Hotel Life in America.

both sexes, who did not wish to be excluded
from respectable society, and who yet were
drawn by low instincts toward what was evil,

impunity with certain commandments of the
Decalogue.
However, my feeling is that electricity

The Luther Celebrations.

Erfurt has had its celebration, and the Ger
mans made a display such as they only can.
There was no lack of fun. Beer flowed in
abundance. Some of the scenes recalled the
memory of the pagan festivities under the
Roman republic. 1t was the opening festiv-
ity, and was intended to commemorate
Luther's visit to the Diet at Worms. From
now until November the fatherland will be
given up very much to Luther. The CONT
mental press have very much tosay about the
reformer and his work. The Paris Temps
discusses professionalism verv freely, and says
that Luther opened a door which no man has
shut since, nor will shut. Luther, it tells
US, did less harm to the church than the
church has lone to herself, in emphasizing
her doctrines and narrowing her bases. The
Rappel, taking up the general subject, thinks
that the various religious systems have lived
their day, and have finished their role in the
history of humanity and of progress. Lon
don is to have a Luther exhibition. The
Granville Library in the British Museum is
to be thrown open, and a vast number of
relics of the reformer and his friends are to
be exhibited. There are several portraits of
Luther, all of them illustrations of different
periods in his career. There are copies of
his Bible, editions of his works, ETC., and
there are some valuable medals.

Old Testament Revision.

New York Special.
Prof. Henry W. Green, of Princeton, N.
j., who is one of the American committee
on the revision of the Old Testament, said
this morning that a meeting of the commit
tee woul probably be held at the Bible
House the last Thursday in this month The
revision is now nearly complete, and the
work will be ready for publication some
time next year. The Hebrew text upon
which the new version is based
is that known as the "Masoret-
ic," or traditional. The English and
American committees have been working in
concert, and the plan pursued has been for
the English committee to revise a certain
book and send the result of their labors over
here. The American committee then went
over the work, made such suggestions,
objections, alterations, and additions as ap-
peared to them to be necessary, and resub-
mitted the work to the English committee.
The English committee then reconsidered
the whole and again sent the result to
America, when the process was repeated
and the work returned to England. Having
been revised a third and last time in Eng
land, it was sent back here, and the present
is the third and last revision here.

Tinto, the Ferry-House Parrot.

OUR Little Ones.
Tinto was a beauty, dressed in green and
crimson. with here and there a dash of gold.
He could talk very we'll, and was fond of
doing so. He lived at a ferry-house, on a
river in Alabama.
Tinto's master kept a refreshment-room.
His cage used to hang at the door, where the
people passed in going to and from the boats.
This parrot was in the advertising business.
He was quick in picking up words and short
sentences.
Hot coffee, sir?" Have a bite?' "Here's
the place!' Come in, ALL" He kept using
these phrases, and brought in many custom
ers to his master.
Tinto not only said what he was taught,
but he would initiate many ounds he heard.
He could whistle TO the dogs he saw, and
they would run all about to find their mas
tiers. He tried to crow like the old rooster in
his masters yard, but this was almost the
only thing he could not do.
Tinto was a very noisy bird. He used to
scream very loud, and chatter as though he
were laughing. He seemed to take an inter-
est in everything that was going on near the
ferry.
One day he played a sad trick upon a poor
horse. Dobbin was a good horse, and always
obeyed his driver. He used to draw loads,
brought across the river in the boats, up to
the town. When Dobbin's master went to
dinner he used to leave his team by the
ferry-houSe.
The wagon was backed down the gangway,
ready to take in a load. Tinto saw the
horse every day, and heard what was said to
Dobbin. l don't know whether the parrot
meant to be naughty or not, but he cried
out as lond as he could, back up, Dobbin!
back up, Dobbinl back up, STRIP
Dobbln had backed Town the gangway
hundreds of times before when he heard the
order. He did so this time. Tinto kept
saying the same words, and Dobbin kept
backing. He backed the wagon off the
gangway, and then went over into the river
himself.
A boy saw all this, and called Dobbin's
master. After some hard work the poor
horse and the wagon were taken out of the
water. Tinto was kept in the attic a month
for this trick. Perhaps he wished he had
done nothing but the advertising business.

The Unxnown Quantity.

New York Evening Post.
The late Professor Moses Stuart Phelps
used TO tell this story with great glee. In the
days when he was a graduate student of New
Haven he took a walk one morning with
Professor Newton, who lives in the world OF
mathema tics. Professor Newton, as is his
habit, start ed off on the discussion of an abb
stract problem. AS the Professor wentdeeper
and deeper, Mr.. Phelps's mind wandered
further from what was being said. At last
Mr.. Phelps's attention was called back to his
companion by the Professors winding up
with, (which. you see, gives us x"
Does it?" asked Mr.. Phelps, thinking that
in politeness he ought to reply something.
why, doesn't it?' excitedly exclaimed the
Professor, alarmed at the possibility that a
flaw had been detected in his calculations.
Quickly his mind ran back over the work.
There had indeed been a mistake: "4ou are
right, Mr.. Phelps, you are right" almost
shouted the Professor. ut doesn't give US

Prof Newton looked upon Mr.. Phelps as a
mathematical prodigy. He was the first
man who had ever caught the Professor

to add. with his own peculiar smile, in telling
the story, II achieved a reputation for

When he opened it he found that he was the

A Newly-Married Couple.

A gentleman just in from u Western
trip gives very laughable account Of
a newiy marriad couple who boarded
the train at a way station. He says,
as the train drew up to the - n the
whole Car was aroused by the unusual
Gin. and noisy farewells, "Wish you
much joys" and repeated kissings Of a
jovial crowd Of young f'lks.
The newly, married couple, arrayed
in wedding costumes. and evidently
fresh from the final service. took seats
Ia the centre of the car. and we're at
once the attraction. In very few
moments both the bride and groom
gave evidence that there were some
more overp .wering agencies than love
ut work in their systems. The groom
turned over seat i'm front, and elecat-
ed his pedals; &c put his arm modest
ly upon the hack Of the seat while
he air from the window f,sted the
the white vail and tn efavsr of orange
blossoms over his face. But something
was on his mind. and he momentarily
grew more restless. and twisted and
squirmed in all manner Of ways. The
bride. too, seemed tn have the same
symptoms. She tried the easiest stti-
,udes. now with her head lovingly ON
his manly shoulder. then suddenly
arousing and looking uneasily from
the window as if in expectancy o.
disaster. Or that she would meet thu
frown of an angry father.
