owing te. GREENSBORO, N. C. w Entered at the Post-Office at Greensboro N. C. as second cl.ss mail matter. r By J. S. Hampton. THURSDAY, .. ... . . .MAY. 2$. 1887. Secretary Whitney is the only Cabinet official who keeps his own carriage, horses and coachman. His footman and driver are Englishmen. They wear a handsome dark green liv ery and gloves of a bright tan color. gaS British Minister Sir Lionel Sackville West will go to Eng land next month. This will be his first visit to his native land since he went to Washington six years ago. He has improved greatly in tennis during that time. HeaT'The latest official esti mate of the revenues and expen ses of the government for the current fiscal year places the receipts at $370,000,000 and the expenditures at $266,000,000. This would leave a surplus for the year of $104,000,000 which is not so great as some experts predict it to be. But it is that much more than ought to be taken from the over-taxed peo ple. 8" The will of Washington C. Depauw was probated on Monday. It covers thirty-three sheets of closely-written legal cap, and bequeths $3,000,000 to his family, and the residue of his estate, es timated at $5,000000, is donated to benevolent and educational purposes, including a bequest of $1,025,000 to the Depauw Uni versity. cferine uontederate monu ment was unveiled at Hopkins ville, Ky., on Monday last, in the presence of an audience of several thousand persons, among whom were distributed medals of ele gant design, embrossed with National colors and- beautifully engraved. Henry W. Grady, of Atlanta, delivered an eloquent oration, suitable to the occasion. JgQ'The exports from the United States durincr Tnnnarv j , February, and Marcli of this year, largely exceeded the im ports. The statistics of imports and exports for April, as yet only partially completed, indicate that there has been a change in ine Daiance ot trade, and that the imports for April exceeded the exports by at least $15,000, 000. J3 Patrick Gilmore and his band" were recently obliged to wait two hours for a train at War ren, 111. The citizens made up a purse of $50 and offered it to the director on condition that his I musicians would play one selec tion. Mr. Gilmore informed them that a little music would cost them $150. Warren did not hear the great band that day. 18 Some years ago Major Jared Rathbone, of California, lately appointed Consul-General at Paris, lost a great deal of money. He owns a place at Menlo Park next to the estate of rLeland Stanford. He and Sena tor Stanford are. great friends, and the latter at once made Major Rathbone Superintendent of the Menlo Park ranch at a good sal ary. This proposition he has most ably and acceptably filled. June 2 will be ' the first anniversery of the President's marriage. "It wili probably be passed in the sylvan solitudes of the Adirondack region. Mrs Cleveland will take to the woods her mountain trousseau with r which she made a sensation at Dear Park last year. One of her Favorite costumes when in retire- ;tnent is a loose flannel dress, I tout shoes and a soft felt som- breroe hat. In such attire she ill in all likelihood celebrate the rst anniversary of her wedding day. . ' NEARLY FIFTY MILLION BK3LES. rrloted in 1G5 anga-es mud Dlstrlb uted Broadcast Oyer tbe World. The American Bible society has just com piled the results of its work for the past year. It has issued 977,005 volumes, besides 500,000 in foreign lands. This makes the total num ber of Bibles issued by the society since its or ganization in 1816 48,356 J25L The corrected proof of the last pages of -the New Testament in Fonape have been returned from Microne sia, and the last pages of the Moskokee Testa ment from Okmulgee. The Dakotans want a new edition in their language. The American Bible society has published the Bible in all the languages of Europe, and in Reval-Estonian, Irish, Finnish, four dia lects of Africa, G sebo-Mpongwe, Benga, Di kele, Zulu; in the languages of the Sandwich Islands and. Micronesia; in the Slavic, Bulga rian, Chinese and Japanese, and in ten North American Indian dialects, making forty-eight in alL Those issued by the British and For eign Bible society makes the total number of languages and dialects in which the Bible is printed to-day by these soci&ties 1G3. Of these the oddest, looking are the Irish, Sla vonic, Turkish and Azerbijan or Tartar Turkish, Georgian, Syriac, Arabic, Ethiopic, Tigre (which has a colon after every word), Amharic, Persian, Pali, Pari-Oujerati, Sindhi, Cararese, Malaylam, Undo, Orisso, Siamese, Burman, Tibetan, Karen, Java nese, Coptic, Cree, Tinne