An Ancient Manuscript. The general feeling < f scholars, says the .Scotsman in regard to manuscripts of ancient writers is that almost all have been discovered that there is any hope of discovering. TfiV feeling, however, has been happily disappointed in sever¬ al cases. The recent finding of a manu script of Clement, ItomahMs and other early ecclesiastical writers ill Constanti¬ nople gave an agreeable surprise, to stu¬ dents of church history. In no depart¬ ment have such discoveries been more surprising and more valuable than those in connection w.th the New Testament. Tischendorf in his wanderings among libraries in all parts of tlie world came upon many leaves of old New Testament manuscripts, and crowned his investiga¬ tions by unearthing in Dio .Sinaitic monastery tho most complete manu¬ script of the New Testament in exist¬ ence belonging loan early date. The issuing of a trustworthy edition of the “ Codex Vaticanus ” iti our ago may al¬ so be deemed a real discovery. In this way tlie two manuscripts which will he hold in future as most valuable in determ¬ ining the text of the New Testament iiave become kpown to scholars only within tlie hist twenty years. We have now to record tlie discovery of another manuscll P t of a Portion of tlie New Tes tament, written at a very early period. The merit of the discovery is due to two German scholars scholars, Oscar Oscai V V. Cel.har.lt Gel.li.lrdt and Adolf Hornach, whose edition of the “ Apostolic Fathers ” has deserved ly received the warmest commendation. These scholars were enabled through tlie munificence of the German government and tlie endowment attached to Leipzig university, to make a journey in March of this year to .Southern Italy and Sicily, in which they resolved to search for manuscripts. Their attention was so¬ cially directed to notice of a monastery at Itossano, near the gulf of Tarentum, in j which important manuscripts were said 1 r* “ *»» «"«~ traces of the monastery, but they heard that there was a very old book preserved ln tlie P alaco of the archbishop of Uossa no. Accordingly they asked permission : to see it, and to their great joy found that it was a very valuable manuscript of tlie Gospels of St. Matthew and St. Mark. They now issue an account of it in a volume just publis ed, “ Evan getiorum Codex Graecus Purpureus llos sanensis (E) Littens Argenteis sexto ut Videtur stuculo scriptus picturesque ornatus, scene Entdeckung sein wissen scaftlicher und Kunstlerischer Werth dargestelit von Oscar V. Gebhardt und Adolf Harnach, (Leipzig : Giesche & Devrient.)” description or tiie manuscript. The leaves of this manuscript are i ma materlal f e ,°, £ used throughout par ‘' hment in ’ writing and the is silver, except in the first three lines of each gospel, where the letters are gold en. There is oaly one other manuscript of . thls klnd existence . . containing . . . i ,n any portion of the New Testament, and it is in a mutilated condition, four of its leaves being in London, six in Rome, tw0 Vienna, and tlnrty-three have been more recently discovered in the isl an j ot , latinos. .. , The present volume, “ on the other hand, consistsof 188 leaves, aud contains the whole of the gospel of St. Matthew and the gospel of St. Mark The Democrat CRAWFORDVILLE, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 11, 1880. down to the middle of the fourteentii verse the sixteenth chapter. All the criteria used in judging of manuscript indicate the end of the fifth or beginning of the sixth century as the date of this, The manuscript is written in uncial characters, with two columus in eacli page. There is no separation of words. . breathing, ... accent, and only the no s!i K hUst attempt at punctuation. There are ca[i als double the size of the uncials, the Ammonia sections are in dicated and the Eusebian canons must *»™ «i*», forilcnuun, a por tion of the letter of Eusebius to Car ? ianU8 ’ and there is S'** 1 r “ con lecturing that this was followed by a ta¬ ble of the Eusebian canons. The '-Iters bear the closest resemblance to e oc curring in : manuscript of the fifth and sixth centuries. The editors reserve their remarks on the nature of the text until they publish it in full. Ail that they state now is, that