THE LAPLAND BIBLE.
1t Was Translated by a Murderer While
He Was In Prison.

1t Was Translated by Murderer While
He Was In Prison.
The Lapps have the Bible in their own
tongue, and few stories are more interest
ing than the account of its translation.
Over thirty years ago a series of religious
riots took place in d number of villages
IN Lapland, and among the rioters was
one Lars Haetta.
During the riots several homicides oc-
CURED, and Lars and some other of his
companions were committed to prison on
a charge of murder, relates the New York
Home Journal. They were found guilty
and several were hanged, but in con-
sideration of his youth Haetta was con-
demned to lifelong imprisonment. Com
miserating his condition, his keepers and
the prison chaplain extended TO him such
favors as could safely be granted to
lifelong prisoner, and finding them re-
warded by good conduct, took especial
pains to teach him to read and write.
Lars became interested in the Bible,
grew day by day more fond of reading it.
and finally formed the bold project of
translating it into his native tongue.
Through many weary years the labor
went on, for Lars was no great scholar
and the Lapp language, as may be readily
supposed, is not fluent literary medium
of thought.
But finally the work was done, the
Bible translated and printed in the Ian
guage of Lapland and the remainder of
Haetta'S sentence was commuted He
was living as late as 1870, and though an
old man was still active and often served
parties of travellers as guide.

Neatly engraved cards bearing that in
scrlption are frequent at the present mo-
ment on Murray Hill, writes a New York
correspondent. The young lady giving
the matinee chooses subjects that she
thinks will please the largest number OF
her friends, and these subjects may vary
from dancing slippers to Browning S
poetry. Tea and tiny sandwiches are
served during the rhetorical display, and
If the subject deals with millinery the
hostess is expected to use examples OF
her wardrobe to emphasize her argu-
ment. The best description of the pro-
ceedlngs at conversation matinee vet

Fifth avenue. He explained that as he

The ''Glacial PERIOD is so familiarly
spoken of that there is 4 popular belief
that the great Ice Age came on the north
of Europe, lasted for u time, and then
disappeared for good. But facts are now
accumulating which show that in reality
the last glacial PERIOD like some of its
predecessors (of which in the early ages
of the worlds history there are believed
to have been several) was varied by
times when the ice disappeared and the
climate of the northern hemisphere re-
sumed its former character.
The latest of these discoveries has just
been made in Russia by Nj. Krischtafo-
vitch-the bowlder clay west of Moscow
exhibiting clear evidences of these oscil-
lations between state of matters like
those at present prevailing and that
which is now the rule in Greenland. In
that country, indeed, we know that the
finland ice' advances and retreats, COW
ering places which were formerly bare
and leaving other spots which were COW
cred within the memory of man, or on
which there are distinct evidences of the
glacial shroud. 1t is therefore in the
highest degree probable that there was
a warm or interglacial period either local
or general over the whole northern hem
isphere.

Peculiar Adventures of an Earl in q
Carriage-His Own Medicine.
The habit of talking aloud was pecu-
liarity Of one of the Earls of Dudley, and
of this habit an amusing anecdote is told
in the Sheffield Telegraph. Lord Dudley,
being invited TO the house of a friend, had
ordered his carriage at an early hour,
having some miles to travel before he
could obtain his accustomed repose. TO
his modification, after repeated inquiries
for Lord Dudley's carriage, it had not
arrived.
One of the guests, seeing how much his
lordship was disconnected by the event.
very politely offered him seat in his.
The gentleman in question had to pass
his lordship's house on his return home.
and, though he was almost stranger to
Lord Dudley, his rank and position in
the country were, of course well known
to him. Nevertheless, they had not been
seated in the carriage more than twenty
minutes when the peer, who had up to
that moment maintained a most perfect
silence, observed in low but distinctly
audible tone of voice:
Ppm very sorry / accepted his offer. /

The DOry Mermaid.

LONDON, Aug. 27.-The British steamer
Elbruz, from Baltimore, August 11th,
arrived at Antwerp to-day. On board of
her was Captain Andrews of the dory
Mermaid, which sailed from Boston some
time ago, on the transatlantic race with
the dory Sea Serpent. The Sea Serpent
arrived at Coverack, in the English
Channel, August 9Th. The fact that Cap
tain Andrews is on board the Elbruz is
taken to indicate that he had given up
the race, or else some accident happened
to his boat that made it necessary for him
to leave her.

A BIG RAID.

The Job Which the Police Had on
Hand Last Night.
At 4 O'Clock this morning the police
were to have raided tramp rendezvous
in the brush beyond the north levee.
about opposite Seventh street.
There is an old building there which a
gang of tramps had taken possession of
and from which they have refused to be
evicted by the owners. The police were
expecting pretty lively experience with
the gang, and the Chief had given orders
for the entire day and night force to be on
hand.
The intention is to either lock up or rid
the city Of the crew of idlers and crimi-
nails that now infeSt it.

tainly; but the worst is, I suppose, I
must ask him to dinner"
He then relapsed into his former state
OF taciturnity, when, after few minutes,
the gentleman, pretending to be afflicted
with the same falling and initiating his
lordship's tone, observed:
Perhaps he'll think I did it to make
his acquaintance. Why, l would have
done the same to any farmer on his es-
tate. L hope he won't think it necessary
to ask me to dinner, for I shan't accept
his invitation"
Lord Dudley listened to him with
earnest interest, Immediately compre-
hending the joke which he himself had
provoked, offered his hand with much
hearty good will to his companion, max
ing every proper apology for his involun-
tary rudeness, and from that night the
travellers became inSeparable friends.
