A LOST ART REsToRED.-The fine blue
pigment which still retains its freshness
in the fresco paintings of Pompeii has
not been used since the fall of the
Roman Empire, when its manufacture
seems to have been abandoned. Guided
by his own analyses and instructions
left by Vitruvius, Prof. Fouque, of the
College Of France, has succeeded in re-
producing the ancient pigment. 1t is a
double copper calcium silica, oxide of
copper and lime. The crystals are pro-
duced, with fux, at bright red heat,
but are changed into green glass if the
temperature is much exceeded. The
beauty and permanence of the pigment,
with the ease of preparing it and its
cheapness, are likely to bring it again
into use.

RAPID CREMAF1oN.-A French crema-
zionist, NJ. Guichard, has been striving
to make the incineration of bodies as
rapid as possible. A late test of his i'm
proved process gave very satisfactory
results, the carcass of large sheep in q
wooden case being reduced to ashes in
forty minutes, without perceptible odor
or smoke. He employs coal gas, of
which jets are directed on the body by
means of strong pipes.

SAND DRIFTs.-Dry, loose sand, where
ever it occurs, is constantly being shifted
by the wind, and often buries cultivated
lands, buildings, and forests. On the
shores of Lake Michigan are drifts 100
feet deep, and those of Cornwall reach
300 feet in depth, while the drifts of the
Cobb Desert are 40 miles long and 900
feet high in places. On the shores of
the Bay of Biscay the drifting sand
travels inland 16 feet a year, in parts of
Denmark "a feet, and in Southern India
II yards. In some places walls and
barriers of vegetation have been created
to stop the destroying drifts. Fine sand
is taken up to great height in the air,
and deposited many miles away. In 1889
Iceland was visited by remarkable
sand-storm, lasting two weeks, which
hid the sun and objects few yards off
like dense fog, and caused the death
of thousands of sheep and horses.

THE LAUGHING PLANT.-A plant
whose seeds produce effects ana ogous to
those of laughing gas is mentioned by
Palgrave as belonging to Arabia. Two
varieties are known, one attaining o
height of three to four feet, with woody
stems, wide-spreading branches, and
light green foliage. The seeds are black,
resembling q French bean in size and
shape, and have sweet taste, a flavor
somewhat like opium, and sickening
odor. Small doses of the pulverized
seeds give rise to peculiar manifesto
tiens. The person laughs boisterously,
sings, dances, and cuts up all kinds of
fantastic capers. The excitement con-
tinues about an hour, when the subject
falls into a deep sleep of an hour or
more, and awake1s utterly unconscious
of his late rid 'culous behavior.

He Bitterly Assails the Alliance Between
Baifour and Home Rulers.
LONDON Sept Considerable dissatisfac-
tion has been developed within the past
few days in the ranks of the Irish party over
Mr. Parnell's compact with Balfour, by
virtue OF which Ireland is 70 secure the en-
downent of Catholic university. Although
nothing is positively known If the considera-
ton which Mr.. BalfOur was promised in re-.
turn for this concession, no Irishman believes
that the Tory chief secretary is influenced by
purely disinterested, motives, and that quid
pro quo in the shape of a promise of Irish.
support in some shape for Tory plans exists,
is generally surmised.
A long letter from the pen of Michael
Davitt appears in The Pail Mall Gazette, in
which that gentleman very severely ccu-
demns the whole proceeding on the part Of
Mr. Parnell and those who act with him in
/ giving countenance to this Irish university
scheme Of Mr. Balfours It's acceptance, he
says, by the Home Rule party places them in
a ridiculously grotesque light, for they de-
liberately accept at the hands of the imperial
parliament a measure which, whatever may
be said Of its merits, deals with a question
purely of local concern and one which an
Irish parliament alone is competent to settle.
If such "a question, he says, as the establish
ment and endowment Of a Catholic univ ersity
in Ireland is not proper subject for legisla-
ton on the part of a Home Rule parliament.
then there is no such subject, the dream OF
An Irish parliament is a fantasy and the
Home Rule party should disband. To couple
with such proposal a promise Of a measure
of home rule for Ireland only intensihes the
grotesqueness of the situation, for it may
well be asked what sort of home rule can it
be which excludes from the subjects with
which it is to deal a matter of such purely
local concern as an Irish university.
1T is only too evident writes Mr.. Davitts
'that the Parnellites have been entrapped
by a cunning enemy into afording them as
sistance in their endeavor TO drag the red
herring athwart the course Of home rule just
as 1t is coming within sight Of its goal

JACKSON, Miss, Sept. 3.-Governor Lowry
arrived here from Greenwood by special
train. Before he left Greenwood he pre-
vailed upon the armed whites who had as
sembled there 70 return 70 their homes in
stead OF carrying out their intention Of going
to the scene OF the threatened race war
The three military companies that left
Greenwood at midnight last night by boat
had not been heard from. 1t is not thought
now that a conflict will take place unless it
should happen before the troops arrive. A
private dispatch from Greenwood received
at jackson late in the afternoon reported
everything quiet, with the troops still up the
river The governor has not yet been able
to sse Cromwell, the negro leader, who ar
rived in jackson Sunday night although he
has been trying all day to do so.

and unless the sheriff or military interfere
the results may be very serious Both races
have been arming In anticipation Of the
trouble. Last week the negroes received
forty Winchester rifles from Memphis On

Bibb county came to this city and bought
sixteen Winchesters and yesterday 100 Win
chesters were shipped from Nashville com
signed 10 white men in Bibb county. They
passed through this city yesterday
The trouble seems to have originated as
Kong ago as last November, when.a pitched
battle occurred between constable and
posse and a crowd Of negroes they tried 30
arrest without warrants. Several men were
killed and wounded on both sides in that
difficulty, and there has been bad feeling
between the races since. Matters were pre-
cipitated by the killing of John Lawrence by
negroes at Montevalto ON Friday night and
the lynching Of two negroes suspected Of the
crime the following night. Two lines Of
railroad are now building through that re-
gion and several hundred negroes, many OF
them ex-convicts and desperadocs, have been
taken down there TO work on these roads.

Of rock at one blast ever made in this coun-

sand tons of rock came crashing down, the

in several holes driven to the depth of thirty
feet in the solid rock.
