BICYOSD THK DT.IHS-WHAT 1
’Tis easy tc trace the boul to the hour
That deprive* the form of its breath ;
But who shall follow the spirit’s flight.
When it seeks the portal of death ?
Ytho rend the vail that hides from onr view
The future, beyond the bright stars ?
Who follow the spirit’s upward flight,
When it breaks through our earthly bare?”
What—ah ! what is that future state?
And where, oh where is the goai
Which Christians say is the resting place
And home of the deathless soul ?
Is it beyond the dark blue sky—
Beyond where the stars now shine;
Where the angels sing their songs of praise
To the Spirit of God divine ?
Can life be the end of all our hopes?
Is the struggle with death all o’er ?
Or is there a life beyond the tomb,
Where the soul lives evermore?
Does the soul exist when life has flowD,
Or sink, like the corse, into night?
Bet us rather believe the brilMant mind
Still continues its upward flight.
Let us think that the soul can never die—
That its mission will never end ;
That there is a land beyond the sky,
Where friend will still meet friend;
That, freed from the turmoil and ills of life,
From its troubles, wounds and scars,
The soul will worship the God of Light
In His mansions “ beyond the skies.”
ALMOST A CENTENNIAL ROMANCE.
It was Sunday, July 14, 1776 —just
ninety-nine years ago to-day—and the
rudely constructed fort at Boones
borough lay in drwosv stillness on the
bank of the Kentucky river. Daniel
Boone and his friend and associate,
Richard Callaway, had been absent
since early in the morning; and the
good wives, sharers in the toil of the
early pioneer days, were enjoying the
rest that the Sabbath brought even to
the unbroken wilderness. In the
grateful shade of a tree in one corner of
the inclosure sat three young girls, just
blooming into womanhood, and giving
an unwonted charm to the rough evi
dences cf civilization which had but
recently forced themselves upon the
primitive harmony of the surrounding
scenery.
The eldest of these maidens was
Elizabeth Callaway. The experiences
of life rather than the observance of
nature seem to have given turn to the
thoughts and tastes of the early settlers,
so, while the euphonious name of Bes
sie might have harmonized well with
the murmuring river and the soft and
languid aspect of nature in her summer
garb, the hard, every-day life of the
adventurous dwellers in the dark and
bloody ground seemed to comport best
with the harsher name of Betsy. So
Elizabeth was known simply as Betsy
Callaway—not a name suggestive of
romance, yet she was withal a gentle
and a loving girl, and had maiden
fancies that gave the deep color of
romance to one of the incidents of her
life in the wilderness. She was just
turned of sixteen, and as she sat under
the tree that sultry summer afternoon,
ninety-nine years ago this day, the sun
that now and then stole through the
foliage and played upon her rounding
form and athwart her well-set head
seemed to bring out more fully the
lithesomeness of her young woman
hood, the glossy blackness of her raven
tresses, and the rich olive color of her
dark complexion.
The other girls were younger by two
years, and differed from her in appear
ance. Fanny Callaway was fairer than
her sister Betsy, but not more pleasing
in appearance. The third girl, Jemima
Boone, was also naturally fair and, like
Fanny, owed whatever of fairness she
may have lost to constant exposure to
the weather. Nor were these younger
maidens without their fancies, too, for
the. wilderness matures its occupants
rapidly, and though bsut fourteen years
counted the lives of the two girls, each
had a lover who was a hardy and bold
pioneer and ready to encounter any
danger for his ladylove.
Perhaps these young girls were silent
and sat there communing with their
own thoughts or thinking of their ab
sent heroes, who had gone out that day
with Boone and Callaway ; perhaps they
were conversing about their matrimo
nlal arrangements ; perhaps they were
idly chatting about anything, and
everything, and nothing; for fem
inine nature a hundred years ago,
and in the wildest wilderness,
was not unlike it is now, and in the
most civilized communities. But as
evening drew near, the last lingering
breath of air seemed to lull itself to
rest, and the July heat seemed to be
come still more oppressive. The quick
ear of one of the girls caught the sound
of the river as its subdued murmur
floated up the river bank, aud she pro
posed that they should go a short dis
tance below the fort to where a canoe
was lying, and drift out upon the bosom
of the river to catch the rising coolness
of the evening waters.
