Europeans. Please Notice.

Dr. Tachmyntis, who has been living in
the city for the past seven years, having
been exiled from Washington, as he
says by detectives, desires it to be known
that he is still here, and requests that
any in Europe who have been informed
quaintances of his that he is not dead.
He is, however, in destitute circum-
stances, which fact he also makes known.
He says that he is the victim of persecu-
ton and the interception of his CORES
pondence. His address is General De-
livery, or poste restante, New York City.

SOME CURIOUS BIBLES.

Peculiar Sobriqucts Applied to Various
Editions of the Scriptures.
We have the Breaches Bible, which
is indebted for its strange sObriquet to
the translation adam and Eve made
themselves breeches," etc. For this
edition, which first appeared 1866 in
quartO form, we are indebted to tie
English reformors exiled at Geneva;
during the reign of Elizabeth it served
as the regular family Bible, its popu-
larity being mainly due to the Calvin
istic comments which appeared freely
on the margin. Then we have an edi-
ton, printed in 1717 1T the Clarendon
Press. known as the Vinegar Bible, be-
cause the parable of the Vineyard in
the title to the twentieth chapter of St.
Luke is printed ''parable of the Vine
gar" Matthew's Bible, printed in
London in 1851. was nicknamed the
Bug Bible, from the fifth verse of the
ninety-first Psalm being translated, 80
that thou shalt not nede to be afraid for
any Bugges by nighte.' The original
idea of the word terror-is still to be
traced in bugbear. bugaboo. The
Wicked Bible was printed in London in
1851, and was SO called from the fact
that the negation was omitted in GER
tain of the commandments, the result
being that the edition was suppressed
and the printer fined $500 by Arch
bishop Laud, the money being, it is
said, devoted to the purchase of a sup
ply of Greek type for the use of the
University of Oxford. The Wing or
Placemaker's Bible obtained its name
from an error occurring in st. Mat
thew, v. 9. where Blessed are the
Placemakers' is substituted for .'peace-
makers" The Treacle Bible has the
passage in Jeremiah, "Is there no balm
in Gilead?" rendered, us there no
treacle in Gilead?' and the Douty, Or.
c. version has been described as the
Rosin Bible. because the same passage
has the word rosin instead of treacle.
Many years ago there existed in the
Stowe library, the Book of Gospels. on
which the English Kings, down to Ed
ward the Sixth, took the coronation
oath, with a huge brazen crucifix,
which the monarchs kissed on its cover.
The binding was of ponderous oak
boards an inch or so in thickness, fas-
tened by hug leather thongs. The
Printers Bible makes David pathetical-
ly complain that printers in place of
princes have prosecuted him without
a ause."-Murray's Magazine.

A SCIENTIFIC FACT,
An Instructive Talk About Oil, Water
and Air.

An Instructive Talk About Oil, Water
and Air.
1t is curious fact that if a drop of oil
is put on a highly polished marble table
or a large plate glass that lies horizon
tally, the drop remains in place, spread
ing very little; but when put on water
it spreads instantly many feet around,
becoming SO thin as to produce the pris.
matte colors for a considerables space.
and beyond them so much thinner as
to be invisible. 1t would appear that a
natural repulsion takes place as soon as it
touches the water, a propulsion so strong
as to act upon other bodies swimming
on the surface. rs straw, leaves, chips,
ETC., forcing them to recede every way
from the drop, as from a center, leav-
ing a large, clear area. There seems.
however. to be no repulsion between
water and air to keep them from COM
ing in contact with each other. Air in
motion or wind in passing over the
smooth surface of water may rub it, as
it were, upon the surface and
rise it in wrinkles, which, if the
wind continues, are the elements of fu-
ture waves. If there be mutual re-
pulsion between the particles of oil,
and no attraction between oil and wa
ter, oil dropped on water will not be
held together-it will be at liberty to
expand itself. The wind blowing over
the water thus covered by film Of oil
can not easily catch upon it so as to
raises the first wrinkles, but slides over
it and leaves it smooth; it moves the
oil little, which, being between it and
the water, seems to slide with and pre-
vent friction. When the wind blows
fresh there are continually rising on
the back of every great wave number
of smaller ones. which roughen its
surface and give the wind hold, as it
were, to push it with greater force; this
hold is diminished by preventing the
production of these smaller waves, and
possibly, too. when waves surface is
oiled. the wind in passing over it may
rather in some degree press it down,
and contribute to prevent its rising
again, instead OF promoting tn. Y.

RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL.

| Be Of good cheer about death. and
know this of tru. h-that no evil can
happen to good man. either in life or
after death.-Socrates.
I'm France there are 22313 national
schools for girls and 81, 924' for boys.
The first named are conducted by fe-
male teachers and the last by males.
There is no talent so pernicious as
eloquence to those who have it not I'M

ular. ought to study the rules of female
oratory.-Addison.

Cornell University has made an adj

THE religious consciousness" says
the Christian World. sis supreme fact
of human nature. Chritianty is the SUI
preme form in which the religious con-
seriousness has been interpreted and
bodied forth. Therefore if man is to
obey the grand Shakspearian cannon of
being true to himself, he will continue
Christian.
IL do wish that knew what to be-
lieve," said an aged woman whose mind
was all at sea on the subject of religion.
''Read the Bible and believe what it
says, and then you will find out what to
believe" replied the friend to whom the
remark was addressed. Every one
needs a religious faith. and this is just
what the Bible gives to those who
properly use tn. y Independent.
-Spurgeon thinks that working
Christians are seldom tempted. He
says that the man that has something to
do has less temptation to doubt than
the man who has nothing else to do but
to doubt. Heresies in the Christian
Church come never from the city mis-
siOnary, never from the intense evange-
list, but always from the gentleman at
ease, who takes no actual part in our
holy war.
God requires of us the same quail
ties that men demand in those to whom
they commit great and important in
terests. They ask diligence. faithful
ness, loyalty and the highest exercise
of ones powers to produce the best re-
suits. God tests us all, and Oftenest
perhaps when we are least conscious of
it. How can we expect Him to bestow
the higher places on us when we have
not met the demands of the lower?-
Standard.
Many people who have reason to
believe that they are Christians are
troubled because their prayers are not
answered. Some think it is from a
want of faith; others that they have not
the. right kind of faith; many other
reasons are given. But there is one
thing of which we must be certain if we
come to God. and that is. that we fulfill
the conditions. Christ says: IF ye
abide in Me, and My words abide in
you, ye shall ask what ye will and it
shall be done unto YOU"
