f Potato flour, or the dried pulp of the
potato, is attaining great importance in
the arts. It is stated that in Lanca
shire, England, 20,000 tons of it are sold
annually, and, it brings at present in
Liverpool about double as much in the
market as wheat flour. It is used for
sizing and other manufacturing pur
poses, and when precipitated with acid
is turned into starch. When calcined it
is employed as a dressing for silk.
The son of Sitting Bull was recently
n duced to sit for his photograph at Fort
Buford. Ths young warrior was very
suspicious that the camera was some

consented on condition that he might

the first sign of danger shoot the artist.

The census shows that several Massa

rapid progress in population. During
the past ten year3 Lowell, which in

Lawrence hah advanced in ten years
from 28,921 to 38,500, and Lynn from

an increase of 130,000. The increase in
the cities and manufacturing towns has
not been made at the expense of the

known to be tfrave are given engines on
' express trains; and as soon as, the en

is becoming timid is that he will be
five or ten minutes late, possibly half

and unless his reasons are convincing,
another engineer is given his train to

Sacrilege was singularly punished in

of the danger likely to be run by the
congregation in tasting the noxious

had swallowed several ounces of a dis

An intelligent correspondent of the
Dublin Freeman's Journal prophecies
the garnering of abundant harvests in
Ireland this year from July to Novem

fled by the great event there should be

just made that al gift of $1,000,000 be
taken from the Irish church fund for

heavy rains, following the long drought,
have caused potatoes to grow with
rapidity, the cereals which have ap

are making satisfactory progress, and
the pastures look beautiful; "indeed,
the " whole face of the country smiles
upon ;tne nusbandman." Should tne
weather be normally warm next month,
a hoavy cereal produce' may be looked
for in the districts. What is most
needed in Ireland now. according to
this correspondent, is the development
of dairy industries, and a greater
amount of land given over to the culti

which certainly seemed- to be entitled
to claim at least the credit of originality
were anticipated half a century a'go in
the wilds oi Ohio, where a lot of specu

wood. Why they adopted that plan
does not appear, unless it was supposed
that it woula be cheaper to get an even
surface on piles than to grade a road
bed on the solid ground. Indeed, when
New Yorkers read the estimated cost of
this road tliey will wish that the' pro

some ot their" ideas -into the construc

calculated that they could complete
1,050 miles of double-track road for just
$906,950, or for less than $ 1,000 per mile.
The scheme, according to the Cleveland

