 Your Wilmington correspondent cal Is upon me to ''give us the authority for his rendition of the word Christianos in Acts xxi, 28, in contribution of his in the Religious Herald of July 2d." In anwer to this, would say that. for the reason that the Herald did not publish the article contributed as I am quite sure wrote it, but changed one word in two or three places, (received version to revised version) thus making muddle of the meaning, and does not see fit to make the corrections suggest and also for the reason that the explanation of the word in question is of mIuOE 1npOTtduC0 HI tuS TcUU0El6S or the passage, do not care to say anything further on the subject. If the Herald will republish nay llttIe article, corrected as wish, will attend to the request of your correspondent. The best rendering of that passage have ever seen is ''In short, Paul, you are persuading me to become 3 christian" and it is quite probable that admiration of Paul, in spite of his being g christian, was the only thing which pre- vented Agrippa from resenting the attempt to make convert of him. It is evident on the face of the passage that the word christian is not used as term of respect. Paul he admired for his lofty bearing and eloquence in defending himself but the attempt to make him proselyte Agripps did not admire. In another place in Acts it is said, sThe disciples were first called christians in Antioch" Like Puritan and l Methodist, it was not self-chosen name The revised version has spoiled vas number of sermons on this text, and per haps some false theology.

sociates. The remains were taken to Col chester for burial We can best express the feelings of all who knew him by giv- ing the following abstract of portion of Rev. MT. Hawley' remarks at the funeral ::
 We are now attending the funeral of a man we'll known to this entire community by yir- tue of his long time citizenship, and by the natural personal association incident to his profession. That profession has been subject to more or less criticism for it's methods of management with which here and now have nothing to do. But for Mr.. Davison it may be said-That in his professional work he was peacemaker, advising settlement rather than litigation, and yet, when pressed into service, OF conducting the case because he believed in it, he laboriously and faithfully employed all legitimate means to assure success. Thus he was ever loyal to the interests of his client His was 8 profession where friends are made and usually too, not a few enemies, but in re. gard to him I hear but one voice, and that one of commendation. Of his kindliness as s man and neighbor word must be said, fol not few may testify of his sympathy, encour agement and help. And here am constrain ed to offer my personal tribute of regard il view of the tangible evidence of friendship evinced by him toward me. do not speal of him as perfect, but it is but just and tru. of him to say he was, as lawyer and citizen one whom we can lily spare. Our knowledg' of him and his, indicates his home one O peace and enjoyment. Somewhat late in Tiff and after fairly successful battle with hi full share of it's obstacles, hisIquiet home hat come to him with it's comfort, and from whicl after few brief years he has been so sudden ly called. We honor him as citizen, a neighbor, as man, and our tribute of respec is heartily given, and our sympathy goes witt these dear friends bereaved, as they sadt journey to his burial.

From the Eau Claire News;
The c. F. & St. p. Railway.

The efforts making to secure the
construction of a railroad from Free
port, Illinois to the city of st. Paul
have not escaped the attention of Eau
Claire. The proposed line passes
through Mondovi, crosses the Chippe-
wa near Durand and so on to st. Paul
by the most direct route. Right of
way and bonuses are being secured
along the line, and well posted parties
look for the building of the road in
the near future. 1t is supposed that
the Illinois Central railway company
is interested in the project, and the
superstition is very reasonable. From
Freeport the Central has direct con-
nection with Chicago, New Orleans,
Dubuque and other points in western
Iowa. If the company had its line to
st. Paul it could run its trains from
that city to the Gulf OF Mexico with
out change. It would also have a
short and direct through route be-.
tween st. Paul and Chicago, in which
case it could successfully compete
with any of the old roads, The bust
ness men of this city should look after
this matter carefully with the expec.
tation of having conneGtation with
the line when it is built. 1t would
only be necessary to construct about
twenty miles of road over an easy
route to reach the new road at some
feasible point this side of Mondoyi or
Durand. The advantages of through
all rail route to New Orleans can hard
~ be oyer estimated. Our board of
trade should take early action in try
ing to secure the new road.

Getting Even.

A grocer was one day hungrily
waiting for his clerk to return from
dinner, that he, too, might
partake of his aoonday meal, when a
boy came into tie store with basket
in his hand and said: Il seed boy
grab up this ere basket from the door
and run, and ran after him and made
him give it up" MY boy, you are q
good, honest boy" replied the grocer,
''and good boys should always be en-
couraged. In basket in the back
room are eight dozen eggs; you can
take them home TO yonr mother and
keep the basket. The grocer had
been saving up those eggs for weeks
to reward some one. In rewarding a
good boy he alsogot rid of eight dozen
bad eggs, and he chuokled as he walk
ed homeward. The afternoon waned.
night came and went, and once more
the grocer went to dinner. During
his absence the boy returned with the
eggs and sold them to the clerk, thus
getting even with the grocer and
making a good profit of the bad eggs
There is profit IN most things if PEG.
pie will only profit by them. There is
profit in using n. X. Fairbank & Co. s
famous brands of Lakeside" and
"White Star perfumed soaps. They
are the best in the market, being ex-
pressly prepared for the toilet, the
bath and the laundry. All grocers
keep them. ~
