NOTWITHSTANDING the great ravagcs Of
the cholera in Spain, the disease bas as
yet not gone outside of the provinces in
which it made its appearance last year. A
New York paper says:
These are southeastern provinces on the
Mediterranean, and about n year ago they
suffered prolonged and disastrous inunda-
tions. Misery. poverty, filth and neglect
of even the M sanitary measures
followed the foods, and then malaria in
It's many forms, dysentery aud Upheld

Mr. McMAsTERs declares in his new
history of the United States that the story
of Thomas Jefferson riding alone up the
capitol hill, and tying his horse to the
picket fence, on his Inauguration day, is a
pure fiction. As a matter Of fact, the
great apostle Of Democracy and simplicity
made his way to the capital surrounded
by a crowd of citizens and a troop of
militia, beating drums and bearing flags"
and, when he mounted the steps, the
shouts of the multitude and the roar Of
cannon rang in his ears

A prayer-book, prepared by Queen
Eli abeth's own hands about 1881 is
now on exhibition in London. 1t is
three by two inches in size has sixty
five pages, and the prayers are written
in a neat hand in Lnglish, Greek, Latin,
/ rench and Italian. IL was intended
by the queen as a gift to the Duo d'Alen-
con, whom she once thought TO marry.
The prayers are very photographed
the writer speaks of herself as drawing
my blood from HINGES, - and thanks God
for passing me from a prison to a pal
lace, and placing me a s%ouveraigne
Prince over THE people of England. -

from James II, who gave It 10 the duke
OF Berwick, whence IL passed TO Horace

There is one method of paying duties
here which works rather strange results
at times. IL is n recognized principle
hat II any importer Is dissatisfied with
the valuation put upon his goods, and
considers the tax oyorbitant. he oan pay
in kind. The result is that the custom
house store. is overloaded with all man
ner Of useless articles, which go for n
mere song at some auction, or else the
custom house authorities become prac-
teal accessories to influences entirely
foreign to their habits or beliefs.
At one time the authorities
thought 10 prevent the importation
of the Scriptures by imposing
very heavy duties. The result was that
the duties were paid in kind, and the
custom house became, for tho nonce, n
Bible depot, where English, French,
German, Ireek and other Scriptures
could be bought very cheaply. This
went on for some little time, until some
one told the director.
Don you sec that you are lust play
ing into the hands of these Bible and
missionary societiesi GU are practi-
cally doing their own work gratuitously
Selling their books to a class of people
that they reach with difficulty
That phase had never appeared to the
director mind before. Mashallah,
that won't do and word was sent
to the importers to take their Scriptures
at their W price, and henceforth to
pay on the old basis.
