A SHOWER OF BIRDs.-A terrible rain
and wind orm swept over Central Mis-
sissippi on the night of the I'd instant 1t
came from northwesterly direction and
lasted several hours, blowing down
fences and outhouses, and in some places
washed up corn and other seeds that had
been recently planted. The next morn.
ing at Canton and vicinity a number of
strange birds were found lying or sitting
on the ground, some of them dead and
others crippled from being hurled against
trees, houses and other obstacles. Again,
others were found apparently uninjured,
although they seemed unable or indis.
posed to fly any considerable distance.
Upward Of one hundred of these birds
have been picked up and as they are en-
tire strangers to the locality the supposi.
ton is that they were caught up on the
sea coast by the wind and waited this
way. They are certainly species Of sea
fowl and resemble the penguin. They
are about the size of the teal duck, have
a head like the game chicken and bill
like the crow. Their legs are short and
web.footed; their wings are also short.
The feathers on the neck and back are
dark green, while those on the breast are
bright silvery gray The birds have no
tails and the live ones were found either
sitting up or waddling and made no ef-
fort to fy.-[St. Louis Globe. Democrat.

The work of revising the New and
Old Testament was first undertaken in
1870 by the Church of England. Il was
soon determined to make the revision
mathematician, and in 1871 a com
mIttee of Americans were connected with
the work. The New Testament when
first given to the public had the I'M
mense sale of 100000 copies II four
days. The revised Old Testament will,
however, not be In SO great demand,
though 1 900 900 copies have already been
ordered IN London. The nature of the
changes were indicated In the few quo
tations gwen in Saturdays News. The
general opinion il that there is little or
no improvement oyer the King James
version. The plain English styles has
evidently made inroads on the sacred
biblical expression and We doubt If the
Sunday school pupil who has learned to
say swine is q mocker, strong drink Is
raging" can be easily persuaded to re-
peat the same as revised and say "wIne
Is q mocker, strong drink Is a brawler. /"
The Sunday school cards,
with Sunday texts for the
little folks will remain In the language
Of the authorized version, and even
should the ministers and church leaders
adopt the new version, 1t will be a great
many years before the Bible that our
ancestors used will give place TO the new
one, which though the same in substance
is not SO rythmical, and hence not SO
pleasing to the ear. In truth almost any
change CRATES harshly upon the ear OF
the common Bible student, who will be
loath to discard the old one for the new.
Its introduction must necessarily be
slow, and the Bible given to the public
last week will not become the Bible oil
the people until one or two generations
lave passed away.
