A Welsh Reunion.

The hostelry of Mrs. Parry, south of
the track, known rs the Montana
house, was full of animation last even
ing, occasioned by a Welsh reunion.
Mrs. Parry is herself from Wales, and
it is proper that the reunion should be

pile OF our city, localities east and west
we're represented, and nearly a hundred
men, women and children were gather
ed together. Among the guests we're
Secretary Morgan and Hon. Mr.. Jones,
speaker of the house.

ECCENTRIC BIBLES.
Quaint Passages Which Some of the Old Editions
Contained.
London Qaeen.l

vi
Although everybody knows that there are
in existence certain editions of Bibles which
are much priced by bibliomaniacs on account
of some ridiculous printers blunder, few people
perhaps are aware how many of these editions
there are. The most widely known are the
Rreeches and the Vinegar Bibles The former
is so called because III the Geneva version of
Genesis ill.,, z, Adam and Eve are spoken of as
making themselves bIeeehes out of fig leaves.
This translation ofIthei Scriptures, which was
done by the English exiles at Geneva, served
as the regular family Bible in the reign Of
Queen Elizabeth until it was superseded by the
authorized version of james /. The Vinegar
Bible was so named from the headline of the
Goth chapter of St. Luke, which reads az The
Parable of the Vinegar" instead of the
vineyard" The date Of fhis was 1717. In ad-
dition, however, to these well-known examples
there are Others quite as singular. The Place
makers Bible obtained its name from typo
graphical error which occurs in Matthew ", 9,
viz, Blessed are the placemakers," instead of
peacemakers."
The politicians of the present day would
probably not have objected to the use of the
former benediction. Tie Treacle Bible, printed
1856, had passage in Jeremiah viii q, which
read, :" Is there no treacle in Gilead," instead
of " Is there no BALM" The He and She Bible
was so called from very slight mistake that
occurred in Ruth ill.,, -, when instead of she
went into the city," it was printed "he went"
The Wicked Bible, printed 1881 was rather an
expensive one to the printer, who was fined
G300 because from malice or carelessness, the
negative was left out of the seventh command
ment Exodus Xxx. ID.
The Murderers' Bible was mistake of the
present century, and was so called from an
error in the 10th verse of the Epistle of Jude,
making it to read, "There are murderers,
complainers," instead of "murmurers." The
Printers Bible, issued in 1702, contained an abb
surd misstatement of David in the 119th Psalm,
", I61, in which he was pathetically made to
say that printers prosecuted him without a
cause" instead of "princes.n There would
have been degree of probability about this in
these days of royal authorship, which would
have made such mistake highly amusing

Pensions and Pensioners.

To THE EDITOR: We old broken-down SOL
diers of the late war are tired waiting for JUS
tice. We away out West think that the Gov
ernment had better give the broken-down sol
diers the money that the Government is paying
men to go over the United States TO see if they
can find an imposter. The Government did
not ask whether we were men of good eharac-
ter when we were asked TO enlist TO help put
down the rebellion; but, now we are broken
down by exposure and sickness, and we ask the
Government for assistance to keep Us from go
ing to the poor-house, we are looked upon as
beggaTs and drones and swindlers and then
the Government sends out men all over the
United States TO see if they cannot find some
ready TO swear we are not entitled TO pension.
Now, don't you see, if the Government would
give money to the soldiers it would be far bet
ter. The soldiers are as honorable, as a mass,
as any other class of people are. We are proud
of our TRIBUNE and the bold stand it takes in
defense OF the old soldiers.-M. E. CooNs, Adel,
