A Revolution Indeed

a1F - 80 During slavery I owned one
of the blacklist as we'll as meanest negro
men in South Arkansas. He was known
in the neighborhood as Grow. Sam. I
used to trash Sam about twice 8 week.
Steal he'd steal from. himself and then
deny it. Well, when the war came on he
was one of the first to turn against me.
He went into the army and served till
tho surrender. After peace was made, I
moved over into an adjoining county and
went to work, trying to repair my broken
fortune. One day negro that had
working for me knocked down one of my
horses, which so enraged me that struck
him several times with my cane He
went away and returned with q constable,
who summoned me to appear next day
before magistrate. Officers were not
quite SO mum erous then as now, and the
magistrates office was several miles away.
Well, sir, when got there who should l
see on the bench but old Crow SAM He
was fat and greasy, and had on an enor-
nous pair ofspectacles. When:every thing
had been made ready Court was opened,
and old Sam, giving me searching look,
remarked:
spears that I've seed you afore.:'
"Look here, SAM" I said, II don't like
to be mixed up this way. Try to settle
this affair without malice" -'s'
"De law is gwine to hab its direck
course" said Sam. Fittings hab kinder
changed since we was in business togeth-
er, but de principle of de niger haven't
revoluted. Dis niger is big rascal as
l used to be, so, Mars John, I'll discharge
you, dinging de black ape in de cost."--

with a dry bandage, and rest it for some
days or even weeks. Entire rest at first,
and moderate rest. afterward, are abso-
lutely necessary after sprain. If it be
in the ankle, the foot should be raised as
high as may be comfortable; If in the
wrist, it should be carried in sling. =,
To Re,nove Warts.-The best applica-
ton is said to be that of monnhydrated
nitric acid. The ordinary acid should
not be used because its caustic effects
extend much farther than the points
touched, while the action Of the stronger
acid here recommended is limited to the
parts to which it is actually applied.
Nitrate of silver is also frequently used
with advantage, aud of late concentra
ted solution of chloral has been spoken
of as efficient in destroying warts.
A writer of the Rural New Yorker says:
ID have noticed when travelling on the
cars that many of the passengers who car
nv their lunch, generally have liberal
supply Of chicken. Now, there is no
objection to the fowl itself, but there is to
the shape in which it is often taken.
When there are SO many good recipes for
pressed and .jellied chicken it seems as
if the bones need not he carried. I was
once Obliged to occupy a seat on the
cars with stranger, who entertained me
for half an hour by gnawing the wings
and legs Of fowl. At the same time
another person who sat directly opposite
was engaged in the like occupation. If
the chicken be prepared according to the
accompanying recipe, travellers need not
be aware of the nature of each others
luncheon: Cut up young fowl and put
it in kettle, with one cofeecupful of
cold water. Sprinkle with salt and
pepper, and cover closely. When tender,
pick the meat off the bones, and chop
into bits, the size of peas, pack into a
quart bowl. Thicker with flour the lit
tie juice that remains in the kettle, and
pour over the chicken. Put plate on it,
while warm, and a heavy weight on the
the plate. 1t is necessary to cook the
fowl in but little water, Other it viii
notjelly. 1t is best not to cut pressed
chicken until the dav after 1t is made.
Place thin layers of it between thin slices
of bread, and press firmly together. TO
be eaten without separating, like SAID
wiches."

Quiet Lives.

In valley, centuries ago,
Grew little fern:leaf, green and SLENDER
Veining delicate, and fbers tender,
Waving when the wind crept down SO low,
Rushes tall, and moss and grass grew round
it;
Playful sunbeams darted in aud found it;
Drops of dew stole down by night and
crowned it.
But no foot of man e'er came that way; d.
Earth was young and keeping holiday,
Useless? Lost? There came a thoughtful
man,
Searching natures secrets far and deep;
From fissure in a rocky steep
He withdrew stone DER which there ran
Fairy pencillings, quaint design,
LEAKAGE, veining fibres, clear and fine,
And the ferns life lay in every line!
So, I think, God hides some souls away,
sweetly to surprise us the last day.

Novelties in Fashion.

Diamond buttons, so called, are nov
city and very effective on evening dresses
Each button is composed of several crystal
Rhine pebbles, cut and set like diamonds.
They are made in several sizes.
Gilded ornaments are all the rage.
Gilded combs, and buckles for the shoes,
are among these. Buckles of Rhine peb-
bles are used for the same purpose.
Many toilets are covered with beads
and embroidery, all in bright colors.
Materials are also used shot with metal
lie threads, and laces have gold and silver
work intermixed. 1t is very difficult
with these snowy trimmings aud materi-
ais to have toilet which is in perfect
taste. and not one over trimmed.
Save at official dinners, where receptions
are announced to take place afterward,
low-neck dresses are not worn. The half
low neck, with short sleeves, is adopted
These have transparent inserted pufings,
and triple lace labots for trimming
Garnet color, which Is now SO mitch worn
in the evening, is used for a young lady,
toilet very differently than when en-
ployed for an elderly person. The follow.
ing descriptions of toilets will show the
difference between the two styles. For
the young lady's toilet the body of the
dress is garnet faillee, with bright pink
satin overdress, plated in lengthwise
plaits. These are fastened up by small
bands of ruchings made of pink satin
bordered with garnet color, These ruch-
ings become larger toward the lower part
of the skirt, terminating in broad, loose
plaits. The panier polonaise is. of fancy
garnet velvet. The square pocket is
trimmed with silver and gold and several
shades of pink embroidery. The polonaise
is also trimmed with this work.
The pink satin vest is embroidered in
Louis XIV. rococo shades. It has II very
long basque, reaching nearly to the
knees, and left open about the distance
of four buttons from the lower part. The
buttons are garnets mounted in silver
flligree. Under the basque of the velvet
habit are pink satin draperies forming
the panier. From these drapcries falls a
garnet-colored train, which is plated in
hollow plaits. These are very deep and
open in fan shape on the lower part of
the skirt. The sides are trimmed up
with three draperles placed each above
the other, and forming "quille" trim
ming, trimmed with chenille fringe in
pink and garnet in several shades. The
inside border of the vest is trimmed with
a ruching of Brussels lace. The satin
sleeves, which reach to the elbows, have
garnet velvet revers. worked with silver.
A fall of Brussels lace lies over the pale
pink gloves. The hair is dressed in large
ringlets, and adorned with ruby butter
flies and birds.
A toilet suited to On elderly lady is a
polonaise of fancy garnet velvet opening
over body of satin in the same shade.
The apron is draped diagonally, fastened
and raised in the centre and on the sides
under bows. The dress is cut open in
heart-shape over fchu of white lace
The skirt has long train.

