The New York Sun states that:

The New York Sun states that: A
new appointment has been made from
Waterford to the chair Of professor Of
Gaelic In MaynOOth College. Ireland.
The new appOintee Is member Of the
Gaelic League Of Dublin. and was the
first editor Of the Archaeological Journal
Of Waterford. The opinion Is very
general that Gaelic Is an extinct Ian
guage. or one nearly extinct. and the
labors Of the Gaelic Society in New
York to revive Its use have lent some
color to that opinion. Nevertheless. as
figures show. the Gaelic tongue Is most
tenacious. and, according to the last
reports, is spoken. though not exclu-
sively. by 1000. 900 persons in the Brit
ish Isles-6OO. 600 in Ireland, $50, 900 in
Wales, and 10000 in Scotland.
Though English Is the official language
Of all these countries, the popularity
of English increases slowly despite the
disadvantage under which those who
use Gaelic labor, that Of having no es-
tablished grammar and no recognition
In an official way. Gaelic fulfills the
collOQuial requirements of the farmers

The determination Of several leading
theatrical managers to stop poster ad-
vertising and depend wholly upon the
newspapers to reach the public has re-
vlved the question Of the relative mer-
It's Of the poster and the newspaper for
advertising purposes. The subject of
the relative merits Of the two Is hard
" debatable, because In this age and
country of universal newspaper read
ing the superiority Of the newspaper to
every other form Of advertising will be
readily admitted. As medium Of al.
vertising the ordinary poster on the
wall or the fence compares with the
newspaper about as the old mail coach
compares with the express train as a
means of transportation. The truth Is,
the crude Autographs belong to the
childhood Of civilization. They appeal
to curiosity and credulity In their raw
est forms. To ascrlbe any great intlu-
ence to the colored portraits Of players
and pictorial representation Of impOs-
sible figures and scenes which make
up the bulk of poster advertising Is to
reflect on the intelligence Of the people.
There has been happily some effort to
improve poster art and the work Of a
few artists has developed standard
which Is having wholesome effect on
all poster artists and printers. But the
high art poster Is still something Of a
curiosity and its cost will bar the way
to the general use of the best work OF
artists and printers in that line. The
question whether there Is any value a,
all in poster advertising Is one that the.
atrical managers have not yet settled
but there Is very general impression
| that 1t Il obsolete In cities, Mt least
and that 1t Ia a somewhat unnecessary
supplement to newspaper advertising
which offers all the opportunity need
full for the enlightenment Of the public
| with regard to theatrical wares.

" HE most remarkable fight In the

A. Custer and the allied forces Of all
the renegade Indians in the West un-
der the leadership Of Chiefs Gall and
Sitting Bull, on June rs. 1876, says the
Globe Democrat. 1t was remarkable
from the fact that not a single man In
Clusters command escaped to tell the
tale. Much has been said and written
about this famous fight. n large part Of
which has ben erroneous and the prod
uct Of vivid imaginations. 1t has been
80 long since anything having the least
semblance Of truth has been published
concerning this bloody affair that the
recOllections Of a friend Of Custer. who
was with him until few minutes be-
fore the battle, and who, when the COM
mand was divided, was sent with Maj.
Reno, are most interesting. DR.. H. II.
Porter. Of st. Louis. was the only sur
viving surgeon Of the three who were
with Clusters regiment on that fateful
June day. His recOllections have never
appeared In print, and it was only after
much persuasion that he consented to
talk for publication. Speaking Of the
expedition and It's results. he says:
Our expedition left Fort Abraham
Lincoln on May II, 1875. under the
command Of General Terry, and pro-
ceeded overland. The Indians had been
located by General Terry's scouts, and
he had told Custer to strike them on
the Goth. Terry was sure that his
scouts had them we'll located. and re.
suits demonstrated that he was cor.

to 60 by another route and were to
strike the Indians in front and Custer
was to close in on the rear. Custer

trail all that day and night. and pro-
ceeded until 4 o'clock, the morning OF

One Of the strange things about the
collecting" habit Is that which some
book collectors have of gathering all
the editions Of the Bible rendered rare
or. curious by misprints or errors due
to imperfect translation. There are
said to be nearly hundred such Bibles.
Among them are the "breeches" Bible.
In which our first parents are repre-
scented as sewing fig leaves together to
make themselves 'breeches;" the win
egar" Bible, wherein that word Is SUBJ
stituted for vineyard In the parable;
the "placemakers' Bible. where that
word takes the place Of peacemaker:
the wicked" Bible, which Omits mot"

the bug" Bible, in which we find this
phrase In the ninety first psalm: Thou
shalt not need to be afraid for any
bugges by night" This in reality does

translated. This edition, which Is MEM
orable for more than the modern mis-
conception Of the word referred to. was
first printed in 1549 at Antwerp and
reissued In 1851. Another curious
thing Is the sixteenth century idea Of
family discipline exemplified in the
translation Of the first epistle Of st.
Peter: "And II she (the wife) be not
obedient and helpful unto him (the hus-
band) endeavoreth to beat the fear Of
God into her head, that thereby she
may be compelled to learn her duty
