He Will see Again

BRADDooK, May 20.-Prof. A. List, of
this place, who has been totally blind for
nineteen years, is recovering his sight.
When only seven years of age Mr.. List
lost the sight of both eyes by cataracts
that formed over them. About a month
ago he weft to Philadelphia to have his
eyes operated upon by specialists. After
the examination, to his astonishmenl, they
informed him there was no necessity for
the operation, that ere long he would re-
gain his lost sight
The cataract on the left eye is fast dis
appearing, and he can now distinguish
the difference between the heights of
persons seen walking on the street. All
those who have heard of it pronounce it a
remal kable case. Prof. List is well
known musician of this place.

got somnthing to eat at his place some
days ago, but can't say just how long.
There were signs of decomposition, from
which it would appear that the body had
ain some time before being found. Those
who saw the remains differ in their esti-
mates of the time the man had been dead,
some being of the opinion that death had
taken place one day before the body was
found, while Others thought it might have
been several days.

The Lesson of Memorial Day,

On this Memorial day, with happy
children bearing flowers for the dead
heroes, with the generation succeeding
the war already in active manhood and
womanhood, and the surviving veterans
already small minority of the me of the
country, we reopen the book of remem-
brance, and before the eye OF the aged
arises field peopled with forms CT
wondrous interest. The men of 1861 !
Who and what were they? 1t cannot be
too often repeated that they were men
who loved peace and long strove to secure
it, but did not weakly shrink from war
when it became necessity to national
life and honor.
And this is the great lesson which
Memorial days must teach the young.
"Most fondly do we hope, most fervently do
we pray" in the lanL uage of Lincoln, that
the scourge of war may never come to
this rising generati n; but, if it does
come, let them think upon the frLness
of their fathers and shrink not fro n the
trial. Let the young men of the new day
that is to try mems souls look upon these
monuments and drink in anew the spirit
of patriotism, of firm resolve for the
right and unyielding devotion to duty.

A Beautiful Monument.

The beautiful monument that attracted
so much attention at G. Keim's Monu-
mental Works was erected yesterday to
the memory of Michael Lynch, in the
Catholic Cemetery, Lower Yoder. 1t
consists of first and second bases, and a
die, suImounted by four beautiful col
umns supporting cap IN gothic style.
Surmounting this cap, is a beautiful cross
and the monogram of |. Ii. S. gives evil
dence of being done by master work
man. The work done by this firm is un'
equaled, which is attested by the fact,
that the standing reward offered for equal
workmanship, has never been ac-
cepted. They have without a
doubt erected the finest aud most
beautiful monuments and tombstones
in all the cemeteries in and about
this city. All their work is done in an ar
tistic manner and guaranteed to excel or
money cheerfully refunded, and parties in
need of fine monument or tombstone
should give Mr.. Keim call at his works
on Adam street, before purchasing else
where, as his work is the best and prices
the lowest.

One of DE. Talmage,s Converts.


The captain of the Iroquois and the
purser of the same steamer are both
Brooklyn men. The former, Capt. l..
w. Pennington, is an enthusiastic adj
mirer of DIR. Talmage and n member
of his congregation. Talmage calls him
his converted sailor boy, and in con-
nection with his religious experience
Capt. Pennington related to me the
following remarkable story:
up to the time of my conversion l
had been an infidel, and very worldly
in my inclinations. Quite accidentally,
one Sunday, accompanied my wife to
the Tabernacle DIR. Talmage's sermon
on this occasion did not interest me,
and before it was half over L left the
church and went home. But l could
not forget the doctors words; they kept
ringing in my ear, and at last told my
wife was going back to hear the rest
of the sermon.
Gas l approached the Tabernacle /
met DIR. Talmage just about to leave the
church, having concluded the service.
told him how had left after hearing
half of the sermon, and why l had re-
turned. Come right back with me-
said the doctor, and l will open up the
church for you This he did, and
prayed and reasoned with me for over
an hour. l was converted that even
ing, and from that day to this have
believed in DR.. Ta1nage. -Brooklyn

THE cosrLlesT PICTURE.
How Meissonier Came to Make the "1S14"
That Sold for $4,000 Francs.

