Subsisting on Potatoes, Salt, and Tea.

A correspondent to the Utica Observ--
Ell writes from Remsen, Oneida county,
to the following effect concerning the
habits Of life persisted in by citizen
of that place, without days deviation,
for a period of about sixty years: "The
individual referred to is maiden lady,
between rs and so years old, and resi-
dent adjacent to this village from her
early childhood. There are differing
theories, and probably for the reason
that but few if any survive who knew
her as child, accounting for her truly
remarkable abstemiousness. Be that as
it may, she has, during the whole time
indicated, partaken of no food or noul--
ishment save roasted potatoes, salt, and
tea, while all the time III the enjoyment
of sound health. Her long life has
been one of activity, industry, and use
fulness. She is a lady of culture and
refinement, and possessing abundant,
means, and is benevolent, discreet, and
liberal in her charities, and though,
owing to the weight of years, she is not
erect in form, she is now, with the ex-
ception of a recent injury resulting in a.
fall, as hale and hearty as is usual to one
of her years.

"How the Feathers Fly.v

A Rev. Mr. Adams of Leominster,
Mass, was an eccentric character. A
neighboring minister, mild, molten
sive man, with whom he was about to
exchange, said to him, knowing the .ex-
treme bluntness of his character:
"You will find some panes of glass
broken III the pulpit window, and
possibly you may suffer from the cold.
The cushion, too, ism bad condition, but
Ibeg Of you not to say anything to- my
people on the subject: they are poor,
etc.
''Oh, MOI oh no,' said Mr.. Adams;
but ere he left home he filled bag
with rags and took it with him.
When he had been in the pulpit
short time, feeling somewhat incommod-
ed by too free circulation of air, he de-
liberately took from the bag
a handful of rags and stuffed
them in the window. Toward the
close Of his discourse, which was more
or less upon the duties of people to-
ward their clergyman, he became
very animated, and purposely brought
down both of his fists with tremen-
dous force upon the pnlpit cushion.
The feathers flew in all directions, and
the cushion was pretty much usedup.
He instantly checked the current of his
thought, and simply exclaiming,
''Why, how these feathers fly" pro-
ceeded with his sermon. He had full
filled his promise of not addressing the
society on the subject, but had taught
thema lesson not to be misunderstood.
On the next Sabbath the window and
cushion were found in excellent repair.

Arsenic i'm the Household.

In its investigation of the extent to
which arsenic is at present employed i'll
domestic and household purposes, the
London Lancet gives the testimony of
DIR. Bolas, who was induced to examine
various samples of green tapers. can
dies, &c, with the view of ascertaining
what coloring matters are used III their
manufacture. OF thirteen specimens,
only one contained arsenic, the majority
being colored with verdigris, and two
samples were tinted with ultramarine
green. The arsenic tapers were of the
kind usually employed in houses for
lighting gas. and one taper, weighing
176S grains, was found to contain 0,276
grains of arsenious acid. Now, consid-
ering the extreme susceptibility of
some persons to the effect of arsenic
especially when the poison enters the
system by the respiratory organs-the
fact is obvious as to the danger of thus
using volatile poison, even though the
quantity be small, for colorlng tapers or
other similar articles intended fol burn
ing IN houses. On examining a sample
of wall paper, DIR. Bolas found that it
contained 27.53 grains of arsenious acid
in a square foot, a very slight attrition
sufficing in this case to detach n
portion and diffuse it through the air
us fine dust.

There dwells in New York city lady
who in all respects seems sane and
sensible woman. She lost, five years
ago, an only daughter of great promise,
seventeen years old, and the idol of the
mother. Since her child's death she
has had the room she used to occupy
cleaned daily and the untouched bed
pulled to pieces and made over. She
sits before a vacant chair at the table
and carefully fills the unused plate, and
spring and fall, buys the newest and
prettiest things for "Addie," giving
away the last years garments "Addie"
having done with them. There is no
appearance Of mental gloom or disorder
about her, yet she carries this vagary
into every act of her life. Riding out,
no one ever sits beside H. i, as that seat
is filled by the imaginary air-drawn
daughter. When seats are taken at a
theater, her husband always get three.
You see the vacant chair between them,
where sh supposes the dead
"Addie" sits and views the per-

it would be serviceabie, and several
days later, [ saw the poor mother
busily braiding cashmere sack for
"Addie." She will speak with all IA
tlonality for hours on all subjects, but
suddenly excuse herself, saying she
must go to ''Addie" for afew moments.
Sitting beside the empty bed Ito which
her daughter was confined for two years
before her death) she clasps an unseen
hand and talks hours together with her
phantom child. 1t is 6. strange case,
but by no means sad one, since her
tender ministration to this viewless
"Addie' makes the mothers heart re-
joice. To ali intents and purposes the
daughter seems to her to be with her
constantly. Her husband contemplates
taking her abroad, and the lady is al
ready packing up "Addie's' things =

