Is There an Original Text of the Scriptures @ To THr Epiton or THE HERALD:— Referring to the columns of your paper of the 20th ult., under ‘Religious Intelligence’ appears a letter from a correspondent (*R. B.”) on a subject much discussed of late, “Is there an original text of the Scriptures ?”? Your learned contributor and commentator, I | think, has unwittingly made some misstatements which stould be corrected, calculated as they are | to mislead many of your general readers, who have neither the time nor the opportunity at their com- mand to investigate 80 erudite a subject themselves, and who are consequently, nolens volens, necesst- tated te leave the matter in the liands of others pos- sessing these requirements. The Gospel according to St: Mark only contains fixteen chapters, but this evidently is a clerical error on the part of your correspondent when he calls attention to the seventeenth chapter, as it may | have arisen from a typographical deviation on your partin placing ,nis communication in type. The chapter R. B. refers to 1s unquestionably the six- teenth. The eighth verse, however, is neither omutted in the Sinattic Codex nor in the Vatican Codex as he states—Only the word “quickly.” The verse commences ‘and they went out quickly and Ged from the sepulchre.” The following verses, from the ninth to the twentieth, which terminates St. Mark’s Gospel, both inclusive, are, however, in neither of these manuscripts, but they are tn the | Alexanarine Codex, which was presented in the 1625 by one Cyril Lucar, Patriarch of Constantino- ple, to Charles lof England, this manuscript is now, I believe, in the British Museum and 1s sup- posed by savants to have been written about the beginning or the middle of the fifth,.century. These | concluding verses of St. Mark aré likewise to be | found in several hundred Greek manuscripts in all | of the Coptic and Syriac, im many of the Latin manuscripts and in the Gothic version. ‘irve Euse- bius, who dica in the year A. D. 340, “states ex- pressly that in neariy all tie trastworthy copies of his time tne Gospel ended with the eighth verse, and | with this of all existing known Greek uscripts | oniy the Vatican and the Sinaitic now agree.” Again the seventh and eighth verses of the fifth chapter of the First Epistie General ol St. Jolin your correspondent states are only to be found in an ancient manuscript in Trinity College, Dublir. They | gre to be foundyin alltiree of the manuscripts I | have mentioned, namely in the Sinatuc manuscript, {m the Vatican manuscript, in the Alexandrine manuscript. Omit, however, the following words:— “In heaven the Father, the Word and the Holy Ghost; and these three are one.” “And there are | three that bear witness in earth.” The text ven of these two verses reads thus:— “For there are three that bear record. the spirit and the water and the bivod; and these three agree in one.” ‘The highly accomplished scholar, Constantine | ‘Tischendor!, discovered im 1344 and 1559 the Sinattic Codex im the Convent of St. Catherine, on Mount Simat, aud he thinks it not Improbable (which caunot be the case wita the Vatican manuscript) that itis one of the fiity copies of the Scriptures Which the Emperor Coustantive direcied to be made jor Bysan- tu the year 431 under the care of Eusebius of a. ‘Tischendorf presented it to the Emperor | Alexander Ii. of Russia, aud it is now in St, Peters use The Vatican Codex appears in tne fi of the Vatican libra 4475.

To THE Epitok oF THE HERALD:— You correspondent, ‘“‘Trath,” while denying the immortality of the soul in his communication of iast Sunday, asserts that . The Scriptures are very positive as respects the death of the soul. ‘they show as conclusively as is weil possible that both soul and body form one living and dying essence, This proposition does not appear toagree with that iuvolved in the twenty-eighth chapter of the frst book of Samuel, where Saul converses with the spirit of a man who was dead, and of whose iden- tity the amplest proof was given; nor does it accord with the views laid down in the seventeenth chapter of Matthew, where the disciples saw the spirit Of another dead man, Moses, speaking with Christ; nor ts itin keeping with the promise given to the penitent thief on the cross—“This day shalt thou be with me in Paradise;’’ nor does it conform to the statement made by Jonn in the third verse of the nineteeuth chapter of Revelation, when the | spirit of a “fellow servant” appeared to him. And, finaly, it is at variance with the bellef of some of the most notable personages of both the Old Testa- | ment and the New; tor Saul believed in the immor- ality of the soul, or he wonla not have consulied ye woman of Endor; and the disciples believed in it also, or they could not have supposed Christ to | have been a spirit when they perceived him walk- ; INgon the water. So that, after all, the Scripiures ure not so very ‘positive’ in relation to the death e soul: but, on the contrary, are most speciiic ding its immortality, However, if we lave no arguments to use for or against the tmmortality of the soul, other than those drawn from remote and superstitious ages, when ignorance and gross dark- mess covered the face of the earth, the sooner we drop the subject, and take onr chances without any | | 1 unanimous call to Rev.

