lowing valuable rules, which it will be
to eveyone's advantage to practice

Payements of Jerusalem.

The principal pavements made in
Palestine are in Jerusalem, and it is
only within recent years they have been
constructed in accordance with any
thing like modern requirements, The
superior and massive Roman pavement3
over two thousand years old and still
in fair preservation, are here not taken
into consideration. The material for
streets is stone, cut about the size and
shape Of ordinary bricks or little
larger. This is laid in sand, the long
and narrow side up. The stone used is
the woll-known Jerusalem marble.
The cost varies from one to two dol
lars per square yard. The foundation
is almost invariably the rubbish Of the
ancient city which has accumulated
during centuries.

phenom email Artists.

The most unpromising tools become
veritable divining rods in the hands Of
genius. Washington possesses an ar
tist who models bas-reliefs in lard and
busts in butterine. His studio is in one
of the city markets. The way he en-
tered upon his artistic career was en-
tirely by accident 1t is his custom to
pile fifty or sixty pounds of lard upon
his counter, and one day he carelessly
picked up knife and carved bas-re-
lief portrait in the side 1t was merely
an ideal head, drawn at random, but
possessing such merit as to attract con-
siderable attention and custom from the
marketcrs. Since then, our sculptor
has continued his experiments and de-
veloped considerable skill in manipu-
lating his novel material for modelling.
His tools are ordinary carving knives,
with which he chisels out in rough
some ideal face. The features are af-
terward nodded and smoothod by the
fingers the warmth of which renders
the lard plastic. When this has been
done to the artists satisfaction he dips
his fingers in ice-water, which chills and
fixes the features, at the same time i'm
parting marble like gloss to the bust,
and showing almost translucent in the
electric light. A crowd generally sur
rounds the sculptor as he works, and
his productions have become standard
attraction to the market. This case is
not solitary one. From time to time
artists of an eccentric type surprise the
world with the erratic exhibitions of
their genius. Two hundred years ago,
jeanne Koerten attracted much atten-
tion by her skill in cutting. All that
the engraver accomplished with the
graver, this young girl affected with her
scissors. She executed landscapes,
marine views, flowers, animals and por-
traits of people of such striking resem-
blance that she was for n time quite the
wonder of Europe. She used white
papers for her cuttings, placing them
over black surface, 50 that the minute
openings made by her scissors formed
the light and shade Her cuttings
were 50 correct in effect and so tasteful,
MS to give both dignity and value to her
work, and constitute her IN artist whose
exquisite skill with scissors has neve
before nor since been cqualleG.

NisGlNfA, Goth April, 1863 Mr..
LAWRENCE: BE pleased to send me a
gentcele suit Of cloaths, made of SUPER
fine broadcloth, handsomely chosen:-
1 should have enclosed you my meas
ure, but In general way, they are so
badly taken here that ] am convinced
1t would be of little service; / would
have you, therefore, take measure of a
gentleman who wears well made cloaths
of the following size, to wit: Six feet
high and proportionably made; if any
thing, rather slender than thick for a
person of that heighth, with pretty
long arms and thighs. You will take
care to make the breeches longer than
those you sent me last, and l would
have you keep the measure of the
cloaths you now make by you, and if
any alteration is required in my next, it
shall be pointed out. Mr.. Cary will
pay your bill. / am, sir, your very
obedient humble servant,
GEORGE WASHINGTON.
Note-For your further government
and knowledge of my size, have sent
the enclosed, and you must observe vt,
fromo ye coat end to No |, and No. 3
is ye size over ye breast and hips, No 2
over the bclley, and No. round ye
arm, and from ye breeches end. To
No. is for waistband; b. thick of the
thigh; C, upper buttonhole; d, knee
band; o, for length of breeches.
Therefore, if you take measure of a
PNi'oh u'ouI " icSO HlBu vi lulS DIS
ness. / think you can't go amiss; you
must take notice that the enclosed is
the exact size, without any allowance
for seams, &c. GEORGE WAsHINGroN.
To Mr.. Chas. Lawrence.
Taylor, in old Fish street, London.
As Washington was thirty one in
1903, his height, as he states it-viz: 6
feet-is apparently at variance with the
popular belief that he was feet
inches, but it may be that some pecul-
iarity, either of his length of limb or Of
his body, caused him to tell his tailor to
measure gentleman of only feet, as
sured that by some difference on his
part from other men he may have ex-
actly the corrected difference. He was
so correct in all his directions that this
seems the only elucidation of the dis
crepancy.

