guished inventor whose name is so closely
associated with the printing press, died at
Florence, Italy, on the night of the It'll

lection of printing machinery, though it
has since received many improvements.

Changing POOR pin, to walnut.

A striking similarity to black walnut,

pine by the following method: One part
of walnut peel extract is mixed with six
parts of water, and the wood is coated
with the solution. When the material is
about half dry, n solution Of bichromate
of potash with water is rubbed on 1t, and
the walnut is ready. In this way excel

When the Hudson river railroad was being
built the labor was all performed by Irishmen.
An Italian laborer on a railroad was then un-
known. Every railroad contractor sought
Irish labor When the West Shore road was
being constructed Irish labor was hardly
thought Of, all Of the rock cutting, drilling,
shoveling, ETC., being performed by Italians.
Toward the close still another element Of rail
road labor was introduced-the southern ne
gro. These negroes we're sent north by con.
tractors, and az they sat in swings half down
the face of old Storm King in the highlands,
bare backed and bare-headed, they pounded
away with hammer and drill, meanwhile sing
ing plantation songs, notwithstanding the
scorcLing rays Of old Sol who beat down up
on their black hides and bathed their heads
and faces with heat away up to thermome-
trical hundred. When the Italians finished
their days work they went by themselves and
ate and slept soundly. When the southern
darkies got through their days work they en-
acted the jOllihcation scenes of the plantation
on northern soil, and attracted hundreds of
spectators. The problem of what to do with
the southern darkey was solved right there in
the Highlands of the Hudson and 1t looks az
il the time is coming for the Italians TO go to
the rear AZ railroad builders, az did the Irish
men 30 years ago give place to the southern
negroes, and in time who can say that John
Chinaman will not take the place of the negro
in welding the drll and hammer. This is a
great country and new things are constantly
coming to the front.

.re,rInean Human noale..

A Philadelphia despatch relates the exhu-
nation OF human body which had been
buried many years, and which when found
was completely "petrih,d." No doubt this
il a mistake, and the body bad undergone
the change which results from the conversion
Of the fatty parts into what is called sdipo-
cere. This il wsxy substance which arrests
decomposition, preserves the external integ-
rity Of the tissues, and produces general
appearance very commonly mistaken for pet
rifacton. The causes Of the production of
sdipocere are not clearly understood, but it
appears to occur most r,quently where bod
les are buried in soil strongly charged with
certain minerals. or where water similarly
impregnated has access to the graves. A
body which has undergone this chsnge re-
sembles a figure cut in aabaster, but while
the surface is hard the inferior layers yield
to pressure like wax. There is reason to be-
lieve that body so changed may remain for
a practically unlimited time without further
alteration, provided it has the saue surround.

We speak of the rapid changes in our
American cities, but nothing like the changes
of London can exist with u.s. Growth is not
a change of this kind. Paris alone, in GER
tain respects, can show such metamorphoses
as London. But on the whole Paris, as 1
saw it at this first visit to the Old World, was
more like the Paris one sees now than was
London of 1850 like the London of to day.
The mere question Of growth is a minor mat
ter. London was not the metropolis of the
world in 1850, and now it IT, Then it was
only huger provincial town. The London
er in general measured nothing but himself,
and nobody came TO London for anything
but hardware, good walking boots, etc. now
it is the entrel o. of the civilized world. The
Worlds Fair of 1851 aud succeeding similar
displays of what cosmopolite industry can
do the common arrival of ocean steamers,
rare at the time l am writing of, have chang
ed the entire character of London life and
business and the tone of its society. It is
not merely in the fact that As, 600 houses
were built in the capital in the last year, or
that you find colonies of French Italians,
Russians Greeks in it, but that the houses
are no longer what they were, inside or out
and thus the foreigner is an assimilated in
gredient in its philosophy. All this has come
since 1850. May atlantic.

An Anecdote Of Gov. Waahburn OF
wisconsin.


Eugene V. Smalley, who has an illustrated
paper on the "Flour. mills Of Minneapolis"
in the May Century, says that the late Ex-
Gov. Washburn Of Wisconsin was identified
probably more closely with the milling inter
est in Minneapolis than any other one man.
OF him Mr.. Smalley tells this characteristic
anecdote "Ihe strength of Gov. Wash
burns character was strikingly shown by his
behavior in the face Of the terrible calamity
which destroyed his mill in 1873. One even
ing in May of that year, just after the day
force had left the big Washburn mill and be-
fore the night force had all come, the flour
dust that filed the air and covered the walls,
floors, and machinery took fire and exploded
with destructive force as tremendous al
that of dynamite. In an instant the tower
ing structure of solid stone WAS changed to a
heap of ruins The fire was blown into four
other mills near by, and one after another
blew up and orumbed into confused heaps Of
stones and machinery. The explosions sue
ceeded each other at intervals as regular as il
battery of siege guns had been fred in Or
der. Eighteen men were killed. Half the
milling industry of Minneapolis was obliter
ated, and the whole city was appalled, at the
terrific effects of destroying agency the ex-
istence of which had hardly been suspected.
News OF the tragedy came to Gov. Wash
burn at bis home in Madison. He had an ap-
pointment next morning with the regents Of
the university of Wisconsin to determine up
on site for an astronomical observatory, the
money for building which he had presented
to the institution. The regents met, suppos-
ing that the Governor had left for Minueapo-
lis as soon as the news of the destruction of
his mills had reached him. To their surprise
he walked into the room promptly at nine
O'Clock, as calm as though nothing had hap
pened, and insisted ON despatching the bust
ness before the board instead of talking
about the disaster. Next day he stood by
the smoking ruins of his great mills. Friends
gathered around to condole with him on the
destruction of a million of dollars worth of
property. To them he said, The money loss
is not to be considered ) 1 think only Of the
poor victims and of their families. The mills
shall be rebuilt at once And they were re-
built as rapidly as the courageous and energet-
ic old Governor could push on their construc-

Our Poor.

We send them away, without thought or care,
To the house on the hillside bleak and bare;
We send them away from friends aud home,
From Christian cheer, to dwell alone.
Unto them no sweet sound Of Sabbath bell
Its message Of peace aud hope eau tell;
Unto them ChrIst's gospel is only word
That loug ago their ears have heard.
What wonder If faith and hope should die
II the heart should break, as memories fly
Like white-wings ID doves DER the aged head
with tender message from those long dead.
We forget that they once had home and friends,
With parents love, aud all that lends
To this earthly life its truth and grace
That makes OF the home 'the dearest place."
We forget that it is no fault of theirs
That their tolsome life, with its burden Of cares
Has proved for them so heavy load
That they've tainted aud fallen beside the road.
They are only paupers; but Christ has died
For such as these and woe betide
Any Christian land where his little ones
Instead of bread are given stones.
Let us stop and think for who can say
Whose child may faint and fall by the way,
Or who, Of fortune aud friends bereft,
May be to the mercy of strangers left
Let us do by those who are left to our care
As we ourselves would desire to fare;
Let us be as Christians tried aud true
As we would have others, 30 let us do.
