An Gid Book.

The Davenport Gazette says that
Mrs. l. b. Riches, of that place, has,
"a her possession, an old Bible, which
was "Inpr,n ed at London By Ro5e,t Bar

and was now and then taking trip to
London to see Rare Ben Jonson.,
King James translators had not fin
ished their Bible. The print is ct old
English letter, with head and tail
rieces of most grotcSqae device. 1t
has marginal notes and references, and
contains an '.alphabet OF directions to
common place, containing ali the He

out the whole Bible, conducting to the

and other remarks the editor betrays
his great love for John Calvin. The
Apocrypla is included with the old

the early Bibles.
The binding OF this relic of former
generations, is of stiff leather, and time
is making havoc with it. there being
numerous holes in the backing and
sides. The old testament title page is
gone.
There is a family record between
the old and new tcstaments. The ink
has faded and the names ran hardly he
distinguished, yet such dates as 1919,
1922. 1880 are visible. And then OH
the other leaves the birth and death OF
Mrs Riches ancestors is recorded
from time to time till the year l776 is
reached, when all such record ceases
to appear in it.
The Bible has been in Mrs. Riches
possession ever since her marriage in
England, when her father gave it to
her, he having obtained it from his
father, and so OH back for two bundled
and more years.

income TAx-It isprobably not gen.
orally known that the tax OH income
will cease to be collected after next
year, unless the revenue law is so
amended as 10 extend it. An amend
ment to section ll9, the law adopted
1862 provides, That the taxes on in.
comes herein imposed shall be leviel
Oh the LIST day Of March, and be due
and payable on or before the 30th day
Of April in each year, until 1870, and
no longer Thercupon if Congress
hy special enactment, does not extend
the operation OF the law, the man
who has nothing but his income liable
to taxation need fear neither assessor
nor collector. The probabilities are,
though, that as the great debt is to be
paid, and the nation delivered beyond
peril, the law will be extended, and
all incomes over one thousand dollars
made to pay Uthes to tia. end.

THE BROWNLOWS AND THE

IiOn-What Parham did not Do, but

The sss mphIs Ledger Makes COrrec-
IiOn-What Parham did not Do, but
What he Knew.
We would be exactly right in every
palticuIar and would not, for the world
knowingly do any gentleman wrong. In
our statement in yesterdays issue, that
Mr.. Parham as Mr.. Rutter's agent had
paid the BroWnlOWs an amount of money
for services rendered in getting the School
Fund in possession, We were mistaken in
this. Not that Mr.. Parham himself had
paid, but that he knew that the Brown
lows had received about two thousand
dollars from Rutter. We will be minute
in every respect and not vary from
the truth one jot or little. We
would fsin hide our faces from the con-
tinued gaze Of the enOrmities of the
present crew who are now managing our
little ship of State. Do the people res
quire more proof that our immaculate
Governor received a share of the missing
fund If so, we have other equally
strong as the above, and without that can
convince any disinterested party that
the Brownlows received money from
Rutter about the time of the pending in
the Legislature of the resolution TO make
Rutter's bank the fiscal agent of the
State. We regret that ye loyal sons of
Tennessee should have fallen so low.
Surely you will not claim to be the most
patriotic people in the world after this
expose. Pray, brother Brownlow, for
the rocks and mountains to fall upon you
and your swindling party, to hide you
all from the eye of an outraged and
swindled people.-Memphis Ledger,

OTTAWA.
Execution of wheIan.

