are the thief and aggressor. The welshers
also abound in every nook and corner
and do a good trade with young
men from the country II
sometimes goes hard, however, with the
members of this fraternity; for when a
welshed backer has pals. 0 support him,
and raises the cry of 'Welsherp if the
culprit escape without broken bones he is
lucky" "Welsher" is the turf slang name
for sneak who runs away with the
stake-money with which he has been in
trusted. In American slang he would be
termed ssbeat."
The Derby of 1879 is q memorable one
in the annals of the English turf, and in
deed, of racing all over the world, as it is
the hundredth anniversary of the famous
Epson Downs. 1t is curious that within
a few years of each other the three great
races of England the Derby, the Oaks,
and the st. Leger- will have celebrated
their centenaries.- The last nance, though
it did not receive its title until two years
after its establishment, is the Oldest Of the
three, having been first won in 1776 by
Lord Rockingham's Allabacuria. The
Oaks, which was won first by Lord Der
by's Bridget in ITS, completed its one
hundredth year last season. The Derby,
first won by Sir Charles Bunburg's Dio-
med in 1880, becomes hundred years
old now.

| Ously living in Paris, gave rise to the le-
gend of s,The Devil and DR.. Faustus.'
Faust was cast into prison, and would
probably have been put to death had not
the king interfered in his behalf, and re-
leased hlm on condition that he would
divulge his secret.
In the sixteenth century these Bibles
had disappeared from the market. They
had become not only obsolete, but they
had been forgotten. About the middle
of the seventeenth century Gabriel
Naude, librarian to Cardinal Mazarin,
discovered one of these Bibles among
some of the reckless purchases he had
made. Fanklin says that Naudc bought
books by wholesale. After an examina-
tion Of booksellers shelves, he would

feet of medicine, etc, with apparent
{ y little regard to the quality of the books.
"When he left the shop, wrote Franklin,
Hit looked as if it had been, visited not
by a book buyer, but by a hurricanes .
His knowledge of books enabled him to
identify this as the vertiable work of
Gutenberg. He published description
Of it which attracted attention. Most OF
his readers were of the opinion that this
was the only copy that bad been pre-
served, and it thus received the name of
the Mazarin Bible.
From that time the price of the book
has steadily advanced. The subsequent
discovery of few other copies, so far
from diminishing, has really added to
the value of each. Sections, leaves and
fragments have been sold at prices that
seem preposturous. What is singular,
too, the copies on paper sell for nearly as
much as those upon vellum. Usually a
vellum copy Of any works brings four or
five times as much as the paper one; but
from the fact already stated, that the
copies on paper were those first printed,
they are regarded as more completely Or
iginal than those printed Immediately
afterwards on vellum.
No less than fifteen copies OF this BIZ
BILE, six on parchment or vellum and nine
On paper, are still extant. Of the former
one copy is in Leipsic, in Germany; one in
the Royal library at Berlin, and one was
sold for e3, 400 at the sale of the Stevens
library, in London, in 1878, and we pre-
sumo still remains in England. Of those
on paper, the cities OF Frankfort, Leipsic,
Munich, Vienna and Paris each has one
One copy was sold at the Stevens sale in
London, already alluded to, and brought
e2,690; and three are in this country.
One of these, belonging to the collection
of the late Mr.. Geo. Brinley, was exhibit
ed by DR.. Trumbull at the meeting of
the Connecticut Historical society, in
Hartford, in 1875; one is in the Lenox IL
brary, at a cost of $2,G50; and one is the
of Mr.. David Wolfe Bruce of
New York City, for which that gentleman
paid $21 900 at the sale of the Perkins
collection; the highest price ever paid for
a book, either written or printed. This
leaves three copies on vel .um unaccounted
for, but this is as far as our information

What, them should they do2 They
should make up their minds boldly to
face the hard times, and should prompt
ly commence active life with "a courage
equal to the emergency. They must re-
double their industry, be more self-deny-
ing and rigid in their economy, more
diligent in their calling, in every way,
to give satisfaction and attain promo
ton.
All their privations, all their hardships,
endure but for seaaon; for the requisite
effort, though greater now than it used to
be, will in time secure its reward.
Again, it should be borne in mind that
though the times are less propitious now
than they used to be for the rapid ac-
emulation of a fortune, they are not less
favorable to the formation of high and
heroic character; and. character, always
stands far above fortune.

A Palpable Hit.

