Needlework in the Exhibition.

Mary S. Riley, of Louisville, Kentucky,
makes one of the most interesting and
wonderful exhibits in the entire c0llec-
ton. 1t consists of admirable portraits of
individuals, taken either by embroidering
in silk or by working in worsted. Not
withstanding the apparently insuperable
difficulties in this process in the way OF
securing delicate shading with such
cumbrous and unmanageable materials,
the artist has succeeded in several in
stances i'm producing work in black and
white which at little distance cannot
be distinguished from etching. The work
in different colors is also wonderful, but
is nothing to compare in fidelity and
sharpness of outline with the work in
black and white. by means of simply
stitching, black and white silk on white
ground the artist has succeeding in pro-
ducing admirable portraits of Hon. w. f..
Gladstone and John Bright, and of
James Bridgeford, of Louisville, Ky. She
has wrought in wOrsted pictures OF
Queen Victoria, Prince Albert, the
Prince and Princes of Wales, and the
Princess Royal of England, now Crown
Princess of Germany. But the most
ambitious and the most interesting piece
in the collection is Il picture in worsted.

ground in his armor, with his charger
near by and his knights surrounding
him. Queen Mary is bending over with
q look of anxious solicitude, and a monk
near by holds cross 10 his (Douglas's,
lips. Above him spread the boughs of @
large oak. and in the distance may be
seen the smoke of battle. The success
which the artist has achieved in blending
colors and in shading is really wonder
full. The deep green foliage of the trees
the rich velvet and silken garments o
the knights and ladies, the bright trap
ping of the horses-even the deathly
pallor and expression of agony on Doug

Hermann In Market.

Hermann, the necrOmancer, is great
on the stage, with all his apparatus
around him, as those who have seen him
know. And he is also great in his
sleight-Of-hand tricks off the stage, sur
rounded by close watchers of his every
movement. His card tricks, in forcing,
palming, and shifting, seem incredible.
He has extraordinary muscular develop
ments of the hands and forearms. He
can take full deck of cards in his
hands,. and, holding them square, tear
them i'm two. This with the best and
strongest cards made. And he can even
take the halves and tear them into quar-
ters. There are probably few men living
capable of this.
Accompanied by a number of report
ers and personal friends, Hermann yes
terday morning made trip through
Sixth street market several squares.
He occasionally halted to astonish the
huckstcrs and their customers and to
amuse his companions. His first stop
was at q stand where live pigeons were
for sale. He priced one, which the
dealer took out of its box and offered to
him for twenty cents. Hermann, after
some talk, deliberately twisted off the
birds head, or appeared TO do 50, and
laid it down on the stand, to the great
astonishment of the gaping crowd. The
observers had hardly chance 10 grow
indignant at this unnecessary cruelty
when he screwed the head on again and
the next instant the bird was at liberty,
flying away, happy. Hermann paid for
the pigeon and passed OH.

J.C. ALEXANDER writes from Bowling
Green, KY, to the Louisville Courier
Journal: In the article published i'm
the Weekly Cowier-Jomnal, recently, on
the cultivation of tobacco by two Daviess-
county boys, there is one point upon
which beg leave to differ with them.
They tell the inquirer that he can cult
vatc five acres of tobacco and attend to
other crops. 1t is entirely too much.
Two and half or three acres at the out
side is as much as any man can cultivate
properly. Our tobacco market is ruined
now by glut of trash tobacco, produced
by over cropping. There is more money
to the farmer who cultivates one acre of
tobacco and gets one thousand pounds,
than TO the one who cultivates two acres
and gets fifteen hundred pounds. or like
proportion.

Most medicines which are advertised as
blood purifiers aud liver medicines contain
either mercury, i'm some form, or potassium
and iodine variously combined. All of these
agents have strong tendency to break down
the blood corpuscles, and debilitate and
otherwise permanently iDjure the human
system, and should therefore be discarded.
DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, on
the other hand, being composed of the fluid
extracts of native plants, barks and roots,
will in no case produce injury, its effects
being strengthening aud curative only. Sar.
saparilla, which used TO enjoy quite repu.
tation as blood purifier, is n remedy OF
thirty years ago, and may well give place,

able vegetable alternatives which later med'

A Hajrdresser's Dummy.

Owing to the hue and cry which has
been raised about diseases contracted by
wearing hair cut from corpses, the ladies
at Paris refuse to purchase any hair un.
less from the head of the living, and
they insist on being present at the
shearing. So the hairdresser brings to
his shop, at great expense, "a beautiful
peasant from Brittany, in her national
costume. He takes off her character
istic cap; she sheds few tears when the
cruel scissors do their work, aud still
more when the fastidious purchaser
receives splendid braid-which has
been in the store for n long time, but
has been adroitly fastened, for the occa-
sion, on the head Of the girl who gcner'
ally has never been outside of Paris.
