InfantiIe Invention.

Some years ago the famous "Skittles,
less famous as Miss Walters, being met
at Lords Cricket Ground with a little
girl of ten, and asked where the child
came from, responded, This is little
Eugenia Plummer, and ] am the lady
the Queen has appointed to take charge
Of her" Little Eugenia Plummer was
at the time quite as much as Skittles the
talk of the town. She had laid grave
charges against a jail chaplain, who was
brought tO trial and apparently on the
verge Of disgrace for life, when it came
to light that little Eugenia had only been
drawing for her facts on an Imagination
Public ledger. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1865-1893, 1875-10-07

Of frightful fertility. She was in her
turn put on trial and convicted, but on
account of her tender years and respect
able connections it was arranged that
she should be placed, to mend her ways,
in the charge of some lady whom the
Queen, through the Home Secretary,
should approve. There is no evidence
but the unsupported testimony of Miss
Walters that the trust was con6ded to
her, and the story is only mentioned to
introduce another similar case of infan-
tile invention that has recently been re-
ported from Cambray, France. A little
girl who had mysteriously disappeared
reappeared almost. as mysteriously, dt
lapidated and bruised, and told won
derful story Of her adventures in
the interval. She had, she said, been
playing on the glacis with her
dog when man seized her and
placed her in a carriage, where was
another man aud several children, some
of whom she recognized. A bottle was
placed at her lips, and she was compelled
to swallow its contents, which produced
ieellnR Ol urOmSlneBb. one SLlll naQ
the chain of her dog in her hand, and
that faithful animal pulled so vigorously
thereat that he hauled her out Of the
carriage, which, drove of hurriedly. The
men, she stated, seemed.to be acrobats.
The police we're promptly sent for, aud
as promptly elucidated the mystery. The
girl had got hold of bottle of brandy,
and after giving her brother a glass, had
slipped enough to make herself drunk,
had gone to the glacis and fallen asleep,
had received her bruises from tumble,
and on her return had invented the whole
circumstantial story. Cincinnati was
some time ago excited by some as start
ling, inventions of young boy, and sim
liar asseverations elsewhere have often
sufiiced to make worthy people very un-
comfortable Without doubt enormous
lying, even without motive, is a vice in
which some children are appallingly and
precociously proficient, aud considera-
Bile caution should always be exercised
in accepting unsupported testimony OF
surprising character from those of tender
years.

Pompeii, that beautiful and ill-fated
city, buried underneath the shower of
ashes, pumice and stones cast forth
from Vesuvius, A. D. 70, and first redis-
covered in l649, and now ruin of world
wide interest, is said to have derived its
name from the word pompe, with refer
ence to the pomp with which Hercules,
its founder, celebrated his victories.
The irescoes, which have outlived 1863
years concealment, are brilliant yet in
the forum and temples. The art OF
frescoe painting is still with US in prac-
tice, but the records of q medium OF
preservation 80 durable as to withstand
the fire and damp of centuries is lost
with the people, cunning and rich,
whose hands wrought the beauties of
Pompeii. In the houses of this excava-
ted city the dining hall is always found
most beautifully decorated. In these
noble rooms the Romans recined at
feasts, at which small fortunes we're ex-
pended.
1t is said Of Lueullus that once, wish
ing to deceive Pompey or Cicero when
they insisted upon dining with him en-
famille, he simply sent word home that
he would dine in the room called "the
Apollo" where he never gave a supper
for less than sum amounting to $4,000
Of our money. In the hours Of Scaurus
the most marvelously rich frescoes
adorned its walls, and lamps of bronze
gave brilliant light The tables were of
citron wood, resting on ivory feet, and
we're covered with a plateau of solid
silver, chased and carved, weighing FIVE
hundred pounds. The three couches
were of bronze, overlaid with ornaments
Of silver, gold and tortoise shell; the
feather cushions were of stuff of gold
and silver threads.
PliDy says of the tables OF citron wood
that they we're made of the roots and
knots, and priced for their veins and
marks, which resembled tigers skin or
peacock's tail. In further description
Of this dining hall of Scaurus, in Pom
peii, it is stated that the floor was FIN
ishe6 in mosaics representing the frag-
ments of feast as though just fallen
from the table-hence it was called the
unswept saloon.

servants I'm india.

