A lesser soul than plgmy-klnd I
Will thou hnvo lived through, manhojil'3

Y'et not havo known what llvluj meant 7
In tho grand battle of thy tlmo
No blow have sltilck, no nld lmvo lent 7
Thou sltlcst nerveless In tho du?t,
Unmindful of tlio glorious fray I '
Neglected In their scabbard rust
Tho weapons that should cut thy way.
Of thlno own untried strength afraid,
Nor daring to bo wholly great,
Thou offerest, for thlno lillo blade,
Tlio coward's niello plea of late.

Distrustful purposo In Its bands i
A spider's web, whoso flimsy folds (, .
Are spun about a giant's hands I ...
Wouldst thou but ouco essay the might,
Tho godlike staturo given thee,
Bwlfl as a strong llamo to Us height
Thou Bhouldst leap up erect nud free.
Butfcar tho fate thysclt may makol

And thine own powers, nngoverned, take

Sinks lower than tho pigmy's can ;
And tremble, lest heroic Mats
Dwindle to something less than man I

absorbent of water. To print n litho
graph, the stono in first polished, and
then whatever design is required i3
drawn upon it with u pencil made for
that purpose, and which contain somo
icasy matter. Lot 113 suppose that tho
artist draws a picture, or, what is sim
pler, prints out the words "American
Agriculturist." Tho stone is then wet
ted, and the water sinks into tho pores
everywhere except the places whero tho
greasy ink formed tho words;. Ink, or
paint, is then applied to tho wholo stono
with a roller just as It is to types. This
ink doe3 not adhoro to tho stono whero
it is wet, but to the words drawn with
tho greasy, pencil tho ink will stick.
Then a sheet of paper is laid over tho
stono, and tho wholo pasacd under a
press ; when tho paper Is lifted off, it
ill bo found to havo taken up tho ink
left adhering to tho words upon tho
.stone. This process can be repeated over
and over indefinitely by inking tlio I
stono and keeping it properly wot. ,
Now let us suppose thnt wo wish tho
ord "American" printed in black and
tho word" Agriculturist" printed in red
ink. The lithographer would tako two
stones, ono for each word, and print tho
black ink with ono stono and tho red ink
with another. Ho will tako caro to
havo tho word on each stono in such a
position, and to put his paper upon tho
second stono in such a manner, that the
words will bo in their proper places.
Now, let us supposo that wo wish tho
word "American" in black and yellow
instead of all black, and"Agriculturist"
red, ns before. This will rcqulro threo
stones. Tho artist will draw with his
greasy pencil, A e-i-a upon tho stono for
black,and m r-c-n upon the stono for tho
ellow, taking enro to leavo such spaces
between tho lotters,that when tho black
is printed, and tho paper placed on tho
stono for tho yellow, tho letters will bo
in their proper places. This is a very
implo case, but it will cnablo us to
ndcrstand how chrorao3 aro made.
An artist paints a picture, using tho
colors,and blending them in such a way
as will produce tho effect ho desires.
t is tlio business of tho chromo litho
grapher to tako this picturo and icpro
uco a copy by mcaus of printing In tho
manner wo havo described. Thero must
bo as many stones as thero aro colors
and tints In the picturo. Ono stonomust
havo all tho red drawn on it, another
all tho bluo,anotliernll tho brown parts
of tho pirturo, end so on. Sometimes
ouo color Is printed over another in
order to get tho proper shade, so that,
to rcproduco tho picture, tho chromo
has to bo printed a color and a bit at a
time, on from ten to twenty or moro
stones, every touch of tho painter being
faithfully copied, when tho chromo
picture has received 10 or 18 paintings,
on so mnuy dlfllrcnt stono-s, so that It
is Blinded every way like tho original, it
finally pressed upon a clean stono
vhieh has been cut In grooves liko tho
threads of canvas, mid it now has all tho
appearance of being n real painting on
canvas.
Tho reader will sco that it Is an im
moiiso work to preparo tno uuierent
stones nt first, so that each shall havo
aomo partof the plcturoiujust tho right
place and color. It takes threo to six
months to propnroasetof stones for ouo
picture, oven if but ono copy was to bo
printed. But after tho stones aro onca
prepared, copies can bo transferred to
other stones In n fow minutes, and after
that they can go on and print as many
thousands, or tens of thousands, ns nro
desired. Good artists ntchromo printing
such ns make our pictures do their;
work with such faithful minuteness
that not only persons in general, but
even tho nrllat himself, would bo puss
zlcd to distinguish tho copy from tho
original painting without tho closest
examination Agriculturist.

