A Calcutta dispatch says: A deputa-

have waited upon the viceroy Of India
and submitted resolutions demanding. in
view Of the failure of the Brussels Mon
etary Conferences to arrive at any con-
clusion in bimetallie issue, the Govern

the mints to free coinage. Lord Lans-
downe said the Indian Currency Associ-
alton had strengthened the case by leav-
ing the proposals to change the standard
for future consideration. The opponents
Of the change muas now show that while
. change Of the currency standard Of
value from silver to gold would benefit
other nations, il would damage India.

A London correspondent has had an
interview with Baron Henry de Worms,
Conservative member of Parliament and
Parliamentary Under Secretary Of the
Colonial Office in the late administration
Of Lord Salisbury. Baron de Worms is
regarded as thoroughly in the confidence
Of Conservative leaders, especially as to
their foreign policy, a subject with which
he is widely coIversant. De Worms said
he has long expected the troubles which
had broken out in Honolulu. He did not
approve Of the proposed annexation Of
Hawaii by the United States. The
Americans, said the Baron. had no right
to annex a place thousands Of miles dis
tant from their own territory. He BON
sidered the proper remedy for the HAwa
iian difficulties to be a joint protectorate
similar to the protectorate Of Samoa.
The British and German population in
Hawaii dwarfed the American. Hence
they would not allow the scream of the
American eagle to silence their claims.
England should oppose annexation and
Germany would be sure to speak.

THE SHIFTED SCENES.

The death OF Blaine, Hayes and Butler
all within a few days Of each other is a
forcible reminder Of how few Of the
prominent politicians OF the Civil War
period now survive. Practically they
are all dead. The men whose political
action as party leaders forced the war
are ell dead, and their immediate sue.
c~essors, the men whom civil war and civil
politics brought to the front after 1850,
are very nearly all dead also. It is true
that . large number Of men are still in
politics en- the strength of civil war is
sues, but they are men who had hardly
been heard Of. If heard Of at all, twenty
years ago.
II is hardly possible that the country
can be loser by tine great change that is
taking place. The politics of the Civil
War and Of the ten years Immediately
succeeding it were so u~nspeakably cor
rupt in looking back it is hard to under
stand how popular government could
have survived. 1t was a time when a
man who entered politics without intend
ing to get rich through the breach Of his
trust was hardly credited with common
sense by the men who had control Of the
country. Shrewder, "smarter" rsscals
never robbed . country. They had the
skill to identify themselves with the
majority Of the people by violent protes-
tations Of loyalty to the Union, and by
even more violent denunciations Of rebels
and traitors. so that it became almost
reasonable to object to any larceny such
patriots might see ct to commit in re-
warding themselves for their devotion to
the Union and their hatred Of rebellion.
By the same rule, it is now reasonable
to object to supporting a million pension.
ers whom we have with us to remind us
how hard il is to get rid Of the evils
caused by the criminal folly Of civil war.
In ten years more there will not be left
in our politics a single man who had any.
thing more than q local reputation at the
end Of the war. II is already hard to
End such. ALI the actual leaders of that
time are already dead or out Of politics,
and their places have been taken by men
who, IL they are not better, are at least
under the control Of a public spirit that
is rapidly recovering from the demorali-
zation inevitably incident to any war
md always worse in civil war. Bad as
they still are, our politics are changing
for the better and are already q great

job at a rate Of fifty cents, of which sum
he gave one-half TO his companion to
perform the necessary manual labor, re-
serving one-half unto himself for super

ing TO an inquiry by lady concerning
the character and qualifications Of a
woman who had applied to her for the
position of cook, and who had lately
been in the gentleman'ss service, said that
he could not recommend the applicant;
that She was "extravagant, impertinent

gave the letter to the applicant for the
cooks position nwhoimmediately brought
suit for damages against the writer.
The case was decided against the writ
er Of the letter, who was fined and adj
monished that he had no right to give
circulation TO injurious statements con-
cerning another person, even if the
charges were true.
In order to evade the responsibility
thus introduced in French law house

How the Scriptures Were Preserved Pre-

How the Scriptures Were Preserved Pre-
vious TO Their Translation.
The books Of the law were the first
books Of the Bible to be collected by the
priests and leaders Of the Israelites; after
the law came the written history Of the
people. in the Fifth century =. G., the
collection Of tine prophets by Nehemiah;
and from his time onward the collection
Of hagiographa, the Psalms, Proverbs,
Job, Canticles. All Of these had been
preserved by the priests, copied and re-
copied as occasion required, and circu-
lated in manuscripts, as of course all
writings We're circulated in those days.
The dispersion Of the Hebrews and
their acquisition of other languages and
loss Of tho Hebrew language, necessitat-
ed the translation of the Scriptures into
other than the Hebrew, and previous to
the Second century j. G. what we know
as the Septuagint translation-the LAN
was completed in Greek, designed es-
pecially for the Hebrews living in Alex
andria and other parts Of Egypt. The
Septuagint comes from q tradition that
seventy schOlars-seyenty actually
made the translation. Translations and
recensions into tho Aramaic were also
made, and these translations were copied
from time TO time, so that the oldest
manuscript Of the Old Testament now
extant is only about 400 years old.
The case is the same with the New
Testament. IL was written again and
again, until now there are upward Of
1000 manuscripts for the Gospels and as
many more for the rest Of the New Tes-
lament The Oldest manuscripts are the
Codex Sinaiticus and the Codex Vatica-
nus, which date from the Fourth century
A. d. So the books Of the Bible were
handed down, the old copies always be-
ing renewed before they wore out, the
language being Hebrew, Greek and after
A. ID. 300, Latin. The latter, in the trans
lation adopted by the Roman church, and
known as the Vulgate, because COM
monty used in the Christian churches,
was the first book printed, in 145O-5.
As far back as the Seventh century
portions Of the Vulgate were translated
into English, and the early versions by
Wyclif and his predecessors, by Pur-
yey and others, were translatiOns from
the Vulgate. Tyndale used Luthers
German translation of the Greek Bible.
The authorized version of King James
was made by forty-seven scholars and
finished in 1911; the manuscripts, so far
as accessible, were consulted, the trans
lators not restricting themselves to the
Vulgate, but going TO the Hebrew and
Greek whenever they could.-Pittsburg
