Remarkably Minute Writing.

Disraeli, in his "Curosities of Litera-
ture, records the following, among
other instances of wonderfully minute
writing: Peter Bales, a celebrated cali
grapher in the reign of Elizabeth, ex-
hibited the whole Bible in an English
walnut shell no larger than hens egg.
The Harleian MSS, $50, give the fol-
lowing account of it: "The nut holdeth
the book; there are as many leaves in
his little book as the great Bible" This
"unreadable volume was seen by many
thousands" Huet proved that the
llliad in a nutshell, which Pliny
states Cicero to have seen. was by no
means an impossi bility; in fact, he DEM
onstrated that it could be done. A piece
OF vellum, about ten inches in length
and eight in width, plant and firm,
can be folded up and inclosed in the
shell OF q large walnut. 1t can hold in
its breadth one line which can contain
thirty verses, and in its length zoo lines.
With orow-quill, the writing can be
perfect. A page of this piece of vellum
will then contain 1900 verses, and the
reverse as much-the whole $4,000
verses OF the "Iliad." And this he
proved by using piece of paper, and
with common pen The thing is pos.
slble to be effected; and if, on any occa-
sion paper should be excessively rare, it
may be useful to know that volume of
matter may be contained ina single leaf.

The Philadelphia Bulletin of recent
date says: Robert Z. Preston, exau.in-
er in the Office of the director of the mint,
arrived in this city this morning, at the
instance of DR.. Linderman, to make an
investigation of the recent theft of about
$500 worth of silver by ole of tie ent.
ployees of the Philadelphia mint. The
party charged with the theft is man
named Charles Gerlach, who was ap-
pointed to the mint about two years ago.
He was employed in the department
where the silver is melted, and where
at least dozen hands are engaged. For
some time past the foreman discovered
that small quantities of silver filings and
clippings were missing but, attiotg d
dozen men, it was difficult to detect the
guilty party. Suspicion finally rested
upon Gerlacb, and it was noticed that he
was in the habit of standing with his
back against the metal box, in which the
filings from the bars OF silver fall, and
holding his fingers over the edge OF the
box. Then finger marks were noticed
among the filings, and as no one has the
right to put their hands there, the fact YVES
still stronger that something was wrong.
On examining Gerlach's working gar
ments, a good sized extra pocket was dis
covered i'll the pants, located in very
convenient position for dropping in the
silver. Some of the precious metal was
recovered in the bag AMI another. lot at
his home, whers Gerlach said it could
be found. Some of the silver clippings
were also found in the pockets of his
regular wearing apparel. So systematic
are the regulations at the mint that any
diminution in the Quantity of the
precious metals is easily detected, and
then must follow the discovery of the
guilty party

A correspondent gives this reminis-
oepce Of senator Morton in the Cincin-
natl Commercial /; One Of the pleasant
est occasions Of that visit to California,
when your correspondent had the honor
Of accompanying Senator Morton and
family, was trip to Virginia City'
Among other places OF interest We
visited was the Consolidated Virginia
mine. Very agreeable arrangements
we're made TO convey the Senator down
the shaft into the mine. The platform
was covered with canvas and seats were
provided for the party. At the last he
declined going ON account OF his wife
not being quite strong enough, but he
came and seated himself by the side Of
the shaft 10 witness the descent of other
members of the party. When l add
that the ladies were obliged to don a
complete suit Of male attire, some idea
will be formed of the undertaking. The
ladies' were three in number, two lovely
young girls, the daughter and niece OF
Senator Cooper, and an elderly lady,
Mr.. Mackey aud another gentleman
comprised the party. The costume Of
the ladies was dreadnaught overcoat
worn over blue flannel shirt and cloth
pantaloons. Heavy shoes aud a SLOUGH
felt hat completed the outfit. On ac-
count of the intense heat of the mine,
the overcoat was worn only in descend
ing and ascending the shaft, and in the
absence of suspender1 the pantaloons
were tied with tows string tightly
around the waist. The costume of the
gentlemen was not less striking, and no
one enjoyed its ludicrous aspect like
Senator Morton. He laughed immod-
erately, and had the patience to remain
seated until we returned, flushed with
heat and dripping with perspiration.
There was not the suspicion of curl
left in the locks of the young ladies,
and they looked as fresh and pretty as a
child just out of the bath. Senator
Morton, who relished the exit even more
than the departure, said they reminded
him of the old song of the rose just
washed by the rain.

Washington Before Congress.

The late Judge Burnet of Cincinnati,
who was present at the delivery of Wash
ington's message to Congress in 1896,
wrote the following description of the
dress and manners of the President on
that occasion :
"Soon after the members of Congress
were seated, the President, accompanied
by the cabinet and his private secretary,
entered the hall, preceded by a committee
of Congress, by whom he was conducted
to the speakers chair. He was dressed
in a suit Of rich black velvet, with black
silk stockings, and large shoe buckles
and knee buckles. According to the
fashion Of the day, his hair was combed
back from his forehead, powdered,
curled at the temples, and gathered be-
hind in a square black silk bag sus-
pended between his shoulders. A neat
dress sword hung at his side. The mo-
ment he took his seat every eye in the
hall was directed to and apparently riv-
eted on him, aud, although the house
was crowded to suffocation, it was as
still as the grave. + After
sitting eight or ten minutes the Presi-
dent arose, and bowling first to the mem
bers of Congress, who were Immediately
before him, and then to the surrounding
multitude, proceeded to deliver his adj
dress, which was written and open befor-
him, though he scarcely found it neces.
sary to look at it any time during the
delivery. He spoke with great delibera.
ton and with considerable emphasis.
The information Of his voice was solemn,
and his movements and gestures were
dignifed, but easy and graceful. -
