Editor.
A Yankee Trick.
Another and verv remarkable
exhibition of Yankee enterprise
has come to light through the pub
lication of the icvision of the Xew
Testament. With infinite care the
commission of revision kept the
result of their labors seci et. They
knew that they hud American pub
lishers to deal with and American
daring and energy lo encounter.
With a great show of desire for
absolute fairness all round they
arranged it so that the proof-sheets
of their labors should be given out
in England simultaneously to all
publishers, both British and Ameri
can, ignoring the fact that by this
arrangement, if it had been adopt
ed exactly according to their old
fogy notions, the Englibh printers
would have had eight or nine days
start on their American brethren.
A publishing house in New York
knew a tiick or two, and pro
ceeded to put them in practice.
Wceics before hand the selected
a perfect outfit of type and
cases, likewise a perfect force
of skilled compositors. They could
tell from the character of the work
the uality and quantity of type
that was needed, and the force
that was required to set up the
matter in a week. All this
knowledge was brought to bear,
and both men and material were
shipped to England by various
steamers, so that suspicion should
not be excited. Then necessary
space on a fast running steamer
was engaged without explanation
as to the use it should be put to,
and the typos were shipped as
ordinary passengers. As soon as
the coast of England was lost
sight of, and no chance of tele
graphic communication to either
end of the journey was possible,
the hired space was occupied, the
cases were set up, and the familiar
call of "copy"
ng from the
was heard issu
foi emaus lips.
When the steamer arrived in New
York from Liveipool she was met
by a horde of representatives oi
other publishing houses eager for
their "copy.1' The fornix belong
ing to one Live Yankee firm had
been stereotyped on board and
the type returned to it boxes.
The plates went up to the publish
ing house, and within twenty-four
hours the perfected books were
being issued to the newsdealeis by
the hundred thousand at a time.
Jt no doubt oost a heap of money
and much brains to conduct this
skillful operation; but it will pay,
and pay largely. "And why,' say
the adroit speculators, "should not
the word of God, according to the
latest revision, be profitable in a
temporal as well as a pi ritual
sense?" It is very likely that
copies of the American edition
will be sold in England before the
sleepy British printci.i get their
editions bound. And we are ofier
ing the New Testament from Tiik
AfiTOitiAN agency for a nominal
sum running from ten cents to
1 50 per copy to any who wish
it. See advertisement in another
column.
On the Sth an attempt was
made to effect the stock and grain
markets by means of a dispatch
from a western point announcing
the sudden death of Jay Gould.
The dispatch w;is stopped at. the
associated press office and the
dastardly scheme defeated. Sim
onton reports that the investigation
he has conducted shows that the
dispatch originated with a syndi
cate organized for the purpose of
disseminating false financial and
commercial news. He said that
the syndicate has its agents in
leading cities in the east and west
and London. News aercnts and
the business public need be on
their guard.
Adolph Albcrs, captain of the
steamer Silesian, Captain Gustavo
Meyer, of the steamer Ohio, and
Carl Wiegard, captain of the
steamer Salicr, were arrested in !
New York for carrying an exces
sive number of passengers." The
first named was held in 610,000,
the second $25,000 and the third
in 5,000, to await action of the
grand jury.
In the Ohio republican state
convention Foster was renominat
ed by acclamation. Senator Sher
man made a stirring speech as per
manent president.
Among tUe Nalnrnllsts.
Capt. Charles E. Bendire, of the
First cavalry, a scientist of wide
repute, is on a visit to Vancouver.
In about three weeks he will take
his company from the Walla-walla
barracks on a general tour o dis
covery, measuring streams east of
the Cascade mountains, resurrect
ing fossils from the vast beds in
the John Day country, in the in
terest of the Smithsonian institute.
Capt. Bendire has been twice
offered the command of the
government arctic expedition, but
having refused will probably be
selected to take charge of the ex
pedition up the great Yukon river
in Alaska. Tiie captain is now
giving the trout and salmon of our
country his especial attention, and
in his opinion, the famous red fish
of the Wallowa lakes is identical
with our blue-back silver-sided
salmon. Last Monday the Captain
visited Dr. Kaffcty in East Port
land and w:is surprised at the
excellence of his collection. Dr.
R. has two Albino grouse, killed
in Washington county, and which
arc very rare. His snakes, birds,
fish, Indian relics, fossils, minerals
and othcr'curiositics, were all ex
amined with great interest, many
of which were declared to be quite
valuable. Reference to Captain
Bendire as a naturalist would not
be complete, says the Standard,
without mentioning the fact that
his collection of birds eggs
is the largest and finest in
the country, and is valued at
810,000 a prize he intends some
day to present to Harvard college.
A dynamite mine has been dis
covered close to the Gatschina
railway station, Russia, connected
with a battery in the railway tele
graph oflico. All telegraph offi
cers have been arrested.
Senator Conkling is realizing
from the course of his old timo
friend, Charley Smith, of the
Philadelphia Press, that there is
no malice like the malice of a ren
egade. It is intended if possible to run
trains on the railway through the
St. Gothard tunnel by electricity
which i to be produced by ma
chines now employed in pumping
air into workings and for other
purpose.
The number of outrages in Ire
land i- increasing. The figures
stand as follews: January, -139;
February, 170; March, 1-10; April,
20G; May, o2T; and for the first
week in .lune, ending to-night, 99.
They include attacks on property,
attempted murder, cattle hough
ing, incendiarism and all other
ofl'euses traceable to ajrrarianism.
The Leather Manufacturers
bank has unearthed a systematic
plan of forgery for the purpoo of
defrauding banks iu distant parts
of the United States. During the
past year over a dozen forged
dralts have been presented at the
bank for collection. One was
presented on the Sth through the
Bank of New York, and another
through the Bank of Commerce.
They arc making the dirt and
moss agates fly, on the Oregon ex
tension of the Union Pacific
railroad from Granger. A few
days since a train of 25 cars left
Ogden carrying 175 horses, 100
men and 40 wagons, to work on
the Oregon extension. The line
has now a very lively appearance,
with the hundreds of men and
teams which are now working on
the grade. Rails and material are
being piled up at Granger, ready
for use as soon as the grade ib
ready for track laying. Track
laying will soon begin.