from their obscurity, so captivated the
people of Ohio that the company not

would ' cost. The piles were to ibe

PAINTING BLACK EYES.
The Queer Occupation of an jLrtlst In
' New York.
A New York correspondent came
across an advertisement which informed
readers that blackened or bruised eyes
could be made natural instantly by call
ing at the " artist's " residence on the
west side. Calling at the studio, the
correspondent found a large room filled
with paintings and other evidences of
culture.
However, I was not in search of high
art. the correspondent continues. Far
more interesting was the live tableau
in the center of the room that met my
gaze. Imagine seated in a steamer
chair, in an easv. reclining position, a
very fashionably-attired youth (on the
day after the : Fourth), whose pattern
leather boots, white tie, and dress coat
indicated that a lark of the night before
had just been finished the results of the
said lark being visible in a large and ex-
ceedingly dusky horseshoe somebody's
fist had imprinted under one orb.
The artist, a pleasant-faced, stalwart
young was man .busily engaged in mixing
some preparation. Hardly looking up
he waved me to a seat, saying: " I will
attend to your eye in' a moment,
madam !" Glad for this opportunity for
observation, I picked up a newspaper
and watched his operations on the
young swell with interest. First, the
artist poured into a bowl a liberal
amount of a liquid, which, - with
a soft sponge and the air of a mother ad
ministering soothing syrup to her babe,
he applied to the injured cheek. Dur
ing tnis process ne remarKea: "I'm
afraid you have been trying to cure it
with something cold."
" By Jove, how it hurts!" ejaculated
the patient. " Ye3, she put some ice on
it afterward, but it did not seem to do
any good."
"Of course not," said the oracle,
severely; "I don't know why people
will- persist in making such a mistake.
Ice, or oysters, or cold water they will
apply in spite of the fact that anything
coid makes the blood concentrate be
neath the skin and turns it. black.
What they should do is to bathe the
bruise in water as hot as they can stand
it ; that scatters the blood and keeps the
skin from discoloring."
Well," said the exhausted hero of a
fracas, with a feeble attempt to be
witty, "when a fellow gets into hot
water he don't think of pouring it on."
By this time the live canvas was ready
for coloring, and, with a tiny bnish and
delicate strokes, the artist proceeded to
lay on the flesh tints. For nearly half
an hour he worked steadily, pausing
frequently to add another ' shade, then
toning the edges down, then allowing
the paint to dry, and then softly rubbing
on a fine powder that removed the
gloss. Then he stepped back and viewed
his handiwork with the air of a stern
critic, finally holding a small mirror be
fore the youth, who expressed my
thoughts when he exclaimed in admir
ing accents: "By George, judging from
the looks, I couldn't, tell which eye was
blacKedi" Tnen, witn as mucn ot a
smile as he had energy for, he added
How much is it, old boy?"
' ' Five dollars," was the answer.
"It's worth that to keep me out of a
row with the governor, but deuce take
it, I haven't a fiver jeftj ,but take this
until I call for iti" and he thrust upon
the artist a handsome pearl scarf pin.
"Now, what can I do for you, ma'am P'
queried he of the brush, after a disap
pointed look upon my unblackened
cOuntenance. Whereupon I explained
my mission, and tne artist, not averse to
the idea of being written up, assented to
my staying awhile to take notes.
Scarcely had he spoken when a little
lady entered. She was modestly dressed
in black, and had a rather pretty face,
though terribly disfigured by a deep
semicircle ot black and blue under one
of her eyes J She seemed a little embar
rassed, and was profuse in her explana
tions of how she came by it.
"Indeed," she said, " I never had such
a thing happen to me before in my life,
but you see I was. going down stairs
with a tray full of dishes, and my foo
caught in the matting and tripped, and
I fell all the way down. Such a thing
never happened to me betore, and l
Wonder I did not break every bone in
my body. Such a shame it should have
come on my eye. I never had a black
one before, and it is so mortifying."
Again the artist plied his art, taking
great pains to match the color of her
complexion, and persevering until the
ugly-looking mark was rendered invisi
ble, adding as he concluded : " You can
wash your face in cold water, but' don't
use hot or soap, because it will bring
the paint off. With a little care it will
last until the eye is cured." The lady,
after careful examination, expressed
herself satisfied, and inquired the cost.
" Two dollars," said the artist, consid
erately. after a glance at her modest
toilet.
"Two dollars V fairly screamed- the
lady. " Two dollars for such a pesky
little job as that. I never heard of such
an imposition. Why, young man, in all
my life I never paid more than fifty
cents before." ; .
. This assertion, coming after her pro
fuse explanations, had a very comical
effect, which she was quick to perceiv e
and, without further jjarley she put
down the mcney and departed. When
the door closed on her ycjir correspond-.
ent inquired if the artist had many lady
callers.
"They are not uncommon, and they
come as this one did; with profuse apol
ogies and explanations, thinking, poor
things, that their stories about tumbling
downstairs and I runniug up against
doors will be swallowed by me, as if I
didn't know that the brutes who beat
their wives are not confined to the

