A Vio]inist,s Chords.

A citizen somewhat remotely connect
ed with the city government not only
plays the fiddle sweetly, but he has I'M
bounded faith IN the power OF music
over the human mind. He has fiddled
dogs to sleep, fddled cats into fits, and
cured kicking horses of the vicious habit
in three lessons, but never until yester-
day did he have chance to try the soft
melodies on the ear of a drunken man.
He found chap sleeping off ten-cent
drink in an alley, and he skipped home
for his fiddle, and returned and took a
seat beside the sleeper.
His first attempt was to strike the
chord of Sympathy. After few scrapes
ofthe bow the sleeper s expression seemed
to grow sad, and he sighed so heavily
that the Other end Of his paper collar
was torn Oh. Then he struck the chord
of Merriment, and solid, silver plated
grin crept over the sleeper's face and
run down behind his ears. Then fol-
lowed the chord of Contentment, and
the old soaker settled down several
inches into the straw and dirt, and didn't
care if school never let out Now came
the chord of Despair. There was wall
from the fiddle, and the sleeper was
working up a splendid expression of

A "postilD BY Martin Luther.

We accidentally discovered in this
city, not long since, a t'postif' of Martin
Luther-that is, series of sermons
written by him to be read to congrega-
tions by ministers who were not COM
petent to prepare sermons for them
selves. 1t was published in 1882 by L.
Lufft, of Wittenberg, who, by the way,
was the printer of all Luther's works
during the lifetime of that reformer.-
The book is composed of three volumes
bound in one, the binding being full
calf with fancy brass corners and brass
clasps. The binding, either from age
or stain, has very dark brown mahog-
any color; and, although three hundred
and fifty years old, carries its age light
ly, being well preserved through all its
changes and mishaps. 1t is printed
from old German text in wooden type,
and profusely illustrated with highly-il-
Illuminated woodcuts, the illumination
being done by hand with very bright
colors and gold and silver leaf. To Us
the most Astonishing feature about the
book is the fact that these colors seem
to have retained all the brightness which
they had when put on-not faded in the
least. The same is true, too, of the large
fancy initial letters at the beginning of
each sermon. The gold leaf was used
principally in forming the halo about
the head of the Saviour, or on the urns
and other vessels used about the temple.
1t was also employed in decorating the
garments of the high priests and of the
Weather classes represented. These
garments are said to be of styles worn
I a,'c nd al-a
a very curious display.
Viewing the engraving as work of
art, simply, it is amusing to note how
literal the artist has been in his inter-
probation and illustration of passages of
scriptures For instance, the illustra-
tration of the passage which speaks Of
casting the beam out of our own eye be-
fore attempting to pluck the note from
our brothers. The Saviour is repre-
sented as directing the attention OF his
disciples to man at some distance who
is about to pick from the eye of another
something which looks like very small
pin, while from his own eye great stick
of timber projected diagonally toward
heaven.
The devil, when cast out in one in
stance, is shown as a sort of flying nom
descript with bats wings, vulture's
beak, and mammoth claws, these last
two appeendages being painted black.
while the body of the Ing ing Is green.
This ''postil'' came into the hands Ga
John Hartman, an old German, who
lives in Amelith. this county. He pur-
chased it in Bavaria, Germany, of q
Tyrolesc family, for the insignificant
sum of ten cents. in 1850. He himself
is a perfect bookworm, and we are told
that in his log-cabin at Amelith he has
old books of great value, they all being
of religious and moral character.-Bay

TRANSFORMING Teeth,

L performed an operation of trans
planting under romantic circumstances
on certain occasion. A young lady,
as pretty as peach. and a fine looking
young fellow came to see me one morn
ing. After no little hesitation they told
me they were betrothed, and that he
was in the army and was going away to
the plains for at least year, hunting
Indians. "And we are very unhappy
at parting" whimpered She Eyes, we
are,' almost blubbered he. eve heard

The Oontents Of a Oigarette.

