4 Miraculous Occurrence ut C0hOes,
New York.

For the past week a story has been
current on the street which at first
we could not believe. Mrs. JULIEN
Jerome, Frenchwoman, whom all that
knew her say had always led very de-
vout, good life, lived on Main street,
and was taken sick about five weeks
ago. Immediately after a cross appeared
on the wall beside her bed, which all
efforts cannot obiterate. 1t first APP
peared very small and faint, and scarcely
observable, but by degrees it began to
grow large and appeared palmer. Such
was the story, and yesterday morning
our correspondent visited the house of
the sick woman to ascertain the truth OF
the story. There is no denying it, there
was the cross on the wall, plain and OBJ
servable to all. The wall is not papered
but is whitewashed, and when the cross
first appeared some member of the fam
lily took knife and attempted to scratch
it out of the wall, but to no avail. The
whitewash was daubed over it with the
same result. The women died last even
ing, and your correspondent visited the
house again. he found the mysterious
cross was fading as had the life of the
woman who had just passed away. In
the morning it looked on the white wall
like strong shadow, black and heavy,
but III the evening it was the color OF q
November leaf. We questioned the son
of the deceased woman concerning the
case, and he substantiated the above. He
said that he was continually scratching,
attempting to obliterate that mysterious
reminder of our Savior's death. True it
is, the print of knife was on the plaster,
having worn it off about n quarter of an
inch while attempting to destroy the
figure. When asked why he did not give
it publicity, the son said he thought if
he did his house would be crowded all
the while, annoying his sick mother (now
dead). He also said that he told only
his immediate friends of it, but some
how it began to leak out from thom. The
above may be thought by some a ro-
nance, but it is plain, undeniable
fact.-Cohoes Cor. Troy Press.

The Piutes in Nevada.

Although the Piutes III some places in
the States are in starving condition,
those living in the hills surrounding this
city are about as wen fed as any people
on the face of the globe. They are all
fat, ragged and saucy. Not so ragged,
however, as Indians generally are, for
the majority of the men are dressed in
clothing In which not hole or rent is to
be seen. Some of the old squaws are ex-
ceedingly filthy and ragged, and the ma
jority of the females, old and young, are
exceedingly slatternly. It is curious
fact that, among the Piutes, the men
alone appear to feel any pride in dress.
They are generally somewhat iaunty, but
the women DO not care what they wear,
nor in what shape their clothing is worn.
a Piute squaw-even though she be the
belle of her tlibe-thinks nothing of
marching through a crowded street with
a tin kettle ON her head and huge soup
bone in herdexter " ripper" Why the
Indians here do not send word to their
starving brethren that lashins =" of
broken victuals are to be had along the
Comstock range, is more than we know.
Were the starving Indians to come in
and properly distribute themselves about
the towns of the State they would be
"wintered over in good shape on the
cold "grub that is now thrown away

Useful Hints for the Home Circle.

To RUB paint off window-glass, take
copper cent, dip it in saleratus made
into paste with water, and rub 1T on
the stain until it is removed.
A GOOD substitute for ink is thus made:
Put couple of rusty nails into tea
spoonful of vinegar. In half an hour
add teaspoonful of very strong tea.
To MAKE starch from potatoes, peel
and CRATE them into a basin OF cold
water; let stand one night stir up and
strain through coarse cloth let the
water settle, then pour it off, and the
the starch will be found in the bottom
of the basin dry it, and it will be
ready for use.
To POLISH tins first rub them with a
damp cloth; then take dry flour and rub
1t on them with your hands afterward
take an old newspaper and rub the flour
off, and the tins will shine as well as if
half an hour had been spent in rubbing
them with brick dust, which spoils the
hands.
COUGHING can sometimes be stopped
by pressing on the nerves of the lip in
the neighborhood of the nose A press
IRE there will almost certainly prevent
cough when it is beginning 1t is
generally known that sneezing may be
stopped by this plan, but it is new to
many that 1t can check coughing. Press
/ ing right in front OF the ear may also
stop coughing. 1t is also preventive
Of hiccough, but much less so than of
sneezing or coughing.
MANY pretty little blossoms of bulbs
and violets, primroses, and other flowers
having short stalks, will keep fresh for
long time if each flower be stuck
into a saucer or plate of wet sand.
The great advantage of the sand over
water used in the usual way, is that
each bloom remains in its place just
where fixed. 1t is a good idea to keep
a flat glass dish filled as stated above,
on the sideboard, and as the flowers
decay, remove them, and stick III few
more in their places.
Snow may be so compressed as to make
it as easy 90 keep as block of ice
from naturally frozen water. The plan
has been tried in Germany with great
success. The snow, over which little
water has been poured, is placed in a
chest made of stout planks, fastened
together with strong iron hinges Press
IRE being applied, the water congeals
into ice, and, freezing, binds to-
gether the separate fragments of snow
already brought into close contact by
/ the pressure. The hinges of the chest
are then loosened, and the block taken

The Minerals Of the World.

