sham Old Masters.

A well-known Paris picture dealer has
published an interesting and useful
pamphlet on sham Old Masters. He says
that the commonest mode of counterfeit
ing an old picture is to cover new one
painted, OF course, for the purpose
with certain transparent paste, which,
when exposed to slight artificial heat,
cracks and becomes brown. If sufficient
venerable tint has not been produced,
the canvas is washed with mixture of
lampblack and liquorice juice. The
picture is next exposed for some hours TO
the smoke of wood fire, and the loose
SCOT having been brushed away, is rub
bed here and there with q rag which has
been dipped in a very dilute sulphuric
acid. This operation gives a mouldy
appearance to those parts which have
been touched. The work is finally
sprinkled by means of u toothbrush ans
hairpin, with minute spots Of solution
of sepia in gum water, to initiate fly
specks, and it IS then ready for the
market. Signatures are initiated by ex-
perts, who are known as monogramists,
and who devote their exclusive attention
TO such matters; and one of these men,
who died recently, and was known to be
the author of the pamphlet, confessed to
the forgery OF no fewer than 1000
signatures Of the Italian masters alone,
and said he had for years made a large
income by the exercise of his art Nelc

A Shrewd Young Man.

His private secretary is Daniel S. La
mont, and if Cleveland is elected Presi-
dent. he will, without doubt, be his con
fidential adviser and private secretary at
the White House. Lamont is wonder.
He is small blonde young man OF
thirty-six, with sandy shair and nous
tache. He has modest personal ap-
pearance, dresses very neatly, and there
is no man in New York State, not ex-
cepting Samuel j. Tilden, who has o lar.
ger acquaintance with the Democrats OF
that State-and l might say with the
prominent Democrats OF the nation. He
is perfectly honest, knows man at a
glance, and the moment any one comes
into Cleveland's office he can tell what
his business is. lie signifies to
Cleveland by nod of his head what he
thinks Of the request about to be made.
he never loses his head, has been with
politicians all his life, and he has the
most exemplary habits. He never smokes
and never swears. He is inferior in size
and does not at first command the atten-
tion to which his abilities are entitled.
He is courteous and quick, is very friend
ly with the newspaper men, and gives
them all the news freely, with fair es-
innate of that which should not be re-
ported. 1t was Lamont and Apgar who
presented Cleveland to Manning as a
candidate for Governor to knock out Slo-
cum and Flower. Leader.

Where the Currents MingIe.

Nothing is more democratic than the
average American railway train. for it
represents every class and is no respecter
OF persons. The millionaire and the
lowest member of the proletariat may
possibly occupy contiguous seats. Peo-
pie who never by any circumstance are
found together in the same room jostle
against each other in the cars and show
what thin partitions divide the various
classes in this democratic country. II
that water which is constantly in motion
and whose particles come frequently in
diverse contact is always the freshest
and sweetest, why may we not carry an
analogy from it and say that the social
current also which experiences such con.
ditions is, in similar way, made the
better for it. 1t should at least be q
preservative against decadence and stag
nation.-1he Hour.

The Fool's Paradise.

Follett-What is the meaning of the
term Fools Paradise?"
The FOOLS paradise is q place where
the fool.killer buries his dead. As fools
cannot be considered as responsible for
their acts they cannot be punished in
purgatory, and yet they cannot be ad.
mitted into Heaven. They are therefore
consigned to place fitted up specially
for them, where they can ask each other,
as this cold enough for you" and all
such little intellectual sparks as that.
There is where those people go who
breathe in the barrels of the shotgun or
light the kitchen fire with kerosene.
People who enter this paradise enter
it with great rapidity, and generally in
fragments. The outer court is used
mainly for the purpose Of asserting and
classifying the remains.
This is also the home of the man who,
during life, casually sat down on buzz
saw to think of hard word.-BM Nye

Raising Horses.

