National Jockey Club.

The arrangements are very nearly COM
pleted by the National Jockey Club for their
spring meeting, which will commence Tues
day. With such attractive horses as Creed.
moore, Glenmooro, Telemachas, Eolist, Sparks,
Thora, Compensation, Oden, Sprague, and
Sweet Home, the races will be sufficiently ex-
citing to satisfy the most ardent lover of the
turf, especially as the track is one of the best
in the country. The Jockey Club has now q
membership of nearly two hundred, COM
posed of our very best and most enterprising
men. Its roll is increasing daily, and 1t is be-
lieved that 1t Will soon number at least 1ve-
hundred names. 1t Is TO be hoped that the
weather bureau will dispose of all its surplus
rain this week, so as to leave clear sky and
a bright sun for the days Of the races.

DIR, SchaTs Address.

DR.. Philip Schaf, who had been requested
said that once, and once alone, there mad been
person who united tho noblest virtues OF God
and man, who was proud to be called the son
OF man, While he was also the son of God. Had
this great being whom he need not name, de-
parted from this earth? No, he was still with
us and ever ready to speak to from the
pages OF the Holy Scripture, which book, al
though II had human body and was bound,
and sold, and read, and distributed like other
books, but there In behind 1t n holy inspira-
| ton. There is a power behind that throne
which makes IL power, sanctiaer, a re-
| former, savior In every country, every age
| and every cline. The speaker proposed TO
treat OF the human, and not of the divine prop
| critics OF the holy volume; he would endeavor
70 present some facts about the Bible as a
| book. He proceeded to review the origin and
early translations Of the Scriptures. He then
proceeded to give histories OF some OF the old
manuscripts which he said had been slumber-
| Ing undl5turDed for centuries, and had only re-
| Gently been discovered. He spoke OF an explorer
| named Thesenderf who had sought the convent
| OF st. Catherine, near Mount Sanai, In search
| OF old manuscripts, and finding there some
pages from the Greek Testament he carried
| them in triumph 10 Europe and published
| them and found them 10 be among the Oldest
manuscripts extant. He renewed his search
| for other pages OF the manuscript and finally
found monk who had In his possession the
| Oldest copy OF the Old Testament In existence.
| The explorer succeeded In securing the manu-
| scripts for the library OF the Gear OF Russia,
where he deposited them, and they can now be
seen. The speaker enumerated all the
| ancient versions OF the Bible with
| anecdotes about their discovery, preservation
and translation. The purpose, he sald OF his
| remarks was 10 show what inscrutable provi-
| dence had protected and preserved intact tho
books Of the holy book during the ages OF
change, OF war and of revolution, while all
other manuscripts have decayed, have been
| destroyed, and have disappeared.
During the past year, he said, new version
English language, and during the time
which has elapsed since its publication,
| twenty-five American editions had been
Issued, and three million copies had
been sold. This sale was unprecedented,
and corroborated the belief that the Bible Is
not a book. but an institution. II the Bible
were Withdrawn from the libraries which II
adorns and which 1t has prompted the sun
might as well be blotted out from the heavens,
as II could not cause greater or more universal
| darkness.
The Bible presides over all that is good aud
enobling in this life. 1t Is the book OF life
that comes from Heaven, aud leads 10 Heaven;
ihat benefits and eieyates the world and bless
eth all that read It.

The result of the political whirlwind in
November in this country bevildered the
Honolulu papers for the moment, but hav.

TIE PANAMA CANAL.

