the contents of which the family lawyer
himself. unless he be an expert in black
letter lore, hardly pretends to under
stand. Colleges, cathedrals and other
venerable corporations abound in relics
Of this nature. Merton, at Oxford, has
In its stone imminent room bonds for
money bearing the seal of Edward the
Black Prince; and Balliol has similar
acknowledgements from John de Balliol,
King of Scotland.
Occasionally, too, treasures Of another
kind are thus hidden. Magdalen at the
same University, gave the bulk OF its
plate to aid the cause Of Charles l. But
about one hundred years ago, in an old
set of rooms which had originally been
occupied by one Of the Fellows, and had
since his death been left abandoned and
devoted to lumber, was unearthed a
strong wooden box, containing. amongst
some exquisite specimens of silver plate,
a small loying-cup, with cover of pure
gold. Similarity, at Mertan-a college
singularly rich in old memories and ira
ditions-wss found a perfect collection
of valuable pictures hidden between the
ceiling and roof. The room originally
had been covered by the pitched rafters
OF the roof itself, and the pictures had
been packed away upon the cross-beams.
Beneath the cross-beams q subsequent
occupant had constructed a level ceiling
OF the modern type, in happy or unhap-
py ignorance of the treasures which were
stored over his head. In like manner
the Thurloe papers were found in false
ceiling in some old garrets close by the
present chapel in Lincoln's inn; and
Montaigne's journals of his travels in
Italy, written in his own hand, were ex-
tracted from "an old worm-eaten Golfer
which had long held papers untouched
by injurious generations" It is need
less to multiply such instances. In very
many old English mansions and houses
it is true, sufficient search has been
made. But the antiquarian has still
abundant work ready if only he chooses
to undertake it. soE

hidden Treasures i'm old Houses.
[The Standard. ~ Id, -,t G.,

A century ago, when there were no
official records kept by the Registrar
General, family archives were often pre-
served in extremely ineonyenient Gre
vices and crannies., As a rule, all i'm
portant matters of ecclesiastical or semi
ecclesiastical interest, such as births,
marriages and deaths, were entered on
the fy1eaf Of the family Bible, and it is
to this day rule Of law to admit such
entries as undisputable evidence, rank
ing them along with entries in parish
register. Deeds, however, snch as title
deeds Of land, leases, copies OF entries
upon the rolls Of the manor, mortgages,
releases, and money bonds, were some
what more jealously guarded; and there
is many an old house in England which,
If it were thoroughly ransacked, would
be found TO contain treasures Of the most
valuable kind. There &re-'apart alto

Fine Weather For Ono.

Sheridan once declined to take a walk
with a troublesome feminine admirer,
on the plea that the weather would not

bold asseveration, eyes, madame, enough

IN NO CONDITION TO ADVANCE.

The second point for consideration is the
status OF the Confederate forces. As here
tofore shown FROM the official records, the
entire number of troops On the field, from
first to last, fell under thirty thousand; of
whom perhaps near two thirds, say $4,000
men, were In fighting trim on Monday
morning. Much may be done with an army
OF Is, 900 soldiers but this was not an
army. The men We're not soldiers. The
majority of them had not been on the field
more than four or six weeks; and a large
number had arrived within as many days.
Nothing like organization or military CO.
herency existed among them. They had
hurried forward from their several States,
regardless of order, arms, or equipment.
Some regiments used one kind of ammuni-
ton, other regiments another kind the Ell
feet of which can readily be seen. Few Of
the troops, except the Virginians, (who
were nearer home) had sufficient transpor-
tation to haul the necessary extra provision
and cartridges for field service. 1t will be
remembered the 9th North Carolina, after
fighting and marching all day land the pre-
viOus day. on empty stomachs, would have
gone to bed ~supperless, had not President
Davis himself issued orders for an informal
supply of their needs from other stores
Gen. Beauregard, in explaining the failure
of his orders for an attack upon Centreville
by the right wing, attributes it to the lack
of the higher degrees Of army organization.
There were no Major-Generals, or Division
Commanders: therefore each Brigadier con-
struded the orders from Head quarters pref
ty much after his own notions. These de-
tects which were apparent even while the
army stood upon the defence, behind the
set line of Bull Run, would have proved
fatal to success in an offensive movement.
requiring great CELEBRITY. concert, and vigor
of action. Had the order been given for an
advance on Monday morning, it is doubtful
if 1000 men could have been gotten into
line for although the casualties are placed
at 1000 the temporary depletion of the ranks
was double that number.
