dissolute and extravaganza habits Of the
latter, will be fresh in the recollection of
many in Bombay. The son fell into the
hands Of money lenders and others, who
expected that the father, as he had done
on numerous occasions previously, would
discharge his debts, but the old man seems
to have determined that he would no
longer minister to his sons extravagances.
and he refused to lift finger to save him
from jail. Lilladhur Kessowjee, the son,
was on the debtors side of the jail for
some time, and eventually died from dis
ease aggravated, if not brought, by his
excuses. Owing to the VIGOROUSLY evil
life of the son, and his fragrant breaches
OF caste rules, Mr.. KessOwjee and his
family were communicated by their
caste until they had made a pilgrimage to
Benares to expiate their sins by the course
of religious discipline prescribed on such
occasions. The old man was too feeble
to undertake this journey, and died under
the ban of his caste. As a consequence,
enormously wealthy as he was, his funeral
ceremonies were only attended by about
ten or dozen persons. 1t is believed
that the bulk of the deceased's immense
property will go to nephew, a lad some
years of age, whom he had some inten-
ton, although he did not live long enough
to have the necessary adoption ceremonies
performed.

Essays on Columbus.
London Standard.

The following story comes from a school
in the midlands. The master told the
boys of the third class to write a short
essay on Columbus. The following was
sent up by an ambitious essayist:
Columbus was a man who could make
an egg stand on end without breaking it.
The King of Spain said to Clumbus,
Can you discover American Yes, sal
Clumbus, If you will give me a shipf
So he had ship, and sailed over the sea
in the direction where he thought America
ought to be found. The sailors quarreled
and said they believed there was no such
place. But after many days the pilot
came to him and said, Columbus, l see
land Then that is America said Clum-
bus. When the ship got near, the land
was full of black men. Clumbus said,
is this American Yes it is said they.
Then he said, I suppose you are the Mig
gers?' Yes they said, we are The chief
said, I suppose you are Clumbus.' You
are right said he. Then the chief turned
to his men and said, There is no help for
it; we are discovered at last"

An Old Georgia Note.
Savannah Times.

Since the first reference by the Times
about week since to the fact of the ex-
istence of some old continental notes. a
number have been brought to light. We
have mentioned several of these. Yester-
day, however, a well-known citizen brought
to the office a well-preserved note of the
date 1852, the oldest that has yet been
presented. 1t is of the denomination of
shillings, and bears the following in
scription:
Georgia-No. 1922. Five shillings.
This indented bill of credit, due for
his Majesty's Province of Georgia, shall
pass current in all payments to the pub
lie Treasurer, and all others, for five shil-
lings sterling, according to law. 1862.
In the right corner is the figure of an
Indian in a warlike attitude. In the left
corner two signatures in writing, one of
which is legible and appears to be Alex
ander Woodbridge, who we are informed
was grandfather to the late Wylly Wood
bridge.

No use for Theosophy.

A Paris correspondence of The London
World writes: Just two years ago Nine.
or Mile. p II. P. Blavatsky made her ap-
pearance in Paris, ccompanied by mag
netic cheIG named Mohini Chatteriii. BY
some means or other she had won the
protection of the "faddy" Duchesse de
Pomar, who placed the gorgeous salons at
the disposal of the impiOus and slang
loving Russian and of her strange COM
panlon. And so, under the presidency of
the Duchesses de POmar, and with the
COmtessede MOrsier for secretary, the
French Philosophical society was founded.
Thanks to this fashionable patronage the
TheOsOphical society in Paris began to
prosper; the Mahatmas cut out Allan Kar-
dec aud Mesmer; the blue-stockings of
the Faubourg began gravely to investi-
gate esoteric Buddhim; the "faddy -
duchesse opened her purse and the cheId
opened his messiah eyes, and the ladies of
the noble faubOurg, initiating the ladies
of Tyburnia, doubtless at the suggestion
of Nine. Blavatsky, made his presents of
velvet robes, and bought him cigarettes at
10 francs package. And so the pros
poets of theosophy in Paris looked bright,
until one day la Blavatsky took her little
pitcher to the we'll once too often and
broke it, and revealed the fact that Thi-
betan gospel was often cover for cal
umny. Then the chela, the black man
who had offered himself "to learn prac-
tically the hidden mysteries of nature,
and the physical powers latent in man"
abused his lady-killing powers, and
strange accounts came to Paris of his ad-
ventures in the forests of Fontainbleau.
And worse than that, the lady-killing chela
was discovered to be far from disinter-
ested slayer of hearts. In short, the
French Philosophical society has fall
en- all to pieces. The "faddy" duchesse
still refuses to believe that she has been
victimized, but the other noble lady found
ers of the society and blue-stockings will
never admit the Russian sorceress to their
houses or beg the velvet-clad cheIa to sing
them lamentations in Sanskrit aud recite
lullaby naant,'as. French common sense
has lost no time in seeing through theoso-
ply. The spectacle has not proved to be
edifying. and, judging from the very pre-
else information which I have received
this week from several of the ex-members
of the society, the cheIa and the sorceress
will very soon be as much at discount in
Tyburnia as they are already in the Eau
bourg ST. German. It appears that the
conduct of both has been more than in
delicate.

