A Historical Picture.

The New York Nation says: CAS- q
testimonial of their sympathy with the
Chicago sufferers, Messrs. Goupil have
added to the French collection q pic.
ture by Horace Vernet, walter Scot,
and Allan McAulay.' It was painted
for the Duke of Orleans in 1898, and
was placed in the Dukes collection al
that time; but King Louis Philippe
liked it SO much that after the Dukes
death he had it hung in his own study
at Neu,lly, where it was in 1848. The
palace at Neuilly was burned down
during the revolution, and that part
which was saved contained the picture
IN question. 1t is supposed that some
Communist of the time saved it; al
any rate it was considered lost till about
% years later it turned up in a public
sale at the Hotel Drouot, where Goupi]
& Co. bought it, not knowing ite
origin or its history. When, a few
days ago, the Orleans Princes, rs above
stated, came to see the Chicago collec.
tion, the Due de Montpensier ex.
claimed: "Why, here is our dear fa.
theirs own picture !" The surprise may
be imagined. NJ. Goupil at once
offered to return the picture to the
princes as their property; but, after 9
short consultation, they decided tc
leave it in the collection, adding that,
not only had they no right to it, but
that they were most happy to let the
Americans have a picture which thei1
father, the king, had so much affection
for. The collection is now on it's way
to this country, having been shipped
from Havre on the 28th of March.

A Eour.Year.Old Pianist.

A correspondent of New York pa
per writing from Wurtsboro, n. T.,
says: g
About three quarters of mile from
here, OH the road to Monticello, live
Charles Koran and family. They are
Germans, all of them good musicians.
The Youngest is Paulina, very inter-
esting child, whose musical talents
have attracted much local attention.
She was born in Wurtsboro. in March,
1868, and Is . little over for years of
age. In October last she visited Mon
ticello, the county-seat, with her par
ents, aud there astonished her relatives
and friends by her playing on the piano
q popular air. This was the first inti-
nation that she possessed any remarka-
BILE musical powers- Several other
pieces were suggested for her to play.
Each one Was rendered with accuracy
and effect
About three months afterwards she
wss taken to the church here, by re-
quest, to play on the organ. Seating
herself at the instrument, with her feet
scarcely touching the pedals, without
the least hesitation she played mum.
Der of hymns which she had heard in
church and Sunday school.
Since then she has given additional
evidence of her genius by playing off
hand some very difficult selections after
hearing them . single time. She also
sings well. Her execution 10 superior to
that of many experienced players. Al
together she is q musical wonder.

morning he had been unusually moody
and taciturn. Mrs. Tibner was in her
room, aud while he was undoubtedly
lost in reverie, she heard him utter the
words, "Well, Mary (his wife's name)
is happy, suppose. She's in heaven
now; the young one, tool"
Turning quickly, and addressing him
in tones of astonishment, Mrs. Tibner
said: "Good God! do you mean to
say Mary is dead! Didn't you tell me
she had gone away and left youa"
"Oh, yes" replied Hubert, "she has
left me, but she's dead"
The house wherein these families
have lived in East New York is an old
frame house, once occupied as q truck
house. Public attention centres upon
it now as the the theatre of what are
generally believed to be the insane
murders committed by John Henry
Casper Hubert.
The action of Justice Hamilton, taken
last evening, to have the bodies Of the
Tbner children exhumed, will undoubt-
edly clear up mystery to all in any
degree acquainted with the facts herein
narrated.

Intelligence Of the Horse.

Some of the stories concerning the
intelligence of horses which are now
going the rounds, it is rather hard to
believe; for instance, the case of a
Western inebriate whose faithful horse
helped him out of the gutter and stead
led him on his way home. An Iowa
City paper relates that recently hos
tier in that city gave his horse an un.
provoked blow, whereupon the horse
took his forearm in his mouth, and
holding it in a firm grip between his
incisors, bent over him until he lay on
the ground, then, without letting go
his 'hold," picked him up, then shook
him again, then laid him down and
picked him up, and followed that dis
cipline with another shake. When
after repeated shakes and levelling dis
cipline, the poor fellow succeeded in
extricating bis arm, it was severely
mangled with the teeth of the malicious
chastiser, and the aid of a surgeon was
called into requisition to dress his
wOunda.

HYDRAULIC GRADING.

