4 STRANGE COINCIDENCE.

The oft-told story of the painter who painted an ideal picture of Innocence" frem the face of pretty child who sat as his model, and in his old age had will lainous-looking criminal sit to him for the model of picture of "Guilt" as cem- panion piece to the other, and discovered that the child and the criminal were the same person, has received some startling illustrations in real life. A convict dis charged from old Charlsstown state prison told the following remarkable story of himself to the warden of that prison:
 Some years ago gentleman, his wife and their only child, visited prison. They were shown through the workshops and prison by an officer, who pointed out the different objects of interest as they passed along. The gentleman was inquir- ing about man who had recently been sent to prison for life for murder.
 "By the way, this is the room, said the officer, stopping. before one of the cells, the door of which stood open.
 The little boy, with child's curiosity, stepped up and looked in. His father came up behind the child, and playfully pushed him in and closed the door.
 The little fellow shrieked to be let out The door was immediately opened, and the child ran sobbing into his mothers arms. She, brushing back the light curls from his forehead and kissing him, said soothingly
 'sNo, no 1; they shan't shut up my little boy in prison."
 The little boy was terribly frightened. He turned his eyes once more toward the dreaded cell, and for the first time noted on tho door the "No.@"
 The incident made 8 deep impression upon his mind.
 Time passed. He grew to manhood His father and mother were both dead He became sailor, and good one, rising step by step until he became second 1T command of one of the California steam CTS sailing from New York.
 But, like many others, in conaequencs of that vice which has dragged down SC many even from high positions, he los his situation, came back to Boston, sanl lower and lower, and was finally arrested for breaking into 8 store. He was sen fenced to state prison for four years. When received at the prison he wal taken to the bath-room-the usual custom l-bathed shaved and clipped; clothed in the prison dress and conducted to tn, room he was to occupy.
 Judge of his horror and consternatiol when he found himself standing before and the officer unlocking the door of th same cell, 'tNo. -," into which he when lad, had been thrust by his father
 In relating this story to me (says War den Haynes) he said no one could imagin his feelings when he found himself an in mate of that cell. Every incident an, scene from childhood rushed into hi mind; the exclamation of his mother 'sNo, no they shan't shut up my littl son in prison" rang in his ears, and h. threw himself upon 8 stool weeping, il utter despair and wretch edness. 7.t It is pleasant to see shining througl this strange story of circumstantial retri button the truth of the famous line ''There is divinity that shapes our ends. The convict became a religious man whil in prison, and years after his discharg rose to be an officer in the navy.

Luminous Paint may, we understand, be made by the following simple method :: Take oyster shells and clean them with warm water {; put them into the fire for half an hour; at the end of that time take them out and let them cool. When quite cool pound them fine, and take away any gray parts, as they are of no use. Put the powder in crucible in alternate lay CTS with flour of Sulphur. Put on the lid and cement with sand made into a stiff paste with beer. When dry put over the fire and bake for an hour. Wait un. til quite cold before opening the lid. The product ought to be white. You must separate all gray parts as they are not lu- minous. Make sitter in the following manner: Take pot, put piece of very fine muslin very loosely across it, tie around with string, put the powder into the top, and rake about until only the coarse powder remains open the pot and you will find very small powder, mix il into thin paint with gum water, as two thin applications are better than one thick one. This will give paint that will rs main luminous far into the night, pro- vided it is exposed to light during the day. y.-Mech0nicaI NeaUs.

HUMAN NATURE AND THE TARIFF.

The animated discussions in progress in both houses of congress over the tariff revision are chiefly notable for the dis plays they furnish of the weakness of hu- man nature. The republicans, with very few exceptions, are advocates of a tariff which will furnish protection for Amsri- can manufacturers and artisans against the greater capital and cheaper labor of Europe. The democrats are divided in their counsels, the maj jority protesting to believe in a tariff for revenue only, and regarding protection as an evil or as of only secondary importance. Senator Beck of Kentucky is an apparent free-trader and endeavors in every way to have the duties on foreign goods removed entirely or reduced to a point where their impor- tation would close American factories. He rssents indigantly the imputation that he is working in the interest of foreign man. ufacturers and against the interests of the workingmen of this country, but the fact remains, as Senator Dawes has shown, that his course in the senate is such as to delight foreign capitalists and to damage American interests. Nevertheless, MT. Beck has tender regard for the welfare of the Kentucky whisky distillers, and is 8 warm advocate of the bill to protect their supposed interests by extending the time for keeping whisky in bond. And SC of other senators. They are willing to reduce the tariff to any extent where the injury of the reduction will be felt chiefly in New England, or at a distance from their own homes, but wherever they have local industry which would be damaged by rednced tariff they are strong fol protection. Senator Vest is the latest in. stance, coming out for 8 high tariff on zinc, because Missouri is interested in zinc manufacture The Maryland sena- tors also favor high rate on bichromate of potash, because of the Baltimore fac tories engaged in this business. Senators Voorhees, and Pendlston call for the pro- tection of the glass industries of Indiana and Ohio. Senator McPherson of New Jersey stands by the Jersey potteries. Senator Jones of Louisiana, in other re. spects strong free-trader, goes for high tariff on sugar, by which g tax is imposed on every household in the country. Aud even Senator Bayard is reported as un
 willing to vote to take the tax off match es, because matches are manufactured ex- tensively in Wilmington and the manu- facturers do not desire the tax removed. . Hartford Couramt