.Hardly were they seated, and pre
pared to push from the shore, when
they detected a slight rustle in the brush,
and in a moment more five stalwart and
hideously-painted Indians leaped to the
side of the canoe and pulled it close to
the shore. What girl of sixteen could
be equal to such an emergency ? It
wa3 here that the true heroine displayed
herself. It was here that the sentimen
tal girl, who had just been dreaming of
her absent lover, and wandering through
the realms of maiden fancy with love
sick girls like herself, in an instant con
verted herself into the daring and hardv
woman of the frontier ; it was here that
Betsy Calaway, without a moment’s hes
itation, determined to defend the honor
and the lives of herself and her young
companions, and wrote her name in the
annals of Kentucky. Standing erect in
the canoe, she seized the paddle, and at
a single blow laid open to the bone the
head of the foremost savage. The
other Indians pressed on, but, still un
daunted, the brave girl fought them
with the ferocity of a mother protest
ing her young. Finally exhausted, she
sank to the bottom of the canoe, and
with her trembling sister aud friend
was dragged ashore, and hurried ofl
to meet whatever fate might be in store
for them.
We have honored the memories of
the heroes of Bunker Hill; we have
reverently celebrated the occasion when
George Washington turned his back
upon the delights of home and gave his
sword to a cause in which failure would
be ignominy and death ; we are prepar
ing to celebrate with impressive splen
dor the centennial anniversary of the
memorable event that gave us independ
ence, and illustrated the exalted courage
of the statesmen of 1776 ; let us pause
for a moment to do honor to this brave
girl, who battled so heroically with a
foe that even strong men hesitated to
encounter ; let us lift the romance of
her rude life out of the common run of
gir lish sentiment and make her love one
Of the episodes of our history.
The consternation at the fort can well
be imagined. The fathers of the girls
soon returned, and, before the night
closed in, Daniel Boone, at the head of
a party on foot, and Richard Callaway,
at the head of a party on horseback!
were off m pursuit. In Boone’s party
were Samuel Henderson, John Holder
and Flanders Callaway. What gave
these youths such determined looks ami
made them press on so eagerly ? Was
it only a knightly spirit tliat prompted
them to the rescue of forlorn and cap
tured damsels? Ah, as Samuel Hen
derson strode along he wa* thinking of
the ©live-cheeked heroine, Betsy Calla
way ; and John Holder clenched his
hands and ground his teeth when he
thought of poor, frightened Famiv •
and Flanders Callaway almost for
got his kith and kin for thinking of his
captured Jemima Boone. We can easily

lesiL cruel and treacherous savages.
When the Indians started with the
girls they made the younger ones take
off their shoes and put on mocassins,
but Betsy refused to take off her shoes,
and as she walked along she ground her
heel into the soil to leave a trail. No
ticing tliis, the Indians made the whole
party walk apart and deviate from the
course, so as to wade through the water
and destroy the trail. Then the un
daunted Betsy broke off twigs and
dropped them along the road, never
doubting for a moment that her father
and her lover would soon be in hot pur
suit of them ; and when the savages
threatened her with uplifted tomahawk
if she persisted in this, she secretly tore
off portions of her dress and dropped
them on the road.
Boone’s party soon found the trail,
and followed it rapidly, fearing that the
girls might grow weary and be put to
death. All Sunday night and all Mon
day the pursuit was kept up. On Tues
day morning a slender column of smoke
was seen in the distance, and the ex
perienced eye of the hunter at once
detected the camp of the Indians. A
serious difficulty now presented itself.
How were the captives to be rescued
without giving the captors time to kill
them ? There was but little time for
reflection, as the Indians must quickly
discover their presence. The white
men were sure shots, and so they picked
their men, fired upon them, and then
rushed into the camp to the rescue. At
the moment of the attack the girls were
sitting at the foot of a tree; Betsy with
a red bandanna handkerchief thrown
over her head, while the heads of Fanny
and Jemima were reclining in her lap.
Betsy's olive complexion came near
serving her a bad turn at this juncture,
for one of the rescuing party coming
suddenly upon her mistook her for an
Indian, and was about to knock her
brains out with the butt of his rifle
when a friendly hand intervened, and
saved the girl from meeting her death
just at the moment when she saw liberty
within her reach.
The fathers and gallants carried their
loved ones home in triumph, and this
romance of real life in Kentucky a cen
tury ago would not be complete without
the information that the dreams of love
and happiness that were so cruelly dis
tmbed ninety-nine years ago this sum
mer day were consequently all realized.
Brave Betsy Callaway became Mrs.
