Jn a little Jtaliau village their ouce lived a jolly stouecutter named JL'isauo. lie was puor, of course, 01 Le would uot have been a stooecut cutter; but he was lull of good hu mor and everybody liked hiuj. There was one little boy especial ly who lovud him aud whom Pisano loved more thau any one else in the worhl. This was Antouio Canova, Pisauo's graudsou, who had conic to live with hiui because his father was dead, aud his mother had married a harsh uiau who was uu kind to little Autouio. Antouio wao a frail little fellow, and his and his grandfather liked to have him near him during his worki ing hours. While Pisano worked at stone cutting little Antonio played at it, and amused himself making clay figures, drawing aud cuttiug iuto shape the sinall pieces of rock which lay about the yard. The eld grandfather soon saw that the paled faced little fellow was wons' derfully bkillfdl at such things. As the boy grew older ho began, to help in the shop during the day while in the evening his grand mother told him stories or suug to him. All these things were of great value to him, for, without his knowing it, they were improviug his taste aud awakeuing his imagi nation. it so happened that Signor FaU iero, a man of great wealth and rare understanding m matters of art, had a palace near Pisano's house, and at certaiu times enter tained many distinguished guests II here- When the palace was very lull of visitors old Pisano was some lines hired to help the servants with their tasks, and Antonio did work for a day or two when some great feast was given. At one time wheu Siguor Falieio was to eutertain a very large com pany at dinner young Antouo was at wor amoug the pots and pans in the ki;cheu. The head servant came iujust before the dinner hour ia great trouble. The man who had been at work upon the large ornament for thy table seut word he had spoMed the piece. What was to be done? The poor fellow whose business it was to put the table in order was at his wits end. While every one was wonderiug what would be best to do, the little boy came forward and said: "If you will let me try, I think I can make something that will do.'7 "You!' ciied the servant, and who are you?" "I am Autouia Canova, the grand sou of Pisano," auswered the pa'e faced little fellow. 'And pray what can you do!" "I can make something that will said do for the middle of the table," the boy, "if you will let me try." The servant, not kuowing what else to do,- told Autouio that he might try. Calling for a large quantity of butter, the boy quickly moulded a gieat crouching lion which every body in the kitchen said was beautiful, and which the now rejoicing head servant placed carefully upon the table. . At the dinner that day there were many of the most noted meu ot Venice merchants, princes, no bleman and lovers of arts and a mong them were many skilled crit ics of ar t work. Wue.n these peo pie came to the table their eyes fell apon the butter liou, and they for got tho purpose tor which they entered tho dining room. They saw their something ot higher worth in their eyes thau any dinner could be namely, work ot a gem us. They looked at the lion long aud carefully ami then began praising it and asked Faliero what great sculptor he had pursuaded to waste his r-k ill upon a work in butter, that must quick I3 melt away. But fSiguor Faliero knew as little, as they aud he had in hia turn to ask tho chief servant. When the com pany learned that tht lion was tho work of a boy, Faliero called the boy into the dining room, aud the dinner became a soit of leant in his houor. J But it was not enough to praiie jthe lad. There were men who (kuew that sneh genius as his be longed to the world, not to the vil- Uge aud nothing could please them more thau to aid in giving him an 'educatiou. Signor Faliero himself jdeclmed himself that he would pay the lad's expenses and place him under the instructions of the best masters. I The boy whose highest wish had (beeu to become a stonecutter, aud whose home had beeu iu his old grandfathers cottage became at once a member of Signor Faliero s family, living iu his palace having at his command everything that money could bay, and being daily instructed by the best masters iu Venice. But he was not iu the least spoiled spoiled by this change iu his life. He was still the same simple, earnest aud faithful boy. He worked as hard to gain knowl edge and skill iu art as he had meant to work to become a good stonecutter. Antonio Canova's course from the day on which he moulded butter iuto a lion was steadily upward, aud when be died he was not only one of the greatest sculptors of his own time, but one of the greatest of all time. Harx pers fourth Header. A Substitute for Cotton. Columbia S. C, Dispatch 11. Dr. C. F, Pauknin, a well known chemist of Charleston, is perfecting an invention tor utilizing