THE OLD TESTAMENT REVISION.
Where the Work of the Latest Revisers Seem
to Fail-What Was Needed.

Where the Work Of the Latest Revisers Seem
to Fail-What Was Needed.
From the Philadelphia American.
So far as we have the means of Judging,
this revision of the Old Testament fails just
where that of the New Testament did. 1t
departs needlessly and deplorably from the
standard of English established i'm 1911. 1t
breaks tho rhythm of the old version as well.
This is not wonderful. There is not single
master of tho English style among the theo-
logicians Oh either of the revision
committees ON either side of the Allan
tic. The only man of this kind who OBJ
tanned place ON the Old Testament was
Bishop Thirlwall, i'm England and he
died az long ago as 1875. Dean
Stanley was the only one on the New
Testament committee, and he died long be-
fore the work was finishe DIR. Krauth, on
tho Old Testament committee i'm America
came the nearest 10 meeting this want but
he, too, died before the work was finally
revised. The other gentlemen of both COM
mittees are men of sound Greek and Hebrew
scholarship; but they are not the men into
whose hands venerable English classic
could be given with confidence. As
Spurgeon said TO the revisers of the Old
Testament, "they may know Greek, but they
don't know English"
clearer insight into tho meaning of tho origi-
nal, and its connection of thought Its rear
rangement of the book In paragraphs instead
of verses, and its printing Hebrew poetry i'm
are obvious improvements. But
these things we have had already-in Samuel
Sharpe's excellent revision, for instance.
What was wanted was TO have this done and
get the character of the Bible as an English
classic OF the Elizabethan era preserved for

What lie Said.

The lNTELLIGENCER, aprOpOS of Gen.
Beavers remark that he couldn't stand an
ex-Confederate brigadier in an American
consulate, recalled the fact that Beaver in his
famous speech to the Confederates at Car
Isle, said +" that he hardly knew which side
in the war was right, and had he been
South he would have worn the gray"
Whercupon the Harrisburg Telegraph pro-
nounces the statement bold lie," and
proceeds TO oexplain what Beaver did say on
the occasion referred to; and it adds "of
course the lNTELLIGENCER will not make
the correction"
We take pleasure in Disappointing our
esteemed contemporary. Having quoted
Gen. Beavers remarks from memory, we
correct the quotation to what the Telegraph
| now indicates that he said. Here it is:
"You have right TO say and you ought to
| say, that you believed you were ,iFat In the
cause you espoused. Warmly as we felt on
our side, profoundlyas we were moved by
the conviction that our cause was right and
| Just, hGr5-iio doubt that If educated as yOu
| hqESteen, tiued there as you had, and i1iftt
T enced as you Were, ace should hare had ht
| same feelings and conDtctions."
AS this is a complete justification of the
Confederate soldiers, and an acknowledge
ment that had he been South he would
have worn the gray, we frankly apologize
TO Beaver for not having quoted him al
strongly as he spoke. We had really for
gotten that he went 80 far in his defens,
of and tribute to the 4" Boys i'm Gray"

The Rise In Butter.

The people of Lancaster who paid five
cents a pound more for butter to-day than
on last market day do not, as rule, per-
haps know that since then it has been
made "A criminal Offense to manufacture or

who makes or sells it or keeps it in his pos

THE death of ex-Secretary Frelinghuysen
a few days ago recalls the story of the early
Frelinghuysen ancestry The Frelinghuy-
sens We're of old Holland stock, and one of
their progeDitors, Dominic Frelinghuysen,
looked after the spiritual welfare of the
Dutch colonists who had become the first
families of Albany. lie seems to have been
very ascetical i'm his religious notions and in
1855 or thereabouts he was wont to declaim
in very vigorous style from his pulpit against
''amateur theatricals' I'm which the young peo-
pie varied the dull routine of the colonial days.
On the day following the delivery of one of
his most spirited sermons against this pre-
sumed evil, a club, a pair of old shoes, crust
of black bread and dollar were left in his
doorway, and on his asking what they meant
they Were interpreted TO him as suggesting
that he had better go away; that the stick
was to push him off, the shoes were to wear
on the road, and the bread and money were
provision for the journey. This was a
severe blow to the pride of the clergyman
and he brooded over the thoughtless act
until it assumed the proportions of NAM
moth insult One day without warning he
started for Holland his congregation firmly
believing that he would soon return. Months
aiterward ii was learned that he dropped
over the ships side into mid-ocean and 1t
never was clear whether it occurred by acci-
dent or intention. The incident is more than
a hundred years old, but as a lesson to those
who thoughtlessly wound the feelings of
persons the moral of the story
should be ever young.

New Tanning Bark.

The tannekaya bark, which comes
from New Zealand, and is q new agent
in tanning, is one of the novelties Of
commerce.. This discovery is very
recent, In 1873 the whole export from
New Zealand was fifteen tons, but last
wear it was 375 tons. The greater part
Of the export is taken to Grenoble,
France, where it is used in dressing
leather for gloves. The price of this
bark in it's native country is $40 per
ton. and the freight is as much more.
Hence it has been proposed to make
the tree one of our own products, since
the bark has at times been worth $3.50
per ton. 1t contains 28.6 Sc per cent. OF
tannin, whereas oak bark contains only
$50 and hemlock 9.5. The tannekaya
tree is very beautiful, and, as its timber
is very useful, it has every point OF
value. Being of the fir species, it is
we'll adapted to the light soil of the
South, and might do much to enrich
that part of the Union.

New Uses for Paper.

Boston Advertiser: A company in
New Jersey is making paper counter
panes and pillow-shams. Number one
MANILA paper is used, two large sheets
being held together by small Irvine at
intervals of three or four inches, gummed
so as to stick the sheets together where
the Irvine lies. The Irvine strengthens
the paper. The margin of the counter
pane has a hem, in which is more Of
the Irvine to keep it from tearing.
Beautiful designs are printed on the up
per surface of the Counterpart and pill
low-shams, which make a very neat ap-
pearance. When they become wrinkled
they can be made smooth by hot fiat
irons. They retail at 70 cents a set.
The counterpane can be left on the bed
when it is occupied, if so desired, and
in cold weather it will be found a very
neat and warm article of bed clothing,
since the paper viii prevent the es-
cape of heat about as we'll as a wooden

The United States Supreme Court has

The United States Supreme Court has
Just disposed of the Important question
involved in certain insurance cases APP
pealed from Virginia by holding that
the issue was not one under the Federal
laws, and therefore tho court had no
jurisdiction in the matter. The effect
OF this ruling is to render final the de-
clsion OF the highest court of Virginia,
which held that the insurance compan-
les are not liable for insurance on prop
erty burned when Richmond was cap
tured by the Federal troops in 1865, for
the reason that they were exempted
from the payment of such losses by ex-
press clauses in their policies.