Samuel Henderson, and lived to tell the
story of her capture to her children and
her children’s children. Little Fanny
became Mrs. John Holder; and Flanders
Callaway took to his home Miss Jemima
Boone, and thus cemented the friendly
ties of the Boones and Callaways. It
is a long time ago ; nigh on to a hun
dred years, aud all the actors in the
romance have long since departed, but
their memory is green with many of ns
yet, and we can all well afford to give a
few thoughts to the event that marked
their characters and the times in which
they lived and loved. —Courier Journal.
The New Age of Glass
M. Bastie’s tempered or touhgened
glass is attracting very general atten
tion in Europe, and seems destined to
revolutionize the manufacture of that
useful article. It has already been
made in sufficient experimental quan
tities to prove its applicability to all
purposes for which glass is now used,
and to many others for which, but for
its frugility, it would have been em
ployed. Vessels manufactured of tough
ened glass, though not distinguishable
in appearance from those to which we
are now accustomed, may be thrown
about carelessly without the slightest
risk of ordinary injury.
With a tender thoughtfulness for
long-suffering housekeepers, the inven
tor proposes especially the manufacture
of plates and dishes, cups and saucers,
and such like articles, either transpar
ent or enamelled. To have these no
longer liable to fracture is an important
amelioration in domestic economy ; but
the toughened glass is likely to prove of
value in much wider spheres. It will
stand any amount of heat, and vessels
made of it can be placed on the fire
without danger. Consequently, its em
ployment in chemical factories in the
place of lead, earthenware, platinum,
and silver, is a question of time only.
G'aes pipes will probably replace those
of lead for water ami for other pur
poses, and thus diminish the chances of
lead-poisoning. Indeed, it is difficult
to anticipate the limits of the applica
tion of this very remarkable discovery.
The one purpose for which at present
there seems some difficulty about em
ploying the new material is for window
panes, for it cannot be cut by a dia
mond, though the glass may be cut
first and toughened afterwards. It can,
however, be engraved by the ordinary
methods, and cut on the wheel.
Essentially, the process consists in
heating glass nearly up to the softening
point, and then plunge it into a bath of oil
or grease. But to bring this apparently
simple idea to perfection required the
patient investigation of seven long years.
The invention has been patented in all
European countries, and soon will be
throughout the civilized world.
An Ovation to Liberty.
The Irish World says : The warm
welcome accorded to our American rifle
men in Ireland recalls a suggestive inci
dent which the late well-known actor,
Mr. Hackett, used to narrate with great
pleasure. During his professional tour
in Europe many years ago he apjieared
in Dublin, assuming the role of Rip
Van Winkle. “On the first night of
the presentation, ” said Mr. Hackett,
“in the scene where Rip finds himself
in his native village, after his long sleep,
lost in amazement at the change which
meets his eye on every hand, a person
of whom he is making inquiries men
tions the name of Washington. * Wash
ington?’ repeats Rip, Who is he?’ The
other, a fellow who happened to have
a splendid voice, replies : “What ! did
you never hear the name of the immor
tal George Washington, the apostle of
liberty and the father of his country ?’
Upon the falling of these words, deliv
ered impressively, the audience from pit
to gallery arose as one man, and the
shouting, the clapping of hands, and
stamping of feet shook the building.
These plaudits continued for some time,
aud wound up with three hearty cheers
for George Washington. I cannot de
serib* to vou my feelings during this
unlooked-for thundergust of national
enthusiasm. 1 choked—the tears gushed
from my eyes; and I can asnre you it
by a great effort that, I restrained
myself from destroying all the illusions
of the scene by breaking the fetters with
ivbich the age and character of Rip had
invested me, and exclaiming in the full
ness of my heart, ‘God bless old Ire
land !’”
Did Not Know His Own Brains.— A
ridiculous incident in connection with
the advent of independence day was
witnessed on lower Broadway yesterday
afternoon. Asa Mr. Henry Remsen
was passing a fruit store he fell a victim
to a most singular coincidence. A boy
had lighted a large fire-cracker on the
sidewalk, which exploded with a loud
report just as our friend passed it. The
same instant someone threw out a rot
ten banana, which struck him in the
hack of the head, the juice running
down his neck. He instantly screamed,
“My God, I’m shot, I’m shot,” and
raising his hand he caught a handful of
the rot, which he showed to a man who
ran to his aid as a specimen of his brains.
