Tedious work OF ola hook makers.

During the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries monks frequently isolated
themselves from the world and repro
duccd The Bible in Illuminated manu-
script. The work was necessarily slow
and in no instance was il accomplished
In less than rs yenrs. Guido de Jars
was n producer of the illuminated man
uscripts and n beautiful specimen of
his work was sold along with the books
OF Sir w. Burrcli in 1890. This copy of
the Bible had occupied half a century
in its production. A note in the begin
ming OF the manuscript in Jars hand
writing indicates that he began his task
In 1244 and did not O. nclude il till 1924.

METAMORPHOSlS OF A PLANT.

A curious incident of the power Of
plants to adapt themselves to circum-
stances came under my notice recently
In the shape of Il pontcdria crassipes,
Last fall, says "A writer in Meehan's
Monthly, obtained a slip of poutcdrin.
which | placed in u bowl in my sitting
room window. BY spring it was Il
thrifty plant, with beautiful wuNcn
leaves. When il was time 90 sci ~.
plant out of doors | looked about for
something In which to plnc" my liiy.
For want of something better | put it
portions. by midsummer IL had out
grown the boiler. Again ! looked about.
and this time | found II crock, quite
deep. but not very wide. | divided my
plant, putting half in the crock and the
other half ia the boiler. This latter |
kept thinned out by giving slips TO
friends; the other plant was LETT 10
grow ut it's sweet will, aud. being
a thrifty plant, very much bent ON
growing, and finding IL could not spread
according to its natural mode. IL
changed its tactics and took to grow
ing upward. The air bulbs developed
into long stems, and at the end of each
grew n very large leaf twice the size
Of an ordinary leaf. And here | would
like to say that, as q house plant, there
liz nothing more attractive than n
healthy pontedria, with its CLASSY, wax
en- leaves. and, moreover. il requires so
little attention, merely keeping it re-
plenished with water.

VICE-PRESIDENTIAL PARTY.

Tribute TO Grant.


Tribute 10 Grant.
Copyright 1897, by the Associated Press
NEW YORK, April 26.-The special
train bearing the vice-presidential party
to the Grant ceremonies arrived at Jer-
sey City to-day. at S:34 p. NJ. The entire
trip had been uneventful.
Vice-President and Mrs. Hobart walked
at the head of the procession through
a small crowd on the Platform, to the car
riages which were waiting for them.
They were driven on board the jersey
Central ferry-boat, Fanwood, and landed
at Twenty-third street this city. whence
they were driven TO their respective stop
ping places.
During the run from Philadelphia to
Jersey city over the jersey Central track
the Vice-President and Speaker Reed held
their respective dinner parties.
OF the famous men who travelled on
this train. perhaps none was more spoken
of than General Longstreet. His vene-
rable face ana tall figure, Notwithstanding
he is somewhat bent with age, brought
hack to mind the days when III the prlme
OF cife. he led the southern forces in many
a fierce assault. Since those times ne
has been United States Minister 10 Iur-
kew. and now holds first rank IN the
short list Of the Confederate generals
still alive.
General Longstreet requested the AS
soc,ated Press TO publish a statement
written by himself He said 10 the cor
resnondent that ii was fitting on such
an occasion that he should speak. for he
,yas with Grant at West Point. served in
the same regiment with him before the
u,.r and even introduced him to the
woman who became his wife. The state
roont as General Longstreet wrote it,
Is as follows:

CAssIM BEHIND PRISON BARS.
His Bank Almost PenniIcss-Re-
ceivers for u. :. Bond Company.

MEMPHIS. TENN, April pa special
TO the Commerclal-Appoal from Atlanta,
Ca, says: Harry A. Cassin. the cashier
Of the Georgia Savings, Loan and Bank
ing Company. who yesterday confessed
to being n defaulter 10 the extent Of Si5,
900, and whose friends had agreed to pay
up his shortage to keep him out Of jail,
is tonight behind the bars of Fulton
prison. AT a meeting of the Board of
Directors OF the institution which was
robbed, held this evening, a brief exami-
nation of the books was made, and this
resulted in the astounding discovery that
the bank. which was supposed to be one
OF the most prosperous i'm the State, had
barely cents worth OF assets. Instead
of the shortage being $4,000 it will be
several times that sum. and instead OF
young Cassin being the bearer of the
entire guilt, 1t is now believed that at
least one other conspicuous official will
share a cell with him within the next
few hours.
a remarkable chain of evidence has been
the immediate result of Cassin's en-
forced confession. When President G. V.
Gress, of the bank, and the Board of
Directors agreed with Judge Hillyer, Cas-
sins father-in-law. to make good the
shortage, the matter was believed 10
have been settled. AS the amount Of the
defalcatlon steadily increased. however,
Morgan Gress, who is the son and sole
heir of the banks president, went into
court with an application for a receiver
for the concern. Judge Lumpkin set next
Saturday as the date for the hearing
Judge Hitler withdrew. and a warrant
was sworn out for the arrest of Cassin
and he was taken at once into custody.
Almost Immediately application was
made for receivers for the United States
Bond Company. Of which Gress is presi-
dent and Cassin cashier, and the court
Immediately appointed them. The com
pany has over 400 agents at work in diff
ferent cities. Several hundred dollars
worth of it's bonds have been held as gilt
edged securities by people in Memphis
New York, Boston, Philadelphia, and
Chicago
Following the arrest of Cassin, the
Board Of Directors and stockholders went
into secret session. and, 1t is said, ar
ranged for the swearing out of further
warrants. Mr.. Gress. the president OF
both corporations, is a resident of New
York, and is president of the Phonograph
Manufacturing Company.
The stockholders will probably be in
session all night. for the books of both
companies are in very bad condition.
