The Gutenberg Bible.

The Gutenberg Bible was the great feature
yesterday, 1t being except that in the Lenox
Library the only copy in America. 1t is in
two large folio volumes, and is supposed to
be a copy of the very first book printed with
movable types. For four centuries the book
lay buried in the obscure library of the Pre-
digerkirche. at Erfurt, where it was dis
covered some fifteen years ago DR.. Bruno
Stubel, the Leipsc antiquary was the first
to publish a description of it.
On reaching it in the catalogue Mr.. John
r. Bartlett bid So, 900 just to start it. Next
was heard s., 800 sc, 600; SO 800 ;tsG, $50; 81,
000. Then aftera long, pause 81, ,250; 81, 800 !;
81, $50; finally at 5000, and then another
pause, and the hammer fell. 1t was bought
by Mr.. Hamilton Cole, lawyer Of this city.
1t may be interesting to notice the prices
obtained for copies Of the Gutenberg Bible
sometimes msnamed the Mazarine. from the
discovery Of the first copy ever fully describ
ed in the Mazarine Library. DIR. Trumbull
furnishes some of the earlier prices in his
catalogue. In 1863, at the Gaignel sale a
vellum copy brought 2, 100 francs; in 1915,
the same copy, at the Mccarthy Keagh sale,
was sold TO Mr.. Grenville for 6,250f. The
Perkins Ga velum) copy, 18th two fac-simile
leaves, was bought by him in 1925 for E504 !;
in 1873 it was sold for 60, 400. The Duke Of
Sussex copy (paper) sold at Perry's sale for
fl6s in ls4l for fl90 and in 1853, at the
sale of the Bishop of Cashel, for E59G. A
third copy, at the Sykes sale, in 1854, brought
fI9g l0s.. and in 1873 its value had risen to

Queer Remedies.

Sir Walter Scots piper, John Bruce, spent
a whole Sunday selecting twelve stones from
twelve south-running streams, with the pur-
pose that his sick master might sleep upon
them and become whole. Scott was not the
man to hurt the honest fellows feelings by
ridiculing the notion Of such remedy prov
ing of avail: so he caused Bruce to be told
that the recipe was infallible, but it was abso-
lutely necessary to success that the stones
should be wrapped in the petticoat Of widow
who had never wished to marry again: upon
learning which the Highlander renounced all
hope Of completing the charm.
Lady Duff Gordon once gave an old Egyp-
tian woman powder wrapped in fragment
of the Saturday Review. She came again to
assure her benefactress that the charm was q
wonderfully powerful one, for, although she
had not been able to wash off all the fine writ
ing from the paper, even that little had done
her great deal Of good.

Last "Wednesday a stranger, who gave his
name as S. G. Reynolds, went to ID. A.
Buckley, real estate agent, of Cambridge
port, Mass. for the purpose of leasing a
house. The next day he went to the Cam
bridge National Bank, saw Mr.. Davis the
cashier. and tried to persuade him that they
were acquainted; and after further conver-
sation offered TO deposit a check for $4,000,
payable at Philadelphia bank, which was
endorsed by himself, Reynolds statements
concerning himself being so plausible that
he was allowed to draw money on the check,
being paid several hundred dollars. But a
few hours later a return telegram from Phil
adelphia announced that Mr.. Reynolds ac-
count was closed at the bank in that city,
and the police was at once put on his track,
but he has not yet been found.
