In terestine. Information Concerning the Rook of Booles-Tis history in England -• It Was .1.1ways l'ecely Circulated and Freely Vsed in the Old, Land. Some time ago reference was made in thes;s coin ins to a pamphlet, written by the Rev. W. E. Griffis, 1).1.)..„ of 13oston. This little work was intended to give 11°110 to the Hollanders, to whom the world iS so greatly indebted in many things : and as sueh it could hardly say too much. But, in heaping deserved praise on the Dutch, the writer went out of his way to depre- elate and misrepresent almost everthing English. In fact, whenever .Mr. Griffis refers to England i;e inakbs almost as many mistakes as there are sentences in his nar- rative. He is not only a prejudiced Nvriter, but a very ignorant writer. It is not, worth while to follow such a maxi for the sake of exposing his , errors, but some remarks respecting the English Bible may be worth'notice because of the general in- terest of the subject. Mr. Griffis says: In England the Bible was not popularly known or.read. Wyclif had, indee0trans- lated the Scriptures out of the vulgate Latin into English ; but, being in manuscript, were never printed until hundreds of years, and then only as a literary curiosity for scholars. Wyclif's translation from the vulgate was practically Unknown to the people in their homes, .for Nor men could not afford to buy a manuscript book at the cost a a year's wages. Indeed, in the strict modern sense of the word, which suggests printing and diffusion, Wyelif's Bible was not even published. Further, even in manuscript, it, was prohibited by law in 1408. Indeed, ;Wyclif himself did not be- COMO a pronotinced opponent of the Pope until he had visited the Netherlands, under direction of John of Gaunt, who intro- duced still larger numbers of Dutch .weay- ers into Easton% England, where for centu- ries the words "weaver" and "heretic" were synonymous. e Now, it is true enough that Wye Bible was not printed in England, for very good reason that in Wyclif's ti printing was unknown; and before Bi were printed in any country Wyclif's tra lotion was superseded by other and m accurate versions. It is sutely stra criticism to argue that the DOA were . advance of the English beeaus4 the Engl did not have printed Bibles before the of printing was invented. It Is also tr that the English people did not have N era's Bible in their homes. That was t of every other people under the sun. T poor people of Holland could no More affo . to have costly manuscripts in their heal than could the poor people in England. N du -not see that thc superiority _ of Hallo is established by proving that the Engl people were in the same position in this spect with all other peoples. But it is absolutely untrue that the En lish version of the Bible was in atily sense th.e word a sealed book, or even a ra book, among the _English people. The was no palish church without aBible op to all who wished to consult it. There w no monastery where a free -school, was n open to all who desired, to learn. Versi after version of the Bible, or parts of t Bible, was rendered into the yeena,cula from the time of Bede down to the date King James's Bible. Aidan, BishOO'of Li disfarne ; Ciedmon, of Whitby; Eadfrit Bishop of Lindisfarne; Bede and Kin Alfred, are said to have translate the whole or parts of the Seri tures. Part of a psalter, translated b Aldhelm, Bishop of Sherborne, is sti in existence. - Copies of the Heptateuc or first seven books of the Bible, are still i existence. The translation was Made b Elfric, Archbishop of Oanterbury1,. abou the year 1,000. Cranmer says the Bib was "translated and read in the Saxon tongue, which at that time was ourlinothe tongue? Sir Thotnas Moore says "th whole Bible was, long before Wyclit's day by virtuous and well -learned men translate into the ,English tongue, and by good an godly peaple with devotion and wherries well and reverently read." Foxe, author o of the Book of Martyrs, says : "If histor ians be well examined, we shall find i bot before the conquest Fid after, as well hefor John Wyclif was boVri as since, the Whol body of Scriptures by sundry men trans lilted into our country tongue." -These copies were made in great hum bers. Crammer says that in his day "many copies" of these old English *Bible remained. We are not in a position to sa how many copies of Wyclif's Bible Were written. But that great reformer sent his preaching friars through the length and breadth of England, with the English Bible in their hands, and there is not a doubt that the sacred Scriptures were as familiar to Englishmen in that day as they are, to Englishmen of our day, it is probable, but not certain. that Pavey' si Bible was a Mere revision of Wyelifs. It seems to -have been in common use. So many copies of it were made that it must have been scattered throughout the whole country. Notwith- standing the ravages of time and civil dis turbances, about 150 copies of it are still in existence, all of which appear to have been written before 1430. It is not to our present purpose to show how or when Wyelif formed his opinions in opposition to the temporal power of the Pope and the interference of the clergy in secular affairs ; but we may just notice in passing that the statement of Mr. Griffis in that respect is incorrect. Wyelifs miniatio Qieedam de Dominic), in which lie opposed the paying of tribute to the Poi* was writtedin 130e, and other writings of like nature followed in rapid succession, - while he was not seat to Bruges till 13-,4. It is tette enough the printed Bibles ita Dutch were circulated in Holland before printed Euglish Bibes were circulated le England. The fact is not to the discredit of England, as Mr. Griffis intimates, but tb her credit. Manuscript Bibles so fully snp- plied the demand that the need for printed Bibles was not at once apparent. Mr. Griffis says : "The editions of Tyri- dale's New Testament, smuggled into Eng- land, wore printed by Dutchmen on Dutch This is one of Mr. Griffis' character:7 istie statements, in which part Of the truth is carefully suppressed. Tyndale began hie translation probably at Wittenberg, and tiniehed it at Cologne. He began to print at Cologne, but, being disturbed there, he fled to Worms, where the first complete edit -ion of his Testament was printed be • Peter Sineffer. About 6,000 copies seam to have been put into circulation in England. Afterwards, several edi- tions were printed at Antwerp. Tyndale'S Pentateuch was "Empeented at Marl- borow, in the land of Hesse, by mei Hans Luft, in the 'yere of our Lorde gmcccxxx, the xvil day of January." Tyndale did not, as Mr. Griffis seems to think, issue any complete edition of the Bible. And all the first editions printed by or for Tyndale were printed in Ger- many, not. in Holland. But the main fact which is of interest to the general reader is that the Bible was al- -ways freelycirculated and freely used in England, Tyndale's publications were not forbidden because they were copies of parts 'Of the Scriptures, bvt because they were g not authorized. Thmesands of monks were continually at work making copies ef the Bible. The Scriptures were open in (teary tcrntaie ery and every tiered, thurch. So t row noltand havingaii adeentege v that resneeL.

