fully and ably reported by Mr.. Joel Chandler
Harris, from stories that may have been first
told to children 10 mysterious Ethiopia. The
Negroes of the South have to-day, and had
even in the time of slavery, poetic and literary
impulse; their masters were generally incapa-
BILE of anything better than eoarse descriptions
of the grotesque life of the "poor white trash,
or anecdotes of which profanity was the point.
In literature, as in many other things, the
deeper buried is the pre-Emancipation record
of the South, the sweeter the surrounding res
pirable air. The past of the South is dead;
aud the best advice that can be offered is that
1t remain dead and allow the misguided section
to take new start, unbandioapped by the
evils that oyer-rode it.

The current number of the Mast
kazisches WochenJldtt contains a
description of new keyed instru-
ment just invented by Herr Wilhelm
Fischer, of Leipzig, to which he has
given the name of the adiaphon. In
place of strings, tuning forks are
used, which are struck by hammers
through the medium of the ordinary
mechanism Of grand piano. The
tone is said to be of remarkable
charm, and the instrument possesses
the great recommendation of never
getting out of tune.

A BOY WITH AN ALLIGATOR HIDE.

IA DO1 Wll1 AIN xAbJlSAION I1lDn.
DR.. Hamilton has discovered the
greatest living curiosity of the age.
Those who have examined testify
that it beats anything they ever saw.
The curiosity is in the shape of anatu-
raj human being, colored boy, eight
cen years of age, who was born of
slave parents near Grenada, on the
Mississippi River, in the State of
Mississippi. From the shoulders
down his skin is just like that of an
alligator. is thickly covered with
black scales, and the whole is as
pliable, though thick and tough, as
the hide on one of these animals. In
the Summer time these scales drop
off, leaving an indenture in the skin
where new ones form and grow on
again. His name is Moses Eskridge,
and he came here during the exodus
times with his father and stepmother.
IODeh'1 State journal.
A priest named Luigi Galimberti,
residing at Milan, Italy, is said to
have discovered the means of photo
graphy in natural colours and the
process for charging such photo
graphic productions to life size.
Another process said to have been
invented by him gives what he calls
phosphorescent pictures, visible at
night. The priest is so hampered
bypoverty that his experiments thus
far have been made at the expense
of and for the benefit of a few
personal friends

"Tarheel's" Effort.

A friend OF mine had occasion to stop
over night at little village in Michi-
gan. The night was dark and stormy,
and, having nothing else to do, l,e took
his night-cap and went to bel. For q
long time the bowling storm kept him
awake. The big feather bed seemed
determined to climb up over his head
and smother him, and he neditated 60

moment his meditations were interrupt
