Railroad Matters.

The report that the Oregon Short
Line would be finished to ShoshoRe
Junction, lS5 miles east of here, and
that the keltou stage would turn TO
that point on the 1st of February, is
mistake. This occurrence will happen
about the LIST of March, one month
later. A further report that the grad
ers are going to start in ON branch
or switch from the main line to this
city, has no foundation, as far as we
are able to learn. 1t is hardly posi-
bic for them to do so so soon, for they
have no line located. Chief Engineer
Clark, of this division, who left here
with all his surveying parties abeut a
month ago, is now running line down
Snake river from Olds' Ferry, by way
of Lewiston, and it looks as if til,
company intend to go that way if ii
possible TO locate the road along th'
river bank. II this shenld be the case

care much about going off to Wash

The patients at the insane asylum
IN East Portland we're given dane
ing party last night in the assembly
room under the supervision Of the su-
perinteudent, officers and warden. The
music was furnished by Prof. Parish
and two assistants. The patients
seemed to enjoy the amusement with
as much spirit as sane folks usually
do. One noticeable distinction be-
tween the two classes is that the pa
tlents always commence and quit with
the music and do not indulge in en-
cores. All the prominent characters
were present. The gentleman who
imagiues that he is Sultan, and that
all the lady officers in the institution
are his wives, sat bolt upright against
the wal, watching the movements OF
those ladies with as jealous All eye as
anyone would. The gentleman who
never issued less than $4,000 checks
on LadPs bank was present hunting
for some stranger to give check. A
tall gentleman with supple jointed an
kles was the central figure of the
dance. His object in life was to get
in all the steps the law allowed in a
e jig, which he did. He would have
! been hero at country dance down
Q 10 Arkansaw. The little fellow who
i loved only one girl, made the "wall.
s flowers" wilt by dancing every SCI
!, with her, and refusing to allow her Z
l. change of partners. But he did, how
S ever, consent to a gentleman from tn,
swamp-land district engaging her TO
: the dance, but while the gentleman
:. was behind a screen arranging hi
30 toilet, the selfish man slipped ava
with the flower of lis heart. Their
:. were several patients at the dane
bo who are nearly or quite well, but di
not object to the surroundings.

. there has desperate, wild look
her?' NO, l do not" replied the r
porter; "she is one of the warden

Of the gambling-room toward the bar,
Ross being unarmed, and endeavoring
to either escape or reach weapon.
As he reached the door leading into
the saloon he received ball in the
side. After firing the shot Coombs
slipped and fell and Ross, turning,
sprang upon him and tried to wresch
the pistol from his hand, when he re-
ceived the second ball between the
eyes, and died soon after. Coombs
gave himself up.

do not say that such parents are des-
titute of the grace of God, but how nope
ratlve 1t is, through their worldliness.
They are certainly not living under the
power of the world to come. They are
not constrained in their own daily life
or IN their methods of training their chill
dren by the love of Christ they must
esteem the souls of those committed to
their care, as OF very little account.
Can we wonder that the ways of Zion
mourn and also that many OF Gods pee
pie are walking mournfully before Him
because of these spiritual desolations?
Oh that the whole Church would
sink down into the dust before God and
cry out, wilt Thou not revive us again?"
That will be the set time to favor Zion,
when His servants shall take pleasure
In her stones and favor the dust thereof"
But may we not fear that true and
genuine revival would be regarded with
aversion by many who come to the Lords
table? Would they not be compelled to
change the whole course of their lives?
Would they not be obliged to turn their
backs upon the theatre, "the modern
dance" and Sunday recreations and a
hundred little frivolities which have been
eating up their spiritual life for years
past? Would it not be terrible sitting
process with many? Would not some be
compelled to go where they really belong,
to the world, and others would return to
their first love and to renewed conse-
Grafton of themselves to Christ's service?
The final discerning and separation be-
tween the true and the false, between the
righteous and the wicked, between him
that serveth God and him that serveth
Him not, is not so far off. The day of
the Lord is at hand.
May every one who has named the
name of Christ depart from all iniquity,
and be ready with garments unspotted
from the world, to meet the tremendous
issues of that day. Mon.

cepted the direct affirmation that the
Scriptures are inspired must be ruled out
of this famous passage. 1t is of course
imaginable that the revisers' Scripture
inspired of Cod is equivalent to the
attributive expression, "God-inspired
Scripture" This would, nevertheless,
require us to suppose the revisers to be
great bunglers in tne use of language.
The classic rule is undoubtedly deviated
from in the New Testament, where in
Paul's writing particularly the epithet
regularly follows the word all and a
noun which discards the article. wit
ness 2 Cor. TX: s; Eph. i: 3; l Thes. V;
%; Tim, V: 10; Tim. ii: 81, iii: II,
iv: IS; Titus i 16, iii: etc.)
The clause might be taken hypotheta-
caJH: Eoery Scripture" IF God-an-
Spired" This would be to admit at one
door what had been elected at another ;
for in this hypothetical sense the phrase
would differ no more in substantial mean
ing from the attributive " God-inspired
Scrip ture" (Which was adjudged by classic
rather than by later usage to be gram
matically derelict) than tYeedledum diff
fers from tweedledee. GA rose under
another name would smell as sweet" In
this contingency we should once more be
left in the lurch and be all at sea again
as to what is "God-inspired Scripture
and what is not.
Still it is not to be denied that the
clause might be taken cau8alLy: Every
Scripture SEEING THAT IT is " God-ln-
-nired" This is the way Bengel and
other orthodox expositors have regarded
the phrase. If we could only be sure
that this was what the new translation
meant, we should be in better spirits
for though the direct affirmation would
be gone, the necessary implication of the
doctrine would remain.
There is, too, still another view that
may be taken of the clause, it may be re-
garded as merely circaImStGntiaJ: Every
Scripture" BEING God-inspired" This
is the view of the passage advocated by
Bishop Ellicot (and perhaps by Origen,
in his published comment on the text
This view amounts to much the same as
the last, and is almost as innocuous. The
wretched pity is that the revisers are not
present to explain their work to the ma
jority of simple readers; and their slav.
ish adherence to the literal order of the
words here, without any regard to the
suggestions of ten thousand analogous
Greek sentences, will lead Git is to be
sadly feared) to fatal misrepresentation
They have rejected the plain, safe road
for one that is obscure, intricate, and
beset with pitfalls.
