Sacramento daily record-union. [volume] (Sacramento [Calif.]) 1875-1891, 1881-08-20

In the year 1889 French traveller on
Mount Athos discovered an amazing num-
Der of pictures on the walls of monasteries
and churches which had been painted on
one plan and apparently by one hand.
Finally he saw pictures being finished. A
monk named Joseph and his five assistants
painted Christ and eleven Apostles be-
fore his eyes in the space OF an hour, and
without cartoons or preliminary drawings,
or tracing the outlines on the wall. This
was the way: One pupil spread the mortar
on the wall, the master drew the outline.
another laid on the colors and completed
the forms, younger pupil gilt the glories,
added the ornaments and wrote the IN
scriptions, which the master dictated by
memory lastly two boys were full occu-
pied in grinding and mixing the coiors' +.
G. Stephens uses this discovery by Didron
in his address on "The Development OF
Genius in Early Italian Art, " which is now
appearing in the Portfolio

rHE SACRAMENTO .wsEKIY UNION .

Was established in 1851, and has been con-
tinuously published ever since. Unlike the
old-time weeklies, it is issued twice each
week in eight-page parts, making up weekly
issue of sixteen pages. The day of the old
style weekly news journal has gone by. Such
ancient methods no longer meet the demands
of the age. The WEEKLY UNION, moving
with the advance systems, is by its semi
weekly issue able to keep pace with the news
of the day, and give its readers the news
the very latest than is possible to the journal
issuing but once each week. The WEEKLY
UNION is issued from the office of the DAILY
RECORD UNION, at Sacramento, the capital
of California. 1t is a news, business and fam
lily journal. and enjoys a larger and more
widely distributed circulation than any
weekly paper on the Pacific slope. Its edi-
torial department moves upon the highest
plane and in the front rank of advanced
thought. For vigor of utterance, holiness of
position, scholarly finish and lucidity of idea,
its editorial department has no peer in the
country.
Its agricultural department, specially pre-
pared for the paper, is edited from the stand
point of the highest intelligence, longest ex-
perience, and most practical knowledge in
agriculture, and at once commends itself to
the farmer, viticulturist and horticulturist as
the best and most desirable local authority,
The WEEKLY UNION in its literary depart
ment presents original stories command
ing the best literary talent among
writers in Europe and America. 1t
presents departments for the household,
the studio, the laboratory, the garden,
and the puzzler. and gives the latest news of
discovery and progress in the mechanic arts,
science, engineering, decorative art, music,
etc. 1t also has regular departments of re-
view of the latest publications of the day
of correspondence from New York, Wash
ngton. London, Paris, the Orient and the
leading cities Of the Pacific coast; of the
stage, the fashion world, etc. Its telegraphic
news is the best obtainable in the world, and
include the home, Eastern and foreign dis
patches of the Associated Press of the United
States, and the Associated Press of the
Pacific coast. It gives weekly commercial
reviews, and the latest merchandise, stock
snd produce and financial quotations. The
WEEKLY UNION is beyond all question the
completest newspaper on the coast for the
home, farm, shop, street, Office and business
exchange. 1t is mailed to any address,
postpaid, for 50 80 per year, including its
annual mammoth holiday edition. which ap-
pears on the first day of each year. Address,

CUNNING OF The HUmmING-BIRD.

A friend has informed me of an instance
in her experience where the humming-b
has shown more cunning than its little
BRAN would seem capable of manufacture
ing. The incident occurred in Vinelsnd,
New Jersey. In an unused apartment of
the house where the lady was staying,
one of the huge spiders common in that
region had built its strong web unmo-
Tested. Passing into the room one sum.
mer day, she spied ruby-throat, which
had flown in through the open vineclad
window, struggling frantically in the net
of Dame Arachnid. The more the bird
huttered, the worse were his filmy wings
entangled and fettered in the spiders
meshes aud unless help had been given
there is little doubt how the catastrophe
would have ended. The lady hurried to the
relief of the piteous prisoner, and handling
it with the utmost care, freed it from the
coils fastened to its feathers and binding
its feeble members. As the bird lay in her
palm at the end of the operation, it gave
two or three gasping breaths and was
still. Every muscle relaxed as In oissolu-
ton. The kind-hearted liberator suffered
a pang of distress from the conviction that
she had killed the delicate creature by too
rude touch. After some moments of
fruitless mourning, she laid the limp body
down and turned sadly away. Quicker
than thought the little trickster unfurled
its wings and shot out OF the window.
Had it swooned from fright in the lady 8
hand, and recovered with the change of
position? or had it actually feigned
death, in order to facilitate escape, as some
larger birds are known to do!

