THOSE SMALL WHITS HANDS. Those ?mall, white hands, how peacefully fciey rest, Crossf olded there upon her little breast, And were it not that they oft rise and sink, With her calm breathing, one would surely think That she had dropped asleep at death's behest. I love to feel upon my cheek impressed The touch of those soft palms in mute re quest; ' : For" love dwells in those palms so white and pink; Those small, white hands. Perhaps in future days they will arjesc A portion of the woe to man bequest; Perchance may lure from dire destruc tions brink Sorna erring souls by holding forth the link To biad them unto God, content and blest, Those small, white hands. Taelr Search for tlio Beautiful. Two Brooklyn girls in New York on a shopp.ng expedition were the victims of a laughable contretempts tho other day. Near (he corner of Thirtieth street and Broadway is a little shop conspicuously elegart from the outside, undecorated by any si,rn, and without a proprietor's name on its plate-glass front. The windows are adorned by suits of old armor, by busts, statues, antiques, and silk-plush curtains; through the door one catches an inviting glimpse of embroidered screens and plate glass mirrors. In the innocence of their heart'- they walked in to price some article which caught their fancy, and before they were well aware what manner of a place their search for the beautiful had led thorn into, they found themselves before a carved mahogony bar behind which the white aproned attendants were briskly mixing the morning cocktails for some overdressed young dudes. The girls retreated precipi tately and quickly gained the street, vow ing they would never enter another un known shop in New York city. They had learned, at the cost of experience and many painful blushes, that a gilded exterior does not always indicate a Japanese store or a bric-a-brac shop.?New York Cor. Cleveland Leader. *.n Actor Out of Employment. "Do you rcquirre an artist of my cali ber?" asked a tall, erect and intensely solemn man, as he folded his arm across his breast and struck an attitude of pic turesque port "Well," responded a brisk, young chap in a checkerboard suit and a waxed mustache, as he looked up from his desk at the applicant, "I'm filling up my 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' party. Would vou like to do St. Clare?" "What are the terms?" and the old timer assumed an it-revolts-me air. "Twenty dollars a week and expenses," was the reply; "but I'm trganizing a genuine working company, understand no useless material. You'd have to double up for Legree, and also go on for the doctor and the deacon. I shall only carry seven people altogether, and might call on you occasionally to take charge of the ?props.'" That is no exaggeration. Nor is a company of seven to play "Uncle Tom'a Cabin" unusual on the poorer circuits. The contract wa3 signed on tho spot, after some haggling as to an advance of $10 to keep life in the actor until the time for . starting out."?"Uncle Bill's" New York Letter. Introduction of the Potato. The French Intended doing honor to the potato by celebrating the cenetenary of of Parmentier, who not only introduced that root into France, but inveigled his countrymen into eating it Parmentior's efforts to popularize a plant which has since become a staple article of food were all in vain, until he bethought him of the old proverb concerning stolen fruit, and planted a very large field with potatoes. When they were fltfar digging, he caused them to be j protected all day long by gendarmes. When the officers were with drawn his potato field was plundered. TEe taste'thus' acquired spread with amazing rapidity; Parmentier had :a title bestowed upon him by Louis XVL, and took for his crest a potato flower. At the festival all the different varieties of the potato are to' bo exhibited and all the instruments used in its cultivation.?Jos ten Budget Vaccination on a Grand Scale. A correspondent of The Paris Temps proposes that a bust of Radama II, king of Madagascar, be placed in the vestibule of the Pasteur institute. Radama II. flourished about 1801, and so knew noth ing of M. Pasteur, but he was an enthus iastic vaccinationist, thinking that all complaints might be prevented by some such treatment as has proved efficacious in the case of small-pox. With a view to proving his theory, he obtained the virus of all diseases known in his dominions, placed his collections in a large bottle, and Inoculated his council of ministers with the mixture. It proved that he had dis covered not so much a panacea for all hu man ills as a speedy means of producing a change of government It is recognized, however, that Radama IL meant well.? Chicago Tribune. Matrimony Under False Pretenses. Proceedings, it is said, are about fo be begun by a Frenchman who bears a fa mous name to obtain a divorce from his American wife upon the truly noble ground that her father led him into matri mony under false pretenses by promising his daughter a dowry which he was not in , position to give. Incidents like this throw a licht like that in the apothecary's win dow on the tinseled romance of the coro neted woolngs, go dear to the fancy, I fear, of not a few transatlantic damsels. One hardly knows whether to laugh or become angry at the rapid transformation of the republican western girls into European diunes, becoming "mors a royalist than the king."?Paris Letter.

