An Indianapolis colored barber is

seven pounds of roast beef, forty-five
pounds of vegetables, a pone of corn

upon this alleged performance, the Haiti

Lieutenant Dudley Mills.of tho British
army, in a recent expedition to Shnng
Tung, China, discovered the sculptured
stones near Chiasiang, which he was the
first foreigner to visit. The inscriptions
and figiyos nro cut on (ho walls of tombs,
and are mainly devoted to the illustra

be seventeen centuries old, Biid the first
description of theiu was given by n Chi

The Philadelphia Pre has been mak
ing a chemical examination of the output
pf Philadelphia bakeries. The result is
startling. The amount eliminate of lead
used in coloring cakes and buns by the
Quaker City linkers is astonishingly large.
Speaking of tho chemist's report, the
Vest says: "It shows that even at this
season of the year, when eggs nre cheap,
nnd tho inducement to the substitution
of lead dye is largely removed, tho poi
sonous material was found in six out o(
twenty-four cases." From May, 1884, to
May, 1887, eleven deaths have occurred
in a certain locality in Philadelphia which
are now believed to have been caused by
poisoned food sold by a baker, who is tc
be prosecuted at once on the charge ol
homicide. That so many persons should
have fallen victims lo lead poisoning is
not strange. Tho effect of a compara
tively small qu mtity of eliminate of lead,
or chromo yellow, ns it is cnllod, on the
human system is fatal.

the notes With surprising rapidity and ac
curacy, and always counts her own time
when playing. ' Her knowledge and ob

used in music is unsurpassed by any play
er. Her first nppearanco upon tho stage
occurred recently iu tho opera house be
fore tho largest crowd over gathered in
tho city, which audience sho entertained
by a solo on the piano. Blanche's np
pearanco upon the stage was greeted
' with loud and extended applause, when
she whs lifted to the piano stool and de
liberately executed, without a single mis
takeor hesitation, to the astonishment of
everybody present, a charming solo, then

to a little rocking chair with tho dignity,
grace and composure that would do

A party of treasure-seekers, backed by

A SUMMER SO NO.
Ol spirit of tho summertime!
Bring back tlie roses to the dells,
The swallow from her distant clime,
The honey -Ikw from drowsy cells,

Bring bark tho friendship of the sun,
The glided evenings calm and late,
When merry children homeward run,
Anil pooping stars bid lovers wait.
Bring back tlie singing and the scent,
Of meadow lands at dewy prime;

Thou spirit of the summertime.

