Genius OF u French Artisan.

1t is related of Gen. Won Manteuffel,
the late German military governor of
Alsace, who hated all that was French,
that he once at public dinner engaged
in dispute with a French diplomat who
maintained the superiority of the French
workmen over the artisans of all other
nations. "A thing so ugly does not ex-
list that the skill and genius of French
man can not make il thing of beauty"
he said. Angered at this contradiction
the old soldier pulled hair from his
bristly gray mustachc and. handing it Il,
the Frenchman, said, curtly: Let him
make a thing of beauty out of that, then,
and prove your claim"
The Frenchman took the hair and
sent it in letter to a well-known Par
isian jeweler, with a statement of Inc
case and an appeal to his patriotic pride.

How Album. Turned the Tide.


There was crisis in the book bind.
ing business at the early years OF the
war, when the new manufacture OF pho
tograph albums came as special provi-
dence to start up idle factories. The
Appletons, in New York. and the Lip
pincotts and Mr.. Altemus, in Philadel-
phia. were the first manufacturers OF
these goods in this country. The Ap-
pletons' attention was called to them
through Baron Rothschild, who had
brought over half dozen OF French
manufacture as presents TO friends, and
who put an order in the hands OF MIR.
Matthews for half a dozen more like
them.
About the same time Mr.. Gottschalk,
a Philadelphia merchant, had been
given one by some Paris friends as
present to daughter, and some years
ago, when the suit over the alleged
patent was going on, he took the book
out of his trunk in his state-room just
before landing in preparing for custom
examination, and, having forgotten its
purpose, wondered what on earth 1t
could be for. While he was doing this
the pilot came on deck with the news
that Abraham Lincoln was nominated
for president, and the first question of
every one, Mr.. Gottschalk said,
was: "Who is Abraham Lincoln p
Mr.. Gottschalk afterward imported
a few albums, and samples were
brought by two different Philadelphia
photographers to Mr.. Altemus with the
query whether he could make them. On
his saying that he could, one of the pho
tographers offered to place an order for
1000 copies. or as many as he could
make, and from this sprang the business
in which this house is now SO prominent.
The desire at the beginning of the war
for some means for keeping together the
pictures of the boys in the field" or
-the dear ones at home" came just in
time to save a business which was fast
going to pieces. in the general stagna-
tion. The Appletons and Lippincotts
have both frequently acknowledged that
albums turned the tide in both their
cases also.-The Argonaut.

Making Sugar from Rags.

Sugar can be made from any descrip-
ton of vegetable fiber, such as sawdust,
rags or tow. The process is to digest
for several hours in sulphuric acid; then
to dilute the mixture with water and to
boil for some time, when the rags or
what not will be found to have under
gone magical change, and to have
been converted into sugar. A curious
fact is that 100 parts of rags will yield
lis parts of sugar, the increase in weight
being due to the elements Of water alb
sorbed during the change.-Frank Les

blind man at Utrecht who could dis
tinguish different metals by the different
odors; and Martials records the
case of person named Ma
murra, who could tell by smelling
whether copper was true Corinthian or
not. Indian travellers have recorded that
certain natives who habitually abstained
from animal food have a sense of smell
ing which is so exquisitely delicate that
they can tell from which well vessel of
water has been obtained. 1t has been
related that by smell alone the negroes

man, called John of Liege, who, when a
boy, flying in terror of soldiers in time

Woodward, Of the st. Louis school of

direction the main beds of sulphur may
be reached.
The railroads and others who use this
oil are very much pleased with its quail

company may be so encouraged by the
results Of their first essays that they may
make strenuous and persistent efforts to
develop these resources so important to
the labor and to the wealth of Louisiana.

THE MESNENTER.
The Railroad and Politics.

Judging from an article in last Satur-
days Iberia Farmer, the railroad authO-
rites feel little sore over the action of
the Board Of Reviewers of Iberia parish,
because the assessment of the railroad
property in that parish is placed little
higher than last year. The raj lrOad peO-
pie tried to have it reduced. but the men,
bers, thinking that the valuation as
fixed was just and equitable, refused to
accede to the request made. And because
Of that refusal lit is reported" that the
railroad people are determined to aid
in the election Of men who will be more
lenient with them-bOth, at the coming
special election for the judgeship and for
representative i'm 1884,
In this connection it affords us real
pleasure to say that the railroad people
have no hard feelings against this par
ish. On the contrary, they positively
love us; We have their word for it-and,
also sample of their feelings, in one in
stance at least. Perhaps, after all, our
Police Jury possessed little more saga
city and foresight than they were given
credit for; hence did not court the rail-
roads i'll will. Therefore, in the natu-
raj order of things, we of this parish
should feel happy in the possession Of
their love. Only that that love is of such
peculiar kind-sOmething akin to the
love developed by a ferOciOus tiger for
a plumb baby-we have experienced it
and know what it is.
However we hope the report is untrue.
When the railroad undertake to subver t
the will of the people by lavish outlay
of money. which. would probably be the
mode Of proceeding. it will soon learn
that the people have some rights that
even the railroad is bound to respect.

Louisiana sulphur Mines and
Oil Wells.

Among the most wonderful of the nat
ural phenomena which are to be found
throughout the world, none can surpass
in mystery and interest the salt and sui
phur mines and the oil wells of LOuisia-
ma. The masses of salt buried in the
bowels Of the earth at Avery's Island are
too well known to need even brief treat
ment now. Giving employment to an
army of wOrkmen, the enormous output
of pure crystals is distributed by rail and
sea to all the ports and cities of the
country.
But the sulphur and oil regions Of Cal
casieu are not so prominent before the
public, and have not yet received the ma
gic touch Of capital Lying far removed
from mountains, and in country where
the presence of minerals was unsuspec-
ted, mere accident revealed the hidden
treasures, and hitherto. only feeble at
tempts have been made to reach these
stores of wealth.
From an old well bored, in 1871 to the
depth of 1870 feet, though 80 feet, of the
top Of the pipe has been broken off and
drawn out, oil and water with traces of
sulphur are still flowing. The first well
of the present company. about 500 feet
deep, is sending up two streams Of water
one beautifully clear and cold, the other
with a large percentage Of sulphur. The
