A New Book .

Fannie l.. Michener. the young
poetess Of this city, who died Decem-
ber Goth, 1882, at the age Of 16 years,
has left works that no doubt will 60
forth 70 the world for good. Scarcely
me re- than . child, through her own
energy and perseverance,, she had ~
complished much. Seldom, II ever,
has such been said in America of so
youthful q poetess. We give Ter.
although deceased, due merit for a.
tanning to such success in her writings,
which are Of that nature that cannot
help pleasing the mind of the reader.
Her plans are we'll laid and her de-
scriptions are beautiful throughout II
Ia quite remarkable for one so young tc
have accomplished 70 much in the few
short years Of her life.
Undoubtedly if she had lived sh'
would one day have ranked among tn
first writer's. The sale Of her work
have already met with marked succes
among the leading citizens Of this city
The writer now leaves 1t to the reader
to procure and search the pages OF thi
volume for themselves, feeling that the
will agree with him that 1t Is for on
80 young almost above criticism.

A Prof.ne Mans Punishment.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Dec. 1.-THE peo-
pie of Lee Township, in Brown County,
Indiana, are in state of excitement
over the case of James Lyman, who
was instantly deprived Of all sensation
q few days age. In early years he was
seaman and on ship board learned the
habit Of swearing. The slightest trifie
met with volley Of oaths, and the air
would be perfectly sulphurous with his
wicked declarations. One day last
week while experimenting a force Of
hands in making clearing, o silly
accident threw Lyman into an exces-
sive passion. Words more blasphemous
than ever before uttered rolled from his
fluent tongue, while he danced about
| In q perfect paroxysm. Suddenly the
| impious declarations ceased. Lyman
fell face downward to the ground and
was unable to move muscle, A
genuine thunderbolt or bullet thrOngt
the heart could not have paralyzed hi
senses quicker. Sight was destroyed
speech gone and motion impossible
After thirty minutes prostration he re'
covered slightly, but was unable to re
gain his lost speech. On the arms o
two strong laborers he was borne to hi
house, where he has since been restinl
in half-conscious condition.

Many curious forms Of fishes have
recently been found In the deep sea,
says contemporary. One fish, dredged
from depth of nearly three miles from
the surface, shows complete modihca-
tion of structure. 1t IL estimated that
this fish has to contend against pres
sure equal TO two and one.half tons to
every square inch of surface A sealed
glass tube, inclosed In q perforated
copper covering, has ct two miles been
reduced to fine powder, while the metal
WAS twist cd out Of shape.
Yet the fishes are 90 constructed that
they Withstand she pressure. Their
bony and muscular system are not fully
developed the bones are permeated
with pores and fissures. The calcareous
matter is at q minimum. and the bones
of the vertebrx are joined together 90
loosely that in lifting the larger fish out
OF tho water they often fall apart. The
muscles are all thin, and yet rhe con-
nective tissue seems almost wanting.
Yet these fishes are able to dart about
and capture prey.
Sunlight penetrAtes about twelve
hund red feet below the surface Of the
sea. At three thousand feet the tenn.
perature lowers TO forty degrees, Fab.
renheat, and from about the same, the
world over-just above freezing. How
do the fishes and other forms here see ?
Their eyes are modified as we'll as their
other parts. The fishes that live five
hundred feet from the surface have
larger eyes than those In the zone above
them, so that tbey can absorb the faint
rays that reach them.
In the zone below this, many formi
with small eyes begin to have tentacles
feelers, or organs Of touch. Many ol
these deep sea fishes have special or
gans on their sides and heads that ars
known to possess luminous quality
Other organs sre considered accessory
eyes, 80 that the fishes have rows O.

The Industrial Crisis im Paris.

Paris, Feb. IS,
The Committee for inquiry into
the state oftrade, which held its first
sitting to-day, examined this after
noon The delegates Of the ]joinerS, who
complain that the masters now im-
port their wood work, in a finished
condition, from Germany. There are
5000 j%oiners in Paris, only 1900 Of
whom, the delegates asserted, had
work. The municipal rate of pay
ment was soc. an hour, but the
rate actually paid by the masters was
SOC. The remedy for all these evils
was to put a customs duty on worked
wood. Another delegate said that
cooperation worked well in the join
ers' trade. Ills society bad doubled
its capital in two years. Concern
ing the necessity for cheap dwellings
one Of the delegates suggested the
rather drastic remedy of a tax on
houses without tenants.-Ibjd.

Germany and the United States.
Berlin, Feb IS.

~
A few days ago | reported to you
that Mr.. Sergent, the United States
Minister, had handed to the relatives
of DR.. Lasker here the resolution OF
the House of Representatives express
ing coincidence, on the death OF that
eminent German statesman" and
had also given q copy to Count
HalzipIt, of the Foreign Office, with a
request TO communicate it to the I'M
perial Parliament "Of winch the de
ceased was a member" said at the
time that this singular request was
sure to have a bad effect on the minds
of the ruling powers here, and my
prediction is now borne out by the
Cologne Gazette, which states hat the
Chancellor has actually sen back
this communication to Herr Won
Eisendecher, German Minister at
Washington, with a cOunIcr-requeSt
to return it to the Foreign Office
there for rctransmi>siOn TO the House
of Representatives, as 'the position of
DR.. Lasker in Germany was not such
as to justify the intervention OF the
Imperial Chancellor in the way de-
handed"
At first sight, this may seem utter
" incredible but the form in which
the statement was made leaves no
room for doubt as to its truth, and
the incident, moreover, is quite cha,
rateristic of It's main author. AS 10
how the ChanceIIor's repartee will be
viewed on the other side OF the At
lantic there can also be no doubt.
The fact is, the relations between
Washington and the Wilhelm-strasse
IRE at present in q state Of very con
siderable tension; and it WIS only
yesterday evening that Prince Bis
marck's personal organ plainly thren-
tened the American Government with
reprisaIs, should Congress persist in
taking revenge for the exclusion OF
American pig-fesh from Germany,
