A New Thing in Physiology.

The San Francisco Exam re-
says gentleman of that city abos
twenty. Eve years Of age, russ
complexion and curly red hair. wlso
had an invractabIe and painful
Ger on the lefu arm, resisting Al
previous modes of treatment,
Yielding to the request Of trying
the effect of transplanting a piece
of skin to the ulcer from another
person. The ulcer was prepared
in the usual manner by his ply
sician, and bit of skin about an
inch square was taken from the
arm of a fine healthy negro man
and Immediately spread over the
ugly ulcer, and then carefully
dressed and bandaged The skin
transportation had the desired
effect. Healing granulation sprang
up, and the unsightly ulcer soon
healed. A few months afterward
he went to his physician and told
him that ever since the sore heal
ed the black skin commenced to
spread, and it was still increasing.
About one-third Of his arm was
completely negroed The doctor
himself is alarmed. The high prob
ability is that the whole skin of
this white man will become negro.
This is new thing under tho sun.
1t would be rather difficult to ex-
plain the ply siological process
which takes place to bring about
such a skin change as this. The
problem is, how can the coloring
matter OF the skin be so radically
changed2 And how is this pig
ment change propagated1 1t is
certain the law of capillary attrac :
ton plays no Insignificant part in
the spreading process. Grating

Josh Billings ON Marriage.

Sum marry for love without
cent in thei- pocket nor drop of
pedigree. This hooks desperate,
but it is the strength of the game.
Sum marry because wimmin may
be scaIce next year. and live to
wonder how the crop holds out.
Sum to get rid of themselves and
discover that the game was one
that two can play at, and neither
win. Sum marry the second time
TO get even and find it gambling
game-the more they put down the
less most certainly they take up.
Sum marry to be happy and not
finding it, wonder where all the
happiness goes to when it dies.
Sum marry they mt tell who,
and live they can't tell how. Al
most everybody gifts married, and
it IL . good joke. Sum marry in
haste, and then sit down and think
it all over. Sum think it carefully
over fust, and then sit down and
and marry. Both ways are right
If they hit the mark. Sum marry
coquettes- This is like buying a
poor farm with no good bottom
land heavily mortgaged, and vcsS
ing the rest of your days to clear ofs
the mortgages. But after aii mar
ried lie is full as certain as tive

THE LITTLE PEOPLE

A dreary place would be this earth,
We're there no little people in t
The song of life would lose ito mirth,
Were there no children to begin it;
No little forms, like buds to grow,
- And make the admiring heart surrender !;
No little hands on breast aud brow,
To keep the thrilling love chords tender.
The sterner souls would grow more Stern,
Un,eeling nature more iahuman,
And man to stole GOODNESS turn,
And woman would be less than woman.
Life's song, indeed, would lose its charm,
Were there no babies to begin it:
A dOlelul place this world would be,
Were tnere no little people in it.

From the Atlantic Monthly, for December.
Men said at vespers; AL is welli
In one wild night the city fell
Fsll shfines of prayer and marts Of gain
Before the fiery hurricane.
On threcscOre spires had sunset shone,
Where ghastly sunrise looked on none:
Men clasped each others hands, and said.
The City ofthe West is dead! ge~e
Brave hearts who fought, in slow retreat,
The 6ends of fire from street TO street j &
Turned, pow erless, To the binding glare,
The dumb defiance of despair.
A sudden impuls thrilled each wire
That signnled round that seat Of fire =
Swift words Of cheer, warm heart .throbs came;
In tears OF pity died the flame!
The messages Of hope shot forth, 4~~s.
And, underneath the serering wavo, = lts-f
The world, full handed, reached to save.
Fair seemed the old but fairer still
The now, the dreary void shall 6ll,
With dearer homes than those 0'erthrown,
For love shall lay each cornerstone.
Rise, stricken city from thee throw, -,
The ashen sackcloth of thy woe;
And build, IS Thebes to Amphiou's strain,
10 songs of cheer thy walls againi
| How shriveled, in thy hot distress,
The primal sin Of selfshness
| How instant rose, to take thy part,
The angel In the human hssrtl
I An NOT In vain the hames that toased
Above thy dreadful! holocaust;
The Christ gain has preached through thee
The gospel of humanity ~
Then lift once more thy towers on high,
And fret with spires the Western sky.

And love is still miraculous

the amount of bill run up by his

said: cit is q false and foolish

Death Of Gen. Anderson!

News was received in this city
that Gen Robert Anderson, known
as the hero Of Fort Sumpter, died.
on Oct. 9th, at Nice, France. He
was native of Kentucky, and a
graduate of the West Point Militia
ry Academy in the class Of 1925.
He served in tho Black Hawk war
in 1882, and was promoted for gal
liant conduct in the Florida war.
He served in the Mexican war, and
was rewarded with tile grade of
Major for gallant and meritorious
conduct in the battle Of El Molino
del Rey. in which he was severely
wounded.
At the breaking out of the Re-
bellion, Major Anderson was in the
command of the forts in Charles
ton harbor, with a small garrison,
having his headquarters in Fcrt
Moultrie. Deeining that Fort un
tenable, he transferred his entire
command to Fort Sumter, during
the night of April 6, 1861, taking
with them all the provisions, muni.
tions, etc, that could be conven-
iently transported. His course
was assailed by the Secessionists
as a'gross breach OF faith but it
was everywhere applsuded as pa
triotic and gallant. Orders we're
sent from Montgomery to General
Beuregard to demand the surren-
der Of Fort Sumter, and ia case of
refusal, to reduce it. Major An
dcrson declined to surrender, and
on the 18th Of Apri. he wss duly
informed that fire would be opened
on Fort Sumpter in one hour.
What followed is best told in the
brief report sent to the Gov
ernment: E