Engravings of Animals.

In former days, when gems were
engraved with animals or reptiles, each
had its own Specification. A serpent
indicated wisdom, and with its tail in
its mouth it symbolized eternity The
owl was rehection-not wisdom, as is
commonly thought. Bacchus engraved
on a gem was often accompanied by a
parrot, representing the loquacious dis
position of the inebriate. Women com
monty wore stones engraved with scor-
pions, spiders OF other poisonous things
as protection against like objection
able creatures.

LINCOLN AND DOUGLAS.


Their Memorable Meeting in Dewus.
Illinois.
Some time in the latter part OF Julv
Mr.. Douglass began his regular cam.
paign in Dewitt, that being n strong
Buchanan county, Colonel Thomas
Smell having organized the DANTE
party there in opposition to Mr. Doug.
las. We wrote Mr.. Lincoln that, mas
much MS Mr.. Douglas was to begin his
regular campaign there, he had better
come and hear him; and on the morn
ing OF the day the meeting was held
Mr.. Lincoln came to Clinton. There
was an immense crowd for country
town, and the people were very much
excited on the subject of politics.
On the way to the grove Mr. Lincoln
said Il have challenged Judge Doug
las for discussion what do you think
OF ity' | said "The question is al
ready settled, but l approve your judg.
ment in whatever you do" Mr.. Dong
las spoke to an immense audience and
made one of tho most forcible political
speeches l ever heard. He spoke over
three hours, in the course of which he
took occasion to reply to Mn Lincolns
Springfield speech without reference to
the" default which he said Mr.. Lincoln
had sought to make against him. As he
progressed in his argument he became
very personal and l said to Mr.. Lincoln {:
do you suppose Douglas knows you
are here p
Well, said he, II don't know
whether he does or not he has not
looked around in this direction, but I
reckon the boys have told him 1 am
here"
When Judge Douglas finished there
was great shout for Mr.. Lincoln. He
stepped on the seat very much excited,
and said
This is Judge Douglas meeting. I
have no right, and, therefore, no dispo-
s'.ion to interfere, but if You ladies and
gentleman desire to hear what / have to
say on these questions, and will meet
me tonight at the court house yard, 1
will try and answer the gentleman. "
Mr.. Douglas was in the act of putting
on his coat, and turned in the direction
OF Mr.. Lincoln. Both became poised
in tableau of majestic power Tho
scene exhibited meeting of giants-a
contest of great men-and the situation
was dramatic in the extreme.
Lincoln made q speech that night
which in volume and force did not
equal the speech of Judge Douglas but
for sound and cogent argument it was
superior. Negro equality was then the
bugbear of politics, and the Republican
party was defending itself against these
charges of the Democracy. Mr.. Lin
coin said in his speech Judge Doug
las charges me with being in favor of
negro equality, but to the extent that ho
charges / am not guilty. But / am
Cnilty of hating servitudc and loving
freedom and while / would not carry
the equality of races to the extent
charged by my adversary, L am happy
to confess before you that in some
things the black man is the equal OF
the white man. In the right to eat the
bread his own hands have earned he is
the equal OF Judge Douglas or any
other man.
When he spoke TIE last sentence he
had stretched himself to his full height,
and as he reached out his hands toward
the stars that still night, then and there
fell from his lips one of the grandeat ex-
pressions of American craftsmanship. -
Lawrence Weldon.
