The Inerrancy of the Bible.

S. S. Mills, In Washington Post. 41 ‘Strain at a gnat and swallow a camel!” Is the reading of King James, translation. The particle “at” was a printer’s mistake for “out.” It has been repeated in all the Protestant English Bibles. The Douay translation has “strain out a gnat” and so it now is in the Protestant revision. The straining was not with the mouth but with a cloth. To make the mistranslation more Tidiculous a blundering back woodsman Is said to have-it. “Strain at a gate and swallow a sawmill.”

"We republished, a week or two ago, a paragraph from the Morocco Courier , stating that the only files l of the Jasper County Banner , Rensselaer’s and Jasper County’s earliest newspaper, had been destroyed Jn the burning at Brook, of the home of the editor of the Banner , the late John McCarthy. This statement, we are now glad to be able to state, is not correct. There is still in existence a complete and well bound set of the files of the Bannei •, the property of M. L. Spitler, of this place. Only two sets of the files of the paper were preserved and of these Mr. Spitler had one set and Mr. McCarthy, the editor, retained the other. The first number of the Banner wqs dated Dec. 22, 1853. The last number was dated Feb. 19, 1858. The above dates indicate that the paper was published for a period of four years and two months. The actual time, lroweyOr, was just four years, as the publication was suspended for two months after the close cf the third volume. The publication was then resumed for a year, whenit ceased for good. The Banner was Democratic in politics. It had no opposition for three years, and then the Rensselaer Gazette , a Republican paper, was established, to hold the Banner level. From the early demise of the latter, seem YfiaYYhA Gazette not only held it level but laid it low.

Warner <fc Shead, at the new grocery store, would like a share of your trade. They will treat you right. Petititions for three gravel roads in Marion township will be presented to the county commissioners, this week. One asks for a road beginning at the west end of the Iroquois river bridge on Washington street in Rensselaer, and extending south along the Range Line road to the line of Jordan tp. The second is for a road beginning at the north side of the Monon railroad, on Main street) and continues north to the Barkley township line, at Burk’s bridge. The first of these proposed roads is 3} miles long and the second 5j miles. The third road petitioned for begins at the Newton township line, west of the county poor fanp, runs east on the section line until it strikes Van Rensselaer street at Berry Parris’ place, then southeast to Work street, then east on the half section road to the Hanging Grove township line east of Pleasant Ridge. Length of road seven and one half miles. These roads are petitioned for under the provision of the new gravel road law, lately summarized in this paper. The first step will be the appointment off viewers, by the commissioners, to see if the improvements are needed. The next, the ordering of an election of all the voters in the township to decide wether the roads shall be built or not If the yote is for the roads they are built at the expense of all the taxable property in the township, and five yean are given to pay for theas in.

Scientific Aawricaa

A GREAT UPRISING.

The Surprising Material and Moral Strength of the Loyal States In 1861. As the years roll by we get a proper perspective of the civil war, and as we have leisure and opportunity to compare it with other wars we realize the importance of one fact too often overlooked. In oar impatience and criticism in 1861-5 we forgot that no war of modern times had been waged by any nation with rnlers so little prepared by experience. The soldiers of the Union., in 1861 were absolutely new to the art of war, and t>y an extraordinary combination of circumstances the civil rulers were at the same time almost devoid of experience in practical administration. The Republican party was led by very new men, whose almost entire experience had been in political opposition. They were indeed ardent patriots, bnt so far as experience in governing went they were in 1861 just like passengers who might suddenly be called to take charge of a ship going to pieces beneath their feet in a storm which made thrice seasoned mariners pale. Suddenly they were called upon to deal with the most embarrassing complications in diplomacy, the most difficult problems in finance, the most subtle and complex issues in constitutional law, and to meet demands for military purposes which would have staggered the most powerful monarchies in Europe. Russia, Austria, England and France had in torn owned their incapacity to suddenly mobilize a quarter of a million men. The United States, which had bnt 16,000 men in its regular army in April, 1861, had before the frosts of autumn fell nearly 700,000 men. armed and equipped and in camp or on the march. And with what success? Comparisons are in this case indeed eloquent. Great Britain’s administrative system confessedly broke down in supplying less than 60,000 men in the Crimea. In the winter of 1861 the Washington administration supplied 600,000 men, scattered along a line of 2,500 miles from the mouth of the Potomac to New Mexico. Before the war a revenue of $60,000,000 a year alarmed the nation. In a few months Secretary Chase had to raise $600,000,000 a year, and soon had to doable that. In naval warfare the Americans of April, 1861, were as children, yet in eight months they had established a naval blockade the most thorough in history, and in eight more their rams,' monitors and other ironclads had revolutionized naval warfare. The energy of the north was indeed wonderful, its reserve of strength vastly greater than itself suspected. To quota a western byword, “We ached with strength.” No country in the world was ever stronger for war purposes than were the adhering states in 1861. And back of all the material resources were the soul, the moral vigor, the fierce, and high resolve that the time had cone to settle the great issue once foralL Only twice in all history has theca been anything at all approaching it—the uprisings of Holland against Spain, and of France in her early revolutionary era. Time, instead of lessening, heightens our appreciation of that great and) truly national movement. The perspeo-t tive of 80 odd years gives ns a more in-l spiring view of the great uprising of thof north. J. H. Beadle, h M J

Thoughts For the Hour.