Not long ago, IN a country town, a bar.
rister was examining lady witness, who
would talk, and who would not let any of
the lawyers quibbles get the better Of
her. The forensic advocate grew irate
at the old lady's loquacity, and, as she
stepped down after her badgering, re.
marked, tYou see, your Honor, these ola
women will talk. They are very trouble
some, and will waste the time OF the
court" His Honor looked up, relieved
himself with one of his peculiar sighs,
and replied, "Ah, Mr.. there are

A Broken Heart.

Miss Prince was the only daughter of
Pittsburg merchant, and two years ago
was welded to MIR. Savage, Of Baltimore.
Six hours after the ceremony the train
upon which they had started on their
bridal tour was wrecked, and the hus-
band of less than day was killed. The
shock of the terrible calamity robbed the
Young wife for time of her reason.
From this mental death she recovered to
go into slow decline. All the blossoms
of her life were whitening, and the world
once so robed in beauty and delight be-
came prison from which her spirit long
ed to be free. They took her across the
sea, but the panorama of scene and Incl
dent had no power to renew the love OF
life, and the young thing faded as flow
er fades. At last they took her to the
south of France, and there amid the
bloom of fowers--on the spot where
Petrarch once sang songs to Elvira-in
the home of Leonardo da Vinci's exile.
this fair American girl found the peace
full quiet of the grave. Our correspond
ent who relates the incident draws a
vivid picture of the ssrrowing family
around the death bed. The father over
whelmed with grief, the mother wild
with despair, while young sister clasp

pallid face and rigid lips into the glazed
eyes.

BRIGHAM's DAUGHTER -in-LAW
Visiting Friend in Newark and Talking
About Her Strange Life.

i From the New York Sun
! Libbie Garfield, the first wife of John
w. Young, the eldest son of the deceased
Mormon prophet, Brigham Young, was
in Newark last week visiting a former
schoolmate. On Saturday afternoon she
started for Salt Lake city. She has pc
tite figure, profusion of black hair,
brilliant black eyes, an olive complexion,
and is an intelligent and pretty woman.
She is native Of New Jersey, but she
first met Young in Philadelphia, where
her parents now reside. She hesitated
long before consented to become the wife
of a Mormon. Her parents are Presby-
terians, and she was an adherent Of that
faith. She at length married him with
the understanding that he would
not marry a second wife. She lived hap.
|pily with her husband until the death OF
his father, who decreed on his deathbed
that his son should take another wife.
The Mormon apostles subsequently con.
firmed this decree, and Young obeyed.
When his wife heard that he had decid-
ed to marry again she separated from him.
Since that time she has frequently visited
her parents in Philadelphia, although she
has fine home in Salt Lake City. While
visiting in Newark Mrs. Young said that
her husband had always treated her kind
ly, and that she pitied him. He did not
want to marry second wife, and he was
forced by the polygamists to do so, in
order to show the Mormons that he was
"a true disciple of his father Mrs.
Young also said that her life in Salt
Lake City had intensified her hatred of
polygamy.
When she separated from her husband
they parted good friends, and he has ever
since been anxious for her welfare. She
has large farm in the suburbs of Salt
Lake City and has the custody of her
children Her husband is now living in
Arizona with his second wife, whom he
never appears with at public receptions.
During the years that Mrs. Young lived
with him he seldom attended a public
assemblage without her, and when Jay
Gould, Sidney Dillon and other conspi-
cuous men visited Utah he introduced
them to her. When she started from Salt
Lake City last February to visit her pa
rents he sent an agent to her with money,
lest she might need it before her return.
She said that he frequently wrote to her,
and that she believed he felt the pain of
their fated separation as much as she. In
the past few weeks she stopped with her
friends at Atlantic City, and she returns
to Salt Lake City to superintend the col
lection and shipment of the wool from
her many head of sheep. She person
ally manages her farm. She expects to
return East next fall, and, after a short
stay, go to Europe. The nnInesf of her
boys are Brigham, Richard, John, and
"Tot," the baby.

How to Deal with Hard Times.

Young men complain that the oppor-
tunities for one just starting in life, with
his own fortune to make, are not what
they were few years ago. And his COM
plant is well founded. There was a
time when it seemed as if money grew
on every bush. This is not the case now
by any means. Indeed, it has become
rather difficult to find the bushes on
which the money grows.
The depression in business has lasted a
good while. AS to the length Of time
it will still continue men Of intelligence
differ widely in opinion. Some improve
ment has already taken place. Still,
times are far from being flush as .hey
used to he, and the uncertainty of the
future is too great for young men to sit
down in idleness, fold their hands, aud
