A CURIOUS EXPERIMENT. "A cores
pom ent writing from New York. re-
lates the following curious expert
ment, which was trledin his presence
by small party of gentlemen casu-
ally assembled at the house of a
friend: "The heaviest man in the
house, who happened to be our host
the Rev. Mr., was put lying
down upon three chairs-his head
on one and his body and feet on the
other two. Then five of us each put
two fingers under him, one taking
the head, another the feet and SO on,
and at a given signal all took long
breath and lifted together. To our
amazement we lifted man weighing
200 pounds two feet from the chair,
with no more effort than if he had
been bag of feathers Two of the
lifters' were young ladies', and l
know all the persons present and am
certain of their honesty. After we
had repeated the experiment several
times, marked weights were brought
in and the lifters were asked to esti-
slate about how much strain they
nal felt when lifting the Rev. Mr..
One person, after trying diff
lefeht weights, estimated it at two
POUNDS, ,,onother at three, etc. Two
hundred i'unds distributed among
liVe persons yould give forty pounds

woman. to lift. ad no one, but an
athlete would attsnpt to lift forty
pounds with two liLyers. This ex-
pertinent may be trie' at any time
when five or SIX persons IRE present,

renewed her activities in behalf of the
suffering poor whose numbers had been
greatly increased by the war and it's
calamitous consequences. A society of
noblewomen formed itself in Vienna.
whose object was the relief of the desti-
tute; this society was composed of the
most esteemed, the most aristocratic
women of the "Koiserstaat', but they
considered their institution incomplete
and as robbed of the best discernment
and ability as long as Mrs. Won Arnstein
was not of their number. This was the
greatest mark ofhonor that could have
been bestowed upon the excellent lady;
every prejudice sank before the power
of her noble mind and active spirit.
She was not alone the only one of her
faith among all these countesses and
princesses, but she was also the only
lady not out of the first classes of mob
ility.

NJ. Sternburg as a Composer.
From the American art Journal,

NJ Constantin Sternberg, the Russian
pianist, has attained considerab BILE emf
nence as a composer, and his "Danses
Cosaques' are especially mentioned by
the German and Russian critics as being
an entirely new departure in the field
Of music, and decidedly and peculiarly
original. Herr Brahms has immortal
lied the national dances Of unfortunate
Hungary with weird beauty and grace
full abandon; and Chopin-Ah, we all
know how he has made the sweet, sad
strains Of unhappy Poland's melodies
familiar to every household, ana loved
by all; and Sternberg has made his first
attempts at doing for the, as yet, un-
heard music of his native land what
Brahms and Chopin have done for
theirs, and with every evidence of sue
cess. The national music OF Russia Is
characterized by wild, exultant freedom
from all restraint. 4 bold dashing
measure, with peculiar rhythm that is
very fascinating. When first heard, the
impression is, that, although melodious,
it recognizes no form Of harmony, con-
forms to no rules. 1t seems to dash
along, impatient of all restraint tearing
asunder with powerful hands all OBJ
stacles that obstruct its pathway, dane
ing hither like a delicate rose-leaf upon
the strong wings Of the WhiriWind. 1t
is beautiful, this dainty, rosy atom, and
it seems as if a breath would destroy its
ethereal loveliness. The wind tosses it
at will, now high in the clouds, then
with lightning rapidity to the earth
again, where it lies, only to be lifted by

FANNY Won ARNSTEIN.

Fanny, or F0gelche, as she was called
at home and in Jewish circles, was born
in Berlin on the 29th of November,
1857. When still very young she was
married to the Vienna banker, Nathan
Arnsteiu who was afterward granted a
title of nobility.
"A tall, slender figure, beaming with
beauty and grace, Of aristocratic air and
carriage, animated, ardent of expression,
uniting keen intellect and wit with a
joyous happy temper, well-read and
mistr IS Of foreign languages as we'll as
! own, she attracted much attention
anQ curiosity in Vienna. The character
Istics which were rot common among
women Of the higher classes were seen,
with much ast0nishment, as the graces
of Jewess, whose broad catholicism
and polish, these qualities which so
prospered under the fruitful reign of
Frederic the Great, t,-were naturally Of
much more influence in city where
they were still scarce but where people
had already begun to prize and feel a
want for them.
A pleasant home, filled every day with
numerous guests from all classes of So
ciety; the most tasty surroundings; the
most elegant hospitality; the meeting
of all foreign celebrities; the connection
of the pretentions and manners of nobil-
ity with those Of simple citizenship,
nay, not even that, but of quite excep-
tional rank; the unreserved hospitality
of an amiable, active woman who emily
ened everything about her: all this in a
capital in the center OF many st tes
and nations, where the greatest luxur-
iousnesS the most comfortable life Of
rry-making and good cheer united
with arristocratic distinctions and rude
prejudices but also with youthful sim
plicity and kindness were in vogue: let
these different elements be imagined in

that the house of Mrs. Won Arnstein had
for many years the effect Of a mission
ary establishment, that to its mistress
was ascribed an intermediation which,
without her, would never have been
brought about and whose innumerabie
consequences have flowed into and
mingled with the stream of life. Long
years the house of Mrs Won Arnstcin in
Vienna was, absolutely. the only one Of
its kind; and if later many othcrs-yet
none just like it-sprang into existence,
that is but another circumstance to be
credited to the energy Of this excellent
lady, through whom the path was first
opened and cleared form Instructions
for the others. The freedom, the
esteem, the position far above all COM
pulsions Of prejudice enjoyed to-day by
the Jews of Vienna, were, undeniably,
first gained through the impressive ef-
forts and management Of Mrs. Won
Arnstein.

