sKYLARKs ON LONG ISLAND.
From the Forset and Stream.

From the Forset and Stream.
Those who have been interested in the
importation of the English skylark into
this country will be glad to know that the
experiment made some years ago on Long
Island has proved success. A number
of birds were put out at Flatlands, Long
Island, near the county houses, some years
ago, before the war, we believe and these
birds and their progeny have been seen al
most every year since. Mr.. Edmund Or
gill has frequently seen them there and
heard them sing. One remarkable thing
about their annual return is that they have
always come back to the exact locality
where they were at first put out.

The Baptists are not satisfied with the
revision of the the New Testament. Though
belonging to the Evangelical churches,
they do not accept translation of the
word 6dpttdzO which makes use of any
other term than immense" and for this
reason several Of their close communion
scholars have gone to work. For the
same reason, few years ago. their mis-
sionaries in China refused to accept the
authorized Chinese translation of the Scrip
lures, and set about making translation
of their own. That there should be no
sprinkling or pouring going on when their
translation was taught, they were excep
tionally careful in the selection Of the Chi
nese word which should accurately repre-
sent the meaning of baptidzo. Finally
they hit upon the word which they relig-
iously believed could not be construed into
any other meaning than @'immerse, this
word they made most CONSPICUOUS in their
translation. Not long after they were con-
WINGED by some of the scholarly devotees
to Joss that the only meaning of the Chi
nese word into which they had rendered
baptidzo was soak. Except We repent,
believe and be soaken'" was a sumner to
the missionaries and their new version.
The distribution of the soaking doctrine
was very properly and very promptly sus
pended, - Cincinnati Enquirer.

There is a question Of considerable i

There is question Of considerable i'm
portance, and one deserving OF prompt
and strong action, which will come before
the next Congress- and that is the Mormon
one As the case now stands, Utah is the
scene of crimes which would send man
to the penitentiary in any other state, and
vet they are tolerated. In fact more than
tolerated, they are tacitly approved Of
The Mormons have had for years one OF
their number, saint" of the highest de-
gree of turpitude, sitting in our House OF
Representatives, and assisting in framing
our laws. The Governor of Utah has had
the courage and sense Of right to refuse to
this man his certificate of election; and 1t
remains to be seen whether republican
House viii approve of this course; or for
the sake of another vote, seat the Mormon
republican, and throw out the democratic
Gentle. The presence of a man who
openly laughs at our laws, in the House,
is a continued reproach to our government
and disgrace to the country. The only
question is, viii it continue ?

The republican love for the black ]

The republican love for the black man is
exemplifed in strange and wonderful
ways For instance when the republicans
were in hopeless minority in the house
of representatives. they gave Rainey, col
ored man from South Carolina, the empty
compliment Of the nomination for clerk OF
that body, knowing well that he could not
be elected; but now that that they have
a majority and can elect their candidates,
they pass Mr.. Rainey by on the other side,
although he is asking for the position.
Philadelphia never had negro police
man until she had democratic mayor to
appoint them. In Philadelphia, as else
where, republicans feed the colored people
wholly and entirely on wind pudding

The Chicago Inter Ocean is undoubtedl.
riUht when If cave

The Chicago Inter Ocean is undoubtedly
right when it says
"There is now scarcely dissenting
voice to the proposition that Vice-Presi-
dent Arthur perform temporarily the du-
ties of the Executive. The Louisville
ourier-Journal, assuming that none will
dispute the disability of the President,
says: Vice President Arthur is the con-
stitutionally designated person to perform
the duties of Chief Executive in case of
the disability Of that officer. We think
the time has come when it should be sus
gested to Mr. Garfield to request Arthur
to enter upon the discharge OF Executive
duties, and to continue their performance
until he RECEIVERS. We see no other course
to take, as the members of the Cabinet
have, with a living Vice-President, no ex
ecutive authority, not being elected by the
DeOule 4"

The Princess Louise persists in

The Princess Louise persists in remain
ing in England, and the Canadians do not
seem overly flattered by her preference fol-
the mother country.
A Hamilton, Canada, paper is SO dis
gusted as to declare that ''the presence OF
the Princess Louise in England is a con-
slant advertisement that she had rather be
grass widow than reside in Canada, and
Canadians cannot be hattered by the i'm
piled contempt for them and their sur
roundings."
The entire sentiment of the Dominion
is, that while her husband is Governor, ii
would be as well for her to be with him.
The Princess seems to be mistress of the
situation, however, and lives where she
pleases.

THE MEDICAL CONGRESS ON v1v1sEcT1oN

from the LOnuOn UAlIy NEWS.
The following resolution Of the Physi-
illogical Section was approved and passed;
That this Congress records its convic
ton that experiments on living animals
have proved of the utmost service to the
medicine in the past, and are indispensa
BILE for It's future progress; and according
ly, while strongly deprecating the infiic-
ton of unnecessary pain, it is Of opinion
that, alike in the interests of man and of
animals, it is not desirable to restrict com
petent persons in the performance of such
experiments.
This resolution evoked much cheering.

ImDroyed mail facilities. tie use of ST

Improved mail facilities, the use of steam
and electricity in the transportation of
business have almost revolutionized the
methods of trade, in the last thirty years.
Every village, almost every cross road, has
bank or a house, or firm doing a regular
or semi-banking business. clearing houses
in cities settle the balances with little actual
money. Checks and drafts in all instances
representing money have taken the place
of actual coin or currency to so great an
extent as to have nearly banished them
from current transactions. In the year
1880 the transactions of the New York
clearing houses amounted to the almost
fabulous sum Of $57 900, 900, 600. Of this
volume of business no more than 81, 500,