The police, who heard the report and
the cries, hurried to the scene, followed
by a crowd of nen and boys that in
creased at every step. A careful exami
nation by a doctor satisfied our hero
that he was still in the land of the liv
ing and that banana was not brains,—

FACTS FROM 4LL SOURCES.
RAKING HAY.
A correspondent of the Country Gen
tleman writes from Canada: As haying
will soon be on, I will give you the
method of harvesting which I noticed in
some parts of the oountry last year,
which I consider a great saving of labor.
The hay, when cured, is raked into
windrows, then a rope or chain, about
thirty feet long, is laid with the centre
on the end of the windrow ; the horses
are placed one on each side and hitched
one to each end of the rope ; the checks
are let out long, so that they will not
trample over the hay. A boy can drive
the horses up the windrow until they
get a sufficient quantity, or as much as
the horses can draw. Then, if it is
stacked in the field, it is taken direct to
the stack, or barn, if near by. One
man and boy this way will draw as
much as four men will stack or mow
away. If the distance requires the hay
to be loaded on a wagon, three heaps
put together this way will make a load ;
or, in case of threatening rain, with a
little topping up, will stand a great deal
of rain without much injury. Hay put
together this way will pitch easier than
out of the windrow. The boy can ride
also on the hay while drawing it to
gether.
POTATOES ON RICH SOIL.
A correspondent of the New England
Homestead does not believe in the the
ory of growing potatoes on poor, unfer
tile soil to prevent rot. He gives his
last year’s experience as follows, with a
half bushel Breese’s Prolific potatoes :
“I cut them in pieces of one and two
eyes each, prepared my land (a light
chestnut loam, inclining to sand), by
plowing a liberal dressing of compost
manure and then putting a shovel of
well-rotted compost, consisting of horse,
cow and pig manure mixed, in the hill.
The sets were planted two feet apart in
rows three feet apart, were kept free
from weeds, and hoed four times. From
that half bushel of seed, I took up
eleven barrels of potatoes for the table
and two bushels of small potatoes for
the pigs. There were no signs of rot or
any other defect except a superabund
ance of very large tubers, too large for
baking purposes. Better potatoes I
have not had on my table at any time
during the last ten years. The crop in
1872, on the same ground, was potatoes.
From a five years’ experience I am
forced to the conviction that the potato
should be as well fed and nursed as
beets or oabbages. When I see fields
of potatoes crowded with Roman worm
wood, pigweed, oockleburrs, and *ther
foul stuff, I can’t help feeling for them
as one would for a family of small chil
dren with a dissipated father and a
feeble, sickly mother—they need out
side help and inside comforts.”
ORIGIN OF FOWLS AND VEGETABLES.
To Asia, and probably India, where
wild chickens yet abound under the
designation of jungle fowl, the English
owe their domestio poultry. The dis
tribution of this useful bird is strangely
irregular. Throughout the negro king
doms of west Africa, for instance, fowls
are plentiful, while in more civilized
Abyssinia and Arabia they are compara
tively scarce. Persia abounds in poul
try, while in Turkey few domestic birds,
except the sacred pigeons, are to be
seen. To Asia, too, belong the fallow
deer and gorgeous peacock, while to
her, also, we owe all our vegetables,
with the brilliant exception of the
potato. It is impossible to conceive the
poverty, so far as vegetables were con
cerned, of the England that passed
under the sway of Norman and Angevine
kings. Some hardy varieties of the
cabbage did exist, and were supple
mented by long-forgotten herbs, which
have since been deemed only suitable
to the rabbit hutch. The peaß and
beans brought in by returning cru
saders were presently eked out by car
rots; but down to the rain of Elizabeth
the garden yielded little tribute to the
kitchen in Britain.
GRASSHOPPER LAW IN RUSSIA.
A correspondent of The Pacific Rural
Press writes “every land owner is,
obliged to send into court yearly 100 grass
hoppers (dead ones) to each acre of land
owned by him ; say, if John Smith owns
ten acres of farming land, he is to bring
on the Ist of August in the court 1,000
dead hoppers, and for every short one
he is fined five cents. The poor classes
are engaged in catching the hoppers, be
ginning in May, and sell them on the
market where they average about two
cents apiece, thus giving an opportunity
for farmers to buy them in case they
fail to fulfill their taxes on them. No
farmer is allowed to catch hoppers not
on his own land. The method of catch
ing them is very easy. They boil water
on the field, and supply themselves with
tin cans made especially for the purpose
and fill them with boiling water, and
then they hunt along the place for the
‘nests ;’ they pour the water in the hole,
which kHls them, and after they pick
them out with a hook. This keeps the
hoppers decreasing yearly, until some
years they have to appeal to the govern
ment to reduce the percentage, as there
are none to be found. This would be
the best and cheapest remedy for the
farmers of this country to adopt.”