LOGOS, Misapplied Epithets. To THE Eprror or THR HERALD :— As aconstant reader of your valuabie paper I am fully convinced of the impartial attitude you always maintain towards the different creeds and their con- fessors. It is a most laudable feature in the New Youk HERALD that tts aim is directed to spread the seed of love and to eradicate the ill-weeds of relt- gious hatred. The greater, therefore, was my sur- prise when, perusing the report of the famous, or or rather infamous, “trunk tragedy ” in the NEw York HERALD of the 90th inst., I repeatedly met with the expression “Jew” ina connection which is apt to debase a designation borne by hundreds of thousands of honest men. Stugmatize villany, heip to bring home to the villain the full measure of punishment, and every honest man, Christian or Jew, certainly will applaud you; but it is the style of bygone times to abuse at such occasions the name of a whole religious class. To describe tbe nation- anty of @ malefactor the words “Polish” or “ Ger- man” or “Hungarian,” &c., 18 quite sufficient. To characterize the cuipaoility of his action a rich pro- vision of words is made im the English diction aries; but what has the culprit’s being a “Jew” do with his crime? Why could not one of the editors of the HERALD write his able editorial on the same subject without mentioning the culprit’s being a “Jew.” Why could not the reporter do the same? Neither his beiug a “Christian” nor a “Jew” is the reason for a depraved man’s depravation, but rather his being neither of them, Had the individual now held in prison to account for his crime been a “Jew” according to action, as he was according to name, he surely would have kept away from an un- Jawfal profession, and pever would bave perpetrated this atrocity; for you know as wellasido what the tenets of the Jewish religion are to impart to man the knowledge of God and to make him moral, Rey. Dr. AD. HUEBSCH, Roman Catholic Ordination in Brooklyn, [From the Tablet.) On Thursday, August 24, Messrs. Michael Nevin, Jr., and Join A. McCulium were ordained priests by the Right Rev. Dr. Loughlin, m St. James? Cathedral, Brooklyn, On the preceding days they had received minor orders, suh-deaconship and ceaconship, together with Mr, William:J. Hill. ‘The occasion arew together a very large assembiage both of clergy and laity, from the fact that Mr. Nevin was weil known iu the Western district of Brooklyn, and Mr. Mevuilum tu the Eastern, Among the clergy wc we noticed the Very Rev, Vicar General, ‘father Turner, Fathers Malone, Fransioli, sDonala, Keiey, Sheridan, Dorris, Meagher, Orr, O'prien, McCarthy, &c., &c. Mr, Nevin 1s a graduate of St. Francis Xavier's College, New York. After luis graduation at St. Francts’ he entered the Propa- gaca College in Rome, but the Italian climate proving too trying for him he was compelled to ree turn to the United States and completed hts studies at that venerable seat of learing, Mount St. Mary's, Emmetisburg, Md., at which place Messrs, MeCul- lum and Hill also made thelr ecclesiastical course.

At a recent meeting of the British Association in London Captain H. 8. Palmer gave an interesting paper ‘On an Acoustic Phenomenon atsJebvel Nigus, in the Peninsula of Mount Sinai.’ Jenel Nagas 1s a peculiar sandslope, from whicn loud and mys- terlous noises are frequently heard to proceed, ex- citing the superstitions of the Bedawin and the won- der of all traveliers in that dreary, silent waste. ‘The slope is about 200 feet in height and almost tri- angular in shape, eighty yards wide at its base and narrowing toward the top, where it runs off into ‘bree or four small gulleys.

