In a communication by NJ. Bertheloi
to French scientific journal on the
magnificent purple of Tyre, 50 highly
priced by the ancients, it is said that
according to tradition the color wa:
discovered by accident A shepherds
dog found shelI-fsh on the sea shore.
In crushing the shell he cut his
mouth, and the blood, mingling with
the juice of the mollusk, gave the
splendid purple which was subse-
quently applied to the dyeing of stuffs.
No other color has been held in such
high esteem. The King of PhPnicia
was so charmed with its beauty that
he forbade his subjects to use it, re-
serving it for kings and heirs presump-
tive to the crown. Moses adopted il
for ecclesiastical purposes, the vest
ments of the high priests and the
ornaments of the tabernacle. At that
early period the art of dyeing must
have attained a great degree of perfec-
tion. Among the Romans the right to
wear the purple belonged only to great
conquerorS; afterwards it was assumed
by emperors. In more modern times
the purple robe has been reserved for
the highest dignitares of the church,
whence the expression "Roman pur-
pie" to express the dignity of "Cardl-
nal" NJ. Lacaze-Duthieres, of the
French Institute, regards the ancient
legend as probably true history, at
least so far as this: that the bleeding
mouth of the dog led to the discovery
of the shell-fsh from which the an
clients extracted their color. For
long time much uncertainty existed as
tothespecies ofmollusk so employed,and
many regarded the secret as lost. But
shell fish possessing all the characters
tics by which the ancients designated
the animal have been found on the sea
coasts of England and France, and II
they are not now made to serve the
purpose it is because means have been
found to produce the color from cochi
neal at less cost.-CulttcdtoT.

Panic stricken TroOps At shllOh.

From General Grants account OF tne
battle of Shiloh in the Century we
quote the following: "The nature oil
this battle was such that cavalry
could not be used in front; Therefore
formed ours into line, in rear, to stop
stragglers, of whom there we're many.
When there would be enough to make
a show, and after they had recovered
from their fright, they would be sent
to reinforce some part of the line
which needed support, without regard
to their companies, regiments OF
brigades.
"On one occasion during the day.
rode back as far as the river and met
General Buell., whohad just arrived;

but az that time there probably were
as many as four or FIVE thousand
stragglers lying under cover OF the
river bluff. panic stricken, most OIL
whom would have been shot where
they lay, without resistance, before
they would have taken muskets ana
marched to the front to protect them
selves. The meeting between General
Buell. and myself was on the dispatch

threatened them with shells from the
gunboats near by. BUTT was all to no
effect. Most Of these men afterward
proved themselves as gallant as any of
those who saved the battle from which
they had deserted. Ihaveno doubt that
this sight Impressed General Buell. with
the idea that line of retreat would
be good thing just then. If he had
come in by the front instead of through
the stragglers in the rear he would
have thought and felt differently
Could he have come through the
Confederate rear, he would have
witnessed there a scene similar to that
at our own. The distant rear Of an
army engaged in battle is not the best
place from which to Judge correctly
what is going On in front. In fact,
later in the war; While occupying the
country between the Tennessee and
the Mississippi learned that the panic
in the Confederate lines had not differ
ed much from that within our own.
Some of the country people estimated
the straggers from Johnston's army
as high as 10000. OF course, this was
an exaggeration.

A Washington crockery dealer said
to a star reporter; There is hardly a
reception given in Washington where
there is not hired china on the table
It's cheaper to hire than to own. Some
people put away their light fancy
china on such occasions, because it is
too expensive to nave broken and is
hard to replace. Others don't have it.
What we hire is nice china, but it Is
plain white. We seldom hire any
other kind, and when we do it is never
the same set twice. Now, you go to
AS tonight; you see a set Of china
with peculiar japanese figures on it.
You go to B's next evening; more
Japanese figures. Again, C's choco
late is served in japanese. All the
ragel All, japanese figures are just
the thing in china now You mention
it to Mrs. Beenthere She draws up
to one side, puts her fingers to her lips
in a sly fashion, and whispers close to
your ear: Hired" Now, you see,
that won't do; if they are all alike
they must be white-plain white.
