An Ancient Grave.

Antiquarian" writes as follows in the
Bath Times:
The newspapers have noticed the late find
of sheli-heaps. on Falmouth foreside. Evil
dence of their ancient formation is found in
the fact that trees of three feet diameter, are
growing above them.
On the Woolwich shore of Nequasset bay,
plainly to be observed from the Boothbay
steamers as they have passed the curve in
the channel near the Woolwich side, and go
southwark towards the second curve by the
Arrowsic shore,--is an oak, standing alone
n small plat of ground partially enclosed
by lateral angle of the fence This tree
marks the site of an old burying-plaee.
Rough common stones projecting few inch
es from the soil mark the graves, some doz-
en- or more. This oak stands upon one evil
IDENTIFY the grave of an adult, as the stones
mark even more than the usual length This
oak is thirty inches in diameter near the
ground. Its branches also indicate old age
in the beginning of decay. Yet probably 125
or $50 years will cover the life of this tree.
How much older the grave is will be purely
conjectured. Two were opened some years
since, and only the merest traces of human
remains, and fragments of the coffin and
nails were found. The supposition of some
had been that they were Indian graves. The
remains found however indicated the resting
place of white men. They can be referred to
the first settlers of the second settlement, or
from 1880 to 1850, just previous to the selec-
ton of the churchyard at NequaSset. Or II
any demands higher antiquity, to meet the
demands of the old oak. then they can be as
signed to the people of the former settle
ment, or from 1860 to 1858. The latter date
is sufficient.

CHINESE RESTRICTIONS.

The New York Herald editorially has
the following to say: The report Of the
Canadian Commissioners on the Chinese
problem shows that these gentlemen ap.
preached the subject in more philosophic
and statesmanlike manner than those Of
our countrymen officially appointed to
make similar investigation. The Canadian
Commissioners remark that those who
object to the Chinese do not object to ltal-
ians, or even to Japanese, or it they object
to these two, they do so, not on any large
public grounds, but because OF some inter-
ference which they experience in their per.
sonal affairs. Of such race antagonism
government should not take notice. Either
immigration should be free to all, or, pro.
hibited or restricted, the restrictions should
be based on broad, general principles, APP
plicable to all immigrants, no matter from
what country they may come. 1t is un.
certain whether Canadian legislation will
be framed in accordance with the report Of
the Commissioners or controlled BY the
opinions Of those representing
the dominant party in British Columbia.

other country under the sun. The season

climate unsurpassed for health and com.

finest scenery on the continent, with good
hunting and fishing. In speaking Of the
attractions tourists will find in Montana
the H"sbamdmam says that there are few
countries that have greater diversity Of
scenery and that are more delightful to the
traveller than Montana-yet Of all that has
been said Of her attractions, wealth Of
bunch grass and mines, agriculture, water
power, soil, climate--but little has been
said of her scenery, her magnificent ranges,
lofty peaks, and wonderfully diversified
landscapes, foaming cataracts, roaring wat.
erfalls and magnificent rivers. These
really excel most Of the mountain regions
OF the world, but tor lack OF advertising

THE REVISED BIBLE,

People who have built their exclusive
hope Of salvation exclusively on the old
edition of the Old Testament are shocked,
more or less, at the new or revised edition.
The new revision may be the more correct
but 1t will take Christians some time to
get the hang of it. No copies Of the new
version have reached this section Of the
world yet, but from the criticisms Of
the press it is evident that already fault is
being found with the new or revised edi.
ton of the Old Testament which has been
recently issued. 1t is shown that the re-.
vised version in many respects departs
from the King James version, with which
the civilized world is familiar, or at least we
Anglo. Americans are. One reviewer Of
the new version claims that while it does
not greatly differ from the old one, it will
unsettle the faith of many millions who
have hung their souls salvation upon the
King James Bible. We do not think it
will, as the great majority who reverence
the Bible reverence and accept it upon au.
thority, and not from their own investiga.
ton Of It, Catholics will not be troubled
with the new version. The Catholic
Church construes the Bible for all its mem.
bers, and the text is always in Latin, gen.
orally accompanied with translation in
the vernacula- Of the country where it is
used. Thus it will he seen that with
standard text in an nnvarying language, a
priesthood to construe and Pope and
College Of Cardinals to say es cafhettru
what is the Word of God, there can be no
such dilemma as the one into which the
Protestant world is thrown every time a
change OF phraseology is adopted by re.
vision. The fear that many will lose their
faith through change, and their hope and
belief, is still no good reason why the
erroneous translations should not be cor.
rected, for the faith, the hope and the be.
lief which are built upon that old transla.
ton are likewise erroneous and must be as
house built upon the sand. Some of
the changes will seem awkward for while
at least. The shell" Of the Old Testament
is wiped out Of all the poetical books; but
is retained with "all the significance of its
original meaning in the book of Isaiah"
The revisers call the bad place "sheol"
instead Of "hell," and a semi.religious CO.
temporary gravely observes that if one
more lot of revisers had a crack at shell"
they would call it 1.-THE skating rink" We
have been taught to point the finger Of
warning at all evil doers and say: "The
way Of transgressors is hard" 1t is now
rendered in the revised edition thus "The
way Of the treacherous is ragged" But of
all the regretted changes in the Old Testa.
ment is the changing Of "All is vanity and
vexation Of spirit" into IAN is vanity and
striving after wind" The last deal at Bi.
bic revision has wiped out the old, familiar
favorite, and that is "vexation Of spirit"
worse than ''striving after wind"