lady that did own up. She was a bride,
onlv been! married three weeks, and
lived on Madison avenue. One day her
husband got into a rage and' threw his;
boot at her. It struck her on the fore
head, leaving a terrible mark ; but after
the shock was over all. the poor thing
thought of ; was to keep it from her par
ents, for she had married against their
wishes." I
" What other disfigurements are you
called on to conceal P" "
" Moles and birthmarks. You see a
lady may have a very beautiful, white
neck, or snowy, well-molded armsj but
be unable to wear a party dres3 on ac
count of one or more of these blemishes.
I have ; regular customers, who, when
ever they goto a ball, send for me to
paint over these marks. And it is
singular the shapes they are in. There
is one belle' in this city who has on her
right arm a regular cross and crown,
bright red jn color, and large enougn to
be seen across the room. Another
young lady, who has the shoulders of a
model, has itupon one the initials C. L,
in red spots about the size of currants.
Still another lady has on her forearm a
perfect miniature ladder, though, of
course, theimajority of these marks as
sume no distinct form."
" You must sometimes have ladies
who have really suffered from an acci
dent?"' I
" Oh, yes. There was one young lady
here last week who3e face was covered
with crimson spots big as silver quar
ters. She was engaged to be married
and to please her betrothed had taken a
course of lessons in cooking from Miss
Corson. The day before the wedding
she invited him to a little supper of her
own preparing, intending to give him a
pleasant premonition of bliss to come,
in the shape of good housekeeping.
Her chef d'ouvre was a dish of soft-shell
crabs, and,f alas, as she was in the act
of frying them, the hot grease sputtered
up and burnt her face badly in half a
dozen places. It was too late to defer
the wedding, and accordingly she had
to have her face done entirely over for
the ceremony, but it turned out such an
improvement on her natural complexion
that I do not think she minded it
much."
Before leaving I asked from what class
of men he dre w the largest number of
blackened-eye customers.
"From sporting men and the wealthy
business men. The latter class, of
course, Would be injured by being seen

be painted over, and told me if I would
refuse to fix the other man's eye he
would pay me three times what it was
worth. This I promised not to do, and
in consequence the worst punished of

he had come out ahead, as no one could

A Chinese Romance.
People complain a good deal of the
sensational character of modern English
novels. (But the wildest plots in these
do not equal the e very-day occurrences
of Chinese domestic life. We know, for
instance, that young ladies who are
crossed in love do sometimes die? of a
broken heart. But we don't exactly
find intheJx)ndon OazeUe-r-which is the
same sort of a papei us the Pekin Oar
zette the sort of notice which follows :
"January 31st. His majesty the em
peror directs the proper board to bestow
the usual mark of imperial favor on the
daughter of a man in Pekin named Ho
En Tsao, who, hearing of the death of
her betrothed, vowed eternal celibacy,
took poison and died." I do not know
if that sort of loyalty to one's love is
quite commendable; but the Chinese
think differently. f
By the wav, certain writers on China
deny that the Chinese ever feel the sen
timent of love as we define it. However
that may be, there are Chinese exam
ples of faithfulness which are not often
paralleled amongst ourselves. I avail
myself of Mr. Balfour's authority. Some
years ago, at Putung, a girl of good fam-
by was betrothed to a youth Of the
name of Chao, who unfortunately died
shortly before the day appointed for the
espousals. The bereaved bride was in
consolable, and entreated her parents to
allow her to visit the coffin of her lost
love. This request was refused on
grounds of propriety; but the girl,
breaking all bonds, ran away to the
house of mourning, and throwing her
self on the floor beside the corpse,
howled in the most determined manner.
All attempts to pacify her were useless ;
and she insisted, moreover, on taking
up her abode with that of the dead lad's
parents from that time forward, and de
voting herself to them until their death,
This was very heroic, of course, but it
seems that tlie old people would rather
have been without her. 'However, she
would take no denial, and absolutely
did stay and earn enough to pay for her
own keep, and to contribute toward the
other expenses, for about five years
Then the old couple died ; and this vir
tuous maiden, having honored them
then with burial, prepared for her own
doom.
About this time political mat:ers
were in a very unsettled state, and it
was rumored in the neighborhood that
the T'ai-p'ing rebels were approaching
fast. The excesses of the insurgents
were of course well known and dreaded,
and the girl was fully aware that if they
reached the place while she was alive,
her unprotected situation would expose
her to the loss of liberty and everything,
else that she possessed. She accordingly
dressed herself in all her richest clothes,
as though for a festivity ; and then so
goes the story took a needle, threaded
it with silk, and sewed her garments se
curely on to her own flesh. ; This done,
she drank poison anddied. The very
next day the rebels came ; discovering
this lovely corpse, and seeing at a glance
the proof of the girl's purity and honor,
they treated her with the profoundest
e verence. So far, indeed, from robbing
her of a single "jewel, they gave her
honorable interment.--- Temple Bar.