Rocco is one of a half-dozen of Itali-
ans on Carpenter and Christian streets,
Philadelphia, who make a business of
buying cigar stumps from the horde of
youthful scaYengerS who live in the Itali-
an quarter OF this city. An active boy
or girl will collect half bushel of tho
stumps in an hour or so, the work be-
ING done between daylight and o.
clock. and between those hours all the
principal streets in the heart of the city
arc CLEANED The children receive no
fixed price for the stumps, but 10 or ID
cents a pailful is usually paid. The
buyers-men like Rocco-waSh the filth
lest stumps and spread them out 20 dry.
A day or so later they are crumbled in
to shreds and allowed TO dry for twenty
four hours longer before being packed
in flour barrels and shipped to New
York. A barrel of this stump tobacco
is worth $3.50, but few years ago,
when there was a strong demand for it
in Philadelphia, the Italian dryers re-
ceived q tritle more for it. The stumps
we're made into snuff in Philadelphia,
but when johnson & Carlins factory on
Third street, above Arch, was destroyed
by fire in 1873 the local demand ceased.
This filthy grade of tobacco is now
bought by manufacturers of cigarettes
and fine-cut chewing tobacco. A whole
sale tobacconist of many years expert
ence declares that when the stump to-
bacco is ground, bleached favored, and
made up in cigarette paper no one but
an expert can detect the difference be-
tween it and new leaf.

The Rapid Increase of Professors.

In this favored land the professor is
running the colonel pretty close race,
and the colonel may just as well
understand that he has to hump himself
or he'll get shut out at the distance pole.
Just after the close of the war the col
onel took such a start that the most
sanguine friends of the professor admit
ted that he could not catch up. But the
professor is one of the immortal few
that were not born to die, and while the
republic lasts, he will be on deck. Seed
time and harvest may fail, Summer may
cease and the Winter may not endure,
morning and even time may pass away,
but the professor will be here. This is
the country for him, and while it is
definitely settled by the last census that
the colonel is dying out, and that there
is now but one colonel to every thirty
seven of population, the professor is on
the increase and holds all that he gains.
The colonel differs widely from the pro-
fessor in that no reason is ever assigned
for his being. A man is simply called
colonel either because he was Z lieu
tenant in the army or never was in the
army, 1t is immaterial. He is just col
onel. that's all. But the professor claims
his title by reason of his profession"
whether ii be the cobbling of shoes or
training of dogs And as occupations
increase in variety, SO the professor in
ereases IN number

When he said that, vowed my lady fine
Should find him kneeiing at another shrine.

Unless they've other sweethearts to make

But when you chance to catch married one,
To fiirt is naughty. Then it's lots of fun,
Especially il you can make his wife

To capture him. / never tried SO hard
To make mash. And great was my success.

To show her she was hated Somewhat scared

THURSDAY, AUGUST 81, 1882.
Married.

& unique wedding took place lately
in Carlisle. The groom was Etahdleuh
!Doanmoe, a young Indian, once one of the
Cherokee prisoners at San Augustine.
Doanmoe while there fell in love with
little Indian girl of fifteen, and
brought her to Carlisle to be educated.
He said,-
s.She learn to study and sew. Now
her father is dead, who take care of
Laura Now think all the time. Think
by-and-by | find place to work near
here / work hard; I take care of Lau-
"a"
Doanmoe secured a position as assist
art in the Indian school, saved his mon
ey. and has q little store laid by for
housekeeping. The end Of his think
ings" was, that he married Laura, who
is now eighteen, an energetic, pretty,
modest maiden.
The wedding was made tete by all
the school. Some of the little Indian
Girls wove a mat of daisies ard grasses
for the bride and groom to stand upon.
Laura wore blown dress with white
rosebuds in her black hair. Many war
like tribes-Apaches, Sioux, Arapahoes
were represented by the grave, dark
faced little groomsmen and bridesmaids,
who took keen delight in their share
of the ceremonial. There was little
feast of cream, straw berries, and cake,
on the lawn after the wedding, at which
the Secretary of the Interior presided.
The next day, forty-three Sioux stu
dents, who have been four years at the
school, started on their return home to
Dakota. More than half of these young
people will return for two years more
instruction, after they have visited their
homes. Sixty new pupils will come
with them. making eighty Sioux in all.
There could be no stronger tie be-
tween the Indian Tribes and the whites
than these children at the Government
schools, who have been sent literally as
hostages of goodwill and peace.
/ The Indian, under his taciturn gray
ity, is pa5sionately fond of his children.
The pupils at both Hampton and Car
isle are usually the children of the
chiefs and head men, and the whole
tribe to which they belong take keen
interest in their welfare, and gather
around them on their return to hear
their account of how the whites have
dealt with them.
One such educated, friendly Arapahoe
or Apache. going back with the new
ideas and arts which nc has learned of
the whites, will counterfeit the Ill effects
OF many massacre and robbery OF liz
dams by the conquering race.

