G THE DAILY EVENING TELEGRAPH PH IL ADELPIII A, MONDAY, JUNE G, 1870. ANTIQUARIAN. Old English Historical Paramenia Vaeartbeft. The first report of the Royal Commission on Historical Manuscripts just laid before Parliament contains ftonie very curious infor mation on the subject of documents, for the most part either wholly unknown or all but forgotten, which have been preserved in the basement story of the House of Lord. Tliey have been, as it were, buried for ages, for no one, except some of the officers of the House of Lords, appears to have had any knowledge of their existence, and, as the commissioners state, their discovery is certainly no slight acquisition to the historical student, throwing, as they do, additional light on several impor tant passages in English history. Among other papers, for instance, the commission have found the original letter, wholly ia the handwriting of Charles I, addressed to the House of Lords in May, 1C41, recommending that the Enrl of Strafford be imprisoned rather than executed, "althongh he (the King) had satisfied the justice of the kingdom by the passing of the bill of attainder against the earl." Some of the alterations in the letter are curious, showing the King's desire to save Strafford by an exercise of ltoyal prerogative of par don without asking a favor of the Parliament. The letter in question will be rememberedjas the one which contains the remarkable post script: "If he must die, it were a charity to reprieve him till Saturday." These words seem to have been added, and the alterations above alluded to made some time after the letter was written. It seems that the Peers offered to return into the King's hands the letter itself which he had sent; but he answered, "My lords, what I have written to you, I shall be content it to be registered by you in your House. In it you see my mind. I know yon will use it to my honor." And yet, as the commissioners observe, this letter has been to all intents and purposes lost for years, and only just recovered! Another interesting document unearthed by the Commissioners is an original petition from Laud while im prisoned in the Tower; but per haps the most curious of the discoveries made by them is that of the original manu script of the Look of Common Prayer, which was annexed to the statute 13 and 14 Car. 2, c. 4. Thishadnotbeenseensincel82t,andwas supposed to have been lost or destroyed when the Houses of Parliament were burned. The history of the compilation of this book is sufficiently curious to deserve a few words of passing notice. As is well known, the Par liamentary Commissioners, in 1G4.", issued an order abolishing the Book of Common Prayer, and King Charles II, upon his resto ration, lost no time in restoring the worship sanctioned by the Acts of Uniformity of Ed ward VI and Queen Elizabeth. Commis sioners were appointed in lCt!l to review the Look of Common Prayer, and to compare it with "the most ancient liturgies" used by the Church "in the primitive and purest times," and to prepare such alterations and additions as were requisite. Both Houses were engaged on the subject at the same time. The Commons appointed a committee to make search whether these the origi nal Looks of Liturgy annexed to the act passed in the reign of Edward VI were still extant. They selected a Prayer Book printed in 1(50 1 to be attached to the bill they were preparing for an Act of Uniformity, pro vided the Book of Edward VI could not be found. .While the Commons were thus en gaged the king sent to the House of Lords the Book prepared by his Commissioners ap pointed by letters patent on March 25, lf.Gl, and of which he approved. The Lords there upon directed the Book in question to bo delivered to the House of Commons, to whom, therefore, two Looks were submitted. The bill passed both Houses and became law. It appears that, besides the documents above alluded to, many more have been discovered of great worth and importance. 'High praise is bestowed by the Commission on the pro ceedings of Sir John Shaw Lefevre, who has caused the sorting and arrangement of the papers to be begun; and there would appear to be every chance that further documents of great value are still to be discovered among the hitherto almost unexplored mass of mis cellaneous papers in the House of Lords. FASHION IN FUNERALS. The New York correspondent of the Cin cinnati Chronicle gives these funereal items: "There is a story told of the renowned Mr. Brown, of Grace Church, which illustrates the state of feeling here witk regard to bu rials among the class he serves: ""When the war first broke out a young gentleman said to him, 'What are we to do this winter, Mr. Brown: there will be no parties ?' " 'Well, sir, well,' was the reply, as he affectionately patted his protuberant waist coat, 'we will do the best we can. We will make the funerals as fashionable and attrac tive as possible.' "At a fashionable funeral ia New York there is as much show, and as much to be seen, as at a fashionable party. The flowers often cost quite as large sums as they do for an evening party. 