History of the Formation of the Divine Work. It may help to an understanding of the work involved uv revising the accepted text of the Sfew Testament, says tho Philadelphia Times, to recall the circumiitnnces under which this collection of sacred writings had its origin. The history of the formation of what is technically known as tho canon of the Now Testament that is, the collection of those writings that were accepted as

r.f divmo authority Mid the separation from them of othor writings, even contemporaneons, that were not accepted beats somo points of resemblance to the long" and gradual growth of the Old Testament canon. This, it will bo remembered, was a process extending over centuries. After the return of tho Jews from captivity, one of the first euros of Ezra and his associates wns to collect, edit and transcribe, if not to translate, the Booka of Moses called in Hebrew Tora, a landmark known to us as the Pentateuch, or, from the Greek title afterward given them, "tho Law." After that an effort was made to gather together tho various prophetic books, " the writings of the saints," and in the course of time there was gradually formed tho second part of tho canon, which is referred to in the New Testament as "the Prophets." finally there were collocted from fhe remaining body of Hebrew literature, both ancient and recent, a variety of sacred writings or " Hagiographa," some of them used in the Temple service, somo handed down ;:y popular tradition, and some evidently compiled from various sources to complete the liistoric record. This group, which took its popular title from the leading division, " the Psalms," was not closed until long after the Law and the Prophets, These were the three separate collections so often referred to by the sacred writers. The dates of the different books thus gathered together cover a period of at least 1,000 years, and there is no doubt that they were originally written in a great variety of dialects and characters. As finally transcribed and edited, however, they formed the sacred canon of the Jewish Church, in somewhat different, order but substantially as we have them in our Bibles to-day. "The whole of these sacred writings was translated into Greek, at Alexandria, by order of Ptolemy Philadelphia, by seventy-two learned men assembled for the purpose, and this version of "the i-ev-euty,'' or the Septuogint, was the version that was familiar at the beginning of our era and that is commonly quoted ia the New Testament. The history of the New Testament does not extend over any such long period, but within its narrower limits the process was not dissimilar. The earliest of the Christian writings is supXiosed to have been the first goner il epistle of St. Peter, which was written some sixteen years after the formation of the Christian Church. After this St. Paul wrote his letter to the ( falatians, those to the Thessalonians, and like mesfoges to other churches that had been established through his prcaohing. Naturally these letters were highly prized, and no doubt they were htuided alumt and copied, and as tho numher of them increased the churches in different cities would take paina to secure copies for their own use. It was not until those who lind been the personal companions of our Lord on earth were growing old, and felt that it would lie well to leave a permanent record of what thoy had seen and- heard, that St. Matthew and St. Mark were moved to write tho Gospel narratives that go by their names. St. Luke wrote his Gospel and his history of the Acts of the Apostles a JitUe later, St. Paul having meanwhile added to the number of his epistles, and tho se veral writings of St. John, tho last survivor of the Apostles, were written lost of all, the date assigned to his Gospel being near the end of the first century of our era. There is no record of tfit manner in which these various writings were circulated, but that they were very commonly ciivuSated is evident in mnuy ways. - St, Peter, for example, alludes to the epistles of St. Paul as though they were known to his readers, and SI. John plainly wrote his Gosjiel as a supplement to the others. In the writings of the early Fathers we begin to meet with refeieuccs to the Gospels anil to tho apostolic discourse., and by thmiddle of the third century we hear of the New Testament as a uollective body of sacred writings to bo named beside the Old. Still there wns no nntltnritsHvo action like that by which the Great Synagogue had accepted or rejected and made up the Hebrew canon. By a gradual and natural proocsft the extant Christian writings became divided into two classes the "homologoumonoi," which the universal tradition of all the churches accepted as authentic, and " antilegomenoi,f' which were accepted by some or a majority, but not by au. Among tho 1 books which do not appear to have been at first universally nccepted were the epistles of St, James and St. Jude, tho later epistles of St. Peter and St, Jolm, the epistle to the Hebrews and tho Apocalypse, while some of the churches received as authoritative tho epistles of Barnabas and Clement, the Shepherd of Hernias and sonic other books that were afterward discarded. The prominence given to the Christian writings in the persecution of D iocletian shows what importance they laid then as-sunicd, and it was during this period, no doubt, that the greatest efforts were made for their preservation. Long before the first General Ooutcil of Nicaaa, which fqrinulated the Catholic creed of the Trinity, tho Holj Gospels had boeu held in tho utmost veneration, alike in private devotions and in the divino service, but as to the apostolic writings the canon htd not been finally determined even at that time, aud it was not until the third conuoil of Carthage, in the year 897 which was not one of the great councils that the lot t of tho books of the New Testament as we now havo it, reduced to tho gencrall.v-itccei'tetl writings of the Apostles themselves, was first set forth coMplcte by what may be called official authority. This was the period of St. Jerome, 'one of the greatest Biblical scholars of that or any time, who, partly by- original translation and warily by revision and comparison of t he various partial translations already existing for Ly this time j orlions of tho scriptures h.id been rendered into many tongues made up that great Latin version of tho whole Bible, the Vulgate, which became to tho middle ages what tho Hcptuagint hits been to Uifi Jows nnd the early Christians and which lias been tho basis of all tho early translations into modern languages. Tho English divine of 1 (II I, who relied mainly on the Hcptuagint for tho intrpiuiiirt nt the Hebrew Scriptures wade u-u yt nu.h