HOW AM ASA SNOW GOT ON
HIS FEET.
Amasa Snow sat in his little law office,
his feet on the top rim of his stove, nnd
his stove full of wood and red hot. His
oflice was about a rod from his house,
and quite near the high wooden gate
lending into the village street. Over the
door lend, "Prothoniitary nnd Attomcy-at-law."
It was a huge, faded sign in
black letters; one could not go by Amnsa
Snow's ollicc nnd not know of the busi
ness of its occupant. The trouble
with tho sign was it was nut alluring
enough. bqu'uo Slayton, down the
street, w ith a very small sign and over a
gio cry store, and without a big white
house, and a family name nnd connec
tion Squire Slayton somehow got all
the business there was going on in Kast
Chcstcrvillc. Amnsn Snow sat tilted back
in bis wooden arm-chair, pulling his long
chin I card, scratching the few gray hairs
in his sloping gray head, and trying to
conjure up some new scheme by which
ho could beat Slayton again, nnd defer the
foreclosure sale. He had deferred it five
times on one excuse and another; but
Slayton had hun this time; there was no
help for it. Tho old place would have to
be sold the old plai e where his boyhood
had been passed until he went to college,
and wheie he had lived ever since, and
seen bis mx gills grow up about him.
His six motherless girls! He len'hcd
down and broke a splinter off a bit of
pine-wood by the stove, nnd began to
chew hard on it. Whnt would become
of the girls? Every one n beauty in hi
eyes; every one worthy of marrying tho
Governor of tho State. How could he
tell theiH that the sale ,of their old home
could be postponed no longer; that every
devise and trick, nnd every legal quibble,
had been tried nnd tried again? He dared
not tell tho girls. He lyoked out
of the winilow; it was raining. An April
shower, to be sure, with the pro-peel of
a golden sunset later on, .but making
everything outside under the trees look
very muddy nnd dismal. Amasa Snow
felt very much depressed. Fate appeared
to lie ngainst him.
There were his law books a couple of
thousand dingy calf volumes, not kept up
to date the inheritance from the judge,
his father, but even the law books were
'chaltelcd,' as they said, i. lnort
gnged, quite beyond their value. Every
thing he had, in fact, was mortgaged.
He had come this wet April day to the
end ol things, rscxt week enmc tlie sale,
He felt like saying the deluge. He had
not enough money to take hi in and his
family out West.
That was his plan to go West. He
hardly felt his fifty years. He felt young
nnd energetic when he thought of the
West. By-thc-by, there was his brother,
Elisha his brother who in his youth was
so like him. He was West in Cali
fornia. He had not seen him for twenty
years. The Inst he had heard from him
was a request to tend ou a hundred dol
lars. That was five yenrs ago. He had
sent him fifty, nnd nothing had been
heard from Elisha since, except his name
endorsed across tlie back of the ( hock,
showing that he had received tlie money.
No, it was clear that Elisha could
never help him. Elisha had caused him
to loose several thousand dollars once in
a mine. Elisha's name was always a
great bugbear in his family sini e. No,
Elistro could not be expected to help
him. Stay! An idea. A masa Snow be
gan to poke tho red hot fire vigorously.
It was a bleak raw day, but the tiro
was hot enough in that little ollice if left
alone. An idea. Elisha should he made
to help him. It was a last hope, but it
fired him with enthusiasm. He readied
up into a dusty book -ease, nnd got down
a file of letters. He was looking for
Elisha's address.
Just then there came a tup nt tho oflice
door. Amusa turned round. "fly
George!" he cried, nearly carried off his
feet with astonishment. "It's Elisha
in yropria persona!"
"I have come home,'' raid Elisha,
meekly. "I havo come hongjto
neighbor round."
"And just in the nick of time, Elisha.
Mighty glad I am to see you!" Then a
thought occurred to him, as he shook his
brother's hand, with that feeble wave iu
tho air so common in Southern Connecti
cut, ho would not tell Elisha of his finan
cial condition. He might not help him
li ne euei. ao, nc would Keep nis own
counsel.
The two brothers sat down by the
stove, and Amasa threw another slick of
soft pine ou the fire. It was frightfully
hot. "See here, Elisha," ho said, after
a pause. "How s Hie (.rami American

"Nothiu' nt nil;"

