Speaking Of the revised Old Testa-
ment, the Jewish Advocate says:
A large company of Christian
clergymen in this country and another
in England have been engaged for
fifteen years in the preparation of
this book, and w3 are now to have the
result of their joint laborS. The OBJ
ject Of making this revision of trans
Station, appears TO be to obtain closer
and more exact rendering of the
original, and incidentally TO modern
ize the book by the substitution Of
modern words for some which have
become obsoleta since the version now
in use was prepared, some two huNdred
and fifty years ago. 1t is stated that
the reviSors have examined carefully
every sentence of the book with the
view of correcting errors of tranSla-
ton, and that, in order to insure per-
feet accuracy, they have diligently
compared several Of the most ancient
copies in existence. Emphasis has
been given to the fact that the revisers
are not all of one creed, almost every
section of the Protestant wing of the
Christian church being represented.
That provision was wise, for a creed
very stubbornIy held is liable to affect
the impartialty of judges in matter
vitality affecting the basis of creeds.
But it is strange that if accuracy was
the object chiefly desired, no repre-
sentative of the Roman Catholic
church was invited to assist, and still
more remarkable that in translating a
a book the ORIGINAL Of which was
written III Hebrew by Jewish poets
and sneers, no invitation was extend
ed to a Jewish scholar, who surely
might have been expected to have
superior qualifications for the work.

He Wore His Wife's Dress.
Marietta Journal,

We were recently told Of young
man, now living in Pickens county,
who during the late war donned his
wife's dress, kept his face cleanly
shaved, and wore big sunhonnet in
order to keep from being conscripte
and sent to the front. The officers in

The Celebration of 1892.
n. Y. Mail and Express.


The humorous remark of Senator
Evarts, that he intends to be d presi-
dential candidate IN 1892 on the plat
form that Christopher Columbus dis
covered America, is likely to have an
important effect in directing the at
tention Of the nation to the question
Of the proper celebration Of the 400th
anniversary Of the achievement Of
Columbus, and the meeting the other
evening Of the Spaniards and the
Spanish-Americans in New York to
consider that question ought to be the
beginning Of the work Of arranging
for the demonstration. 1t is obvious
that New York is the place III which
the chief celebration should be held,
and the Mail and Express has for
years urged that the greatest Worlds
Fair ever organized be arranged for
1892 IN honor OF Columbus. A site
should be chosen in the proposed
Pelham Bay Park, and perhaps the
name of the discoverer of the New
World might wisely be substituted for
that OF Pelham Bay. As a monument
to Columbus, permanent buildings
should be erected, to be used for the
exhibition of the products of our soil,
manufactures, inventions which have
brought their authors more than S10,-
900 each, and other objects Of interest.
Great geological aad botanical gar
dens should also be established, and

Millions in Timber Culture.
Boston Adve1 tiser

As long as landowners look at the
question of forest preservation Or tree
planting as one Of charity for pros
terity, the great majority of them will
go on cutting down their trees indis~
criminately and refusing to plant.
Discussion on this subject is now,
however, taking a new direction. The
scientists is able to show that larger
returns may be secured by judicious
timber culture than by gold mining
or even wheat growing, save IN ex
ceptional localities.

Plates of Gold.

The throne Of the Empress OF Rus
sia Is completely covered with plates
Of gold, and contains 1, 500 rubies and
5000 turquoises, besides many other
rare and costly gems. The throne of
the Gar, known as the diamond
throne, is truly marvel. It is gen
orally conceded that Russia possesses
more precious stones than any other
nation, a majority of which were pro
cured at the expense of blood, The
jewels ia the Cathedral at Moscow
alone are valued at $12,000,000.

A couple drove up in carriage to
the door Of judge in Terrill county,
Ca, recently and asked to be married
in a hurry. The woman held the lines
while the judge tied the matrimonial
knot. It was a sort Of. bridle-and

4 Jealous WOnan's Plot.

A remarkable story comes from Sa
lem, Mass, about bold scheme TO
which woman of that city resorted
in order to prevent the marriage of a
rival. A lady from New Hampshire
has been in Salem for a week seeking
information as to one George S. Hill
who was said to have been thrown
from a team last winter in Lynn and
10 have died of his injuries five days
later. No one had ever heard of such
a man. Finally a newspaper man was
asked if he remembered the accident.
He produced q note signed by Carrie
Hill an alleged sister of the dead man
which he received at the time but de-
clined to publish, as the handwriting
was the same as that of a bogus mar
riage license previously received. The
lady had letter from a saleswoman
announcing Carries death, and COM
pa rison showed that also to be in the
same hand writing. This led to the dis
c0very OF the following facts: About
a year ago a Salem man named Elliott
was in correspondence with the New
Hampshire lady above referred to. He
proposed marriage and was accepted.
At the sarae time he was attentive to
8 Salem woman who Intercepted some
Of the letters found out how matters
stood and determined to break up the
match. She wrote an anonymous
note to the New Hampshire lady say
ing that Elliott was unworthy and
finally sent by mail to several Salem
papers a fictitious notice of his mar
riage with New Jersey girl. This
he heard of and In some case prevent
ed its publication, but tie notice ap-
peared in the paper and q clipping
was sent to the New Hampshire lady.
Then assuming the name of George
S. Hill the Salem woman began to
to make love to the n. H lady
and finally proposed marriage was ac-
ccpted and the wedding fixed for Jano
uary first. AS the time drew near in
order to prevent the lady coming to
meet her betrothed her fictitious lover
concocted the story that he Cor shel
had been killed by a carriage accl-
dent. She sent an account of the
event to several papers. It appeared
in one paper and q clipping was sent
to New Hampshire IN letter purport-
ing to he written by his only sister,
Carrie Hill, giving the particulars of
his death which, did not, however,
tally with the publishing notice.
Correspondence in the character of the
sister was kept up for a while, when
fearing visit and consequent expos
ure letter was sent signed by the
Salem woman announcing the death
of Carrie. Then the victim of all the
plotting began to realize that some>
thing was wrong. She visited Salem
learned these facts and has gone home
a wiser woman.

Senator Vests Dog.
Memphis Appeal.


II have dog" said Senator Vest,
who had just heard a precocious crow
story, ''who is very sagacious. One
Sunday, while I was living at Sedalia
this dog followed me to church. |
noticed that he watched every move
nent of the preacher. That afternoon
I heard terrible howling of dogs in
my back yard. 7 went out 10 see what
was the matter. My dog was ia the
woodshed, standing on his hind legs
in an old dry goods box. He held
down a torn almanac with one paw,
and gesticulated wildly with the other
while he swayed his head and howled
to an audience of four other dogs,
even more sadly than the preacher [
had heard that morning.

The practice of granting passes to patrons of
railroad in consequence of the freight traffic
given it by them has been the bone of conten-
ton between the passenger and freight depart
ments of such roads for years, and has apparently
had its day. While the agreement adopted two or
three months ago does not fill the bill, as 1t
leaves too many loopholes open for getting
around its provisions, movement is on foot
10 amend the existing agreement so that viola
tons OF its provisions may be severely punished.
The indscriminate use of free passes interferes
greatly with the maintenance Of agreed tariffs,
and, unless strong agreement that can be
forced and will prevent the issue of such passes
by any of the roads is reached, serious trouble is
likely to arise.
