The Revised NkwTestamjmt.—The Brit
ish Quarterly Review of lost Saturday con
tains a crushing criticism of the revised
translation of the New Testament. Min
ute research and profound scholarship are
brought to bear upon the work, the writer’s
conclusions being that the revision is full
of gross errors, that many emendations
adopted are purely con joctura], and that al
together the old translation is still the best.
The article is written by one of the most
eminent scholars of the day and cannot fail
to make a sensation.
A strange explanation baa been unearth
ed of the manner in which certain freemen
of the borough of Grimsby, in England, 509
of whom have just been struck off the roll,
originally had tbe privilege granted to their
mnoestor*. When Queen Elizabeth visited
toe place she was so struck by toe excessive
ugliness of toe ladies of the borough that,
out of compassion for the poor men who
had to marry them, she put aside a pieoe
of land, to a share of whioh each native-
born woman was entitled on marriage,
thus giving to the bridegroom "a portion,”
.ml a consequent right to vote at Parlia
mentary elections. The land still remains,
and the freemen have voted for 800 years,
but they have now become a thing of the (
past as far as voting is concerned. j

A private letter from Freeborn county,
Minnesota, to tho New York Commercial
Bulletin of the 29th, says:
Have had almost incessant rains fur ten
weeks; nothing like it ever known before
in this country; the damage has been im
mense; all crops have been seriously dam
aged, and business of all kinds almost
suspended. I think ten million dollars
would be a safe estimate of damage to
corn, grain in stack and bay in this State
alone, to say nothing of tbe loss of rail
road and mill property by floods and sus
pension of operations. The railroad
blockades have hurt tilings badly. Pota
toes last week sold at ninety cents; to-day
they can get only fifty cents; ibis is from tbe
blockade; but tbe crop bas been hurt by
tbe warm rains, and many farmers can
not dig them, on acconut of the mud, and
when they are dug 'they can only bave
small loads, on account ot tiie roads being
so soft. Our plowing is not one-eighth
done, although the season is nearly over
for that kind of work.
NojIth C abolina Colored FAim—The
negroes ot tbe old North State are about
to bold tbeir third State agricultural fair,
with every promise of a fine exhibition.
The Wilmington Beziew says: Ever since
these fairs began the white people bave
shown a lively interest in them, and hun
dreds of them visi t the exliibi tion.They feel
a pleasure in seeing the successful efforts
of tbe negroes to improve tbeir condition.
Tiie officers of the North Carolina Indus*

surances from all parts of the State that

said, be creditable.
were too hasty. The Philadelphia world’s
fair, celebrating the declaration of na
tional independence, was in 1870. The
Boston world’s fair, commemorating the
achievement of national Independence
and return of peace, is in 1883—seven
years after—which is certainly in point of
time too soon for another world’s exhibit.
A decade would be soon enough as an ex
hibit and record of important changes and
improvements in the march of progress
but something will be willingly conceded
to tbe commemoration of a grand nation
al event. Bat we may say truly that
world’s exhibition every ten years, and
State exhibit every five, is often enough
for a show of progress which shall be in
teresting and improving. The idea of
getting up sucb exhibits oit mere specula
tion Is not practically a good one. Suffi
cient time should elapse between tbe ex
hibits to allow of a marked change and
development, and to give the interest and
importance of eras. If New York shall
get up a world’s fair in 1883 and Boston
tbe next year, both will sink into a mere
local rivalry, which the great world will
be indifferent to. and one will spoil the
other. We hope that New York, having
once abandoned her scheme, will not seek
to revive it.
Mormon Recruits in Georgia—
The Chattanooga Times says:
Tbe Mormons are gathering hundreds

nevertheless a tact, that many car loads
of “emigrants,” who leave Georgia, Ten

Brigham’s dominions, and fall under tbe

Suicide of a Pauper Floater.
Isaac Smith, a white pauper In the
almshouse at Newberry, S. C., committed
suicide Friday. At one time be was the
wealthiest citizen of Newberry county,
his plantation being valued at $250,000.
But the results of the war ruined him.
He had been an inmate of the poor-house
about ten years, and bad attempted sui
cide several times, but was foiled. About
3 o’clock Friday afternoon be told his
wife be was tired ol life, and that be
would kill himself. He took an old mus
ket and started off to the garden. His
wife tried to stop him, but he turned upon
her, when she fled. He then went into
an old outhouse, and, taking the shoe aud
stocking from his left foot, stood up
against an old shutter, which be placed
against the wail, and pulled tbe trigger
with hts toe. The result was instant
death.
heavy cropping must be tbo result of
a corresponding labor and expense in fer
tilization, which cannot be met in one
year, could it not he approached gradu
ally. Could uot five acres per year be
fertilized with economy and activity ? To
make one acre do the work of three' is
an enterprise worth trial. It is a high
road to wealth, more practical and cer-
tain tbau is open to the majority of busi
ness undertakings, and if pushed with
vigor and judgment, bound to result in
wealth. The great English farmer,
Meeks, had a motto by which he gov
erned all his operations: A “fair crop
makes nothing. Ail the profits ot farm
ers lie in heavy products, and ruin fol
lows light crops.”
Now, it is not wonderful that farmers
become impatient of such hints as these
from outsiders. They know by experi
ence the difficulties they must encounter,
but they bave made no exhaustive trial
of the change to so-called intensive farm
ing. But we can say this much, on al
most universal testimony: the bale to
three acres is a known and proved fail
ure. It will never do; and as labor be
comes scarce and bigb, so that policy be
comes more suicidal and hopeless. The
plain teaching of experience is that thero
must be a change, and that change must
consist iu cultivating le^s land and mak
ing it produce more.