" So it was. But we struck hard pun

know," replied Amasa,
"I ought to ask how
you have happened ou East this way."
"Why, yes; you ought to show tome
brotherly feeling. It's natural."
" Well, Elisha, have you got any
ready money iu your pocket I"
" A thousand dollars."
Amasa wulked over to his old rusty
fafe. "Better put the money in here;"
he asked, casually. Elisha handed him
a roll of bills. "Don't feci like puyin'
back any of thut two thousand;" a-kc l
Amasa, facetiously, referring to the loan
he had made him iu the mining scheme.
"No," said Elisha, "I don't." After a
pause, while his brother locked the safe,
lie said: "That thousand hi the last cent
I re got ia th world."
"Glad you've come home. Glad you've
come to live with me," snid Amasa, rub
bing his hands, "The girls will be so
happy to sec you, Come, let's go in the
house."
He slipped an old, well-worn overcoat
over his shoulders without buttoning it,
and they went out into the rain. Elisha
was very well dressed. Any one would
have taken him for a well-to-do We-dcrn
bank president. He looked sleek nnd
well fed. There wasn't a trace of nnxiety
about his face. Otherwise the brothers
looked very much alike.
As they were crossing the threshold of
the house, Amasa whispered: "Just tell
the girls you're a millionaire; for a joke,
you know."
Elisha winked. "Yes," he said, "for
a joke wish I was, though,'- and they
entered tho parlor. There were the six
girls; six good-looking, hearty, frank,
healthy country girls. They all rose
nnd gave a veritable shout of welcome.
They usually gave a united shout when
ever anything pleased them. They fairly
screamed when Elisha opened the door.
They flew at him. They kissed him.
They took his hat for him; they took
away his overcoat and umbrella. And
Artie they were impressed when their
father said, proudly, "And then to think
that your uncle has returned to us a
millionaire!"
"A millionaire I really?'' chorusscd
the girls.
Elisha began to feel his old boastful
spirit, for which he had long been noted,
coming over him again. "Why," he
said, "out in California we don't reckon
a million much money. My five million
dollars don't count very much out there."
"Elisha says he is going to build a pub
lic library building for East Chesterville,"
put in Amasa, without a grimace.
"A public! library, chorusscd the girls.
"He says he don't mind paying off the
debt on tho church cither," added their
prevaricator of a father.
How perfectly splendid I"
' yo one would h
have thought the Grand
American Spread eagle Mine would have
panned out so well," said Amasa.
By this time the six girls wctc dancing
around the room in their excitement.
They had never been so excited since
John Mawlev, hc son of Mawlev, the
mill-owner at the other end of the village.
had become engaged to Bessie Snow,their
eldest sister said Mawlry having con
eluded, on the consent and advice of his
father, to break off snid engagement,
after knowledge of Lawyer ."snow s
financial condition came out and became
common gossip.
"Elisha fnys the Sundny-school shall
have a new organ if it takes his last cent,
said their father, laughing heartily. He
could not hold him-elf in.
"Well," said Elisha. "not quite nsbad
ns that. But they shall have a new inclo
deon yes. "
This capped the climax. The Sunday
school had been holding picnics, straw
berry festivals, lectures, busy bees, nnd I
don't know what besides in which the
six girls had taken a lively interest--to
raise money enough for nn organ; but,
do their best, they could raise only about
fifty dollars. They threw themselves
upon their uncle, nnd as there was not
quite enough of him to go around, they
threw themselves upon their father. It
was a touching scene. Two of the girls
were in tears, and one of them was heard
to say: "Our deliverer!"
Suddenly Bessie looked up. "It's
late," she said "it's drcadfullly late for
the sewing society!"
When they wero alone, Elisha said:
"You've done it! you've gone nnd done
it! In live minutes every word of what
we've said will be all over ihis village.
Yes, and all over the State of Connecti
cut. I say, Amasa, this isn't right!"
"Whyf Don't you have any fears.
Suppose they do tell of your millions; it
will give you credit."
"Ah, yes. yes! but they will all be
ufter me for my money." Elisha straight
ened himself up very stillly, nnd but
toned his coat over his chest very firm'.y,
as if to impress on his brother the fact
that he wouldn't let them have a cent
not one cent if they did.
Well, don't say it isn't so, anyway,"
whispered Amasa, and led Elisha to his
room, where that great and good philan
thropist nnd millionaire lay down upon a
sofa and took a comfortable nap.
For a week East Chestervillo was iu a
condition of ferment. The resurrrcction
of Elisha Snow in the form of a million
aire, nfter having departed twenty years
before with u reputation for unconquera
ble laincss, and nn nbility remarka
ble only for imbibing hard cider, was
enough to shake the entire county to its
centre. Then his magnificent bequests

organ, raising tho minister' salary, pro
posing to cstabli-h a Home for Incuiablc
Idiots for poor Elishn found he could

nasium, skating rink, winter bath, all j
combined, for the young people, made :
him at once the idol of the town. !
.Mawley, tho mill-owner met Amasa j
one ilav iu tho street. "See here," he I
1 said,
" I've told Slayton to let up on