THE BEST DATE-KEEPING POTATO.
The editor of the Rural New-Yorker
writes : Among the hundred or more
varieties of potato which I have tested
during the past ten years, none excel
the “Snow-Flake” as a late keeper; in
fact, I do not know as there is a better
sort for any season. But lam reminded
of its excellent keeping qualities at this
time, as all the more common and older
varieties, and especially the Early Rose
and similar well-known sorts, soon
wither and become worthless for use in
spring, or as soon as warm weather sets
in ; but my Snow-Flakes are sound and
firm, and of such excellent quality that
we are in no haste for new potatoes, as
wo would be were it not for this very
promising new sort. If it continues to
be as good in the future as my one
year’s experience with it leads me to
hope, then I shall place it very high on
the list of excellent sorts.
THE MARKET GARDENS OP PARIS.
The Garden says that “the grounds
cultivated by the market gardeners ii
and around Paris amounts to over 3,000
acres. It is stated that 300,000 glazed
frames and more than 2,000,000 cloches
are employed in the production of vege
tables alone. The annual amount ex
pended for manure is said to be £72,400,
and the total reosiptß from the sale of
vegetables, and other productions of
the market gardens, to exceed half a
million sterling—a sum probably much
under the mark. ” The cloches referred
to are merely the bell glasses and glazed
frames used to protect plants in the
field from the frost. Could we not use
them with profit to a greater extent
than we do in this country.
HORSES FOR FARM WORK.
_A- writer in the Mark Lane Express
gives the following as the desirale points
for consideration in the breeding of
horses for farm work: “ The head
should be comely, but not so small as
that of the runuing horse, as it enables
the animal to throw more weight into
the collar. He should be broad and flat
in the forehead, have neat, well set-on
ears, prominent placed eyes, thin eye
lids, large nostrils, neat neck, and be
deep toward the chest, not very high in
the withers, with upright shoulders,
broad forearm, broad, flat bone below
the knee, rather short pasterns, good
round feet not too flat or too upright,
plenty of hoof, clean leg, straight back,
with plenty of loins, and ribs well
arched. He should be long on the
back rib, and long in the quarter;
the haunch should bo strong, the hip
well down, the hock joint broad ; and
for a breeder, no animal should be used
that is not free from curb, bog or bone
spavin, splint or side bones. Horses
with well developed muscles and good
constitution are easily kept, and can
endure great fatigue.”
GRAIN IN CALIFORNIA.
The San Francisco Alta, of June 28,
says “ The grain harvest is still in pro
gress, but it will close unusually early.
The straw has never before been so
short, not measuring a foot in length in
many fields that will pay a respectable
prefit. The headers with which nine
tenths of our grain are cut, even
when the straw makes the most abun
dant growth, are just adapted to such
short stalks, whereas in the states on
the Atlantic slope, where the header is
a larity, the farmers would be almost
unable to harvest the crop. The aver
age yield is very light, and is estimated
to be not less than four nor more than
seven centals to the acre sown. On
mujh of the land the failure is com
plete; the grain did not get enough start
to cover the soil with a green color, and
when in the condition of a short, thin
blade, before reaching the shape of
straw, dried up. Those farmers who
have horses, wagons, and headers, can
harvest for a cental and a half an acre,
while others, who must pay for every
thing, find it costs them in some cases
as much as three and a half. All the
fields coming up to the lowest estimated
average of four centals per acre will be
cut.
THE TOTATO KING.
A roving correspondent of the New
York Tribune, writing from Denver,
Col., says : “The most profitable veg
etable raised in Colorado is the potato.
It grows abundantly if properly culti
vated, and yields a large profit. In
market they bring from two to four
cents a pound at 60 pound to the bushel.
Six miles from Denver is a potato farm
which for years has been famous for
leagues around. I drove there one hot
day with a friend in the hope of seeing
the owner, a queer old joker, who is
known by the name of ‘ Potato Clark.’
