An Artists Death. Bed

John Pope, the artist, died in New
York short time ago. His death bed
scene was remarkable. His wife was
watching by his side when suddenly he
said: Quick! give me my palette and
brush. must paint. Don't attempt to
stop me now, for have just discovered
the art through the influence of visions
OF exquisitely graduated music. 1t is
plain as day at last !" His wife,
alarmed at his excitement, made a
weak attempt to dissuade him, but as
opposition only increased his excite
ment, and it was evident that death
was very near, she humored him. His
paints, brushes and canvas were brought
to him, and his fearful relatives ar
ranged the coverings of the bed so that
they would look more like the drapery
of his studio. He began his work with
haste amounting almost to frenzy.
"At last, at last" he cried, 81 have
found the beauty which all my lie and
over all tho world have been struggling
for" He painted faster and faster, evil
GENTLY believing that the canvas would
show the beauty that he conceived, al
though it was in truth a sad realization
of the conception. 1t was late in the
day when he begat his death-bed pic
ture. 1t grew darker and darker as he
went on, and his sorrowing family sat
around him powerless TO ease his last
moments. At last it grew so dark that
even he in his excitement noticed 1t.
Let US 60 to the studio" he cried, sud-
denly. mo, no; not tonight. Wait
until tomorrow" 1--WE must go to the
studio" he exclaimed, making an effort
TO rise TO his feet. The tax upon his
strength was too great; without another
word he fell back on his pillow, dead.

Anger.

The Emperor Nerva died of violent
excess of anger against senator who
had offended him. Valentinian, the first
Roman emperor of that time, while
reproaching with great passion the
deputies from the QUAD, a people Of
Germany, burst a blood vessel, and
suddenly fell lifeless TO the ground.

French medical writer, 1.-TWO women
perish, the one in commissions, at the
end of six hours, and the other suffo-
c" ed in two ays, from giving them
selves up to the tran 'orts of fury"
The celebrated John dunter fell a
sudden victim to paroxysm of this
passion. Mr. Hunter, as is familiar
to medical readers, was a man of ex-
traordinary genius, but the subject of
violent anger, which, from the defect
of early moral culture, he had not
learned to control. Suffering during
his latter years under a complaint of
the heart, his existence was in con-
slant jeopardy from his ungovernable
temper; and he had been heard to re-
mark that :" his life was in the hands of
any rascal who cho]e to annoy him"
Engaged one day in an unpleasant alter
cation with his colleagues in the board
room at St. Georges hospital, London,
he was peremptorily contradicted; he
Immediately ceased speaking, hurried
into an adjoining apartment, and in.
stantly fell dead.
When the fit of anger is of long con-
tinuance, or frequent recurrence, it f-e-
quently lays the foundation OF some
most serious and lasting atIl Ilictions !;
thus many cases of palsy, of epilepsy, of
convulsions and of madness may be
traced to violent anger and ungovern-
able temper. DR.. Good cites the
case CT Charles VI, of France,
who being violently incensed
against the Duke of Bretagne, and burn
ing with a spirit of malice and revenge,
could neither eat, drink nor sleep for
many days together, and at length be-

striking promiscuously every one who
approached him. The disease fixed

Creeping Things.

The sight OF certain creatures is
enough to give US crawling" sensa.
tion. Bare memory of them must be
enough to any person who has Travelled
in Australia. Jesse Young, the explorer,
talks very coolly, however, about the
bug and snake creation in that queer
cline. He says:
The reptiles are really very beautiful;
crocodiles in the North, and snakes, liz
ards, scorpions and centipedes in the
South. l shall not readily forget the
sensation l experienced when one night
a huge black centipede, eight inches
long, crawled upon my neck with his
horrible sixty-four legs, and made his
way TO my feet leis lrely, much to my
disgust, and though he was probably
only few seconds, thought him slow.
He is in the museum at Adelaide, with
all the whisky he can drink.
Insects are wonderfully prolific
mosquitoes and flies being particularly
abundant. The native children ar
sometimes hardly recognizable, so COM
pletely are they covered with flies, filling
their eyes, noses and mouth.
When eating it requires a dexterou
maneuvering to get u piece Of meat into
ones mouth without its complement OF
flies.
Spiders are very common. as also are
ants, the tarantula being the most for
midable of the former, and the bulldog
ant the worst species of the latter. These
ants arc an inch or more IN height, and
about two inches long. They all fight
fiercely, and their sting is not at all %
be desired. They catch hold of your
skin with their nippers, bend the body
under like a scorpion, and put the sting
gently in, leaving the venom, and some
times the sting itself. When camping
near nest of them, we generally thrust
fire-stick In the hole. which has the
effect OF keeping them nt home.

A Volcano bv Night.