Acutiou3 work, on "Tlio Humorous

wus that of going in procession through

by tliojiiisband. This custom existed
in Darmstadt up to tho inlddlo of tho
p.ovunloonth century, and was so com
mon that a donkey was kept always
ready for tho purnosO in tho capital and
neighboring villages. If tho woman
struck her husband in such n mnnncr
that ho could not' ward off tho blow,
tho donkey was led tiy tho man who
had cliargoof hlra ; if not then by tlio
husband himself. At St. Goar a miller
was allowed a certain quantity of wood
Trom tho forest belonging to tlio town,
lu return for which ho was bound to
supply a donkey to tho municipality
whotiovor ron ulrod forthocliastlsonlont
iof a'fccoldlng wife. Another very old
.customer was that of punishing a hen
pecked husband by removing tlio roof
of Ills house, on tno ground that tho
man who allowed his wife to rulout
homo does not deservo any protection
against wind and weather. If two
women fought In public, they wcro
each put in it sort of closed sentry-box,
which only left their heads exposed,
and then posted oppo-dto each other in
tho market-place, whero they remained
for an hour, face to face, but unnblo to
uso their hands or feet. A common
punishment for scolding women was
tho "shameful stone," which was hung
around ;thelr nooks. This stono was
usually In tho shapo of a bottlo. At
Hamburg libellers and slanderers woro
compelled to stand on a block and striko
themselves threo times on tho mouth
as a sign of repentance. This custom
still existed thirty or forty years ago.
u some towns tho ''shameful stono"
was in the shapo of a, loaf, whonco tho
German saying, "A heavy bit of broad."
At Lubeck It was in tho shapo of an
oval dish, and in other places In that of
woman putting out her tongue. Such
stones wero usually very heavy. Ac
cording to tho law of Dortmund and
Halbcrstadt (1319,) they wero to weigh
hundred-weight. Tlioso who wcro
wealthy could purchase exemption
from this punishment, with a bagful of
ops tied with red ribbon.
Anecdotes or Chief- Justice Marshall.
Judgo Marshall's simplicity of char
acter and nbsont-mindedncss havo been
tho themo of a number of anecdotes.
Tho ono bosf known is about his puzzlo
over tho buggy and tho sapling. Turn
ing asldo ono day to avoid ono of those
awful mud-holes which abound in Vir
ginia country-roads, tho axlo of his
buggy encountered a stout sapling. Tho
sapling was between tho hub of tho
wheel and tho body of tho buggy. Too
big tohonddownandtoosupploto break
this sapling seemed to tho judgo to ho
Tholiy uneoiKiucmblc. What to do ho
new not. Ho got down out of tho
buggy tho better to npply his great in
tellect to tlio knotty subject nnd tostudy
it thoroughly up. While ponderine:
ninly, a uogro man carno along.
"Uncle," said the Clilef-Justice, "I
Ish you would tell mo about this sap
ling. I can't got over it, nnd I can't get
iround it, and I don't want to stay hero
nil day and miss court. What do you
think I had better do?"
Tho old negro could not repress a
broad but silent grin. "Why, olo mas
tor," said he, "I 'spec' do bos' thing
you kin do is to back yo' buggy till
ou git clar of do saplin,' den turn do
hade (head) of yo' hoss.and den you
kin void do saplin' and go to coto slick
s gooso grease."
"Thauk you thank you kindly, un
cle, I should never hnvo thought of
that in tho world. You aro a man of
superior mind. Tiiero's half a dollar
for you." And the judgo drove joyful
ly off.
Anothor anecdote, illustrating tho
amo simple-mindedness and easy good
nature, lias, so far as I am aware, never
been in print. It it this : When Judgo
Mnrshall lived in Richmond his oppo
site neighbor wn3 Colonel Pickett, fath
er of tho Confederate General Georgo
E. Pickett of Gettysburg famo. Colonel
Pickett wus u man of wealth,lived woll,
and was not contont unless everything
about his household boro tho marks of
good living. His horses wcro his prldo,
and wero consplcuotH overy whero for
their splonded appearance, being ns
sleek, fat nnd high-spirited as abundant
food and excellent grooming could mako
thoni. Judgo Marshall's horses, on tho
othor hand, wero notoriously lean and
unkempt. Everybody but tho Judgo
had loug remarked this. Al last it was
brought to his notice, with tho sugges
tion that his c.trrlage-drlvor neglected
tho horses, sold much of their fond, and
appropriated tho money t Ills own uso,
good deal of it going, no doubt, for
liquor.
Tho Judgo called him up without do
lay i "Dick, "what is tho reason Colonel
Pickett's horses are in such splendid
condition, while mlno nro almost skel
etons? ,1 nm afraid you neglect them,
don't half-curry them, and don't half-
feed them."
Dick, not expecting tho attack, was
fairly posed. Ho hemmed and hawed
nwhilo till ho could gather Ids negro
wits about him, nnd then said: "Mars
John, look nt you Is you fat'.'"
"No," said the Judge "decidedly
not."
"Well, look -at old mjss" (Mrs.Mnr-
Blmll)-l3 alio fat?"
"No.'!
"Den look at me Js I fat?"
"No."
"Den look nt yo' horses is dey fat?"
"No." .
','Now dun, you Jcs look nt Kunnel