We believe raising horses will pay
the farmers better just now than any
other kind of stock. We do rot mean
exclusively, but those you can raise and
feed win pay more profit for the outlay.
There is good market and the most
ordinary animal when it is young brings
500. and from that up to $500. Ten
years ago horses went begging at S25 to
500, but now most everybody has stop
ped raising them, and now they are
scarce with the market increasing.
Every farmer who owns good framed
large sized mare should not neglect this
matter. 1t will pay you well. This is
the season of the year for'breeding, and
the wise farmer should not let it pass
unheeded. .-CloUertiai RepieHe

manuscript in General Jackson's
writing. all relasing 10 this az.
fair" He summoned the propsga-
tors OF the scandals concerning her; he
made her case a topic of Cabine, dis
cussion; he threatened representatives
ot foreign governments with dismissal
on her account; he sent his own niece
away from the White House because
she refused to second his efforts in the
tabooef woman's favor. But is was
all futile. General Jackson's will
was strong" Mr.. Parton observes,
"but he discovered IN this accession
that woman's won't was stronger" In
spite OF all this fuming and storminQ.
the ladies resolutely refused to. have
anything to do with Mrs. Eaton.
When she appeared in cotillon at q
fashionable ball they would immedi-
ately retire from il; when seated next
to her at supper, they would quit the
table; when brought tete-a. tete with
her in conversation, thew wouli turn
their backs upon her and otherwise
manifest their utter disapproval or her
presence.
IL was this controversy over Mrs.
Eaton that really contributed more
than anything else To General jack
sous quarrel with Calhoun and drove
the latter into the notification project.
The Cabinet was convulsed anl hro.
ken up under the same pressure. And
it is unquestionably true that Mr.. Van
Bnren gained the presidency by sid
ing with Jackson in this matter. Mrs,
Eaton does not appear to have been q
specially remarkable woman in any
way, she was passahlv handsome and
intelligent. and her father had been an
old friend of General Jackson. When
Major Eaton married her she was q
widow. her first husband a purser In
the navy, having committed snicide,
| .aving her with two children and
very little fortune. According to the
hest testimony she was not in fact
wanton or Dad woman, but only
careless and indiscreet one. She liked
admiration and social excitement. but
was not given, We should say. to in-
trigue and calulation and the clrcum-
stance which made such a prominent
factor in Washington affairs were
principally accidental rather than of
her own choosing or causing. Itis
none the less true, however, that she
was the occasion of more contention
and more political maneuvering and
animosity than any other woman who
has ever figured in American history.
Soon after the close of the Jackson
administration she was again left q
widow, and rich one at that and she
continued to live in Washington for
many years in e.egant style, though
she never succeeded in overcoming
the old prejudices against her or IN
winning the measure of social recogni-
ton which General Jackson strove 30
hard and perseveringly to secure for
her. Near the close of her life, when
experience should have saved her
from such folly, she took third hus-
band in the period of a worthless
young Italian dancing master, who
squandered her fortune and brought
her in poverty and sorry to the grave
at the age of eighty-four years.

Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky,
recently related an in interesting Sc.
cret chapter of the political history in
Washington during the first days of
March, 1877. preceding the ipaugura-
tion of Rutherford B. Hayes. The
Senator stated, upon the authority of
the late lamented James A. Garfield.
that but for the great self-controI of
the members of both parties, and the
real patriotism of the Democrats. a
bloody civil war over the Presidential
count would certainly have broken out.
Senator Blackburn said that Garfield
told him that the leaders of the Re-
publican party believed at the time
that the Democrats would be able to
defeat the count, and leave the coun-
try, upon the 4th Of March, 1877,
without an executive. A conference
had, therefore, been called by the Re.
publican leaders, which was attended
by President Grant. the members of
the Cabinet, the General of the army.
and the most trusty leaders of the par
tv. At this conference 1t was agreed
that the army should he employed to
overawe and intirndate the tilliouster-
ing members. General Garfield, said
Senator Blackburn. hotly denounced
this revolutionary scheme, saying that
such an unwarlanted act would arouse
the whole country to pitch of mad
ness and that American blood would
flow in the streets Of every city. His
objections were dlsregarded by the
conference until he threatened to pub
lickly expose the revolutionary scheme
and denounce the whole thing to the
public. There is no question about
the truth of the story

Kerosene to Kill Insects-An Emul-
sion.
American Agriculturist for March.

