THE NEW BIBLE. lajame ol tho Rvi.l Old Tawttunent. SOME OF THE CHANGES MADE. A last (Friday) night's London cable ays : Oopiea of the revised version ot tbe Old Testament were given to the newa- papera at midnight laat night. All tbe papers this morning contain copious xtiacu from tbe work. This revision is the most important nvent in the history of tbe Engluh Bible siuce tbe publication of King Jamea' tranalatiou in 1611. It involves no changes of tbe Hebrew text ; BIO older manuscripts than the Maaoretio having been discovered, aud the idiom of tbe authorised version is moat cartfully preserved out of regard for the conservative feeling of tbe Church in its attachment for the language of the old veraion. All the errors ol translation, however, bare been removed, and tbe revision will be pro- nounced by every competent Bible reader to be a very great improvement. It pre- aenta the results i f the combined labor of a large number of tbe belt Hebraists and biblical scholars of England and the United States ; most of them protestors of Hebrew in universitieit aud temmariee. It bar. moreover, the advantage of tbe van advances of the laat fifty yeara in oriental philology, biblical geograi by, history and antiquities, all of which were but imper- fectly understood by tbe lorty-eeven translators of the King Jamea veraion. Tbe new veraion is not a good version iu place of a bad one, but a great improvement of a good version. Tbe whole Bible, after twelve jeare ot labor, appears iu its revised English version before the people of Great Britain and America. The revised version ia now 1 FACT OF HUTOBY. Those who bave labored in tbe prepara- tion of it bave carefully examined and re- examined every verse, sentence and word. They now commit it to tbe Englib-speak- ing world, kt.owing that the book will live while critics will die, aud wishing only tbat their labors may contribute iu this genera- tion or the coming cnea to make the scrip tares clearer in their true meaning to all tbe men of tbe Eogliab race. Tbe Bible appears bound witb tbe New Testament. Tbe preface opens with a statement of tbe Kara! principles on which tbe reviaion been conducted. The revisers have borne in mind tbeirduty not to make a new translation, but to revise that already listing, and bave departed from it only where they disagreed with tbe translators of 1611, upon the meaning of a word or sen- tence. Tbe terms of natural hiatory are only changed where it is certain that the authorized version ia incorrect ; where it is doubted ; or there ia an alternative render- ing given in th- margin. In aome worda of frequent occurrence tbe authorized veraion being either inadequate or inconsistent, CBASOB8 EiVB BBBH INTBODfCIL with aa much uniformity aa practicable. For instance, " tabernacle of tbe congrega- tion " baa been everywhere changed to tent of meeting." In regard to tbe word " Jehovah," tbe usage ot tbe authorized version is followed, the revisers not think- ing it advisable to inaert it uniformly in place ot " Lord " or "God," which, when ing a suggestion ol toooeaaive stages with long intervals. The " apples of gold," ot Proverbs xx. 4-11, are now encased in " figured work" of ailver, uot in " pictures.? " Vauity, snd vexation of ipirit " (Eoelef siaataa li. 17), has become ' vanity and striving after wind." " Happy ia tbe man tbat bath bis quiver (nil of tlinu " (Psalms oxxv. 11'.), baa been changed into " Happy is tba man tbat batb filled bu quiver with them." ritlftOaKM 0V PKAC'K.

Of technical terms from the Hebrew one in three seems to bave been gradually introduced. Tbe word " grove " (Judges vi. 28) baa been replaced by " aahers " with ita plurals " asherim " and asberotb." In tbe poetical books " iheol " replaces hell," which has been changed in prcie paaaagea to " the grave" nd " the pit," witb " tbt sheol" in margin. Of these rendering* of " bell," Bays tbe pre- face, " if it could bo taken in ita original aense as used in creeds, wonld be a fairly adequate equivalent for the Hebrew word, but it ia BO commonly understood aa the place of torment, tbat to employ it fre- quently would lead to inevitable misunder- atanding." In Isaiah it. 4, where " hell " ia used in more of ita original sense, revisers bave lift " hell " in the text, putting " sheol" in tbe margin. " Abaddon," which has hitherto been known to English readers of the Bible only from tbe New Testament (Revelations ix. 11), has been introduced io three passages ouoe in Job and twice in Proverbs. TUB TI1H " UEAI-Ol TEBINi, " baa been changed into " meal-offering," the former term having ceased to be tbe generic name (or all food. A new plural peoples has been introduced, although sometimes this becomes " gentiles " when the contrast to "chosen people" in marked. All tbe headings of tbe chapters have been dropped, aud tbe text has been divided into paragraphs. By tbia meana tbe revintrn bave been enabled to rejoin Psalm x. to Psalm ix. and Psalm ziu to Pnalm xii. and to begin lnaiab lui. at chapter lii. verae 13. Tbe xeveral days of tbe creation are rnadti more prominent by breaks of a line between tbe verses. This expedient baa enabled the revisers to make nae ot a dialogue form and to show tbe dramatic character of tbe Bong of Bongs the first chapter for example is divided into seven speeches. Tbe Pnalmu are definitely divided into five books, tbe last four beginning renpectively at Psalms xlii., Ixiii., zo. aud ovii.

