Blue-GlasS Miracles.

In Providence blue glass is working
well. A bookkeeper who had been tor
tured with rheumatism for several years
inserted six panes of blue glass in his
office windows, exposed his foot, arm,
and shoulder to the light, and within
forty-eight hours was cured. An elderly
lady, whose left knee, ankle and foot
were swollen to twice their natural size,
bathed in blue light, and in three-quar-
tiers Of an hour the soreness and indam-
nation disappeared. An old gentleman
whose right foot has been useless for a
year is slowly recovering behind three
mazarine panes. The wife of promi-
nent manufacturer, who has been afflicted
with paralysis and unable to walk for
three years, was carried down stairs
and immersed in blue light. In the
course of an hour or two the family be-
low were startled by sounds overhead,
and on entering the parlor what was
their astonishment to find that she
had risen from her chair and
walked across the floor. Strength had
returned to her limbs, she was able to
move her arms, and Immediately mere
dulity in the efficacy of blue glass was
banished from that house.

An Alabama Jury's Astonishing Yer.
dict.

A jury in Alabama had been impan-
eled in the case of Mr.. johnson,
charged with killing his wife. The evil
dence was positive and conclusive, leav-
ing no doubt of his speedy conviction.
To the amazement of all, the jury, after
a short absence, returned verdict
" Guilty of horse stealing" The Judge,
astonished, asked an explanation, stating
that the Indictment was not for horse
stealing, but manslaughter. The fore
man, with his hand upon huge law
book, and with an Observation-Disclosures
air, informed the court that cit was not
case of manslaughter, but woman
slaughter, for which the law made no
provision; but, being satisfied the man
deserved to be hanged, they had brought
in verdict of DEMONSTRATING, which, in
that county would be sure to hang him. %

Poisoning by Hats and Boots.

A German medical journal, quoted by
the Cincinnati Clinic, reports a case of
severe pustular eruption of the forehead
extending over the face, and which was
ascribed to the aniline dye in the leather
of the hat-band. We have seen case of
severe poisoning of the legs above the
ankles evidently produced by the leather
Innings of pair OF half-boots. We have
also under observation gentleman of
this city, leather-dealer, who has been
repeatedly poisoned by handling GER
tain kind of leather. In this case the
affection was eczematous, and followed
az permanent macula. The gentleman
attributed the effect to sumach used in
the preparation of the leather.

Literature i'm Prison.

A penitentiary with a library of 1000
volumes, solely for the use of the prison
ers, is to be found in very few countries,
and fifty years ago could not have been
found in all the world. The State peni-
tertiary of Western Pennsylvania is thus
endowed, and the philanthropic will be
interested In some facts respecting the
reading habits of the prisoners, which
are set forth in the last report of the
chaplain, who appears also to be the
librarian. The average daily population
during the year was 637. To these were
issued from the library 28,843 volumes.
These included 1882 works of fiction,
3, Isl biographies, 1, OFT poems, 2, 1853 his
tories, and 2, 757 books Of travel.
A curious instance is given of colored
prisoner, who brought to the teacher on
soiled rough brown paper list of some
ninety Greek proper names, and words
derived from the Greek. OF these he
wished to obtain the proper pronuncia-
ton, and npon inquiry it appeared that
he had been reading a history Of Greece
from the library. The questions, we are
told, were intelligent and creditable.
Some of the men try their hands at writ
ing the English language, although they
could not even read when they came in !;
and they are tempted to do this by their
desire to send letters to their friends and
families outside. They are not obliged
to attend the school, and their interest in
it is therefore all the more creditable.
Some of the prisoners have even ven
tured upon brief essays, suggested by
what they have read in these books or in
the newspapers. The latter, after some
hesitation on the part of the authorities.

Some of the prisoners purchase newspa-
pers from their own earnings by extra
labor, and the perusal of record of
current events must of course render

erty when it shall in time be restored to

An Exciting Scene at the European Peace

Conference.
from the Liverpool Post.l
There was one very stormy scene at
the Constantinople Conference. It took
place on Jan. s, and a slight notice of
it was telegraphed at the time, but the
full details are only now to hand. The
diplomatists We're discussing certain
counter-propositions offered by the Porte
in reply to the proposals of the powers,
when Edhem Pasha said that Turkey
ought to be allowed time to apply the
new constitution "Time is all very
well " said NJ. De Chaudordy, the French
ambassador, "but we ought to under
stand what you mean by the word. !"
Eth, mon Dieat, replied Safvet Pasha,
g it is difficult to be precise. We want
time. Europe ought to understand
that" De Chaudordy rejoined that
would turn the thing into farce.
"They must be precise; did they want
one year, two years, three years ?" eve
don't know" said Edhem Pasha. "The
point we wish to fix is that we want
time" "You mean eternity" said De
Chaudordy. A little later, after the
French diplomatists had kept silence for
some time, Edhem Pasha suddenly rose,
red with anger, and striking his fist on
the table, shouted to the Frenchmen,
"You are constantly reproducing Tur-
key with the accidents in Bulgaria, but
you will not find in all our glorious his
tory deeds SO monstrous as your ST. Bar
tholomew and your Dragonnades. NJ.
de Bourgoing (the other French Embas-
sador), usually very calm, turned to the
diplomatists and asked if this was dplo-
matte language. AS for M. De Chau-
dordy, he arose with face white with
anger, yet master of himself, and said,

an energetic protest. Yes, gentlemen

in the midst of the splendor of our his
tory we have to mourn over some days
of sorrow. But that does not prevent
whatever you may think to-day of those
who poured out their gold and their
blood in your defense-France from be-
ing one of the most civilized and en-
ightened nations in the whole world
while, as for Turkey, she is the most
barbarous nation in Europe" It will be
seen that the ambassadors, however
bafied they have been, enjoyed the
pleasure of speaking their minds.

