AND it must be confessed that there is just
ground for such fear. l have an instance be-
fore me of a simple translation from a Ger
man prose work, Prof. Scherers excellent
history OF German literature, lately published
by the Scribners in New York. In ii the
translator, Mrs Conybeare, has not only
missed most of the grace OF the authors
style, but has taken some inexcusable lib
critics with the original, such a. the omission
of entire sentences, and whole specimen quo
tations from German authors. 1t is but just
to say that in this case the absolute historical
value of the work is not affected, but its lite
rary value certainly is 1t is, however, only
a very mild example of unfaithful transla-
tion. worse one is found in the case OF
Xeller's Outlines of Greek Philosophy, a re-
cent publication by Henry Holt Il Co, of
New York. The translator is Miss Alleyne
who has done enough such work to know
how to do il correctly. Yet she in numerous
places not only makes the author say what is
untrue and what he never said, but often
makes him assert the very opposite of what
the original has. Where, for example, Prof
Zeller says of certain philosopher that " of
his Ire we know nothing" the translator
makes him say "of his .soCrrIne nothing is
known tc.us,'' probably carelessly reading
aild Ifanslating the word LcbeH as II it were
LchreH. Again where the original correctly
says that the Sophists expressly declared
their departure from the older philosophy,
the translator makes him declare that " the
Sophists never expressly declared = that
they had broken with the previous philoso-
ply ~! Is it wonder that We, don't trust
translations?

want, however, particularly to call atten-
tion to what is perhaps the most nearly per-
feet specimen existing of translation from one
language into another. Goethe's Faust by
Bayard Taylor, which Houghton, Mihlin,S
Co, of Boston, have just published in a new
and beautiful edition of Goethe's Select
Works in six uniform volumes, comprising
Faust, Wilhelm Meister, Correspondence
with a Child, and Lewes' Story of Goethe's
Life, the most satisfactory edition extant of
German letters SO great are they indeed
that, like Homer, Virgil, Dante and Shake
speare, they really do not belong to any
merely national literature, but to the worlds
literature-to those few works of which II
can be said that acquaintance with them is
essential to everyone making any pretence
to literary culture.
Lancaster daily intelligencer. [volume] (Lancaster, Pa.) 1864-1928, 1886-04-03

THIS is certainly true of Faust. Hence II
il all the more a cause Tor gratitude that we
have so faultless rendering OF tho original
into our tongue AZ this of Bayard Taylor
He was particularly we'll equipped for under
taking this great and peculiarly difficult work
His long residence in Germany, his marriage
with a highly cultured German lady, his
special study for years OF all the literature
bearing on the subject originally with view
to writing a biography Of Schiller and Goethe,
and above all his profound and enthusiastic
sympathy with his subject enabling him tC
enter into its innermost spirit, these made
him absolutely the best translator OF Faust
the world has yet seen, or will probably ever
see.

Our neighbor of the Banner has
actually been making extensive
attempts recently to be funny, and,
it is needless to add that in the
character of n clown he is a most
weird and peculiar curiosity. His
Jokes, although of the musty sec
ond- handed order, are quite anus
ing on account of the frisky man
ner in which he dishes them up,
but as usual he has married the
humor by the exhibition of his
grounding disposition to inces-
sanity come out and 90 in at the
same hole. No matter where, ON
the broad field OF argument, you
scare him up, he scarcely takes
time to give the weakest of barks
before drawing himself together
and disappearing within the ex-
ceedingly small hole which he
calls his 'sincerity" and leaving the
balance Of The world to SILVER in
the, outer darkness of hypocrisy.
Does the President favor princi-
pies which our little neighbor has
-
been unable to comprehend? This
only proves that the President is
sailing under false colors and de-
ceiving his party. Does our Con
gressional delegation favor the
Blair bill, which this cynical ora
Gle opposes because he disapprovos
of the very theory of public
schools? This only proves that
our Congressman are acting hypo-
critically for the sake of populari-
| ty. Does the TIMES favor relig-
ion, temperance and mo rality, all
of which seem distasteful to this
caricature Of sincerity? This
moot conclusiyely proves that the
TIMES is playing the hypocrite for
the sake of popularity with a ma
jority which the Banner thinks
does not exist. An so on ad M
tnitum; this is n patent back
action argument, warranted TO
work in all cases; and it will new
er wear out unless the gentleman
should, in some Of his lucid inter-
walls, mako a mistake and reverse
ii, but he will never do that.

The New Orleans Exposition.

From tue following taken from
the New Orleans Picoyj,ac, it may
be seen that in the matter of fruit
Arkansas has taken the cake again
this year in her usual happy style:
Lewis B. Hubbard, Commission
er of Agriculture, has kindly fur
nished the following summary of
the report of the jury of Awards
on the fruit display. The show
does not embrace as many States
and Territ9ries as that Of last year,
which was the largest and best
ever made, The display, however,
is very fine one, there being over
two hundred varieties of apples
alone in one single exhibit, and all
concede the palm to Arkansas for
her large and elegant display,
they are surprised and delighted
at the large size of the fruit, the
extent and variety of the displays
from the far of Pacific slope. The

We have no patience with that
class of alarmists and moss-baek-
cd foggies who are continually
prating about the dangers of CEN
tralization not when the spoils of
Office are under consideration
but when some internal improve
ment is suggested which cannot
fail to benefit the whole people.
They do not seem to realize that
Congressional action is simply the
capitalization of public sentiment
and that we live in a country
where the people are absolute
rulers, Years ago this same class
used the same argument to defeat
river and arbor improvements, and
even objected to the Government
erecting buildings for its own use
throughout the States; they were
more numerous them. but their
lack of Judgment rendered them
impotent, and the wheels of pro-
gross moved on. Now they are
rehashing their same old objec-
ton and urging 1t this time against
the. proposed educational bill as
we'll a. other measures which have
been ealled forth by the progress
and necessities of the times. The
position which they occupy is
similar to'that of the man who
objected to the erection of side
walk. in front OF his house by his
town authorities for fear said au-
thorities might next attempt to set
aside some Of the sacred rights of
his home. ,,

many .y65Sahg men Wearing such
fine clothes aid sporting gold
chains andBoal5.rings were never
before found grouped together

men are borne upon the rolls as
laborers, but in fact are clerks and
perform strictly clerical duties.
The Assistant Secretary, however,
issued his, orders that all able
bodied lab4rers on the roll should
be assigned to this duty, and the
young men had to obey. The
probability is that they will never
again be called on to perform the
same duties. The moral of all of

As we feared from the outset
the proposition of the Eureka
Springs Railroad asking for sub
sidy of $4,000 from our people
has served only to discourage
those most sanguine in Railroad
matters; mot but that such an
amount might be secured by q
united and enthusiastic effort
but upon this subject as we'll as
all others men differ, and it does
not now seem probable that our
people will come together until a
proposition easier of accomplish
ment and nearer their ideas of
reason is presented. Our Indus
trial Club is now at work on Il
proposition in which the people
will probably offer to the first road
which reaches Harrison a bonus
of $4,000 together with the right
of-way and depot grounds in
Boone County. The general opin-
ion seems to be that this is all
should be asked, and our people are
too expert at trading to offer any
more than an article can be pur-
chased for. We are sorry to feel
that the Eureka proposition can
not be met and the matter thus
settled once for all; but this is
undoubtedly the case, and the
sooner we acknowledge it perhaps
the better for all parties concern
