Indigo Faet0ry,

Have you ever thought what indigo
Is, and where it comes from? Near the
city Of Allahabad, in India. our mis-
sionaries may see the little indigo plan
growing, and the factory where our in
digo is prepared for use. The follow
ing account of the preparation of the
indigo from the plant was given by the
proprietor 10 one who travelled in that
country:
1t is the young shoots of the humble
plant you see before you which provide
us with the precious material for dyeing.
and not the flowers, as Is commonly
supposed. The gathering of these
shoots is very delicate operation.
When they have arrived Mt n proper de-
gre OF maturity, they must be speedily
removed, and each cutting must he exc
cuted with Tapidity and during the
night, for the sun would wither tie
branches, and deprive them of their
properties. We therefore require a
great many hands; all the villagers on
my estate are placed in requisition. The
workmen are all dispersed in the fields
at midnight; and in the morning the
produce of the harvest is deposited in
these stone troUghs. which have been
previously filed with water. Then is
the time for the sun to perform its part.
Under the influence Of It's rays the sub
stances undergo . species of fermenta-
ton; the water becomes colored with
5ariegated tinges. and rapidly turns
blue. After space OF about forty-eight
hours, the liquid is drawn of from the
smallest trougbs. IL now emits =
slightly ammoniacal smell. and the color
Is almost black. 1t is allowed TO evaPo-
rate again, and is then placed in meta
watts. heated by steam. in which. when
the evaporation has ceased, deposit OF
pure indigo Is formed. II only remains
To dry this deposit, pack il, and send IT
TO the market at Calcutta

A Wonderful Mesmeriser.

Strange stories come from India OF
the feats performed by a native mes
meriser named BUM, whose magnetic
power would appear to he found quite
irresistible by the lower animals, upon
which he exclusively exerts IT. He
gives seances, TO which the public are
invited to bring all manner of ierocious
and untamable wild beasts, and holds
them with his glittering eye. In few
seconds they subside into a condition of
cata.eptic stiffness, from which they
can only be revived by certain passes
which he solemnly executes with his
right hand. A snake in n state of
violent irritation was brought TO Buni
by a menagerie proprietor, inclosed in .
wooden cage. When deposited on the
platform it was writhing and kissing
iiercely. Buni bent over the cage and
fixed his eyes upon its occupant, gently
waving his hand over the serpent's rest
less head. In less than minute the
snake stretched Itself out, stiffened. and
and thrust several needles into Its body,
passes then restored Il to its former
angry tivity. Subsequently q savage
dog, held in q leash by its owner, was
brought in, and, at Buns command, let
loose upon him. As it was rusaing to-
ward him, bristling wit, fury, nc raised
his hand, and in n second the fierce
brute dropped upon its De...y as though
it was stricken bv lightning. It seemed
absolutely paralyzed OF some unknown
agency, and was unable to move n
muscle until released Iron the mag
netiser's spell by majestic wave oil his
hand.

Lightning and Kisses.
Tho storm is coming on apaoe;

The storm is coming on apaoe;
The trees begin to shiver;
Big drops of rain drum on the pane,
And set me all a-quiver;
The clouds are black as ink, oh-oh
How vividly 1t lightened!
And this premonitory hush
Joe, am sadly frightened.
"No wonder, darling, you're afraid
In such storm as this is;
But never fear the lightning, dear,
I'll blind your eyes with KISSES"
It's driving down upon us now;
The very house is rocking;
Wind-currents roar, rain-torrents pour
Oh, how my knees are knocking;
The thunders crash and roll AS though
The sky had split asunder;
Joe, shall surely faint away,
l am so afraid OF thunder,
q" Darling, you well might faint away
In such storm as this is;
But never fear the thunder, dear,
I'll silence bring with kisses"
" It's such catching season, Joe,
Pm in a constant panic;
There's that about thunder-cloud
Which seems almost satanic.
What did You say, Joe THAT you wish
'Twould come on every day so,
You cruel iellow-let me 60
How do you dare say so7
"0i such a cruel wish, my dear,
The explanation this IS:
The grass and grain need frequent rain,
And I-need FREQUENT kisses"

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
( New York Times.

There is very important lawsuit in
progress in Newbern, n. c., which will
be watched with interest by the legal
profession in al parts Of the country.
Il is tho first case Of the kind on record,
but in the event of the plaintiffs sue
cess it will be by no means tho last.
Sose time ago Nr. Finch, of NewSern,
who il in the !jowelry business, e1h'-
bited to Miss Waters, u young lady
with whom he was on friendly terms,
n beautiful set Of real jet. The lady
was very anxious 70 own the set, but
was not able to buy it. In these cir
cumstances, Mr.. Finch proposed a novel
kind ofbargain. Ho said that he would
nell Miss Waters tho set for one hun
dred kisses, to be paid ut the rate OF
ono kiss daily on each and every day
next ensuing from the day Of the date
of the agreement, excepting, neverthe-
less, each and every Sunday thereafter.
It was further provided that Mr. Finch
was to call at the lady's house every
morning, except Sunday morning, to
receive his daily kiss, which Miss Waters
undertook and promised to duly deliver
to him. This contract was not reduced
to writing, bht it WAS fully understood
and agreed to by both parties, and the
set of lot was rendered to Miss Waters
and accepted by her.
The next morning Mr.. Finch called on
Miss Waters for his first kiss, which, a.
the young lady now maintains, was
fully paid. On each subsequent morn
ing for thirty consecutive days-sun.
days excepted-the same proceedings
we're had. On the thirty-tirst day, how
ever, Mr. Finch made o formal com
plant that Miss Waters was not fulfill
ing her contract. inasmuch as she in
sisted upon permitting him to kiss hsr
cheek only. He maintained that thi'
did not constitute legal kiss, and he
demanded that he should be allowed to
put his arm around Miss Waters wais
and kiss her in tho highest style of tn,
art. To this request . firm refusal wa
$ returned. The lady professed her vii
lingness to carry out her agreement, II
far rs her cheek was concerned, ant
. even offered to give Mr.. Finch hi
choice Of cheeks, but she insisted tina
the contract would not bear the con
structon put upon it by Mr.. Finch, an
. that she would never submit to such
/ construction. Thereupon, Mr.. FinCl
in great indignation, left the hous'
t. and brought an action for breach @
contract against the lady,
:. This action raises several new an
interesting questions, among the mos
important OF which is, What const