A few days ago a reporter witnessed at North beach, while listening'to what tho wild waves were telling to each other, the putting into practice of a strange supersti tion. A belief obtains among many of the credulous all over the world that ocean or river water, if collected in a certain way with certain vessels, is a positive cure for many diseases that flesh is heir to. The best known instance of this belief is the strong faith of the natives of India in the healing powers of the rivers Ganges and Euphrates. At a little cove between Meiggs' wharf and the Shelby smelting works two ladies, both apparently belonging to the most re spectable social ranks, were the actors in the strange drama witnessed by the re porter. One of the ladies stood on the 6hore close to the rising tide, and was counting a long string of black and white cowrie shells, while repeating a formnla of which the reporter could not quite catch the meaning, but it sounded like re peating a number of numerals in Spauish. Standing in the water knee deep, regard less of the ruin to her clothing, was the other participant in the ceremonies. In one hand she held a white flint-glass bot tle, with an extremely long, thin neck and a capacity of about a pint. With the other hand she was carefully gathering the foam from the crest of each incoming wavelet, using as a scoop a large blue shell of the coquille variety. The contents of the shell she carefully decanted Into the bottle. The lady skimmer of the seas refused to answer any ot tho inquiries of the over curious, preserving a strict and freezing silence, but the counting lady was more communicative. She said: "My friend is gathering the sca-foam to bathe her little sick dog in. You may laughat us, but we know by trial that the' water as we are now getting it is a sure cure for the poor thing. Unless we observe all the neces sary forms it Is time and work wasted. There! Ah, poor thing! She has to com mence all over again. She put the water without the foam into the bottle, and that spoils all she had already got. We were told of this cure some time ago. I tried it on my maltose cat, and it cured her, sure. AU there is to do is to wash tho sick ani mal In it; that's all there is of it. Yes, it may look very silly, the whole thing, but we are willing to be laughed at if our little darlings can be cured."?San Francisco Call. Doomed Unfortunates in Florida. But who are these I meet at every turn who seem to have stayed awhile?longer perhaps, than they will stay anywhere else in this world, whose hacking cough jars so painfully on the sympathetic nerves!' They are the army of invalids, or rather the stragglers from the main army, left here in its northward march. And they are one and all "disgusted with Florida." They all think it a bad place I for invalids. They are all "just waiting here a few days, till they get strong enough" to go to Minnesota, Colorado, or California. Many of them have their trunks packed to start; one or two tell me they have bought their tickets and "would have started to-day only I caught a fresh cold, and so am not gaining strength just now." Poor fellows! Poor, doomed, un fortunates, halting feebly or* the verge of the tomb, and still believing every siren song of hope. I am not hard-hearted, I hope, and I I certainly have personal cause to sym pathize with consumptives; but I confess that I arrange my movements so as to lis ten to them as little as possible. For I am satisfied, and long/ have been, that con sumption is contagious?very contagious, indeed, to those who have a slight ten dency that way?and between two resorta of anything of equal attractiveness, I would urge the incipient consumptive to go where he will hear the fewest bke him self. It is not only breathing a close air with them?that may be avoided?but to hear them talk and cough will certainly aggravate the consumptive tendency in another. I fancy that one reason my seven years in Utah and the Rocky Moun tains did me so much good was that I associated entirely with healthy people miners, Mormons, Indians, railroad men, soldiers, and hunters. All the prominent people I saw or thought much about were healthy.?"Parke" in Chicago Tunes. Nature's Favorite Garden ?pot. The terrestrial flowerlandpar excellence is the Caspian slope of the Caucasus range, near the pass of Derbent, the an cient Pylfe Caucasite. The mountains, to a height of 5,000 feet, are all summer aflame with flowers, both in the forest and open glades. AH sorts of blooming creep ers stretch their festoons from tree to tree; flowery mountain meadows attract swarms of butterflies; hollyhocks and tlger-lilles are found near the upper limits of arboreal vegetation. A correspondent of The Ausland, who visited that Caspian Florida in the company of a party of Rus sian railway surveyors, comes to the con clusion that the highlands of the east were, after all. nature's favorite garden spots, and that the master races of man kind who abandoned that paradise have, iu many respects, gone further to fare worse. ?Dr. Felix L.

