It is a manuscript of 257 folio leaves of vellum written iu the fifteenth cen tury, and is a chronicle of the ear- ly history of Normandy. Nothing can exceed the minute delicacy of the miniatures with which it has been cmbclished from the first of them, which represcuts the arrival of Duka Kollo at Rouen, to the last which represents the seige of Cba- lus, where Richard Coeur of Lion received his dcatli blow from an arrow shot by Bertrand do Gour- don. The series includes the death of Edward the Confessor and the coronation ot Harold, the landing of William the Conqueror, tlie Battle of Hastings, the carry- ing of Harold’s body to Waltham Abbey, the funeral of William and the coronation of Rufus—all cxc- cuted in highest style and Burgun dian art, with the minutest atten tion to every detail of architecture, costume and armor. The Hottest Spot On Earth. Perhaps the hottest region of the earth ia along the Persian Gulf, where little or no rain falls. At Soraklchl Too Much for Lula. New York Sun. While Lulu Hurst broke umbrel las over bald heads in the Brook. Ivn Theatre last night, a round headed man, with a dark skin and twinkling eyes, grinned comically at tier from' behind the curtains in a private box. Finally her mana gcr called for Matsada Sorakichi and the round-headed man rose and bowed. The diamonds on his shirt front lighted bis way to the stage. Ho folded a light wooden clmir in his arms and squared him self like a pugilist. Lulu surveyed him ut a distance with her finger on her brow, and laughed “Aba-a.” “The wrestler will exert his groat strength to hold the chair,” said Lulu’s manager. Lula grabbed the chair and they two went round and round a circle. Then they bobbed up and down like a bottle in the surf. Lula pushed, and the jab stolidly re sisted her. Finally, Lula let go the chair, shook out her hair, and panted. There was applause ior Sorakichi. In the' second bout, Sorakichi forced a chair from Miss Hurst to hands to the floor, and kept it there. “Me bcatee she,” said Sorakiohi afterward, his face shining. “She strong girl, and pusliee much. Not move me.” The Hon. John Oakcy sat in a chair, and Miss Ilurat disturbed him. He was called upon for a speech. He said: “Ladies and gentlemen—This iB the first time I was ever shook by a girl.” The First Artesian Well. Montezuma Rscord. Ic is generally conceded that Colonel Fort, of Macon, was the man who bored the first artesian well in this state, but such is not the case. Colonel Anthony Mar- pby, of Atlanta, has the bonor of boring tho first artesian well in Georgia, and while in that city last week, he gave ua an account of how he accomplished It. It was several years ago that Mr. Murphy was engaged in the lumber business near Eastman and be found it diffi cult to supply water suffleuen* for bis boilers. Finally be decided to to dig a well deep enough to sup. ply a sufficient and permanent amount of water, and with this idea in view bo commenced on his arte sian well. He first dag down 1 in tbo earth the old fashion way of weil-digging to a considerable depth, and then he reduced the size of the well and dug still deeper. He then got a two-inch auger, welded it to an iron rod, and : bored down the full length of the rod, but reaching no water. l*o attache.) another length of rod, and ’ after going down some distance flinhef he struck a stream of watA’r which ran oat above. the (round and supplied hits boilers rauntifully. Mr. Murphy moved to Atlanta afterwards, where he has accumulated considerable property, but says the water still flows from his old artesian well. The Active l.iltle Ilase Hall One of our exchanges tells of how the active little Base Ball rolled under the treoand leaned up. against a clump ot white clover to rest. “Well, I am a little tired,” ho said, with the air ora man who is pretty well satisfied with himself and doesn’t caro who' knows how smart be is. “I’m not very big for my circumfcrenco, but I’m busy mid get there in a way to astonish humanity.” What have you done?” drawled the East India Hammock, lan guidly, making a lazy effort to swing a little in the evening breeze. Done!” said tho little Base Ball scornfully. “Wlmt have I done? Since 2 o’clock I have been at it. 1 broke the short-stop’s fingers, knocked the eye out of the catcher, skinned the pitebor's hands, doubled up the umpire twice, drove tlie wind clean out of the second base, broke six panes of glass and a woman’s bead in the school house, and knocked a spec, tutor cold. What have I done? I haven’t laid around all day, a limp mass oi protoplasmic network.” And he smiled a hitter triumph, us lie thus displayed bis college training. A Thoughtful Father. “My son,” said a thoughtful father with a fair bald head and a kind blue eye. “I observe with feelings of deep regret that you have been reading Bow-legged Jake: or the Road Agent’s Rotrcat.

The fresh water '** I is procured by diving. The diver, i sitting in his boat , winds n great i goatskin hag around his left arm, j the hand gasping its mouth; then he takes in his right band a heavy stone, to which is attached a strong I line, and, thus equipped, he | plunges in and quickly reaches the I bottom. Instantly opening the bag over the strong jet of fresh , water, be springs upon the ascend- I ing current, at the same time clos- I ing the hag, and is helped on board. | The stone is then hauled up, and the diver, after taking breath, goes down again. The source of these copious submarine springs is thought to be in the green fields of Osman, some five or six hundred miles distant. The Board of Management of the World's Fair lias authorized the Director General to procure Bartholdi’s statute of Liberty, if possible, tor a few weeks in order that it may be exhibited to all nations before it is finally placed on its pedestal on Bcdloe’s island. The great work of the patriotic artist is about to be shipped to this country on board of a French man-of-war. The largest vessels afloat can steam up the Mississippi river to within a few hundred feet of the Exposition building at New Orleans.

For his famous Florida pies Webster was paid $1,000 in t«i $100 bills. He was engaged la study as tbe money was banded. him, and, after giving a receipt, re: sumed his work. That night the money eould not be found, nor could tbo most diligent seaob re veal any clue to Ua whereabouts. A number of years afterwards Mr. Webster, turning the learha of a book long unused, found a $100 bill. On turning tho next leaf he found another, and ao on succes sively until the entire ten were brought to light trom tbe place where ho bad absent-mindedly pul them as be studied. 1,1 v J Mr. Clay got everything inIfOtks. ing order last Moqday, and, thu , night had gone down a hundred feet.
