AVOIIDS Of P11E31DENXS Tlio OloslnR Moments In tlio tilvca ol the Hcpnbllc'H Chief Cleveland I ftJor. In n late letter I told yon something of the last days of the presidents , but 1 omitted to aay much as to their dcntha. Wo hnvo preserved the lait words of them. John Adnms and Thornns JelTer- eon both died on the tame day , and that the 4th of July , 1820. They wore friends during their latter yoarg , and Adams' last worda ware : "Thomas Jeffor- 8on still lives , " but history shows that ho was mistaken. Jefferson had died nil hour before , exclaiming : "Lord , now lottost thou thy servant depart in piacc , " and "I resign n > y soul to Qed and my daughter to my country. " John Qulncy Adams gave his lait breath in the capltol at Washington , saying : "This Is the end of earth ; 1 am content , " and Gen. Harri son , who died la the whtto house , eaid "Sir , I wish you to understand the prin clploa of government. I wish them car ricd out. I ask nothing more. " Oarfiold'a laat reported words , ni lu lay racked by his terrible wound , were "Oli , Hut pain ! " Bub Lincoln became unconscious when ho waa chot , and re mained BO tilt ho died. Oeorgo Wash ington was aano during his last hour * and ho spent them in calmly arranging his afciM. Ho told hia wife to bring two wills which ho had made , and to burn ono of them. Ho then grasped his pulse with ono hand ana counted the beats until ho dropped back dead. Wash Ington died of a cold , Polk of the chol era , Andrew Johnson of paralysis , and Gen. Harrison of cold , pleurisy and cholera inarbui. President Jaokeon was for thirly-ono years a diseased man , and the latter part of hia llfo rras spent in nl moat continuous pain. Even on his death-bod ho was tortured by office-Book- . "I " Baid he "as fast ers. am dying , , as I can , and they know It ; but they keep swarming about mo in crowds , sookiug for office intriguing for oflico. " His deathbed scone was a most affecting ono , A half an hour before his death hia chil dren and friunda were standing around his bedside , and his adopted son Andrew liad taken his hand and whispered in his oar : "Father , how do you feel ? Da you know mo ? " "Know you ? Yes , I should know you ill if I could BOO. Bring mo my specta cles. " These were brought and put on him , md ho said : "Whoro Is my daughter md Marian ? God will take care of you for mo. I am my God'u. I belong to , Him. I go but a short tlmo before yon and I want to meet you all , white and black , in hoajoa. " At this all burst Into tears , and the general said : "What is the matter with von , my dear children ? Hnvo I alarmed vou ? Oh , don't cry. Bo good children , and wo will all moot in heaven. " Theno were Jackaon'a last words. A ahort tlmo after this ho passed peace fully away. Ho died a Chrtaliau and a Presbyterian. Thomas Jefferson waa more of a deist than anything olac , and when ho died he laid ho would bo glad to BOO a preacher who called "as a good neighbor , " thereby ntimating that ho did not care o ieo him professionally. There -rraa 10 preacher present at Washing- ion's death-bod , and there is doubt as to lij belief. The two Adams believed in Unitarian doctrines , and it is said that Fohn Qulncy Adams , during his last fears , never wont to sleep without re seating that little child's prayer : Now I lay mo down to sloop , I pray the Loitl my soul to keep ; If 1 should die before I wake , I i > rny the Lord my eonl to take. There is considerable doubt as to Lincoln's Christianity , but his beat friends believe him to have boon a be liever. Ho waa certainly a great bible reader , and nndeistood it thoroughly. Frank Fierce wna an Episcopalian and a church member. Gen. Grant and Hayes attended the Methodist church while In the white houss , and Garfield spent his Sundays at the chapel of the Disslples. John Tyler was , 1 think , a Presbyterian , though his second wifa was a Catholic. Dolly Madison was an Episcopalian , whatever her husband may have been , and the old church which oho attended years ago ntlll otands , and in it President Arthur worships to-day. A. School Teacher's Application Re jected , 011 City lilizzard. An Oil City young man , uho hadn't ' any money to speak of nor to purchase edibles , concluded ho would teach school. Ho applied to the county snpeiintoiidcnt * or n certificate. That individual pro cceded to examine him : "Do you understand the rudiments ? " asked the siipo > intcndcnt. "I do , " replied the young man , with the mental reservation "not1' added to relieve lievo his conscience. "How about grammar ? " "I'm olT , " answered the would-bo Auelder of the rod. "Do you parse ? " "I want to. " "Want to what ? " "Want to patso this examination , " re plied the npp icant. "You do neb understand mo , " ex plained tlio superintendent. "I asked if you parsed. " "Uh , I tumble. Yes , I always parse uhcu 1 don't have a good hand , unless I play it for a euchro. " JJo was then given a certificate to play first base in the Franklin ball club next season. Righting Girl's Wrongs , Special dispatch to the Globo-Democrat. TALLAHASSEE , Fla. , January 18. The facts of a recent marriage in Mariana , in which the name of State Senator McKin- nio was mixed up as having aided parties to force J. D. Smith into marrying Miss 61. L. Long , have jiut been given to tliu public. Miss Long was the daughter pf John Long , ono of the most icspectei orange-grow crs of the county. Smitl about n year ago came from Georgia ant set up in business , and soon won thu girl's affections by his foreign nays. Bho misted him , as she alleges to her ruin. This revelation tlnow her father into des porntion and ho resolved