On the whole, therefore, SO far as a cursory
examination can be a test, we hold that the
Translators have done their work with good
taste.delicacy and irmness. There are needless
alterations indeed, and there is also occasional
" q fault in the direction of TOO little alteration.
We wish they had not left the unintelligible
word " Racca0 still untranslated in the Sermon
on the Mount we wish they had not shrunk
from giving the nearest English coin they could
for the "denarius," instead of translating
It by the misleading word "penny";; We wish
that in the conversation with Nicodemus
they had adopted in the text the literal
rendering for which the minority give in
the margin ["from %above'b instead of leaving
the "anew' of the Authorised Version. But
these are mistakes Of over-caution, If they are
mistakes at all. PROFESSIONALLY the Revised
Version will give the whole English reading
world a very much better conception Of what
the New Testament really is than they have
ever had before, and will give it without pro-
ducing any excessive number of those needless
~ jarring notes which any unnecessary altera-
zion in a book so familiar and so dear to the ear
as oar English Bible, necessarily Strikes
causing a sort of instructive resentment, which
it takes a good deal Of good-sense and good.

AbSinthe Drinking,

Absinthe drinking is said to steadily
increase in the Republic, but much less
steadily than in Switzerland and France,
particularly in France, where great efforts
are made for its abatement. 1t las
grown to an enormous evil In those coun-
tries, notably in the large cities, like
Geneva, Zurich Berne, Marseilles,
Lyons, and Paris. At the French capt.
tai the practice has augmented alarm
ingly within eight or ten years, officers
of the army, business and professional
men, and journalists and authors being
especially its victims. A French physi-
clan of cminence has recently declared
that II Is ten times more pernicious

lady living in Williamsburg has

that she had used it with success with
her six children: Take a slice of fat

The Hair of Prominent Men.

In this feature, writes the New York
correspondent Of the Rochester Demo
crat, n T. Willis and Horace Greeley
were entirely dissimilar. Willis had long
and beautiful ringlets, of which he was
very proud, while, as is well known,
Greeley became bald early in life. the
base of the head being merely fringed
with gold. We may note that many of
our best writers or public men were in
similar condition. Washington Irving
wore n wig half his lifetime. William
Loyd Garrison was well known for his
smooth pate. Wendell Phillips has only
a few scattered silver locks Ralph Wal
do EmmersOn keeps his head cropped
closely. Such, also, was the practice of
the late Charles Sumner. 1t may be
urged against long haired men that not
only Willis (who was a rake) was thus
adorned. but also that the magnates of
the Brooklyn scandal, (Beecher and Til
tom are also OF the long-haired class.
Theodore Parker, on the other hand. was
bald and so was John Quincy Adams.
The late Chief Justice Chase was much
in the same condition Speaking of
fashion, it may be said that the ancient
Greeks wore their hair long, while the
Egyptians cut it off, and wore light wigs.
In France, at one time, short hair was
the style, and in the reign of Louis Qua
torze 1t was worn of prodigious length,
and was done up in a lofty manner The
hair fashion If New York, at present. de-
serves more space than can just now be
afforded, notwithstanding the importance
of the theme.

Not TO BE COeFced.

Calling early one hot morning in the
summer of 1859 at the residence of
Stephen A. Douglas, In Washington, |
found him earnestly engaged in CONVEX
sation with a Northern Senator, sup
porter of the administration of James
Buchanan, who wRs endcavOring To Sc

an important office, whose nomination
was to be sent TO the Senate on that day
At this time Mr.. Douglas, by his re-
fusal to support the "Lecompton Con
stitution" for the Government of the
Territory of Kansas, which he consid-
cred fraud, and an insuperable obstacle
to the future prosperity Of the Territory,
had incurred the enmity of Mr.. Blu
chanan and his Cabinet advisers. From
them he had, according TO his own stat, =
ment, experienced annoynnccs and per
secutiOns which had aroused all the bit
| terness of his nature.
He listened attentivcly to the appeal
| of the Senator, and, w,tIynlg direct
response, proceeded to speak of the treat
| ment he had received from Buchanan
| and his suborlnatcs in Office. As he
proceeded he became terribly cluqu ut.

