Mr.. Fry, of Bristol, England, is engaged in
making collection of the provincial words used
by Iyndale, in an exceedingly rare edition OF
his New Testament, printed in the year 1884 or
1885. The edition is supposed to have been
printed at Antwerp when Tyndale was in prison
at Vilvorde, and is remarkable for containing
such words as faether, mother, brother, macs
ter stoene, comes, thoese, sayede whorse flor
worse) behoelde, &c. From the spelling of
those words, it is thought Tyndale issued this
edition expressly for the use Of the ploughboys
and husbandmen of Gloucestershire and in
furtherance of the resolve expressed by him at
the commencement of his career, when disputing
with bigoted priest, he said: aft God spare my
life, ere many years l will cause a boy that
drivcth the plough to know more of the Scrip
lures than you doP'
Romancers never recorded more ardent love
than that borne by the wife of George Hyer an
Illinois horse thief to her husband. Sentenced
to the penitentiary for five years, she chung to
him none the less devotedly, and giving her
children to her mothers care, followed to Joliet
TO see him as often as possible, and welcome him
TO freedom. She can see him but once in two
months, and then but two or three minutes in
the presence of n guard. She can write to him
as often as she peases, but he can reply only
once month. After learning these facts, the
sheriff tried to get her to return TO her family
near Peoria; but her resolution was firmly taken.
She had given up home and children to be near
her husband, and there she determined to stav,
at whatever sacrifice.
The other day New Orleans detective ar
rested man on suspicion of having stolen a
valuable diamond pin. Being hard pressed, the
thief owned up, and surrendered The Jewel to
the officer, who placed it in his shirt bosom. On
the way to the lock up the officer and prisoner
got on board horse-car, and in doing so the
former was considerably iOstled by crowd on
the platform. Just then the prisoner whispered
IN his ear: Look out captainl that was a thief
who passed you just now" The officer glanced
hurriedly at his shirt front. The pin was gone
He sprung from the car and started in pusuit of
the imaginary thief. 1t is needless to say he
was not to be found; and when he returned his
former prisoner was missing also. The next
day the vigilant ( y detective had his already
overweight feelings lacerated anew by the re-
ceipt OF pencil line saying: Captain, Pm
gone; take the pin with me- 1t was too nice
to give up"
A process called foremanizing flor preventing
the decay OF timber, by sprinkling it while green
with powder composed of corrosive sublimate
arsenic and common salt, has been used in the
erection of railroad depot at st. Louis with la
mentable results. A large number of the work.
men were poisoned, and four or five died from
the effects of inhaling the composition. A post
norton examination of one of the victims
showed his stomach to be fearfully liberated,
while his lungs and liver were nearly DESTROYED
by assesses, the right eung being one mass of
corruption. The unfortunate man was first at
tackled with ulcerous sores and blisters, then ex.
perenced great difficulty in breathing chronic
diarrhea followed, and he finally died. Many of
the surviving wOrkmen are said to be permanent
ly injured, and eleven of them have brought suits
against the railroad company, laying damages
at $4,000 each. If the inventor of this danger
GUS process had possessed a scientific knowledge
OF the effects OF the powerful agents he used,
such disaster would not have occurred.
