An Ancient Bible.

In the Cottonian library in England
is an old manuscript copy of part OF
the Bible in Latin. The London
Chronicle says it was used at the cor.
onations Of English sovereigns BOG
years before the ''stone of destiny
was brought from Scone to Westmin-
ster by Edward l.
If this be true, the use of this Bible
for the purpose dates back to the year
1000. 1t is quarto OF 217 leaves, con
tanning the four gospels, and seems
from the style of the writing and illR
limitations. which are very beautiful
to have been made about the end OF
the ninth century.
1t narrowly escaped destruction ir
the fire at Ashburnham House in 1881
of which it bears evidence in its
crumpled leaves and singed margins
There is some evidence that the son OF
Edward the Elder, Athelstan the Clio
rious, who was king of the West Sax
ons from 925 to $40, owned this Bible
and gave it to the church of Dover.

Naporeon Cot ais suankine,

During his exile at Elba Napoleon
related that one day his mothers
mother was hobbling along the street
in Ajaccio, Corsica. and that he and
his sister Pauline followed the old
lady and mimicked her. Their grand
mother, happening to turn, caught
them in the act. She complained to
Nine. Letitia. Pauline was at once
spanked" and disposed of. Napoleon,
who was out in regimentals, could not
be handled. His mother blded her
time. Next day, when her son was off
his guard, she cried: Quick. Napo-
leon! You are invited to dine with the
GOVERNOR He ran up to. his room tc
change his clothing. She quietly fol;
lowed and when she judged that the
proper time had come rushed into the
room, seized her undressed hero before
he guessed her purpose, laid him across
the maternal knee and belabored him
earnestly with the fat OF her hand.

Most travellers ia Japan would sup

Yokohama writes to the Kobe Chroni-
Gle: For several years after the insti-
tuition Of the jinrikisha it was general
ly understood among foreigners in Yo-
kohama that Mr.. Goble, half cobbler,

EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT
PREACHERS LOVE LETTERS.

One of the things about women which
has always puzzled the ordinary, aver
arge man is their preference for preach
ers as husbands. Three years ago the
Rev. Joseph Lester, of Indian Territory,
had the misfortune to lose his wife.
Hardly had decent perled of mourn
ing elapsed when love letters began to
pour in upon the desolate widower. Not
less than 1000 eligible and doubtless
charming ladies, according to Mr.. Les
ter's account, wrote love letters to him.
The gifted preacher undertook to ans
wer this yoluminous correspondence by
his own hand. 1t is to be noted that he
did not dictate them to a blonde type
writer, and he says that he believes he
has written more love letters than any
other man in the United States.
Now he has selected $50 of the most
ardent, wistful. and rapturous of the
epistles he has received and will publish
them as models of style. He is thought
full enough to omit the signatures, and
with this omission the writer's perhaps
will not object to the publication.
Although it may not be in the best of
taste to make public the tender mis-
sives. even without the signatures, and
although it may be an evidence of cler-
ical vanity. still such book will not be
without interest. Not long since the
love letters of some lady in England
were published. These letters were
widely read, notwithstanding the fact
that every one agreed they were extrem-
ely dreary. The subject itself is at
tractive, and the Rev. Mr.. Lester's cor
respondence may shed some light on
the vexed question ~'hy women like to
marry preachers.
1t has been suggested that the true
explanation Of this matter is found in
the natural missionary spirit which
every woman has. For next to marry
ing preacher woman is apt to prefer
the. delightfully."- bad man. In the latter
case she marries in order 70 effect re-.
form, and She narries the preacher, per-
haps, because the position of preachers
wife is one full of missionary possibil-
tiles. It is delightful to be at the head
OF the sewing circle, and almost thrill
ling to be. the boss OF the Dorcas society.
Then the church fair has it's attrac-
tions. According to the mathematics
of probabilities, the preachers wife
stands an excellent chance of winning
thecrazy quilt at the rattle, and she has
been known to go home in the evening
loaded down with the Partisan doll
and the plum cake in addition.
Mr.. Testers book will seryeae guide
for lovers. It will be lovers ready
writer, and it will have an original love
poem at the end. We await the appear
ance of the interesting volume with
the utmost impatience.

Mere Maiden Timiaitx.

"Well, num-" said the cook as she
entered the parlor with her bundle In
her hand. II must be after goin' away
this mornin'."
"What do you mean? Why are you
going?" asked her astonished mistress.
Il am goin' to be married next
week.

1t requires no small measure of enthu-
siasm for any people to march through
the mud and rain 5000 strong, with
brass bands and banners f1yingin sup
port of any demand whatever. But no.
body denies that the Cubans are an en-
thusiastic people, and those 5000 pat
riots, no doubt, gave honest and truth
full expression to the national demand
in support of the cock pit.
Already the voice of the annexationist
is heard throughout this land citing the
cock fighting episode as proof conclusive
of the unftness of the Cuban people for
self government. So, let US at once
suppress their aspirations for freedom
and cock fighting by annexing. them to
this mighty and righteous and prize
fighting republic. Such is the uncondi-
tional policy of the wAe and influential
persons who think that justice should
be done to Cuba only in strict accord
ance with the great Anglo-Saxon con-
ception of what constitutes justice, NOR
atty, recreation and amusement.
The Citizen, believes that the Cubans
should have their cock fighting If they
want it. The regulation of their taste
is none of our business. There are many
other things, perhaps, which might be
more promotive of the Cuban moral
and aesthetic welfare, but there proba-
bly, is none more essential to the happi-
ness of the Cuban in his moments of
gaiety when he seeks recreation. The
disposition of the cocks ought not per-
haps to be taken into account, at least
affirmatively, in estimating the worthi-
nees of the Cuban demand; but if it is
considered at all it certainly does not
initiate against the right of the Cubans
to select and maintain cock fighting as
their national sport. 1t is better than
bull fighting or man fighting, or even
football playing, since it does not in any
wise directly imperil more or less valua-
BILE human life.
Nature gave these birds their spurs to
use; and if their use is necessary to
maintain the national gaiety of free
people, then let nature have the final
say.
