BOUDOIR PROPHECIES.
BY JOHN hay.

One dAy In the Tuileries,
When a southwest Spanish breeze
Brought scandalous news of the Oaeen,
The fair, proud Empress said,
"My good friend loses her head;
II matters 90 on this way,
i shall see her shopping some day
In the Bouleyart-C spucines."
The saying swiftly went
To the Place OF the orient,
And the stout Queen sneered "Sn WELL
You are proud and prude, ma belief
But think I will hazard guess,
i shall see you one day playing chess
With the cure of Csrabanchel."
Both ladies', though not over wise,
Were lucky in prophecies.
For the BOulevsrt shopmeu well
Know the form of stout Isabel.
As she buys her modes f> PdriS;
And after Sedan. in despair,
The Empress, prude and fair
Vert to visit Nddasle ga H-rs
In her villa at Carabsnchel-
But the Queen was not there 20 see.

How ..Graphic" Pictures are Made.


A correspondent of the Boston Transcript
describes visit to the Graphic establishment.
OF the art department the writer says: "Some
OF the sketches which appear in the Graphic are
first drawn by hand on paper with pen and INK
They are finished up just as they are to appear
in the paper. The sketch Is then copied upon a
glass plate through the fundamentally Of
camera. This plate IL called q negative, and
fiom it, by the aid Of the sun or powerful arti-
transfer paper. fhs transfer paper Is very thin,
Monograph stone. After having been properly
prepared, the transfer paper Is placed face
down upon the stone from which the Graphic Is
to be printed, and transfer Is made: T ne re-
with q pen appear upon the surface ofthe lith-
ographic stone, and Is An exact facsimile Of the
original. II looks = II printed on the stone,
what is known IS lithogrsphic ink. The trans
fer, a. al lithographers know, is made in hand
press. Thus 1t win be seen that the engraver's
once got q copy Of the picture, the rest Of the
process is mechanical. The whole outside OF
the Graphic, that part which 10 illustrated, Is
the newspaper. The letter press Is litho graphed
- well as the pictures, by the aid Of the camera
and the transfer process. The stone 10 placed
en- a. Ssq Hn. much ayps With sSs
difference: The surface Of the stone is perfect
ly smooth, the ink from the rollers only adher-
ing to the linked surface Of the stone, which re-
presents the pictures and the type. The blank
spaces on the stone, which appear white on the
paper, are kept vet by boys who sponge over
the sur face this prevents the ink from sticking.
and the result IL exactly as II the paper had
been printed from the type, and cuts dug out
by the tools Of the artist After lithographic
stone has been used for one edition Of the Graph
ic, the pictures on Its surface are rubbed on,
and ii Is ready to have others transferred fer
the next days paper. Thirty thousand impress
sions can be take from one stone, and six, eight,
ten, or ss many presses ~ desired can be run
ming at the same time with duplicate stones.

A Horrible Graveyard.

A correspondent writing from Bombay says
"You have all heard of the Parsees. They are
the jews Of Bombay. They are race that was
excluded from Persia as the Jews have been
from many countries. They have very peculiar
notions Of life, but their cemetery is more pecu-
liar still. 1t is different from all others. We
made a visit to their cemetery, not knowing
at the time that no one was admitted. 1t is
large tract, on the best part of Malober Hill. 1t
is very valuable now, but it was purchased
many years ago. We made application at the
gate for admission and were refused. We ap-
pealed to young Parsee who happened to be
passing. He was dressed in silk, and very
gentlemanly in appearance. He said that no
Europeans were admitted. We told him that
We were not Europeans, but Americans. He
said that he would be very happy to oblige
Americans, but could not, but did consent that
should go up the road, outside the inner
wall, and have view of the city and bay. The
sentinel took us along the winding road, and
rupee given to him acted like a charm. 1t
opened all the gates aud passed the police.
There were no Parsees in sight to stand in our
way, and we entered the prohibited Enclosure.
Tho grounds are surrounded by wall twenty
feet high, and have been used for a great num-
Der OF years by this strange people. There are
no monuments in the cemetery. There are
three round towers about fifty feet in diameter.
and fifty to sixty feet high. On the top of these
brought to the gate and delivered to the priests
and the friends depart. The priests prepare
the corpse and lay it on the CRATE, and it is de-
voured by vultures, and the bones drop through
the CRATE into the charnel house below. These
towers or vaults are called "Towers of Silence"
We saw hundreds of vultures sitting on these
towers, and the sentinel told US that they would
take all the flesh from corpse in an hour. We
asked why these towers? The sentinel, point.
ing to one, said "Parsee with plenty of money
put there to another; s Parse with but little
corpse is placed on the CRATE, the strife and
noise of the vultures is frightful and could be
heard for long distance. We saw those "Tow-

