AFFAIRS IN KANsAs.-We find before us vari-
Gus paragraphs in regard to the unsettled con-
dition of affairs in this Territory. One paper
states that DIR. Robinson was doubtless elected
Governor under the Constitution framed at To-
peka. 1t states that the vote was full, except
st the several places on the Missouri river
where the people RETAINED from voting for fear
of the Missourians. The Kansas Herald of
Freedom of the 10th December states that the
ticket for State officers having been chosen, the
Free State Government will be organized on
the 4th of March. A correspondent of the
New York Times states that Mr.. Roberts, the
competitor of DIR. Robinson for the Office of
Governor, was the regular nominee for Lieu
tenant Governor; but, as he accepted the NOM
nation of the opposition for the higher Office,
the regulars scratched him for the lower one,
substituting the name Of Mr.. Parrot, and it is
row thought that he has lost both offices. The
correspondent writes that generally, as far as
heard from, the members elected to the Legis-
lature are in favor of the black law-that is, for
excluding free negroes, and inclined to "fogy-

tism.

CENTRAL AMERICA Washington, FEB. T.
In connection with the long-standing discussion
relative to the affairs of Central America, and
the question of coasting limits between Costa
Rica and Nicaragua, a new claim has been put
in by New Grenada, laying pretensions to the
same boundary which Costa Rica claimed
through the instrumentality of the late Felipe
Molina, who published an interesting and COM
prehensive work on that subject.

A Cosby BIBLE.-Thursday being the sew
enth DAYS sale of the extensive and valuable Ii
brary of the late Mr.. John Allison, OF Bolton,
by Mr. James Lomax, of the firm of Messrs. Lo-
max & Sons auctioneers, the room was crow
dcd. Lot 1903 in the catalogue was the cclc-
brated Bowycr Bible, folio, morocco, illustrated
with many thousands of engrdvings contained
in a richly carved antique oak cabinet, Mr.. Lo-
max in offering it stated that Mr.. Bowyer, whose
name was familiar to literary men, was the pub
Usher of many important works, which were
to BIO found in most valuable libraries. In the
year 1900 Mr.. Bowyer determined to publish
copy of the Bible which, for cost and magnlttcence
should stand unriyalled in the annals of litera-
turc. He producad two folio copies-one of
these was in the British Museum, in seven vol
nmes; the other he resolved to illustrate in a
manner far surprising anything of the kind ev-
or attempted. This task he undertook and per-
formed, though at the commencement he could
have had but faint idea of the enormous labor
aud expense of such an undertaking,
The number of years in which MIR. Bower
was occupied in collecting the cngravings, which
illustrated almost every chapter of this sacred
book, exceeded twenty-four, and the whole when
completed extended to forty five volumes, which
were elegantly bound under his own superinten=
dence. The work was illustrated by at lcastsix
thousand engrayings, executed by aboutslx hun
drcd of the most celebrated cngrayers, and from
! the works of eminent artists from the year 1850
to the time of its completion. The book, there
fore, was the work ola life. The cost of the en-
cravings was So, 300; to which there was to be
added tho printing and binding, and el50 for the
oak cabinet, making a total cost offour thousand
guineas At the leth of Mr.. Bowyer this SPLEEN
did work became the property of'his family, and
few years ago it was disposed of, on behalf, of
Mr. Bowyer's daughter, By Mr.. Parkes, of Lon
don, in lottery Of four thousand subscribers of
one guinea each The late Mr.. Atkinson, having
heard Of it, was anxious to possess it, and ulti-
matcly purchased it through the agency of a
gentleman Of Manchester. After the purchase
Il was removed TO the premises of Mr. More
land, Of Manchester. where the public were
admitted to a private inspection of it
The gentleman who was the owher had been
advised to offer it for competition in the me-
tropolis, but he was anxious that the gentlemen
of this district should have an opportunity of
entering the list of competitors, in the hope that
one of our opulent residents might be. enabled
to place it within the walls of his mansion. Mr..
Moreland, of Manchester, started the bidding
with 94O0. The next offer was ESQ, by Rob-
ert Haywood, Esq, of the Pike, Bolton. This
was followed by e500 from MeSsrs. Upham and
Beet, of London. Mr.. James Catterall, of Boil

work was knocked down Robert Haywood, Esq,
