The New Version.


| have been examining the specimens
of The New Version" of the Scriptures published
in THE REPUBLICAN and other papers, and 1 must
confess that the examination has not impressed
me favorably to the new as compared with the old.
1 think it is easily demonstrate that in nearly
every of departure from the old reading there
has been a change for the worse. The truth is,
that King James version almost approaches per-
fiction in the use of terse old Saxon words and
a specimen of pure English it cannot be excelled.
1t is therefore idle to expect any change for the
better in these days when words used &" to con-
ceal thought" and not to express them. IN the
preparation of the old version every
word was weighed and considered with
patient thoroughness that this hurrying age will
not permit, and the result that for
hundreds of years that version has been accepted
by tn church and by the best oriental scholars as
being as near perfect as it possibly can be. One
test of this perfecton-and it is an almost concu-
sive one-is found in the fact that every new dis
covery made in the country of Judea by modern
ravelers in regard to the manners and customs of
that changeiess people corroborates fully every
statement in the old version in regard to such mat
ters predict that the old version will maintain
its place in the hearts and affections of all lovers
of revealed truth and that after the first rush to
satisfy morbid curiosity the whole thing will fall
fiat on the market. VOX POPULI.

Standard tfe,e Eycrywhere.

1t is a long way from the Atlantic to the Pacific
and from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico. but in all
the vast area lying within those boundaries there
is not city, a town, village, settlement or camp
where Hostetters Stomach Bitters is not well known
and in great demand. 1t is the great household
medicine of the American people, and is taken
everywhere as a safeguard against epidemics and
endemics, as remedy for dyspepsia, biliousness,
and Irregularities of the bowels for chills
and fever and rheumatic ailments, as ,edative
in nervous cases. as a wholesome exhflarant in
hypochondria, and as a general inyigorant and
restorative. To the weak and dropping it imparts
strength and vitality, bracing the relaxed nerves
and rousing all the latent energies of the system
For years it has been the standard tonic and cor
rective of the western world MWF

The Ohice-Seekers Left Stranded by the
Adjournment.

One of the curious, but by no means
uncommon, phases of Washington life is the num-
Der of men one meets about the hotel corridors and
other public places who have some claim upon
the present administration for services rendered
during the campaign, but have not received their
expected reward. Of course in one sense in this
class might have been comprised the whole army
of placeseekers which have infested the city since
the 4th of March. But these that remain COM
prise those vicariouS workers WHOSE services are
best known to themselves Whenever they can
get listener they
GROW ELOQUENT
upon the methods they employed to make their
county solid. Before they plunged into the fray
the Republican outlook was exceedingly gloomy,
but at the expense of their time and the expendi-
ture of their private means they Snatched victory
from the jaws of defeat. A great many hail from
Southern districts, where they say Republicans
were not allowed to vote before but at the risk of
their lives they marshaled the Garfield forces and,
if they did not carry the district, they at least
brought ont that unprecedented thing, Re-
publican vote. Another will tell you he went out
to Indiana or some other close State and made
speeches all through the campaign and expended
his own money freely. When
THE SENATE ADJOURNED,
and these faithful workers found that their
names had not been sent in, they felt very much
down in the mouth: but still they have hopes
that the bestowal of places is not yet over. They
have set down to a patient siege, and have put
themselves on half rations. They are not quite so
fresh and trim as when they first struck Washing
ton, and show a tendency toward dirty linen.
Their package of papers and letters is getting
soiled and ragged but still it is always
ready in that inside coat pocket, and
comes out to give point and mphasis to their self
paid tributes IS their services. They are diScour
aged, but still hopeful, and intelligence as to
changes in the Department is eagerly sought for.
They have become tired of sitting around in the
ante-room of the White House, and seldom go
there now But still they have lively desire to
know what the President has said in regard to
future changes. There is one
CRUMB OF COMFORT
when the President was reported as saying, 1
wish my friends to be patient They had been
trying to be patient, they thought, but they were
perfectly willing to keep on, and their hopes were
considerably raised So the crowd of political
workers are waiting, and they have hung so long
that the prospect is very fair that they will be able
to hold out until the end. This class forms very
curious and interesting portion of our community
just at present, and if one wishes to hear a man
that is in earnest talk let him fall in with one of
these patent walters. They are not only dead in
earnest, but they are thorough believers in them
selves and can shoot off more politics in quarter
ofan hour than an average citizen can digest in a
week
