Enc GLOWING
"Art item" is from the Rome CORES
pondent of the Boston Post. The writer
is speaking of the wondrous statue Of
Moses by Michael Angelo, in the church
of San Pietro in TjRcoli:
The Hebrew lawgivef is seated on a
marble throne, aud with one hand in
the intensity of his indignation at the
folly of his people, he grasps his long
and flowing beard. This reaches below
his waist, and is carved with great del
icacy and expression. 1t hangs partly
in thick masses, partly in slender locks.
One morning, on entering the church, l
met a prominent clergyman, officiating
at that time at one of the Protestant
chapels in Rome. l inquired if he had
been to pay o visit to the great statue
"What statue ?" was the reply. That
n of Moses in the corner, by Michael
Angelo" is that Moses 7" he rejoined
"Yes; who did you think it wasr
"Well, / didn't know, but rather thought
it was Neptune" why did you sup,

beard was made so long and ropy &c

TIL. Manufacture or Perfumes.

Sulphuret of carbon, which enjoys the
unenviable reputation of smelling like
rotten cabbage, can be manufactured
quite cheaply, and is n of the most
powerful sulphurizers known, being a
d~issolvent of india rubber. 1t has re-
Gently been discovered in France that
this offensive liquid is the best dissolv-
ent of the essential oils of flowers, to
which this latter owe their sweet per-
fumes. This discovery has suggested a
very easy way of obtaining those per-
fumes. A chemist fills a large phial
with the petals, just gathered, of the
flower he wants to operate upon, and,
having poured a sufficient quantity Of
sulphuret of carbon upon them, corks
the vial, shakes it, and lets it stand.
The sulphuret penetrates into the sub
stance of the petals, and expels the
water they contain, which goes to the
bottom. After q six days maceration
the sulphuret charged with the essential
oil of the flowers is decanted in another
vial containing fresh flowers, and this
operation is repeated four times, after
which, if the quantity of flowers be
considerable, the sulphuret will be
strongly colored. 1t is now necessary
to separate the perfume from the sui
phuret. If the quantity be small, the
latter Substance, which is extremely
volatile, may be left to evaporate in the
open air, aud the residue is then treated
with alcohol. But in case the quantity
to be operated upon be larger, oil of
almonds is poured in, the liquor we'll
shaken three or four times a day for the
space of four days, then distilled at a
very low temperature, in order not to
lose the sulphuret, and the residue is
treated with oil as before. Thus the
snlphuret, which is odorous of decayed
cabbage, becomes the great agent by
which the most delicious perfumes are
obtained.

COincidence,

NoAnCAoCnVes
We were travelling with a gentleman
not long since, a few miles from town,
and in the course of conversation we
noticed that he was blind in his left
eye, and made some allusion to his mis-
fortune. He commenced laughing i'm
mediately, and said his horse and dog
had been similarly NORTHUMBERLAND
lost their left eyes. All three were blind
in the same eye. He stated that a few
days before, he overlook q gentleman
in the road and soon discovered that his
left eye was sightless, and calling his
attention to the exact coincidence be-
tween them in this respect, was inform
ed that his horse and dog had been WISH
ted by q similar calamity. Two men,
two horses, and two dogs, travelling in
the same direction, with bnt n eye
each. While we were conversing about
the extreme novelty of the occurrence,
a man came riding up behind us, and to
our great surprise we found that he had
lost his right eye, and his horse had
been similarly afflicted. His dog had
escaped.

position.
The American coins which have been
prepared for the Paris Exposition were
finished a few days ago. There are
twenty-eight pieces, consisting of the
one, two and a half, three, five, ten,
twenty-five, and fifty cents, and one
dollar silver pieces; three and five-cent
pieces of nickel, and one and two-cent
pieces of bronze. The coins are a~rtisti-
cally arranged on an inclined plane,
about one and q quarter feet in length
and one foot in width. This is covered
with the finest quality of royal purple
velvet.
There are two coins of each denomi-
nation, so as to show the diverse and
reverse, the gold pieces being arranged
in two rows, placed one under another.
The silver pieces are arranged in a like
manner, tho nickel and bronze filling
up the remaining space. The coins, as
before stated, have been expressly pre-
pared for the Exposition. They are
what are known as master coins" be-
ing made of the finest metal, in polished
dies, and stamped with o screw-press.
The case or box in which the coins are
placed is an elegant piece of workman
ship. 1t is composed of fine wood Joined
together very neatly, and is covered
with superior purple silk velvet. The
inside of the lid is lined with the finest
white satin, and contains the following
inscription, painted in tie highest style
of art, in neat German text: Coinage

"United States Coins engraved there

Manager Gran in Trouble.

During the late engagement of Risto-
ri At De Bars Opera House, st. Louis,
Grau got himself into a little difficulty.
At the end of the second act, during q
Ristori night, the curtain vas a great
while rising. Though the boys in the
pit cried pull it up" and "show your
head, old Rist;" though the old bum
mers went out and took a second drink,
and the orchestra man looked troubled
and struck up q second tune, and the
women whispered and hustled about to
know the cause, yet all in vain; the
curtain wouldn't rise. 1t didn't even
move; only a supe peeked out through
one Of the "peek holes" to SOMEBODY in
the pit and showed his teeth, whereat
a ~deafening yell arose to 'pull up the
curtain" Well, what was the matter.
Why, Mr.. Grau, the, manager, had got
the editor Of the Western Stage to
publish in his columns some extracts
from the Chicago papers, and for doing
so Mr.. Editor had brough in a bill of
1927. 81 knows nothing about your
leetle bill" Indignantly exclaims Gran,
sand / will no pays such bill. I no
tells you to publish dish. l gets my

plies the editor, "weN see about that
and therefore he issues a writ and at
taches the Italian artiste's wardrobe
for the third act while she was playing
the second. Our readers al imagine
how the indignant delineator Of Medcais
frenzy, Mary Stuart's anger, and Eliza
beth's temper looked when she entered
her dressing-room and found her ''store
Clothes for the next act in the possess
sion of the sheriff, who sat upon Lady
Macbeth's skirt and basque and held
her waterfall in his hand, while he was
smoking his aeerchaum c~omplacently.
She motioned him to move, but he
would't stir; she shouted in the lam
guage of sunny Italy and flashed her
black eyes like poignards in the dark
on him. But he only laughed. OF
course Grau was indignant, but he paid
up, or gave security and settled the
matter-so the play went on tho very
late.

Our Indian Troubles.

The troubles with the Indians on our
frontier do not grow less; il any change,
they increase, and seem more complicated
than ever. We will not now undertake Ia
show the cause or origin Of this war. I'm
doubtedly the construction Of the road to
Montana from Fort Laramie, over the terri
tory which belonged to the Cheyenne In
dians, in violation of our treaty with them
has had much to do in bringing on this war
But be that as it may it is not our Object
now to detail facts like this, nor to ami
madvert upon these facts. Our nation is
at war with tribes of savages; we must
make the best Of it; but let us carry it on
in accordance with the rules of war, SO fai
as possible. Thus far we seem to have
played war, instead of graphing with the
question as though the nation were in
earnest. We talk Of a policy in regard to
Mexico. 1t is vastly more important that
we have policy in regard to the Indian
war.
