A "Reminiscences of John Brown.

Mr.. Thomas b. Musgrove, the New
York banker, says Zone day in the
summer of 1859 L was sitting in the dry
goods house of which / was the Junior
partner, and my desk was in the middle
of the floor, as the junior partners al
ways is, when a man came in whom l
recognized in minute as John Brown.
He had been friend of my father, and
a child. He took his seat on bale of
Usnaburgs. Osnaburgs were sort of
bagging used at the time to bale cotton.
AS Brown sat on the Osnaburg, he said {:
These are made of labor that ought to
be face He repeated, feeling them in
his fingers, made of labor that ought to
be Free He then said he wanted to see
the head of the firm, who was also his
friend. L said to him Mr.. Brown,
he is very busy just now. Can't 1 at
tend to your business quite as well :?
What do you want Il want to get
some rifles, he said, for Kansas. I
wanted some money We'll, Mr..
Brown, said /, suppose give you a
check for $5O-won't that do? THAT
will do very well, he said, 'and 1 need
not wait to see Mr.. -
q wrote him the check, and he took
it and put it away, and that is the last
time I ever saw him. AS he got up
from the Osnaburgs he said, shaking his
head: Made of labor that ought to be
free.' A very little while passed, it
seemed to me two months, perhaps,
when L picked up the paper and saw
that John Brown had made descent on
Harper's Ferry. L wrote to him, ex-
pressing my surprise that he was there,
and asking if anything could be done for
him. He replied that he would like to
have a suit of clothes to go to his trial
in. knew what he liked to wear first
rate. He always wore, if he could con-
troll it himself, suit of snuff colored
cloth or cashmere. His hair was of a
brown color, very much like the tint of
snuff colored cloth, and so were his eyes.
His lips always looked to me as if they
had water on them. He spoke with
good, fair grammar, and was an interest.
ing talker. L had the clothes made up
and sent to him to appear at the trial.
Not long after that paper at Rich
mond published the names of Northern
firms whom nothing must be bought
from, and ours among the rest. My
partners came to me and said L had
made a dreadful mistake, and must
drop out of the firm 1 said that would
suit me very well indeed, and sold out
and went to Italy,"

SPEAKING of the Revised Testament,
Rev. II. Dewitt Talmage, of New York,
declares that it twill multiply infdel-
ity," and pronounces the revision lit
erary botch 1t will never be adopted
in this country if the fearless criticisms
of the people speak out their mind. 81
reject this revision, because of its me-
chanical failure because the verses and
heading have been abandoned. Here is
paragraph column and u half long,
in the middle of which are buried the
words "Jesus wept," instead of stand
ing out in solitude with all their grand
eur, pathos, tenderness and omnipo-
tent meaning. 1 reject the new version
because of its amazing trivialty. You
remember Christ's sermon, where He
speaks of putting new wine into old bot
ties. The new version substitutes the
word skins" as if they could not ex-
plain bottles as we'll as skins. "Show
me penny, said Christ. The revisers
say "Show me denarius." The old
style was too much for the delieacy of
our American party of the New Tesla
ment Company where it says, "For he
was naked" The new American CON-
mittee chose that it should read, chad
on his undergarment only" The new
version shook the faith of great multi
tude in the Bible, and gave color to the
attacks of infidelity" He deplored the
circulation of the statements that there
are forty errors in the King James ver-
sion of the Sermon on the Mount and
100000 errors in the New Testament.
He believed the version would make
more inidels than the thirty-eight revis-
ors could reclaim in the 500 years of
Methuselah and half q dozen other Bibli-
cal patriarchs of great age combined.
Since it was claimed that the mistakes
corrected were not important, he could
not see the necessity for correcting them.
" Hands off the Word Of God remem-
Der the fate of Uzziah." Mr.. Talmage
said, if the revision should be re-
viewed there would soon be Bap-
fist revision, Methodist revision, and
so on, "until possibly" he said. 81
shall issue a revision"

OUR YOUNG FOLKS.