They had hitherto rented the camp grounds from this gepitleman, but this year he has given them the use of the grove free and fitted it up at his own expense, and nego- tiations for its purchase have been renewed, with promise of success. Should the association be able to get the land on favorabie terms it is proposed to erect a number of neat and permanent cot- tages thereon and thus*invite summer residents hither, and camp meeting enterprise. There are five religious congregations in this village of about 4,000 Inhabitants—namely, Methodist and Catho- Ite, which are the largest; an Episcopatian and a Presbytertan, which latter has no church edj- fice at present, but worships in Continental Hail, and @ Society of Friends. The Catholic congrega- tion consists mainly of the employ¢s in Duryea's starch factory, which stands on a creek a little south of the village. I hear a great many complaints agsinst this factory as a nuisance, and at certain nours of the day, when the tide 18 low, the odor therefrom 1s very offen. sive indeed. The old residents complain, also, that the coarse salt meadow grass adjoining, which covers.several acres and which was formerly fed to cattle, is no longer fit for use, 1t having become liu- pregnatea with the refuse of the factory, Last Tuesday, the day on which this camp meet- ing opened, St. Patrick’s Catholic church had a pice nic in. Leoch’s aed from which $1,000 were realized. The collections at this camp services, thns far, have not reacned $2, and tie other veceipis also are smatl Last evening the Rev. Mr. Bowditch, pastor of the Methodist Ep D- pal church in this place, referring to tue smallness of the collections, remarked, in the language of Aunt Dinah, that though saivation was free it cost something to buy pitchers to carry it in, anda motive was thus given for increased collections. Rey. Mr. Goodseul, formerly of this place, preached an admirable sermon last night from IL Ephe- sians, 6, 5. ‘The condition of the sinner dead in tr passes and sins, his resurrection by the power of the Holy Ghost trom this death of sin and His subse- quent elevation to sit in heavenly places tu Christ Jesus were forcibly presented. In His spirituatly dead condition the disabilities and deprivations under which He sufi were clearly pointed out, and the elements of decay which find a firmer lodg- ment in the soul witn every year of his neglect to hear the voice of tne Son of Goa were strongly pre- sented as warnings to the impenitent; and the contrast of sitting in heavenly places in Christ Jesus were given as — induce- ments to repentance. There was an audience of about four hundred persons present, mostly rest- dents of the village. A prayer meeting of about half an hour followed the preaching at the stand, but there were no “seekers.” At a@ subsequent meeting in the Jamaica prayer tent several persons resented themselves for prayers, but I have not eara of any conversions yet among them. This morning, at half-past five o'clock, a prayer meeting ‘was beld in the same place. There are thirty-two tents pitched on the grounds, and the ur- rangements for boarding. and lodging are ample and excelisnt. A large number of New Yorkers have comé on the grounds this afternoon, and many more are expected tnis evening and to-morrow morning. Owing to the wet weather on Tuesday and Wednesday, which put back the services somewhat, the meeting will not close on Tues lay nighi, a8 was originally de- signed, but will be contimued until Wednesday noon, at half-past eight o'clock this morning another prayer and experience meeting was held, at which there were a few mourners, and some very rich Christian experiences were re- lated, At haif-past ten o'clock & sermon ‘was preached by the Rev. T. M. Terry, from Joun iv., 14, on “Christ, tne Saviour of the World,"? which Was a plain and unvarnished demonstration of the proposition from (ne promises relating to Christ and ther fulfiiment; the miracies of the Saviour and His general cuaracter and life while on earth; and winding up with an appeal to the experience of loving Chrisuans everywhere to-day in aitesiation of this trutn ‘The Wi one great rit which too many the puipit’ discourses at the present da! have not, Ip that 1. contained much more of God's than of the preacherts words, In the afternoon the W. ©.

