OLD DEsYASDUST.

Magliabechi, the celebrated librarian Of
Florence. lived, ate, drank and slept among
his books; he lived in the most seques-
tered and philosophical manner, scarcely
ever leaving the city. His house was but
one continued pile of books; his lower
rooms were crowded with them, not only
Aalong the wainscot but in piles to con-
sid rable height, and so spread on the floor
that there was not the least place for sitting
down, much less for walking, except
long, narrow passage leading from one
room to the other. The porch of this
house was, in the same manner, every
where stuffed with books, as far as the pro-
jecting awning would secure them from
rain. The staircase was lined all the way
up with this library furniture, as We're all
the upper rooms. Magliabechi generally
shut himself up all the day, and opened
his doors in the evening to the men of let
ters who came to converse with him. He
was negligent in his person. and was usu-

reaching to his knees. His cloak, which
was also black, served him for a morning
gown in the day, and for bed clothes at
night it was generally much patched, in
consequence of the Acles he burnt in it.
He wore large hat and a Florentine band
round his neck. On one arm he carried
pan, in which was constant fire for warm
ing his hands, and his clothes bore evidence
of their being often too nearly connected
with it. His linen he usually W ire until it
fell to pieces. He always slept on his
books; bound volumes served him for a
mattress, those in boards for a pillow, and
Ae covered himself with such as were
merely stitched, throwing his cloak over
all. His sole Diet was eggs, bread and
water. The Grand Duke of Florence,
Cosmos H., to whom Ma gliabechi was Ii
brarian once prevailed on him to take up
his residence in the ducal palace; but he
| quilted it four months afterward, and re-
! turned to his own house; indeed, though
he rarely stirred out, yet he had such an
aversion to everything that looked like
restraint that the Grand Duke dispensed
with his personal attendance, and always
sent lin his orders in writing.

same with sham tickets. When the polls
were closed he had the hall cleared on
the pretext of disorder created by some
of his hirelings, and proceeded to count
the sham tickets, together with others he
took from his pocket. By this means he
was enabled to declare the Republican
candidate, NJ. Nauget, defeated. He was

LADY VINO KEEPS LIONS As
PETS.


Rarely does one hear Of lady's attach
Ing herself to such pets as the writer saw
at Mrs. Lincolns, "a Howard street, re-
Gently. Living in the family are q couple
of lions, twenty-one moths old, brought
up by the hand of Mrs. Lincoln. They are
African lions, species not easily reared in
this country, but Mrs. Lincoln has sue
ceeded, by the exercise Of great care, in
rearing them to their present age and size.
The male weighs about $50 pounds, and
the female perhaps fifty pounds less.
They have been at the house on Howard
street since last September, and until a
short time ago had the run of the place,
going about the rooms with considerable
freedom. As a measure of caution, the
police thought the creatures should be re-
strained, and their quarters are now more
limited than formerly, although they have
safe outdoor run and room adjoining the
kitchen, with only strong wire door sep
arating the apartments. Mrs. Lincoln is
as free with her pets as ladies are with
their poodles. She plays with them, feeds
them from her hands, and has taught them
various tricks. They will kiss her at her
bidding, jump through hoop, &c. Be-
fore the police restrictions were placed
upon them, the animals were accustomed
TO walk into the kitchen or parlor among
guests, and go back to their quarters with
out offering to harm any one. A year ago,
the lioness used to occupy the same couch
with the lady at night but now she has
grown full large to be taken upon a com.
mon bedstead The animals are quite O
curiosity, and, in their gentleness, show
plainly how potent is the law of kindness,
even with the brute creation. .-Bostoa Her.

EEAEED TO DIGEST.

At a certain boarding house in this city,
says the New Bedford Mass STANDARD, is
a young man whose occupation is the "art
preservatiye," and whose labors occupy
him during those hours when the majority
of mankind is asleep. OF course he gets
hungry, and is accustomed to get lunch
when he starts out for his nightly toll.
This lunch is done up in paper and placed
on table in the hall of the boarding house,
from which the young man takes it when
lie goes out. One evening, as he went out,
he saw two bundles lying upon the table
and unthinkingly took the nearest and car
ried it away. About midnight, that unfail-
ing monitor, an empty stomach, warned
him that lunch time had arrived, and, with
high hopes and keen appetite he took
out his bundle and opened it, but was
struck all aback to find instead of his COW
eted food small package of neatly folded
handkerchefs, which had been placed upon
the table by the laundryman for one of the
other boarders. Language fails to do JUS
tice to the denouement, and so we draw the
curtain.

HE SyASy, USED TO E,T.

