Joseph and Mrs. POtlphar.


This famous legend is still found
among the Egyptians Of to-day, but
in a somewhat different form than
that of the Biblical narrative. NJ. De
Lesseps, the distinguished engineer
and savaDt, who has resided much in
the East, gives this as the Egyptian
tradition:
Potiphar was not a tender hearted
man. He imprisoned his wife, as
also Joseph, although the lady and
Joseph asserted their innocence. The
Judge ordered an inquiry, and the
wife of Potiphar, in her defense, urged
that her passion for Joseph had been
awakened by his personal beauty,
which she declared no woman pos
sibly could resist. Others, she said
would have done az she had, an asser-
ton she was invited to prove. On
being at liberty, she invited a num-
Der of her female friends to meet at
her house, without informing them
of the purpose for which they had as
sembled. To each guest an orange
and a silver knife were given and
they were requested not to cut their
oranges until the lady Of the house
udu given lu6m tue slgu udl 80 70 UOt OJ
pronOuneing the word ''Now." The
ladies, with their orange In one hand
and their knife in the other. were
gazing with surprise at their hostess,
when suddenly the door opened and
Joseph made his appearance standing
on the threshold. "Now," cried the
wife of Potiphar, but her guests cap
tivated by the beauty of the Hebrew,
paid no attention TO what they were
doing, and, consequently, cut their
fingers. The party was called before
the Judge on the following morning;
every one of the ladies, save one, had
her wounded finger in the folds of her
garment, while the one whose hand
was unhurt declared that she had es-
capped the common fate by throwing
her knife away the moment she saw
Joseph; and, on being further pressed
with questions, declared that had she
not thrown her knife away, sne
should have stabbed herself to the
heart, because she could not bear e
look upon the Hebrew and know thai
she could never possess him as a hus
band.
The Tiffin tribune. (Tiffin, Ohio) 1868-1887, 1876-02-17

On Jan. IIth, the case of Miss Ern-
estine Hauser came on before the
Civil Court of Breisach. Grand Duchy
of Baden. Miss Hauser is the young
lady who stated to her parents and
her physician that several priests bad
induced her to weara tight rope round
her loins as a sure means Of pleasing
the Deity. When on the brink Of the
grave by this constant torture, an at
tempt was made to cup her feet and
produce stigmata. The skin being
filled with blood owing to the pres
sure exercised by the rope, this cup
ping, according to medical opinion,
would be sure to produce prolonged
bleeding. One OF the two priests con-
eerned in this affair, and mentioned
by the young lady in her la:e confess
ions, brought an action for libel against
the physician who had published the
story. The action, however, was
Withdrawn previous to trial. A little
later the other priest sued the girl for
telling the physician falsehoOds at his
expense. The case was tried, and
ended in the aequittal Of the young
lady. During the trial counsel for the
Crown expressed regret that the
priests could not be prosecuted with
out the consent of the young lady,
which he had failed to obtain.

and you will remember the excite
ment those produced and the Gen.
I serious publication which was uttered
| against me because / WOul5 not visit
: on helpless prisoners in our hands
slch barbarities as, according to re-
I ports, had been inflicted on our men.
! Imprisonment is hard lot at best,
and prisoners are prone to exaggerate
their suffs-ings, and such was
I probably the case on both sides; but
We did not seek by report OF commit
tees, with Photographic illustrations,
I to intiame the passions OF our people.
I How was it with orr enemy? Let
one example suffice. You may re-
member s published report Of
a committee Of the United States
/ Congress which was sent 10 Annapolis
to visit some exchange prisoners, and
which had appended tn it photo
graphs of some Of the emaciated sub
jects which were offered as samples
OF the prisoners returned from the
South. When a copy of that report
was received, sent it to Colonel Ould
Com missioner OF the Exchange Of
Prisoners, and learned, as l anticipst-
ed, that the photographs had been
taken from men who were in the
hospitals when they were liberated
for exchange, and whom the hospital
surgeon regarded as eonvaleseent, but
too weak TO be removed with safety
to themselves. The anxiety of the
prisoners. to be sent to their homes
had prevailed over the objections of
the surgeon. But this Is not all, for
have recently learned from a priest
who was then at Annapolis that the
most wretehed looking ofthese phoLo-
graphs was taken from 8 man who
had never been q prisoner, but who
had been left on the sick list at An
napolis when the eomtnand to which
he was attached had passed through
that place on its southwark march.
Whatever may be said in extenuatiOn
OF such impOsture because OF the eXi-
gencies of war, there can be no such
excuse now for the attempt Of Mr..
Blaine, by gross misrepresentation
and slanderous accusations, to revive
the worst passions of war, and it Is to
be hoped that, much as it is to be re-
gretted, it will have the good effect Of
ev0king truthful statements in regard
to this little understood subject from
men who would have preferred to
leave their sorrowful story untold if
the subject could have been peace
