1t win be seen that the railway mileage
was increased during the year in every
State except the little, finished
commonwealth Of New Hampshire and
Rhode Island, and the inhospitable
mountain land OF Nevada, and in every
Territory except the Indian country, which
is still strangely sealed by legislation
against tho inroads Of civilization, and
Wyoming. whose mountain wastes offer
few inducements to the railway builder.
The States and Territories showing the
greatest addition to their mileage are Iowa
and Minnesota. each 279 miles; Dakota,
269; Pennsylvania, 252; Mississippi, 246;
Wisconsin, 224; and Oregon, 2l8. In the
others the increase runs from 4 TO leo
miles. The number Of lines reported is
1856. against 257 last year, and the average
extension is only . little over 20 miles to
each road

figure may possibly be reached by final re-
turns. This is about 3,CsO miles less than
that laid in 1883, and about 600 miles less
than the total reached in the wonderful year

Paint Her Red.

A comical incident in the Illinois senatorial
contest transpired at Watseka, Ills, yesterday.
Major Peters, editor of the Republican of that
ture from Iroauois county, when assured of Lo-
gan's election, telegraphed the boys from Spring
field:
Logan is elected Paint my old home red "
He meant Of course, for them to hold jollf-
cation in Watseka but the boys took him at his
word, and showing the message to Mrs. Peters,
gained her consent, and forthwith the entire
male population turned out and procuring the
brightest red paint imaginable painted the house
barn and outhouses scarlet-roof, chimney and
all, not sparing even the fences and tree-trunks.
When the Major heard of the affair this morn
ing he was the maddest man in the Nation, not
withstanding Logar's election.

Jewish Opinion of the Revision.

JtWI5h messenger.
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 we are now to have the result of
their joint labors The object of making this
revision, or new translation, appears to be to
obtain closer aud more exact rendering of the
original, and incidentally to modernize the book
by the substitution of modern words for some
which have become obsolete since the version
now In use was prepared some two hundred and
fifty years ago. 1t is stated that the revisers
have examined carefully every sentence of the
book, with the view of correcting errors of
translation. and that, in order to insure
perfect accuracy, they have diligently compared
several of the most ancient copies in existence
Emphasis has been given 70 the fact that the

Dan VOORHEES, says that he appeared once in a
lawsuit in which one of the chief witnesses on
the other side was the mother of Senator Booth,
of California. In his free and easy way the
Tall Sycamore asked harassing questions, but
not the slightest sign of attention came from
the woman. He became impatient and snappv.
Finally he demanded, in his oratorical way,
whether or not he was going to be answered at
all. Then, with smile, she turned to the
lawyer of her friends and asked, with seeming
innocence, 'Must really say anything to a

Voorhees, and shuddered. The counsel advised
her to be brave and answer the questions of his
Wabash friend. 'Then I'll do it with my eyes