Gladstone on the arrival -of his 83rd birthday. Her telegram was unusually gracious in tone. llundreds of other tele- grams and letters have been received, many at Hawarden and others at Biarritz, where Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone are staying. Mr. Cladstone is said to be enjoying excellent health. Sixty years ago a slender, handsome young Oxford graduate, who had won hip oratorical spurs in tne University Debating Union by moving and carrying his resolution that the Goverumetit of Wellington was unworthy of confidence put his hat on the bench in St. Stephen's flail and thus pre- enipted his seat iri William IV. -'s Second Parliament, e Some 600 other gentlemen did the same thing at the same time.

It was pretty mucli of a pocket borough, despite the fact that the first Reform 13i11 was already a law and young Gladstone's party in a tre- mendous minority of 130. But he was the nominee of the Duke of Newcastle, the most unpopular man in England, the only nobleman whose seat was burnea b7 a Re- form year mob, and a Radical barrister, whose name is forgotten; had given him a hard personal tine& on the hustings. With this experience and his Oxford training there Was no trouble about his maiden speech, which was brilliant and successful. Two years after that, Peel having come in, made him a junior Lord of the Treasury. He hal thus held office intermittently for 58 years' and the Premiership intermittent- ly for 26years. He has belonged in his thne to different parties, yet nobedy but his blindest enemies have ever accused him of anything worse than self deception. With the English masses and Liberals the world over, he has been since 1866 at least the most fixedly popular of Eoglieh statesmen. These fact-) alone make his career the most unique if not the greatest in Parliamentary history. Among the birthday presents sent to Ti'. Gladstone is a silver milk jug from G-uerus sey.

The rear brakeman saw her fall, and immediately pulled the bell cord. The train was stopped and backed up, but in- stead of picking up a corpse the lady was found walking along the track not injured in the slightest degree. A bank of snow, into which she fell, probably saved her life. -A thrilling acuident occurred on the bay at Owen Sound, on Saturday, 27th .ult., which, incredible as it may appear, was not attended with any serious' result. A dozen or more of the young residents of the village were enjoying themselves skating, about 100 feet east of where lies the hull of the old Spray. They had joined bands to play crack the whip, when the leader fell, and the follower's tumbled together in a heap. The ice gave way under the combined weight, and in a moment all were precipi- tated into ten feet of very cold water. By dint of much scrambling, the boys bravely helping the girls, all were got safely out, fortunately getting ,off with nothing -more than a cold bath. The, escape from drown- ing was certainly most,ivonderful. -In June last, olenetearine was °Lilly five cents per pound in Chicago ; to -day it is ten and a half. This is a grease especially adapted to stuffing leather; being made from the fat that surrounds beef kidneys, It is almost solid residuum after the oleo oil has been pressed out. The fat, or tallow, is carried by conveyors to the cooling tanks, where it parts with its animal hest. It is then chopped fine and laid in cloths, which are subjected lo great pressure in a press. The oil extracted is the foundation for the oleomargarine of commerce. - The scarcity and high price of oleostearine are ascribed to the new method of making lard. It is claimed, says the Shoe and Leather Review, that cottonseed oil and oleostearine are compounded\into an article that is sold as, but is really a substitute for, lard. Tallow stearine is the residuum from ordinary tal- low, and the oil is sold US tallow oil.
