A FAMOUS BOOK.
The Recent Sale of the Gutenburg Bible
For Nearly Ten Thousand Dollars.

The Recent Sale of the Gutenberg Bible
For Nearly Ten Thousand Dollars.
The London Times, in reporting the re-
cent sale of Lord Hopetoun's library,
says:
at appears that the collection was not
formed by the constant pursuit of the first
earl of Hopetoun, who, though biblio-
phile, was not exactly collector, for he
fortunately obtained his library by one
purchase when he bought the library
Of the Jesuits at Strasbourg some time
in the last century. The earl was
then completing the building of
the mansion Hopetoun house, near
Edinburgh, and naturally wanted to fur
Dish 1T with a library worthy of the place,
and in this he certainly succeeded. But,
though there are some rare books in the
collection, they do not give the chief in
terest to the sale, for this conferred in one
alone-the famous 'Mazarin,' or, more
properly, Gutenberg bible-and, strange
to say, this treasure was quite unknown
to the present Lord Hopetoun, having
been cast aside as AN old bible with
books and papers at the back of cup
board. Here it was discovered by Mr..
Hodge, IT,, when he was engaged
in preparing for the present sale.
AS it has happened, the pre-
cious volumes have not suffered so much
from those accidents of damp and mildew
as might have been expected, and those
slight injuries to the first three leaves of
the second volume which have occurred
were not such as to be called serious dam
ages. Indeed, the price OF $4,000, which
Mr.. Quaritch has now given for the vol
umes, is sufficient evidence of this. 1t was
put up as lot 269, the first bid being 81 900
from Mr.. Quaritch, who had to compete
with Mr.. Ellis, who advanced to el,050,
and so on by fities to the end at g, 900.

A newsboy took the Sixth avenue elevated at
Park place at noon yesterday and sliding into
one of the cross seats fell asleep. At Grand-st
two young women got on and took the seats OPP
posite the lad. His feet were bare and his hat
had fallen of. Presently the younger girl
leaned over and placed her muff under the lit
tie fellows dirty cheek. An old gentleman in
the next seat smiled at the act and without say
ing anything held out quarter with nod to-
ward the boy. The girl hesitated a moment
and then reached for it. The next man just as
the girl with flaming cheeks had taken money
from every passenger in that end of the car
She quietly slid the amount into the sleeping
lads pocket, removed her muff gently from
under his head without arousing him and got
off at Twenty-third-st., including all the pas
sengers in pretty little inclination of the head
that seemed full of thanks and the possession
of a common secret.

as beefsteak mutton chop, venison, roast beef,
sage, arrow root, tapioca, and the like. Drink
as much milk as agrees with YOU. Pay particu-
lar attention to fresh air. cleanliness, exercise,
and as general thing comfort as much as pos
sible. Lofty and airy sleeping apartments not
exposed TO drafts; and care to avoid and pre-
pare for sudden changes of temperature; never
go out of the house when the atmosphere is
moist. Be careful not TO catch fresh cold, but
cure the one you have. Wear flannel under
wear according TO the season, which should be
changed for dry night and morning. Do but
this, and the RESOLNENT will exceed your
most sanguine expectations, and fulfill our
most confident promises.
For pain in the chest back or limbs rub

the hand, or flannel saturated and II
diarrhea should trouble the patient las il
sometimes does dose or two Of the RELIEF,
that is, half a teaspoonful swallowed in half
tumbler of water, will check it. One of RAD
WAYS PILLS should be taken occasionally
to induce healthy action of the Liver, etc.
We concientiously recommend our SAR-
SAPARILLIAN RES0LVENT, READY
RELIEF and PILLS for the ease and comfort
and probable cure of all suffering from Con-
sumption. II is cruel to give way 10 despon-
dency. The mind eXerts a wonderful infu-
ence over all diseases, and firm in the hope of
q cure, Consumption must give way 70 the

Was it Murder or an Accident.

MUNCIE, March 27.-[Special.l-A train
bound west ran over man this morning nearly
one mile from town. The head was completely
severed from the body, as were the legs. He
had been lying crosswise on the track when
struck. The men were Mortified to observe
that his wounds were not bleeding, and the
track was not bloody. There was a jagged
wound in the head, the blood Of which was
clotted, showing that the train had not caused
his death A letter, bill-headed "The French
Hotel" Lima, o., dated March %. and ad-
dressed to his wife in Fostoria o., was signed
Harry +. Batesman. Last evening a stout
thick-set man hired buggy at a livery stable
About o'clock this morning the horse came
home alone, with reins trailing. This was a
full hour before the train left. The hostler
says this man was not the victim. Others say
he was. Neighbors report hearing a buggy
near the scene of1the catastrophe'a an hour and
a half before the train came 1t seemed TO 60
backward and forward for little while and
then slowly wheel toward the city. The en-
gineer of the train is Batesman's brother-in-
law He brought tonight with him Bates
mans photograph, and his identity is unques-
tionably established. The coroner's verdict
will be that the man was murdered. His wife
arrived tonight. The city is tremendously ex-
cited, and large reward will be offered for the
murderer's apprehension.

in an unguarded moment, he impulsively
asked: children, why did the angels
walk up and down the ladder instead of

man confessed when he came home that
he had no sooner asked the question than
he was compelled to acknowledge MS in

Spring Idles-Advice to House-Cleaners

spring Idles-Advice to HOuse-Cleaners.
Bring the fower-tubs from the cellar,
Place them out of doors;
Carry carpets out and shake them,
Scrub white all the floors.
Spatter all the walls with whitewash,
Take down every bed;
Carry stoves up to the attic,
Old chairs to the shed.
Take little bit of soap,
Place it on the stair;
Also take pail of suds
And place beside it there.
Call your good man to come down,
Listen TO him sweari
Pay the doctor to come in
And the breaks repair.
Carry all things back in place,
Smile with brow serene;
Though you may be dead yourself.
Still the house is clean.

The mist about the shadOwy copse.

Yelled up each nook and hollow;
A hunters horn winds up the breeze
And tremulous echoes follow.
But when the lazy sun appeared,

May have the fairies hiding;

Might out of heaven come slidingl