Greek tests of the Now Testament as were accessible to them, but still they were helped greatly by the Vulgate. The considerable number of tho early manuscripts that havo since been brought to light have much enlarged the opportunities of modern scholarship to reach tho exact meaning, if not the exact original text, of the apostolio writings; yet the result of tho recent revision shows that, whatever verbal inaccuracies may have been introduced by successive generations of copyists, the Christian church has preserved and transmitted the body of the New Testament Scriptures through all these centuries with marvelous fidelity.

Freaks of the Telegraph. Names are always a great stumbling block to tho clerks, and addresses are convposed of names. Most of us havo tricks of writing names in any but a distinct fashion; and although die Postoffice persistently reminds ns, on the forms given to ns to write our telegrams on, that the writing should be plain, this advice;, like most other advice, is but too often neglected. Hence, many tolegrams get altogether astray, sometimes to t'ne not slight discomfiture of those into whoso hands thoy fall, and who, unwitting that any error has been made, forthwith act uiou them. It is related tb it a. woman residing in some small street ia Manchester once received what appeared to be a summons from her hnshaud to come up to him in London. Veiy much alarmed, she at oneo started. On her way she got into conversation with another woman who was in the same carriage, and who she found was also going up to see her husband, who was i n Loudon ill. This woman had been expecting to receive a telegram from her husband, and, not hearing, had grown an (ions and bad finally set off without the telegram. Further parley revealed the fact that their names were the same; that their husbands' names were tho same; that they both lived in tho same quarter in Manchester; and it finally transpired that the telegram which had boen delivered to the first woman was the very one which the second had been waiting for the error in delivery havitig been caused by some such mistake as "Hamilton f treet" for "Henrietta street" a mistake very likely attributable to want of distinctness in the writing. Another curious case of coincidence of which we have heard was that of a telegram addressed, "John &tillingwise, Brookilean, nr. Eirkby Lonsdale," from KobertStillingwiso, his brother, begging him to come at once to him at a hotel, which he indicated, in Leeds. The address "Brookdean" was in some way altered, and the telegri'.ni was delivered to another Jolm Stillingwise, living somewhere in the neighborhood of Kirkby Lonsdale. This Unfortunate man, who had not heard anything of his brother Robert for some twenty years, at once started oil' in stormy, wintry weather, reached Leeds in the evon jug, and was told by the landlord that he could not see his brother that Jiis;lit, as he was very far from well, and had gone to bed. The uext morning, he was ushered into Robert Stilling .vise's room, expecting to see his long-lost brother, when, to his extreme astonishment and disgust, he found himself confronted by an utter stranger!

The Migration, of Birds. Familiar as tho migration of birds is to us, there is perhaps no question iu zoology more obscure. The long flights they take, and the ivnerring certainty with whie i they wing their way between the most distant places, amving and departing ot the same period year after year, are points in the history -of birds of passage as mysterious as 'thoy are interesting. Wo know that most migrants fly after sundown, though many of them Kelect a moonlight night to cross the Mediterranean. But that their meteorological instinct is not unerring is proved by the fact that thousands are every year drowned in their flight over the Atlantic and other oceans. Northern Africa and Western Asia are selected as winter quarters by most of them, and they may be often noticed on their way thither to hang- over towns at night, puzzled, in spito ol iheirexpjrience, by the shifting light of the streets and houses. The swallow or the nightingale may sometimes be delayed by unexjiectod eireumstinces. Yet it is rarely that they arrive or depart many days sooner or later one year with another. Prof. Newton considered that were sea-fowl satellites, revolvinground tl'.ecarth, their arrival could hardly be more surely calculated by an astronomer. Fonl weather or fair, heat or cold, the puihiis repair to some oi their stations punctually ou a given day, as if their movements were regulated by clockwork. The swiftness of flight which characterizes most birds enables them to cover a vast space in a brief time. The common black swift can rly 2V'5 miles an hour a speed which, if .1 could be maintained for less than half a day, would carry the bird from its winter to its summer quarters. The large purple swift of America is capable of even givaterspeedonthewing. Tho chininey-hwaHow is slower, ninety miles per hour being the limit of it s power; out the passenger pigeon of the United States eon accomplish a journey of 1,000 miles between sunrise and sunset.

