The Invention OF Litnogrnphy.
BY JAMES PARTON,

The impatieuce of a German washerwOman
led TO the Invention of lithography. The histocy
OF that elegant art begins with homely dumes-
tic scene, which occurred at Munich about the
year 1898, andin which three characters figured,
Madame Senetclden, the poor widow of au
excellent actor, then recently deceased; her
son, Alois Senefelder, aged twenty-five, young
man OF an inventive turn; and the impatient
washerwoman just mentioned. The wasnerWo-
man had called at the home of this widow for
the weekly "Wash;n but the "list" was not
ready, and the widow asked her son to take it.
He looked about the room for piece of paper
upon which to write IL, without being able 10
find the least fragment and he noticed also that
his ink was dry. Washerwomen are not apt TO
be oyerawed by such customers, aud this one GER
tainly aid not conceal her impotence while the
huitiess search was proceeding, The young man
had in the apartment smooth, soft, cream-
colored stone, such as photographers no " use.
lie had also mass OF paste made of lampblack,
wax soap, and water In the hurry of the
moment he dashed upon the SOFT smooth stone
the short list OF garments using for the purpose
thls awkward lump of oily paste. The washer
woman went of with her small bundle OF
clothes, peace was restored TO the family, and

Right IN the track where sherman
PlOughed his red furrow,
Out Of the narrow cabin,
Up from the cellars burrow,
Gathered the little black people,
With freedom newly lowered,
Where, beside their Northern teacher,
stood the soldier, Howard.
He listened and heard the children
OF the poor aud long enslaved
Reading the words OF Jesus,
Singing the songs of David.
Behold the dumb lips speaking,
The blind eyes seeingl
Bones Of the Prophets vision
Warmed into belngl
Transformed he saw them passing
Their new ltfe's portal;
Almost 1t seemed the mortal
Put on the immortal.
No more with the beasts of burden.
No more with stone and clod,
Bat crowned with glory and honor
In the image of God!
There was the human chattel
It's manhood taking;
There. i'm each dark, bronze statue,
A soul was waking
The man OF many battles,
with tears his eyelids pressing,
Stretched over those dusky foreheads
His one-armed blessing.
And he said.-"Who hears can never
Fear for or doubt you:
What shall tell the children
Up North about your"
Then ran round q whisper, murmur.
Some answer devising;
And little boy stood up:-"Massa,
Tell em we're rising!"
o black boy of Atlanta
But half was spoken:
The slaves chain and the masters
Alike are broken.
The one curse of the races
Held both in tether:
They are rising-all are rising,
The black and white together!
o brave men and fair women!
Ill comes of hate aud scorning;
Shall the dark faces only
Be turned 10 morning?
Make Time your sole avenger,
All.hcaling, all-redresstng;
Meet Fate halt way, and make it
A Joy and blessing

The FINE ARTs.-The anecdote of the in
terview between Hiram Powers and the
Ohio farmer, who desired to apprentice his
son to the ''sculpting" trade, has often been
repeated as good illustration of the gross
ignorance of Americans on the subject O.
the fine arts. The father, after having in
quired and ascertained how much Mr..
Powers made year by ''scnlpting," gave
as reason for his questions that he had
been in doubt whether to make bis son a
sculp tor or carpenter, and added, that he
had now determined to learn him to
''sculpt" A match for this story, however
can be read in the columns Of the London
Times Of September 2ad, where the follow
1 advertisement appears: "To Sculptors. =

THE "WoMAN QUESTION. ."-Gracs Green
wood writing to Horace Greeley corrective
OF some errors he is supposed to have made
on the Woman Question:" relates the fol-
lowing: "Once when travelling in the
Australian Tyrol I passed on the road a
singular establishment. 1t was cart load :
ed with manure, and drawn by o COW, .
donkey and woman, harnessed together.
The master Of this grotoque tandem team,
burly peasant, walking leisurely beside it
medtatyely smoking his meereschaum. -
One could see by bis placied countenance,
that his soul had never been vexed by the
woman question. Seeing that Mr..
Greeley does not endorse fully the business
of the strong minded, this is supposed to be
o severe cut on the philosopher.

not partake of medicine from any one. Ht
was deranged and thought the doctors
wanted to poison him. The doctors though
it was not strange that his brain should bt

his mind is clearer, and he has forgotten al