He had gone to town, however, with a
load of potatoes. We looked over his
farm, but nothing could be seen bnt a
few tumble-down shanties, a good many
potato heaps, and a good deal of black
land lying close against the Platte.
The only signs of life about the place
were the cook and the grasshoppers.
The cook said he had not been there
long, that he did not know how many
acres ‘ Potato Clark’ planted, nor how
many potatoes he had on hand now, nor
what was the price. He was intelligent
on only one subject: Potato Clark em
ployed from 40 to 75 men during the
season. This the cook knew, for he
had to prepare the food for them.
From Mr. Dodge and other sources, I
subsequently learned that Mr. Clark
last year raised 25,000 bushels of po
tatoes. Do not make any mistake in
the figures—twenty-five thousand bush
els of potatoes ! Clark must be pecu
liarly adapted to the cultivatton of this
vegetable, for where other’s crops fail,
his is always large, and of superior
quality. The grasshoppers eat up the
vines of his neighbors, but they are
harmless on the vines of * Potato Clark.’
A wet season, a dry season—it is all the
same with him. He goes right on
raising potatoes.”
The “ Last Supper.’’
The destruction of this celebrated
painting is a lasting regret to all art
students. As to its causes, the first
misfortune was, that it should have
been painted in oil instead of fresco, a
kind of work ill suited to the slow re
touching hand and most fastidious taste
of the artist, Leonardo da Yinci, who
was glad, on this account, to take ad
vantage of the then recent invention of
body colors. A miserable fresco at the
other end of the refectory of S. M. delle
Grazie, at Milan, in which this great
work was produced, painted in the same
age, still tantalizes the observer by the
freshness of its tints, while the master
piece of Leonardo, perhaps of the art,
has been gone for ages. It is further
said that he used oil too much refined,
and of too thin a consistency.
It is certain, too, that the plaster on
which he worked had some defect, which
made it scale off in a few years. Then
the convent is situated in a damp place,
and the refectory is in the lowest part
of the building ; so that at all times
when there is an inundation in the
Milanese, the room is filled with water.
From all these causes the picture re
tained its original beauties ODly for a
few years. It was finished in 1498 ; in
1540 it was half effaced; and ten years
later, the outlines only remained, the
colors being entirely gone. A century
after this, the venerable fathers whose
lot it was to occupy the same room witli
it during a very interesting portion of
the day, observing (with their wonted
sagacity) that the straight line which
joined their table and the kitchen passed
through the centre of the picture, and
by no means through the door, and
aware, from instinctive science, that the
straight line between these two points
was the shortest, thought proper to cut
through the wall, and thus destroyed a
part of the principal figure, ami the two
figures next it. With a tenderness for
their soverign, almost equal to their
zeal for their own clerical duties, they
next nailed a great escutcheon of the
emperor upon the m’ddle ol the wall,
so as to reach the heads of the group.
But the tender mercies of those rever
end personages have been still more
fatal to this masterpiece, aud have fin
ished the destruction which the neg
ligence begun. In 1726 they employed
an artist who pretended to have a secret
for reviving lost colors, and allowed him
to work upon the “Supper,” under an
awning that concealed his operations.
This dauber, whose name was Belloti,
painted the whole picture over again,
with the exception of a portion of the
sky, as seen through the window, the
original color of which remained nearly
entire. Finally, its destruction was
completed in 1770, by one Mozaa, who
actually scraped out most of the few
outlines which remained of the original,
and had inserted heads of his own in all
the figures but three, when he was
stopped by a change in the convent, and
anew prior succeeding.
In 1796, B maparte, out of respect, for
the place, rather than that it sigmfied
much what now became of the picture,
signed an order th re, before he re
mounted his horse, prohibiting any
military use being made cf ibe apart
ment ; but soon after, one of his gener
als broke down the doors, and made a
stable of it. The dragoons, as m ght
be expected, amused themselves with
throwing stones at the heads, being told
they were meant to represent tbe Hpos
tles. The refectory was then nstd for
some years as a magazine of foiage;
and when at length permission was
given to wall up the door, in order to
prevent further dilapidations, so little
was it attended to, that in 1800, a flood
having covered the floor a foot deep
with water, it was suffered to remain
until it dried by evaportion.
Such is the history, and so complete
the destruction of this celebrated pic
ture ; and thus entirely from tradition,
and through the medium of copies and
engravings, do we derive all the knowl
edge of its merit which we can now
obtain. Happily those copies are nu
merous, and some of them by oonfcom
porary artists of note, who studied the
original in the days of its greatest pres
ervation.