The Committee.ROom VS.. The Floor.

A. score of years ago, and less, it was enough
for nan to disclaim his glowing tribute to the
country; after that he sat down satisfied
His ambition seldom went beyond this, and he
would work weeks and months on q speech to
perfect II to the standard of his time. Doing
this once or twice year, he thought was fulfill
ing all his obligations to his constituency. To
talk eloquently was the chief business, and all
had time to listen. Some of the contents which
agitated the soul of the old orator, appear to
us like tempests in teapot in these latter days
so full Of big events Now. the man who occu-
pies his place does his earnest talking with his
colleagues in the committee-room. He who
speaks in the old way is regarded as superannu-
ated or weak in mind. Now, men are expected
to make their points quickly and in business
like way. The business which was formerly
conducted on the floor of the chamber, Is rapid
ly passing into the committee-room, and the ten
deDcy to strangle extended debate is growing
stronger every session. The raw member, liv-
ing IN the old traditions, who wishes to "save
the country" In speech modelled after Clay or
Webster, Is numerically knocked down with
the gravel or is sure of a hard fall or two at the
hands of experienced athletes who devote them
selves to tripping up new men and bringing
them under discipline. The unitarian has
killed the orator, and the glory of grand sem
fences has departed.-Aibert Rhodes; Speech

WEALTHY CALIFORNIAN MARRIEs A
Young WAsHRRwOMAN.-Sever years ago
citizen of Evansville, whose name is Hartman
Miller, and whose mother and sister still live
here, went to California to seek his fortune. By
dint Of perseverance,, industry and economy he
was quite successful, and at the present time is
the possessor Of 100000. During all the days of
his trials and struggles he remained unmarried.
None of the females that he had met in the tar
west were all that his fancy had painted them:
He needs must come to Evansville, his old
home, for q wife. A few days ago Miller ar
rived here on q visit to his relations, and
while in our beautiful and prosperous city,
told his matrimonial preference to John Ran
kin, the plasterer, who lives on Walnut street.
Rankin mentioned the name of young woman
that he thought would suit Miller, inasmuch as
he was looking for industry, energy and excel.
lence, in preference to vanity, Incidence and
external demonstration Of internal nothingness.
The young woman, Rankin had in his mind 9
eye, was Miss Mary Frances Favor, daughter Of
the worthy sexton Of the Cumberland Presby-
terrain Church, and although laundress, quite
a good girl. A meeting was arranged, . court
ship begun. Miss Favor was the favored one.
The marriage was consummated; the couple
have started for California, and may yet live to
grow up with the country and become one of
the first families Of the Golden Stsse.-Euans-

THE Two ExTREMEs-Two classes of
medical thinkers attempt to cure disease
by opposite modes of treatment. One
class forces the system into preternatural
activity; the other depresses and weakens
it. Both are wrong. To inflame the
blood of an invalid with medicated alco-
hol is as dangerous as to apply undue
steam pressure to a weak boiler; and to
PROSTATE the physical energy, which is
the natural opponent of disease, by de-
pleting treatment, is an act of almost equal
temerity. There is a medium between
these two extremes, and DIR. JOSEPH
WALKER, to whom the world owes the
famous CALIFORNIA VINEGAR BIrTERs,
has been fortunate enough to strike it. He
has produced from simple vegetable ele-
ments without the admixture of any
distilled or fermented fluid, specific
comprising the important properties of a
wholesome tonic, gentle evacuant,
purifier of the secretions, pulmonic,
sedative, and a powerful ambitious
agent Never before we're these six sana-
tive qualities comprehended in one med
icine, and never before did one medicine
cure so many different diseases. Dyspep-
STA, liver-complaint, diseases Of the
kidneys, rheumatism, intermittent fever,
disorders of the bowels, govt, nervous
affections, and maladies proceeding from
impurity of the blood, are only few of
the bodily ills for which VINEGAR
BzTTERs is considered an unfailing
remedy.