All the Year Round.

All the Year Round.l
Indian housekeeping is at once very
simple and paradoxically complex. The
fact that all servants are on board wages,
from the moonshee, who takes tempo
rary engagement as secretary or tutor,
down to the humblest puhka, wallah or
grass cutter, renders it comparatively
easy for a master to know his expenses.
But then there is something bewildering
in the subdivision Of labor, in having to
harbor tailors and cobblers, washermen
and watchmen, and florists and sweepers
1t is perplexing that every servant so
well knows his or her place that palki
bearer would scorn to fetch a pitcher OF
water; that hereditary poultry keepers
attend the hens, hereditary grooms the
horses, and that not meal can be
cooked or carpet spread except by the
agency Of somebody whose caste points
him out as the appropriate person to
perform the duty.
An English resident also is apt to be
puzzled by the habit of the native do
mestics, strange to our notions, of col
lecting around them clan of relatives,
old and young, more or less dependent
for sustenance on the monthly wages of
the bread winner. These followers"
like Others of their plastic race, are by
no means obtrusive, and are content to
be tucked away in sheds and huts, or
to lie about the passages of some ram
bling villa while a pipkin OF grain and
spoonful of ghee comprises, with lit
tie cloth, their few wants. Servants in
India have two merits to counterbalance
such faults as are inherent in race re-
markable for the subtle ingenuity with
which, on occasion, it can cheat and lie.
They are grateful, not merely for excep-
tional kindness bat for the bread and
salt that they have eaten, and breach of
trust is abhorrent to even the elastic
conscience OF Hindoo, SO that the very
man who takes the lead in plundering
the Sahibs storeroom, When pitting his
wits against the duller fancy Of his em.
ployer may be berendered honest by being
appointed dragon or ordinary over the
treasures it contains.

The recent tremendous freshets which have
flooded some Of the most fertile low lands Of
the United States. have not only caused wide
spread ruin and disaster, but have, as might
have been expected, been followed BY an un-
precedanted ou,erop Of fever and aguo, bilious
remittents, and other diseases Of malarial
type. The suns RAYS. acting upon the satu-
rated vegetation and isolated pools left by the
retiring waters, have exhaled far-reaching
miasma, which is pregnant with disease.
The most reliable safeguard againstit is found

ent demand for which. more particularly in
the West and Southwest, where the foods
have been most severe. exceeds any which

Any ono investing in these Bonds has the
satisfaction Of knowing that his bond is GER
tain to be paid az maturity; and further that
he assists in building in the city of New York
u permanent Temple Of Industry, which will
be an ornament and pride to every Ameri-
can.
Each Bondholder. until his bond is re-
deemed, is a part owner Of twenty. two acres
OF land situated in the heart Of the city OF
New York, and estimated to be worth Two
Million -Four Hundred Thousand Dollars.
And thy building which is estimated to cost
seven Millions,
The excavations for the foundation was
commenced on the 10th of May. 1875, and the
building will bo ready TO receive the goods
from the Centennial Exhibition at its close.
No investment for people Of small means
was ever offered equaling the Bonds Of the In
dustrial Exhibition GO. The bonds are SO.
cured by mortgage which makes the principal
safe, and eminently secure, and in addition TO
which each bondholder participates four times
a year, in the allotment of premiums above
named.
The difference between these bonds and a
lottery ticket is. In lottery the holder must
lose his money or draw a prize, while the
holder Of an Industrial Exhibition Bond cam
not lose his investment. but must have re-
turned to him the principal and a small rate
of interest added, and in addition has an op-
portunity to draw a premium ranging from
$50 10 100000.
The Board Of Directors and the Trustees Of
the mortgagage are among the most eminent
Of the business men Of New York, and is OF
