Business viCissitudes.

The annals of commerce are not en-
tirely without spice Of romance.
There is little retributiye justice
that sayors of the novelist's art I'M the
way the spOiler is sometimes spoiled in
business relations. In an article en-
titled Made in Japan" the Pail Mall
Gazette shows how nations have en-
croached upon one anothers business,
and reaped for time a rich harvest,
only to see the same tactics employed
by rival people. and be forced to
stand aside while the trade slipped
from their hands into the keeping of
another nation.
In old times the Dutch. by importing
English clay. made a good profit out Of
limitations of Chinese porcelain, and
presently the Dutch product became
world as Delft ware.
But the Dutchman was no more Sc
cure in his profitable trade than had
been his predecessor, the Chinaman.
The English potters took to copying
the Dutch patterns. and sold their pot
terry much cheaper, and the north of
England became headquarters for the
Delft china.
Again, however. the spoiler has been
spoiled. OF late the Japanese have
made themselves masters of the art of
reproducing the patterns best liked in
England, and have begun to encroach
on the domain long monopolized by
the English potter The Japanese prod
uct is finer and stronger, and above
all cheaper than the best English
ware, and Japan is providing the mar
kets with goods which were originally
Chinese monopoly.

The Ouarries from which the ancienrS
obtained their highly priced Thessalian
or verd marble have been discovered,
and are again being worked by an En-
glish company The quarries, which
have been lost for more than 1,OOO
years. are IN the neighborllood OF La
rissa. in Thessaly, Greece. The ancient
workings are very extensive, there be-
ing no fewer than ten quarries, each
producing a somewhat different de-
scription Of marble, proving without a
doubt that every variety OF this mar
bic found in the ruined palaces ana
churches of Rome and Constantinople.
and Likewise in all the mosques and
museums OF the world. came originally
from these Qualries. In fact. the very
quarry from which the famous mono
liths of st. Sophia, Constantlnople.
We're obtained can be identified with
absolute certainty by the matrices
from which they We're extracted.
In modern times verd antico marble
has only been obtainable by the de-
struction of some ancient work, and 1t
has, naturally, commanded eXtraordl-
narily high prices. AS consequence.
4 number of ordinary modern green's OF
Greek. French, Italian and American
origin have been described and sold as
verd antique marble. No one. how
ever. who is really acquainted with
the distinctive character of the genu-
inc material could be deceived by these
inferior marbles Thessalian green is
easily distinguished from any other
green marble by the following charac-
teristics: 1t is 'bEeccia' of angular
fragments of light and dark green, with
pure statuary white, the whole being
cemented together with n brighter
green. while the snow white patches
usually have their edges tinted off
with delicate tihrous green, 1adiatin.g
to the center of the white. The ce-
menting material is also of the same
fibrous structure.-Philad Rec

Jellyfish as Protectors.

A singular case of fishes living on or
with another. has just been made
known by NJ. Gadeau de kerville. The
young of the fishes called false mack
erel are almost always found in com.
pany with the large medulae known as
rhiZostomes. These young fishes swim
parallel with the long axis of the jelly
fish. and in the same direction as the
latter They remain above. beneath
and behind the animal, but never ad-
vance beyond its ulnbel 1t frequent
ly happens that some Of them introduce
themselves into the cavities OF the jelly
fish. and are then visible from the ex-
terror. owing to the transparency Of the
host.
Sometimes the school of fishes wal-
dels few yards away from the me-
dusa, but at the least alarm. Immediate
~ returns with great rapidity to occupy
Its former POSITION. 1t ~ evident that
the medusa very etficacously protects
the young fishes by means of its IN
Vulnerable singing capsules. This IS
demonstrated by the fact that when the
fishes become larger they no longer
seek protection by accompanying the
meduSa.

Left to Chance.

The Count de NJ lived in 4 state
Of single and independent blesSedness.
He was yet young, very rich, and was
surrounded by everything which could
give enjoyment to life-eXcept a wife.
He had often thought of marrying, but
had always declared off before the knot
was tied
Once, however, he found himself
nearly caught. A young lady, the
him-her fortune pleased him, not less,
perhaps. than her person and accom-
plishments, and there We're very many
reasons to Justify the union.
The Count, who had so frequently
made the first step toward matrimony,
but as frequently drew back, had not
yet decided on the course he should
adopt in this case: he had promised the
friends of the lady repeatedly, but had
made no outward sign of performance.
His future mother-inlaw, knowing
his weakness. demanded whether he
would or would not marry her daugh-
ter. and requested an immediate reply.

ton returned with more force than
ever-he trembled at the consequences,
To give up his cherished habits Of
bachelorhood was almost impossible.
He resolved to appeal to chance. and
wrote two letters-in one he accepted
the hand Of the lady, in the other, re-
fused it. He then put them into his
hat. and called the servant.
Take one of these letters" he said.
'and carry it to the chateau Off,
Which letter, SIR"
(Which you please"
The servant selected q letter, and the
Count burned the other without open.

A century seemed to elapse between
the moment of the mans departure and
| that of his return. The Count was al
| most beside himself with nervous ex-
element, not knowing what was to be
his fate. Finally, however, the domes-
| tic returned. He had carried the letter
| OF acceptance, and Count de Nj Is
now the happiest benedict In France.

a REMARKABLE MEMORY
Wa That Displayed by tho Vice Presi.
dent of the Confedc~acy.

Alexander Fl. Stephens, vice presi.
dent Of the Confectionery and Governor
Of Georgia, had a remarkable memory,
says Col c.. w. Saidell who was for a
long time his private secretary. Once,
says the Colonel, when we were in
Washington. Il big delegation visited
the city to urge Dakota's claims to
Statehood.
The delegates sent word to the dis
tlnguished Georgian that they would
call on HIN at his hotel. and at the APP
and We're introduced.
AS Mr.. Stephens was at that time dis
abled by fall he sat in his rolling
chair in the middle of the room aas1
held a running conversation with his
visitors. There were about a hundred
Dakotans present, stalwart, handsome
men, representing the best type Of
Western manhood.
After they had sampled some fine old
Georgia corn whisky their host dis
cussed the matters in which they We're
most interested, and occasionally adj
dressed one of the strangers personally,
naming him as he spoke.
During the evening he singled out in
this way at least twenty of his guests,
and astonished us all by his ready rec
objection Of names and faces. Every
man in the crowd got the idea into his
head that something striking or attract.

impressed the little man in the rolling
chair, and | could see that the dele
gates We're delighted with their recep-
ton.
Whey they had bowed themselves out
I asked Mr.. Stephens how he managed
to hold SO many names and faces i'll his
memory.
"Oh it is a mere trick" he replied.
II simply concentrated my attention
upon about twenty names and faces,
and as they We're scattered around the
room it naturally surprised my visitors
when / turned to them and addressed
them by name. OF course. it caused
every man to believe that he had deep

the President of the United States. the
members of the Cabinet. the Senators

New Jersey, the mayor, and other city
officials of Princeton, and then came
to the professors and instructors in lle

came into his mind. and the assembled

conscious of his presence, Eric stays for