We had very interesting interview
with John Irwin, who has spent several
weeks at the Tecolotina mines, and from
him we learn that the prospects are very
favorable for a lively camp there in the
near future. Mr.. Irwin is an old miner.

iona and Colorado, and is not carried
away with :" booms." He says Mineral
Hill and the adjoining country looks we'll /;
that the ore will not be high grade, but
the quantity and the unusual facilities for
working will make the low grade ore re-
munerative. He thinks the ore will not
run over $50, while if it reaches $50 he
will be satisfied. He has made arrange
ments to stay with it the coming winter,
and will sink shaft deep enough to test
the claim in which he is partner. Taken
altogether, we are of the opinion that "the
Optics dead baby" is a very lively corpse,
and with few such nurses as Mr.. Irwin
it may yet attain a good old age Mora

with cares, for no one ever finds excuse for
the minister's wife who neglects what is

must always be cheerful and sympathetic,

ago in her old home to pay her call and
found her ironing and in tears. So what
did he do but cheer away the tears and

Grasshoppers. supposed to have come
mainly from Persia, are causing much
damage to Turkey, and the Government
has been compelled to take extreme meas
ures to stay the plague. In the Bodirum
district the whole people have been ordered
out to destroy the insects, and at Angora
the inhabitants were compelled for three
days to give no all ordinary business and
devote themselves exclusively to the slay-
ing of grasshoppers. Every one was
obliged to bring in half hundred-weight
of dead insects to the government officials.
In the regions of the Caucasus devastations
similar to those now going on in Turkey
occurred some time ago.

About month ago +. A. Learett, of
Oakland, an engineer in the employ of the
Central Pacific Railroad Company, and
stationed in Arizona, was seriously scalded
by the overturning OF his locomotive, and
one of his legs was so badly injured that
the flesh fell away. The attending physi-
clans told him that il his friends would
each contribute small piece of flesh they
could repair the limb and restore it to Its
old usefulness. The statement was widely
circulated, and twenty eight of his fellow
workmen volunteered and bravely barred
their limbs to the surgeons knife. The
transportation of flesh was successfully
made, and to day the leg looks almost as
natural as does the unipjured memb
The heroic act of the men was duly re-
warded. The railroad company hearing of
the case, leave OF absence was given and
two months extra pay was ordered paid
to each of the men.

IN ARABIA.

" Chose thou between :" and to his enemy
The Arab chief brawny hand displayed.
Wherein, like moonlight on sullen sea
Cleaned the gray cia eters enameled blade.
" Choose thou between death at my hand and
thine
Close in my power, my vengeance may wreak
Yet hesitate to strike hate like mine
Is noble stu. Thou hast thy choosing
speak !"
And Ackbar stood. About him all the band
That hailed his captor chieftain, with grave
eyes,
His answer waited, while that heavy hand
Stretched like a bar between him and the skies
Straight in the face before him Ackbar sent
A sneer of scorn, and raised his noble head;
70 Strike I" and the desert monarch, as content,
Rehuug the weapon at his girdle red
Then Ackpar near crept and lifted high
His arms toward the heaven, so far and blue,
Wherein the sunset rays began TO die
While DER the band deeper silence grew
u Strike I am ready, Didst thou think to see
A son of Ghera spill u-on the dust
His noble blood: Didst thou hope to have my
knee
Bend at thy feet, and with one mighty thrust,
The lie thou latest flee before thee here
Shame on thee on Thy face art thou the oue
Who hast so long thy vengeance counted DEAR
Ny hate greater; did strike thy sou.
Thy one son, Noumid dead before my face.
And by the swiftest courser OF my stud
Sent to thy door his corpse. Aye, might
trace
Their fight across the desert by his blood.
Strike for my hate is greater than thy own -
But with Il irown the Arab turned away,
Walked to distant palm that stood alone,
With eyes that looked where purple mountains
lay.
'Tis for an instant then he turned again
Toward the place where Ackbar waited still,
Walking one benumbed with bitter pain,
Or with hateful mission to fulfill.
" Nay, but my hate cannot find :" said nov
His enemy. "Thy freedom restore.
Live; life were more than death to such as
thou.'
So with his gift of life the Bedouin slept
That night untroubled but when dawn broke
through
The purple east and DER his eyelids crept
The long, thin fingers of the night, he drew
heavy breath and woke above him shone
lifted dagger" ca, he gave thee life,
But give death !" came in fierce undertone.
And Ackbar died. 1t was dead Mounds wife.

that the water in certain hot splng was

A negro boy whose skin is turning white,
spot after spot, has frequently been exhib-
tied in New York. The change began
several years ago, and continues steadily.
A little negro girl at Lafayette, Ala, has
also begun in the same way to turn white,
and in her case the hair is also bleaching.