it bears a strik¬ ing resemblance to that found in the other manuscript of purple parchment, that it contains some unique readings, and that it rather goes with the latter manuscripts where the Sinaitisaud Vat¬ ican differ from them. Considerable in¬ terest attaches to this manuscript from the circumstances that it contains a number of painted miniatures illustra¬ ting the life of Christ. These are among the earliest works of this kind that are extant. The editors have prepared out¬ lines of them and discuss their merits. Tlie subjects are the “ Itesuirectiou of Lazarus, ’ the “ Entrance into Jerusa¬ lem,” the “ Purification of the Temple,” the “Wise and Foolish Virgins,” the “ Last Supper and Washing the Feet,” the t t Distribution of Bread and Wine,” “ Christ in Gethsemane,” the “Healing of the Blind,” the “Kind .Samaritan,” “Christ Before Pilate,” “The Uepen tance and Death of Judas,” “ The Jews Before Pilate” and “Christ and Burab lws.” In all of them the grouping is done very artistically, and on the whole the figures arc well drawn, with much animation and expression. Some of them are interesting from a historical [mint of view, as that which portrays the dis¬ tribution of bread and wine at the Eucharist. AH of them throw light on early Christian art, and Ilarnach thinks that he sees a' closer connection between these works and Giotto than between later miniatures and that artist. Be¬ sides the New Testament scenes there are forty heads of prophets and ono or two other subjects. The Famino in Kansas. Yesterday afternoon's relief meeting at the Hoard of Trade was called to or¬ der at 5 o’clock by the President of the Board, Samuel I Smith In a few words Mr. Smith stated that the object of the meeting was doubtless known to those present, and that as the Rev. Mr Weller, of Kansas, the accredited agent of the State Aid Society, was present, he would call upon him for a narration of the condition of the section from which he had come, and a statement of exactly what he designed to ask of St. Joseph. Thus called upoh Mr. Weller rose and proceeded to plainly lay the matter tie fore his auditors. Using nothing what¬ ever of tho adventitious aids affected l.y the orator, seeking in no way, apparent ly, to rouse the sympathies of his liear ers by his manner, the story told by Mr. Weller was yet so unexpected, so com passion exciting, and so almost improba¬ ble, as existing in the United States, that tho feelings of those who listened were deeply stirred. “ It is painful to mo,” said Mr. Wel¬ ler, “ to come before you in the capacity of one asking alms. If we did not firmly believe that our own State was unable to alleviate the great amount of suffer¬ ing which now exists, and tlie greater amount which will presently exist in the counties forming our western tiers, I would not have come here at all.” Mr. Weller then went on to say that but though tlie liberality of one roan (Jay Gould), who had given a noble contri¬ bution to relieve tlie destitution of the unfortunate settlers, the suffering would have been much greater than it was in many townships. As it was, it was bad enough. He could not say just to whose door the fault of this state of things should be laid. There were doubtless many misrepresentations made by interested corporations. Horne of their announcements were so glowingly word¬ ed that the intending settler was half led to think the land in reality a Canaan, and that the sun and stars of heaven were almost at his service. The prairie was a stubborn thing. While it might be fertile, it needed cul¬ tivation ; he who would reap from the prairie must labor. A principal reason of the want of any crop this year was that the settlers of ’79 had come in too late. The soil bad not received the need¬ ful preparation, and even had there been rain there would have been a small crop. He lived at Buffalo station, on the line of the Kansas Facific Railway. In his I couDty five thousand new settlers bad j come from almost every Stale in the Union, within a year past. Many of ! them were so poor that they could not pay for the pre-emption of their lands, When disaster came they had nothing upon which to live. They had staked their all upon their latest venture and its failt^e had left