A New Way of Advertising.

One of the most outrageous methods
of attracting public attention ever adopt
ed was put in operation the other day in
Brooklyn. A colored man and woman,
both well dressed, were walking down
Fulton street, when the woman suddenly
turned upon the man like tigress, and
began shaking him by the collar and
scolding him. The man meekly tried to
stop her. A crowd soon gathered. Then
the woman let go of the man and they
both walked quickly away. AS soon as
this crowd had dispersed the woman be-
gan to shake her consort again and gath
cred another crowd, and this scene was
repeated at almost every corner along
that busy thoroughfare.
Between the mans shoulders was a
placard pasted to his overcoat advocat-
ing the use of some new nostrum. But
the crowd was slow to understand
whether the woman was really abusing
the sandwich" man or not. No police
man came in sight, though the scene was
unpleasantly we'll acted, and the crowds
obstructed pedestrians considerably

Rare American Stones.

The United States is fast becoming a
land Of precious stones. Diamonds have
been found in Georgia. Pearls are now
being picked up in Wisconsin, and Uncle
Sam is making arrangements for an in
voice Of some Of them for his collection.
There are some beautiful turquoises in
the cases which were brought by Maj.
Powell from New Mexico, and these are
quite as fine as the blue turquoises which
the government has from Persia. Of
less expensive stones the beryls are very
beautiful, and there is piece of aqua
marine from Portland, Me-, which is as
big as your fist and which shines like a
diamond.
There is an amethyst which is won
derfully beautiful. It was found in
North Carolina and is supposed to have
been used by the men of prehistoric
times. 1t was originally in the shape of
a turtle, but Professor Clarke tells me
that it was spoiled in the cutting. There
are also oriental amethysts, and the
amethysts from Brazil show all the
changes of that stone from a light pink
to dark purple.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

the other day.

Queer PeoDle of ChincOtearue.

NuCor IcOp1O u Cu1uCOCCstEu0.
There is a little island about $50 miles
down the Potomac called Chinco-
league. This island is inhabited by
a strange race of people and race
Of the greatest ponies in the world.
The people of the island fish and
grow oysters and are a hardy, primitive
race who fear God and attend strictly to
their business. Hundreds of these Won
derful ponies roam the island, living in
the summer on the rank coarse grass.
In the winter they subsist on sea weed,
and in the Spring are mere frames in
consequence of the diet
These ponies are unlike any ponies in
the world. They are about 10 to 1871
hands high. nearly all sorrels or bays,
and are fine bodied and neatly limbed.
They have the head and eyes of the
Arabian, and the supposition is that orig
inally the stock came from some thor
oughbreds that swan ashore from some
wrecked vessel What is most remark
able about them is that they trot and
pace fast. and are possessed of remark
able endurance. In the spring you can
purchase a good pony for $25 and up
ward. Tae colts are not gelded and
stations predominant. When the weather
is bad and the waves inundate the island
scores of the little fellows are swept into
the water and are lost.-Wa shington

Driven to Suicide by Love of His Dead Dog.
Sidney Clay was a London builders
clerk living in Euston road. He was SO
years Of age and had wife and several
children. A sister-in-law lived with the
family, and this lady had pet dog, a
toy terrier called Peep, which became a
great favorite with ALL Clay took the
pet dog for walk and lost it; presuma-
bly, the creature was stolen, for it was
extraordinarily small and marvelously
intelligent. Clay made every effort to
recover the pet, but failed. Thereupon
he became respondent and moody, and
four months later he suddenly fell dead
in the family sitting room. At the post
morton examination it transpired that
the man had taken dose of cyanide of
potassium with suicidal intent. It seems
that clay had for long time contem-
plated making away with himself, for a
letter (Which had been written three
months) addressed to his wife was found
upon his person.
''To the best and dearest Of women,
Marian, my wife," he wrote; 'tthere are
times in the life Of a man when he is su-
premely happy. Such has been my lot
with you until quite recently. Then

Blister Beetles in Abundance.

A green insect called the Spanish fly
has achieved reputation in medicine.
Reduced to a powder it is applied most
effectively as blister, infaming the
skin through the operation of an active
principle which the powder contains
called "cantharidin" Precious few peo.
pie are aware, however, that ordinary
potato bugs dried and powdered have an
equal virtue of the same description.
Furthermore, there are ever SO many
other insects which supply this canthari,

known species of ''blister beetles" in this
country which serve the same purpose.