A correspondent of the New York
Tribune gives an account OF the erup-
tion OF Mauna Loa, the only active vol
cano Of the Sandwich islands: Describ-
ing the striking scene by night, he
says: A great smoke, highly illumina-
ted, was ascending over the southern
slope of Mauna Loa, in the direction of
kilauea. The clouds to the west OF the
mountain were almost aflame with light
reflected from the Kau flow, Whicn
could not be seen from this point. Right
in our faces, with not a cloud to OBJ
struct our view, was the burning noun
tain side. In the summit era
ter the dense smoke, glowing
with the light of the mol
ten material. was surging back and
forth like billows OF FIRE, while now and
then n small fountain of lava would be
thrown above the level OF the brink,
showing what boiling, seething mass
was below. Lower down were immense
pits and openings, in which the liquid
ava itself could seen moving, a
though endeavoring TO break down the
walls between, and gather its forces for
more destructive work while in various
directions deep fissures could be marked
by the spots OF light that were probably
openings in the crust above the fissure
One of these was particularly striking, IL
being a long line of faint lights from
the su ummit, terminating in a great ball
of burning lava, rs though an evil eye
from the internal regions were glaring
at US across the black distance. Still
lower down and moving along the flank
OF the mountain, at a very slight angle
OF declination, was a moderately-sized
lava flow that has since attained con-
siderable proportions. It was without
doubt five miles in length, and as the
lava seemed to accumulate in a small
lake, watched 1t all night, thinking 1t
might burst out in n large stream di-
rectly down the mountain side. But
my vigils were futile, and the day came,
and with il hard tramp across the old
lavas to the new flow.

The Seven Chums Who Became Senators

Seven young men, early in the war,
says Washington letter, were board
ers Mt the Burnham house in Omaha.
They were all pushing, driving men.
Six of them were inseparable compan-
ins. The entire company separated in
the early days Of the war, only to meet
afterward as members of the United
States Senate. The six companion were
William Pitt Kellogg, Spencer, ex. SEN
ator from Alabama, Saunders and Pad
dock, prominent Senators from Me-
braska, and Hitchcock and Merrill, ex-
Senators from Nebraska. The odd man,
who was also a boarder at the same
house, was Upton, also ex-senator from
Nebraska.
At the time of the breaking out OF the
war, Saunders was governor of the Ter
ritory, Kellogg was chief justice, Pad
dock was secretary of the Territory,
while the others were interested in
various ways in the development of the
Territory. Nebraska raised a regiment
at the outbreak of the war, and Merrill
was its colonel. There was great trouble
about appointing chaplain. Upton,
who was afterward Senator, was a can
didate warmly pressed by a band
of devoted friends. A slight-of-hand
performer, local lecturer, was
also hot contestant for the place.
Saunders, the governor, who had the
power of appointment, finally, to avoid
embarrassment, left the decision TO the
Federal officials. They assembled with
Pitt Kellogg at their head. These lively
young men decided to have the two can
didates preach sermons in competitive
examination. This was done in the
presence of large crowd. Upton
preached half an hour against an equal
time by his opponent. There was no
zeal contest. Upton was really a pious
man, while the other was a charlatan.
Upton secured the award. Through
his services during the war, and his
careful nursing of sick and wounded
soldiers, he so endeared himself 10 the
people Of Nebraska that they made him
United States Senator after the war
closed.

A Youthful Warrior.

The youngest soldier in the Union
service during the war was doubtless the
only son of Jacob w. Messick, now
member of the legislature of Indiana.
He enlisted as sergeant in Company A.
Forty-second Indiana, and took with him
his son Johnnie, then but nine years OF
age, Is drummer boy. The lad wab
present at every action in which the
regiment was engaged, and was at the
last duly mustered out at the mature
age Of twelve years.

Sunlight.

The sun, ii you will only open your
house to him, is faithful physician,
who will be pretty constant in attend
ance. and who will send in no bills.
Many years ago glass was something Of
luxury, but now we can all have good
sized windows, and plenty of them, at
moderate cost, and there is no excuse for
making mel c loopholes, through which
the sun can cast but half an eye, and
from which one can gain only narrow
glimpses of the beautiful outer world.
am sufficiently acq TAINTED with the
conser vative charactir Of many country
people TO know that expressions of dis
dain will come from some quarters
when mention bay windows. Never.
th eless bay windows are a good thing.
Their effect is very much like letting
heaven into ones house, at least ought
to be like that, for it is nothing but
absurdity and wickedness TO darken
such windows with shutters or heSvy
curtains until only struggling ray of
sunlight can be seen.
II bay windows are too expensive a
very desirable substitute can be had by
placing two ordinary-sized windows
side by side, with a wide, capacious
ledge at the bottom for seats or for
plants. A room with window like
this can but be cheery, and its effect in
simple cottage house is quite sump~
tuous. There is likewise in its favor the
fact that it is less exposed than the deep
bay window to outer heat and cold.
In kitchen, or a child's bedroom, or
in an attic where The walls are low, two
half windows set side by side, and made
to slide or to open on hinges, admit a
broad, generous light, and give an
apartment a pretty and pleasing rustic
air.
Let the builder erdeavor to have all
rooms in daily use. especially bedrooms
and sitting-rooms, we'll lighted by the
