Leaf Photographs.

Apretty amusement, especial for those who
contemplate the study of botany, is the TAX
ing of leaf photographs. One very simple
process is, at any druggists, get FIVE cents
worth of bichromate of potash. Put this ill.,
to a two-ouncc bottle of soda water. When
the solution has become saturatcd-that is,
the water has dissolved at much as it will
pour off some of the clear liquid into shall
low dish; on this float piece OF ordinary
writing paper till it is thoroughly and evenly
moistcned. Let it become nearly dry in the
dark. 1t should be bright yellow. On this
put the leaf, under it a piece OF soft black
cloth and several pieces of newspaper. Put
this between two pieces of glass. all the pieces
should be the same size, and with spring
clothes-pins fasten them all together Expose
to bright sun, placing the leaf so that the
rays will fall on it as nearly perpendicular as
possible. In few minutes it will begin to
turn brown, but i req, ires from half an hour
to several hours to produce good print.
When it has become dark enough take it from
the frame and put it in clear water, which
must be changed every few minutes till the
yellow part becomes perfectly white. Some
times the venation of the leaves will be quite
distinct BY following these directions it is
scarcely possible to fail, and a little practice
will make perfect. The photographs if we'll
taken are very pretty as well as Interesting.

CHAPTER Ill.


Now. for the purposes of this story we 10
not need, and We do not intend, to depart oy
one hairs breadth from the course OF vera
cious history We make this Introductory
remark because it may seem strange to many
that Scribbleton did not inform the lady he
had rescued, and to whom he had immedi'
atcly become so attached, of either his real
name or his boarding place: and equally
strange that she shoulu nav. H.. . invite
her rescuer to future calls when she had ac-
ccp,cd his Acquaintance SO readily and confided
in degree far beyond that to which he was
entitled simply in view of the service he had
rendered. And as these omissions caused some
future complications, to be unfoldcd in the
due course Of our narrative, the author has
thought best that it should bc distinctly un-
ders,ood that they are not mere literary
trick to confer upon the story greater de-
gree of interest They both came about quite
naturally: for Scribbleton, in speaking first of
his nam dt p'uHt rs possibly known to Miss
Howard, had had his mind diverted from his
purpose TO mention his real name, by her eX-
preston of pleased surprise and the CONVEX
sa,iou respecting his writings that immedi-
a,cly followed; and as for her, il did not even
occur To her until too late, that, in her maid-
cnly embarrassment at the door of her uncle $
house. she had not made her invitation to
enter sufficiently comprehensive to include
more than the present moment. Both were
restive under the omissions, for both were in
a mood for better and continued acquaint-
ance; but now it was entirely q matter OF
chance whether they should ever meet again,
and love and friendship are satisfied with
nothing less than certainty in their affairs
1t so happened that Miss Howard was an
acquaintance and very dear friend of Mrs.
Sullivan, and that her calls upon that lady
were of not very rare occurrence. The very
day subsequent to her adventure at the Park,
Miss Howard made one Of these not lnfre'
aucnt visits. and was received by Mrs Sulll
van with her usual atfablity.
'.Nly dear Mrs. Sullivan, such a delightful
thing happened to me yesterday, which
have come expressly to tell you about, wa!

the customary kiss and embrace. And ther
followed the story of the rescue recounted il
the previous chapter.

stories. 1t happened that.I have read coo'
many Of them, and knew his nom dc plum

what good is to be derived for the STATE OF
black men Who az tks j. rssf eIsisfs IL this
fertile and blessed aoil! What about the
colored men, Are they not Ike their white
brethren, sons of this Beloved State OF Lou
isiana and as such entitled to the same
rights!
These Italians have all their lives been
accustomed to hear the white tillers OF
the soil denounced as unfit and unsafe to
be trusted with suffrage. They are not
thus inclined to visit upon those who pro-
duce the crops upon which the city indus
tries depend the same indignities and ex-
CT usion which they quit their native coun-
try to avoid, and if any further doubt Of
the object Of that meeting exists it is thus
dispelled.
The president concluded his remarks:
We have SO much at stake in the present
campaign that we have to do all IN our
power to send good, true and honest men
TO the next Legislature, and try to put none
but honest and able men in office, and that
to the best OF our ability.
The good OF the State is paramount to
all. Let our dissatisfied friends and office
seekers stand aside. BY pursuing such a
course. have no doubt fellOw-citizens and
friends. that We shall reach that great aim,
the good of all.
This admirable and intelligent address,
according to the Times, was Endorsed by
the club as expressing its views in relation
to the White League.
In the concluding paragraph the Repub-
lican party is chiefly interested. These 1tal-
ians have announced their determination to
defy the Democracy and avoid the White
League. They have not pledged them
selves to support the Republican party,
but if the Republican party nominate
"good, true and honest men for the Legis-
lature, and try to put none but honest and
able men in Office" there will be no OBJ
stacle to such nominations receiving the
support of the naturalized citizens of 1tal-
ian nativity who have made Louisiana
their home and their country.

PHYSIOLOGY AND CRIME.

The terrible instance of juvenile de-
pravity brought to light in Boston is just
now startling the reading world with its
horrible details. The facts, as indicated
by the discovery Of decomposed body and
| the confession Of the murderer, are that
on the eighteenth day of March last lit
| tie girl named Katie Curran, ten years Of
age, and living at South Boston, was MUIR
dered by Jesse Poneroy, boy of eight
cen. The body Of the child, which is
fully identified by its clothing, was lately
found in the cellar Of store occupied by
Pomeroy's mother, covered with rubbish
and ashes. At an inquest it appeared the
body had been cut in many places, as if
for the devilish pleasure of cutting, more
than to kill.
Suspicious circumstances pointed to
Pomeroy as the murderer, he being con-
fined in Jail for torturing to death boy
named Mellen when the body of the girl
was discovered. He was charged with the
killing, and has made complete confes-
sion of his crime, and in detail gives the
manner of the accomplishment of the foul
murder. He induced the child to go to
the cellar for some article which she
wished to purchase, followed her, and
mos. inhumanly cut her throat with a
jack knife, and disposed of the body as
found Tho how o1nno II, tho cforo
when the girl entered, and he positively
asserts that no one but himself knew
of the murder.
Subsequent investigations regarding the
char acter of the boy Pomeroy reveal the
facts of his possessing disposition almost
iendish by nature. He was terror to his
playmates, and is belle we'd to be guilty Of
other crimes. When questioned as to his
motives for killing Katie Curran, he said
he "could not help it." 1t is in the testi-
mony of the boys mother that he has
been the trouble Of her life. She says
that previous to his birth she was strangely
fascinated with the operat ton of slaughter
ing cattle, and, her husband being a
butcher, she frequently repaired to the
slaughter house, and even would assist
him at his butcher work. The boy Jesse
was born butcher. His delight, when
child, was to cut meat with knife.
He ould stick pins in other children, and
and in many ways exhibited intense
pleasure in performing the most fendish
acts of cruelty.
The character of the boy murderer is
engaging the attention of the leading ply
sicians of Boston, not for the purpose of
seeking Giro u instances and physiological
condi tons palliative of his crime, for the
death penalty extended to such boy
would be mercy to him and his, but in
the interests Of hu man ply Biological sci
enc e, showing how far the previous im-
pressions of mother may influence the
character of her child. 1t is case of sad
human depravity; that of child born
with the mark of Cain upon his brow,
living under strange influence of muir
der mania.