Verdi, the eminent artist, who, being o
foreigner, is not well up in American in
ventions, retired to his room in San Fran
cisco, and after partially disrobiug him
self, was startled 10y fearful noises from an
adjoining room. On the still midnight air
came these words: "Giye me the gold-I
must have the money nowl" and the reply:
'Mon6ter! would you murder me? Helpl
help! help!" Verdi had just learned
enough about the American District Tele-
graph Company's instruments to know
very little about them, but he started for
the box in the hall i'll his robe de nuit, and
called successively for all that was on the
dial Directly his calls were answered.
A ton of coal, policeman, q do tor, a
messenger, and squad of the fire brigade
appeared, and the terrible tragedy resolved
itself into private rehearsal between the
leading man and the heavy villain of an
amateur troupe, both of whom were found
snoring in their beds when the avengine
mob burst open their bedroom door.

herself out as servant The young Miss
added that if she ever got married she did
not intend to trust her household affairs to
servants, and, since her family thought it
beneath them to allow their daughter to
work, she would go where she would not
be hindered from learning housekeeping,
'and," added the mother, 81 am certain
she has kept her word but am fully con-
vinced that about two weeks of the expert
ment will satisfy her, and that she will re-
turn home. Maggie took but very few
clothes with her, and those the plainest
ones she had, and she will soon have to
come or send for others"
A gentleman put an advertisement in. a
morning paper for board, and among the
other answers that he received was one
from large uptown boarding house. He
called there, and, liking the place, at once
engaged room. His first meal in the es-
tablishment was breakfast, and his aston
ishment can better be imagined than de-
scribed when, on entering the breakfast
room, he saw, in the capacity of wait
reSs, Miss Magic H., the daughter of his
old friends. He had not heard of her dis.
appearance, and, on questioning the land
lady, he was inform d that she did not
know anything about the girl; she had
met her at an intelligence Office, and as she
liked her looks, and the girl had good
references, she employed her.
The gentleman, suspecting that all was
not right, requested the lady not to allow
Maggie to leave the house until his return.
He then fastened to her fathers house and
told them where Maggie was, and for the
first time learned of her disappearance.
The father at once called at the boarding
house, and, after explaining matters to TIE
landlady, took his daughter home.

For ways that are dark and tricks that

the world. Being the inventor of this
peculiar method of asce1taining the will
Of the people, it would naturally be sup
posed that he would have perfected the
invention so that no unsophisticated for
eigner, who must be necessarily anovice
on the subject of popular suffrage, could
outfraud him. But France, under the
republic, has developed talent of high
order in this direction, and that, too, Oh

DISCOVERY OF A EHS'E AIST.

method of reproducing the famous
because rare, fire gilded glass of the Egypt
ians has been recently patented, and from
the results attained, it would appear that
the inventor, if he has not discovered the
ancient process, has devised an excellent
substitute. Fire gilded glass is glass into
which gold is so worked that many hun
dreds of years have failed to effect any
change, or to tarnish the gold. The trus-
tees of the British Museum were SO pleased
with the result of the modern process that
they accepted from the inventor M. d FIus-
sey, specimens of his recovery of lost art.
The process consists in introducing gold
leaf or platinum into the body of the glass.
and malgamating the precious metal with
the glass by means of blow-pipe, an oper-
alton which also serves to produce q per-
fectly indestructible covering to the metal
and the designs traced. The product so
much resembles the ancient work that the
method is likely to find tolerably wi %
field of usefulness OR, at least, of profit to
its inventor.

A HORSE HFIAT WASN'T DEAD,

A curious case of suspended animaticg
occurred in Dewittyille New York, short
time ago. A number of teams were draw
ing bark to the tannery, when suddenly one
of the horses in the leading team fell ap-
parently stone dead. The road was mar
row, and in order to let the other teams
pass, rope was fastened to the neck of
the dead horse, and he was dragged nearly
quarter of mile anl left by the roadside.
That evening collection was taken up by
the men engaged about the tannery for the
purpose of buying another horse for the
unfortunate teamater, and hearty sympathy
and generosity were shown toward the
owner of the dead horse. The next mora
ing, when the men went to the stsbl to
feed their teams, the dead horse was found
quietly standing in the barnyard. He was
apparently well, with the exception that
large patches of skin were worn OF Ais 6iIo
in dragging him along the road.

THE question of Homes for Children
is one that begins to attract the atten-
tion of the citizens of the various coun-
ties throughout the State, not only as a
matter of beneyolence, but of economy
and public policy as well. The larger
cities are fairly provided for in this
respect, but there are very few counties
chat offer suitable homes for their poor
and orphan children. Clark, Lawrence,
Montgomery, Warren, Washington and
5cioto Counties each have a County
Home for Children" and Columbiana
and Stark Counties jointly have obs

building such an institution, and the cit
iScns of Trumbull and Tuscarawas are
agitating the subject. Poor children are
continually being cut loose from home,
either through the poverty or death Of
their parents, and as they will nearly
always drift away into crime and wretch
edness unless they are speedily provided
for, everybody should take a special in
Ierest in their condition and see that they
are properly established.