Ids liorsos fat, ids dogs fat all fat. Do
troof is, Mars Joliu, fut run in do Pick
ett frttn'ly, nnd it don't run In our'n,
Dat's all."
" Well," paid tho. Judge, ufter a little
reflection, "thero Is it good deal In that
It nover occurred tomu before." Ho
turned back into lil-v htudy, nnd Dick
was nover troubled uuy more. -Lippliv

Paris correspondent of tho Now
A

Ono of tho vacant low upon tin outer
boulevard Is given up to a sort of fair.
Thero aro sovernl small shows nnd jug
glorj' booths. Upon tho outsido ofn
small shanty ono sees a largo painted
canvass representing a number of wild
animals, aud In tho centro a royal Ben
gal tiger is struggling In tho folds of nn
ctiormous boa. Ou Tuesday ovonlng
an animated crowd was gathered beforo
this show, so veral' persons accusing tho
showman of deceiving tho public.
Thoy hail paid ilvo sous to boo tho ani
mals, and had soon but ono auako, and
that was dead. Tho showman protested
tlio bete was only sleeping A coun
try man, armed with a heavy stick, and
followed by a frisky llttlo dog, proposod
to settle tho matter, and declared that
If ho found any deception ho would
enter u complaint against tho showman
Tho public acclaimed their brawny
champion, and payiug again, out of
curiosity or a senso of public duty,they
ontered tho show. Tho snnko was ns
quiet as ovor. Tho countryman walked
ibout him, tapped on tho glass, nnu
Anally decided that tho snako was not
alive. "If you como when ho lakes his
food you" wjlll uco whothcr ho is nllvo or
not," said tho snowman. Tlio country'
man declared that, thlsiwns merely to
put oil" tho public. "No man can do-
celvo mo with Hiieli shown ns this," ho
said mpjestlcally ; and the crowd ap
plautiod. "You liuy n rabbit for him
then," said tho showman, sulkily, Tho
countryman ww sosuro that no man
could decelvo him that ho offered to

