A BATTLE OF THE BOOKS.
Publishers CuttipE Down The Prices Of
Legal Tones Heretofore Very High.

PHILADELPHIA, March ga new battle
of the books mas begun to rage, and lawyers,
young aad old, are reaping the benefits of
the strife. For years the old Supreme Court
reports, upon which the copyright monopoly
had expired, have been sold at fancy prices,
some OF the series being held as high as IS a
volume. 1t wss rare when any of the books
could be purchased for less than S.. The
ownership Of the plates being controlled by a
few persona, and msny OF the reports
hsviog passed out of pria., the monop-
oily has long been a profitable one. Re-
csntly law-book publisher circulated pros
pecius, in which he agreed TO furnish siIty-
one volumss, including all the old reports,
for $50. 1t was his purpose, go it is said,
10 have new plates made. To head him off
the owners of the old plates have made such
arrangements with other publishers as 10 en-
able them to offer the complete Get for Sl2S
10 addition to this the reports from "1s. Barr
to lat Odierbridge," which are still protected
by copyright, are now beiog offered al g a
volume, while heretofore the cheapest of
those books were cold Tor So so. All this
indicates that the Supreme Court reporters
benauza has been shaved down and young

PARIS, March THE new opera of Henry
VII, by Saint Saens, was produced at the
Grand Opera last night. The iibretto is by
Detroyat and Armand Sylvester, the latter an
old feilow-worker of Saint-Saens in Journal
ism. 1t is, broadly speaking, founded on the
tragedy Of Shakespeare, but it follows this
only at a remote distance, as might be ex-
pected from a work intended to meet e1igen-
cies of opera and OF modern French taste.
Ia the opening we learn that Henry" has
N ,de up his mind to divorce from "Cath-
crime of Aragop," and is impstiently ait
ing the return OF ais ambassador to the Pope
"Mistress Anne Boleyn" has caught the roy al
eye, and. as an excuse for keeping her at
court, his majesty has appointed her aid OF
homer to the Queen. Catherine" receives
her without suspicion, thinking she has been
brought there only to give her an op
portuuity OF meeting the Spanish am
bassador, who is known TO be very
much in love with her. At length
the messenger returns from the Pope with a
point blank refusal Of the divorce, and
"Heury" at once shows his hand by creating
"Anne" countess of Pembroke as a mark of
his particular favor and declaring that he
will be his own judge in the divorce suit.
The % aid of honor Is radiant with 10y at
the prospect rapidly unfolding itself 10 her
when she hears from without the fuuereAl
strains of band playing Buckingham, one
of the first of the hayward tyrani's victims,
to the scsffoId II is an omen for her and
terror for all, and the frst-act curtain falls
effectively on this situation, which is the
germ of the whole piece. "Henry" supports
bis demand for a divorce on the ground
that his n marriage With deceased brothsr's
| wife was illegal according to Old Testament
lsw-it is Moses versus the Pope. Mean
while, the lesate of his holiness arrives, but
Henry" on one pretext or another, re-
fuses 10 receive him, and orders presentations
to be made for what he is pleased 10 call the
trial of the case in Westminster Hall. This,
as may be imagined, ms axes a splendid scene
the grand old Parliament House, the King
and Queen, the judges, the great dignitari.s
of the kingdom and the gusrds, all in the
costume of the time. All the reason is on

would aggregate nearly s., 1000, 900. Another
large transaction was made at Dallas, Tex,
being the purchase by W. E. Hughes, late OF

Who brings to the altar with blossoms gayl
A Rose of JerichoG
Born under the pale December ray,
Two thousand years ago
To herald the dawn OF q perfect day
II bloomed amid Christmas snow.
Fe2rlessly up from Its chilly bed,
This flower frail and white
Has opened its heart te the wind that sped
Through the bleak midwinter's night
TIL, pure and perfect, 1t lifts its head :.
In the dEvnlng Easter light
Who lay. on the altar. this Easter day,
This flower of perfect peace?
Have We hid iIs roots from your sight away,
In the ashes of slothfuiness,
Bidding them molder and decay,
AS your sands OF life decrsassc
Have We thrown them down upon stony ground
While the rank and poisonous weed
The mold in its assures dark has found,
And ayarice. lust and greed
Their snske-like tendrils have clasped arounC
Choking the goodly seed Z
Dead, it seems-but it only sleeps
This Resurrection flower
Deep in its heart, a life germ keeps,
Waiting the charmed hour
When he who holds it shall sound the deeps
of Loves all-potent power.
Wake, thou sleeper, visions lent
To slumber are but vain;
Work, thou sluggardl hours misspent
But yield thee years of pain;
Work that thy tioweTS of sweet content
In time may bloom again.
Water its roots with timely showers
OF Penitence deep and true,
Aoisten its leaves and budding flowers
With PHYS sparkling dew,
Watt soft winds from Charity's bowers
To quickenits ssps anew;
Shedding his healing beams around,
Bid Loves warm sun arise:
Child of Pleasure! in earth chains bound
This Rose of Paradise
Springs only up from the stony ground
OF stern seH-sacrihce.