The Czar ban usued an ukase tbat here matio papers yesterday, stating that it will be compelled to regard M a hostile aol any movement of Kueaia toward Herat. It in alao announced that Huasia baa spontane- ously disclaimed any menacing intentions with regard to Herat. Tbe Bri'.mb Gov- ernment is therefore favorably inclined to consider tbe question at ieaue between Eng- land and Russia settled aatiataotorily to both countries. Tbe approach of tbe general election campaign is bringing forward unexpected political fctrength among the Bntibb work- ingmen, who are concentrating every where upon labor candidates for Parliamentary seats, particularly in the larger boroughs. A movement baa been organized to raise a number of workmen to tbe magisterial bench in Lancashire and Yorkshire. Several members of tradea asaooialions bave already been offered magisterial appointments. The final instalment ot the Graoviue- DeGien despatches on the Afghan dispute will be issued during the recess of Parlia- ment. Tbe Conservatives will postpone parliamentary action until all tbe papers are presented. Tbe dominant feeling among Liberals ia that Earl Granville'a conduct waa weak.

Tbe debates thereon will be tbe laat parliamentary demonstration bef jre tbe close of Parlia- ment. Parliamentary circles are greatly excited over tbe attacks on the private character of Mr. Gladstone, Bir Charles Pi Ike and tbe Marquia of Hartington in letters sent to a Paris paper by Count Paul Vaaali, tbe advance sbeeta of which have been sup- plied to a number of English papers.

In Memphis and Chattanooga tbe death rate of the colored population is more than doable that of tbe whites, yet the negroes increase more rapidly. The explanation lies in the difference of the birth rate. A given number of whites, for instance, have six children in a year, of wbom two die. The same number ot negroea will bave ten children, of wbom they will lose five. Than tbe negroea lose two and one-half times as many children as the whitH, and yet gain upon them iu the census records. Muakrata destroy the levees and alliga- tora destroy the muikrata.

A large force of returning Royal MarineB from the Boudan arrived at Chatham y ester day afternoon. As they disembarked they were greeted witb cheers from tbe large crowds that lined the docks and decked the harbor witb small boats.

They cover the well- known ground up to tbe Penjdeb incident, and throw no light whatever on the nature ot the negotiations mnoe. Tbe documents show aggreaaion on the part of Runsia upou the Ameer'a territory, ot which Herat is a salient point. A Glasgow procession of Orangemen marched into the Coatbridge suburb yester- day aftbrooon with Orange flags and regalia, aud tbe band playing Orange airi.

HIM >..' *u.ii. io I'.opir Wb* Travel the K>II, u,,,i Many people bave travelled all their live* and yet do not know bow to behave them- selves when on the road. For tbe benefit and guidance of suob, these few crisp, plain, horse sense rules of etiquette bave been framed. In travelling by rail, ou fool, turn to the right on discovering an approaching train. If you wiab the train to turn out give two loud toota and get in between the rails ao that you will not muse up tbe right of way. Many a nice, new right of way baa been ruined by gtf.mg a pedestrian tourist spattered all over its first mortgage. Oa retiring at night on board tbe train do not leave your tenth in tbo iov-water tank If every one should do so it would occasion great oonfunion in case of wreck. Experienced tourist* tie a string to their teetn and retain them during tbe night. If yon bave been reared in extreme poverty and your mother supported yon until >ou grew up and married, so tbat your wife could support yon, you will pro- bably bit in four aeata at the same time, with your feet extended into tbe aisles ao that you can wipe them off other people while )ou snore with your moutb open, clear to your shoulder blades. If you are prone to drop to sleep and breathe witb a low death rattle, like the xbaoat of a bath tub, it would be a good plan to tie up your bead io a feather bed aud thin insert the whole thing in tneliren closet ; or, if you cannot reoure that, yon might stick it out of tbe window and get it knocked off against a tunnel. Tbe stock- holders of tbe road might get mad about it, but you could do it in such a way that they wouldu't know whose bead it was. Ladies and gentlemen should (.narfl againat travelling by rail while in a beastly a;ate of intoxication. In tbe dining oar, while eating do not comb your muntache witb your fork. By all meana do not comb your mnataobe with the fork of another. It is better to refrain altogether from combing the mustache with a fork while travelling, for tbe motion ot tbe train migbt jab tbe fork into your eye and irritate it. It your dessert is very hot and you do not discover it uutil you have burned tbe rafters out of tbe roof of your moutb, do not utter a wild yell of agony and spill your coffee over a total stranger, but control yourself, hoping to know more next time. In the morning u a good time to find out bow many people have succeeded in getting on tbe pattstcger train who ongbt to be in tbe stock ear. Generally, you will find one male and one female. The male goes into tbe wash- room, bathes hia wortbleas carcass from daylight until breakfast time, walking on the feet of any man who tries to wash bia face during tbat time. He wipea bimaelf on nine different towels, because when be gets home be knows he will bave to wipe Die face on an old door mat. People who have been reared on hay all their livee generally want to fill Ibemeelvea full of pie and colio when they travel. Tee female of tbia same mammal goei into the ladies' department and remain! there till starvation drives her out. Then the real ladies have about thirteen seconds apeoe in which to dree*. it.,.. . , .