A FOOT-HOLD.

Hardly a steamer that crosses the sea
But carries one traveller more,
For q little time, out on the shoreless sea,
Than she.counted when leaving the shore.
Blown far away from his mate where she sings,
BY he pitiless sea-bound gale,
Lost aud plying his patient wings
TIL heart and courage fall;
Lost on the shoreless, unknown main,
b inded with salt-white spray,
Dazed with the endless, waving plain,
Scared by the lengtheningAway
Lost ON the sea, and no land in sight;
Through the heavy and misty air
Struggling on through the dark and the light
To terror and mute despair
Till on the horizon cloudy speck
Clears to the mast, like tree,
Clears to the solid and ground-ike deck,
And he follows it YEARLY,
And clings and crouches, welcome guest,
An eager and tremulous bird,
With the green and blue on his neck and breast
BY his hearts hard painting stirred.

And shelter from wave and cold;
But the quick head droops, and the bright eyes dim
And the story all is told
Pftiful comfort, yet comfort still
Not to drop in the hungry sea,
Keeling down out Of the empty height
To that terrible agony.
Bitter and hard to be driven to roam
Between the sea and the sky,
To find foot-h9ld and warmth and home,
And then-only to die!
Yet it was harder, God He knows, - sr

History of q Picture.

Two Of the most celebrated artists the world
has ever known dwelt in the same city. One
delighted in delineating beauty in all its graces
of tint, form and motion. His portraits were
instinct with the charm of physical vigor. The
graceful, half-vOluptuous outline of form and
feature harmonized with delicately-blended
tints. On his canvas, the homeliest faces had
an almost irresistible charm. The other found
pleasure only in depicting weird and gloomy
subjects. Above all, did he excel in painting
the portraits of the dying. The agonizing
death-thrOe, the CHASTITY face and form, were
all depicted with marvellous fidelity. There
existed between these artists the most intense
dislike. At length this dislike eliminated The
beauty-loving artist had been engaged in paint
ing the portrait of a beautiful woman. Con-
nolsseurs pronounced it the most wonderful
piece Of art that had ever been produced. His
brother artist was jealous of his fame and
sought revenge. By bribing the keeper of the
studio he gained access to the picture each
night. At first he was content to only deaden
the brilliancy of the complexion and eyes,
efface the bloom from cheek and lip and paint
a shadow on either cheek. Later, his strokes
grew holder and freer, and one morning the ar
fist awoke to find the entire outline of the por-
trait changed. He could scarcely recognize in
the emaciated form and haggard countenance
the glowing conception he had embodied. The
pallld face and expresslonless eyes he had at
tributed to lack of genuineness in his ma
terials; but when the outlines were changed he
suspected the cause and Indignantly dismissed
the keeper. What the revengeful artist marred
by few rapid strokes of his skillful brush was
only restored by years of patient industry.
Reader, need we name the artists-Health, who
paints the flowers and GRASSY carpet" no less
than the human form divine-Disease, the
dreaded artist who reyels among the ruins
both of nature and humanity-and Careless
ness, the keeper to whom Health often intrusts
his portraits. And is it not the beauty of
woman, the most admired of all the works
which adorn the studio of Health, that Disease
oftenest seeks to mar? The slightest stroke of
his brush upon the delicate organization leaves
an imprint that requires much skill and pa
tience to efface. Restoration must be prompt.
Carelessness must be dismissed. Let suffering
women heed the warning ere Disease has
marred their chief beauty-Health- beyond
reparation. DR.. Pierces Favorite Prescription
has been used by thousands of these sufferers,
and they are unanimous in their praise Of its
excellence. If you would be transformed from
the pallid, nervous invalid into happy, vigor-
GUS woman, try it.

The Future Of Damaseus.

The Russian government is less liberal
than the Porte, and an attempt 10 carry
out its customary policy of reducing every
thing to a dead level by the introduction of
the Russian language and the Russian re-
ligion by imperial ukGse, would produce
more bloodshed in the Moslem districts
than has resulted from the policy of the
semi-tolerant Turk. This could be accom-
plished only by the determination of the
native races.
1t is probably written in the book Of fate
that the Danubian provinces. where Chris
tians are most numerous, will become IN
dependent or pass under the prOtectOrate
of Russia. But when the Moslems are
driven out of Europe, their rule in Syria
will be less tolerant than heretofore, and
the fanaticism of the people will be less
easily curbed. Since the atrocities in Bull
garia, the Christians of Asiatic Turkey
will be more eowed than before. Educa-
tion and a purer faith have been making
rapid progress through the disinterested
efforts Of the noble men who have labored
there as missionaries for two score years,
but it is doubtful whether the most en-
| lightened of the natives would willingly re-
linquish their present semi-independenct
for less tolerant foreign yoke. And II
Moslem rule is to continue in Syria. the
friends Of true progress may be thankful
that though ''propped by buttreSses from
without like the walls of decayed monas'
terry, the Porte permits all creeds to flour
ish, all churches to exist, and admits the
missionary, the newspaper and the school
throughout the empire. Il AWgustat'
