BEFORE PAPER.-Wood was one of the
earliest substances employed on which to
inscribe names and record events Stone,
brass, lead and copper were also used at
an early period; after which the leaves of
trees. These were superseded by the outer
bark of the tree, but this being too coarse
the inner bark came soon after to be used,
that of the lime being preferred. This
bark was called by the Romans liber, the
Latin word for book, and these bark
books, that they might be more con-
yeniently carried about, were rolled up,
and called roi,tmca, hence our word vol
| umc. The skins of sheep, goats and asses
were the next materials used and so nicely
were they prepared that long narratives
| were inscribed on them with the greatest
accuracy. Some of these were fifteen feet
long, containing fifty or sixty skins, fastened
together by thongs of the same material
The intestines Of certain reptiles were also
used, for it is a Northumberland fact the
poems of Homer were written on intes-
tines of serpents in letters Of gold This roll
was 100 feet long and was deposited in the
great library Of Constantinople where
it was destroyed by fire in the sixth cen
tTy. The next material was parchment
skins smoothed and polished by pumice
stone-to which succeeded velum, finer
description OF parchment, made from the
skins Of very young animals On this vel
lum gold and silver letters were stamped
with hot metal types. Some of these pro-
auctions are very beautiful, requiring much
time and labor to prepare and complete
them, and the more carefully they are
examined the more do we admire the taste
and ingenuity displayed.-[ Chambers

THE Akd admits that it was a mistake on the
part of the Administration to appoint the man
Meade, Of Copiah county infamy, to public
position. But it points out that the President
has made very, very few mistakes. But then
the President has three years and three-fourths
of year in which d" to run, and in that time a
Democratic Administration has plenty of time
IN which to blunder.

WARD IS FACETIoUs.

Although Ferdinand Ward devoted a
good deal OF time during his trial to fig
uring, he yet found time to prepare the
following statement: ~ have every rea-
son to hope that my chances for cOnvic-
ton on the present charge are
ninety-nine in one hundred. If con-
ycted | can safely reckon on being
sentenced to State prison for ten years,
which is The extreme penalty Of the law,
and therefore | am safe in setting it down
at that figure. II l am acquit-
ted, which the saints forbid, all
the other indictments against me,
with their attending penalties, aggre-
eating somewhere in the neighbOrhOCd Of
two hundred years imprisonmentw be
fired into me. Therefore, if | am con-
yicted, can set down on the balance
sheet ono hundred and ninety years in my
favor, which is quite an item. l am now
80 years of age; 10 years added 10 this
makes 43, which IS still young, even for a
man whose stomach has been slightly up
set by prison fare. So far my books show a
more prosperous condition OF affairs than
Mr.. Fish's books, but then they have al
ways compared fayorably with mis-.
guess it will be safe for me TO set the life
led by thu prisoners in Sing Sing as q
happy medium between life IN Ludlow
street jail and life in the Tombs. These
facts balance themselves and can have no
effect upon me-"

definite information has been given TO the
public. The New York man who Is said
to have acted as agent or mddleman Tor
the " ard crew Is one or the best known
men in Wall street, a Spectator whose
risks often reach fabulous sums, ana
man whose family is conspicuous IN
society. Precisely the sum lotal OF the
moneys that were put abroad IS not stared,
but the law officers aver that 1t IS not
wholly beyond reach. and II was declared
by q mem Der OF the District Attorneys
Office last night that there are 10 be &C
lions instituted to seek the recovery OF 1T.
These statements are made with much
emphasis, and upon evidence which this
Jaw officer claims is positive and unmis-
taxable.
1T is the common belief among those
who are engaged in the investigation OF
Wards rascalities that he managed to put
away good deal OF money OF which
nothing VIII ever be heard. "Who knows
how many people there are who held
Wards paper but have not Acknowledged
that they were sWindled by him" asked
one Of the Investigators. 81
don't think there is any doubt that Wards
paper, given in oWledgement OF many
thousands Of dollars, was destroyed soon
after the failure, 70 give many who were
caught a chance 10 say safely: i haven't
duF u MS pbptIs' Out can only udht u
wild guess at the amount Of his stealings.
Enough Is known Of the way ne acted to
make It safe 10 say that he spared no one
on whose money he could lay hands. The
Connecticut valley, in the vicinity Of
Stamford, is full OF bis victims. When
ever he heard OF anyone with a little
money he would cultivate that PERSONS
acquaintance until be got the
money. Savings Of from $1,000 up
ward fell into his hands rapidly,
the owners relying on his promises OF eX-
orbitant returns. lie stole everything
from everybody. His greed was insati-
ate and heartless. used 10 think he was
a fool The more ] look into his per
f0rmauces the more am convinced that
he was. the most clever as well as the
most contemplate thief that ever lived.
1t is easy TO say that here is thief who
ought to be convicted, and another thing
10 draw an indictment that cannot be
upset. " ard was smart enough to pro-
vide, as he thought, just that difficulty for
whoever might be put on his track. Case
after case, establishing prima tacie evil
dence OF fraud, has been taken up in the
District Attorneys Office only to fall
through on investigation, until 1t seemed
to us as If Ward must have worked with
the devil at one shoulder and a lawyer at
the other. The reason why the District
Attorneys Office has seemed to be slow 10
that it has meant to be sure, and to draw
indictments that would stand and lead to
conviction"