perceptiOn of the Blind,

The organ of vision is considered
the most delicate organization OF the
human frame; yet many who were born
blind have been enabled to see by surgic-
al operations, and the following is an in
teresting fact concerning one of that
GLASS;
A youth had become thirteen years
of age, when his eyes were touched by
surgeon. He thought scarlet the
most beautiful color; black was pain
full. He fancied every object touched
him, and he could not distinguish by
sight what he perfectly well knew by
feelins-for instance, the cat and dog.
When his second was touched, he re
marked that the objects were not so
large in appearance to this as the one
opened at first. Pictures he consider
ed only partly colored surfaces, and a
miniature absolutely astonished him
like putting bushel into pint.
Stanley the organist. and many blind
musicians, have been the best perform
ers of their time; and schoolmistress
IN England could discover that the
boys were playing in distant corner of
the room instead ST studying, although
a person using his eyes could not
detect the slightest sound. Professor
Sanderson, who was blind, could, in a
few moments tell how many persons
were in mixed company, and of what
sex. A blind French lady could dance
in figure dances, sewand thread her own
needle. A blind man in Derbyshire,
England, has actually been surveyor and
planner of roads, his ear guiding him as
to the distance as accurately as the eye
to others; and the late Justice Fielding,
who was blind, on walking into room
for the first time after speaking few
words, said: "This room is twenty two
feet long, eighteen wide and twelve
high" all of which was revealed to him
with accuracy through the medium of
the ear. Truly, 1--WE are fearfully and
wonderfully made"

Change of Color in Animals.

Certain animals possess the power of
changing their color at will, or accord
ing to the circumstances in which they
are placed. This is convincingly
shown in some recent experiments made
by Mr. Pouchet, French investigator.
He chose his subject the Palamon
serratus, a species of a prawn or crab.
These prawns, when brought ashore by
the fisherman, have a rose or dark lilly
color: but if they are put into pore lain
vessels with black or white bottoms,
they will will assume colors wholly
unlike. Those in the white dish
become yellowish, almost colorless, as.
if they had just shed their skin those in the
dark colored dish assume a brownish
red hue. If they are changed. the pale.
into the the black vessel, and vice versa,
they again alter their color, III CORE
spondence with their surroundings. The
change of pale one to dark tint was
more rapid than the reverse. Thus, under
favorable circumstances, a yellow, red
or blue Palamon can be created.

Burned to Death i'm His Castle.

A terrible affair occurred lately at
place near Saintes, in Charente Infe-
rieure, where man named Tarin, after
shooting at his father and his brother,
set fire to their barn and burned cattle
and brandy to the value of 30,000f. He
then retired to the house, loopholed the
walls, and prepared to stand a siege.
He had three guns andquantities of adj
munition. Five gendarmes arrived at
full gallop, and Farm killed one and
wounded two. The other two gend-
armes, aided by the peasantry, surroun-
ded the house, reinforcements were tcle-
graphed for, and before long, brigades
of gendarmes arrived from Pons, ST.
Genes, and Saintes, under the com
mand of a captain !; the sub-prefect also
repaired to the scene of action. For 10
hours a force estimated at 1000 strong,
kept up fire on the house, Tarin re-
plying necessarily. Corporal Bouche-
RE exposed himself for moment, and
was shot dead, At last NAVY, and old
volunteered to storm the house,
and he managed to get on the roof and
to pour bucket of flaming petroleum
into the house; while accomplishing
this Tarin wounded him slightly in the
forehead The house was soon in q
blaze. and the assassin persisted in the
flames.

partment of the city by placing in active
service the new steam fire propeller
William II. Havemeyer. The building
of the Havemeyer was ordered by the
commissioners last spring at an expense
of $50, 900, and the contract was award
ed to the well-known- ship builder, Mr..
Henry Steer, who built the famous
steam yacht America, and other swift
sailing vessels of light tonnage. Her
furniture and machinery, both of which
are of the most approved and modern
pattern, are now undergoing the finish
ing touches at Camden, n. J. When
completed in all departments she will
PROCEED to this city where she will
immediately take on her crew. This
twill consist of twelve men. including
her Captain, enc engineer, and one as
sistant engineer. Her pumps are the
same as those used on the street fire
engines but of larger dimensions and
proportionately more powerful, and can
be so arranged as to enable her TO throw
twelve streams of water, which can be
brought to bear on fires, not My among
the shipping and piers, but also .pon
burning buildings a distance of block
away from the river. She will thus ac-
complish the work Of dozen ordinary
fire engines, in addition to the great
service she will render in saving ship
ping by separating vessels from burning
craft or sheds. 1t is probable that the

WhimSicalitieS of Garibaldi.

Garibaldi has made fool of himself
again, and, indeed, Gaping the climax
of his folly. His letters declining the
life pension voted him by the Italian
Parliament are ridiculous and absurd,
and he has now cut himself adrift from
all possible claims to sympathy. Poor
as church mouse, he would, itappears,
rather submit on private charity than
accept what was granted him in recogni-
ton of his services, and as debt due
him by the italian nation. 1t is to be
hoped that no one will hereafter be
coaxed or swindled into contributing
for the support of this wretched old
man who AIMS to be Cincinatus, but
fails most signally. who quarrels with
his bread and and butter, and does not
seem to nave brains enough to go
under shelter when it rains.

CLEVELAND'S GIFT.

Mr.. Case, q wealthy citizen of Cleve-
land Ohio, has virtually presented to that
city amagnificent building and grounds
to be nsed for city Hallan Municipal
purposes. This building, which is just
completed, is built of fine sand stone, is
five stories high, with 217 feet front on
Superior Street, and 100 on Wood
street, the estimated cost being $780,
900. This will give Cleveland one of
the finest city hall buildings in the
country. The owner, one of the
wealthiest citizens, leases the entire
building to the city for % years for an
annual interest of per cent. of the
cost, which will amount to $50, 900, al
least $40, 600 of which the city will OBJ
tain from renting the eight large store
rooms on the ground floor. This gen.