and Cherokee. "How many translators do you employP was asked of the Rev. Dr. Alex. McLean, one of the secretaries. "We have no translators. The work is done by the missionaries, who have to study the language of the country in which they labor. The Bible society pays their expenses while they are translating for us." "How many Bibles have been printed for the blindr "There were issued last year 207; the entire number in forty years is 14,184. There are in the raised letter form. " "What are the new Bibles for the blindr "We printed twelve years ago a Bible in the New York point print, and have printed the Psalms in the same, and have now com pleted the Gospel according to St. John." "What is the point print?" "It is a system of points that represent either separately or by combination the let ters of the alphabet The old raised letters could not be readily detected by fingers that -had become calloused by basket making, at which many blind people work. The points can be felt by the dullest finger." The cost of supplying the Bible in foreign lands is $100,693.24 more than is received from them. One-ninth of all the families visited by the agents are destitute of the Bible. It-took Dr. Eli Smith and Dr. Van Dyck sixteen years to translate the Bible into the Arabic. Dr. Scbauffler spent fourteen years on the Osmanlee version. Dr. Schereschew sky fifteen years to render the Old Testament into the Mandarin Colloquial. Dr. William son and Dr. Riggs spent forty years on the Dakotan version. One of them estimates that he spent on an average thirty minutes on every verse he translated. Since Bible so cieties were organized 253 versions have been produced in about 200 languages and dialects. New York Sun. , An Indulgent Royal Grandmother. While the Duke and Duchess of Connaught are absent in India, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, in Malta and the Duchess of Al bany at Cannes, their several children and nurses are jinder their royal grandmother's immediate surveillance at Windsor. When ever Victoria leaves the castle, if only for a single night, the royal nursery goes with her, and not the least interesting feature to spec tators of the retinue that follows the queen's carriage when she comes to Buckingham palace to hold a drawing room is the coach full of nurses with baby faces peering out of little white hoods. At an upper window of the palace may be seen the little white f rocked princes and princesses looking with childish delight upon the dazzb'ng pageant below. It was the indulgent grandmother, rather than the queen, who issued the edict for a special entertainment at the Olympio for the royal family. The grandchildren of Victoria are to be congratulated. New York Sun. - , Hint Concerning Keliglous Pictures. "What picture or photograph or engraving of a religious type may I safely buy for my house!" some one inquires. Truth is, too many religious pictures die out altogether, and sooner or later lose all power of suggestion or inspiration. Our homes-are full of such litter, which we retain from sheer force of habit or dread of further disillusion. Chiefest among such are pious "death beds " the imperiled women clinging to her rock cross among the waves of mid ocean, tawdry tod painfully realistic "Holy Families" utterly wanting in sanctity or spirituality, and soon. But there are religious pictures that are so charged with an esoteric religiousness that it becomes quite as much an element as the drawing, the composition or the chiaroscuro. And such pictures are always living for such as have the true insight There are fiolman Hunt's "Light of the World," certain cartoons of Kaulbach, the wonderful "Christ Before Pilate," and much of Ary Scheffer and all of Overbeck. The Churchman. The Matter of Pedestrianlsni. If we Americans used the street cars less and our spindle shanks more we would be a great deal healthier race of people. English women can put their American sisters to shame in the matter of pedestrian ism, and their well developed figures, fine carriages, and beauti ful complexions speak eloquently in praise of their activity. Last year Mrs. Langtry out walked three New York ladies, who took turns in accompanying her in a day's peram bulations, and that night she appeared on the stage as bright and charming. as If she had just awakened from a long, refreshing sleep. It is not altogether the fast eating of indigestiblo food that makes us a race of dyspeptics, but the sedentary habits which seeem natural to us in spite of national energy. That sounds' paradoxical, but it is true. Globe-Democrat - To Copy With pin or Pencil.