A Dutch Dairy Farm.

"A UuCCn DAIRY
Mr.. j. Howlett, Of Syracuse, N. Y,
writes from Europe:
After feeding the horses and resting
little while, we drove about eight miles
farther on to one of the best stock and
dairy farms in Holland. They used the
very same stable at the farm that they
did ia the fburteehth cehtuty. They
have little rings in the ceiling with cords
passing through them, by which the cow
tails ate held Up to keep them FROM get
ting dirty. The stable was, eatgeted and
had plants and flowers in it. The floor
of the stables was of small bricks. At
the back of the stalls was trough OF
masonry about 1S inches wide and 8
inches deep, with ditch or reservoir OF
wster at one end As soon as the trench
was dirtied they tuthed Oh 'ths water,
and all the manure, etc, was carried out
toa covered vat, whence it could be re-
moved to the fields or wherever they
wanted it moved to. The cows were as
c.ean, if not cleaner than your horses. All
the fastening they have is a little cord
around their necks, and they are so gen
tie and quiet that they, do not require
anything stronger.
They use brass milk pals instead OF
wood or tin ones. We saw the way they
make the round cheeses that are sent to
America. They have wooden molds IN
the shape of two hemispheres or half
balls. These are hollow and fit together.
The cheese cutd is first roughly pressed
into shape and then placed in the molds.
The lower half of the mold is stationary,
while the upper part is fastened to q
kind of screw working in q beam over
head. The upper half is screwed down
tight, and the cheese is left for1a week.
At the end Of week it is screwed down
tighter and left another week. at the
end Of q third week the chees, is expos
ed to the air and the curing begins. 1t
takes three months for a cheese to be
cured, and year before it is TT tor the
market. Everything was, as sweet ana

A Simple Test OF the Quality of Drinking
Water.

A Simp' Test OF the Quality or Drinking
Water.
Nothing Is more important, from a
sanitary point of view, than the ptlf1ty Of
the water used for cooking purposes or
for satisfying thirst. Should it contain
an undue proportion of organic matter,
it might be the means of giving rise to
most serious diseases, often Of fatal
character. 1t Is very common mistake,
but nevertheless very serious one. to
regard r1et4 water as pttre water; for clear
and clean are not synonymous. Of counsel
the question as to the fitness or untitness
of soil water for domestic use can only be
determined absolutely by careful chem
ical analysis. But since few persons wish
to incur the trouble and expense OF a
chemical analysis, q simple method by
which any one may test the quality of
the water he uses ti1ay not come amiss.
AS is well known, the sehse Of taste and
smell vary greatly in different individuals,
one utterly failing to detect the foul con-
ditiOn of a water which would be very
evident to a person of finer organization.
Some waters, moreover of very dangerous
quality, will fail to give any indication
by taste or smell. Blu, if the causes of a
bad taste or smell exist in the water, the
deleterious effects on the health will re-
main the same whether they are rec
ogni4ed or hot. Heirch's test fot this
purpose (credlted by the Reoue indus
trielle 10 Prot. Reynolds, of DublinD is
very useful, and SO simple that any one
can use it: Fill perfectly clean pint
bottle three fourths full of the water to be
tested. and dissolve therein half tea

granulated sugar will do), cork the bottle

Phmniclan Art.

Strictly speaking, PhRuicia had no art
of its own, its designs we're borrowed
from Egypt and Assyria, and its ar
fists went to school on the banks of the
Nile and the Euphrates. The Phenician
combined and improved upon his mod
els; the impulse, the origination came
from abroad; the modification and elab.
grafton were his own. He entered into
other mems labqta, and taade the fiost of
his heritage. The Sphinx Of Egypt be-
came Asiatic, and its now form was tran
splanted to Nineveh en- the one side and
to Greece on the other. The rosettes and
other patterns of the Babylonian cylin.
ders were introduced into the handiwork
of Phmnicia, and 80 passed on to the
Wesr, while the hero Of the ancient 0hal-
dean spic became first the Tyr;an Mel
karth, aad then the Herakles of Helias.
1t is possible, no doubt, that with all this
borrowing there was still something that
was original in Phnnician work; such at
any rate seems to be Che case with some
of the forms given to the vases; but at
present we have no means of deter min
ing how far this originality may have ex-
tended. In Assyria, indeed, Pbenician
art exercised q great influence in the
eighth at i seventh centuries 3. G., but it
had itself previously drawn It's ftst ill.,