American Agriculturist for March.
Since the Illuminating oil obtained
from petroleum, known in this coun
try as kerosene, and in England as par
affine oil, came into general use, it has
been employed with variable success
as an in sectitude. That it would de
stroy insect life was long ago estab-
lished; that it would also destroy
plant life was sometimes demonstrated
in a manner more convincing than
pleasant. The oil in It's concentrated
form, can be tolerated by but few
plants. The first improvement in its
use was to add a very small quantity
to q bucket OF water, enough to make
a mere film upon the surface; then
diffuse it through the water by violent
stirring, and apply before the oil and
water had time to seperate. This an
swered fairly we'll, hut was trouble
some. The next step was to divide
the kerosene, not by dlssolving it. but
by diffusing it In the form of an emnl-
sion. 1t is we'll known that oils may
be suspended in water by means of
gum, sugar, etc, and may be kept thus
for sons hours, or even DAYS. 1t has
been discovered that milk, either fresh
or soured, is convenient medium to
unite kerosene and water. Mix to-
gether kerosene and half as much
milk, stirring them thoroughly to form
a cream Ike mixture. When the two
are so completely united that no oil is
visible. dilute the mixture with twelve
times It's bulk of water. adding the
water gradually, and stirring thor.
oughly This emulsion has been found
useful in the treatment Of
the various scale insects, so difficult to
destroy by ordinary insecticides, and
is used for various other insect pests.
For trees use syringe or force pump,
and for house plants, often injured by
scale insects, apply with a sponge or
swab.

ANNIHILATED. A
Four Boys Blown to Atoms by q Pow
der Magazine.

OMAHA, Feb. 27.-Four boys, 10 to
II years OLD, while hunting south of
the city this afternoon, explod' d a
powder house containing over six tons
of powder. All four were blown to
atoms.
The victims of the explosion we're
Chris. Madsrn, aged IL; VIM Abney.
IL; WIN. Mallus, IL; and John SLitt,
10. The magazine was owned bv
Steele & Johnson, and located two and
a half miles south OF the city. The
shock was severely felt all over the
town. and the fire department was
called out. Buildings half a mile from
the magazine hal windows shattered
and doors split in two. Trees we're
leveled and torn as if raked with grape
and canister, and the branches left
hung heavy with the fruit of human
flesh, one head being taken from a
limb thirty feet high. 1t was the most
horrible sight ever seen in the city.
There is difference of opinion a.
to the cause of the explosion. The
Coroner holds an inquest Tomorrow to
ascertain the facts in the matter. The
loss is not much beyond the value of
the powder and human life.

Bad Record for a Medical College.
IN. Y. World.l

IN. 7. World.
The finding If the bodies of three
murdered negroes in the Ohio Medical
College of Cincinnati recall an incl
dent OF a painful character associated
with that institution. A few years
ago some citizens of North Bend, In
diana went to this college to search
for the body OF a neighbor which had
been "ourked." In the party was a
son of John Scott Harrison. His
father had died a few weeks before
but nobody supposed that his grave
had been disturbed. The searchers
found a corpse suspended by rope in
the "well' of the college connected
with the dissecting room. They drew
it up and to the surprise amt horror
of all it turned out to be the remains
of the venerable aud respec Led John
Scott Harrison. The affair created a
profound sensation and but for the
calm, cool advice of Ben Harrison,
now Senator from Indiana son also
of the deceased-serious popular pun
ishment would have been inflicted up
on the faculty of the college. 1t seems
a little strange that an institution such
as this would receive the bodies OF
three persons-all bearing marks of
violence-without going through some
form of investigation and this episode
is likely to increase the general preju-
dice that exist against anatomical de-
partment of our medical schools.