COLLEGE MEN.
The LOngfeilOw Brothers Hawthorne, CiIIy
Pierce, and John ?. Hale.


[ read in some newspaper during the
past year the proceedings of an alumni
meeting of Bowdoin college. One of the
speakers stated that Prof. Longfellow
when student was an akward boy, and
walked with a slow shuffiing gait. He
had fOrgotte mistaken Stephen for
his brother Henry. When the Longfel-
lows were in college they were room
mates, having a room at ParrOn Tit
combs on Federal street. My father liv-
ed in the next house toward the college,
and [ saw them pass daily. When the
bell rang for recitation or prayers, Henry
left the room forwith, walking sprightly
with a military gait. At that time he
was tall and slim, and as straight as an
arrow. On the contrary, Stephen would
not leave the room till the bell had about
ceased ringing walking with slow gait
stopped in his shoulders, carrying his
book under his arm and with both hands
thrust into his pockets. Henry was SOC
ial and familiar, while Stephen was re-
served and made few acquaintance.
Frank Pierce when in college was
close student; wore his hat tipped on
one side, giving him care-fOr-nOthing
appearance. Usually spent his vacation
at Brunswick: was a Jealous deciple of
old Ike Walton, and spent much time in
cunning and fishing game being plenty
on our BURBERRY plains. l have been
with him when he brought down seven
teen pigeons at one shot, taking them on
the wing.
Nathaniel Hawthorne and John Hodg-
don were of Quaker extraction, and of
course were rather reserved. Both con-
fined themselves closely in study hours.
Hawthorne, / think, was suspended or Sc
yerely reprimanded while a student for
not raising his hat and bowling when he
passed Prof. Allen, but never neglected
doffing his hat to Peter McGill, who sawed
the student't wood.
Jonathan Cilley was one of the hand
soonest students in college and stood high
IN his studies, to which he devoted but
few hours daily. He was conpanionable
to all and popular among towns-people
and students. After finishing his profes-
sion he practlced at the court in Topsham,
boarding at Brunswick at one of the
hotels. AS soon as the court opened in
quiry would be made, HAS Cilley got
alOng! HIS old friends would assemble
evenings and listen to his mirth- provoking
Jokes and amusing stories. He was the
soul of wit and possessed a vast fund of
stories and anecdotes. One evening some
friend said to him: Give one more story
before we part" He replied: "If 1 do
it will be silly one" and gave one of his
best. He was killed in a duel while still

ing at the time Lincoln district in con-
gress. Had he survived, his prospects for
the United States presidential chair sur
passed those of any other politician in
Maine, having defeated Hon. John Rug.

A Criminal Lawyer.
Texas Siftings.