Wonderful Sun Tracings.

The Process of Solar Printing Adopted by the
Pennsylvania Railroad.
The Pennsylvania Railroad company
has adopted process of copying plans
and outlines so simple and yet so effec-
tive as to have an important bearing on
all the methods of engraving, litho-
graphing, photography, and even draw
ing as at present conducted. 1t is what
is known rs the "blue print process"
and is sort of easy photography, by
means of which mere child may copy
in the most perfect and exact manner
any object whatever, the lines of which
can be embraced in the dimensions of a
large pane of window-glass, for in
stance. Larger outlines can be copied,
but require more care and little more
apparatus.
A piece of pure, unlimited paper is TAX
en- and made sensitive" by means of
chemical wash, consisting of II ounces
of red prussiate of potash and Il ounces
of citric iron and ammonia, dissolved in
sixteen ounces of water. This, when
applied to the paper in dark closet by
means of broad cloth brush, gives a
peculiar rich, glistening, yellow surface.
This paper. when dry, is ready for
printing. Ii at this stage fern leaf is
taken or a few srr.ravs OF grass OF 3
feather or any drawing executed on
translucent material, such as onion-skin
paper, it may be perfectly copied in ev-
cry minute detail within the space eft
four or five minutes. The object is SIM
ply laid on the paper and piece of
glass laid over it to hold it in position
and then exposed to the meridian sun.
The yellow paper then turns rapidly TO
dull blue, then to a light gray, where
upon, at the expiration of about three
minutes, it is withdrawn. But one
thing remains TO be done; the sensitive
paper is given bath an pure water, and
instantly perfect copy of the fern leaf,
grass. or drawing appears on the blue
surface OF the paper, in white, as If
traced by hand. The philosophy of the
process is that the black lines Of the
drawing or the filaments of the grass or
fern are opaque. and consequently re-
fuse admittance to the light, which OPP
crates upon the open sensitive spaces,
causing them to undergo a chemical
change. AS utilized by railroads, iron
companies, ship-builders, and architects
and artists, however, in multiplying
their many maps and plans, and even
circular letters, the process becomes a
little more complicated. Instead of
merely placing the design to be printed
over the sensitive sheet, and leaving the
rest to the light, large glass frames,
with wooden lids, are used, inside of
which the drawing isplaced, face down.
ward, and covered with the sensitive pa
per. The frame is then reversed, leay-
ing the plan exposed to the light. A
full bright sun is not absolutely requis-
lite, but a longer time is required for ex-
posure on cloudy day. There is one
Photographic firm that uses the electric
light entirely. and prints by night as
well as by day. A stepfurther has been
made also in producing a white back

Girls in The Bath.

Several hundred young women and
girls splashed and swan about like so
many dolphins in the free bath house at
the foot of Almond street yesterday
The boys hold undisputed possession Of
the bath for four days in the week, but
Mondays and Thursdays no boy nor
man can approach within half a square,
for on those days the place is sacred to
the girls. On Monday there were near
~ 500 maidens in the bath. The female
attendant who looks after the baths on
those two days says that most of tho
girls who come to the bath are expert
swimmers. and half dozen of them can
easily swim mile against the tide. A
young miss who did not want her name
published said to a Record reporter that
she could swim faster than any boy of
her size who went to the baths. This
same young miss gave the reporter an
entertaining account of how the girls
enjoy themselves in the water. 1--WE
