An African EnOch Arden.

Last evening as Mr.. James Coffee, an
unemployed colored waiter, was seated
in the bosom of his family, RECALLING him
self with his favorite dish of fried fioun-
ders and a hard boiled egg, a sudden rap
was heard at the outer door. Request
ing Mrs. Coffee, his buxom helpmate, to
attend the summons, the door was no
sooner opened than grand snuffiing en-
sued, and the smacking of an enormous
pair of lips was heard. "Dinah, don't
YOU know me?" exclaimed the new
conner, again indulging in osculatory re-
freshment. $50 long, you sassy Mig
ger p screamed Mrs Coffee. What's
all dis ?" cried Mr.. Coffee, dropping bit
of founder and springing to his feet.
Don't you know yah own husband p
cried The stranger. "What, Jim john
SOM" "Dat is me y "Whar's yer
stitficate ?" inquired the astonished host.
ooh, lost dat in the sea-" "Do you
recognize him for your fuss husband,
Dinah ?" inquired Mr.. Coffee. "Never
seed his ugly jaws fore in my life y re-
piled Mrs. Coffee. And thereupon olcl
Coffee event for him, and i'll another
minute the stranger was footing it up
Railroad avenue in manner that filled
all the cats and dogs for blocks around
with amazement. Mrs. Coffee lost her
first partner at sea, but she says her
present sole man" is all her fancy
painted him. -NeUark (N. ~ Register.

Good night" "good night" resound-
ed from every side as each particular

the exception of the sleigh in charge of

Literature i'm Prison.

A penitentiary with library of 1000
volumes, solely for the use of the prison
ers, liz 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,
3,151 biographies, /, OF poems, 2,753 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 history of Greece
from the library The questions, we are
told, were intelligent and creditable.
Some of the men try their hands Mt 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,
are now freely furnished to the convicts
it is thought with excellent results
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
them filter for an intelligent use of lib
erty when it shall in time be restored to
them. Benevolent people, knowing the
arrangements of the penitentiary, send
gifts of books and newspapers and one
good gentleman in Philadelphia is cred
tied with "barrel of reading matter. "

Dlue.Hlass 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-
ters of an hour the soreness and infiam-
nation disappeared. An old gentleman
whose right foot has been useless for a
year is slowly recovering behind three
mazarine panes. The wife of a 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 incre-
dulity in the efficacy OF blue glass was
banished from that house.

Poisoning by Hats and Boots.

A German medical journal, quoted by
the Cincinnati Clinic, reports case of
severe pustular eruption of the forehead
extending over the face, and which was
ascribed to the aniline dye in the heather
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 n gentleman OF
this city, leather-dealer, who has been
repeatedly poisoned by handling a GER
tain kind of leather In this case the
affection was eczematous, and followed
qy permanent macul@. The gentleman
attributed the effect to sumach used il
the preparation of the leather.

An Alabama Jury's Astonishing Yer.
diet

A jury in Alabama had been impan-
eled in the case of a 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 DEMONSTRATING" 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 amusingly-dignitied
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 horse-stealing, which, in
that county would be sure to hang him. "

History Of n 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 delicatey-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-loying artist had been engaged in paint
ing the portrait of a beautiful woman. Con-
noisseurs 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
\ shadow on either check. 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
pallid face and expressionless eyes he had at
tributcd to a lack Of commences III his ma
tcrials but when the outlines were changed lac
suspected the cause and Indignantly dismissed
the keeper. What the revengcful artist marred
by few rapid strokes of his sliillful 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 revels among the ruins
both of nature and humanity-and Careless
ness, the keeper to whom Health often inrrlsts
his portraits. And is it not the beauty Of
N a ia a
which adorn the studio of Health, that Disease
oftenest seeks to mar? The slightest stroke Of
his brush upon the delicate organization leaves
imprint that requires much skill and pa-
thence to efface. Restoration must be prompt.
Carclessness must be dismissed. Let suffering
women heed the warning ere Disease has
marred their chief beauty-Health-b
reparation. DIR. Pierce's Fayorite Prescription
has been used by thousands Of these sufferers,
and they are unanimous in their praise of its
excellence. IL you would be transformed from
the pallid, nervous invalid into u happy, yigor-
Ous woman, try it.

A FOOT-HOLD.

Hardly a steamer that crosses the sea
Bat carries one traveller more,
Tor litte time out on the shoreless sea,
Than she.counted when leaving the shore.
Blown Tar away from his mate where. she sings,
Hy the pitiless sea-bound gale,
10 &, aud plying his patient wings
2 II heart and courage fan; q
los, ON the shoreless, unknown main,
Blinded with salt-white spray,
Dazod with the endless, waving plain,
Scared by the lengthening way;
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 a cloudy speek
Clears TO the mast like tree,
Clears TO the solid and ground-like deck,
And he follows it wearily,
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.
The come pity, and food and drink to the brim,
And shelter from wave and cold;
But the quick head droops and the bright eyes dim,
And the story all il told
Pitiful comfort, yet comfort still
Not to drop in the hungry sea,
Reelng down out of the empty height
To that terrible agony.
Bitter and hard to be driven to roam
Between the and the sky,
To find foot-held and warmth and home,
And then-only to die
Yet II was harder, God He knows,
Who counts the sparrows that fall,
For the birds that lost when the wild winds rose
When the sea and the sky were all;
When the sky bent down TO infold the sea,
And the sea reached up to the sky,
And between them only the wind blew free,
And never ship went by

FRANCE AND TURKEY.
An Exciting scene at the European Peace
Conference.

Conference.
From the Liverpool Post.l
There was one very stormy scene at
the Constantinople Conference. 1t took
place ON Jan. 8, and slight notice of
ii was telegraphed mt the time, but the
full details are only now to hand. The
diplomatists were 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. Cline is all very
well, said NJ De Chaudordy, the French
ambassador, "but we ought to under
stand what you mean by the word. a"
"Eh, mon Dieu," replied Safvet Pasha,
sit 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 ?" "We
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 reproaching 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 diplo-
matte language. AS for M. De Chau-
dordy, he arose with face white with
anger, yet master of himself, and said,
81 cannot let such words pass without
an energetic protest Yes, gentlemen
he looked steadily at the two Turks
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-
! hghtened nations in the whole world
while, as for Turkey, she is the most
barbarous nation in Europe" 1t will be
seen that the ambassadors, however
baffied they have been, enjoyed the
pleasure of speaking their minds.
