1t is with sorrow that the many
warm friends of Mrs. Frank Harris,
will learn that the good lady has
been afflicted with another nervous
attack similar to that following the

solicitude but Frank has taken her to

A quiet. pleasant social event occurred
Wednesday afternoon at 2o'cock at the
residence Of r. II. Elliott in the marri-
age of their second daughter, Lizzie g..
to Principal w. H. Smith, of the Pom

and a few intimate friends of the bride

church. At the conclusion of the nuptial
rites the company sat down to a spread
of delcacies.
Prof. Smith came from Ypsilanti last

meeting the duties of his position, he has
proved a competent teacher and we'll

The weather was cool and delightful
SATURDAY afternoon. at least as compar.
ed with the first of the week, and q
large enthusiastic audience seated in
the ampetheater and in buggies, was
assembled 10 witness the matinee races
which came off at the Fair Grounds.
The racing was under the supervision
of Joe Barnett. Jim McGonigal and
Jno. Duncan. Of Hurricane, who were
also to act as judges and starters.
No time was kept. as it was not
thought necessary Us only half-mile
heats were trotted.
The time made in each race however
was not altogether the slowest that has
been taken on this track. according to
stop watches. which were held ON the
horses by several spectators.
The chief event of the meeting, was
the free for all trot. and the exhibition
half mile by the two year old. Bay Hen
ry. owned by Lester Bidwell. The track
was very slow and it was predicted by
many that the colt would find it hard to
beat 1850, this he did by five seconds,
however, and with apparent ease
The free for all in which were entered,
hurricane Prince, Victory and Ivica,
three horses noted for speed and endur-
ance, was the most exciting. and
was won bv Ivica who beat Victory for
first place by only neck, with Hurri-
cane Prince close third. The three
minute race was won in strait heats by
VIM. McCord's tilly, Lady X, and the
green race was won by DR.. 7. NJ. Gro

JUDGE COOLEY, of Michigan, denies
the Democratic assertion that he is going
to support Cleveland this year. He is
quite emphatic in his declaration of his
adhesion to Republican principles, and
would stump the State for Harrison were
it not for his feeble health. 1t will be
remembered that he recently suffered an
exhausting illness, which brought him
to the verge of the grave, and he has
not sufficiently recovered his bodily
strength to stand the fatigue of cam
paigning. He will vote for Harrison,
Reid, and protection, he says. So passes
another Democratic lie into political
Limbo.

POLITICAL PROSPECTS.

Pittsburgh Dispatch.
There are very encouraging reports
from the doubtful States of New York,
New Jersey, and Connecticut. Repub-
iicans who are in position to estimate
the drift of public sentiment are very
sanguine that all of these States will
cast their electoral votes for Harrison
and Reid. The "harmony" between the
Hill and Cleveland factions in New
York is of the most discordant and dis
tracing kind. The Tammany chiefs
are all in the sulks, and the Mugwumps
are as ugly and cross grained as they can
well be- But what is more important
than all else, the Republican managers
seem determined to have an honest
election in the strongholds of Demo
cratic rottenness and corruption. If
they can accomplish this, as was done
four years ago, they can carry the State
without leaving room for dispute.
As to New Jersey there are indications
which favor a clean sweep by the Re-
publicans, even to the Governor and
legislature. The manufacturing inter
ests of the State are of such magnitude
that they demand serious attention at
the hands of thousands who have here
tofore been identified with the Demo-
cratic party. The beneficial effects of
the Mckinley tariff are apparent to the
most superficial and Indifferent, and
men can not be expected to vote money
out of their own pockets for the sake of
"barren ideality." There is another
reason for anticipating Republican sue
cess. The gang of Hudson county bal
lot-box suffers and false counters who
have so often ''carried the State" through
their rascalities are for the most part
wearing striped clothes in the peniten
tiary. Some fifty or sixty of these
energetic" Democrats have been ar
rested by the iron hand of Jersey justice
and they will not do any 'fine work" in
Hudson county this year. There are
other good grounds for the belief that
New Jersey will go Republican in
November. The drift which carries
these two great commonwealth in
given political direction usually takes
Connecticut along with them.

THE Democratic press are rejoicing
over the alleged accession of Judge
Gresham to their ranks, though that
gentleman has yet made no declaration
of an intention to support Mr.. Cleveland.
-Four years ago Mr.. Gresham was willing
to run on the platform upon which Gen.
Harrison was elected and his intimate
friends think he has not changed his
mind since that time.

with the condition of affairs, and are
willing to continue it by four years more
of President Harrison.

BRIEF AND STRIKING STORIES.
OLD SCRIPTURES FOUND.

OLD SCRIPTURES FOUND.
London Times.
\ curious document will be submit
ted to the Congress of Orientaliists about
to assemble in London. 1t is a papyrus
manuscript discovered a few months
ago in Egypt, and is supposed by some
authorities to be the Oldest copy extant
of portions of the Old Testament book
of Zachariah and Malachi.
These pagos of papyrus, when intact,
were about ten inches high and seven
inches wide, each csntaining % lines of
writing, both sides of the sheet being
used. The complete line contains from
! Il to II letters. The sheets are bound
/ together in the form of a book in a
primitive though careful manner with
cord and strips of old parchment. The
Greek of this document is written with
out intervals between the words, Gus
tom observed in old Greek and old He
brew manuscripts. The payrpus is In
fair preservation, and it is believed to
date from the third or fourth century.
1t thus ranks in age with the Oldest
Greek manuscripts of the Septuagint
version of the Old Testament in London,
Rome and st. Petersburg.
1t has been shown to several of the
University professors in Vienna, who,
am told, consider it to be genuine. The
British chaplain here, a distinguished
Orientalist, will give an account of it at
the Congress. The differences in this
papyrus tend to the conclusion that it
was copied from some excellent original
of the Septuagint Bible, which was first
translated about the year go B. c.. for
the use of the Hellenistic Jews in
Egypt, who, having gradually forgotten
the Hebrew tongue, had learned to speak
Greek.
The first summary examination has
shown that it has several new readings
which surpass some of the other Septua-
gint texts in clearness of expression and
simplicity of grammar. 1t would also
appear that it was copied from another
Septuagint Bible, and it was not writ
ten, as was frequently the case, from
dictation. A second scribe has occa-
sionally corrected some mistakes of or
biography as made by the original copy
rst. These are still clearly to be distin'
guished by the different color of the ink
