The Brinley Mazarine Bible.

AT the meeting of the Connecticut His
torical Society, last Tuesday evening, in
Hartford, the chief interest gathered
about the exhibition of one of the rarest
and most valuable books in the world.
DR.. Trumbull brought out the Mazarine
Bible, belonging to the collection of the
late George Brinley. This is one of the
only two copies in America, and there are
only six in the world. 1t was printed in
1455. Two years ago two copies were
sold at auction in London, in the same
sale, and one, printed upon paper, brought
$4,000 gold. The other, on vellum,
brought 100000 gold. Usually a vellum
copy of any work brings four OF five
times as much as a paper one; but the
history of the Mazarine Bible raises the
value of the paper copies relatively to
those on vellum. Gutenberg printed the
first copies, in 1855, and all those were
on paper. In 1856 Faust got possession
of the types, and his edition was partly
on vellum. Those, consequently, are not
so completely original
The Briniey copy is on paper-one of
the genuine Gutenberg prints-and it is
q Hldi Cl VI viz piihoSi WIN leo SIuoi
could not he made to-day. The ink,
though four hundred years old and more,
is as distinct as ink could be, and the
paper is still white aud clear. The "reg-
lister" is perfect and the appearance of
the page far surpasses that of the best
modern books. The first letter of each
chapter is an illumination done by hand,
and there are frequently full-page illu-
limitations through the two volumes, also
done, of course, by hand. These are eX-
quisite specimens of work, and their
coloring is as fine and rich as it was
when put On-tiner in some cases than it
could be made now. The work is printed
in Latin, with number of curious con-
tract symbols in the text, used to space
the lines evenly. Three different ways of
the letter "S"-broad, moderate width,
and narrow-are examples of the care
taken in such respects. This volume was
probably bound about a hundred years
after its printing and must have been
hidden away for centuries iE some mon
astery. The Mazarinc Bible was the first
book printed with movable type. Its
date is not given, but was discovered by
means of certain marks upon the manu-
scripts found with one copy. The old
est dated printed book is marked
MCCCCLIX. The Watkinson Library
has a copy of this. A curious feature OF
the Brinley copy of the Gutenberg Bible
is that upon each page is faint pin
mark at the top and bottom. This solves
the hitherto inexpiicable problem of how
! the register had been made sO exact. tina
is, how exactly the matter upon opposite
sides of the same leaf had been made It
cover the same space, lines, and margins
corresponding precisely.-HarJord Cou

Romantic Marriage.

A romantic marriagawas that which
the father of the late Viscount Ashbrook
contracted with an Irish girl:
When very young ami residing with
his family in the Queens County he was
struck with the beauty of an Irish peas
ant girl, named Elizabeth Ridge, who
was in the habit of punting Y ferry boat
across a stream in the vicinity of Castle
Durrow. The youth enjoyed the society
of his water nymph, but carefully con-
cealed from his parents the impression
she had made upon him.
He then held an ensign's commission in
some regiment which was quartered near
the castle, but he was too young to
think of matrimony, nor was the object
of his affection either old enough or sui
ticiently educated to become his wife.
She had been reared among the Irish
peasants, had been unused to shoes
ana stockings, was scarcely acquainted
with the English language, and was I'M
informed in matters of the world; but the
young ensign fancied that, in spite OF
these disadvantages, he could perceive
an aptitude of mind and soundness of in
tellect, united with great amiableness
of temper, in addition to her personal
projections.
Under these circumstances, he con-
ceived the romantic idea of submitting
her to the superintendent of some re-
spectacle female, capable of rendering
her, through the influence of education,
an associate suitable to his wishes and to
his rank.
The ferry girl was accordingly placed
under the tuition of lady at whose
house Ensign Flower occasionally visited
her, and where he marked, from time to
time, her progress in polite accomplish
ments.
Elizabeth Ridge remained in this stu
alton about three years, when some do
nestle occurrences enabled the then Cap
tain Flower to reap the reward of his con-
stancy and honorable conduct by "A mat
rimonial union. And the daughter OF
the Emerald Isle became ultimately the
Countess of Ashbrook.

toned some trees which have been of
great value. A walnut tree at Potterville
sold for $1,000, the wood being highly
ornamental in beautiful waves, and it
was made into veneering. A black wal
nut at Brooktield, seven feet through,
sold at 81 200, for the same purpose, in
New York. Two thousand dollars were
refused for very large blistered walnut
at Saugatuck. At Grand Rapids black
cherry tree, with very dark wood, was
shipped to Central America, and from
there shipped back to this country and
sold as good mahogany.

The East River Bridge.

The large cables for the support OF the
East River Bridge are being slowly
stretched across, one wire at time. 1t
will take not less than eighteen months
to complete this work. 1t is seven and
half years since work was begun on
the piers, and apparently from five to
seven years more will be required to
complete the bridge. Ground has been
broken for the construction of the New
York approach to the bridge, which is to
be 1,562 feet six inches long, and four
years of steady labor will be required to
complete it. The Brooklyn approach
will not be more than half as long The
workmen are now engaged in digging
the foundation for the first foundation
wall and brick arches. These will be
placed directly against the anchor pier,
and, it is thought, will add to the
strength of that massive column Of work.
The ground between the anchorage and
the beginning of the approach will be
occupied by substantial building,
which will contain s:airways to give ac-
cess to the bridge and will also be oc-
cupied for business purposes. There will
be "a bridge over Franklin Square 50 feet
wide, 1875 feet long on the north side, and
about 140 feet long on the south side.
The bridge will be divided into two
spans. This will be the most important
of any in the entire approach. The
bridges over the other streets will have
ordinary plate girders, resting on the
abutments. Within the spaces between
the abutments, which will be enclosed by
walks running on each side of the APP
proach, are to be built massive supports
for the roadway. The spaces will be
lighted by arches in the abutments and
can be adapted for stores and warehouses.
The roof of the approach will be formed
by laying iron beams across the lOngi-
tudinal walls and connecting them oy
means of short brick arches into solid
platform. The roadway on this plat
form will be arranged rs on the main
bridge. There will he horse-car rails,
with the iron tramways alongside for
wagon heels. The trains of passenger
cars will be from 400 to 500 feet in
length, and will be operated by steam
engines in an underground room, be-
tween North William and Chatham
Streets. The expenditures in the con-
struction of the Bridge have already
amounted to $7,547,135. The entire ex-
pense is estimated at $13, 100000. When
completed, the work will be one of the
wonders Of this country, and, indeed, Of
the WORLDLY. Y. Independents.
