Discovery of Old Manuscripts Written by a Danish Astrologer Centuries. Ago. Some old manuscripts have just been discovered in San Francisco of wonder ful importance. These manuscripts are the production of , one Peter. Harr sen, a noted Danish. astrologer v who lived through the end of the sixteenth and beginning1 of the seventeenth cen turies, lie was a contemporary and' correspondent of Johann Kepler, the gTeat German astronomer, Basil and other learned men of that time.' He was also a nephew and pupil of the celebrated Danish, astronomer, Tyeho Brahe, and lived in Copenhagen in the years 1594 to 1613 The discovered Hansen manuscripts are in possession of a descendant, Olaf L-innberg-, who, however, knew nothing of their nature, although believing them of great importance.- Mr. Christian Andersen, an accomplished Danish scholar, has .ex amined . these old papers and found wonders in them, Part of these manuscripts are of the greatest Importance to the American people at the present time. But first it will be well to sliow the value of these calculations and predictions. The great plague of lGO-i-loiiii is clearly foretold, with cumulative disaster on London, indicating the great lire mere than half a century in advance. Lilly bor rowed from this. The French revolu tion and the rise and fall of Napoleon are clearly predicted and with entire precision in the designation of years, These are accompanied by charts and diagrams, apparently of terresiial and celestial combination. On one of these charts is a heavy line from the French frontier of Moscow. ' The fall of Na poleon is told with the force, of lan guage of a prophet. It says: '"The conqueror shall become haughty and despotic, drunken with ambition, leading his victorious "hosts through fire and blood as a glutton revels at a feast. Then shall ho penetrate -the north for new conquests, passing be yond the lines of his auspicious star. and two stars of evil omen eon1rrJpt him. IIis victorious banner shall wither like dry twigs in a blast of fire. He shall stagger back before a hurricane of destruction, tattered, bleeding and torn, and fall prostrate to the earth. Yet shall he rise again, in the furious agony of a dying giant, to sink forever, as choking in a sea of blood." Among the other predictions in these old documents are , the destruction of Lisbon by earthquake, the extinction of the papal temporal power, the Franco-German conflict and other great natural and political convulsions. UNFORTUNATE PERSIANS. The Unhappy Lot of the Subjects ef the Shall. According to reports recently made by a British Consul in that country the condition, of the peasants of ' Persia seems to be peculiarly an unhappy one. He says: "They inhabit mere mud hovels, without windows and with a hole in the center of the roof to let out the smoke, and the filthy state of the villages is indescribable. At the end of the winter they " gener ally find their stock cither ex hausted or running very low, and the great festival of Nauroz at hand. Formerly the peasant knew that if his stock failed, there ' was no .hope of re plenishing it. He would have to go without his Nauroz festivities. But now he knows that a week or two before the festival the Russian specu lators will appear on the scene and offer the proprietor advances of money to sow cotton for them, the seed of which they provide, or buy up in ad vance the best part of his crop of wheat. The ignorant peasant is led to agree to bartering a part of his share, too, and when the. harvest is over he finds that he has not enough corn to carry him through the winter. If the proprietors and peasants resist the temptations till the time of the actual harvest the result is the same. The wheat goes at half price, the peasant finds after a few weeks that he has not enough to carry him through the win ter, and, worst of all, there is no corn left for towns like Meshed, with sev enty thousand inhabitants. Last year' the crop was a fair one, but so much wheat was exported that the price of bread was four times as high as after an abundant harvest when there was no exportation."- . BUILDING A rtv-Ui.t- i.j JERMUW The Walls and t.'io lioof ?Iadt Out o. CXiit C'ornl Kock. ( Any man who chooses, ccys an artiolcV on llermuda m che Review of Review:;, may scrape the thin coating of euiti. off from his proposed building site an-.' proceed to lay up the walls of hi.. habitation with the blocks wiwcd oat in the process of excavating his eclksr. Thus when the cellar is dug the houso may be ready 'for roofing, and if enough roofing material has not al ready been accumulated in the course of the excavation, it can easily be had by. digging the cellar a trillo deeper, for the roofs .in Bermuda are invariaU;, made out of thin slabs of this txm white coral rock. It has the advan tage of being so soft that one may cut it with an ordinary handsaw ten hours n day for six months or a year without refiling the saw. It may be sawed ir.tc slabs two or three inches thick iintl eighteen inches or two feet squ:ire without particular danger of breaking the slabs. It looks somewhat like a very soft, chalky variety of marblu. Though so workable when first quarried it hardens upon exposuvc. Moisture permeates it easily, howevor, and it is desirable that a building should be covered with , a thin coating of Portland cement, or a mixture of common .plaster., with cement. This, coating is then treated with a heavy whitewash made of lime burned from the same ever-ready -coral rock. The roofs and chimneys, as weU as the walls, are kept constantly whitewashed and ' axe absolutely as white as the driven snow. ,: ' '' -' Wanted. " Table boarders in private family. home cooking.