From the Memphis Avalauehe, Apen 20.
The experiment of removing the
bluffs in front Of the city by washing,
SO much talked of during the past two
weeks, was fairly tested yesterday, and
Il und to be impracticable, the firm,
solid clay Of which they are formed
proving too tough to be dug out by the
most powerful washing power OF the
most powerful horse and steam engine
within the reach of our authorities.
Two trials were made during the day,
the first in the forenoon, when one Of
the steam fire engines tried its strength
near the foot of Beal street, under the
direction of Fire Chief Anderson. and
in the presence of large number of
spectators, committee from the City
Council and several experienced min.

head Of steam beyond sixty pounds,
while 1t could not work kmore than few
minutes without foaming and getting
out of order: Tho amPlayed from
the nozzle of the hose against the base
of the bluff, failed to make an impress
sion beyond that of cutting furrow of
foot or two, but when pointed 1t the
top of the hill, where the dirt was soft
er. it did such execution that many be-
lieved the thing could be made to work,
provided the requisite power could be
secured.
Arrangements were then made for
Brown L Jones powerful coal tug, the
A11ai0 RSrvnv, 9TH hA~ ~
ron pump, TO try it on during the after;
up alongside the levee in: front of the
bluff, attached the city fire hose and
commenced operations, throwing a
steady stream with m immense force,
and working up to 12O pounds pressure,
with such effect that the hose finally
gave way. The bluff resisted success
fully all efforts to do more than make
faint impression, except near it's sur
face, where for q time, the stream cut
the earth With a. much ease - if it
were snow-dritts, sending it flying down
the flume toward the river in q way
that bid fair to prove success but as
soon as the tough formation beneath
the line where frosts and washes fene-
trate were reached, the force proved
Intellectual, and after . careful test it
was given up.
Several old California miners, who
were lookers-on at the time, expressed
surprise at the result, and said that in
oil their mining experience never had
they found earth hard enough to stand
up against such hydraulic power
The result of the test yesterday set
ties the bluff removal question 80 far
as washing is concerned. The only
method left to get the ugly nuisances
out of the way is to issue contract to
dig and haul them off by pick, spade
and mule power. Let us hope that
this result will be attained at al. early
day.

my grandmother's dear friend was

She taught me out of her Hebrew
Bible the language of her fathers, and

retaining all the charms that had made
her whole life brilliant. She was mar
ried, I think, in the year 1890. Her
husband died 20 years after, and thence
forth she lived with my grandmother.
Mr.. Renwick caused two rings to be
made, each an exact pattern of Heman,

an oval disk of chrysoprase, on which

but what this is the same-that the

The English Coal Fields.

The English coal fields have just
been gauged by scientific commits
sion, and with q somewhat startling re-
suit. It seems there is a supply which
may last 1910 years, and may give out
in PIG years. The great discrepancy
between the two estimates results from
the great uncertainty which of necessity
exists as to some of the conditions of
the problem. First, it is not certain
how much coal there is under the Brit
ish islands, though the available sup
ply is estimated by the geologists at
lac, 48O million tons. Secondly, 1t is
not certain how deep future genera
tions will be able to work. As the tenn
perature of the air in the mines is
about 80 degrees at the depth of fifty
feet, and increases at the rate of one
degree for every sixty feet of
additional depth, it is easily calculated
that at the depth of about 8, 900 feet it
would be 100 degrees. Deeper than
this, it would hardly be practicable to
work, unless with better methods of
cooling the mines than IRE now in use.
With such improved methods it is
thought that mines might be worked to
a depth of l. 900 feet. Thirdly, the rate
of increase of the consumption of coal
is uncertain. For domestic purposes
alone it is computed that the English
people are now using about one ton a
year per head; and the quantity de-
voured by the myriads of steam engines
is continually increasing. At the pres
ent rate of consumption, 1910 years
is the estimated duration of the supply
at the present rate of increase
of consumption, 276 years. What the
actual intermediate figure will be, it is
impossible at present to say. Perhaps
in four or five hundred years England
may be obliged to retire from the man.

The iron consumed in the United
States is year by year comingin greater
quantity from Great Britain. Out of
500 900 tons exported by that country
last year, 156. 757 tons were taken by
the United States against 1856 tons
in the year preceding. In October last
the quantity imported from this source
was s., 174 tons, or more than the whole
product OF the iron works of this ccun-
try during that month.