Pay up the interest ou that mortgage

tirel of Slayton. He's hounded you,
when you were down, in a mean way.
I'm sick of Slayton. I'll send you a re

iua case I've got against sonic Providence

How 's your brother ? pretty well, I
hope. Those California magnates are all

need the money, but it don't pay to i

" Mr. Mawley, ono moment. You
don't let up on me and send me this law
suit because Elisha is a millionaire, do
you 1 "
"Oh, no, uo, no ! My dear fellow, no,
no! Why, what an idea! By-the-way,
I never favored the breaking off of that
match mv son and Bessie. Good-day."
Ama'a Snow got round behind the
fence, and laughed and shook until tho
entire fence laughed and shook w ith him.
His little scheme was working well. One
needs very little capital in this world if
one can oiily obtuiu its substitute credit.
That week and tho next he had retainers
sent Uiin from several wealthy proprietors
in a neighboring manufa! luring tow n.
They had heard of his brother's millions.
He had the foreclosure suit discontinued,
paid Mawley bis intcio-t, got his mort
gage extended indefinitely. What is
more, his business picked Up so that he
paid a large sum on account all arotlnd
among his creditors. They all said:
Elisha Is doing it for him," He painted
nnd refurbished the old Snow hoipc. He
ran slightly into debt in doing it, but his
girls had some new clothes sent them
from New York. He donned a new suit
of broad-cloth, nnd he was happy. He
was on his feet. Slayton was utterly
nonplussed. In vain the wily pra-titioner
wentaboutspreading doubts as to Elisha's
having any money whatever. "Why don't
he buy that organ? he kept saying, until
people began to wonder why indeed.
As soon us the rumor spread nooutthnt
Elisha waschildless,and that he intended
leaving his money in equal shares to his
six nieces, they went off literally like hot
cakes. Mawley junior, who really loved
the girl, married Bessie, nnd then they
were all married off in batches of two,
until the youngest refused to marry nt all,
saying, with her finger at her lip, "she
preferred to slay with her father."
Jnone year nil this happened. Ama'a
Snow was now a successful man his
debts paid nnd practice increasing. One
day tho rumor reached him w hy had not
Elisha paid for that organ?
Jlc went to Elisha. "Jt is tunc," he
said, "fjryou to disappear."
"I'm very contented hero," protested
Elisha, "reading the newspapers nnd sit
ting in the hotel. It agrees with me. I
don't wnnt to disappear."
lie liked the adulation extended to
him on the ground that he was a million
aire, lie played the easy, well-ted, ru n
plutocrat revisiting his New England
home to perfection. His acting w as con
summate, because it was nature itself,
without a mirror being held up to it. He
had just that amount of narrowness, of
close-tistedness, of sagacious doubt as to
the motives of men w ho approached him
with schemes for investment; he acted
the millionaire to perfection, nnd ho
never overdid it.
"Amasa, I can't go," he said. "They
think I'm such a good man to make
money. They havo actually brought
money to me to make more for them.
Yes, I've received over fifty thou'.md
dollars for investment within the last
month."
"Great Scott!" exclaimed Amasa.
"This is dreadful ! I sec State-prison
yawning before us!"
It s just what the uranu American
Spread-eagle Mine needs." said Elisha I
"veiling himself out "a little money. ",
" ell, take the money and go then-

Amasa was very nngry. He resolved
to bo responsible for his brother no long

one now well married and in hippy, well- 1
to-do homes. "Your uncle and I havo
had a row," he said. "He is going back !

