the great seal of the United States.
Beneath this is the seal of Ohio,
pierced by the stats that support the
Stars and Stripes, which fall in grace
ful folds on either side; al l beneath
this is the seal of the city of Cincin-
natl. Medallions of the deceased
donor and family complete the design.
On the ecclesiastical half, under the
surmounting tiara, is a medallion of
Pope Leo Kill, with his seal beneath
it. Just below is the medallion of the
Right Rev. William Henry Elder,
Archbishop of Cincinnati, through
which are crossed the staffs of the
Pspsl tanners. Right and left of this
medallion are two others-of Arch
bishop Purcell and Bishop Fenwick,
the first Bishop of Cincinnati. Be.
meath the central medallion is one Of
Vicar General Albrink.
Around the crown, in Gothic relief,
are two verses of medieval Latin
hexsmeters relating to the bells, which
read as follows:
Laudo Deum verum, plebum yoco congrego
clerum;
Funera prango, fulgura frango, sabbata
pango.
This may be approximately, though
not completely, rendered by the quaint
old English lines:
To Gale ye folde atte meeting TYNE,
We cbyme;
When ioye and myrth are On ye wynge
We rynge;
When wo lamente passyng soule,
We tolle.
1t will be noticed that great sym.
metry has been attained by this ar
rangement. The eagle is opposite
the tiara, and the American flag to the
Papal ensign the seal of the United
States corresponds to that Of Rome,
and the same artistic balance is main
tanned in all the parts.
This ornamentation of bells is pc.
culiar and difficult task. Tho decora-
tions must be in relief to avoid inter-
fering with the tone. The medailions,
for example, after being designed by
the artist, and passing through whole
series of transformations, must at last
lie accurately impressed upon the clay
of the mould, an operation requiring
great dezterity.

Martin Van Buren was born at Kim

British Museum Curios,

Among curiosities lately acquired by
the British museum the first place is
due to some very remarkable acquisi-
tions connected with Charles I, one be-
ing copy Of the secrSt instructions to
the commissioners appointed for raising
q forced loan in 1926. No other printed
copy is at present known to exist, and
Mr.. Gardiner, while writing his history
of the time, was obliged to refer to a
manuscript in the state paper Office.
The interest Of this copy is much en-
hanced by its being addressed to the
county of Nottingham, where Charles
was destined to commence the civil war
l6 years afterward, and by it's bearing
his signature on the first page Of the
text.
With this is to- be mentioned a CODY
Of the 1888 edition Of Sternhold and
Hopkins Psalter. bound in silk, richly
embroidered with silver, with portraits
Of Charles and Henrietta Maria worked
on the covers, ana bookmark with the
motto, "Your captive king from prison
bring" It ia in closed in an embroider-
ed silk sachet, and accompanied by q
pair Of richly worked kid gloves. The
freshness Of the objects. which are said
to have belonged to Mrs. Osborn. ono of
Queen Htnrietta's ladies in waiting, is
surprising. Another acquisition connect
ed in some measure with Charles l is
one of the seven extant Scrip.ural Har-
monies, prepared by the community of
Little Gliding, another Of which. exc
cuted for the king at his own Request,
was already tn the museum. m.-Acaderly
