REVISION or TUE OLD TEsrAMENr

REVISION OF THE 0LD TESTAMENT.
The New York Observer, one OF the
best religious and secular papers pub
lished, gives the following remarks
on the revision of the Old Testament:
|. The changes by the Revisers Of
the Old Testament are made with less
frequency and with moro conserva-
tism than by the New Testament re-
visers.
2. The idiom Of the English is pre-
served and violence to good taste is
rarely done, SO that the flavor of the
old version substantially remains in
this.
5. The literal rendering of the orig
inal fails sometimes to convey the
thought Ofthe inspired penman, which
cannot be expressed in one English
word as it is in the Hebrew.
4. It is impossible for the best
scholar to understand why some even
of the few changes yet reported have
been made. They were adopted by
a majority, and they could hardly
have been unanimously sanctioned.
5. As help to the understanding
of obscure passages the Revision will
be Of immense value to every student
of the Word of God, and will be
speedily found in all intelligent Chris
tian households.
6. This completed Revision Of the
Bible has demonstrated that in the
Judgment of large company of the
most learned scholars and divines, not
one doctrine or duty taught in the
Old Bible has been obliterated, or
disparaged by the Revision. And
this result 10 this day Of conflict and
criticism is richly worth all the time
and labor and money expended on
the revision.
I. Therefore these learned and
pious Revisers deserve the gratitude
Of fthe English speaking race for the
diligence. and fidelity with which they
have done their work. Whether or
not they live to see tbe revised
version in common use, they may
now know that they have strengthen
ed the faith Of men in the purity, in
tegrity and divine inspiration Of the
Bible as the Word ofeGod.

A MEETING Of prominent land own
ers was held recently IN London to
concert measures for the gradual
breaking up Of the great estates Of
Great Britain. tits proposed to form
. corporation of moneyed men to buy
land in large tracts, and sell it in lots
not to exceed forty acres, under con
ditions to encourage further subdivis-
ion and prevent aggregation Of title.
The company will sell on credit, pay
ment to be made in iDstalments dur
ing period Of not less than ten years.
The movement is more significant be-
cause it has the support aud encour-
agement of such men as the Duke of
Argyll and the Earl Of Carnarvon.-
Such plan, if put in practical opera
tiOn, viii go far to remedy an abuse
under which the masses of the En-
glish people have suffered from time
immemorlal. The fact that the coun-
try has been parcelled out into vast
estates, owned by few men who
have refused to part with their ances.
tral acres. has done more than any
thing else to discourage industry, and
perpetuate poverty and social disorder
in Great Britain
The CAPITAL has called attention
to the danger Of allowing wealthy En-
glishmen to purchase large tracts of
our public lands and leasing them in
small farms to actual settlers, and we
believe some notice was taken, last
winter, Of the subject in Congress.
We hope the Importance Of the sub
ject viii induce the next Congress to
carefully look into this matter. and
pass such laws as win prevent the
evils Of land tenantage from getting
a foothold in this country. The vast
ness Of our public domain does not
make the danger any the less.

to Mechanicsville, st. Mary's county
and the roadbed has been graded to

tance of another twenty miles, and