Those persons who began to eat
large quantities of fish a few years ago,
and have kept up the practice ever
since without having experienced the
desired increase of intellectual capacity,
may thank the New Orleans Republican
for this explanation: “Unless a man
has brains it is useless for him to eat
brain food. It has never been claimed
for fish that it crtates, it only strength
ens the brain.”
An Ice-Cream Epicure.
He slipped into the ice-cream saloon
very softly, and when the girl asked
him what he wanted, he replied :
“Corn beef, fried potatoes, pickles
and mince pie.”
“ This is not a restaurant; this is an
ice-cream parlor,” she said.
“ Then why did you ask me what I
wanted for ? Why didn’t you bring on
your ice cream ?”
She went after it, and as she returned
he continued ;
“You see, my dear girl, you must in
fer—you must reason. It isn’t likely
that I would come into an ice-cream
parlor to buy a grindstone, is it ? Yon
didn’t think I came here to ask if you
had any baled hay, did you?”
She looked at him in great surprise,
and he went on :
“If I owned a hardware store and
you came in, I would infer that you
came for something in my line. I
wouldn’t step out and ask you if you
wanted to buy a mule, would I?”
She went away highly indignant. An
old lady was devouring a dish of cream
at the next table, and the stranger after
watching her a moment, called out:
“My dear woman, have you found
any hairs or buttons in your dish ?”
“Mercy! No!” she exolaimed, as
she wheeled around and dropped her
spoon.
“ Well, I’m glad of it! ” he con
tinued. “If you find any just let me
know.”
She looked at him for half a minute,
picked up the spoon, laid it down
again, and then rose and loft the room.
She must have said something to the
proprietor, for he came running in and
exclaimed r
“ Did you tell that woman that there
were hairs and buttons in my ice
cream ? ”
“No, sir.”
“ You didn’t ?"
“No, sir, I did not; I merely re
quested her, in case she found any such
ingredients, to inform me ! ”
“ Well, sir, that was a mean trick.”
“My dear sir,” said the stranger,
smiling softly, “did you expect me to
ask the woman if she had found a crow
bar or a sledge hammer in her cream ?
It is impossible, sir, for such articles to
be bidden away in such small dishes ! ”
The proprietor went away growliDg,
and as the stranger quietly supped aw*y
at his cream, two young ladies came in,
sat down near him, and ordered cream
and cakes. He waited until they had
eaten a little, and then remarked :
“ Beg pardon, ladies, but do you ob
serve anything peculiar in the taste of
this cream ?”
They tasted, smacked their lips and
were not certain.
“ Does it taste to you as if a plug of
tobacco had fallen into the freezer ?” he
asked.
“Ah! kali!” they exclaimed, drop
ping their spoons and trying 'to spit out
what they had eaten. Both rushed out,
and it wasn’t long before the proprietor
rushed in.
“See here, rhat in blazes are you
talking about ?” he demanded. “What
do you mean by plug tobacco in the
freezer ?”
“My kind friend, I asked the ladies
lif this cream tasted of plug tobacco. I
j don’t taste any such tas e, and I don’t
! believe you used a bit of tobacco in it!”
“ Well, you don’t want to talk that
way around here,” continued the pro
prietor. “My ice cream is pure, and
the man who says it isn’t tells a bold
lie.”
He went away again, and a woman
with a long neck and sad face sat down
and said to the girl that she would take
a small dish of lemon ice.
It was brought, and site bad taken
about two mouthfuls, when the stranger
inquired :
“Excuse me, madam; but do you
know how this cream was made—have
you an idea that they grated turnip and
chalk with the cream ?”
She didn’t reply. She slowly rose
up, wheeled around, and made for the
door. The stranger followed after, and
by great good luck his coat-tails cleared
the door an instant too soon to be
struck by a five pound box of figs,
hurled with great force by the indignant
proprietor. As he reached the curb
stone he halted, looked at the door of
the parlor and soliloquized :
“ There are times when people should
infer, and there are times when they
shouldn’t. I suppose if 1 had asked
that woman if she thought they hashed
up a saw-mill in the cream she’d have
felt a circular saw going down her
throat.”— Detroit Free Press.
Queen Victoria’s Hift to an American
Lady.
Queen Victoria has presented to Mrs.
