from a new body, which implies a re-
surrection. In the margin are stated
the other and more generally accept
ed views, which consider the vision as
made "without the fiesh''-i. e., in a
diselnbodiod state, and that Job sees

THE PSALMS.
The Psalms are definitely divided
into FIVE books, the last iDur beginning
respectively at Ps. xiii, xiii, xc.. and
evil.
In Ps. viii, 5, man is said *'to have
been made q little lower than God, -
which exactly conforms to the Hebrew.
The authorized version, clover than
the angels" was taken from viii, 5,
and copied by the vulgate and quoted
in Hebrews iii, ~ where they answer
the needs of the writer's argument.
But the quotation in the new transla-
tiGl affords no reason for overlook
ing the strength Of the Hebrew.
Tho use of JEHOVAH Gin place of
LORD) In the flrst verso ana the last
adds to the force and beauty of the
Psalm.
In Psalm tx. the confusion and oh
security of verse are removed by a
version which brings Gods overthrow
of the wicked into marked contrast
with the fact that He sits as King for
ever.
In Psalms x. every verse, except the
first, is more or less changed, with the
effect on the whole of greatly increas-
ing the yividness Of the characteriza-
ton.
In XII, 2, the substitution. of Gin
darkness for ':privily'' is one Of many
instances in which literal version is
more expressive than any paraphrase:
The sixteenth Psalm is greatly i'm
proved, Its general theme is that

PRINTERS INK Is KING.

There is a host of men who boast
OF powder, cotton, steam;
But every hour the mighty powe,
Of printers ink is seen.
1t moves the world as easily
AS does some mighty thing,
And men proclaim in despots' ears
That printers ink is king.
The man of gold, of wealth untold,
Printers ink may scorn,
Or knit his brow, nor deign to bow
10 one SO lowly born;
But printers ink has builtits throne
Where minds that tributes bring,
And Gods most gifted intellects
Shout, printers ink is king.
King of the world of tho't refined,
No AFFECT slave it claims;
Where Superstition's victims pine,
1t bursts their servile chains.
In every cline in coming years,
Will men proud anthems sing,
And round the world echoes float,
That printers ink is king.

Every day shows an increased
attendance at the Exposition, ano
while work still progresses in anG
on the various buildings, grounds
ETC., interest in the success of the
Worlds Great Fair does not slack.
Within the past ten days much has
been done toward completing de-
tails. Of course the formal open
ing was premature, but postpone
ments tend to depress exhibitors
more than anything else, and as
the public expected, even demand
ed it, the management concluded it
was the best to throw her open and
thereby inspire all connected with
the affair to bestir themselves to
get into shape, and give people Wis
ltlng the city an opportunity ofsee-
ing already the greatest show on
earth" Stables for several thou
sand head of blooded stock have
been constructed and : many car
laads are now on the road headed
for this point.
Machinery is getting into place
in the immense cotton and saw-mill
departments; and the art gallery
will be receiving its contents the
first of January, while the Mexican
octagonal iron building will be fin
ished by the middle of January.
Workmen are busy laying the
railway for the electric passenger
train, while the dozen electric tow
ers will shed refulgence over the
whole grounds that will astonish
but please the world of spectators.
Fountains are playing thousands of
cts which are caught by the mild
sephyrs and gently waited in re-
reshlng sprays over the park form
ne beautiful miniature rainbows
~ reflections of the rays of the sun.
Ways and means for reaching the
exposition grounds, which has been
serious question for the manage
nent to solve, is to be remedied by
aging a steam railway to run from
lanai street, which with the street
ar lines and steamboats, on the
lver will probably be adequate to
erve the throngs that will daily
isit the grounds for the next six {
lonths. A very important evil in !

Christmas eve, the three electric
light companies engaged in light
ing the Exposition turned on every
lamp and burner in the building
and on the towers, and such a hall
OF brightness has not been seen
since the Star of Bethlehem arose
in the East, 1854 years ago. 1t
seemed q hundred suns, a thousand
moons, a million stars had sudden
ly blended into a trinity, and that
Heaven itself had bent forward and
smiled down on this wicked world
on this great memorable event of
the 10Th century, the eve of the
birth of our Lord and Savior. The
reflections of the electrics shone for
miles around, and the glass tower
of horticultural hall was particular
ly attractive as it glittered like SO
many diamonds up above the ordi-
nary building. Those who saw
this wonderful sight will never live
long enough to forget it, and those
who didn't see it will never know
what they missed. s.. aa
In music hall of the main build
ing a large Christmas tree was
erected Christmas eve, on which
many a pleasant souvenir was de-
pended for those who took an in
terest in this old-fashioned holiday
pastime.

