Congress his undying opposition to the
doctrine that United States troops could
be sent into States to suppress disorder

A SALAMANDER LIZARD.

We have always considered the popu-
lar mythical legend or deluSon in re-
gard to the salamander'S being able TO
90 through fire unscathed as one of the
most prepo5terous OF mythical delu-
sions. A gentleman of this city, how
ever, recently related to us a story in re-
gard to the lizards.of Nevada, which
seems to confirm the possibility of their
enuufing intense heal for short time,
at least.
The black lizards of that sagebrush
State are very easily domes icated,
harmless, sociable and intelligent. This
gentleman had several pet lizards, one
of which lived near furnace where he
burned retorts or molds for silver bull
ion. This work required u very hot fire,
which he had made open at each end.
The Zard would sit on the tree near by
Watching him, and his dog would fire.
ouently chase it if it Ventured to the
ground aud compel it TO take 10 the tree
again.
Frequently, however, the liz trd, ap-
parenLly for the sport of the thing alone,
would dash down from the tree and in-
duce the dog to give IL a sharp race,
when it would run right through The lur-
mace, coming out of the other end like a
flash, unscathed, while the dog in his
eagerness, would be burnt at the ire be-
fore he could stop. This would be a
daily occurrence, ana the lizard actually
seemed to enjoy the joke on the dog.
The time that the lizard or salamander
was in the fire was very short, and 1t
doubtless could not have remained
there very long Maysville (Cal.) Ap.

A STREET-C4R MYSTERY,

There were five passengers on WOOD
ward avenue car yesterday-four wo-
men and man. The man was long
bodied and his eyes had a squlnt, but
yet no one suspected him OF being a
tend. 1t so happened that one OF the
women sneeZed, and the man MADE a
dive under u paper parcel on the seat,
and then held up a glass eye between
his thumb and finger.
"Who sneez4d her glass eye outW he
blandly inquired as he looked from one
to the other.
There was Gn awful silence. The
women turned red or pale, and cast SLY
glanoes at each other and then at the
false eye.
(which one of you sneezedW softly
inquired the man, while he held the eye
half way across the aisle.
81 didn't" replied one, and in min
ute all denied the act.
"Well, nave TWO natural eyes, as you
can all see," continued the man, and of
course had no use Tor this. 1t seems
to me that the owner should claim it, as
she may find it very difficult to procure
another as good. l will leave il on the
cushion and turn my back to all OF you.'
"And l will leave the carp exclaimed
one OF the women as she pulled the
strap. They were all of the same mind,
and as they walked away from eacn
other each one looked back and musedi
81 wonder why on earth she didn't
clam up Detroit Free Press.

STONEWALL JACKSON'S SISTER.

The Cleveland Leader prints the fol-
lowing in relation to Gen. Stonewall
Jackson and his sister, the statement
being derived from lady who was, pre-
yious to the war, an inmate of the lat
ters family: "rhey were orphan chill
dren, and were brought up toge lher until
be went to West Point. Like most orphan
children they were unusually attached to
each other. At later time she married
and settled in Beverly, where her hus-
band carried on large farm or planta-
ton. Her brother, the General, fire.
uuently visited her, and during these
visits he would invariably 60 to the
quarters of the slaves for the purpose of
sxhorting them on the subject Of religion.
Frequently this great soldier would be
seen on his knees in the midst of the
loWIy children of Africa otf4ring earnes t
PRAYERS for their salvation. When the
war broke out this singular difference
between the affectionate brother and
sister transpired: One espoused the
cause of the South and became the
greatest of all Confederate Generals,
with worldwide reputation for con-
summate military ability, and lald down
his Lie on the bloody field OF Chancel-
lorsville. The sister, in spite OF the op-
position of her brother, uninfluenced by
mis- brilliant achievements ana the oppO-
sition OF her husband and her relatives,
sided with the cause OF the Union and
remained true to that cause TO the end
of the war. So great was the feeling en-.
gendered against her that she eventually
separated from her husband and moved
to Springfield, Ohio, and resided with q
daughter who had married a Union
officer"

DR.. Rowland and his remedies have long
since been entirely forgotten.
After there had been much talk about
the eficacy of blue glass and General
Pleasanton's experiments, an old physt-
cian of Cincinnati WAS reminded of the
Rowland remedies, and searching among
his relics found one of the walls in which
the powder was sent out, and brought it
labels and all to this office. 1t is prob
able that Gen. Peasanton stumbled
upon some accounts OF DR.. Row.
LANDS cures. examined the question,
and was convinced that there was
something in the theory. He impro yes
upon the plan of Dr.. Rowland by trans
mitting the power OF the b,ue ray, il
there be any, directly to the patient
instead of medtcating powder by
means of it and then giving the powder.
The fact that not word Of reference
has been made to the old Rowland eX-
element siuce Gen. Pleasanton started
the recent blue glass fever is an evil
dence of how completely even the recol-
lection of such matters pass away.

THE sympathies Of Americans and OF
all other people who love civilization
and desire the advancement of the BAN
ner of free religion and human rights
will be with Russia in her contest with
barbarous Turkey. The friendly feel
ing, which in any event would have
been with Russia in such a struggle as
this, is greatly increased by the con-
tinuous efforts her representatives made
to secure to the Provinces, without re.
sort to arms, the rights to which they

manity, and which are stipulated to
them by the treaties between Turkey
and the Christian Powers OF Europe.

BLUE GLASS PREVIOUS TO PLEAS.

Medicinal virtues were claimed for
the blue ray long before Gen. Pleasan-
ton started the present blue-glass ex.
citement. Nearly thirty years ago DR..
Rowland, of New York, created some
thing of sensation in the medical
world by announcing wonderful cures
by means OF powders medicated by be-
ing placed in the sun under blue glass.
These powders, which contained no
medicinal properties whatever, were
placed for certain period where the
rays of the sun could fall upon them
through the blue glass, after which it
was claimed that they were the most
efficaclous remedy ever tried tor all dis.
eases which affected the human system
through the nerves. DR.. Rowland
claimed to have made great cures in
cases of neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headache and kindred ailments, and pro-
duced any number OF certificates from
the leading people in New York. His
theory was discussed pro and con. by
the medical profession, and it found
many believers among the scientific mer
of that time. The medicated powder
was put up in vials and sold to sucf
physicians as would experiment with
it, and was given in many cases even In
this city. Finely like other excite
