REMARKABLE MANUSCRIPT. \ Rig Price Feld for the Ancient Volume “KTangolla {Juatnor." The splendid manuscript of the "Evangelia Quatuor" which for over 60 years has been in the possession of the earls of Ashburnham, was sold re cently by private treaty to a purchaser who is not an Inhabitant of England. The price paid is 150,000, probably the highest sum ever paid for a single vol ume. Tho history of the volumes, one of the most important and beautiful examples of early goldsmiths’ and Jew elers’ art in existence, is d finite and simple. It belonged for r.iaay centu ries to the Abbey of Noble t'anoness, founded A. D. 834, by the Emperor Lewis the Pious, at Landau, on the Lake of Constance. The binding is formed of stout boards lined on the in side with ancient embroidered slik and covered with our Savior on the cross the surface with raised borders and lines of fretwork in gold and studded with eir ihirea, car bun- precious sto formed int ! r of p> ' > pre . c! book date ju.. oi tho eighth century, or probably rather later. This Evangcliarium, or Textus, is not mere ly Interesting as a work of art; it is associated on the one side with the early history of Christianity in Hava na, and tho part which tho Irish ec i clesiastics took in its introduction into | that district, and on the other with I that great dynasty which played so j important a part in tho history of Eu | rope. As far as the manuscript itself is concerned, it is not enriched with tho lino miniatures which adorn the best examples of tho Carlovinglan school, and the Inside of the book is distinctly less interesting than the out side. It consists of 220 pages of vel lum, 12% Inches by 10 inches, anil com prises the text of tho four gospels of Jerome’s version, preceded by their ar guments or prefaces. (St. Luke having two), and by the epiRtle of Jerome to the Pope Damasus, with tales of tho Euscbian Canons. The writing i3 of German origin and the text is by sev eral scribes, written not earlier than 950, The appearance of an unpreten tious book In such a splendid dress is explained by tho probability that the manuscript lias usurped the place of an older and finer copy, more In harmony with the covers. and Silver In Colorado. Eight years ago the silver production of Colorado was worth six times the value of the gold production. Last yiv.r the gold production was two and a half times the value of tho silver. specialties: Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat' Sp -ctaoles correctly fitted and Supplied. O'NEILL, NEB. QUEER DRAFT ANIMALS. Even the Pig 8ometlme<t U*«-d to Draw Vehicle*. When Lord Curzon. the viceroy of India, went to visit one of the native princes recently he was surprised to see in the gorgeous procession which met him two rhinoceroses ridden by postillions. A team almost as strange as that of the Indian nabob is the team of four zebras owned by Walter Roths child. The banker drives the beasts himself and they never fail to attract attention. All visitors to Belgium are familiar with the little carts carrying fruit, milk or vegetables, and drawn by one or more powerful-looking dogs. In former days dogs were much more used for draught purposes than they are now. A well-known character who was known as “Old Lai” used to race the coaches on the North road running out of London with a team of dogs. He constructed for himself a sort of buck board and had harnessed ' >ur foxhounds, who would cov i tances at a great pace. X e instance is on record of o ; used in place of saddle r drawing light traps. h known as Oliver W. ms >y day pulling a buggy along the roads near Jacksonville, Fla. A wealthy man of Vienna named Doller once built a carriage to which he attached two bears, while a third was trained to sit beside him on the box seat. With this extraordinary turnout Doller appeared in the streets of the Austrian capital, but complaints were soon made to the police that the bears scared horses and provoked runaways. Doller was for bidden to drive his team in the city. He then started a team of trained wolves, hut again the police objected to Ills displaying his eccentricities in the streets of Vienna, and he gave up tho attempt to divert the public with strange turnouts. But the palm for ec centricity in turnouts must be given to an Englishman named Huddy, who when 97 years old traveled from Lis more to Fermoy in an oyster tub set on wheels and drawn by a pig, a bad ger, two cats, a goose and a hedgehog He wore a red nightcap on his head and carried a whip in one hand and a tin horn in the other. One Drnwlmck to Deportation. Minister Wu Ting Fang was recently told a story in regard to the Chinese exclusion act that pleased him notice ably. Soon after the act was passed the secretary of state received a letter from Pennsylvania, signed by a China man. The writer said that he had come to this country under false pre tenses and hence he should be deported to China immediately. The request was so strange that the secretary ot state ordered an investigation The agent reported a few days 1 ‘hat the Chinaman's statement he way In which ho entered y was correct and that he i ported. There was o: c, however. The Chinaman victed of murder and sent e ""legal advertisements. LEGAL NOTICE. M. I*. Kinkaip, Attorney.