could preceive no symptoms fore
boding a tempest. We had no
sunshine that day, it is true, but the
surface of the sea was as calm and
smooth as a mirror A seaman, however,
drew my attention to the horizon in the
east where lowering heap of brownish
clouds was frowning like a black mighty
tower which, according to his experience,
was the certain precursor OF violent
storm Although | cannot affirm that

had, however, not long to wait In
order to convince myself that our
captain was thorough mariner. With
out any visible transition of scenery,
everything chaneed with an almost
magic rapidity. Before seeing wavelets
we were surprised by gigantic, tossing
billows crested with spray and angrily
dashing against each other, and our yes
sci pranced and groand like frightened
steed Finding myself near the main
mast [ took hold Of the first hook [
could get, unable as | was to keep my
self upright, still less to gain the stairs
to the cabin. A hoWling blast engaged
in furious competition with the roar
ing of millions Of pillows as if trying to
outmatch them with its raging and
noise The blackness Of the night
heightened the dread Of the scene. An
endless waste of foam streaked the dark
abyss below, while dazzling flashes of
tightening broke it from above. Be
numbng peals Of thunder and terrific
roars OF battling sea were the features
/ OF the confounding spectacle. Every
! instant a bulk of water was thrown
upon the deck which bowed almost to
! the water-lcyel at the one extremity,
and rose to the clouds at the other. But
Notwithstanding this hurricane the poor
mariners were hard at work. AS il to
add to the horrors Of the hour, a heavy
/ hail shower poured down in such
amazing quantities that, had | not been

sheltered the mechanism of the engine,

discussions in the newspapers, threat
ened to check the course of this mani
fold development of life, yet served only
to stimulate it, A prince, certain
Karl Won Lichtenstein, was numbered
among the adorers Of the beautiful, tai
ented lady; his inclination swelled to
passion which was, at the same time,
mingled with so much respect that he,
on several occasions, urgently requested
her to become a Christian; to which
proposal, like all others Of vehement
nature, she, with discreet frmnes, refus-
ed to listen. A canon, Baron Won
WEIGHS, at the same time zealously
sought her favor; and attributing his
own i'll success to an auspicious term
ination of his rivals suit, cherished for
him the most implacable hatred; the
result was duel in which the prince
fell mortally wounded This occurrence
excited all Berlin; the noblest and most
influential families were concerned
therein, and the deeply shocked woman
who, entirely blameless, was the cause
Of this disaster, received the deepest
sympathy and consolation from all sides.
The court and the citizens We'd with
each other in paying her homage. The
most unequivocal proofs of the mag
nanimity, nobleness Of mind and self
denial with which she had treated this
affair, presented themselves. Thus she
could openly and with her whole heart
abandon herself to the tragical impress
sions which, it is said, she never, during
the remainder of her life, entirely over
came. Everyone respected her grief as
just and beautiful, and, without reserve,
she mourned the death Of the man who,
as her knight, had sacrificed his life.
I'VE remember to have read
in the travels of an Englishman
whose book is now not at hand,
says Vernhagen Won Ense, that
Mrs. Won Arnstein always consecrated
the death day of Karl Won Lichtensten
with solitary mourning and that she
spent such anniversaries in the confne-
ment Of black cabinet which was ded
icated solely to the memory of this de-
ceased and within whose precincts she
also, at other times, was wont to spend
many hours of devotion and seclusion.
No one can boast of ever having seen
this cabinet, yet the rumor of its exist
ence was universally current and was
considered as authentic. .
We touch upon the greater part of
Mrs. Won Arnstein's life when we speak
of her boundless benevolence, the tender
love with which she surrounded her
only daughter, Henrietta, who, with
her beauty, intellect and loyableness
grew up an honor to such mother
and when we make mention of her en-
thusiasm in the cause Of Autsria, her
adopted fatherland, notwithstanding
which, nevertheless, her faithful attach
ment to Berlin and Prussia effectually
survived. The word "countryman" was
sacred to her and was a sure passport to
her friendship and assistance. Innum-
cradle were the seeds of charity which
she streWed far and wide, with deepest
sympathy but also with wise discretion
and unwearied activity. To many a

The Austin Reveille says 1t is an old
idea of economy IN the part Of some BUSH

their advertising when times are compara-

slack and money scarce that the dealer
needs to address his most potent eloquence
to customers to show that he can make 1t
worth their while to deal with him. In
flush times the people are apt to give much
less thought to the question where they
shall purchase than when the pinching
season comes and they begin to estimate
the value OF quarters and dimes. 1t is
then that the columns Of the newspapers

The San Francisco Stock Report says
that in Arizona, New Mexico and Colorado
the average mining expert" is not
thought much Of, and they are fast even
losing confidence in themselves. Indeed,
when one reflects on the number of frst-
class mining districts which are to-day
producing millions which these so-called
~,'experts" have condemned, this is not
astonishing. They condemned Bodie, they
condemned Tombstone, and they con-
demned Leadville. They are astonished
TO find the theories Of the scientists at war
with the facts as demonstrated by the
hardy ~prospector and the honest son OF
the pick and CAD. Does not science tell
us that we must not look for silver in sand
stone, yet in the Silver Reef District,
Utah, there it is and in quantity, and has
been mined and milled at a profit. Neither
is silver to be found in slate rock, yet that
is Just where they find it in the Seventy

been found in it nevertheless. The miners
