The colored men heard OF the attack on Fair
fax at Waterproof and were very much ex-
cited about It, On the day the Republican
convention was to meet at st. Joseph there
was an assembly OF armed men some distance
from the town. Witness went to them and
by persuasion, threats and even violence
using his buggy whip on them, induced them
to dispense.
Witness saw white men in body after the
gathering OF the negroes. but it was more OF Q
demonstration to show the colored men that
the white people could hurt them Ii they want
ed to. and witness thought the demonstration
was necessary at the time, as he greatly
feared an uprising OF the blacks
The committee adjourned until O'Clock

Palestine Pottery:.

The Biblical descriptions ofpot-
terry are singulHrly applicativo TO
the present process Of ..manufac-
;urc. Now, in this nineteenth
century, the potter sits at his frame
and turns The wheel with his foot.
Or. as We read in the Apocrypha:
so doth tho potter, sitting st
his work and turning lis
wheel about with his feet; llo
faShioneth the clay with his arm"
Tn" potter had u heap of prepared
clay before him, and Il pot of water
by dis side. Tnking a lump in his
hand. he placed it on the top of tho
wheel. which rerolvcs horizontally,
and smoolhcd il into low cone,
Iik" tie upper end Of a sugar loaf;
then thruSting his thumb into tho
top ui it, h" opened q hole down
through the CENTER, and this ho
constantly wiirurd by pressing,thc
edges Of the revolving cone between
his hands. As it enlarged aud
became thinner, he gave it what
ever shape h" pleased, with the
utmost ease and expedition.
/; i; evident. from numerous cx-
preston. in the Bible, tina! the pot
tcr's vessel WIS the synonym Of
utter fragiliLy; and 10 say, us
David does, tha! Zion's king would
dash his caenics in pieces like IL
pot!cr'= vessel, was to threaten
with rlinous and rcmedilcss
destruction.
We who arc accustomed to
strong stoNc-wArc of considerable
value can scarcely appreciate somo
OF these Biblical references, but for
Palestine they are still as ap-
propriatc and forcible as ever. Arab
jars are so thin and frail that they
arr literally dashed to shivers by
the slightest stroke. Water Jars
are often broken by merely putting
them down upon the floor; and
the servant frequently rsturns from
the foun;ain em2ty-Eianded, having
had all his jars smashed to atoms
by some irregular behavior of the
donkcy.-H"pcr's !Mnga=ine.

his attention.
Then the dance over, Lionc
gave Ecll his arm.
"That has been delightful quad,
rillc, Miss Melton. BY the way
did you know | have something
that belongs to you?"
They lad reached Roses cha;'
by this time and Bell turned laugh
ingly to him.
Something of mine. | do not
sec how that cau be, Mr.. Granville,
Do you, Rose?'
Rose favored him with her most
fascinating smile.
Indeed | 10 not, seeing that
this is the first tino We ever saw
Mr.. Granville"
He smiled in Bells eyes.
"I'll leave :ou to Eathom the mys-
terry. Don't forget the first waltz
for NE, Miss Bell"
He went away, so handsome, 90
courtly, and Bells foolish little
heart w.s throbbiag with new.
vague delight. while Rose WAS nj
most sufloca;ine with envy at the
signal triumph Of her sister. Mr..
Granville came for his waltz.
He drew her hand through his
arm almost authOritivcly.
Miss Bell, it seems | havo al
ways known you, yet you say you
never saw me befhre. Suppose We
tako % walk through the conserva-
tory instead Of having this waItz?"
Into the fragrant semi-dusk they
went where fountains tinkled and
rare flowers bloomed. and the mu-
sic came in veiled sweetness and
richness
II want you to he sure am
right, Miss Bell, when | say ! have
something Of yours. Look ri me
closely. Have YOU ever seen me
tclore?"
lie bent his face near hers. Ii
was gravely smiling-and 50 ten
der and gocd-and Bell looked
timidly at the smiling yet stern
eyes.
II am sure I never saw you be-
fore, Mr.. Granville"
"Then, have you ever seen tllis?r
lie drew from his vest pocket 4
sovereisn-thc very ono, with Il
tiny bit Clipped of it, that Bell
hsd given the tramp.
Don't you understand, dear
child?' Ihai taken a freak into
my head that would walk from
town here, and it was grand
walk, although it took three days
and ruined my clothes. | stopped
at your little cottage TO beg IL glass
Of water. You know the rest
Bells face was q marvel Of
establishment at that moment.
"1n your kindness and goodness
you gave it to me, Miss Bell, and
the little act gave he an insight
into Il heart which years OF fordinary
intercourse could never do"
II shall keep it until you buy it
back. have set price on it and
if ever YOU are ready to pay it YOU
can have it."
He put the money rcyerently
away in his breast pocket, and
took her out smong the crowd
again, q strangely happy girl.
And before the summer roses
had faded Bell paid the price for
the Clipped sovercisn-her own
heart-that Lionel Grandville
pleaded for so eagerly.
She is the mistress Of the grand
house now, and Rose visits her
once n year. not oftener. Because
Bells husband doesn't care much
for her. But the invalid nother
has d life long home amid the
luxuries OF Fsrn!ey Court, and
Bell ia happier than the birds that
sing in the trees Of tho big old
park.
