The First IliiKrnihlg IViu, Printed I on a Ln *i n d i-i-am* Bundle. Two groups of tourists were standing in the Pitti palace before the large plate of pure silver upon which Finignerra, the great muster of early engraving, had depicted Ids lovely “Madonna su<i Child" in a trellised arbor covered with roses. An Italian lady was telling her friends in an undertone the charming anecdote of Finignerra and the laun dress. The artist, it seems, in mastering the new and difficult art of engraving upon metal, had acquired a singularly keen eye and delicate touch, and he also pos sessed a number of very fine and sharp instruments, which he used in his work. Being a kindly man he sonietimes place'! both his sure hand and his line tools at the service of his friends and neighbors in performing for them some of the simpler operations of surgery, until he acquired quite a reputation for . ctoi ing their hurts. One day a poor laundress who had been washing clothes, in wringing out a garment in which a needle had been carelessly left, ran it deeply into her hand. Worse yet, it broke off in the wound and a part remained imbedded in the flesh. She was in much pain, and on her way back from the stream I where she had been washing she stop ped at the house of the artist and was admitted. Entering his studio she hastily set down her wet and heavy bundle and held out the injured band, begging his assistance. Finignerra left bis work to help her, and after long mid delicate manipulation extracted the broken nee dle. The woman thanked him and turned to go, lifting her bundle from its resting place. Then lie saw that she had set it upon one of his engravings. Like all others at that time, it was a plate of engraved metal, complete in itself, and regarded as a single and sufficient picture, exact ly as if it had been a painting. But as the damp bundle was raised the quick eye of Finignerra saw that it had received an impression from the engraved picture beneath, and his quick mind seized at once the suggestion of the possibility of indefinite reproduc tion from a single original. So that fr.mi the kindness of a great artist to a poor washerwoman sprang the discov ery which has placed the beautiful products nf the engraver’s art within the r< in ii of all of ns today!—Youth's Companion. ENGLISH RED TAPE. It Took ;i Broken Leg to Get the < hoir Kvpuirrd. $• It is stall d that one morning recent ly a young fellow who had just secured a clerkship in a government office was considerably startled by a little scene that he witnessed. An elderly man, one of the senior clerks in the room, sud denly rose from his desk, dragged the comfortable chair on which he had been sitting into the middle of the seized a poker and attacking the chair with great vigor succeeded in breaking one of its legs. When it was done, the official gave a sigh of relief and flung the chair into a corner of the room The budding junior's first thought was that his si nior had suddenly taken leave of Lis senses, and he almost ex pected that his colleagues would put him under restraint. But to his aston ishment the other clerks hardly raised their eyes while the work of destruction was in progress. Before the office work was over the newcomer sought informa tion from one of his fellow clerks. “Can you tell me, ” said he. “why Mr. Dash carried on in that extraordi nary fashion'.' I mean, of course -‘'hen he Imike a perfectly sound leg oft chair in which he had been sitting.’’ "Oh, that was all right!" replied the other with a meaning laugh. “A caster had come off one of the legs of that chair, and, you know, ‘my lords’ will not provide us with new casters; they will at tend to nothing less than a broken leg. So Dash had to break one of the legs to get his chair put right at the public expense.’’- London Standard. The Dead Irlnliiunii. Some Irish body snatchers had rifled 'i grave and bid their booty in a corner of the churchyard, when it occurred to a half tipsy fellow, who had been watch ing them unobserved, that it would be pleasanter to be driven back to the near est town than to walk. He accordingly sei in ted the dead man under a hedge and laydown in his place. Hewn duly transferred to a cart, but when about half the journey was over one of the men who had touched his hand scream ed to his friend, “Good heavens, the body is warm!" Hereupon, in a deep voice, the sup posed dead man remarked, "If you had been where l ye been for the last two days, ypn'd be warm too!" In a moiui iit he was left in full pos session of the vehicle!—Sir M. E. Grant Dull’s Diary. \ Bloods It 1 rwt > Kdltor. A down east editor has drawn up Home new game laws which he wants adopted.