Never a boy had 30 many names;
They called him Jimmy, and Jim, and James,
Jeems and Janii- aud we'll he knew
Who IL was that wanted him, too.
The boys In the street ran after him.
Sioutihy out loudly. "Jiin Hey, J-i-m-mi"
Until the echoes, little and hip,
Seemed 10 be dancing Jiri Crow Jig.
And little Mabel out In the hall
Jim-myi Jim-my" would sweetly call,
Until he ans sered and let her know
Where she might mud him, she loved him 80.
Grandpa, who was dignifed,
And held his head with air Of pride,
Didn't believe In abrdg ng names,
And made the most that lie could OF "J-a-m-o-sv
But II papa ever wanted him,
Crisp amt curt was the summons, 4" Jimp
That would make the boy In his errands run
Mucn faster than II he had said, My son."
Biddy O'Flynp could never, il seems,
Call him any thing else hut "Jeems;"
And when the nurse, old Mrs. McVyse,
Called him Jamie" IL sounded nice.
But sweeter and dearer than all the rect,
Was the one pet name he led the best;
"Darlingp he heard il wherever he was at,
For none but his mother called him that.

inridge announcing, on information re-
ceived from Gen. Sherman, that Presi-
dent Lincoln had been assassinated.
An influential citizen of the town who
had come to welcome me was standing
near me, and, after remarking to him in
a low voice that had received the sad
intelligence, 1 handed the telegram to
him. Some troopers encamped III the
vicinity had collected to see me. They
called to the gentleman who had the
dispatch in his hand to read it, no doubt
supposing it to be army news. He COM
piled with their request, and few only,
taking in the fact, but not sppreciating
the evil it portended, cheered, as was
natural, at news of the fall OF one they
considered their most powerful foe. The
man who invented the story of my hav-
ing read the dispatch with exultation
had free scope for his imagination, as he
was not present and had no chance to
know whereof he bore witness, even if
there had been any foundation of truth
for his fiction. For an enemy so relent-
less in the war for our subjugation we
could not be expected to mourn. In
view of its political consequences, it
could not be regarded otherwise than as
great misfortune to the South. He
led. however, the Northern people, and
was without possible malignity toward
the people in the South. His successor
was without power in the North and the
embodiment of malignity toward the
Southern people, perhaps the more so
because he had betrayed and deserted
them in the hour of their need"

AN interesting incident occurred on
board the White Star steamer Germanic
during recent passage. One OF the
cabin passengers, among whom were
William II. Vanderbilt, j. K. Vanderbilt
and Capt. j. III. Vanderbilt, uncle of the
former, tells an interesting story of a
poor, friendl SIS woman in the steerage,
who gave birth to a child when the ship
was three days out, and was made happy
and comfortable by the kindness and
generosity of Mr.. William II. Vanderbilt
and others. A purse of $500 was pre-
scented her, and letter was given by
Mr.. Vanderbilt calling upon the New
York hospital managers to see that the
poor woman received, at his expense,
the best OF care. he mother, Mrs
Margaret Philips, is Welsh woman.
and was on her way alone to join her
husband in this g untry. She was over
ioyed at the symr .thies elected i'll her
behalf, and was particularly delighted
when the Rev. DR.. Satterlee christened
her babe MARY Germanic Vanderbilt
Phillips, after the steamer and her gen
erous benefactor. Capt. Vanderbilt be-
came godfather to the child and Mrs.
George Evans godmother.

AT the exhibition now being held in
Japan an interesting features the success
full use in the machinery hall of paper
betting. The Japanese have long been
celebrated for their manufacture OF some
exceedingly tough descriptions of paper,
and it is stated that the paper betting to
which we have just referred has been
tested and found much stronger than
ordinary leather. Now that machinery ID
rapidly making its way into Japan, the
manufacture of this paper betting is of
special interest to the country, as from
the want of proper tanning good leather
is not made by the Japanese.

ISAAC w. BAILEY, a Philadelphia
bibliomaniac, stole book from Lippin-
colts store. At his trial it was shown
shat he bore an excellent reputation,
was class leader in Methodist church,
had fine library, and was moderately
wealthy; but these things could not
save him from conviction, for several
clerks, who were set to watch, saw him
slip the book under his coat and slyly
quit the store.