tbem stranded. From the 11th day of November, 1879, until the 10th day of May. 1880, not one drop of rain pad fallen in that whole section, Wallace. Trego, Gove and other coun¬ ties, in which he lived. Tho ground was parchoY On the 19th of May there had been a very slight rain. On the 21st of May a shower which had measured a fall of atbs of au inch had come ; on of June there had been another slight ”.iu ; last week there had oeen a heav/rnin. But this latter one would suffice nothing. The corn and potatoes which had been lying in that sun-baked soil were dead. The vital principle had been as thoroughly taken from them as if lying-in a burning kiln. There was another enemy which had fallen upon the fields of the unfortunate settlers. In those sections which bad been less severely visited, aud where a modest fiKSp was springing upward to greet the harvester, there had appeared a scourge in the shape of a devouring worm. In three hours its ravages would completely destroy a field of com and leave it as hare as if its blades had never pierced tho soil to meet tho light. Through au entire belt ot counties extending from Nebraska to the south¬ ern border there had been uo food of any consequential amount raised during the season. .In Wallace and Gove counties not enough had been produced to feed ten families. And these peoplo were forced to re¬ main. ’f heir whole worldly possessions were centered around the hunger-filled cabins which they called their own, and to leave them they could not be per¬ suaded. Where, indeed, should they go eveu could they get away. A few'Veeks ago be had rejmrted the condition of affairs to Governor St.John The luttey had come to Wallace, made an justs’ % u, and, returning U> Topeka, had *«d that 26,000 people were in iti in'efHa’ e need of assistance.”, the ret>ort had belli received with something of a touch of incredulity. Then the State Aid Society had sent an agent to investigate. He had made a similar re¬ port, and still unsatisfied, the society had sent a lady to look over the fit Id. Her reports had shown a greater degree of destitution than that of any of her predecessors. Ho had himself accom¬ panied her upon tho trips of inspection, ne firmly believed there were 20,000 people in his section who were almost without necessary food, and who had no clothing except a few rags, lie had met one man upon his rounds whose children were dressed in the flour sacks which had contained Die flour sent out by the relief committee last fall. After visiting tin re and leaving his companion there a moment, he had taken the fann¬ er aside and asked him what he had been living upon for the past month. “Oh, we have had enough,” was tho evasive reply. “But what have yeu ?” “Well, we havo corn meal,” came the slow answer. “Have you anything else ?” “Oh, yes.” “What else ?” [mrsisted Mr. Weller. “Well, we have a little salt,” was re¬ luctantly replied, and then the great tears welled to the strong man’s eyes at .what seemed to him Die humiliating confession. But this case was only ono of hun¬ dreds. In one case they had found a woman making biscuit from the last measure of flour there was in Die house, and there was nothing else. “We haven’t seen a dollar in six months,” said one woman to him. While lie believed there had yet been no case of actual starvation, ho was sure deaths had occurred with the pri¬ vations which the people had undergone as a primary cause. There was much sickness, want was everywhere and death must follow faster. He had lieen selected by all the coun¬ ties of his section to go to Topeka and ask aid from the State authorities.— Further than that lie had not desired to go. He had even toid his wife he would lie back within three days. But in To¬ peka the Aid Society had asked him to come here and to Atchison to ask fur¬ ther aid. They believed that the State of Kan¬ sas would be unable of herself to furnish all the necessary relief. Five hundred thousand dollars was needed to buy food supplies, and a portion of this must be asked from other States. In January the Legislature would meet and pass Such measures as should be necessary.— St. Joe Gazette, July 17. Senator Voortiees predicts the Demo crats will carry Indiana. No. 32. England's Rulers.