to kill Smith , but was dissuaded by Senator McKinnio , who as Long's attorney instituted lega proseudlngr , Long went home , took to oed and in a few days died from mortifi cation over the shame which had boci brought upon his family. The tragic na tnro of his death attracted an Immlnci utendanco at the funeral. After the .xromouy was over and the crowds silent * iy turned away from the grave a group rf two men remainoi there , among whom era James A. FinlayBou , Mils Long' ' * incle , and J. 11. Bawk-u. Clasping loft i&nda acrota the new-mado grave and raising tight hands to heaven , the Cvt urn took an oath that they would com pel Smith to marry the ruined girl or ullow thu broken-Louted father to ill' { r ve. The eceno as described by ono cf thu mtncttce v , tg moat eoluain , days later Mr , Finlayson called at the atoro of Smith , In Mariana , acd otked him to take a ride in a buggy. No sooner Ind the horse started off thin the party waa increased by four horse men , ono in front and rear and ono on each aide. Finding himself in n conspir acy Smith attempted to csapt > , when i display of weapons told him that ho wa a prlfonor , Taken to Mr. Flnlayson'i homo ho waa first told what ho had to do marry the girl or take the consequences , Miss Long was brought in and her ham was placed in that ot Smith , whcro i was hold by ono man while the otho three hold Smith In place at the glrl'i side. 'Squiro Griflin parformod the marriage riago ceremony , Smith's negative uol being hooded , and when the girl replied .affirmatively they were pronounced man and wifo. The now-mad o husband was compelled to kiss his wife , his head being hold while she did the osculation and then the door was opened and Sraltl was told to go. On his arrival In Marl ana his story created an unbounded son- latlon. Ho wont to Thomasvillo , Go. caving his brldo behind him. TEXjEQltAPIIKllB' PAUAJjJfBIS. StraiiRO Ailment That Frequently IMtmblca the Uoat Operators , 'hlladolphtn ' Times. "During the last three weeks I hare boon unable to use my pen , " said Super intendent Walker , of the city's electrical department , and have boon compelled to dictate my correspondence. I am suffer ing from telegraphers' paralysis. My right arm is useless , rendered BO by my working in and around batteries , testing their strength , and from the repeated . shocks I have received. "Any ono handling the koya of an op- porntor'a board is subject to thla ailment. It is first observed in the muscles of the arm , which bucomo benumbed after a hard day's work. A few months after the first shock the Btoutoat operator will succumb. My physician has had mo under treatment for a month , but as yet does not appear to have benefited mo much. "Any muscular work , such as lifting heavy packages , I can readily accomplish , but it is only with great difficulty that I can button my coat. Last summer our chief operator complained of a pain in his ami , and I insisted upon his taking a complete rest , and since bis return ho has not been attacked. On the night of election , when the returns came pouring in on us , ono of our best men was struck and was compelled to give up. " Superintendent Gill , of the Western Union operating rooms , said that many men. after serving the company for years were compelled to throw up their posi tions on account of this form of paralysis. Many mistakes have been traced to the same source , as the slightest pressure on the key will produce other than the letter an operator wishes to indicate. Ho will often charge the mistake to a defect in the machinery , but in the end must ad mit of his inability to work. When an operator is first attacked ho will simply attribute it to overwork , but ho soon finds . that his keen senco of touch his dis , appeared. In nearly every cnso it is a first-class operator that is affected. A food transmitter is paid a largo salary , but must keep continually working at his hoard , nhilo a second or third rate man has many resting spells which allow him to stretch his arms. Reflections on the Roseate of Life. Bill Nyo. To the young the future has ragl'A lino. The roseate line comes high , but wo hare to use it In this pi. ce. To the young there spreads out a glorious range of possibilities. After tbo youth has In dorsed for an intimate friend a few times , and purchased the paper at the bank later on , the horizon won't seam to horizon so tumultously as it did aforetime. I re member at ono time of purchasing such a piece of accommodating paper at a bank , and I still have it. I didn't need it any more than a cat needs eleven tails at ono and the earno time. Still the bank made It an object to me , and I secured it. such things as these harshly knock the flail' and bloom off the cheek of youth , and prompt 113 to turn the strawberry box bottom side up before wa purchase it. Youth is gay and hopeful , ago la covered with experience and scars where the skin has boon knocked off and had to grow on again. To the young a dollar looks large and strong , but to the mlddlo-oged and the old it is weak and inefiiclent. When we are in the heyday and fizz of existence , wo bellovo every thing , but after a while wo murmur , " Want's that you're givin' us , " or words of a llko character. Ago brings caution and a lot of chop-worn experience pur chased at the highest market price. Time brings vain regrets and wisdom teeth that can bo loft in a glass of water over night. Sporting Item , Henry Rowers , Bob Allen , Jim Mere dith and several other citizens , were out on Onion Creek on last Sunday shooting : quail. They were shooting near Si Jackson's place , and Si watched them in tently.

