Sale OF the Revised Version.

NEW YORK, March ia leading book
seller informed Post reporter that the sale
of the Revised Testament Is so small as
scarcely to be mentioned. When the popu-
lar curiosity was satisfied, the sale stopped
as If by magic. During last month we sold
perhaps five or six hundred copies of the
authorized edition of the New Testament,
and not more than half dozen copies of the
revised edition. The sudden failure of the
work, so to speak, has been severe blow to
many leading purchasers. Some twenty five
or thirty editions have been issued at an ex-
pense of several hundred thousand dollars.
Judging by the present sale of the New
Testament revision, the American publishers
will be few who will undertake to spend
money In the issue of revised editions of the
Old Testament.
The Rev. DR.. Schaff, Chairman of the
Revision Committee, said that about $780,
900 copies had been sold, which is not small
for new edition of an old work; genera
ton hence, the new edition would displace
the prenset authorized version.

THE SCHOOL LAW.

The amendments to the school law enacted
al the recent session makes change In the
time Of electing School Trustees from August
to the first Saturday In April Of each year.
The law Is very ambiguous as TO how
many Trustees are TO be elected April Z,
1888, but IL is probable It is only intended
that one shall be elected In place OF the
Trustee whose time would otherwise expire
in August, instead Of all three.
The law also probably contemplated con-
ferrlng the right to vote at school elections on
women; but by Its phraseslosy only those
who are ataxable residents are eligible to
vote or become Trustees, which excludes
nearly all women.
II was also apparently intended TO Try the
compulsory education system; but the ex-
emption Of those from Its provision who re-
side distance Of more than one mile from
where school Is taught, makes Il ipopera-
tive In the very instances II was most desir-
able TO reach.
The amendments, In these particulars, are
very bunglIngly made, but, such As they are,
will have to be endured for two years.

Parties just down from the north say that
the cattle losses in that country are not a.
heavy as reported that the Cechrane COM
pany have lost about a thousand head out of
herd Of some fifteen thousand, and this most
ly from the Poirdsxter s. Orr band which
were driven in last fall. There had been
heavy SHOWS there, bur rain storm cleared
off good deal Of it, except just where the
Cochrane cattle ranged, on Bow river. and
there soft snow melted and then frcze over
making 1t impossible for the cattle to get At
the grass. When our informant left the snow
was nearly all off and very little more loss
was expected .-Rirer Press.

A correspondent at Glendale writes of the
death of Eben Shoemaker, formerly Of Butte,
who died in the Big Hole Basin from gun
shot wound aocidently self4aficted on the
18th of last February Shoemaker was cross
ing the ice on stream in the Basin on the
day mentioned, and while using the butt-end
of his gun to try the strength Of the ice, the
weapon was discharged. the charge entering
his neck under the chin and ranging back

For the information and benefit of those
who were not forehandec enough to secure
appointments as Notaries Public while the
Legislature was In session, 1t Is stated th at
IL will be of no use 10 apply for such posi-
tons until the next session, Governor Cros-
by having decided, by the advice Of the At
torney. General and Chief Justice Wade, that
under the present law be has no authority TO
make such appointments during the interva!
between the legislative sessions.-Herdtd.
This is different view Of the law from
that taken by the House judiciary Commit
tee who had under consideration an amend
ment empowering the Governor to make such
appointments between sessions, and, we are
informed, concluded such authority was con-
veyed by the present law. Governor Potts
appointed between sessions under the old
law and the validity Of such appointments
was never TO our knowledge, questioned. II
Is extremely unfortunate that this defect, II
defect there is, was not determined and Gov
ernor Crosby's decision made known prior
TO the adjournment. There were but few
Notaries nominated and confirmed at the re-
cent session, and very many commissions
will expire within year. It also raises the
question of the validity Of the acts Of ell No.
taries commissioned since February. 1881,
where nominations were not sent In and
confirmed by the Thirteenth session. It Is
frequently matter Of great public cenven-
fence that Notaries should be commissioned
between sessions and ''some one has blum
dered" II this cannot legally be done.

BY THE new postal law the rate on letters
which has heretofore been three cents is re-
duced to two cents, the law to take effect in
October We do not know that the result
will be materially for the benefit of new
countries like this. 1t will decrease the
revenues of the p. 0. Department for time
and leave q deficit where there is now q sur
plus. The tendency Of Congress and the
Department will then be to rctrench by less
service in the sparSely settled sections. The
reduction is in the interest Of the great bust
ness men that do heavy mailing, but we will
be agreeably disappointed If the reaction
does not fall on the West and South.

A Call From Maine.

During the war Gen. Fitzhugh Lee,
n nephew of the great Confederate
chieitain, was gay-hearted, genial
gentleman, but brave, determined
soldier-a fit companion for his cavalry
chief, Jeb Stuart. He was, though
temperate and dignified, exceedingly
fond of fun and the ladies. Since the
establishment of peace, General Ice
has delivered several speeches through
out the South which have been con
spicuous for sound judgment, concilin-
tory spirit, strict truthfulness OF state
ment, and eloquencc Of expression.
Though a most ardent advocate of the
Southern cause land more righteous
one good and brave men never fought
and bled for in the worlds history -
when the armies of the South had been
overwhelmed, he gracefully accepted
the situation and ceased TO fight with
sword, or tongue, or pen. And then
he showed his sense. The people
away up in Maine have AN apprccia-
ton of such man as Fitz Lee, and he
has been invited by the Grand Army
of the Republic, of the Bangor Post,
which embraces large number OF
old federal soldiers, TO deliver before
them and the citizens of Bangor his
lecture on the battle of Charlottesville,
which recently met with great success
in the Southern cities. Those sending
the invitations assure General Lee
that the ex-federal soldiers will be
pleased to hear his description OF the
battle of Chancellorville, and that
"they will be prepared to accept its
TRUTH for the deeds of valor performed
on either side during the war have
now become the property of the ma
ton. Gea. Lee is further assured that
the invitation To address the old sol
diers Of Maine is offered in good faith,
and has no Interior political object
whatever, hence he will not be ex-
pscted to arrange his speech or lecture
TO suit New England fancies, but
to say whatever he thinks proper
and right. General Fitz has re-
sbonded Ia the invitation in the
same frank spirit that, while il is out
of his power 20 accept the invitation
at this time, it will give him pleasure
To do so ut some. future day.
The liberal and generous spirit
shown by the Bangor eX-Fcderdl sol
diers commands the respect and admi-
ration of all right-thinking men; and
they could not have pitched upon a
more worthy, considerable, and able
exponent of the Southern cause than
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, OF one who will
describe with more rigid faithfulness
and strict adherence to truth the en-
gagements in which he was a promi-
nent actor. He Is worthy relative of
the man who lowered, according to
universal acclaim, above all other
leaders who figured Oh either side
during the war.
