A Valuable Find.

A most interesting and historically valuable find was made by priest the other day at bennington. England. For the not very formidable sum of Id. he purchased from a street bookseller somewhat worn but still excellent copy of an illuminated Missal of the seventeenth century. The covers of the book being damp with mold, he put the little volume before the fire. To his surprise and delight one of the covers split open and disclosed on the fly leaf the inscription. Charles Ed ward; his Roke" It is indubitable that the book was the personal prop erty of the Pretender, and that it was left behind him in some country house upon his retreat from bennington.

Tonnd Valuable PanYri.

Buried under rubbish and debris of fallen houses and temples two mem bers of the Egyptian exploration fund have found valuable papyri and objects of domestic use preserved from the ancient and famous classic Greek town in Egypt Oxyrhyncus. Among them is this petition for alimony:
 "To Heraclides, priest. chief justice and superintendent of Chramatistae and other courts. from Syra, daughter of Theon: married Saraphion, bring ing him by cession dowry amounting to 200 drachmae of silver. As he had no means of his own at all, I received him into my parents house, and I, for my part, conducted myself blamelessly in all respects. But Saraphion, having squandered my dowry as he pleased, was constantly ill-treating me and in sulting me, and using violence to- wards me, and. having reduced me to poverty, he finally deserted me, leay- ing me in destitute condition. There- fore, I beg you, that he be compelled perforce to pay back my dowry, with an addition of half it's amount. This petition is without prejudice to the other claims that 1 have upon him. '

LIFE ON ISLAND OF ST. HELENA
Inhabitants Happy and oontented and
 Crime Almost Unknown.

Nflihe 3InOSI GnknoWn.
 From the New York Times: Few people ever think of St. Helena except as rock in the sea on which Napoleon lived while miserably and then more miserably died That the greatest of anti-climaxes was not the end of the little islands history is hard to realize, possibly because a poet or romancer would have made it the end, and c continuation is therefore more or less unnatural and absurd. Be that as It may, St. Helena has remained the abid- ing place of ordinary human beings who concern themselves very little about the colossal ghost generally SUD- posed to be the islands only inhabi tant, and the report to the English government just made by their gov ernor shows that they have joys and sorrows exactly like those of the folks dwelling in places less tragically fa- nous. For instance, the revenues of the island last year were &9,l52, a de- cidedly comfortable sum, but alas! the expenditures amounted to Z 312 ,349, and that is an excess of outgo not comfort able at all. The governor says, how ever, that the bad balance was due to some extraordinary drains upon the islands resources, and that he antici pates a substantial surplus for the cur rent year. A recent increase of tho garrison and extensive improvements now making by the colonial and im perial authorities assure the imme- diate prosperity of the islanders St. Helena has no public debt, but is pay ing off by small annual installments noninterest-bearing grant of e5,000 made by parliament in 1871. The im- ports, chiefly foodstuffs and building materials, amounted last year to 962,- 985, and the exports, almost wholly po tatoes to $ ,391. Lacemaking has been introduced among the girls of the is land with great success, and the gov ernor is experimenting with the manu- facture of brick and tile. The whal- CTS have now entirely deserted St. Helena, the few ships engaged in that industry keeping far to the north or south The total population of the is- land is 4,543. The governor hopes that winter visitors from England may be tempted by the salubrity of the eli mate to try St. Helena, which is su- perior, he says, in some respects to that of Madeira and the Canary islands. He says the people as a whole compare fayorably with the English agricul- tural population; with few exceptions all can read and write, and the lan= guage= is spoken with greater purity than in many districts at home. AS 8 rule the people are happy and con tented, with little crime among them and much kindness in helping each other. Strangers are greatly impressed with the general civiIity shown by them to old and young.