'I cannot afford to die in New York; it would ruin my family to bury me there,' I heard a gentleman say. A 'hand some funeral' is an event, and talked of and dressed for as is a handsome party, and for the same reason 'one meets all one's friends there.' Not long since a lady who had been two years married died. She was young, handsome, and amiable, and her friends loved her. Her parents were in moderate circum stances, her husband a Government clerk, and getting a good salary. The funeral was a show occasion. Her bridal dress, with its rich lace overskirt, was produced and remodelled by a fashionable mantua-maker; this was forced upon her cold, stiff form. A hair dresser was procured to dress her hair and arrange the bridal veil and orange blossoms. Then the corpse was placed in a magnificent casket, the room was decorated with flowers, the costliest blossoms were woven into urns and wreaths, and crosses and anohors, and dispersed about the walls; the shutters were closed and the gas lighted. Then the crowds, who had heard of these preparations and of this mockery of woe, were admitted, and passed in to gaze upon the still, pale form there. "After it was over the husband discovered that a year's salary would hardly pay the coat of this 'handsome funeral.' " 1 U A T THEY E A T AND DRINK IN SPA IN. The "Truant Correspondent" of the Lon don Times writes from Seville: "Of the genuine Spanish living nothing can be learned at the principal hotels, where the dinners are imperfect copies of the French model, regulated by an invincible da bire to avoid the piquant and the savory. It xunst riot be inferred from these genteel re pasts that the unsophisticated Spaniard ob jects to a decided flavor in his food. On the contrary, he has ft predilection for those robust luxuries which may be matched in England by the sturdy epicures who covet rprats aud Llack-piddings. I partook cf two to-'.'v !iitt.'u, t-iv.'S u. the L'jusa of a private family, not of the aristocratic class, the chief elements ia which were small dried sausages, containing whole layers of fat, and strongly flavored with garlio; other sannages preserved in an earthen pot, with yellow colored lard, which is eaten with them to facilitate their passage down the swallow; snails, boiled and fried, and raw onions of the size of a pigeon's egg. One could not pause over ordinary repasts after the prece dent of this 'sensational' bill of fare, but any change was welcome after the monotony of the hotel. "In their drinks, however, the Spaniards are certainly disposed to the insipid, and those innocent beverages which correspond to the ginger-beer) and lemonade of London are remarkable for their faint sickly taste and their lukewarm condition. A really acid lemonade is not to be found, and there is nothing that bites coldly on the palate among the various drinks that are vended in the ornamental kiosks with which the principal squares are dotted, and which are very pretty objects, with the large earthen vases of water ranged on a shelf at the back, and the bottles containing the less primitive beverages placed on the counter. Many of theso kiosks are kept by Moors, who wear their native cos tumes. The same people also carry on a trade as itinerant venders of slippers. "Beer drinking has of late become rather popular in Seville, where a brewery, with a room for the entertainment of retail pur chasers, is much frequented. The brewer is a German, and the produce of his industry is of that 'lager beer' kind which, under one name or another, is so familiar to Europe and America. There is, however, a way of dealing with it, which is not, I think, com mon out of Spain. A small bottle, with an equal quantity of lemonade, is poured into a bowl and then served into glasses with a ladle. The mixture is on the same principle as that composed of ale and ginger beer on which cockneys confer the appellation of shandygaff.'" MASON AND DIJON'S LINE. A C ANDIDATE FOR OBLIVION. A few years ago Mason and Dixon's line was a familiar politico-geographical phrase. It is now almost forgotten, but, says the Louisville Courier-Journal, it may be well for us to remember that this boundary was so termed from the names of Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon, the gentlemen appointed to run unfinished lines in 17(51 between Penn sylvania and Maryland, on the territories sub ject to the heirs ot Penn and .Lord Baltimore. A temporary line had been run in 1 7:i!, but had not given satisfaction to the disputing parties, although it resulted from an agreement in 17;5'. between them selves. A decree had been made in 101.5, by King James, delineating the boundaries between the lands given to the first Lord Baltimore, and those adjudged to his Majesty (afterwards to William Penn), which divided the tract between the Delaware bay and the Eastern sea on one side and the Chesapeake on the other, by a line equally intersecting it, drawn from Cape Henlopen to the fourth . degree of north latitude. A decree in chancery rendered the king's