Dr. Samuel Tredwell, of Mineola, Jj. 1.,
a half length portrait of herself en
closed in a bronze frame, with bronze
doors finely wrought, bearing the
words: “In recognition of the gift by
Mrs Tredwell of an old family letter
dated 1774, in which is a most interest
ing description of the children of
George 111., written by their governess,
Miss Planta.” Mrs. Tredwell, who is
the widow of Dr. Tredwell, of Mineola,
who died in 1873, found among her
husband’s papers a letter written from
Philadelphia in 1774 by Mrs. Mary
Campbell to her daughter, Mrs. Rebec
ca Frazer, in which Mrs. Campbell
copied a letter from Miss Planta, who
was then governess in the family of
King George 111., describing the royal
children under her care. The letter
begins, “My Dear Rebecca: I know
you love the king.” It contains a
simple personal description of the six
boys and three girls in King George’s
family, all of them being praised for
beauty and princely gifts. Mrs Tred
well sent the letter to the queen last
fall, and this spring received a reply,
dated Buckingham Palace, returning
thanks for the letter, and advising her
of the present of the framed photo
graph, which was sent through the
British legation at Washington.
A l lisirity Hull-Fight.
They have curious ideas of things
over there in Spain. When we in this
country propose to benefit a charitable
object, we undertake theatrical enter
tainments, strawberry soirees, rural
divertisements, or something of that
sort. In Spain they advertise a bull
fight, as was the case recently, when it
was desired to give some pecuniary
assistance to a society having the care
of widows a,d orphans. According to
the accounts, eight bulls, twelve horses,
and two men were slaughtered for the
deleotation of a “ large and apprecia
tive” audience, as well as for sweet
charity’s sake. It is related that the
banderillo, Mariano Canet, was tossed
into the air by the furious animals,
then picked up and thrown skyward
again. It was the poor fellow’s corpse
that struck the earth the second time.
A picador had two legs broken and
three ribs smashed, so that he died the
next morning. The window’s and or
phans’ fund wan, of course, largely ben
efited, but there were two more widows
and a half-dozen orphans added to the
list.
Lexington. —lf there is a place any
where in the great Beyond where good
horses go then there can be no doubt of
the whereabouts of the great Lexing
ton, who but a few days ago closed his
eyes upon the beautiful green pastures
he has trodden for twenty years past.
He rests to day in the Yalhallah. He
filled in his day the measure of his own
ambition—he was great enough to be
enough of a numan to have ambition—
and he filled besides the purses of his
owners and of those who “bet their
sesterces upon bis blood," There be
many lovers of the turf who worship a
perfect horse as most men worship a
woman; who will shed a tear at the
news of his death and sigh at the
thought that mayhap his like will not be
seen again. Grand as is the record of
Kentuoky on the turf, it will be many
a day ere another Lexington adds luster
to her turf annals, and the memory
of Lexington will long live in the rec
ollections of those open and generous
men who love the turf for the pleasure
and not for the profits it affords—Cour
ier Journal.
Studying Natural Philosophy.
Old Keyser fonnd Cooley’s boy stand
ing in a very suspicions manner under
his best apple tree, with a stick in his
hand, and a certain bulgy appeal ance
about his pockets. Having secured him
firmly by the collar, Keyser shook him
up a bit, and then asked him, sternly,
what he was doing there.
“Ain’t a-doin’ nothin’,” said Cooley,
“I came over yer to study.”
“That’s entirely too thin,” exclaimed
Keyser.
“Yes, I did; I oome over yer to study
about Sir Isaac. We had it in our les
son. He was in an orchard and saw an
apple fall, and that made him invent
the ’traction of gravitation ; and I come
yer to see if it was so.”
“It won’t do, sonny,” said Keyser.
“You’re too enthusiastic sbont Sir
Isaac ; and, besides, what were yon go
ing to do with that stick ?”
“ With this stick ? This yer stiok ?
What was I goin’ to do with this stiok ?
Why, a boy gave me this stick to hold
for him while he went on an errand for
his aunt,”
“ And where did that apple-core come
from there on the ground ?”
“That apple-core? That one lying
there ? The birds is awful on apples
this season. I saw a blackbird drop
that there, an’ I says to myself, them
birds are just ruinin’ Mr*. Keyser’s
apples.”
Quin, the actor, being asked by a
lady why there were more women in the
world than men, replied, “Itis in con
formity with the other arrangements of
nature—we always see more of heaven
than of earth.”