After washing her hands slIe returned to the room to oreplace her rings, when, to her astonishment, one of them "a diamond ring, was missing. She was cef- tain that she took the ring from her fn- ger, and equally certain that no one could have entered the room without her knowl- edge during the five minutes she had been in the bathroom. A most rigid search was instituted, but the missing ring, val ued at $20O, was not found. A few weeks since the lady was much annoyed by mice
 Almost nightly they held their revels
 They not only destroyed her sleep, but choice laces were mutilated. The lady procured trap, one of the Old-fashioned kind, and, having baited it with tempt

One of them was so peculiarly constructed that 1t attracted her attention, as it appeared to have string tied around its body. The servant girl was instructed to drown the captives and reset the trap, and she was about to throw the dead raice

 All gay with life, all eloquent with bliss: What shall we call them ? Piles of crystal light?
 A glorious company of golden streams? Lamps of celestial ether, burning bright? Suns lighting systems with their joyous beams?
 But thou to these art as the moon to night.

FIRST USE OF ANTHRACITE COAL.

Anthracite coal was discovered in Penn sylvania soon after the settlement of the Wyoming Valley, but it's first practical use was by Obediah Grose in his black smith sbop, in the year 1768. In 1791 Philip Ginter discovered anthracite coal on the Lehigh. In 1902 Robert Morris, of Philadelphia, formed company and purchased 6, 1000 acres of the property on which Ginter discovered the coal. The coal company was called the Lehigh Goal Mine. This company opened the mine and found the vein to be 50 feet thick and of the very best quality of coal. The com pany made every effort to secure a de- mand for the coal, but without success, and having become thoroughly disgusted with their speculation, leased the 5000 acres of this mammoth coal field to Messrs. White & Hazard, of Philadelphia, for twenty years, at an annual rental of one ear of corn, Messrs. White & Hazard tried to use the coal in the blast furnace in 1926, but failed the furnace chilled. In 1882 Neilson conceived the idea of the hot blast for. saving fuel, and in 1883 Da- vid Thomas adopted the idea of the hot blast and anthracite together. White & Hazard had, previous to this, formed a com pany and bought the property. In 1889 Thomas made the use of anthracite for mak. ing pig metal success, by which the twenty. ears of corn were transferred into $20, ,000,. GOO. And this is the early history of the great Lehigh coal mines of the present day. remember we'll the banquet giver by Burd Patterson and Nicholas Riddle at Mount Carbon in 1a40, at which time they paid William Lyman, proprietor o1 the Pioneer Furnace, $5, 900, the premium they had offered for the first successful
 use of anthracite coal as fuel in the bias
 furnace. But David Thomas was the lior of the day. Commercial.

Saved his Child.

IT N. Eutaw St., Baltimore, Md.
 Feb. 12, 1860.
 Gents Upon the recommenda- ton of a friend I tried BROWNS IRON B1TTERs as a tonic and re- storative for my daughter, whom I was thoroughly convinced was wasting away with Consumption. Having lost three daughters by the terrible disease, under the care of eminent physicians, was 10th to believe that anything could arrest the progress of the disease, but, to my great surprise, before my daugh- ter had taken -ne bottle of BROWNS IRON BrTTERs, she began to mend and now is quite restored to former health. A fifth daughter began to show signs of Consumption, and when the physician was consulted he quickly said "Tonics were re- quired;" and when informed that the elder sister was taking BRowN'S s a IRON BrrrRRs, responded "that is agood tonic, take it.

PLAIN
 TRUTHS

The blood is the foundation of life, 1t circulates through every part of the body, and unless it is pure and rich, good health is impossible. If disease has entered the system 5 the onIy sure and quick way to drive it out is to purify and enrich the blood.
 These simple facts are well known, and the highest medical authorities agree that n0thing but iron will restore the blood to its natural condition and also that all the iron preparations hitherto made blacken the teeth, cause head ache, and are otherwise injurious.
 BROWNS IRON BITTERs will thor oughly and quickly assimilate with the blood purifying and strengthen ing it, and thus drive disease from any part of the system, and it will not blacken the teeth, cause head ache or constipation, and is posi- lively not injurious.
