Chinese Art.

The Chinese claim for their artists sue
cesses quite equal to what is reported of
the celebrated Greek painters Zeuxis and
Parrhasius. The former painted fruit so
like the real that when his picture was
exhibited, birds came and tried to feed
upon the painted grapes. Delighted with
this tribute to bis talent, he begged of
his rival that he would remove the veil
from before his canvas and exhibit his
work, only to find that he had himself
been deceived, for the veil was painted
one, and was itself what the rival artist
had brought to show in proof of his skill.
A writer from Peking says:
Many anecdotes are on hand regarding
the achievements of the old masters.
Thus, we are told of painter in the third
century who, when he had finished a
screen for the Emperor, added some flies
to the picture by few touches of the
pencil here and there. Great was his
qualification at seeing his Majestry take
up handkerchief to drive these flies
away.
Not less celebrated was another artist
who fourished about A. D. 1000, and
who introduced several pheasants into a
mural decoration in one Of the halls of the
palace.
Some foreign ENJOYS, who had brought
a tribute of falcon, were ushered into the
hall; and no sooner did the birds of prey
get sight of the pheasants on the wall.
than they made precipitate dart at their
victims, more, of course, to the detriment
of their heads than to the satisfaction of
their appetites.
Charlotte home and Democrat., 1886-09-24
Marion's Diplomacy.

One of the stories which used to stimu-
late the patriotism of American boys is
that of Marion's inviting British officer
to dine with him on roasted potatoes and
cold water. The story has been doubted
by certain critical historians, but DR..
Joseph johnson of South Carolina. says it
is substantially true. He heard it when a
child from his father, to whom it was told
just after its occurrence.
But the story as originally told illustrat-
ed Marion's diplomacy rather than his
poverty aud self-denial ..a...ss.
The officer, a young man, sensitive, hu-
name, and high-toned, had been sent, un-
der flag of truce, to Marion's camp to
transact some business with the general.
After the business had been completed,
the generals aide invited the officer to
dine with them. s@s 7r -
He would have had q. good dinner, if
Marion, seeing his character, had not de-
termined to make an impression on his
sensitive nature favorable to the Ameri-
can cause.
The young man, having been invited to
dine with Marion, and having excused
himself to the aids, was provided by his
host with dinner of sweet potatoes
roasted in the ashes of the hearth, and
served on bark platters. The officer mo-
ticed that the general, in peeling his pota-
toes, put the skins carefully on one side of
his plate, instead of throwing them on the
ground. -
Oscar, the generals servant and foster
brother, waited on them. He was al
ways called "Budde," corruption of
brother, by Marion, who, after dinner, said
to him.
"Budde, bring US something to drink"
Oscar brought gourdful of water, and
handed it to the officer and then to the
general.
"Budde, bring up Roger" and the
generals horse, being led up, was fed with
the potato skins.
The officer saw and was conquered.
He returned to the British camp, and re-
signed his commission, saying he could
not fight against men who were so con-
scientious in their opposition to king and
parliament as to drink nothing but water,
eat nothing but potatoes, and feed their
horses on the skins.

Correspondence Of Hartford Courier.


The celebration of the tenth anniver-
sary of the accession of the reigning
sultan, Abdul Hamid, was observed with
a patriotic devotion that showed no
tagging. The goth of May Is the Fourth
of July for Turkey, and the thunder OF
cannon, the gayety Of the decorations,
the brilliancy of the fireworks in ali the
large centres were hardly inferior to- the
patriotic display in other lands. There
il, however, a certain sobriety In orr
entail festivities which is indicative of
good sense. Que contrast was espe-
cially noticeable, there was no drunk
ness. The police reports OF Beyrout
for the goth of May would not probably
contain single case of arrest for disor-
derly conduct caused by wine 'or liquor.
In fact, the Mohammedian world is a
tetotal world, end wine bringing among
the 3; ,;oslems is extremely. rare, and
when practiced has to be shrouded
with all the secrecy or the back celler
of Maine grog-shop. Beyrout has a
large European population, as we'll as
many native Christians, who use wine,
and a number of wine depots are Ii
censed. Yet / have never yet seen a
person under the influence of liquor in
the East Before the advent of Euro
peans there was but little wine-drink-
ing, if at all, in Beyrout.' Things are
changing for the worse in that particu-
lar. The Moslem religion, however, is a
vast teetotal society, and its benefcent in
fuence will always keep check upon the
customs of the country. g

P1NK-EYE INFLUENzA-Pink-eye Is q
term commonly given to infammations
about the eye or nostrils of the horse. says
the American Agriculturist, but in most
cases the ailment can be directly traced
to an influenza which of itself assumes q
variety of symptoms. The first attention
is usually attracted by the dumpishness
or debility of the horse; the eye becomes
red or blood ahot and the lids swollen,
and the light pains them. The hind legs
swell and other parts of the body become
dropsical. The first thing is to get the
patient into clean, dry stall, where he
can get pure air. If limbs are cold, rub
and bandage them, or use liniments.
Give the following drench: Sulphur, Eve
drachms !; cream of tartar, two drachms ;
salt, one ounce. Mix these with faxseed
tea.-American Farmer.
