black soft felt hat on his head. and that look OF
dogged determination on his face which announces
In advance that he means to have any book which
anybody else wants, at no matter what price, MI.
Ellis is represented by his nephew. There Is q
murmur of excitement as the two large volumes
are handed round and examined eagerly
by those who don't mean to bid for them.
Those who do have long since scrutl-
nized every leaf. Mr.. Wilkinson is almost
as quiet in presence of great event as Mr.. Woods
IS at Christie's. He announces the book and some
body says $500; bid which Mr.. Quaritch con-
temptuously covers with $1,000. From that point
the contest advances in rapid. busness-like way
by sums of ESQ. Mr.. snowden, clerk to tic
auctioneers and intrusted with the commissions
sent to Messrs Sotheby. is the chief or perhaps
the only competitor till he has vainly offered
f3.G5O To Mr.. Quaritcfs response of f3. 700 there
came no reioinder from Mr.. SnOwden, who had
reached the limit of his orders. Then as so often
happens, an outsider who had been waiting his
tre stepped to the 'front.' and Mr. Ellis hid f3, $50.
But he retired almost at once before Mr. Quaritchs
f390O and the book fell to the latter al that price,
is was at first said in the that this a COM
mission, but have since heard that this is not so,
and that the SystOn Park copy of the Mazarin Bible
goes into Mr. Quaritchs stock, is Intended to figure
in his next catalogue, and may be bought by any
body who has fancy for once noble book which
has suffered the caamities | have described above,
and who likes to pay the price. plus, of course, the
dealers profit.
As close this letter hear that the Syston Park
copy is not the only Mazarin Bible now on sale.
Messrs. Sotheby have. or had last week, a copy
with respect to which they ready to furnish
particulars to any serious inquirer 1t is not to DO
disposed of by auction but by private treaty A
tain mystery is observed for the present, but per-
sons whose business it is to be well informed in
such matters say that the copy in question is
other than the Perkins copy velum, now in tho
possession. as said above, of the Earl Of Ashburn-
ham. who is prepared to part with 1t for consid-

The Superior times. [volume] (Superior, Wis.) 1870-1912, 1885-02-28

Our Washington letter intended
for last week did not reach us in time,
hence most of 1t would be uninterest-
ing reading now, but from II we take
the following extracts which may still
be considered in order::n
The pilgrims . as the Democratic
Congressman who recently called on
Mr. Cleveland IN New York are now
called, have nearly all returned to
Washington. None Of them seem to
have received any positive informa-
ton in regard to the Cabinet, but they
are all enthusiastic in praise of the
President-elect. One of them asserted
that Mr.. Cleveland $ eyes are not in
the clouds, or fixed upon the stars,
they are looking right ahead Of him,
at the ground ever which he must
travel. Senator Lamar was not less
favorably impressed. lie says Mr..
Cleyeland is a very superior man, and
has no commonplace trait about him
1t is not surprising that the Missis-
sippi statesman should have been
melted to admiration by the special
attention accorded him at the New
York conference. Mr.. Lamar was the
most prominent and influential south
advocate OF Mr.. Bavard's nomination
at Chicago, and he has not expected
any marked graciousness to be shown
to him by the coming President. The
all-prevaiiing impression among Dem
ocratic Senators now IS that Mr.. Bay
ard viii accept the State Depart
ment portfolio; but should he decline
it, it is belieyed that Mr.. Lamar viii
be appointed, Some think it would
be almost unnatural magnanimity or
the part of Mr.. Cleveland to offer pos
itions in his official household to two
of his foremost opponents at Chicago.
This reminds me that the next Pres
ident is likely to have one more Cab
met officer 10 appoint than any or his
predecessors. The Agricultural Blu
reau is about to be raised by the ac-
ton Of the Senate, to the dignity of
-. Ex-on,fiv-a Hon, ~ mont ,r;+I, +ba
same rights and privileges as to a seat
at the Cabinet table, salary, etc.
While this sop TO the rural voter has
been urged for a long time, it never
before got 50 near being actually ten
dered. There IS nothing to prevent
the bill from becoming a law before
the close of the session, in which case
Mr.. Cleveland will have eight instead
Of seven Cabinet problems to solve,

has been playing it mighty fine on
the river and harbor Committee. A
Washington dispatch of the Goth inst,
tells how it was done as follows:
Congressman Guenther got $4,000
today for the Fox and Wisconsin river
improvement lie did ii by one Of the
neatest tricks ever attempted in CON
greSs. The committee has been very
scornful toward Mr.. Gunther He was
not allowed to appear before the COM
mittee and state the need of money for
the Fox and Wisconsin Improvement,
nor would il allow a dollar to he Civ
en- to it. Yesterday Mr. Gunther sent
TO the desk fifty amendments TO the
river and harbor bill. The first APP
propriated 100000 for the Fox and
Wisconsin; the second asked for S99,-
600, the third S9S,000, the fourth
S97 900, and so on down to the last,
which called for $4,000 The clerk
smiled as the bundle was handed 10
him. \ moment later he winked to
Chairman Willis, and he came over
to the desk and looked at Mr.. Gunth-
er's amendments. Then he went back
to the bad German statesmans desk
and asked what he meant by that
absurd batch of amendments. Il
mean, if necessary" said Gunther, "to
make a three minutes Sneech on every
ono Of them, under the rules"
But said Willis, that will take six
weeks, and will kill the whole bill .
"Oh, it will, will it? | am sorry for
that, but | can't help it. / must do
what | can for the Fox and Wiscon-
sin river work" was Guenther's reply.
Willis went of and spent the night
in thought, Today he stated on the
floor the committee would allow Mr.,
Gunthers river So 900, if he would
withdraw bis peek of amendments.
