Hayes said he had been told that the
portrait had been cut out of its frame
by a colored man, but l satisfied him it
was saved by Mr.. Souissa- The Oldest
Inhabitants Association recently inves-
tigated the matter thoroughly, and
found beyond doubt that it was Souissa
who saved the picture. Edward Nc
Manus, who was door-keeper at the
White House for nearly thirty years,
told me several days ago that when the
picture was reframed, Just before Bu-
chanan left the White House, he saw
the jagged edges made by the knife,

to him. satisfied Mr.. Hayes on this
subject. There was a colored man en-
ployei at the White House at the time
by the name of Jerry Smith. just be-
fore Mrs. Madison left the Mansion,
after piling all of her clothing and such
like things as she could take into trunks,
she impressed upon Jerry the impor-
tance Of saving fine poll-parrot she
had. While Souissa was cutting the
portrait out of its frame, Jerry took the
poll-parrot down the street, looking for
some one who would promise him they
would take care of it to oblige Mrs.
Madison. He finally put it in McGraw's
restaurant, corner of Fifteenth and f
streets, where it was kept until Mrs.
Madison returned. Mr.. w. w. Corcor-
an told me some time ago that Souissa
rolled up the picture, and hid it in the
Union hotel in Georgetown. He did
not say this of his own knowledge, how
ever, and am sure he is mistaken. 1t

the dead ody of Samuel Levi of No. f01
hay-shed about so feet in the rear of his resi-
dence with the throat cut. The coroner was
summoned. He found the deceased dressed
in his ordinary clothing, lying on his back,
his feet almost at the foot of the door, his
hands lying by bis side, and the upper part of
his body leaning against the straw. His head
was inclined a little to the left, showing a
savage cash extending from just underneath
the left ear to about the center of the throat.
About six inches from his right hand lay an
old-fashioned butcher knife with wood
handle and a blade about six inches in length,
the blade covered with blood. He had been
suffering with his throat for several days, and
appeared nervous and unsettled all the even
ing. Hearing his horse make a noise, he went
TO his stable two or three times, and the last
time not returning his wife went with a
lantern and found him asaboye described. The
victim of this tragedy has lived in st. Paul
about twelve years, coming from Iowa. Had he
lived until the 22d inst he would have been
60years old. He was glaizer by trade. He
had comfortable home, was strictly temper
ate, and as far as known by Mrs. Levi, did not
owe a cent in the world. He had been married

The Rainbow's Treasure.


By JOHN BOYLE o'REILLY.
Where the foot ofthe rainbow meets the field
And the grass resplendent grow,
The earth will splendid treasure yield,
As the olden story goes.
In crystal cup are the diamonds piled
For him who can swiftly chase
Over torrent and precipice wild,
To find the rainbow's wandering base.
here were two in the field at work one day,
Two brothers, who blithely sung,
When across their valleys deep, winding way,
The glorious arch was flung,
And one saw naught but sign of rain,
And one feared for his sheayes unbound;
And one is away, over mountain and plain,
Till the mystical treasure is found.
Through forest and stream, in blissful
The rainbow lured him on;
With SIRENS guile it loitered awhile,
Then leagues away was gone.
Over brake and brier he followed fleet.
The people seoffed as he passed;
But in thirst and heat, and with wounded feet
He closed on the prize at last.
1t is closer and eloser--he wins the race
One strain for the goal in sight;
Its radiance falls on his yearning face
The blended colors unite
He layes his brow in the iris beam
He reaehes-Ah, woe The sound
From the misty gulf where he ends his dream,
And the crystal cup is found
IT'S the old old story. One man win read
His lesson of toll in the sky;
While another is blind to the present need,
But sees with the spirits eye.
You may grind their souls in the self-same
mill,
You may bind them heart and brow;
Rut the poet will follow the rainbow still,
And his brother win follow the pillow.

ORIGIN of Water-Cnre.

The originator of hydropathy, or the
water cure, was German peasant named
Vincent Priessnitz, who certainly went
through much tribu.ation before his theo-
~ was full developed. AT thirteen years
Of age he sprained his wrist, and he re.
Iieved the pain by the application of cold
water. Soon afterwards he crushed his
thumb and found relief by the same
treatment. In his nineteenth yeas he
fractured several of his ribs and so dis
placed the bones that the surgeon could
NOS reset them, but he himself was equal
TO the emergency, and, leaning across a
wiadow-sill, he took deep breath and so
expanded bis lungs that the edges Of the
broken bones we're brought into place.
He then subdued the pain and soreness
by applying wet bandages to his chest.
He became known to his neighbors as
the water doctor" and in 1889 founded
the first water cure institution, which was
the celebrated Grafenberg establishment

have one of my dresses, bat il would not