A Forgiving Nature. Among Montgomery's most violent critical assailants was R. H. Horne. After twenty-eight years' estrangement, I had reconciled Wordsworth and Leigh Hunt, so I resolved to try a similar experiment on Horne and Montgomery. I therefore, without acquainting either with my design, asked them both to dine with me. Upon my arrival at my house with Montgomery, on the evening in question, I was privately informed by my servants that Horne was in the library. Taking Montgomery into tho room J. intk'oduccd them to each other under the assumed names of Smith and Jones. Kxeusiog myself on a plea of dressing for dinner, i left them aloee. As neither had seen tho other before, they were puzzled ; they sat for a few seconds gazing at each other in a statu of pleasant bewildorment. At last Mr. Homo broke tho spell of silonco by saying : " Sir, as I am iwt Mr. Htnith, perhaps you are not Mr. Joiioa. My muno is Richard Henry Horne," To which, the othor replied: "And I am the Rev. Robert Montgomery." And extending his hand he added: "I am very glad to meet yon, my dear Mr. Horne " The devil you aro I" exclaimed Mr, Home, graspMig tho proffered hand.

OHIO RKPUHUCAX CONVENTION. The Republicans of Ohio hold their State Convention at Cleveland, on Wednesday, June 8. There was great harmony among tho delegates, and the work in hand was smoothly and speedily gone through with. sherman's speech. Senator John Sherman was elected permanent President of the convention aud made tho following speech : Gksti.ehex of tub Convkstiox. Toadies and Fellow-Citizens : I return yon my grateful thanks for this mark of your long-continued support and coufidt-iico. The bust way 1 can show my appreciation of this honor is as readily an pcMiiblo to proceed to tho btiHinca that brought us together. It ia nnectdsary for mo to make a long speech to inform liepulilicann of their creed and thoir policy. I am glad Mint yon have met under such 1'avorable aua)icni aud that th:- moat important nomination you aro called upon to make ha already been mado by the people of Ohio. Ciov. Foster U entitled" to r uom nntiou, aud I bohevo he will be triumphant. Ilia able and earnest canvass two years ago laid tho foundation for a great victory, and culminated last year by tho election of Gen. (jurlielil ua President of the United State. Fellow-eitizons, wo in Ohio nave many advatages. Wearciu a central locatiou, and it seems to me now that the center of population ia in Cincinnati, just before me. We are here in a Ktate of bound lens ronourcets although the great body of our population aro fanners, engaged in that highest employment of human life, the oultivati n of tho rail. Yet wc havo coal and iron, tho boat foundations for the moxt extensive manufacturing cbtal. ubruontB. In tetiieruce, sobriety, love of orck-r, in religious observance, ahvaya accompanied by toleration, all tbo bletsiiiga which l'rovirk'iio: has given lo mnnkind, we have, at least, ow eqnai share. This State of Ohio represents the whole Unite i States in one sense, for all of the Unitod States had their colonies in this 80U, and thi Western 1U servo is nothing but Connecticut o er again, slightly improved. Our population is gathered from evory laud and from every clime. Every nation of the world ccntributes to tho wealth of our cities. Therefore it is that Ohio is always cosmopolitan and always a fair ropresoutativo of tho vigor and aoergy, intelligence and morals of the American pcoplo; and now, fellow-citizens, Komelbiug may be expected of me to usy of the principles and j latfotm, but not much. The platform of the ltcpubhcau party is what it has done for twenty-five ;rear. The party to which we claim to belong ha; been in the vanguard of liberty and human pnigresH. Wo commenced at a convention !kc this, over which I had tho honor lo preside, in t'olumbtii). Wo commenced in 1855 ; the work lias been going on since. Wo grappled with tho institution of slavery and stayed its progress. Wo mtrsbalodto tho protection of tho Union with 7,000,000 men, and spent billions of troasuro freely contributed by a patriotic people to put down a most unholy ilcbellion; wc reconstructed the revolting States ; wo emancipated J,000',000 slaves, and wo have agreed to and will givo to them all equal civil and political rights. Wo lifted our :uuutry from tho throes of war and destruction and waete of war into tho most prosperous country in tbe world. Our credit is untarnished as good as that of anv nation. Our notes are now better than gold or