A gentleman bought a ticket In the lottery from an agent , who saloctod the number for him. The ticket won the first prizeof $150,000. Feeling under obligations to tlio agent , the winner told him : "You can draw on mo for ? 500 a year as long as you live. " "I'd rather have a 81,000 io. cosh , " re plied the agent.- "But man alive , you may live fifty years yet. Just BOO what you lose by tak ing a § 1,000 down.

Melbourne ( Australia ) Spectator , Some merriment was created in a Bal- lart church on Hospital Sunday by a somewhat abort-sighted mistake on the part of the preacher. Ho was in the habit of wearing glatsea , but had tesn unfortunate enough to forget them. Custom enabled him to got through the preliminary part cf the service without much difiiculty , but when he attempted to rjad the scriptures his ditlUu'tles com menccd , and when ho turned to the ap > pointed p ge inngino the surprise if the Audicnco as the preacher proceeded ; "And Ahab raid unto Elijih doirrne , I'VD ItiH uiy opiciaclea in my ragl' A VAMJABIjE BOOK. The Mazarln Blblo the Most Costly Hook In the Worjd , London Letter to the I'lttsburg Dispatch. If not the rarest book in the world and it certainly is not the "Mmtin Blblo" now ranks as decidedly the most costly ; and the next to it is an edition of Bocaclo's stories , in point of morals the opposite polo of literature. Last Satur day , at the sate of the Syston Park library at public auction , a copy of the Mazarin bible waa sold for ? 19COO. Th IB by far the highest price over paid for book. The next highest price was paid dozen or so years ago for another copy o ; the Mazarin bible , printed on vellum and now in the great Ashbnrnham li brary , and that was § 17,000. Up to tha time that wan at the Perkins sale , 1 think , In 1873 the highest price on record -was the $ H000 paid In 1812 at the flftlo of the Dnko of lloxburg's library by the Marquis of Blanchford , afterword Duke of Marlborongh , for a copy o Boocciclo , known as the "Valdarfo ; Boccacio"and printed at Venice in 1741 , It would bo of interest to calculate how much these great prices represent per pound of the weight of the books. Doubtless it would bo found that the volumes wcra worth many times their weight in gold. They might also well bo compared with Iho original value of the hooks , and with the sums the original rallies would have reached had they been it compound interest for these -100 odd poats. But I leave such problems for ; hose with a greater fondness for matho- natics than 1 over boasted , A moro practical question is , why did .his Blazatin bible bring so much ? I onfcss no good reason is apparent. I do lot see why it should have brought moro ban or so much ai the § 17,000 paid for ho Ashburnham library copy. Indeed , t should not have brought nearly as nuch , for that uas printed on vellum and his was on paper. At that same Pcr- dns sale , in 1873 , there was sold another tlazarin bible , on paper , for $13,450 , now ho property of Mr. Huth. The copy old last week is not worth as much as hat , for that ono is probably the finest look printed on paper in the world. It vas and is absolutely perfect , not a leaf rimmed by the binder , nor eaten by vorms , nor torn , nor soiled , while the > rinting was remarkable , oven for this re- narkablo work , which , after 400 years aid more , is still the most perfect spcci- nen of the printers art in the world. The copy sold last week is a poor OHO , cally. Many pages have been torn and laten and clumsily mended. Stains and litt abound. But worst of all , it was tc- > ound less than a hundred years ago , and ho fool who did the rork cut off an inch ir two of margin , making the pages look orcly cramped. Iho binding is of blue notocco , heavily covered and almost cou- icalcd with gilt put on in garish designs ind with no regard whatever to taste or nopricty. The insidcs of the covers are ivon worse , being lined with a particu- arly offensive shade of red silk. Alto- ; [ cther it is an example of a splendid book .Imost ruined by the ravages of insects nd binders. And yet it brought § 2.500 : uoro than any other book in the world. U the same sale , what would Mr. Huth's opy have brought ? Proportionately , it is rorth fully § 50,000. Last Saturday afternoon the sale that 'broko the record" took place. The : mall and uncomfortable auction room ' ras crowded to suffocation , mostly with aero spectators , for , of course , there were lot many actual bidders. Many book- dealers were there , some from Paris , Ber- in and St. Petersburg. Next