A REMARKABLE MANUSCRIPT,
The Original Order for the Crucffyion
OF Jesus Christ.

The following newspaper clipping
was sent to Mr.. Nathaniel jacob, of
this city, in 1866, by Mr.. Henry D.
Alexander, of Charleston, an intimate
friend of Mr.. jacob:
Among the manuscripts which were
probably burned in the conf1agration
of the archiepiscopa1 palace at Bour-
.ges, France, the most remarkable was
without doubt the order for the exc
|cution of Jesus Christ, which was the
personal property of the family de la
Tour d'Auvergne. The order runs
thus:
Jesus of Nazareth, Of the Jewish
tribe of Juda, convicted of imposture
and rebellion against the divine au-
Ithority Of the Tiberius Augustus. en-
peror of the Romans, having for this
sacrilege been condemned to die on
the cross by sentence of the judge,
Pontius PLATE, on the prosecution of
our lord, Herod, lieutenant of the en-
peror of Judea, shall be taken tomor-
row morning, the 23rd day of the Ides
of March, to the usual place of pun
ishment, under the escort of a COM
PAW of the ~praetorian guard. The
~so-called king of the Jews shall be
taken out by the Strunean gate. All
the public officers and the subjects of
the empero are directed to lend their
aid to the execution of this sentence.
(Signed.) "CAPEL-
Jerusalem, 22nd day of the Ides of
March, year of Rome, 783."

AWFUL COST OF BoER WAR.
England Has Spent $4,000 for Every
Burpher Conquered.

The financial aspect of the Boer wal
is gradually assuming the chief i'm
p0rtance in the public mind. Sir
Michael Hicks Beach g speech Is eager
ly studied and commented upon. Gen.
eral satisfaction is expressed in regard
to his hint that the government is de-
termined to disregard the impudent
protest OF the mins-owners, and that
it will saddle upon them fair Share of
expenditure.
1t is, however, felt that prompt &C
tion is necessary to get the mines in
working order, in view of the re-settle-
ment Of the country, and to allay the
agitation at the Cape regarding the
destitute outlanders who are refugees
there. This leads the government to
make more favorable terms with the
mine-owners than the justice OF the
case warrants.
Taking even Hicks Beach's anti
election estimate as basis, the war is
costing $35, ,000. 900 q month, SO that at
least S12O, ,O0o. 900 will be needed before
the end of the year and another $780,
O0O, 900 at the end Of the war to bring
the army home, 30 that in any case it
will mean increased taxation and an
increased debt.
1t will probably be found that 1t has
cost more than sc, 900 to conquer each
BOer. Therefore, it is not to be won