decree imperative. But the situation of Henlopen became long a subject of serious, protracted, and expensive litigation, particularly after the death of Penn, in 1713, and of Lord Bal timore in 1714, till John and luchard and Thomas Penn (who had become the solo pro prietors of the American possessions of their father, William;, and UeciuusLiord Baltimore, grandson of Charles, and great-grandson of Cecilius, the original patentee, entered into an agreement on the 10th of May, 1772. To this agreement a chart was appended which ascertained the site of Cape Henlopen, and delineated a division by an east and west line running westward from that cape to the exact middle of the peninsula. Lord Balti more became dissatisfied with this agreement, and he endeavored to invalidate it. Chancery suits, kingly decrees, and proprietary argu ments followed, which eventually produced the appointment of commissioners to run the temporary line. Ihis was ellected in 13'.). lint the cause in chancery being decided in 17oi), new commissioners were appointed, who could not, however, agree, and the ques tion remained open till 1 tl, when the line was run by Messrs. Mason and Dixon. FOREIGN LITERARY ITEMS. A statne of Jasmin the poet has been erected at Agen, his native place. The prize of the University of France, worth oOOO francs, has been awarded to M. Pionot, for his "Histoire de l'Ordre de Cluny." M. A. de Moltheim has published an ela borate illustrated work on the French Artil lery, its costumes, uniforms, and material, from the Middle Ages to the present day. A small volume forming part of E. Treves' "liiblioteca Amena" contains an ex cellent translation into Italian of Shake speare's The Tempcut and Tiro Gentleman of Verona. The translation, which is much praised by the Jiivista JEuropea, iB by Pro fessor Pasqualigo. A very important literary disoovery was made a few days ago in the library belonging to a church in Liegnitz, in Silesia. It con sists of a Codex of Livy, the existence of which had been noticed in a catalogue of that library, dated 1004, but only now has the search after it been successful. It contains nearly the whole of the Fourth Decade. The Baron and Baroness Reinsberg Duringsfield have written a work, entitled "Ilochzeitsbuch," on the principal marriage rites and customs of Indo-European peoples. This book which is in a great part founded on the excellent materials collected by Pro fessor Angelo De Gubernatis in his learned works, "Storia Comparata degli Usi Nuziali" will be illustrated by numerous interesting plates. The first part treats of the Scanda navian customs. Mr. E. Magnusson proposes to issue, by subscription, tbe text of an ancient and famous Icelandio hymn, "The Lily, a Song to the Blessed Virgin," by Eystein Asgrinisson, who died in lHtil, a brother of the Augustine monastery of Thykkirbirr. The poem will be printed from a vellum MS. in the British Mu seum, and accompanied by a rhymed transla tion close to the original; a life of the author, a treatise on the metre and sources of the poem, a glossary, notes, and various readings. Dr. Cbenu has published a highly inte resting work, "Da la Mortalite dans I'Xruioe et des Movens d'Economiser laVie Hutnaine," based on the iuedial statistics of the cam paigns of the French Army in the Crimea ia 18.)1-"G, and in Italy in IK.")!). More men were lost by disease than by the hands of the enemy, even though they had the best arms of destruction. Dr. Chenu has carefully in vestigated the causes of this fact, and explains the means to be adopted to remedy such a fatal Ktate of things. M. de la Ferriere Percy, who was sent on a diplomatic mission to St. Petersburg, dis covered in the Russian archives, a despatch written to Catherine by M. du Ferrier, the Frtnch Ambassador at Venice in whio'j the us liter C.o tot r'-ttciii .i zw.rd. i-s f-iii thnt, abroad, the conception of the Massacre of St. Bartholomew was attributed to Catherine and her son, the Duo d'Anjon; and, moreover, that there was good reason for the surprise expressed that Catherine should take the side of Philip the Second of Spain, who was generally believed to have murdered her daughter. A despatch has now been dis covered by M. de Barthelemy, at the Biblio- theqne Impenale, which is a reply to that of M. du Ferrier. The Queen, with little cir cnmlocution, declares that she ordered measures to be taken which were, in her opinion, the only means of punishing the rebellion and disobedience of Admiral de Coligny and his party; but she regrets that in the excitement many other persons of the same religion were killed by the Catholics. The cool terms in which the feeling of regret is expressed are characteristic of the woman; and she adds, that among the motives which led to the massacre was the desire to gain liberty of action enough to enable her to punish Philip the Second, who was suspected of having poisoned his wile, L.uzabetn; Catherine had at hrst vainly tried to marry her second daughter to the widower: FIRE AND BURGLAR PROOF SAFE The Herring's Champion Again !