silver in or out of tho mines of any iand, and float everywhere where the sun ihnics, as tho promises of an honorable nation, always faithful to its publio obligations. All these and many more things that 1 might mention aro the work of the llepnblfran party, of which we nro member, and it is this work that is our pUtform. I do nut care what platform is made for ns, wc know what wo belice in. and that which vto have done is tho best assurance of tht which wc intend to do. We intend still further to advanco public crrdir, sti'l more rapidly to pay off the publio debt. Wo intend to net, (led helping us, that every cili zen of this broad laud of ourd ii protected in tho rights which our constitution &ivo to him, .out what it wll. Gen. Garfield has told us in hi? inaugural address that all t he powere which lie comrnandi shall be nsed for this- purpose, and I believo him, and I believe it will be done. This great object of ltepublican policy is now more Ukely to be pursued than ever before. The times aro auspicious for it. Tho bitter feelings of the war in tie South aro going down. The frcedmcn are gradually getting lands, homes and properties. Friends aro springing up around them, and are now strong, mdopendent men, who, while they may not agree upon somo things, I do say they wilt stand by the Hag and the cau;o of human rights. They havo given ub their guarantee that tho constitutional amendments ehall be obeyed, and they will bo obeyed. Wit':iiu our couutry, broad and beantiful in extent and power, containing over fifty millions of people, expanding to a degree never before occurring hi . tho History of human hind, our country will then be a republic of freemen, all equal before tho law and of equal rights. Thero aro some other things, my countrymen, about Ohio politics. We have no room iu this countrv for a leader who commands end dictates. We have a great people, our convention aro gathered from all parts of our broad State, brought here as freemen. There ntver has been, and there never will be, room fcr a primato or a boss. Tho man who attempts it had better make his will beforehand. And, fellowcitizens, I congratulate you upon the anspicknw opening of the administration of James A. Garfield. W know office-seeking is undoubtedly the proper pursuit of mankind. There may bo some disapixiintments, because there are" fewer places to fill than men willing lo fill them. But iu tho maiu tho general pnnc ples and policy of this administration are in harmony with the aspirations of the republican party. Tho financial policy of tho last administration has been supplemented bv the reduction ot the rate of intorost on $500,000,000 of the public securities from 5 and 6 per cent, to 8 por coat. This -n-iso measure has boon carefully and most skillfully managed by Secretary Windom, an Ohio boy. They are saving $15,000,000 a year, and now the debt which frightened brave men fifteen years ago has melted away like snow before a summer miu, no long r frightening timid men, and now tho tax rn hisky will pay tho interest on tho publio debt. Now, lay fellow-citizens, I have already said, perhaps, alt that was necessary. Tho people of Ohio arc satisfied with the 'ndministntioa, I believe, t-s it now stands. I believe I can, in advance of the resolution that has leen or that will be offered, tay that Gen. Garfield has the emphatic approval of the Uepublicans of Ohio in the course ho has pursued thus far. Let him further advance the public credit; let him punish all who do wroug; let hiui give ns an administration pure, simple and republican, worthy of a nation liko ours, and wo will send him our approval twico over ajain. Bui, my countrymen, we havo soiurthmg to do in this task. Wo havo got to emphasize our approval by indorsing this udniii.ini ration in tbe election of the Itepnblican ticket this fall. Tliis is no child's play. As we know of the good efforts of the Republican party, that it has a powerful adversary behind it, bo that we dare not do anything wrong or they will push us off our stools if wo do not behave ourselves, and that is tho only use I know of for tho Democratic party. Let us, then, do our part work as liepublicans of Ohio know how to work and viotory will porch upon our banners. TUB NOMIKATIOSS. Charles Foster was renominated by acclamation, amid applause. Nicholas Longworth, of Cincinnati, was nominated for Judge of the Bupromo Court, Joseph Turney was nominated for Treasurer by acclamation. George Paul was nomiimted for member of tho Board of Public.