Major Gassaway, prominent San An
tonla lawyer, seemed tired and worn out on
returning to his residence.
You look tired, dear. I suppose you
have had hard days work again in court -
said Mrs. Gassaway.
"Yes, I'm very tired. I've had diff
cult case, but I've won it,
you had better take cup of tea, and
then go to bed and take good nights

You see, [ was defending one of the
worst horse thieves in western Texas this

THE ORIGIN OF ENGRAVING.
The Art Which Preserves Forgotten Treas
ureS.
Art ,JoDynAl

There are few chapters in the history
of art of greater interest than those which
unfold to US the discovery of forgotten
treasures, and reveals the existence of
works which had long passed out of re-
memberance. The intimate connection
between the invention of engraving and
the art of the silversmith, or rather that
branch of the silversmith's work which
consists of changing an outline into a
plate of precious metal to be subsequent
" filled up with dark-cOlored enamel, and
so called nieHo work was never appreciat
ed until, at the close of the last century,
the Able Zani, found among some old
Italian engravings in the National Library
at Paris print which he recognized as
similar insubiect to the famous pax, dec
GRATED with niello work made by Maso
Finiguerre for the baptistry of ST. John,
and paid for, as is proved by the records,
1852. This pax or Assumption was sub
sequently transferred to the cabinet of
brOnzes in the gallery at Florence, where
it is now preserved, and it was proved on
comparing it with the engraving that the
latter had actually been printed from the
silver plate before the latter was fused in
to the outline, prior, therefore, to 1852.
On the strength of this discovery Fini-
guerre has ever since the year 1896, been
credited with the invention of producing
engravings on paper from metal plates.
There seems little reason for doubt, as
has often been pointed out, that many
silversmith's of the Is century may have
been in the habit of obtaining trials of
their work in progress as did Finiguerre,
perchance when he produced this histor-
zeal print, representing Christ browning
Virgin from his work on the Florentine
pax. It may indeed have been together
with the well-known sulphur casts, re-
cOgnized mode of obtaining a record of
the niello work which had been practiced
for many years previous to the time in
question, though no such paper impress
sions of an earlier date than this have
been handed down to US. 1t was a COM
mon practice to take sulphur casts long
previous to 1852, as numerous specimens
of such casts have been preserved to US,
but it is difficult to say who was the first
bold innOvator who substituted piece of
paper for sulphur, and thus originated
the precious art of engraving. The story
of the wet linen, which accidentally gave
the idea to Finiguerre, is generally treat
ed as fiction by those who have studied
this subject.

Gen. Grant and the Coward.
st. Louis Chronicle.

''Gen. Grant was a firm believer in the
mythical lucky STAR" an old military man
said to me, recently. Like Napolean, he
believed what would be would be. I was
with Grant in the days proceeding the
surrender at Appomattox. One afternoon,
during one of the numerous skirmishes of
those last eventful days, one of the drafted
men-a poltroon and notorious coward
was caught skulking in the commits
sary's camp.
The fellow was pointed out to the gen
eral.
''Let him CO." said he, ''let him goa
bullet can find coward as well in one
place as another"
Half an hour afterward the soldier was
found, with bullet hole in his brain,
within the corral of train horses, and dead.

There are no Lead-PencilS.
New York Nail and Express.

There is no lead-pencl in existence to-
day, and there has been none in existence
for more than forty years past There
was time when a spirale of lead cut
from the bar or sheet sufficed to make
marks on white paper or some roughed
abrading material. The name lead-pencil
comes from the old notion that the prod
ucts of the Cumberlan mines in England
are lead instead of being plumbago or
graphite, carbonate of iron, capable of
leaving a lead-cOlOred mark. With the
original lead-pencil or strip, and with the
earlier styles of the lead-pencn made
direct from the Cumberland mines, the
wetting of the pencil was a necessary pre-
liminary of writing. But since it has
become a manufacture, the lead-pencil is
adapted by numbers or letters to each
particular design. There are all grades
of hardness, from the pencil that can be
sharpened down to a needle point to the
one which cannot make other than a
broad mark. Between the two extremes
are a number of gradatiOns which cover
all the uses of the lead-pencil. These
gradations are made by taking the origi-
nal carbonate and grinding and mixing it
with fine quality of clay, in different
proportions. according to the quality of
the pencil required to be produced. The
mixture is made thoroughly, and then
squeezed through dies to form and size it,
after which it is dried and encased in its
wooden envelope.