thus describes a quilt that is to be
exhibited at the Worlds Exposition:
We called at the residence Of Hon.
i VIM. Buchanan yesterday to see a
quilt made by his mother-in-law,
| Mrs. S. p. Gum, who is a sister Of
Col. Ned Richardson, the cotton
King, and President of the Worlds
Cotton Centennial Exposition. Mrs.
Gum is in her list year, and COM
menced work on her guilt the first
of March, and finished the first of
September. For richness of mate-
rial, beauty of design and exquisite
ncedlework we. have never seen
anything to equal it, and for once
we wished we were a woman, that
we might describe it as it deserves
to be described. 1t contains thirty
six squares, and each square is
made up of small pieces of the most
beautiful, elegant and costly silk.
satin, velvet and plush, of different
colors, sizes and shapes. The whole
number of pieces in the tllirty-six
squares aggregate S4S, and it is
hard to find any two alike in color,
shape or size, but all are so inter
woven and arranged as to make it I.
look like a magnificent boqnet Of
exquisite flowers. Scattered among
the flowers are 20 animals, four
birds, twelve butterflies, two grass.
hoppers, three spiders aud webs,
two umbrellas, fifteen fans, and
three crescents, cut out of various
colored plush and velvet, and stitch
ed on, or worked on with silk floss.
Among the animals, which look
very life-like, we noticed a lionan,l
lioness, pair of polar bears, an ell
ephant, a leopard, wolf, four
deers, two elks, three lambs, two
horses, a pig, two cats, two dogs,
Two mice, two chickens, and a lot
If spiders, butterflies, horseshoes,
PRESENTS, umbrellas, fans, and flow
rs Of various kinds, too numerous {

,reen satin, in which is embroider-
ID the initials, S. P. r., the maiden
'ame of Mrs. Gum, and also the p
'ame Of her niece, Miss S. P. Rich
rdson. The whole is surrounded
Nth a blue silk velvet border, put Il
n with very elaborate embroidery, !.
nd then finished off with very rich
ace border. The varieties Of en-
robbery embrace French, South
Aensington, Chenille, Ariceue and ).
'ibbon, and there are $50 varieties

ing of the kind we ever saw, and
Notwithstanding the fact that It was Vas

Refurmed.

Our Mr.. J. w. Bryan returned last
Monday evening by rail from New
Orleans with his family, all well.
They had been down to the city visit
ing the Worlds Exposition. Though
their stay ran through a period of
several weeks and their visits to the
Exposition we're frequent, it was i'm
possible for them to see and take in
everything to the fullest and most
complete extent. The immensely Of
this great Exposition and the daily
increasing additions to the things to
be seen, precluded any such posi-
bility Every visit brought to light
something new and interesting, and
our conclusion is that this Exposition
is one which all should go and see,
because, without doubt or exaggera-
ton, it is the grandest wonder that
has ever been seen on earth and that
will ever be seen during the lifetime
of this generation.

Editor Lake Charles Echo:
We have read with much interest
your articles entitled "Calcasieu as
She Is" and consider them merely az
glass through which the inquiring
mind may behold aud comprehend,
not only the beauties and excellencies
Of Southwest Louisiana, but they also
convey a definite idea of the character
and magnitude of the great natural
and undeveIoped resources by which it
is characterized. When we take into
consideration the quantity of honora-
bic and diversified pursuits which, with
reasonable share of energy and skill,
would yield source of revenue to the
individual, that it would certainly
astonish the ineredulous. Therefore,
in view of the fact, we certainly fail
TO comprehend the necessity for the
shadow of gloom which seems TO en-
yelope and threaten the future Of 30
many 10 our parish. While it is true
that we are laboring under financial
depression, the cause Of which we fail
to recognize, but the effects of which
has initiated against the interests of
the laboring class, in that it has caused
SO many industries which afforded
lucrative employment to SO many, to
suspend operations, for at least sea
son. And now away with the vain,
deIusiVe hope of ever obtaining even
respctibIe living by brOodipg over
our troubles and misfortunes, and come
together, one and all, and by an an
compromising and determined effort,
resolve to make the year 1885 as fruit
fuI TO our present and eternal interest,
as our mental and physical qualifca-
lions will admit. J. MS.

to the effect that the evidence of an
eloPement from Beaumont, Texas,
came to the surface in our town last
Monday morning. The husband call

principal hotels, took his fve-yesr-old
little girl from her, let the Maynard

with her new-found lover, and return

like any sensible man would have
done under the circumstances.