He wore business suits while in his office, and his favorite hat was a tall plug, black during the winter and white in the summer. His fondness for fishing was well known, and it is said that he caught the largest salmon ever caught with a fly in this country. During his presidency he made many fish ing trips, and about the only presents ho would receive were those consisting of fishing-rods. .When he left the White House he wont off fishing us the first thing, and I think his happiest days were spent with the rod in his hands.?"Carp" in Cleve land Leader. A Substitute for a Drink. It is a little strange that we have no other amusement for our friends but to ask them to a drink. Several years ago I carried a box of seidlltz powers, and it was my habit at a summer hotel to wake up some man on the floor and compel him, in a friendly way, to have a seidlite power with me. Nobody was allowed to refuse, and the only way he could bo permitted to go sleep again was to toko a seidlitz powder. In a little while all the men in the house became gooddooking; complexions im proved; but at last I ran out of seidlitz powders.

I THE STREET SCENES OF TUNIS. A Bloving: Ovlnc; Panorama That Is ol Intense Interest to the Stranger. The street scenes of Tunis are a novelty to a Emopean or an American, as yon see nothing like them except in an oriental city, or perhaps in Tunis itself. As I sit by my hotel window and gaze down upon the street, the moving living panorama that is continually passing by from early morning until late at night is ever chang ing like the prisms in a kaleidoscope and never" devoid of intense interest to the stranger. Camels are as plenty as horses in an American city, and I seldom look out into the street without seeing more or less of these uncouth animals crowding their way through the narrow thorough fares, sometimes singly or in pairs, and not infrequently a long caravan of forty or fifty or more coming in from far away interior towns, heavily laden with mer chandise and all manner of country pro ducts. Strapped to the backs of the camels, un til it would seem as if they would break down with the heavy burthens, are sacks of wheat and barley, bales of wool and compressed rags, hay, cord wood for burn ing and, occasionally, sticks of timber. Many have largo Spaniers made of grass, thrown over their backs, which are filled with vegetables of different kinds, earthen pottery, rude stoneware, etc. These cara vans are usually preceded by an Arab mounted on a donkey, who acts as the leader, and who seems to have perfect control of the long line of camels follow ing. In going through the streets there is a stampede of the motley crowd of Arabs, and of vehicles, if there happens to be any, to places of safety, for, like sailing vessels, the camels have the right of way, and in very narrow streets, with the big paniers bulging out from either side of their bod ies, they occupy all the space between the low buildings, to the exclusion of street loungers and wayfarers. In the kaleidoscope of humanity that meets the eye from my hotel window are the Arab money changers, with baskets of coins on their arms: "medicine men" in their grotesque costumes, who. by their strange, unearthly incantations,' and for small fees, pretend to save souls from purgatory; wretched, half-naked beggars, howling, moaning, and beseeching, with outstretched palms, for the smallest of fa vors in the way of food or copper coins; street venders, bearing on their heads or shoulders baskets of merchandise or vege tables; jugglers plying their craft: Arab priests, or "holy men," to whom the rabble pay deference by getting out of their way and making low salaams as they pass'by. Occasionally one of the bey's ministers, or possibly the bey himself, in his gilded car riage drawn by four or six mules, accom panied by an escort of ten or twelve offl cere in gorgeous oriental uniforms, mounted on splendid Arabian horses, goes doshing by, followed, perhaps, by a num ber of mounted Bedouins, who are testing the speed of their favorite steeds with those of their illustrious rulers.?Tunis Cor. Boston Herald. The Fourteen Mistakes of Life. Somebody has condensed the mistakes of life, and arrived at the conclusion that there ore fourteen of them. Most people would say, if they told the truth, that there was no limit to the mistakes of life; that there were like tho drops in the ocean or the sands of the shore in number, but it is well to be'accurate. Here, then, are fourteen great mistakes: "It is a greut mistake to set up our own standard of right and wrong, and Judge people ?cC?rtfr ingly; to measure tho enjoyment of others by our own; to expect unformity of opin ion in this world; to look for judgment and experience in youth; to endeavor to mould all dispositions alike; to yield to j immaterial trifles; to look for perfection in our own actions; to worry ourselves and others with what can not be remedied; not to alleviate all that needs alleviation as far as lies in our power; not to make al lowances for the infirmities of others; to consider everything