cording to the Casper (Wyo.) Mail. Of

TO me very doubtiuD thou wills bless

We are here partly on account of cur
loyalty and partly to press on General

who, therefore, can not help us any
more. Also to say good things of the
new one who will kiss the bible to-
morrow and open carload OF patronage
for the patriotic American citizsns, who
are here not because they want to know

want TO show the new president that

It is hardly probable, says Wash
ington correspondent, that John II.
King, OF Dakota, will be made assistant
commissioners of Iedian affairs. From
the present outlook it would appear
that this place will be given to q gentle
man in Philadelphia who is warm per.
sonal Efriend OF Postmaster General
Wansmaker. II is the desire of Presl-
dent Harrison to appoint men to Indian
eervice who are not in any Way identified
with the Indians or Indian interests in
the west, but will rather select those
who are free from any possible business
relations with Indians or their friends.
Therefore 1t is presumed. says the cor
respondent, that Mr.. King will be disap.
pointed although he may be given some
other position.

New York, March 1S-Lstters OF
sympathy with the projected national
confederate soldiers home at Austin,
Texas, continue to pour in to Secretary
Downing. Among the letters just re-
ceived is one from ex-PrssIdent Hayes
from Fremont, Ohio. Is is given in full

Gen. George Crook, of the division OF
the Missouri, and from w. Merritt. OF

Crook speaks of the movement us "a

the union soldiers must not-will NOS be
forgotten nor neglected especially by
those who have shared in the fullest
measure the prosperity which has come
from the services and sacrifices OF those

was imperilled. But those who fought
against the nation cannot and do mo-
look TO it for relief. Their disabled and
destitute comrades are left TO th,
generosity and benefactions of thei

that that movement for statehood for

democratic party would be hurled from

Water Marks on Paper.

The oldest document or paper as yet dis
covered with a mark is the account book Of
1901, supposed to be manufactured out Of
linen rags by the Holbein family at Ravens
burg. Except this particular specimen, all
paper manufactured by the Holbeins bears
the Bulls Head, " doubtless taken from the
coat of arms of that family, whereas this ac-
count book is marked with the Globe and
Cross" The Globe and jug are the most an
cient marks as yet discovered; and these
together with the Post horn, which appeared
about 1876, became by the end of the Four
tenth century the principal marks on paper
manufactured in the Low countries, whence
they spread during the ensuing hundred
years o'Gouda and Delft.
Paper, as a rule, without any characteristic
sign is the oldest, since the water mark signi
fiee a certain progress in the art of paper
making. Other noteworthy marks are a
sprig with leaves and fruit of flower, a
drawn bow with an arrU", perpendicular
line with stars at each extremity between
two circles, the letter R unsigned by cross,
two crescentS through which perpendicular
line passes terminating art each end, a cross,
bulls face a demi-griffn, pair of bal
anceS, the unicorn, an anchor, and "Pn and
~" the initials being those of Philip Of
Burgundy and his wife Isabella, wAcse name
at the time would be usually spelled with
y. The duke married Isabella in ~, and
before that date P only is found; after that
date P and y.
Canton seem TO have used pape" chiefly
obtained from the low countries, al u ad
dition to the Bulls Head" and the pr and
~" there will also be found the oven
Hand" worked on the paper on which the
Golden Legends was printed IN 1888, and
Also the Unicorn" Other paper employed
by this famous printer came from Germany,
since in his "Recueil of the Histories of Troy"
Q+GS) there appears the Bunch of GraYSs,"
which was German mark In the Game
Of Cheese the paper bears evidence Of Italian
origin, as there is the mark of an Anchor
inclosed by a Circle" The Dolphin and
Anchor" was a very famous mark, and after
the Bulls Head, perhaps the best known,
the reason for this being because the device
was extensively used by Aldo Manuzio, who
has thus perpetuated to our day the ancient
symbol of the city of Venice.-Chambers