to tlio uctioncer sat M. Morgaad , a great Paris ollector , who was determined to carry ho book back with him , no matter how nuch it might cost him. Next to him sat nr famous London dealer , Mr. Quatitch , rho purchased the § 13,450 copy at the 'erkms sale and afterward let Mr. Huth lave it at less than cost. Mr. Quaritch 3 a bulldog-looking man , and ho pulled lia slouch hat over his ears and planted ; lis two elbows on the table with the air if a man who will brook no rivalry. The famoas book waa passed around wo big volume mostly for the benefit if sikhtecora. The men who had intend- id to bid on it had long before examined t carefully. Then Mr. Wilkinson , the luctionner a qalet , oasy-speaklng man remarked that the book would not bo mocked down for less than 2,500 , and ind invited bdlfl. "Five hundred pounds , " slid some mo. mo."Ono thousand , " growled Mr. Quar tch , contemptuously. Arid then , 50 it a step , tbo book advanced , Mr. Qaar- tch and Mr. Snowdcn , a commission : lork , being the bidders , until 3,060 ivas bid by the latter. That wai all ho mi been commissioned to bid , and so , irhen Mr. Quaritch said " 3,700 , " there rvas for a minute no response. Finally , Mr. Ellis , a London collector , bid 50 nero , and a thrill of oxcltemont ran hrongh the crowd , for Mr. Ellis is a do- ormlned bidder. But Mr. Quaritch , carcoly deigning to glanca at his now op , ) onent , at once- settled the matter by aislng that bid , not by 50 , but by 150 it a jump. To his dogfjed " 3,000" hero was no response. The hammer 'ell. The great French dealer had not nado a single bid. Now , a paragraph about the book and its history. It Is called the Mazarin Bible licauso it was first noticed In the Mazarin library at Paris. Twenty-seven : opieo of it are in exlstonco , of which lovon are printed on vellum and the ithers on paper. Two copies are in the British Museum and two in the National Library at Paris. The book bears no Inscriptions showing when or where printed. It is well Bottled tled , however , that It waa the first book aver printed from movable metallic types , and wai printed by Faust and Buttonberg at Mayenco between 1450 > nd 1455 , The paper edition in the Paris library boars a written Inscription on the lait page , stating that the work pf illumining and binding. It waa finished in August 145G. The work IB in two volumes , folio , and is printed In large Gotblo typo , two columns to a page and about G50 pages to , a volume. It is only of late that it has brought very high prices. At the beginning of tills cen tury copies were aold at § 100 to § 500 3 ch , aud this Identical copy which last week brought § 19,500 changed hands in 182tor 1825for ? 1,075.

I looked up the laws of the states then and dlecovercd that they varied greatly. The last paper constituted the credentials proper. The paper signed by the judges was the certification to the successful candidate that ho had boon alected. Several of the states send their notices of the olcctlona direct to con jrcss , but moro turn the certificates over to the representatives elect and lave to them the filing of credentials. "Some states required a formal accopt- uica of the office , " continued Gen. 31ark. "This is the caeo with Georgia. Iho governor notifies the successful can lldato , and the office must bo accepted ay letter , or the governor claims that no ino has boon chosen , and a now election xiust bo hold. " The clerk is receiving some curious letters In respond to his unofficial list recently tent out. Ono Nebraska mem ber elect whoso name is put down as G. W. E. Doissy writes : "Please correct jo as to read George W. E. Dorsey. " Another ono who is entered as "Fred W , " replies : "My name ia Frederick , Please make tin change , as Froi and Frederick are not the same names. " The clerk's office ia not the place for filing notices of contsat , but several de feated candidates have sent them io , The most remarkable Is that which comes from the Cameron candidate In the Virginia district whcro Brady was elected. The contestant was put on the ticket after fa former nominee had died. Ho writes that by virtue of his strong vlewd lu favor of atrlct observance of the Sabbath ho received a heavy vote. But unfortunately , the fact of the death of his predecessor on the ticket was not generally known , and many cast votes for the dead man. If those were counted for contestant it would bo shown that he was elected instead of Brady , and ho praya that tbii nisy bo done as an act of justice to the friend of the Lord's day.
