We soon pass an immense house,
which was once a palace, but is now
used for other pur oses. Looking up.
We see that one OF the great windows in
the second story is open and a lady is
sitting at it. She is dressed in very
bright, though somewhat old fashioned
attire. Flowers and vines cluster inside
the window and there is a hanging
cage with a bird. As we stop and look
1t her, the lady does not move and in
1 few minutes We perceive hat the win
dow. the lady, the open shutters, the
sash, the flowers and the Gag are all
painted on the wal in a space where
you would naturally expect to find a
window.
This used to be a ~favorite way OF deco
rating houses in Italy; and in Genoi
we shall frequently see these painted
win .ows, some closed and some partly
open, some with one person looking out.
some with two, and some none. The
lady at this window has sat AMI looked
out on the street for hundreds Of years.
nder her window, into tho great
entrance of the palace, used to pass
MOBILES and princes. Now there are
shops in the lower part of the pala e
and you can have your shoes mended
by a cobbler in the courtyard.

A DEPARTMENT official in Washington
who had been suillotined by Congressman
Bragg's perseverance in following his
trail, called upon him at the Ebbit house,
and demanded of him why he had caused
the renewal Bragg said to him. You
are from my district | believe, and you
are probably aware that that district gave
a Democratic majority. You returned
there last election to assist by personal
effort in trying to defeat the Democratic
ticket, | have waited for more than three
months to see if you had the manliaess to
resign your place, and as you have exhib-
tied no pride OF character in this matter, |
have proceeded against YOU as a dishonest
in that you are willing to abandon
the professions of Your past life in an
attempt to be loyal to a party whose
principles you despise aud labored to
defeat. Standards Of action are clearly
defined. There is such a thing as honor
in politics, aud that you may be better
able to rightly understand this. il was
deemed advisable that you should have
sufficient leisure to study the mater.

WHEN a great man dies and is placed
beyond the reach of contradicting ane,.
dotes and Incidents that may be told COZ
corning him. all sorts of sentimental and
humorous stories begin to be circulated
concerning him. Abraham LINCOLN ia
made responsible for half the discreditable
old Joe Miller jokes Of the past century,
and that grand and loving nature is pre-
scented to the minds Of many as a mere
joker and buffoon. In truth, Lincoln did
illustrate serious subjects occasionally by
apt anecdotes or parallels, but they were
like the sweep of a sabre in cutting
through a sham.
just nov a gush of stories about Gen.
Grant is coming out. One very absurd
one represents Grant as coming suddenly
on an outpost near Vicksburg, and finding
that toe picket had not only been talking
with the Confederate picket but had swap
ped some Union tobacco for rebel coffee
The general asked if the coffee was good,
and tasting it in the tin cup, drank some
Of it and then rebuked the picket with a
Jest, etc, etc, etc. Now, the difhculty
with this story is that it exactly reverses
things. The ~ConiederAtes had tobacco,
and had no coffee. Tie blockade shut the
coffee out Of the south, and shut the to-
bacco in. Tobacco was the one thing that
the C~onfcderates had in plenty, and their
tavorite beverage was Il decoction from
parched corn. The Union soldiers had
good coffee, plenty OF it at all times and
in all places. 1t was easily carried; every
soldiers knapsack held its coffee and hard
tack, and after the long marches, a cup
of coffee was the first and often the only
sumulant and nourishment Uncle Sans
soldiers enjoyed.
To represent the Union troops as giving
tobacco for coffee is about like represent
ing this country as sending ivory and gold
to Africa, and receiving paper collars and
warming pans in exchange. And yet this
anecdote rests on this, for Grant drank
the rebel coffee The whole story is as
u5charactcristic of Grant as it could well
be, aad yet it is g%ravely published by pa
pers that ought to know better. Such
bosh brings a great man into ridieule
Little minds dwell on little things, and
George Washington's little Ratchet and
Abe Lincoln's little jokes stand in the
way o. a true appreciation of their deep.
earnest characters Let all true admirer.
Of Gen. Grant do what they can to make
an end Of this stopping over of bosh. Ii
will be better than any great monument
TO his momory.

Ii TAKES n long time for the truth TO
overtakc a lie, especially when the latter
refers to a political subject. Party organs
who publish the lie, are liable to overlook
he truth even when it is made apparent
90 them. The lying dispatch sent out
lrum Beaver in regard to the Judd mat
ter still keeps ON its rounds among eastern
newspapers, and editorial on
he same are numerous and interesting.
The following from the Hartford Post Is
a fair specimen
The appointment of a Colorado horse
thief to a Federal office recalls Horace
Grceley's epigram on the Democratic
party, Of which he became the preslden
ual candidate in 1872. Though it may
not be true that every Democrat is a
horse thief, yet 1t IL true that every
horsc-thief is a Democrat, was his re-
mark. IL is no wonder that a Demo.
cratic administration just coming into
power aud lacking experience should, in
the multiplicity Of appointments and re-
mOvals, become confused as to the two
classes-the Democrats who are not
horse-thieves, and the horse thieves who,
invariably, are Democrats.

The amount of reading matter printed
for tho blind is limited, and most OF
that in existence is in the various schools
and asylums. In very few institutions,
in fact, is the number of books suffi-
GENTLY large TO be called a library, and
such a thing as a private library Of that
sort OF any extent probably does not ex
list. Blind people are, therefore, as a
rule, deprived of the luxury OF reading,
and many who take a regular course OF
instruction at a school end their educa-
ton in graduation, save whatever they
may receive through the attention Of
others with good eyes,
i've young ladies of this city and its
vicinity, recent graduates of tho New
ork Blind asylum, have underta en- an
enterprise which, If it achieves even a
cry modest degree Of success, will con.
fer a reneit of almost i%ncalculablo ex.
tent on people who suffer a like mlsfort-
n with themselves. IL is no less than
the establishing and maintaining of a
circulating library, for the blind.

CURE ron l.

Piles are frequently preceded by a gcpse
Of want Of weight in the back, loins and
lower part OF the abdomen, causing the
patient to suppose he has some affection
Of the kidneys or neighboring organs. At
timeg, symptoms ofindigestion are present
fatulency, uneasiness of the stomach, etc.
A moisture like perspira.ion, producing a
very disagrceablc itching, after getting
warm. is a common attendant. Blind,
bleeding and itching piles yield at once to
the application Of DR.. Bosanko's Pile
Remedy, which acts directly on the parts
effected, absorbing the tumors, allaying
the intense itching, and effecting a per
manent cure. Price so cents. Address

"Mr. Fraser is in the parlor, ma'am. -"
I excused myself a moment, and
hastening to the parlor found Dick and

We hurried quietly up-stairs-I was
so glad Jeanette was out of the way

One of her trunks was gone, but her hat
and shawl lay upon the bed, and under
the pillow we found her Russian leather
handbag.

opening thai bag, and 10 he had no

all Miss Burton's jewelry, all that be-

and before 1 hardly knew what had
happened, we had astonished the group
at the supper-table. and pretty Mrs.
Graham was a prisoner.
Afterward we found proof enough
that her work was done on Sunday after
noon, while l lay asleep in the parlOr,
and the window opened at night by her
lively maid Jeanette to throw suspicion
aside
But we never heard any more either
