THE Athen9um says that heroes OF
American novels are prigs. Perhaps it
arises from the fact that no other young
man in an English novel has had more in
fuence on young writer's of fiction in this
country than Henry EsmOnd, whom
Thackeray himself regarded as prig.
PROF. HUXLEY, on hearing recently
that there were many new houses in the
best parts OF London which had no con-
nection with the main sewers, remarked
that he hoped the London Sanitary PrOtec-
tive Association might soon obtain pow
ers from Parliament to hang few build
ers.
IN Pike county, Pa, there is a revolu-
tionary brass cannon 300 years old.
Thirty-tive years ago il was left in charge
Of six prominent Democrats on condition

ACCORDING to the Rev. DIR. Crosby, OF

The Eastern Middle.

France is ambitious to corner China.
Let alone, the two would get up a very
pretty war. But Germany is feared, and
England too. France hesitates before
complications. Advance is perilOus. Re-
treat is disgrace. How much the human
system is like an Empire. Always am
bilious: always hampered. 1t would go
straight ahead on its mission, but is con-
stantly pulled back and down by compli-
cations. Some systems are NapOleons
and 20 ahead without stopping. But most
systems must have their complications cut
before they can venture far or act boldly.
They must be protected and pioneered.
This is the mission of Perry Davis Pain
Killer. With 1t in ones pocket, ready for
use, system needn't fear TO march
through summer heat, malarlous swamp,
rheumatic moisture, or cholera infested
district. With it in the household family
can keep at bay a whole Zulu tribe Of
summer complaints.

The Defect of1be New Yersion

In the October Century, Professor
George +. Fisher, Of Yale, writes forciblv
Of Martin Luther, aEter Four Hundred
Years." and compares the new version
with Luther's translation Of the Bible. to
the detriment of the new, as follows: He
was determined to issue not a cOlorless
version, or a version enerYated by lido
matte peculiarities Of the Hebrew and the
Greek, or a pedantic version, Ineligible
and interesting only to the cultivated, but
rather translation which should make
the Bible appear to have been written in
German. He gives amusing accounts
of the struggles it cost. him to
make the sacred writers speak Ger
man. In dealing with job, especially.
his patience was well-nigh exhausted.
No one could understand what it had cost
him to make Job 'reden DeutSch.' But
he succeeded. In his version the apostles
and prophets 'Teden DeHtSch-the Deutsch
of the shop, the market and the hearth
stone. Luther's Bible is a living book.
If the recent English revision of the au-
thOrized version, admirable in various
particulars, fails at any point. it is lust
here. There is a lack of freedom in the
incorporation Of English idioms: in a
word, there is an undue servility. So far
as translation fails to give the
force and beauty Of the original,
it is incorrect. Close adhesion to grammar
and lexicon. in many instances, NAV be
the cause Of greater loss than gain. We
must have the spirit as well as the letter
Of the text. If we cannot have both, then
better the spirit than the letter. Our re-
cent revisers make the frightened disci-
pies who saw Jesus walking on the sea
cry out, 1t is an apparition.' Matt. xiv.

In state of alarm, use this word: If
not, some other should have been substi
tuted for it. The juicy language of Luz

idioms, and the rhythmical charm which
1t has in common with the authorized En-
glish version, are literary merits which it
is impossible to estimate too highly"
