The Supreme Court Colossus.

Justice Gray is the giant of the Su-
preme Court. l saw him q few evenings
since, at what is called in Washington a
''card reception" shaking hands with
Minister Carter of the Sandwich Islands,
who is a tai man, right over the head of
Mr.. Spotford, the Librarian of Congress.
AS is well known, he is bachelor, and
lives in tine house, which he had built
according to his notions. The ladies' of
Washington love to say that there isn't
q closet in it, but his architect, Mr..
Marsh, assures me that there are closets
in every room. There is story that
once, at card party. a woman won JUS
tice Gray as a prize, whereupon he
rushed from the house. declaring that
no woman would ever catch him alive.
The lady sent him word that if to take
him dead, she could be his widow, she
would not object. Although Justice
Gray looks so big and dignifed when
sitting upon the Supreme bench, l hap
pen to know that If lie has touch Of
the govt. he is like a big baby, and
screams out if any one comes within a
rod of the foot he is nursing. After all,

A COIored Man Turning White.

Green Howell, of Midwife, Ca, has
double claim on the tit.e of colored,
for he is a full-blooded negro, but is
turning white in great patches-a color
which natural philosophy tells us is a
blending of all colors. Greene was
questioned as to the strange freak Of
nature wrought in his skin. There are
two patches of white on each ear. His
lips are turninga pale color, about that
of the average Caucasian skin. Beneath
the folds of his flannel shirt could be
seen the evidence of changing color.
His hands, further than several small
patches Of brown. are as pale as those
of any white, and at q moments glance
can be seen to be different from the
bleaching of the leper. His scalp is also
changed, and is as pale as his hands.
Greene is a successful planter and
talks freely of his strange case. He is
about thirty. five years of age and Of
medium height. His face and hair bear
ont his story that there is no mixed
blood in his veins He says that at the
close of the war he had two small
blotches on each hand, which remained
without change until four years ago last
April, when the skin on his hands began
TO turn pale red and then white.
While at work ploughing in the fields
in summer, he says the perspiration from
his hands would he red, as If tinctured
with blood. Further than from the eyi
dence of his eyes he was unaware
through any sensation of the change
which has been going on. There has
been no itch or smart, and several doc
tors whom he has consulted have assur-
ed him that the variegated skin is entire
ly healthy. They all confess that they
are puzzled by his case. Greene says
his body is almost white, and his feet
are turning. He says his father was
what is known as ''tender man, that
is, he would blister under hot sun.
Greene also blisters when exposed to the
hot sun for any length of time. His
farm duties occupy his time.-Augusta

Pig-tailed Esculapians.

The medical art in China is mysteri-
Gus and empirical. The medical pro-
fession is regulated by rules almost the
opposite of those which prevail in Eng
land.
In China the doctor receives a fixed
salary as long ms his patient is in good
health, says Chambers Magazine. Ii the
patient falls i'll, the doctors pay is stop
ped until q cure is effected.
In England n sick person usually tries
to assist the doctor by explaining the
symptoms of his case. In China, this
would be considered an insult to the
doctor.
The doctor may feel the patients
pulse, Examine his skin and look at his
tongue; but he may ask no questions.
He is then expected to diagnose the
disease from which the sick man is
ailing, and to prescribe a remedy.
The medicine prescribed is usually
very cheap and very nasty; but some
drugs are high-priced; and there are GER
tain precious stones which are believed
to be of wonderful efficacy in curing dis
eases. One of these expensive prescrip-
lions consists of very costly ingredients.
White and red coral, rubies or jncinth,
pearls, emeralds, musk, with one or two
earths in special quantities, are crushed
into powder, rolled into pills with gum
and rose water and coated with gold
leaf.
This unique medicine is reported to
be an infallible cure for small. pox,
measles, scarlet fever and all diseases
which arise from blood-poisoning and
break out in cutaneous eruptions. The
strengthening qualities of this prepare
tion are said to be quite remarkable.
The Jesuits, who flourished in China
in the early part of the present imperial
dynasty, affirm that they have seen
men snatched from the last commissions
of death by its judicious use.

BLIZZARD LAND.
A Little Talk About Shows and
Blows in North Dakota.

North Dakota, according to the tenn
perature maps, is the coolest part CT the
United States. This is accounted for
by the fact that there are no mountains
to break the force of the storms origi-
mating in the Arctic regions. From
Manitoba they come rushing and howl
ing into our Territory with great force,
packing the sand-like snow so firmly
that new-formed drifts four or five feet
high will bear the weight of houses.
During one OF these billiards it is i'm
possible TO be comfortable out OF doors,
even when the mercury does not fall be-
low zero The snow packs into the
clothing so that no shaking will dislodge
it, and the sharp PARTICLES cut like glass
or Steel 1t is impossible to face such n
storm, and persons aud horses naturally
turn their faces from the blast, and do
ing so oven in the slightest degree
causes them to lose their way on the
plains.
The snow looks exactly like granulated
sugar; we never see it fall in large, feath-
cry flakes, as it does in other parts of
tue country. When it SHOWS it invaria-
bly, blows, and every building, large or
small, has its circle OF drifts.
Occasionally for two or three days at
a time the north wind will take the snow
flying past, and apparently not grain
of it touches the ground. Straight
south it will go in such masses that you
cannot see an object a few rods from
you then in a few days the south wind
will hurl another mass back to the
north.
But the Northwestern winter is not
al storms and billiards. There are so
many bright calm days that even when
it is thirty-tive or forty degrees below
zero. if one is warmly clothed, he will
not suffer from the cold the air IS so
dry that it d es not seem to effect one
as a real cold day, down-to-zero day,

Primitive Marriage Not SO Easy.

In recent essay ON the philosophy
OF Marriage" lady remarked that moth
ing could he easier and simpler than
marriage in primitive society. Now one
ventures to think that, as society ad-
vances, marriage becomes more instead
of less simple. The consequences are to
be found in what is called surplus pop
ulation. The savage makes things
more difficult. Before n young brave of
the Kurnai can even flilt he has to sub
nit to having his little finger top joint
cut off, to having his front teeth knocked
ont, to being rudely shaved with sharp
stone, to being daubed all over with
mud, and to number of other horrors
neither simple nor easy. The young
Red Indian in some tribes has to serve
as slave for whole year in the cabin
of his future father-in-law. Moreover,
the rules about who might marry whom
were so VIGOROUSLY difficult and COM
pick that often it must hardly
have been possible to marry at all. Con-
slider likewise, that the tribes in which a
man may not marry unless he can buy a
wife by offering sister in exchange,
and recollect that the older men were
wont to snap up all available sisters, and
that sisters who seemed lone too many
if not two" were slain when they we're
babies. Without entering into the ques-
ton of difficulties that surrounded the
bride, it is evident enough that mar
riage was not in primitive, or at least in
backward society, such plain sailing as
Mrs. Lynn Linton appears to believe.
To be sure it was easy enough in India,
where the Gandharva ceremony consist
ed merely in lady and her lover ex-
changing their wreaths of flowers, while
the Minitaree rte of shooting arrows
over the heads of the happy pair was
picturesguely simple. But the diiiicnl-
ties before they came to the ceremony
were much greater than in civilized So
ciety, or SO one is led 10 suppose. In
fact, if people had set conscientiously to
work to make marriage difliculs and un-
attractive they could hardly have sue
ceeied any better. Apparently 'sthe
course of true love never did run
smooth, especially among the Zulus,
whom, as We ali remember, Cetewayo
kept in sta of military ce!ebacy.-