The aggregate value of all the minerals
mined in the whole world amount at
present to $1,000, 900 per year of
this coal alone is worth nearl Y two-thirds,
say 1866, 900. 900 the rest one-third, or
about 1898, 100000 Gold stands at the
head of the list, the value of this metal
mined per year being about 800, 000,-
600 /; next iron ore, being at present
1000, 600; but of no mineral is the
production so largely increasing as that
of iron, and it will soon surpass i'll value
that of gold. 1t has increased during
the last seven years from Is to %. while
the coal has increased from Is to %, and
gold remained about as il was. The pro-
duction of steel increased from Is TO "a,
proving the progress of industry in gen
eral in which steel is the main agent.

With limbs at rest ON the green earth's ureast
In a solemn wood and deep,
A proud form lay through summers day,
In mood 10 dream and sleep;
A streamlet slow in the brake below
Went sadly wailing on,
With murmurs wild like gentle child
That seeketh something gone.
The dreamer rose from his vain repose,
With stern and sullon look,
And the storm of his wrath came bitterly fofth,
As he cursed the simple brook
Thy murInurs deep disturb my sleep,
BE still. thou streamlet boarse
Small right hast thou of voice, trow,
To tell thy foolish course.
The waters stirred for a spirit heard
The spirit of the stream
And voice replied with a breath that signed,
Like the breath of broken dream:
sIf the sleeper fear my wall % hear
Let him stir each rocky stone
Whose cruel force impedes my course,
And makes my waters moan.
Oft in my heart strange fancies start
And a voice with plaintive wall
Sings, sadly sings, that earthly things
Shadow IN such tale;
That wealth and birth on Gods free earth
Oft curse the noise of strife
Which poor men make, as they seem to break
Through the rugged stones Of life.

THE NEW YORK MASS MEETING.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Uupon taking
the chair, Mr.. Bryant said: When we
read the news Of revolutions in Spain,
we rejoice that such proceedings are
unknown here; but now we are aston
ished that Gen. Sheridan had occupied
the hall of the Legislature at New Or
leans, and thrust Conservative members
into the street. Such proceedings
might do for Spain, but not for this
country. Wemanage things differently
here, and, by Gods help, would con-
tlnue to. We have u constitution
which forbids Presidents intermeddling
with State affairs, unless to save the
State from invasion, or upon appiica-
ton of the Legislature or Governor,
when the Legislature is not convened,
to protect the State against domestic
violence. What authority is there in
these provisions for the President to set
himself up as judge of elections, and
drag from legislative chambers those
who he chooses to regard as having no
right to their seats? He should have
left this to the courts. He might as
we'll, if he was a candidate for Il third
term, send his niniOnS to dispense the
electoral colleges in those States which
refused him their votes; might as well
send another Sheridan to pull the gen.
tleman whom we have just elected
Governor of this State out Of the Execu-
tive chair. He might with just as good
II warrant dispense this meeting by

was nonsense to say that the expulsion

AT THE CAPITAL.

The situation in New Orleans has not
materially changed since our issue of
last week. The Conservatives of both
branches of the legislature, without an
exception, persist in repnd;ating the
Kellogg assembly, which gathering as
stoutly persists, it seems, in lesislating
for the State, Notwithstanding there
has never been legal quorum in the
House over which Hahn presides, and
cannot be so long as the Conservatives
refuse to participate. fumors of an
arrangementof the differences existing,
have not been lacking,-one to the
effect that the Radicals propose to re-
cognize the Witt House, provided the
Conservatives would leave the Senate
as it stands,-but there does not appear
to be any likelihood of an adjustment,
short of the unconditional recognition
of the Wilt House by the Republicans.
A survey of the entire field of discus
| sion and of the probable contingencies
does not warrant US in expecting ter
mination of the dispute, without the
interposition of Congress, and it is this
that our Radical oppressers are endeav-
oring to secure, either in the shape of
an explicit endorsement of the Sheri-
dan-Kellogg outrage, or in the ordering
of a new election.
We regret to see that the Conserva-
tives have not made any progress in
converting their Radical opponents to
the cause of honest government,
although some of the Radical legislators
are known to be penitent and are only
waiting for IL helping hand to lift them
above the doubts and sins of the party
to which they belong. Why not offer
these penitents Il little balm?
