Religious,

Three and a half years ago a census
was taken of Protestant missions In
India in order to see exactly what pro-
gress was being made, and that show
ed that in India alone at the end of
1881 the native Christian Protestant
community numbered 417,373, of
whom 1895 were comunieants. 46I
native ordained ministers, and 9, 48e
lay preachers or catechists. The most
remarkable and encouraging fact dis
closed by that census was the decen-
NAL rate of progress during the last
three decades. The rate of progress
from 1851 to 1861 YVES about So per
cent; from 1861 to 1871 it rose to 81
per cent, and from 1871 to 1881 sc per
cent.
In its criticism on the revised Bible
the United Presbyterian says: "The
revisers adopted the middle ground,
which was the safest, aud doing no
needless violence to the Old literary
form, sought to put the Bibls in such
language as would be least cfft nsive
and would be easiest understood.
Expressions that were harsh have
been modified. Wornout words have
been replaced by others that are in
common use. Mistranslations have
been corrected. Prose has been print
ed as prose, and poetry as poetry.
Other changes have been made, none

OF them radical, but all under the idea
accepted at the outstart, of changing
as little as possible consistent with
the plan of making the Bible plain
and intelligent to the people,"
In an editorial on "The Indian Prob.
lem" the Presbyterian asks: what
is the verdict that comes from both
Hampton and Carlisle, and it is borne
out by missionary testimony? If we
bring them to the East they can be
taught trades and fitted for business
of various kinds. They win go hame,
II they desire to go, to establish COM
munitieS which will be an immense
advance upon any thing we have yet
accomplished for the Indian. But let
this educational work be undertaken
by the church. The Indians should
have Christian education. If the

would heartily undertake such work

The sales of the Revised Old Tesla
ment do not equal the sales of the Re
V1sed New Testament, but the book
sellers think there will be steadier
demand for the former. The first day s
sales, it is reported, amounted to 1OO,-.
600 copies, about one seventh of the
sale ot The New Testament. So far
the copies sold Lave been those issued
by the English universities through

prints have been issued, but they will

DUNG THEIR DUTY


Ex-Speaker Carlisle has been spend
ing some time in Washington. On
his return to his home in Kentucky,
he gave public expression to his views
regarding President Cleveland and his
administration. Mr.. Carlisle said:
l am satisfied that Mr.. Cleveland
and the heads of the various depart
ments are doing the very best they
can under the circumstances. and
that they are entitled to the support
and confidence of their political
friends throughout the country. The
President is sensible, honest and pa
triotic man, whose highest ambition
is to discharge his official duties in
strict accordance with the constitution
and laws, and for the promotion Of the
public welware.
He is careful and conscientious
about everything he undertakes, and
II he commits any mistakes in Gaki2g
appointments or otherwise, they will,
in my opinion, be due to the fact that
he is not able in every instance to pro-
cure correct information concerning
the matters upon which he is COMPEL
ed to act. He works hald, listens pa
tiently to the statements and the sug-
gestlons. OF others, and then he decides
according to his own Judgment as to
what is right and proper under the
circumstances. The amount of work
he performs is remarkable. He is in
his Office from early in the morning
until late In the afternoon, and nearly
every evening he is engaged for sew
eral hours with some member OF the
Cabinet, examining papers and discuss
ing questions connected with the bus
mess of the departments.
l mention this merely to show the
injustice of the complaints which
have been made in some quarters on
the ground that the administration is
moving too slowly. 1t is physically
impossible for the President and his
Cabinet to do more than they are do
ing. People who think that the en-
tire body of officers and employees who
have charge of these vast interests
and who are familiar with them can
be suddenly changed without detri-
ment to the public service, are, in my
opinion, very much mistaken, and
therefore, think the administration
has so far acted wisely in respect to
this subject. But this does not
mean that the party which
has received the Endorsement OF
the people shall not control the Coy
eminent. 1t means, simply, as 1
understand it, that hasty and incon-
siderate action will be avoided as far
as possible, and that due care and
caution will be exercised in determin-
ing the times and the places in which
changes can be properly made
President Cleveland is solid with
the people, and, every time disap-
pointed office-holder or his friends
howl, they feel more assured than
ever that the public servants at Wash
ngton are doing their duty.

DISASTER ON THE B,RAZOs.

1t is learned from trustworthy
sources that the condition of the over
lowed farms and plantations in the
Brazos "bottom" from Waco to the
coast, is deplorable. Here is some of
the richest soil on the earth, and, had
it not been for the recent overflow,
the crops all along the river would
have been more than could be gath
ered-corn would have made forty to
seyenty=iye bushels to the acre, and
cotton two bales. AS 1t is the corn
crop in the Brazos valley is simply
ruined. Cotton will be replanted and,
If there is good season, a light crop
may be expected. The negroes, it is
said, worked splendidly before this
flood, but now when they see their
labor thrown away, they as well as the
white farmers on the riverssare
demoralized, and have but little
heart to 60 to work in
the hot season with anything like
vim to retrieve the disaster-tor dis
aster it is-A gentleman--a farmer
and county officer of Waller County,
who is running two farms in the
Brazos valley, stated a day or two ago
that the specials sent out to the news
papers saying there was not much
damage, were simply bogus and I'M
true. He says these reports are sent
under the influence of country mer-
chants along the river who are in debt
to Galveston wholesale men, and do not
want confidence in their prospects
shaken. The disaster is great calami
ty, but may be partially retrieved as
to cotton. But it is too late for corn