The tone of the convention may bo regarded as indicating the condition of the Republican party throughout the State, and, measured by this standard, the most sanguine Republican couidasknomore than was there exhibited. The character of the speeches, the enthusiasm with which they were received, the tone ol the resolutions, tho popularity o? the candidates, and the general spirit pervading the convention were infallible harbingers of a lively campaign and a glorious Republican victory. The sentiment that prevailed in the convention proved that the Republicans of Ohio are alive, and that the fact that this is an off year will not prevent thern from appearing at the polls en masse in October. Tie applause which every timo greeted the name of President Garfield, or any reference-to his administration, also proved that the Republicans of Ohio are a unit for the President. Prom the Cleve'and Herald. With the names of many of the best men in tho State from which to choose, the convention sold ted the strongest passible ticket, disappointed the enterprising gentlemen who made up the s!nt' proved again, as Senator Sherman said, that Ohio is too big a State for Ixiss rule, and placed the candidates on a platform which will command the enthusiastic support of all Republicans, and insure another great victory in October. Tbe delegates, wbo all went home rejoicing at the results of the day's work, even though success may not have crown-ad their particular favorites, will be met with plaudits by their constituents, who will recognize tho fact that the year 1881 is not to lw set down as an " off year" for Republicans in Ohio.

The Pnehlo Indians and. Their Religions Beliefs. The word Pueblo means villages; and the tribe of Indiana that have Jived in this region take their name, Pueblo, from tho fact thai they lived in Pueblos, or villages. Tho Pueblos have some peculiar idea of the future. They believe that a death they will be carried awav in somo mysterious uutnncr to a place beneath i vast underground lake, where melons and teaches and beautiful maidens an A horses are ui never-ending supply ftr the gcod. The Zuni Indians have ft tradition that they were placed where they are in orcer to be out of the reach of the deluge, of which they have some account. Ihe tradition relates how the Great Sp rit sot them apart as a chosen people, i,nd pf served them while all other trioes and nations were drowned. They idso believe that oil the people of the 'e.irth ore descended from the Zuni thus M.vod I rom tin? deluge. This tradition ha j its parallel with that given ns in the Saered Scriptures. They also lielieve that in Pecos (:t village) Montezuma was born; thathe grew up with extraordinary mental pov;ra; that he traveled a great deal and ti .tight the people ruany good things; tl at he usually rodo on the back of an eag e and always went ahead of those who traveled with him, and thus was, a i was the star to tho wise men of tho li.at, a guide to them both day and nigh ;, and, whenever thi eagle stopped at night, there was planted an Indian 3c.eblo. The sign where the great capital sh ai;Jd be built was the alighting of the eage upon a large cactus-bush, and there 'devouring a rattlesnake. This, tradit on has it, was on Mente.nnia's journev- south, and was his great and last jourm y. The eagle stopped where the City of Me xico now stands. The Mexican Government bus adopted the alighting of 1 10 tagle ns the design of the national ea!, and thus made men-.orable tho legend. The same design is also stamped on Mexican coin.

In Australia it t imiiar conflagration is known as a '. br.sh lire." The tragic story of one, whish occurred in South Australia, is relieved b;- no such thrilling incident as C ooper's Indian's escape : Murtiu McCarthy, witb four of his sons, left thoir thatched h-ira-estend in the Hundred of Hunker reap tho wheat which stood ripe for tho trickle at a distance of about a mile. They noticed a bush fire t bout a dozen miles off, but, as the wins' was in the opposite direction, they the uirht nothing of it, and wont on reaping till dinnertime. Immediately after that meal, which they took in tho lield, tb'i wind veered round, aud, rising to a hu' rr.eane, swept the lire down upon thoii form. Desperately plunging through the blinding Mnuke, they barely succeeded in putting a clearing 100 yards distant before huge tongues of tire 11'. ty feet high rnshed past them, roaring find biasing as they licked up every vt sfcigo of vegetation in their course. When the flames had subsided, McCarthy, followed by his 'toys, hastened with terrible foreboding across tho plain, to see if any of 1 ia family had been spared. As he ran toward tho c Vraney, which alone remained to mark t lie trite of hio dwelling, he stumbled over the charred corpse of his wife. A little further on was :he body of his 7-year-old boy, and rouu I the chimuey lay tho remains ot his fit e daughters. The eldest, a girl of 19, clasped in her arms the youngest, a baby of 3 years old. Accustomed as the cxM.ni&ts are to bush luvs, this unusual 1 olooaust cast a gloom over tho noighboi hood.
