that it has been known to cure cases of pal

WILD SHooTING.-Therc was somebody
shooting at the rifle range near the Ameri-
can river last Sunday, who was never cut
out for marksman, and might as well
abandon the idea of ever becoming enough
of a soldier tc spill the blood of an enemy
in battle. He shot so poorly that he missed
| the target, embankment and all, and killed
horse in neighboring field. At least, so
said the owner of TIE beast, Simon
Schmorelaic, who last evening called for
| warrant for the arrest of the whole Ma
tional Guard.
PRISONERS EN- RoUTE.-Deputy Sheriff
NJ. Wilson, of San Francisco came up last
evening, having in charge two prisoners
for Folsom-Chew All Sam, sentenced to
/ eight years Imprisonment for burglary
| in the first degree, and All Win, SEN
| fenced to five years for burglary of the sec
| ond quality. The latter must himself be
of poorer quality than his companion-in-
| trouble, for his chaperone had no instruc-
! tons TO chew" him.
VISITING THE Schools Yesterday the
eminent divine and traveller, Dr. Newman,
paid a visit to the High School in the COM
panv of Directors Slater and Breuner. He
addressed some remarks to the pupils, in
which he spoke of the educational systems
of some of the ancient countries visited
during his travelings, which remarks We're
greatly appreciated by teachers and pupils
alike.
A PEAcE-D IsTURBER.-The effects of cleo
tion-day whisky have notyet entirely worn
off Last night there were quite number
of old DRINKS about the streets and at
an early hour special officer Cantrell arrest
ed one of the crowd, named William Dolan,
who had been raising disturbance at the
Salvation Army headquarters.
ARRRsTs.-There was recorded at the
police station last night the arrest of Billy
McCants, by officer Franks for battering a
Chinaman; also that of Lottie Williams,
by Chief Jackson and officer Arlington, for
vagrancy. Bill Dolan's name was booked
opposite charge of disturbing The peace.

Revision of the Old Testament.

President Chase of Harverford col.
lege, amember of the American commit.
tee on the revision of the Old Testament
states that the revision was made with
the sole object of placing the bible in 8
position in which the people may under.
stand every word as the scholars
understand them, and as the text
stands in the original. To do this
many of the beauties of expression
have been sacrificed in order to give
the true meaning of the original. The
poetical forms and the archaisms viii
be retained to a larger extent than
they were in the New Testament.
President Chase states the psalms are,
as a whole, admirably translated.
Some of the changes follow:
VII:20. "If he turn not he will whei
his sword, :" meaning God, will be, "ii
a man turn not he will whet his sword
WHO. For thou hast made him Q
little lower than the angels" will be.
"thou hast made him a little lower than
God."''I will praise thee, Oh, Lord, us
often translated, Il will give thanks unto
thee, Oh. Lord"
IX:7. But the Lord shall endure
forever, will be, "But the Lord stitch
as king forever"
XI:7. "For the righteous Lord loveth
righteousness his countenance doth be-
hold the upright" will be "for the Lord
is righteous; he loveth righteousness
the upright shall behold his face"
XXXVII:8. Fret not thyself in
any wise to do evil" will be, "fret not
myself. it tendeth to evil doing"
LXVIII: II. "The Lord gave the
word; great was the company of those
that published it," will be, "the Lord
giveth the word, and the women that
bring glad tidings are a great host"
LXXXIV:6 "Who, passing through
the valley of Baca, make it a well; the
rain also illeth the pools" will be
passing through the valley of weeping.
they make it a place of springs"
XCVI:12. "Then shall all the trees o!
the wood rejoice, will be, ''then shall
all the trees of the wood sing for joy
