Canterbury's Old Bible.


The old chained Bible of Canterbury Cathedral,
which has for so many years been carefully pre-
served in the Cathedral library, is now undergo
ing renovation, Dean Payne Smith and the Bish-
op of Dover contemplating its replacement in its
original position upon what is known as Gran
mer's desk, in the northeast aisle Of the Cathe
dral The book is one of large size and con-
siderable weight, and would appear to have
undergone very rough usage, probably at
the time of the rebellion. A careful examina
ton shows that the cover must then have been
torn off, the strength of at least three men hav-
ing been, IL is thought necessary to have
wrenched asunder the five thongs with which it
was fastened. 1t is one OF those known as the
second edition Of Cranmer's Bible, and contains
two very fine engravings-one OF the Earl of
former portrait was very much obliterated, but
the old paper and lines have been restored with
great care aud success. The clasps and chain
fastening have also been torn from the volume.

AN EMPRESS IN GUM BOOTS.

Results of Her Interesting Investigation Of
the Grievances of Her Subj ects.
New York Morning Journal.
The details of the peculiar pilgrimage of the
Empress of Austria have just been made public,
and have created much amusement mixed with
admiration for the royal lady.
1t has long been the custom of the reigning
house of Austria to initiate the doings of the
Caliph of Bagdad at the beginning of the lenten
season. The custom gives the royal rulers All
have of mingling among their subjects without
being known, of listening to their complaints,
and getting an insight into their grievances.
This year the handsome and popular empress
disguised herself in an old suit and pair of
gum boots belonging to one OF the palace washer
women. Her valuable jewelry was left at home,
and she slept with her hands in pail Of water
for two nights il order to give them rough APP
peaIance. Her maids of honor did not recognize
the empress, as she pulled the cloak of her
water proof over her head, and walked down the
back stairs.
The empress took her way to the poorest
quarter Of the city, where tumble down shanties
and big tenements are jumbled together.
In front of No. Is Strasse de Ravenna,
pretty girl stood crying bitterly. She looked up
as the empress approached, and eyed her GU
riously.
What is the matter, my dearl1 exclaimed the
Empress. Tell me what troubles you, and l
will remedy it if it be in my power"
IL want pair of roller skates" sobbed Bea-
trice Vincenzo. "Olivette Murpherio has pair
of nickel-plated ones and she has taken all my
beaux away from me-
The Empress promised to see that Miss Vim
cenzo got the skates and made note of it in
her diary.
Crossing over to that part of the city whose
residents spent their time tearing up the pave
ments, putting them down again, and voting for
the Commissioner of Public Works, the Empress
walked up several flights of stairs in q tall tene-
ment Hearing woman crying in q small room
she opened the door and walked in.
"My daughter has run off with an organ
grinder" exclaimed the weeping woman, ''and
our family will never get over the shock. We
are rag pickers, and never imagined, after the
way l brought the girl up that she would dis
grace her family by marrying beneath our circle.
The Empress tried to comfort her, and at
length promised to give her anything within
reason that she might ask for. After thinking
for some time the afflicted mother replied:
I'D like to have pair of those l3-eent vases
at Schmidt's. They are Job lot and dirt cheap"
They were sent to her next day by the en-
press.
A big man in his shirt sleeves sat on the curb

throat grew more and more intolerabe, my view
of the room slowly darkened. But of the horri-
ole and only too palpable form that was killing

it towards me- and with expiring effort
pushed the muzzle of it close against what
l took to be the invisible body of my tormentor
and fred We never found the bullet or
any trace of it afterwards Instantly the
hands relaxed their grip my throat a
little. and with q violent effort | wrenched my
neck away, then heavy body fell sideways from
my bed to the ground, and fell too, graphing
with it. At that moment Ellen and Prescott,
who had been aroused by the sound of the shot
burst into the room. There they saw me strug-
Cling, partly on the floor, and partly kneeling
apparently on space. They rushed to my assist
ance. Both OF them felt the thing, both of them
grappled with it The struggles of enemy
became fainter. Managing to get one HAND free
| re-possessed myself of the pistol, which had
fallen on the floor, and emptied the second bar

spectre Tired straight downwards, apparently
at the floor, but of that bullet we VINO more
than of the other. Meanwhile Prescott stabbed
furiously with the bowie knife, and each time
he dashed the blade down its progress was ar
rested before it reached the carpet Then the
struggles ceased. and nothing was heard except
our rapid painting We were all kneeling on and
holding down what looked like space, and felt
like the form of tall and athletic man.
We've done for it, whatever it u.s. said
hoarsely.
Prescott burst into foolish giggle. by
Jove!" he said, well make cast Of it and see
what it's like"
AS he spoke the form of our victim was agita-
ted by desperate CONFUSION, which shook as

groan burst from the place whore we had held

uxEARxRD LAND GRANTS.

Nothing illustrates.more clearly the
positions OF tho democratic and Re-
publican parties, respectfully, In the
struggle between the people and rail-
road monopolIes than the action OF
the last Congress with respect to the
unearned railroad land grants. The
Senate was Republican, the House Of
Representatives, Democratic. The
House passed bills forfeiting 20, 279,-
$50 acres OF land, restoring II to the
publicsdomaIn and throwing 1t open
TO actual settlers. All this land had
been granted by Republican Congress
es to railroads upon conditions which
have never been fulfilled. The bills
thus passed by the lower. house OF
Congress were met at every step by
the railroad lobbyists In the Senate
and all except three were tied up in
committees or amended, so that no
action could be taken before the ex-
piration of the session. Bills forfeit
ing In the aggregate 40, ,34s,so0 acres
were thus killed by the Republican
Senate through railroad influence
and arc kept tied up from the
people. The amount OF land rep
resented by these figures isenormous.
In erea 1t is greater than Ireland and
Scotland combined and nearly as
large as England and ireland to-
gether.
