holders of securities of every description to
sell and to take advantage of the inflated
prices that have been established. This last
influence we believe to have been most oper-
alive. The other causes, especially the I'M
provement in trade and the rise in money,
would have operated upon the prices of Sc
curities in time, but what we may call the
speculative disposition among holders causes
the effect of these influences to be discount
3D. SO that the decline in securities has al
most preceded the operation of natural
causes, which must have produced that de-
cline" And this fall will probably continue,

The Ages of the AnsediIuviah Patriarchs.
To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
Some days ago you copied an article from
the Popular Science Monthly, written by Mr..
Charles S. Bryant, in which he gave a new
rule for computing Hebrew numbers, and
which, as applied to the ages of Old Tesla
ment characters, reduced the age of Adam
from $50 years to 139 years of Seth from
912 years to 121 years of Enos from 905 to
ia, etc., etc. Mr.. Bryant expressed the
hope that the attention of the committee on
the revision of the Old Testament would be
called to it. The Rev. DR.. Buckley, editor
of the New York Christian Adcocate, wrote a
note to Prof. James Strong, of Drew Thee
logical Seminary, an eminent scholar in the
Hebrew language and literature, and mem
Der of the revision committee of the Old Tes-
lament, in which he asked his opinion as to
whether the views of Mr.. Bryant have any
foundation. The following is Prof. Strong's
answer:

The Rev. J. NJ. Buckley, D. D., Editor the
Christian AdUOcdte:
DEAR SIR:-In reply to yours of the 14th
just received, / have to say that the criticisms
of Charles S. Bryant, in the Popular Science
Monthly for this month on ssThe Duration
of Human Life" as recorded in the Bible
history of the antediluvian patriarchs, only
betray their writer's ignorance. The merest
tyro in the Hebrew should have known that
the expressions in Gen. V, 3 and 5, which
Mr.. Bryant endeavors to assimilate, are very
different from each other, and neither of
them is susceptible of any other meaning
than that assigned to them respectively in
the common English version. The former is,
literally, ''and Adam lived thirty and hun
dred of year, and begat, etc; the latter land
all the days of Adam which he lived were
nine hundreds of year and thirty year, and
he died" CA curious parallel with the He
brew idiom in this last number is found in
the vulgar English phrases Twenty pound,
'Ten stone, -" etc. The plurals of the Hebrew
digits are regularly used for the tens The
subsequent verses are equally explicit and
unsmbiguous. There is no pathological basis
whatever for Mr.. Bryant's correction. The
''error" is all his own.
Yours respectfully,
JAMES STRONG.
Is it not desirable that the above, or some
similar correction, should be as extensively
copied as was Mr.. Bryant's misleading article?

The editor of the StatiSt, in a comparison
between the condition of the stock markets
in the Beginning of 1881 and 1882, says that
in the former period the tendency was to
rise; in 1882 there has been most decided
tendency to fall 1.-THE most general causes
of this decline undoubtedly are the improve
ment of trade, which has brought about
rise in the value of money; the issues of

A suit is before the Supreme Court of Cam
ada in which the costs have already amounted
to $4,000. Mr.. Maclaren, owner of certain
timber lands, improved a stream which
passed through his land so that it was nav
igable for logs. Mr.. Caldwell, his next
neighbor above, took advantage of this to
float his logs down the stream through Mac
laren's land, and the latter took out an in
junction. Caldwell contended that Mr. Mac
laren had no such rights over running water
as to stop another man from floating down
logs on it, but Vice Chancellor Proudfoot, at
Toronto, gave judgment for Maclaren. The
case was carried to the Court of Appeal, and
the Judges there, by two to one. reversed
the Vice Chancellor's decision. The next

Washington correspondence of the Hartford Times,
There are great many peculiar things,
old customs, and ways of doing business
about the United States Supreme Court, that
strike the new justices, as well as those that
come in contact with the court, as being lu-
dicrous if nothing else. AL kinds of efforts
have been made to reform or change them,
but somehow nothing Is ever done in that
direction. In the first place, it is the only
tribunal under the government where the old
custom of wearing gowns is. still followed
though the justices have dicarded the wigs
that were formerly worn. The gown is made
according to the same pattern in use fifty
years ago 1t is not true, the attaches of the
court say, that any of the justices have had
gowns made in Paris by Worth. They are
all home made, and have been made by one
family of people for nearly forty
years Zach Chandler had very poor opin-
ion of these gowns, for it is said of him that
he once said to Salmon p. Chase. g former
chief Justice Salmon, when you have your
id old jacket on you look every inch a
Judge There is no reason why these gowns
should be called jacket, for the skirt reaches
the floor. The gowns are put on the justices
in what is called the robe room, adjoining
the court, at five minutes to II O'Clock, for
the judges never go upon the bench until
high noon. Then after the marshaIs deputy
sings his song about God bless the United
States and Justices of this court" or words
to that effect, the arrival of the Justices hav-
ing been previously announced, they take
their seats and are ready for business.
