told Lawyer Ford Of Lancaster, who were glasses,

CoLoRs--In these, the ancient certainly far exceed
ed the moderns. Sir Humphrey Davy made many
efforts to anayze the celebrated Tyrian purple of,hs
East but these efforts were unsuccessful He declared
he could not discover Of whstit was composed. The
Naples yellow, too, though less known was much
used, and the art Of making it is now entirely gone.
The Tyrian purple is the color Of many houses Of
Pompeil, and they look as fresh as just painted.
The colors of Titan are equally vivid and beau.i.

of Sir Joshua Reynolds already look faded he himself

MEMORIES OF THE DEPARTED.
Dark Azruel* came to my childhood's home,
Nor pited my baby tears
But carried my Mother away to the tomb
In the bloom of her youthful years
He snatch'd her away from my fathers arms,
And the babes of her motherly care;
He clos'd her eyes on the bright worlds charms,
And all who loy'd her here.
But her spirit scared beyond the skies
TO happier land than this;
And they say no tears can dim her eyes
In that glorious world Of bliss.
My baby Brothers tarred not long,
But followed my Mother soon;
And quickly my Father joined the thronS
Of the bless'd around the throne.

They left to mourn them here. Es

The operators of Cornwall, in England, consider
ripe apples nearly as nourishng as bread and mora
so than potatoes. In the year 1901, year of scar

SATURDAY, Aug. 3.
The Senate not in session to-day.
The House, IN Committee Of the Whole took up the
Indian Appropriation bill.
An amendment was adopted, appropriatiug $4,000
for procuring information and preparing statistics, and
making treaties WITH and presents to, various tribes of
Indians in the United States, the borders of Mex
leo.
In the course of the FIVE minutes debates, Mr. Kauf-
man, of Texas said that he had read letters from Ma
or Neighbours who of the opinion that few thou
sand dollars, to make PRESENTS would have far better
effect than military force to the Indians, and
expenditure of millions in warfare.
Among other amendments adopted, was one Of S15,-
600 for the extngushmen Of the title of Indians in the
territory of Minnesota, and similar sum to carry out
the treaties with the Texas Indians and preserve peace
and tranquility with them.
Pending the question of the third reading of the BILL
