There ha recently been transferred from Scotland to the United States oue of the finest sets in private hand of the four Shakespeare folio. The sum paid, 10.000, is quite unparalleled either in the auction room or by pri vate treaty. The folio were in the brary of B. B. Macgeorge, well know bv repute as a bibliophile. The late Marquis of DufTerin, not long before hi death, found the keenest pleasure going over the book treasures lelong ing to Mr. Mcgeorge, including for in stance, an uncut copy of "The Vicar of Wakefield," for which the owner ha more than once been offered .C1000, against a cost of less than 100, if w remember aright. Mr. Macgeorge po sesses, too, the finest collection in ex istence of etching, supplemented in manv noteworthy cases that of the masterly "Abside de Xorte Dame," for instance by original drawings. He had no desire to dispose of hi Shakespeare folios, but some time ago a London dealer, acting on behalf of a trans-At lantic Shakespeare enthusiast, ap roacbed him. He offered 5000. hare no wish to sell, but maybe I might not feel justified in refusing double that Bum," was the purport of the owner's answer. "Secure at 10,000," came the emphatic cable from America. And so the folios went from Glasgow. Prob ably the buyer is he who secured "The Tragedie of Richard III," fourth edition vhieh a few weeks ago broke all Riakespeare'a records at 1730, and the Countess of Pembroke's "Tragedie f Antonie," 1595, valued in June at 560. exactly 5000 time the sum for which it was picked up in the north of Eng land some years ago. "CRAZY MAN'S CASTLE." "Crazy Man's Castle," which ha been totally demolished by a storm, was lo cated near Mmneiska, Minn., opposite Cochran, Wis. It was built entirely of driftwood by Putnam Cray and was for forty years in the building. Gray earns a few dollar each year by attending river light for the government, and from the sixties he occupied himself with the construction of the castle. The building was made entirely of driftwood luniler and logs from rafts and broken piece of old vessels wreck ed on the river. Wo-k did not ap pioacii completion until a few years ngo. When substantially completed the castle was three stories high, bristling with frowning towers and filled with odd nooks and the most remarkable mixture of architecture. A few days ago, when a storm struck il. . . . me sieamer ciyue as it was passing the castle and sunk the boat, the cas tie was badly shaken too, but remained intact for the time. A week later, how ever, when a wilder storm swept out of Lake Pepin and down the Mississippi. the castle fell into the river, a ma8 of wreckage. After the storm Gray found the build ing, on which he had spent forty years' labor, entirely destroyed, He is heart broken by hi misfortunes, and travel er now pause to see him pining amid that part of the ruins not carried away by the river. Now past 70 years of age, Gray realize that the rebuilding of his castle is impossible. WHERE THERE IS NQ PEACE.

Mrs. Wirt accompanied him on the trip but remained at Astoria for a few days' visit. . . As a rule the commercial traveler is not a credulous individual, but Mr. De Voice, the genial drummer who sella Armour's ham9, was somewhat taken in during his last trip to the mouth rt 4 Via itA Tf ennaava tlinfr a I the Mr. DeVoice's friends had told him salmon fishing was good in the Colum bia, and that if he would throw a troll line from the ear of a moving steam er, that he could eat fish to his hearts content. He bought the line and a fine trolling hook, but just how much far ther he got, is not known. When he returned to Astoria from Ilwaco, he was disinclined to discuss the nshing question, and kept the line well from the view of the boat's crew and pas engers. Notwithstanding, his attempt to catch salmon from the rear of the boat became whispered about, and there was considerable merriment aboard at his expense. R. 8.