impossible that we can not perform; to believe only what our finite minds, can grasp; to expect to ba able to understand everything." ? Ex change. Tattooing Abolished In Japan. The Japanese government, in its anx iety to complete the occidentalism of the nation, is passing very paternal measures. ' Its latest piece of legislation prohibits the favorite practice of tattooing. No doubt the habit is a little barbarous, but it boasts on honorable antiquity, and its re sults are extremely picturesque, as was shown by the Greek nobleman who exhib ited the charms of his figured person to Londoners a year or two ago. The sup pression of art?tic development Is seldom advisable, and, except in the case of sump tuary laws, the limit of state interference are surely reached when the right of per sonal adornment is infringed. And tattoo ing can scarcely be styled sumptuous, though doubtless one effect of its abol ition will be to throw a number of artists out of employment. But what seems to prove a graver objection to tho new law is that tho Japanese, without the assist ance of the family totem pricked on the skin, will experience considerable tlifli culty In distinguishing one another.?St. James1 Gazette. Washington's Ited-Kooui at Alt, Vornon. Washington's bed-room is almost ex actly as it was on the night of his death. Even tho coverlid on the bed is the same which covered him during his dying hours, and in the fireplace are the andirons which were in use when Dr. Craik, on that memorable night in December, 17W), sat by the fire listening to the terrible breath iug of the dying man. Alter his death Mrs. Washington never entered the room, but wont up on tho third floor to a little hip-rooted room, which she never left from that time to the day of her death, which followed eighteen months later. When asked the rep-son for choosing out of the whole mansion this mean little room, sho said it was because from that window only could she see Washington's tomb. During the little while she survived him her chair was always placed at that window, and even from her deathbed she could watch the grave"?Washington Letter. A Itronze Boauty in the Saddle.

Chicago Tribune Tho Power of the Washington Hand Pi cas. A large man with a moustache brooding over his mouth like some great national sor row visited The Bell office this week. Ho was traveling for an eastern house which makes a specialty of printing materials and sight drafts. He tried to sell us a large press with wheels on it, and a strongly made and binding chattel mortgage attachment. Ho spoke very highly of this latter feature and said their mortgages wero never known to break Ho said the mortgages thoy were now putting in for printers in the northwest were alike satisfactory, to themselves and tho sheriff. Ho also spoke incidentally of the press itself, and we gathered that it was to be sot up and fed with whito paper, which would como out nicely printed with tariff editorials and original clippings. We judged that either a Democratic or Republican press could bo ordered and that there would be no extra charge for an attachment to ran in an original poem. Our next impulse was to seize a pen and write out a cheek sufficiently able-bodied to cover the cost of recording the mortgage. Turning, we caught a reproachful glanco from the dark, cast-iron countenance of the old Washington hand press and desisted. Part of the desist was caused by not being able to call to mind tho address of any bank which had ever put hi scaled proposals for lmndling our checks. To turn the matter off wo asked tho man if ho had a sample press with him. Ho said he had not Then wo said that wo did not believe that his houso would start him out on the road without one and that it was our opinion he had pawned it Ho seemed agi tated, and after leaving a bill for some typo we ordered of his firm last week ho went ont When tho press peddler had formally put on his injured look and jumped tho office, we turned to tho old hand press w;th a sigh of relief. After all, that stylo of press seems to giro tho greatest satisfaction. No ono can write intelligently of tho power of the press who has not pulled it It seems to have early in lifo ordered a large consignment of choico, springy power, and to still havo most of it on hand. It is all used in holding back Tho man who said the press was tho greatest power in tho world had pulled tho Washington hand variety. Some people may think that "Wash ington should have kept right on crossing the Delaware and freezing to death at Valley Forge, instead of stopping to invent a balky printing press. All this will go to explain why wo still work off the paper on the stationary press, when we might have ono which would be amply competent to get up on the editorial tripod and put its feet on tho table. Some people may prefer to havo a press sitting around tho office blowing about having more brains than the editor, but wo do not long for it Give us, rather, tho simple society of the hand press, which will not shy at the cars, and was never known to kick its hind feet through tho dashboard.?