And the organ, the new library, the
gymnasium?
"Well, he is mad about something.
He says the town has slighted him. But
ono thing must be understood, whatever
he does I wash my hands of him for
ever!" Elisha did leave a few (lays after. He
took nway about a hundred thousand

ME GREAT DRAFT RIOTS.
rERMBLE OPPOSITION TO CON
SCRIPTION XX NEW YORK IN 1863.
A. Hrlcf Sketch of tlio Sanguinary
lteslstailed to tlio Draft Hun
drools of People Killed.
The difficulty in enforcing the draft
in New York might have been foreseen,
indeed, it was plainly apprehended, but
it was not thought advisable by the Fed
eral authorities to materially niter the
regulations of conscription in putting tho
law in force in that city. Still, there can
be no doubt that the vastly diHetcnt con
ditions then existing in New York from
those in inland towns of the State, or
even other seaboard cities, formed the
original cause of the trouble. New York
had then a much larger population than
any other city, and a much greater pro
portion of foreigners among her inhab
itants. These, naturally enough, had
no sentiment of patriotism to nid
them in submitting to the harsh
conditions of conscription. Further,
there were, as there always are in every
large city, a great proportion of poor men
whose families live from hand to mouth,
and who never have nny provision made
for future contingencies. To such
families of course the forcible removal of
their bread-winner meant starvation.
To such an extent had apprehensions ol
this fate of their w ives and cluldrcn been
aroused among the laboring men of tho
city especially in those districts largely
inhabited by foreigners, and no doubt
incited by those who opposed the draft
for political reasons that associations
were formed to resist the law by force.
On Suturdny, July 11, 1803, the draft
was begun in the Ninth Congressional
District, a locality largely inhabited by
poor people. It was carried on without
interruption or disturbance, but on Sun
day secret meetings were held nnd the
plans of resistance formed. When the
draft was begun on the following morn-
ing, a mob surrounded the building in
wnicn it was iieia, smasneu in the win
dows, broke down the doors, and, rush
ing in, destroyed, the furniture, and
fintilltr anf tl,n l.iill.linrr flrn A II sf l,i
olliccrs escaped uninjured but one, who 1
was hurt by Hying stones. 1 he success ol
the rioters here added large numbers tc
their ranks and in a few hours a great
rc-ei.forccd by all the roughs ol
tho'city wa, trampling through the
trcc, burninr, Jtoyixm. i.lunderino
streets, burning, destroying, plundering
and murdering wherever resistance wai
offered them. Crowds of women were
i with them, inciting their husbands tc
lawless deeds. At first a detachment ol
marines wero sent against them with
muskets and blnnk cartridges. When it
was known that their firing produced no
effect the crowd set upon them nnd beat

treated in like manner. Tho Colored
Half Orphan Asylum on Fifth avenue
was attacked by nn nnr.y of boys, the
children beaten, the place plundered and
fired. There was no force nt hand tc

police, which did valiant service, though
j they wero not at all nblo to check the
' disorder. On tho second day the rioting
I was even worse than on the first. Gov

city, issued a proclamation in which he
promised the people that the rights of all
would be protected, while he warned the
people that he would use all means in hit

he declared the city in a state of insur

mob. These proclamations, hiwcvcr,
did but littlu good. General Wool, the
head of the department of the East,
called out all veteran volunteers, but
there was so little time for organizing
that, though large numbers responded,
they could not be used effectively. A
small commaud of regular troops from
Fort Lafayette did more effective service.

calling it "pulk," or at best "poolk,'
and end by doing their full share tow Hi d
disposing of those HO.OuO gallons pel
diem. Iu its best estate the sour-smelling
stuff looks like thick buttermilk, and
tastes somewhat nastier, if possible, than
spoiled yeast. Its beauties wero dis
covered ubout tho yeurDUO by Papaiilzin,
a Toltec uoblemun. Tradition says that
this ancient benefactor, having suc
ceeded iu distilling a beverage which
to him seemed tit for the gods, called his
only daughter. Xochitl (the name
signifying "flowers of Tollcn"), and
commissioned her as cup-bearer to the
King. The dusky Hebe was young and
beautiful, and so the Toltec monarch not
only drank and praised the pulque but
straightway fell iu love w ilh the maiden.
He would net permit her to return toiler