The rapid development of "the com mercial traveler system specifically be-luu;-s to our own days, but as to the origin there is some difference of opin- fion?. One authority lays it ilown tnat the b:;man of to-day tne "drummer," in American phraseology is the im mediate descendant of the old chap man, ir peddler, or hawker. A3 these personages were known even in the time of Chaucer in this case the mod ern commercial can boast a very re spectable ancestry. Another antiquarian, however, in the Bookseller hai another theory to pro pose. For this he brings . the poet Southey as a witness. It is that the commercial travelers of to-day really date bacf to the Quakers of one hun dred or one hundred and fifty years since. These persons, it is well known, were forced to wander throughout the country by persecution and ill treat ment. They were then, as they are to- lay,. mostly good, honest men of busi ness, and with the true commercial in stinct they seem to have made a virtue of necessity, and during their wander ings to have made acquaintances as far as possible with the country trades men, to whom they often sold goods; watches, "camblcts," and other ar ticles. They seemed to have pushed their trade so vigorously that they ob tained heavy orders, so much so that "the tradesmen in London stood idle," as one of tlie Quakers said, "while we filled our coffers." . .One Thomas. Greene, a Quaker preacher and only a laboring man. died worth some thousands of pounds made in this fashion.- The speculation is both curious and interesting, however the matter may be decided. BANK OF ENGLAND FORGERIES. They, Are - Almost I'nknown Now, Cut . Were Formerly. Frequept. There are very few forgeries now, but one hundred years ago they were rife. The first recorded instance of the forgery of a Bank of England note has a singular touch of romance about it, says the Strand Magazine. The forger was a linen draper at Stafford, named Vaughan, who, in the year 1758, employed several workmen to engrave different parts of a twenty pound ster ling note, and when a dozen ,had been J printed off he deposited them with a young lady to whom he waa engaged to be married as a proof of his wealth; but the imposition was discovered, and Vaughan was hanged. One of the cleverest imitations of a bank note was the work of a poor schoolmaster, who forged an entire note with pen and ink, and, sad to say, was hanged. John Mathicson, who was convicted for. forging the water mark, offered to show the directors how it was done if he were pardoned. but they would not withdraw the pros ecution. Singularly enough, forgeries first began to be frequent soon after the introduction of - the one pound sterling note, and in April, 1803,- Mr. Addington told the house of commons that the .forgeries had increased so alarmingly that seventy extra clerks were required at the bank merely to detect tnem. THE RULING PASSION. She Was Determined to Inspect the Togs of the Other Woman. . The ruling passion gets away with woman every time, says the. Boston Globe. At a theater the other night a lady appeared suddenly at the box of fice and asked the manager for an ad mission ticket. 'Don't you wish a seat?" the ticket seller asked. "We have a few good seats in the balcony." "I haven't time to sit down," said the lady. "My husband is waiting for me outside, and besides I have seen the play already." The ticket seller didn't know what to say to this. "I only wanted to go in for a few min utes," the fair visitor continued. "I saw a lady pass in a moment ago, and she was so elegantly dressed that I want a good look at her and sec exactly what she has on. That's all." The manager, to whom this explana tion was made, escorted, the dress-fascinated woman into the auditorium, and she went around to a side aisle and made a thorough observation of what the ultra-fashionable dame "had on." "Oh, it was perfectly, lovely!" she ex plained as she joined her husband at the door. HABKICD. On Thnrpday afternoon, Nov. 26th, at the residence of John Beardeley, on Third street, by VV. C.