The Taste for Rustic Styles in Dress~Some Now Costumes—“Cloud Lining”--A Revival in Chignons— Fashionable Accessories. Paws, August 17, 1871, France ts a recovering Invatid, and out of sympa thy for ner delicate, weakened state her daughters | are supposed to. have given up that love for attire | which was evor one of tueirtvaiities and ts a lurking temptation stil! Like all other weaknesses, love of dress breaka out unconscionsiy on small occasions. On great ones, such as a gala /v/e for the orphans of the army, a mass for the wounded, or a periormance for some , Other offictal distress, pupite charity snows itself in elegances which, however democratic, and be- cause they are democratic, cost not one centime less than the mourned aristocratic. In private life taste and the fine arts 007¢ ont of the plainest printea muslins, alpacas ana Mamas, the cheapest printed tarlatans and piques. Tnese unpretending materials are made up with such an evident endeavor to look nice without expense, in tunics which truly are very long and full behind, but so seant in front, and bodices of silk, with nice basaques, but not a bit of silk sleeve, that a signifi. cant desire to captivate, even sleeveless, and only fu apron on in front, deserves to meet with some | indulgence, Husbands who nave their foibles, too, are willing to attribute the falling off of a good deal of black to a kind intention on the part of their wives to obitterate from the natton’s mind the fact that Prus. sians are still drinking up its best champagne and carrying its millions away as regularly as clock- Work, Some say they are running away with the clocks themselves, but that has only been proved in Germany, not in France, where it is in the natdre of clocks Not to go regutarly. En somme, be it a patriotic feelmg or not which prompts French women to appear more fascinating than ever, they have made a successful venture. Thus, in these dogdays of republicanism, unbleached lawn and simple linen cloth (in the gray mouse shades) and clear muslins (pineapple color) have transformed the defunct beau monde into fascinating Jeannie Deans and Dolly Vardens, The favorite style for picnics, the seaside and watering piaces to appear countrifled; and it must be admitted the queer, pert head gear and buncied up cretonnes, just plaited round with muslin borders, headed by black velvet stripes, ef- fectually produce this pastoral effect. Still, how plain! Politicians grumbie about the luxé ds Jemmes, however, ann persevere in stopping at Ver- sailles, not perceiving that they are ruining com- merce and driving manufactures out of their capl- tal. When ladies begin to go about without over- sleeves and to wear bodices, not only open, heart. shaped in front, but also open heart-shaped in the back, for the sake of ‘saving material, I am told, tne least a people’s pariiament can do is to come and look at changes cooliy. In the absence of poilltictans no one here blames countesses and their daughters who are met carry- ing their own fruit ana flowers home from the mar- ket. They do itso naturally. Twice a week they are seen by swarms at the Madcilene stalls, attired in striped petticoats, in hats which have no vrims in front, high-heeled shoes and no other finery about them but a piece of black velvet around their Unroats, and the new grants de saze, with. out buttons. The only unkind thing said of this intelligent tmitation of dairy girls’ attire is that it is premeditated rusticity—a clever way of throwing dust into other people’s eyes. Let us sup- pose this to be true; still dust from a Wattean does not sv paintully bind as dust and tiusel from a Traviata. The bunch of hedge flowers on the top of high, fat-crowned hats is more winning under those yellow foulard umbreilas now used to sun of than the Spanish lady's mantilla, which keeps nothing of at ail, I aamit that the sylvan style is not novel; but Virgil's ecloques are old and ever charming. ‘There is not mach of this idyl m the real Ufe of republicans at Versailles, uhe famous orangerie there is the pleasure ground of captured fedvres, who are turned out every day for u walk under groves of those perfumed blossoms so dear to bitdes, There ts wisdoim in the selection of a per- fumed spot.

It was a matince and the sun poured in through stained winaows, tinting a very crowded audience with the shades of the rainbow. Never were autumn fashions seen to better advantage, especially as they were rich in clever combinations of color. The prettiest voilet of ali was a pale opal blue gros grain, With a silver moonlit ray on it. The bodice was square, and, like the sleeve, & la vietile (tight to the eibow and flounce), trimmed with a rich black velvet bow. The tunic was looped with bows of the same; the under petticoat was biack frilied poult. ‘The hat, of the bine, was a Waticau, with rose on one side, of three shades. The lingerie Was white lace run on the bare arm, encircled by a wide gold bracelet, and a face fali half concealed a throat of the same snowy white. An immense dias mond locket, hung on velvet, glitered on the bosom. ‘This costume is called ‘cloud lining.” A second elegant aress was a lavender train robe, with flounces on the cross up to the Knees, headed by frayed-out leather ruch this came a tunic le of aiternate insertion and worked Muslin. The slee responded with the tunic, coat shape. Under a high bodice of the same a Scarlet low bodice, without short sleeves, and on the waist behind scarlet bows to correspond, with frayed-out ends. The hat was 4 reduction of the Volonne Vendoine, a short piliar, withont rims, and a bunch of poppies, With a lavender all roand on the top. A third toilet was white poult, with a deep piaited founce for wader-petticoat, headed by & very elaho- rately worked wreath of roses In all colors; over Mis acrépe de chine tnvic, fringed with silk. The bodice was made with basqnes to correspond with the petticoat, and open in iront and behind in the shape of gentlemen's vests, round the opening a wreath of the embroidery, and iringe to match that on the tunic, ones sewn in the underbodtce, wiuch covered the back and bosom.
