Fortunes Made by the
War.

An exchange contains the IN
formation that an extensive hotel
block, which will rent for $4,75O
per month, is being built in Lam
sing, Michigan, by an officer prom
inent in the Government detec-
tive service, who was not worth a
dollar at the commencement Of
the war. The Louisville Journal
in copying the item, adds the fol-
lowing still more remarkable case:
"a highly respectable member
of the New York bar told us some
time since that a certain Colonel,
a brothe, of o certain Major Gen.
eral in the service of the United
States, who had beenidown South
about six months, was found to be
worth, upon his demise, seven
million dollarsl 1t was not
known that he was worth anything
when he went prospecting down
South. Is it any wonder that cer-
tain cliques and persons should ex-
hibit such manifest disgust at the
sudden closing of the war, or that
they would evidently submit to a
prolongation of it with such for
? titude and Christian resignation

been 30 thoroughly deceived BY
the manner of the advocate, ano
the little Importance he hae
seemed to attach to her statements
that she had been led on, by one
question to another, till she hae
told him all he wanted to know
She was obliged to be taken from
the court, and physician whe
was present was requested to at
tend her. At this time the solic-
itor for the prosecution-answer-
ing to our States Attorney-left
the court, but no one knew for
what purpose. Presently the
physician came into court, and sta
ted that it would be impossible for
the housekeeper to resume her
seat in the box short of an hour
or two.
1t was almost twelve in the day.
Lord Mansfield, having directed
that the jury be accommodated
with room, where they could be
kept by themselves, adjourned the
court two hours. The prisoner,
in the meantime, was remanded
to jail.
1t was between four and five
o'clock, when the Judge resumed
his seat upon the bench. The
prisoner was again placed at the
bar, and the housekeeper brought
in and led to the box. The court
room was crowded to excess, and
an awful silence pervaded the
place. .,.cos.a s,,.tayy
The cross-examining counsel a.
gain addressed the shousekeeper:

At that moment the solicitor
entered the court, bringing with
him upon a tray, q watch, two
money-bags, a, Jewel case, and
bottle of the same manufacture as
the stopper, and having q cork in
it. The tray was placed on the
table, in sight of the prisoner and
the witness, and from that moment
not "a doubt remained in the mind
Of any man present of the guilt
of the prisoner. regf ~ edf
A few words will bring this mel
archcly tale to its close. The
house where the murder had been
WAS between nine and
ten miles distant. The solicitor,
rs soon as the cross-exaInination
Of the housekeeper had discovered
the existence Of the closet, and its
situat on, had set off ON horseback
with two sheriff''s officers, and af-
Ter pulling down a part OF the
wall of the house, had detected
This simportantconcealment. Their
:earch was well rewarded; the
whole of the property belonging
to Mr.. Thompson was found there,
amounting in value to some thou
sand pounds; and, to leave no
room for doubt, a bottle was dis
covered which the medical men
instantly pronounced to contain
tie very identical poison which
had caused the death of the unfor-
tunate Thompson. The result
was too obvious to need explana-
lion.
1t need hardly be added, that
Smith was convicted and execu-
ted, and brought to this awful
punishment by his own means.
Had he said nothing-had he not
persisted in. calling a witness to
prove lis innocence, he might have
escaped But God had evidently
left him tolwork out his own ruin,
as a just reward of his awful
crime. 9d n .lf l,.gBt

Rev. Dr. Duffeld, of Detroit,
Michigan, owns the oldest Bible

procured it of q Greek monk, who
brought it from the Greek convent
of St. -Catharine, at the foot of.
Mt. Sinai. Mr.. Cass befriended
this monk, who was In trouble,
and he, in return, presented him
with the volume referred to. Ac-
cording to his story, it is the work
of one of the ancient monk stribes
in the convent above named.
When it became known that Mr..
Cass was leaving with it, and that
1t was going out of the country,
the round sum of $1,000 was Of

the city Of Rome. q 1t is a book CT
six hundred pages, made entirely
OF vellum, and the printing is all
done by hand. with pen and ink.
Every letteris perfect in its shape,
and cannot be distinguished, by
any imperfections, from the print
ed letters of the present day. The
shape of the letter is, of course,
different from those now in use,
but in no other respect can they
be distinguished from printed mat
ter. A Detroit paper says of it:
The immense amount of. labor
may be conceived from the fact
that there are two columns on
each page, each of which lacks
only. about six letters OF being as
wide as the columns of this paper.
They will average sixty lines to
the column. The columns num-
bering about |, 200, we have about
$4,000 lines iu the whole book.

accomplish such a work. a,5e.r

$50 years. before printing was In
vented, and, is 9S5 years old,
There is probably nothing ON this
continent, in the shape of a book,
equal to it in age a The ivellum
upon which it is printedis Of the
finest, kind and is made of the
skin of young lambs and kids,
dressed and rubbed with puniee
stone until it is very thin 1t is
somewhat thicker than common
paper, being a medium beiween
that and the drawing paper now
in use. The fine veins in thes
are distinctly visible inoinany pfa-
ces.G "A pencil mark was drawn
by the operator to guide the con-
struetion Of each line. Many pa
ges have these lines visible on
their whole surface, nc effort being
made to rub them out. Two lines
running up and down divide the
columns with mathematical accu-
racy. At the beginning of each
chapter, highly colored ornament
al letters are placed. These are
the only marks of the division Of
chapters. There are no subdivis-
ions into verses, the chapters run
ming through in one para graph to
the end, and no descriptive head
ings.