Getting the Hang Of the School House.

The old man approached the new
school-master with bulldog glare in
his eye:
"You got after my boy yesterday be-
cause he left live hornet glued to your
chair?"
IT did"
"You licked him so he thought the
world was coming to an end?"
THAT was the impression intended
to convey to him."
'I'm his father, and I've come to let
you know what think Of your proceed
ings."
Then they clinched. Hair and blood
flew in the air, likewise dust and frag-
ments of garments. Then it Quoted
down little, and the old man implored
him to let him up, stop choking and
take his teeth from that ear.
what do you think about my warm
ing your boy?' asked the teacher.
81 think you did just right, and when
l go home I'll give him tanning that'll
teach him not to come to me with his
complaints, and stories that the school
master cant fight"
They parted, and the school master
murmured: 81 did right to tackle the
worst fighting man in the district first.

ACCORDING to New York correspond
ent, in that city and suburbs there
never was knows such activity in build
ing as now. 1t is not merely the extern
sion of the city, but the tearing down of
buildings yet good for many years serv-
ice to give way to larger structures. In
the oldest portion of the metropolis, the
historic Beaver, or, as it was formerly
called, Marketfeld street, is disappear
ing under the enlargement of the Prod
uce Exchange. Murderers' Row, at
Houston street and Broadway, is being
wiped out, and the modest office of John
Jacob Astor, in Prince street, together
with the row of buildings extending
back to Mercer street, has disappeared.
In the places of the buildings torn down
south of Chambers street scores OF lofty
buildings, from seven to ten stories
high, are rising in obedience to demands
for Office room at the great financial
center. The Mills building. on Wall
and Broad streets and Exchange place,
ten stories high, will cost $1,000, 90.
The tribune has begun the demolition
of the old building on Spruce street adj
joining the new building, and will CON-
plete the original design of the latter by
extending it around to Cliff street. The
statue of Horace Greeley will be placed
in a favorable position on this building.
The new Produce Exchange building
will cost 81, 000,0 900.

Look ut YOur Thumbs.

II anybody will look carefully at the
end of his thumb he will find that the
surface is ridged with little thread-like
ranges of hills, wound round and round
in tiny spirals. If he will take magni-
flying glass and examine them closely,
he will find that there is good deal Of
individuality in the way in which these
are arranged. No two thumbs in all the
world are exactly alike. The miniature
mountain ranges are as fixed and decided
as the Alps or the Sierras, the geography
of the thumb as unmistakable. Now
the Chinese have made use of this fact
fer establishing q rogue's gallery.
Whenever criminal is examined by the
law, an impression is taken of his thumb.
Smeared with little lampblack, par
TALLY wiped, and then pressed down on
piece OF paper, an engraving of the
thumb Is made, and kept in the police
records.
1t serves just the same purpose which
is served by our photographing our
burglars and pickpockets. The accused
Can be identified with great certainty.
Nothing short of mutilating or burning
the thumb can obliterate It's features.
Sometimes CHASTITY proof of guilt is
furnished. A murderer, red-handed with
his crime, may touch his fingers end
upon white wall, and so leave in the
color of his guilt photograph on the
accusing wall. His signature is left,
just as unmistakable as If he had signed
the bond of his iniquity; and thus
great crimes have been brought to light,
and deeds of blood made to tell their
own story.
But this individuality in the skin of
the tip OF the thumb, strongly marked
as it is, yet admits of strong family like
ness. Brothers and sisters who will
take impressions OF their thumbs will
find resemblances among each other that
they will not find when comparing them
with the thumbs of strangers. Even
thus infinitely does that strange thing,
family likeness, descend What wonder
is it that faces look alike, voices sound
alike; how can it seem strange that
members of the same family should have
dispositions and similarities of temper,
of mental aptitudes and hereditary dis
eases, when such minor peculiarities rs
the texture at the end of the thumb, and
its ranges of hills, should also have fam
lily resemblances in the midst of their
indefinite diversities?