The last week in May, Dorsey Reid, a young man about nineteeu years old, ami nephew of Mr. L. C, Coleman, of Lincoln county, very mysteriously disap¬ peared, and has not since bean heard from. He was living with Mr. Coleman, and came to tlie house about the middle of the aftemoou one day to get some seed corn for the negroes to finish plant¬ ing, and after getting tlie corn started hack totlie field, and, as we learn, luw never been seen or heard of since. Dor¬ sey was an orphan and very small far his age, and for some weeks after his suddes disapiiearance the prevailing impression was that he had only ran off, but inquiries have been made In every section of the county, and even pi adjoining counties, and no one has seen him or is able to reveal anything aa to hu whereabouts. It has been said (whether truthfully or not we do not know) that he and the negroes on Mr. Coleman's place did not get along very well together, and some are of the opin¬ ion that there was foul play in his sud¬ den disappearance. We think the mat¬ ter should be investigated, and his where¬ about ascertained if possible.— McDuf¬ fie Journal. The Suu Cholera Medicine. Mora time (weqtjr years ago, when it w«* found that prevention of cboler., icr than cure, a prescription drawn up Uy eminent doctors was published In the New Fork Sun, and it took the name of the Sun cholera medicine. Our contemporary never lent its name to a better article. Wo have seen it in con¬ stant use for near two years, and found it to be the best remedy for looseness of tlie bowels ever yet devised. No one who has this by him and takes it in time will ever have tho cholera. Wc commend it to all our friend*. Even when no cholera is anticipated, It Is an ex¬ cellent remedy for ordinary summer com¬ plaints, colic, diarrhoea, dysentery, etc. Take equal parts of tincture of Cayenne pepper, tincture of opium, tineture of rhu¬ barb, essence of peppermint ami spirits of camphor, mix well. Dose—15 to ,10 drops in a little cold water, according to age,and violence of symptoms, repented every ir> or 20 minutes, until relief Is obtained.—Jour. of Com. Greenesiioro Herald: “It is thought that the meteorite, which passed over Central Georgia about ono month ago, exploded in tills vicinity, and that tho fragments may bo found somewhere in our county.” Three negroes havo died in Athens from eating watermelons with strych¬ nine in them, ft appears that they had been stolen by negroes and sold to deal¬ ers, and so the unfortunate victims came by them honestly. Mr. J. A. Crawford, who lives some three miles east of Lowudcsvillc, reports the farms in his neighborhood as being dry, though the pros[iects of a fair crop are good. The oat and wiieat crops in tiiis ueighljorhood were poor indeed. Wednesday morning, curious to say, a small spring suddenly bubbled up from near the curbstouo in front of Dr. K. V. Mitchell’s drug store, in Rome, and the water flowed cool and c.car for an hour or so, and then as suddenly ceased. A rascally darky near Savannah, be¬ coming incensed with his old mother because his coffee was muddy, seized a large knife and almost severed a slice from tlie old darne’s ear. Site went to town, had the wound dressed, and went away exclaiming : “ Dat boy will be de def ot ine yet.” Mr. George R. McKee, who has an extensive farm near Valdosta, Ga., last week shipped a large quantity of fresh iigs to New York. They were shipped over the Florida Dispatch Line in one of their refrigerators. Information lias been received that they arrived .in good condition and were sold at thirty cents per quart.

A Bostonian who was nominated for a political oflico went to his wife and said that before lie accepted lie wanted to know whether any member of her fami¬ ly Bad been engaged in any disreputable transactions. She said, “Better de¬ cline.” A Cleveland lady recently lay in a trance for a whole day, and every one thought that siie was dead. The next morning she revived and saw her hus¬ band writing at a table. He kissed her and said, “How lucky. 1 was just wri¬ ting a proposal of marriage.” .Somebody who lias evidently been having a nightmare of a woman in a brown linen dress, with a Japanese para¬ sol, idaek lace mite and rublier bracelet*, says “there never was atiino when wo¬ men can make more indecent frights of themselves without Ixriiig taken to the police station.” The members of a young ladies’ deba¬ ting society in Troy have decided in fa¬ vor of long courtships. Level-headed girls. Observation lias taught tbem that there is a wonderful falling off of confections, bails, carriage rides and op¬ era when courtship ends and the stern realities of married life begin.