Tlio crowd became menacing. Thoy
threatened to tear down his shanty,
nnd to march him off to tho police.
Holding the dog in ono hand, his stick
in tho other, tho countryman allowed
ono inlnuto only for opening tho cngo.
Tho showman entreated, and wna
laughed nt for his pains. Tlio timo had
nenrly expired when llo raised his lid,
and with a glance of triumph around,
tho countryman throw in his dog. Ho
had barely touched tho floor ore tho boa
raised his head, and quick as a flash ho
enveloped tlio terror-stricken dog and
crushed hliii in his coils. Thero was
bno plaihlivo yelp, a cracking of bones,
and that was all. Tho countryman was
thunderstruck. Ho took off his hat and
draw his hand nccrosa his brow. At
that moment his eyes fell upon tho
showman. With a bound ho sprang
upon him, giving him a blow which
felled him to tho earth, and two or
threo moro in quick succession. Tho
showman was killed on tho spot. Be
foro tho Commissairo tho countryman
expressed many regrets for his viva
cious movements, and so did tho weep
ing wife and children of tho showman.
'Mr. President," ho said,"Inm very
sorry indeed thnt I killed thosaltlm

bo tried for "homicldo by imprudence,"
and will get from threo to five years.
About Adnm.
Wo havo always believed In Adam.
Wo havo looked upon him as ono to
whom mankind has been under pe
culiar obligations. Standing by tho
sido of Evo as tho first married man,
dressed in a sumptuous bear skin, ho
appears to us as wo look backward
through tho dim vista of tho centuries
upon him as a person indispensablo to
tho future of his race. Certain philoso
phers would try to make us believe
that this majestic figure is a monkoy ;
and sometimes tho results of human
events, elections for instanco, seem un
accountable, except on tho Darwinian
hypothesis. But wo hold that tho man
who would reflect upon tho dear do
parted in sucli nn uugratoful way docs
not deservo tho .sympathies of his kind ;
as for ourselves, we intend to nail our
fig leaf to tho oust and cling to tho
old Adam. What hi' know about farm-
ingserved him in good stead in tho
hour of his disappointment, and,
though overmuch given to lying in tho
shade and munching apples, wo know
that when ho found himself ouo morn
ing on tho wrongsido of a certaiu gar
den gato ho indulged in no unmanly
ropining3 ho neither whimpered over
his Alto nor. mado faces and, shook his
fist at tho guardian of tho forfeited pro
mises, but diligently set himself to
work to develop tho ordinary crab Into
tho New York pippin.
There aro certain times when wo llko
to withdraw our minds from tho tur
moil of the present age and dwell upon
tho character of this grand old patri
arch. Sometimes, oven when our desk
may bo covered with hat accounts lost
on tho election, wo get to thinking on
Adam and don't caro how big tho liber
al majority is in Now York. Adam
was never troubled about election bets,
or anything else, except tho grafts in
his orchard. He had no mother-in-law
and his wife nover bothered him with
her milliner's bill. Ho had a natural
antipathy to snakes, but ho was
nover worried over missing .shirt but
tons.
Ho never supported an unsuccessful
candidate for president and saw his
hopes of a beat in tho cabinet grow
dimmer and dimmer s the reports
cama in. Nor went his cars deafened
and his IVcliuga hurt by tho booming
of thocaunou of tho radical party over
at New Albany. Neither did ho re
celvo tho ironical aud mallciou3 con
oratulations of his neighbors tho morn
Ing after tho election on tho fortitudo
with which ho boro up under adverse
news. His oyes wero never offended
by tho crowing roosters and flaunting
banners of his opponents ; for, barring
his ono unfortunate speculation in fruit
undertaken at tlio Instance of his
sleoplng partner when tho devil mado
a corner in apples, his life was eminent
ly a success.
To bo sure, ho had never had tho
proud consciousness of having establish
principles tl.at ho know would ulti
mately win In spito of tho influence of
a hostilo administration that for a while-
brought Inovltablo defeat upon him
nor did ho havo tho pleasuro of seeing
tho old parly lines of Ignorance and
reludico broken into fragments and
disappearing before his vigorous assaults;
but as ho sat upon tho hills facing
tho sunset, in tho happy tlmo beforo
his eldest boy began to bo fist and run
around with strango women from tho
land of Nod, ho could watch ills shoot
ing scions without n care, nor trouble
himself with tho future or his off
spring. llo stands for us ns tlio grand exem
plar of sucess, ns wo hear tho noiso of
unsympathetic thousands snouting over
ompty victories, and smell tho fumesof
powder burnt In honor of a fitful and
phemeral triumph, our thoughts go
back six thousand years or moro to
grand old Adam, and then
Not a wave of troublo lolls across tho peace
ful breast."