Loss of Vitality Known to be the Parent of this Dread Disease—The Method of Cure thd Has Proved Most Successful. From the Republican The most common of all human ailments ( is deranged digestion: the most aggravating] disease, inherited by man, dyspepsia. In sidious in its nature, varied in its forms it tortures its victims, baffles the skill of phy sicians and the power of medicine. The primary cause of dyspepsia is lack of vitality; the absence of nerve force; the loss of the life-sustaining elements of the blood. It is a truism that no organ can properly perform its function when the source of nutriment fails; when it is weakened on one hand and over-taxed on the other. When the stomach is robbed of the nourishment demanded by nature, assimilation censes un natural gases are generated, the entire sys tem responds to the discord. A practical illustration of the symptoms and torture of dyspepsia is furnished by the case of Joseph T. Vandyke, 440 Hickory St., Scranton, Pa- in telling his story Mr. Vandyke says: “Five years ago, I was afflicted with a trouble of the stomach,, which was very aggravating. I had no appetite, could not enjoy myself at any time, and especially was the trouble severe when I awoke in the morning. I did not know what the ailment was, but it became steadily worse and I was in constant misery. “I called in my family physician, and lie diagnosed the case as catarrh of the stomach. He prescribed for me and I had his prescrip tion filled. I took nearly all of the medi cine, but still the trouble became worse, and I felt that my condition was hopeless. My friends recommended various proprie tary remedies, some of them among the best XTTTT A nn DO YOU WANT ?

A Schema to Give Evary Man a Farm, by a Person Who is Land Poor. M it. Editor : Some years ago I took an idea that land was the safest investment that a man could make in Georgia, and as a consequence, I am now land poor; have more than I can profitably make use of, and consequently want to get rid of some, or all of it, and I have decided to adopt the following measure to get rid of it: I will say,in the first place, that the land is the best in Monroe county, is fine ly watered, and is adapted to raising cat tle, sheep and hogs, and is the best lor cotton, corn, wheat, oats and other grains in the county. There arc a number of tenant houses on the place, and a home recently built that cost me over <3,000 to build. The land, in the first place, cost me from <25 down to <4 per acre-saying altogether, about <lO per acre, without improvemeiTts ; and to get rid of it, I will average the whole place at <lO per acre, in the following way : I will have the entire place, 1,600 acres, sub-divided into 50-acre lots, at <lO per acre, giving more than 50 acres to one party, if desired, and less than 50 to another, according to his ability to pay for it, as the case may be, the entire quantity to be drawn for. In other words, the number of lots and quantity of land to be put in a bat or box, and drawn out under approval of a com mittee of gentlemen, at some stated time, so that all shall have a fiirchar.ee to get a home at a low price, and no one has a chance of losing their m >ney, or failing to get their value, as paid, and some get a farm at far less than cost The land is 12 miles from Macon, a city of some 50,000 or 60,000 people, and is adapted to market gardening, and for northern people who know how to work, it otters a fine opportunity for a colony of energetic citizens. It is all together, and would make a fine settlement, having the best of pastures, water, springs, creeks, etc. The land is timbered with hickory, beach, oak and pine, and some cedar; in fact, it is the best place I know of, and I am satisfied the ed ’ * 4’ ♦V»/ » f TY«’ ill VO MC Ii I'd* "V7 11 RV I say. I would be glad to have any parties who mean business, to go over the plantation, familiarize themselves with the advan tages, and communicate with me at Barnesville, before going into the matter, assuring them that I mean what I say. In addition to the terms offered above, I have concluded to make the terms of pay ment in four annual payments without interest, which is tantamount to putting the price of the land very low. The titles to the land have been in the posses sion ot one or two parties for years, and have never been questioned and arc as good as gold. lam not particularly wedded to this plan of getting rid of my lands, but only suggest the idea—any better plan would be thankfully substituted.
