A FEW days ago four well-dressed
men entered a London travcrn and
had dinner. When the moment came
to pay they said that they had no
money with them, but would leave a
valuable diamond ring. a few days
later they called, settled the previous
account, had another dinner, talked
to the proprietor, and finally sold him
the ring for f55. He considered that
he had made good bargain, because
while it had been in his possession he
had taken it to Il jeweler, who pro-
nounced it to be worth f100. The
guests, however, had on their return
visit substituted an imitation fac

ABOUT eight months ago Elias Smith,
of Rochester, n. Y, while employed
on a building in New York city, fell to
the ground, shattering his arm in Il
fearful manner. The physician de-
sired to have the arm amputated but
Smith objected and had a surgeon take
out section of bone-of the humerus
about -four inches long. Then the
surgeon placed leather sockets above
and below the break, and got up n
double iron hinge on ench side of
the clbow--with which were connected
the sockets. 1t was at first thought
best to use II hinge inside the elbow,
but that wouldn't do. Now the bone
has grown again and already touches
the elbow Joint, the upper part of
which was taken quite away. The
muscles are all right, and with the
double iron joint for an elbow Mr..
Smith will have a pretty good arm af-
ter all, by and by.

Moses in the SOudan.

The Soudan is none other than the
Cush of the Bible, which the Septuagint
and the Vulgate render Ethiopia. When
Moses had arrived at mans estate,
Egypt was invaded by an Ethiopian
army, which successfully laid waste the
country as far as Memphis. In their
despair the Egyptians prayed to their
oracles for aid, and the advice they re-
ceived was that they should offer the
leadership of their armies to 'Moses
the Hebrew This they did The
great difficulty of the campaign was to
traverse the roads which led to the
Ethiopian camp, in consequence of their
being infested with dangerous serpents.
The willy Isrealite provided his advance
guard with a number of ibes in baskets,
and instructed the soldiers to let the
birds loose on the serpents. BY this in
genious expedient the roads were speed
lily cleared and Moses was enabled to
surprise the Philippians and defeat them
with great slaughter.
Carrying the war into Meroe itself,
Moses then laid seige to the capital,
Saba. The obstinate resistance offered
by the defenders prolonged the siege
for some time, but eventually the city
was delivered up by Tharbis, daughter
of the Ethiopian king, who had watched
Moses from a distance, and, from adj
miring his valor, had fallen in love with
him. The story ends happily with the
marriage of Moses and Tharbis. -Aner-

Gallmeyer's Goods and Chattels,

A curious exhibition is now being
held at Vienna, consisting of the goods
and chattels of Josephine Gallmeyer,
the popular actress, whose death oc-
CURED about two months ago. Two
rooms in the residence of Nine. Gall
meyer contain the articles exhibited, in
one of which only costumes are dis
played. They are ali genuine, and the
laces alone on some of the robes rep
resent small fortune. There are forty
two hats among the costumes. for each
of which the price of IS. is fixed. OF
more interest than the costumes are the
memorials of former days, which occupy
the ante-chamber and the drawing
room. The former is entirely filled
with artificial flowers, most of which
were Showered on the actress during
her tour in America. Another trans
| atlantic keepsake is an album, contain
ing criticisms of American papers on
her playing Among the large number
of portraits are those of Nine de Stael
and La Rookie, the latter with poeti-
cal dedication. In the large jewel case
there is bracelet presented by the En-
peror Francis Joseph, and among the
small ornaments there are good many
valuable pieces. AS a curiosity may be
mentioned bronze urn, containing the
dust of the flowers received by Nine.
Gallmeyer, and a number of pictures
representing the tombstones of great
men. The bed in which the actress
died is also Of great value, being richly
carved and ornamented with oil-paint-
ings. The whole collection consists Of
1887 objects, all of which will be sold
at auction in the course of this month.

u.ronic Lassitude.