The Senator, evidently dccming it
useless, or, perhaps, unsafe, for him TO
reply, made no response, but quickly
lett the house, and Mr.. Douglas re

Youthful Criminals.

A New York Herald reporter visited
the jefferson Market and Tombs prisons.
in that city, where youthful offenders
against the law are detained Warden
McDermott informed him that their av-
erage age is from twelve to sixteen years,
but sometimes they are as young as
eight One boy of fourteen was sen
fenced for twenty days, and his crime
WAS stealing n pair of socks The
weather was bitter cold, and 1t WAS clear
ly evident that the child took them to
keep from perishing with the cold. One
of the boys, about thirteen years of age,
said he had been arrested for stealing
zinc sign, which was insecurity fastened
at the doorway of n large building He
admitted that he had been with several
other boys, who started away with 1t,
but on discovery had dropped 1t. This
boy dld not run away, and was arrested
His father went to a lawyer TO secure his
services for his defense, and was told
that for $40 he could get the boy ac-
quilted. The father was very poor, but
in the belief that his son was innocent he
pawned number of articles, and man
aged to scrape together the requisite $50,
which he handed to the lawyer The
latter, inst before the trial. told the
father 1t would be necessary for him to
have SO in order to secure the boys
acquittal and that the $50 paid was sim
ply his fee for legal services The father
had no means of raising the additional
SO, and the boy got thirty DAYS in
prison while the Toombs lawyer got $50
Of the poor father
One cell was occupied by mere child
of ten years Unlike the cells in the
Jefferson Market Prison, which are used
for like purpose. these cells in the
Tombs are dark, dismal, and repulsive
The corridor IN the part now under
notice is narrow, low, and dingy, and the
whole aspect of the place as rcpellant as
Murderers' Row on the other side of the
prison.
'What're you here for ?" was asked of
a boy III a cell.

Didn't you know that you would be
sent to prison if you stole 1t ?"
mo, sir.
The boy was apparently of average in
telhgence, but Tery pale and thin in
flesh He both looked and spoke as if
he were in Ill health, and his appearance
did not indicate more than eight years of
age. Close questioning developed the
statement that he had never stolen any
thing before, and that he went to church
and attended school. And yet this nero
child was incarcerated in this gloomy
cell just as were adult murderers in the
other side of the prison.

How Grnnt Lenrncd to Smoke.

General Grant has explained how he
became attached to a cigar. When at
West Point he tried to Join other cadets
in smoking, but the experiment did not
agree with him and he did not form the
habit, nor did he begin TO smoke much
until he began fighting the battle of the
war Engaging in all the early contests,
he found cigar of some service in re-
heving the mental strain upon him, and
when battle was in progress he often
had q cigar in his mouth, but still he
was not an inverterate smoker On other
occasions he probably did not smoke so
much rs most men of modern indulgence
To his surprise he found the newspapers
making point of his smoking, and
very soon boxes of excellent cigars began
to arrive at his headquarters from all
parts of the country. There were so
many that all officers attached to his inn
mediate service were supplied, and with
such a supply he assisted in samplng
until, as the campaign went on, he en-
loyed his cigar on all occasions and has
since smoked as much as the best of
men. He thinks the newspapers in
auenced him good deal on the tobacco
question.

An Expensive Pleasure.

1t is no trifing expense TO be brides
maid at fashionable wedding" says a
Washington correspondent of the Hart
ford (Ct.) EUening Post. "a lady
hearing another ask her daughter if she
was to be an attendant at a certain we'd
ding, promptly answered: No; 1 am
tired of paying at least 500 for the dress
she wears whenever she is bridesmaid.
She has bought dresses for that purpose
seven times. and that is enough OF
course handsome present is always
gwen by a bridesmaid to the bride, which
adds considerably to the cost of her at
tendance on her friend. The best man
at some weddings is forced to pay good
round sum for boquets for the brides
maids l know of one instance where
young gentleman. who could i'll afford it,
was told that he would be expected to
present each of twelve bridesmaids with
boquet OF rosebuds. There were no
groomsmen at that wedding. and only
SIX ushers, so the unfortnnate best man,
after he had accepted the post. was coolly
told that he would be required to pro
vide the round dozen of boauets.