LAST fall Mr.. Spencer, who has a farm
near Elk Rapids, Mich, filled pit in his
field with potatoes, covering them only
with boards and potato-tops. During
the night snow fell, and he was unable to
cover them with earth, and they remained
in this condition until this spring, when
the covering of snow, potato-tops and
boards were removed, and the potatoes
found to be untouched by the frost. Per
haps the most remarkable fact connected
with this is that coffee-pot half:full of
water, which was left standing on the
ground beside the potato pit, and was COW
cred only with snow to the depth of about
ice as when placed there last fall.

THE position of American Consul at
Montevideo cannot be very desirable,
judging from the experience of DR.. Der
tram, the late Consul. The pay is only
$1,000, and rents are so high that he was
unable to secure any sort of an office or
residence except tent, and had to do
without any clerk, in consequence of
which the Consuls of the pampered and
effete dynasties of the Old Wcrld socially
cut him. Yet there are enough people de-
sirous of serving the government, we have
no doubt, to accept this position, even
though the salary were reduced to $500

A SOmnambulistic Crime.

A dispatch in yesterdays paper an
nounced that the boy Fits, who is con-
fined in Exeter Jail on a charge of at
tempting the life of lad named John s.
EmmersOn, of Gambia N. H., attempted,
on Sunday night, while in somnambu-
listic condition, to cut the thrOats of three
prisoners confined in the same cell with
him, and succeeded in wounding two of
them before he Was secured. The case of
Fits is one of the most singular that has
ever been recorded, and is well worthy of
place in Owens collection of mysterious
and supernatural exploits.
On the 14th of April Mr.. Charles Rowe,
farmer living near Gambia, N. H.,
secured the services of John s. Emmer-
son, boy of IA, to attend to the chores
about the farm while he was absent as
juryman. About II o'clock on the night
of the boys arrival Mrs. Rowe was awak-
ened by a noise overhead in the room
where Emmerson slept, and called to him.
Receiving no answer, she CROPPED her way
up stairs through the darkness, and, com.
ing to the bed, was Mortified at feeling
the warm blood pouring from the warm
body of the boy, and he apparently dead.
The house was alarmed, and one of the
ladies ran for the neighbors. The first to
arrive was Mr.. Jesse Fits, who was dis
mayed at discovering his own Ak, covered
with blood and lying on the floor by the
side of the mutilated body of the boy.
Though not dead the appearance of the
lad was shocking. His face had been lit
wounds in other portions of his body,
showing that the blows had been
dealt at random. Suspicion at once
fastened itself on the boy Fits,
who was living at his uncle's, tRree-uuar.
tiers Of mile distant. An examination
showed that entrance to the house had
been effected through the parlor window,
and that the room had been approached
through hallway and the rear staircase.
Immediately after Mr.. Fits was summoned
to the house of Rowe, Mrs. Fits repaired
to the room occupied by her nephew, and
found him sleeping quietly, with his
clothes apparently where they were when
he retired. From other indications, how.
ever, it was deemed certain that the bow
had committed the deed, and the general
impression was that it had been done
while asleep. ~ ".'t'.
One of the strangest things about the
matter is, that the boy had never been in
Mrs. R0we's house, and il, as is generally
believed, the deed was committed while
ina somnambulistic state, it opens up new
phase of this strange subject which will
furnish ample food for investigation by
the curious and philosophical. Probably
this is the first instance where q somnam-
bulist has inflicted injury upon another
person while engaged in nightwalking,
and it if it is shown that the deed was
committed while in a sleeping state SOM
nambulists will require to be more closely
watched, and their freedom more carefully
restricted than has heretofore been the
custom.-Chscago Inter- OCEAN.