How Meissonier Came to Make the '1s14"
That Sold for $50, 900 Francs.
Meissonier's '1614" was painted
twenty-eight years ago. At about that
time Delahaute, a French financier
with a passion for the fine arts, called
at Meissoniers studio The painter was
busy with very little picture.
'What is this picture to represent"
asked Delahaute.
ga military subject, which have
entitled 1884," was Meissonier's re-
Spouse.
'Your subject is very big, but your
canvas is very small, M. MISSIONER.
Why don't you paint a large picture"
IT have sketched in the picture thus
small" explained the artist, 'for two
reasons: first, because it is after my
own style of painting; and second, 1
must confess it openly, because am
in need of money. I work very slow
ly, and therefore can complete a small
picture much sooner than large one"
''You need money? Paint my picture
then. What will it costq"
TWENTY-FIVE thousand francs"
''Humph! that is a good deal of
money" Delahaute drew purse from
his pocket, however and counted out
25, 900 francs on the artists table. 81
wish also to have your picture, 1884,"
he continued, "but on the express con-
dition that you paint it on large can
vas" Some time afterward MISSIONER
finished Delahaute's portrait. When
the financier called to look it over,
MISSIONER showed him the first sketch
of the picture "1814," asking, rs that
big enough for you~
Exactly, and what shall you charge
me?"
Seventy thousand francs"
The picture was finished and paid
for, and was first exhibited in the sum-
mer of 1864. 1t was recognized at once
as great work. A little later came
the great Franco-Prussian war, then
the Commune The picture, it was
planned, should be sold in England for
300, 900 francs, but the negotiations
came to naught. Some time afterward
one of the Vanderbilts offered 400, 900
francs for it. Delahaute consulted with
MISSIONER, who advised him: ''Don't
let the picture go for so little money.
1t is worth much more"
Delahaute listened to this advice and
promised the artist so, 900 francs should
the picture be sold for more than the
amount of Vanderbilt's offer. Since
1864 Delahaute had paid annually 800
insurance on the picture. Last year
when it was exhibited in the Palais DIES
Beaux Arts the insurance premium was
as high as $500 or somewhat more.
Such was the condition of affairs when
short time ago NJ. Bague, a famous
connoisseur of paintings, came with the
offer of 100000 francs Delahaute
could not resist, and agreed to sell the
picture. Then the question was, For
whom did Bague buy itq" The next
morning every one knew the answer.
Bague's principal in the purchase was
M. Chauchard, former director of the
great magazine in the Louvre. He had
offered his representative $50, 900 francs
for Meissonier's masterpiece. Conse-
| quently in twenty -four hours M. Bague,
by a mere turn of the hand, had made
$50, 900 francs in cash. Millet's can
gelus'' had brought 600, 900, and Muril-
los Ascension" $50, 900 francs-New

That 1IischievOus Photograph.

George Osborne's marital infelicity
dates from the day on which he first
became fascinated by a photograph.
He had read great deal about the
wonderful possibilities connected with
the instrument, but he had never seen
one He was persuaded by an eloquent
canvasser one day not long ago to rent
a photograph for use in his Office. He
spent several hours learning how to
manipulate the machine, and on the
afternoon it arrived the clerks and
office boys deserted their work to watch
Osborne with his new toy.
That evening Osborne described to
his wife the remarkable achieve
ments of his photograph; how it re-
produced q song sung by his head
clerk and a banjo solo performed by
one of the boys. Osborne was always
an entertaining talker at dinner. He
believed that testing and digesting have
very close connection with each other.
His wife was very much impressed with
his description of the photograph, and
determined to go to the office on the
following morning.
Osborne told his wife that he was go
ing to spend the evening at the club.
Instead of SO doing, however, he went
to his Office and played with the phono-
graph until midnight. He had never
been SO happy since the day his wife
. accepted him During the evening he
sang into the instrument some verses of
a love ditty that he had recently heard
at his club.
When Mrs. Osborne reached the office
in the morning she found that her hus-
band had gone out on a matter of
business One of the clerks offered to
operate the photograph for her. She
was delighted with the instrument.
The comic song and the banjo solo
pleased her extremely, and she laughed
heartily to hear her husband reciting
EFBingen on the Rhine" Then he be-
gan to sing Mrs. Osborne's face grew
grave. 81 stood by her side tonight"
''Did she know-that fair haired wo-
man-she had made me curse my fateW
This was awful. Mrs. Osborne burst
into tears and left the Office hurriedly.
All this happened some weeks ago.
Osborne is still trying to convince his
wife that no fair haired woman ever
sung to him in the cleaning, and that
he has no personal acquaintance with
love that came too late.-Washingto

A few drops of ammonia In cup
full of warm water, applied carefully,
will remove spots from paintings.
We give this simply to emphasize the
fact that such a strong chemical
ought not to be used in any article
of food. Simple, upright and down
right honesty on the part of a manu-
facturer would lead him to publish
the composition of baking powder.
If it contains alum or ammonia let
him say so. Then if consumers are
foolish enough TO run the risk of
running their health by using such
an article, they have no one to blame
but themselves. To put on the mar
ket, however, a baking powder or
any food compound that is adultera-
ted, claiming it to be pure, is an out
rage, and the only protection, at
present, seems to be for the consum-
err to refuse to purchase an article
the composition of which is not
frankly stated on the label.