There are certain characteristics con-
nected with a lazy man which are adj
mirable. They excite in the twanging,
lingling breasts of the nervously fidgety
q feeling which borders on respect and
is akin to awe. Your double-geared,
hdgety man will spin all day like a top
and run down in the cool of the evening
on the identical spot on which he started
off after breakfast. The man suffering
from chronic lassitude will keep still,
keep cool, keep in the shade, put in a
full days work resting himself, ard
arrive on time at shutdown: cool, calm,
and collected, without having once
sweat under the collar or laid a hair.
The professional lazy man seems to eat,
drink, and sleep with as much gusto as
his fidgety brother with the high-pres-
sure anatomy and patent double-cylin-
der, fast, perfecting hygienic apparatus,
who gets hot In the box, and wears and
grinds and cuts his life away like a
piece of misfit machinery. The fact of
the business is, the man of hustle wears
bus life away for the want of the oil of
rest The lazy man just soaks along
like a handful of cotton waste In the
oil cup Of a box-ear axle.-ScientJic

Revision Of the Jury system.

The Ohio Legislature, owing princi-
pally to the recent ruction at Cincinnati,
are busying themselves with revision
of the jury laws of that State. One
feature of the new arrangement, if
adopted, will be that the fact that juror
has formed an opinion of the case from
what he has read in the papers, will not
be bar to his eligibility as witness.
This will give the intelligent man a
place in the jury box where heretofore
only the most unintelligent were allowed
position. Another radical change is
that of per-emptory challenge. AT pres
ent the defense has the right to twenty
four per-emptory challenges and the
prosecution only two. The change will
give the defense six and the prosecution
four
The ease with which criminals avoid
punishment, through the present jury
system, has shown that further change
is necessary, and one gentleman has a
bill before the Ohio legislature which
says that in cases of high crime, two
thirds of jury can find a verdict of
guilty, whereby, under the present law,
the entire twelve must agree upon a YER
dict before the accused can be found
guilty. There is no question but that
these radical changes of the jury law
will meet with favor by the people of
this country, as they have become thor
oughly convinced that some more
stringent laws shall be enacted to save
the people from crime and more effect
ually punish the criminals. Ohio has
led off in the matter, and other states
will follow in the near future.

Webster and PerciYal.

Rev. Samuel W. Barnum, in the New
Haven Conn. Palladium, thus closes the
discussion about Beriah Browns story
of DIR. James G. Percival
have written perhaps sufficiently on
this subject, except IN reference to one
point. Mr.. Brown says: 1.-The great
fortune of Noah Webster in life and his
worldwide fame as the greatest lexico-
grapher of any age, are based solely
upon the unrequited labor of James G..
Percival, who died in poverty in a
miners cabin in western Wisconsin, I'M
wept, unhonored and unsung.'" This
sentence contains about as much I'M
truth as could well be packed into a
sentence of its length. | have shown
in q former communication that DR..
Webster devoted about ten times as
much labor to his dictionary as Dr. Per-
cival devoted to both the editions 1928
and 1S47)on which he was engaged, and
that DIR. Notwithstanding to his own
testimony as given in Ward S life of him,
and the account written in 1S47 by Pro-
lessor Goodrich and now inserted in
every Webster's dictionary unabridged
was remunerated for his service both
in money and honorable mention. His
unique house on Park street (Which he
never occupied), was built with his
money, under the supervision of his
friends, and sold as a part of his estate
after his death. AS to the last part of
this sentence, VIII NJ. c. Parsons writes
to me thus from Madison, Wis, March
10, 1884,
''How sadly Mr.. Brown blunders is
shown by this extract from The Galena
Qn) Advertiser, May 3, 1856:
Friday morning. May 2. 1S56,a the
residence of his friend DR. j. 5. Jenckes

Certainly this disproves that roman
tic tale of death in miners cabin, at
tended by the horrors of poverty.

of the Chapel street church-now church
of the Redeemer--in this city at his

little room in the old college chapel

repeatedly held their consultations over
the dictionary, was misprinted John

The Do NOthingS.

For the four months that Congress
has been in session, but little work has
been accomplished. The number of bills
introduced is considerable over six
thousand, and the committee finding
themselves flooded with work are doing
bat little IN the committee rooms, and
there the work is left to look after itself.
Being without leader who could push
business, the Democratic majority have
fooled away many weeks of time In
doing nothing. But three appropriation
bills have been passed by the House and
only one has passed both branches. What
the outcome will be, it is hard to tell,
but the fact remains that Unless there
is an all-summer session, the country
will not be much benefited by the first
session OF the Forty Eight Congress.
