The Last Supper.

a correspondent of the Detroit Tri-
bune, writing from Milan, says "Y You
go to an old cavalry barrack, formerly
| the convent Sancta Maria della Grazie,
and find, as best you can, the hall that
was used as the refectcry of that insti-
tuition and there is The IIast,Supper,
by Leonardo da Yinci, a fresco of ina
perishable renown, although about per
ished itself. Everybody In Christen-
dom has seen pictures of this picture,
from copies made when it was possible
to see the original, whether possible to
copy it or not. Sixteen years the artist
tOiled at this fresco. Had it been done
on canvas instead of on a wall, often
damp, it would to-day rival the Trans
iguration' by Raphael. The first quar-
ter of an hour one stands before it his
feeling is as when IN a room where some
renowned and gOd-like character has
lived the occupant has forever de-
parted. As you see the forms of Christ
and the twelve it is as il you had
been led into an ante-chamber in the
land of shades and you become en-
crossed, not so much in what is there,
as In an effort to see what is not there.
Many attempts to restore certain shades,
colOrs, and outlines have mostly been
strokes of additional ruin; and some
such touches are DINNER now than GER
tain others supposed to be those of the
great mater himself. Yet as you gaze
long and intently at these apparitions,
you are conscious of q wonderful power
emanating from them and their atti-
tude, earnest expressions and gestures,
shadOwy and somewhat wild seem to utter
ghOstly whispers along the rude table.
After time, without knowing such a
thing to be possible, you do begin to
discern a loOk-a see out, as the Ger
man tongue better gives it-in the face
of the Lord, which you think could have
been prOduced only by an inspired
painter. The air of divine calmness,
sorrowing seriousness, and Christ like
tenderness still lingering In that face,
seeming TO breathe the words, One of
you shall betray me- is something
miraculous and indescribable.
80 He who observes it, ere he passes on
Panses again returns and gazes long,
That he may call it up when far away"
Photographic art is unable to re-
produce this marvellous delineation Of
divine character in the Saviour's face,
owing TO the decay of the fresco. The
finest copies by the cleverest artists also
fail to transfer It. No means are known
of saving its almost vanished spirit, and
the last people who will ever perceive it
are of the pEe- ent generation.

The stove SwIndIe.

Persons familiar with the cost of iron
castings IN general business have often,
doubtless, wondered what there was IN
stoves over similar fabrics of iron to
make them 80 expensive TO users of
them. Compared to beds, tables,
chairs, carpets and other articles of
prime necessity in household use they
are exorbitantly high They last no
longer than domestic wares generally,
and it would seem ought TO approx
mate In price to other utensils. The
life of q good stove is from five to ten
years, according as it is used, which is
no longer than bedsteads, chairs, tables
and other furniture of similar quality
endure. The Iron molder's Journal
gives some facts as to Ethe cost of max
ing stoves which are Of general interest.
Mr.. John 8. Perry, of Albany, calcu-
lates that gross ton of iron will make
2, ,I20 pounds of clean castings which
would furnish seven stoves of 300
pounds each. He further calculates
that the cost of molding per 100 pounds
is 81. 373, which would make the work
on s stove cost 81 IA for molding.
No. foundry iron was quoted IN New
York, September 10, at $50 per ton,
which at MIR. Perry's figures, would
make the iron in q 300-pOund stove cost
81. 28; the net cost for the stove In
question being 50 40. Such stoves are
sold by dealers without any furniture
st S2S to S3S, according to finish.

Playtng strategy on the RedskIns.

Corporal John Smith, of the 10th
infantry, with four men, was recently
employed on some detail, about twenty
five miles from Fort Sill, Idaho. While
thus engaged he was surprised by e
body of some hundred or more
mounted Indians. he thinks either
Kiowas or COnanehes. As their pur-
pose was Enthusiastically hostile, he and
his men lost no time in taking TO the
only available shelter, an old buffalo
wallow, where in a very uncomfortable,
constrained position, they managed to
protect their bodies and keep their enc
mics at distance for the day and night.
The next morning, however, their suf-
ferings for want of food and water be-
came rather serious, and something had
to be done. Corporal Smith was equal
to the occasion. Taking a piece of his
own white shirt flap, the only substi-
tute for paper to be had, he wrote q
note describing their situation, secured
it with care to the neck of q small,
shaggy, mongrel dog which had fol-
lowed them from the fort then, batter
ing up a canteeD, he fastened it to the
animals tail, one of the men carefully
holding the dog in the meanwhile, the
others attending to the defense.
Next taking a pad of the common blue
fIowered cactus, which grew abundantly
all around their impromptu fortress,
and which, besides the usual spines and
prickles, hes all around its edge large
burrs, much like those of the common
northern burdock, he calmly planted II
under the roof of the dogs tail. Then,
lifting his hand, he administered one
whack upon the animals posterior, and,
to quote the corporals own expression,
Re just bumped himself" The In
dians, taking It to be a mere act Of
bravadO, I presume, made no attempt
to stop him, and within two hours from
the time he started the dog reached the
post. Succor was Immediately sent,
and the brave corporal and his com
rades brought in, the Indians making
| off at the first sight OF the rescue party,
| at the distance of several miles.

Gleason & Fell, dry goods merchants
OF San Francisco, have failed for s2OO, 600.
A communication having been re-
eeived from the Cheyenne agency, in Dakota,
TO the effect that about sixty white men, min
era, are working in the Sioux reservation in
the Black hills, Secretary Delano requests the
war department. to remove all such persons
who may be found trespsssing, that trouble
with the In6ians-may be avoided.
The census of the Indians belonging
to the Red Cloud agency shows 8, $50 OgaIlalla
Sioux and 5000 Arapahoes and Cheyennes,
besides some 600 Ogallallas, who are hunting
on the Republican river and about ], 900 Mem
necorjas and other northern Sioux, who ran
away from the agency rather than be counted.
All these Indians submitted to the census be-
ing taken only under the influence of hunger
and bayOnets. Red Clouds efforts to secure
the census have had the effect Of reducing
the number Of his personal adherents, from
many thousands to barely 900.
The following is an extract from an
official dispatch OF Col Miles It refers to
the girls whose rescue from the Indians was
announced some time ago. During the fight
two white girls were recaptured from the In
dians. 1t appears they are sisters, Adelaide
and Julia German, aged five and seven years
respectively, and were captured in Kansas on
the route from Georgia. To the colonel they
state that their father, mother, brother and
one sister, were murdered, aud that they and
two other sisters were kept prisoners. They
have no positive knowledge OF their where
abouts. Their story of woe and suffering is
amply too horrible to relate. They were al
most naked and nearly starved. They are
now under the charge OF Surgeon Waters, and
receive every care and attention. When strong
enough to endure the journey they win be
forwarded to Leavenworth. I most earnestly
recommend that an ample annual provision be
made for these children by the government
out of the annuity appropriation for the bene-
fit of the Cheyenne Indians.

dressed lots, when in good order, are

to sell dressed chickens hereafter by

Poultry should never be killed by the
wringing of the neck, but should be
killed by bleeding, by means of open
ing the wins, or by cutting off the
head, so as to let them bleed freely.
If the latter be DONE, care should be
taken and draw the skin over the neck