It is given out on what appears to be
authority, that the whole plan of the
Panama Canal has had to be changed, and
that Lesseps will now proceed to build it
after the old fashion, with locks. OF
course this change makes an enormous
difference in the prospect and advantages
of the work. A canal with locks must be
very tedions and clumsy method OF
crossing the isthmus. In fact 1t Is moth
ing ike what Lesseps has promised, and
is an actual abandonment OF the scheme
upon the strength of which he has already
raised some SO, OOO,0 COO or $50, 600, GEO.
Indeed such a change as is indicated
amounts to a full confession that the
original project was undertaken in pro-
found and reckless ignorance of the exist
ing conditions. This is precisely what has
always been alleged. This Journal, for ex.
ample, has steadily expressed the opinion
that the difficulties of the Chagres river
would render the accomplishment of the
Lesseps scheme impracticable. The old
engineer and protector made light of
all objections when he was putting
his new enterprise, but when
the working parties began to examine the
ground they were not long in discovering
that the original plan was out of the CUES
ton. Then there was delay for long
time. Then there was a report that
viaduct was to be built, to carry the canal
over the Chagres. We showed at the
time that such a change would not meet
the difficulties, and it now appears that the
viaduct has been abandoned, and that after
all the misrepresentation made by NJ. de
Lesseps he will have to fail back upon
lock canal or none at all. After this proof
of the amazing recklessness and dishonesty
which have characterized the undertaking
from the outset, no one ought to be at all
surprised should it be presently announced
that the whole project has been abandoned,
and that the unfortunate shareholders are
left the doubtful recourse of the Courts for
their expended and appropriated money.

BUTLER's FoLIIIcs.

It is whispered about that General But.
Ter, or Governor Butler, as he must now be
called, intends to pose as a Republican,
acting on the theory-true enough in the
main-that he was elected by Republican
votes. OF course everyone understands
that General Buffers political convictions
fit him easily, but unless he means to Law
regular siege to Mass achusetts, and cal.
culates upon being elected Governor again
next year by the old lady, it is difficult to
see what he expects to gain by his alleged
accession from the Democracy. The Massa.
chusests Republicans, however, will nc
doubt be glad enough to have him if he will
go to them. seeing that By such somer.
sault he would relieve the State from the
chagrin of having gone Democratic. But

TIE CASE OF THE LILY"

Mrs. Lapgtry is being talked about in a
way that will not add to her reputation for
purity. Ordinarily, in the case of an
actress, that would be sufficient to secure
at least financial success in her profession,
for there are enough of tie patrons Of the
drama in this day who are drawn by the
curiosity that invests an actress whom the
world charges with indiscretions, to war.
rant managers in specializing upon that fact
and generally with large measure of
success. If scandal has mouthed a WON.
ans reputation who occupies public po-
sition. she may be certain of "house I"
OF spectators SO long as the scandal con-
tinues. Managers do not contract that
purity shall be named in the bond as
claim to be presented for pub
lie consideratioR-the pure women Of
the stage are like pure women everywhere,
not paraded for their virtues. In almost
any other case than the present one we
should be inclined to look upon this whole
Langtry- Labouchere.G ebhardt business as
shrewd managerial advertising dodge.
But in view OF the high character of the
duenna in this society drama and the ex-
plicit derials of Intentional wrong by the
Jersey Lily" that view OF it must be
abandoned. Men should be slow to Judge a
woman, and slower still to convict her upon
the testimony of one of that sex. To cut
off the flower of character is too serious a
specially in the case of woman,
and she stranger on our shores-to be
permitted on the testimony of gossip in
the press, the most persistent of gossips
and by no means the most reliable. But
as go much attention is given by the
dispatches to the subject, to the exclusion
OF more important matter, it is in order to
say that the evidences show the Lily
TO have been at least ;ndiscreet in accepting
the homage of admirers in America, and
that bere choice of gallant has not done
credit to her intelligence or her taste. We
do not understand the severe Mrs. La.
bouchere TO have charged her with more
than this. but it is sufficient to close the
door of Eastern society againt her. Added
to this is the fact that the press is not Civ
ing her credit for sufficient dramatic
ability to carry her through any extended
engagement. 1t may therefore be con.
cluded that the famous English beauty will
fail in the purposes of her visit to the New
World, and must be content with such
gain as she may reap from e very limited
AID not brilliant career in America.