New YORK, Feb. 1.-THE Herald's
Ottawa special dated last night says
Whalen is penitent and resigned. Two
Sisters of Mercy and two Catholic
priests are with him constantly. They
administered the Sacrament to night.
No one is admitted to see him even
his wife had to say farewell through the
CRATE in the presence Of the Sheriff and
and jalors. Four soldiers are in the corri-
dor, fifteen in jail, the and battalion of
rifles is stationed around the Jail outside.
WhaleR has been moved to a lower cell,
as he could make signals to people out
side from the windows. He has not at
tempted suicide nor has his wife begged
his life OF the government. His written
statement says there were four present
at the murder, and exculpates Derriil
and Buckley; says he is sworn to Sc
cresy and will die rather than disclose.
The Fenians are rampant, having held
meetings and threatened to cheat the
gallows by shooting Whalen. A Mon
treal special to the Herald says the Fe>
mans are much excited and intended
demonstration to-day, but the author,
ties prepared to check it. Several Fee
mans have left for the United States.
OTTAWA, Feb. IL. The morning
opened dull, and was accompanied with
drizzling snow. The country people
began to arrive at an early hour, and set
about securing good positions to see the
scaffold and hear the last words Of
Whelan. Up to 9 o'clock there were
about three hundred people on the east
side of the Jail, and by 1880 the crowd
had increased to seven or eight thousand,
but all was quiet and orderly. At 10
O'Clock the prison physician reported
Whelan as in good condition and nerve,
and that no agitation or furry was no
ticeable in him. A shert time after, the
sheriff announced that every thing was
in readiness for the execution.
At IL O'Clock Whalen was pinioned and
accompanied by the sheriff and three
priests, led from the prison looking very
pale and excited, but he moved along
with firm step and mounting the stair
way to the scaffold, responding as he
walked, distinctly to the prayers of the
priests. After the pdter noster had
been repeated he said, beg pardon for
any offense / may have committed, | for
give all parties who have injured me, l
ask forgiveness from any one may have
| injured. God save Ireland and God save
my soul.
The executioner then fitted on the
white cap and drew it near his face, adj
iusted the rope, and in a few moments
the drop fell and Whalen hung by the
heck for four minutes suffering intensely,
and then breathed no more. 1t is rum
ored Whalen left writted paper in the
custody of the sheriff, the purPOrt of
which is not made public yet.

SAN DOMINGO.
The San Domingo AnneXat Project
Negotiations Opened with the Gov
H.. eFnmesaf

CEhAAEHN.
The manner in which the proposed an
nexatiOn Of St Domingo 10 the United
States was set on foot is being made
known NJ. Louis Paul Augenard, a res
ident Of St Domingo City, who arrived
Washington two weeks since, has waited
upon Mr., Seward, presenting credentials
from President Baez, of the Republic Of
San Domingo, according him plenary
power, 80 far as he and the Cabinet could
do so, to treat for the annexation Of that
republic to the United States The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune says:
The conditions of the proposed annex
alton, are the payment on our part of
the indebtedness Of that republic, amount.
ing to several millions, with full recOg-
milton of its territory and people as an
integral part of our own, and the estab.
lishment Of a territorial government
therein. The ultimate hope is that this
territory would become a State in the
Union President Baez's envoy claims
for the Dominican administration tina
the proposition is simple and frank, and
made in the interest of his own people,
the major portion of whom desire moth
ing so much as good order and peace,
while returning an enormous equiva-
lent to the United States. The pop
ulation of the republic is less than 300
900, while the territory is three-ffths as
large as Ireland, and could support TO-
100000. Their prosperity has declined
greatly under the depression and disor-
der produced by the Spanish occupation
and more recent petty revolutionary at
tempts. Mr. Seward received NJ Ange
nard cordially, entering at once into his
plans. The proteetorate of Gen. Banks
and the annexation resolutions Of Judge
Orth were supposed to have been put
forth to feel public sentiment The
committee on foreign affairs met on
Thursday morning informally, and
listened to statements from NJ Angenard
and Mr.. Schumacher, of Baltimore, who
acts as interpreter They gave an inter-
esting sketch of the present posture of
affairs in San Domingo, and urged the
proposal of President Baez as advan-
tageous to both countries. The COM
nnittee were much interested in the in-
formation, Gen Washburne being espe>
cially attracted by the statements made
of the vast mineral resources and fertil
ity of the island No action was taken
or suggested 1t is expected that in
few days another resolution will be pre-
scented in such a way as to bring on
discussion. Considerable interest is
manifested among members. 1t ap-
pears that before Judge Orths
resolutions were presented the Democrats
held a caucus and agreed to oppose their
adoption. Some of the more prominent
such as Woodward, Kerr and Pruyn, are
now moving for consideration Of this
action. Gen. Butler earnestly supports
the project, and is working energeticaly
to bring members to consider it favora-
bly,. The Dominican envoy expected TO
have completed his mission and started
home ere this. When he left st. Domins
go Gen. Baez was confident his proposal
would be accepted
