THE DIsCOTERY OF a EONG lost
PAINTING. -

New Orleans F1cayune.
Incredible sit may appear, there has
been discovered here in our city of New
Orleans, ." The Last Supper" La Piece
DIES Pieds, picture painted by the great
italian master, Raphael, shortly before
his death, which occurred in the year
1920. Seven years. Subsequent to this
date the city of Rome was sacked by the
SpaniardB and simultaneously to the
sackng. the painting disappeared. 1t
was believed the picture had been carried
into Spain, and that the captors had no
knowledge of its authorship. Later on,
the work found its way hither, when
Louisiana was a possession of the Spanish
crown. It has perhaps lain here until
its late discovery by the fortunate owner,
Mr.. C. J. OrHara, No. ff9 -earondolet
street. s4.as - assS--s--,S
The Count de Turenne, who was here
few weeks ago, saw the picture and pro-
nounced it genuine. He is said to be in
treaty for it's purchase by the French
government.
The painting had been rudely cut from
its original frame and adjusted to one Of
smaller capacity. fold in this way was
made to extend itself all around the mar
gin. Under this was found Raphael's
own monogram. This and other. proofs
of antiquity and genuineness, as we'll as
the work itself, may be seen by the curl
GUS at Mr.. O'Hara's office. @

In, view of the frantic Efforts of senator
Morton, Ben Butler and other incendiary
and communistic American citizens to
convince the people OF the north that
"the rebellion still rears its head," and
that 1t is.necessary to g rapy round the
flag =" and inaugurate another civil war,
q brief reference to the address of the
Union Republican congressional commit
tee to the people Of the y nited States, in
July, 1871, is Interesting. That address
sets forth what great things the republi-
can party had performed for this coun-
try, and how necessary it was to perpet-
uate its power AS the republican party
wasss badly whipped at the ensuing
elections, it can not be said that the
people Endorsed this bombastic radical
enusion. But as an assertion of RADICAL
ism, Morton, Butler and the rest might
study with profit. during the intervals Of

Shiek, Burns, and other points along the
western end of the Winona and st. Peter

tanned a working size, and have began to
harvest the crop. At present their oper-
ations are confined to a strip of country
extending from Burns station to Sarato..

tory of fifty miles in length and reaching
in breadth from a line some eight miles
north of the Winona and st. Peter rail-

Miss FRANCES POWER CoBBE is warm
ing up Jehn Brshfs ears az his recent
speech against woman's suffrage. She
acknowledges that jures usually award
handsome verdictsSer breaches Of promise
but explains it by saying that "mascu-
line judges and juries are cold enough
when woman loses her property. her
limbs, or even her life, but when she
loses man their sympathy and sense
of indignation at her wrong is TO the last
degree affecting and instructive" This
is cunning impeachment of masculine
vanity, but it is not sufficient to explain
the result.

MEXICAN who claimed to be a snake
charmer recently attempted the capture of a
large rattiesnake near Corpus Christi, Texas.
As the snake lay coiled up, the Mexican
made grab at his neck, but caught the rep
tile too far back, the snake turning his head
and fastening his fang in the second joint of
the forefnger, from which he dangled until
shaken loose by the performer. Simple rem
edies we're used at once, but the finger con-
tinued to infiame and the flesh to drop off, un-
til amputation became necessary to save the

Il HOWL FOR NATIVE FODDER.
From the Nashville American.


A realization of the perhaps not remote
possibility that the reins of government
may be slipping from the clutch of re-
pvblicanism, seems to be more than the
indianapolis Journal can bear without
displaying a very ugly temper. To be
summarily jerked from the treasury teat,
is calculated to disturb, the equanimity
of the sweetest tempered of republican
pap7suckers. The, Indianapolis paper
can't contain itself for its disgust that

the audacity to participate in the inves-
tigation - of ; radical -snesk-thicvery.

SO to heart, that the work of publication

seems to threaten such consummation

in the national congress. And so on to
the end of the chapter. What the union
congressional committee means by "res-
toration of the Union" is that political
condition where no men of southern
birth will venture to seek participation
in national affairs, and will refrain from
voting the democratic ticket. Radicalism
certainly has some sublimely onesided
patriotic features.

of the death of young Maharajah OF Put

prince killed himself by drink. For
some time he has lived in constant

cAxDY rs 4 CAUSE OF IMpAIRED !
SIGHT.


DIR. E.. Cutler suggests, in an article
printed in the Boston journal of Chem
istry, that-a free consumption of candy
may be a partial cause Of the impaired
eyesight, which prevails TO IAN alatming
extent among the children of the present,
generation. He cites the statement of
DR.. c. r. Agnew, that cut ofeone thou
sand children under the age of eighteen,
attending certain school in New York
city, seven hundred and three were
found, on examinations with the ophthal-
moscope, 10 have defective organs of Wis
ion. This large percentage was assumed
to represent the common average of de-
fective eyes among young people. AS it
is confirmed fact that q teaspoonful of
saturated solution of sugar, injected
beneath the skin of frog or Guinea pig,
will produce blindness in half an -four,
DIR. Cutler profiers the query, il it be
not reasonable to suppts, that sugar
takep,into the human system in -undue
quantities, may injuriously affect the
eyesight. Sugar is wanting in nutritive
qualities. In tests applied to dogs, it
has been found that death resulted in
forty days from an exclusive diet of SUI
gar, while the eyes of animals subjected
to the experiment, liberated and dropped
out. The starch which forms so large an
element of white -four issidenticaf in its
formula with sugar and, as this consti-
tutes Z. chief article of food in most
