A yale Aysteryzz1h Hidden BAole
In1761, when that. college build
ing known as the Atheneum was in
course of erection, some daredevil
student stole the chapel Bible, and
skillfully inserted it within the half
built walls. The next morning the
masons went on with their work,
and the book was apparently en-
toomed forever. An entry in Pres
ident Stiles diary informs us Of the
loss of the Bible, and a few years
later is followed by another, COM
memorating the fact that the thief
ish student, smitten by remorse, had
sent word where he had concealed

cover 1t, and nothing was said or

DEATH OF ANsoN BURLINGAME

A cable dispatch from St. Peters
burgh, Russia, Of the Esd inst, an
nounces the death of Hon. Arson
Burlingame. Mr. Burlingame was q
native of New York, having been
born in New Berlin, Chenen@o Co. in
1922: he was therefore 48 years of
age at the time Of his death. He re
ceived part Of bis education at the
Branch University of Michigan, but
subsequently went to Harvard, gradu-
ating there in 1916. After leaving
college he studied law and entered up
on its practice In 1854 he wa.
elected to Congress from Massachusetts
and represented his district for six
consecutive years.
Mr.. Burlingame bore prominent
part in the campaign of 1856, and
made number of stump speeches in
the western states during that time.
But he became principally noted for
his celebrated challenge TO Preston S
Brooks, the champion bully of South
Carolina, in which he offered to fight
with rifles loaded with ball at thirty
feet But Mr. Brooks declined the
offer, fearing to meet the unerring aim
of Mr. Burlingame. This Brooks, it
will be remembered, is the man who
made the cowardly assault on Senator
Sumner a short time before.
Mr.. Burlingame was appointed min
lister to Vienna during the admins
tration Of Mr.. Lincoln, but was after
ward transferred to China. Acting in
the capacity of our ambassador for a
few years he returned to this country
as special ambassador of the Chinese
Empire, and up to the time of his death
was actively engaged in the diplomatic
service Of that country.
Mr. Burlingame was man possessed
of considerable talent, and a pleasing
orator. In social life he was genial
and fascinating and his death must be
regarded as calamity to the civilized
world.

S ALE OF CRDETsHIPs.

Whittemore, one Of the members of
Congress from South Carolina, was &C.
cused short time ago of selling cadet
chips for several thousand dollars each.
and the proof against him thickening,
he was called before the bar at the
House to answer to the charge. He
wiggled and twisted, and finally plead
ed guilty to the direct charge, but to
extenuate his guilt he put in the plea of
deVoting the money he thus Obtained,
for charitable purposes. The House
hardly considered this a reasonable ex-
cuse and proceeded to the business Of
expelling him from among them. W en-
he begged to have his brother mem
bcrs give him only one day to procure
rebutting testimony, which was granted,
and taking advantage of the armistice
he Immediately telegraphed his resig-
nation to the Governor of his State,
which vas almost simultaneously ac-
cepted, and Mr.. Whittemore escaped
the disgrace of expulsion, although 9
must go back to his constituents de-
graded. But Whittemore is not the
only member guilty of this practice
which has come UP to lower our
Congress in the eyes OF the world.

THE CAPITOL REMOVAL.

A high state of public feeling has been
aroused within the past few weeks
in many portions Of our State over
the question of removing the
capital from Madison to Milwaukee.
For few years past there has ap-
peared a growing disposition in the
minds of the people in favor Of re
moVing the capital away from Madison
to some other point with better accom-
modations. Part of our legislature
seems to be terribly in earnest about
the matter this year, aud it is thought
that if pressed to a vote the PROPOSE
ton would be carried. The Milwaukee
people have rendered the new splendid
Court House now in course Of erection
IN that city for the purpose Of capt.
tol.
Alarge and enthusiastic meeting was
held in Milwaukee on Saturday eve-
ming at which some members of the
Legislature spoke strongly in favor of
selecting Milwaukee as the place for
the capital, and delegation was ap
pointed to visit Madison and look to
the matter. The people of Milwaukee
seem to be prepared TO do what may be
reaonably expected of them in case
the Legislature decides to make the
change. and it IS by no means IN
likely that they viii finally accomplish
their object, although we hardly th nix
t WILDE this year, or next, bat it is
evidently only question Of time.