the bait of the laojee plant as a complet substitute for cotton, aud a grta' revolution in the cotton industry is thus promised, Dr. Pankuiu h,as placed on exhibition here a large roll of ramee which has been pre pared aud treate J by his process- By looking at the rdl it is easj to couclude th-t the method is per fect. The product is devoid of gum and ot particles of the bark. Each filament is distinct and as glossy and transparent as a strand of silk. The roll has been bleached, but uot carded or combed. When this last process has been applied which auy one can do with his fin gers it will appear even more ad vantageously. , Dr. Pankniu says that he is now perfecting a machine by which he can produce the stuff on a commer cial scale. With the machine he now uses he has prepared a quantity of the article similar to that 00 exhi bition. The stalks of ramee are first split longitudanally in half, or as nearly that proportion as possi ble. These slips are then passed through an apparatus similar to that of a Hating machine, which breaks the weed into small pieces that are easily detached from the bark, which is left in long ribbons The seoret lies in extracting the gum absolutely from this ribbon, removing at the same time all the finer particles of bark. This done the decortication is complete. '- It is learned that the cost of preparation by the chemical process will not exceed that for the prepar ation lor market of equivalent a mounts of long cotton. Dr. Pankniu is now in communis cation with busiuess men in New York who are iuterrested in the discovery. Indignation JI deling in Mon- The following we clip from the Charlotte Democrat of a recent date: A meeting was held at the Couri Ilonse in Monroe last Tuesday for the purpose of expressing the. feel ing of tho citizens of Union county, at the lynching of Frank Stack, at Morgaoton, Tuesday, Sept. 10, 18S9. On motion of D. A. Covington, Mr. V. T. Chcars was called to t he chair, and J. D. A. Secrest was appointed secretary. The chairman explained the object ot tho meeting, after which Mr. Covington addressod the assembly in a few timely re marks, in condemnation of the mob which hung Stack.' At the conclu sion of Mr. Covington's lemaiks the chairman read the following resolutions, which were adopted by a rising vote. Whereas, on the 'Jth day of Aug. 1889, Robert Parker, a former citi zen of this couuty, who was then attending school at Rutherford College, N. C. was shot from ams bush and foully murdered by au unknown person ; and Whereas, Frankliu Stack was suspected, ou the part of certain persons, of being the slayer of Mr; Patker, for the reason that the lat ter had killed a brother of the for mer some ten years ago ; and Whereas, by reason of this sus picion, Mr. Stack, who was a worthy iran and a highly respected and honored citizen of this county, was arrested at his house, whilst iu the quiet pursuit of his labors (where he, having previously heard that he was suspected, had told the Shei ill he could be found, if wan ted), and carried to the couuty of Burke under a warraut issued by a Supreme Court Judge. Mr. Stack cheerfully submitting by reason of the implied promise made to the proceeding, under which he was ar rested, that th'i law, having taken iiin in its toils, would insure him a fair aud impartial trial, upou which, the accused averred to the end, that he couid have fully establisheu his innocence; and Whereas, on the morniug of the 11th of September, 1880, while Mr. cStaek was confined in the county jail of Burke, where the law had placed him to await the trial which is guaranteed to every citizeu and which had beeu expressly promised him when he was arrested upon the v;rraru of S ipieme Court Judge; aud whiU the ieu nptiou of law a to his innocence was strength ened by his solemn and repe-Ued averments that he was innocent and could prove it. Mr. Stack was for cibly taken from jail by a mob of midnight assassins, who, while trambliug the law under foot tbm. selves aud beut upou committing the crime of which he was accused and which he bitterly denied as loug as he was granted utterance, denied him the right ot a confessed felou and summarily executed him, in the face of his dying declarations that be was innocent : Now, therefore, we, the people of Union county, in meeting assem bled, after full notice of the time and place published, de resolve : 1st. That while we deplore tbe presence of crime iu the land, aud would not for a moment com mend or couutenance tbe course of the man whoever he may be, who so foully r murdered Mr. Parker ou tbe 9rh day of August, 1889, at Rutherford College, yet, we view with alarm the iucrease of mob vio lence and recoguize the necessity of steps being inaugurated to correct this great evil. 2d. That while there may be in stances in which the protection of female virtue would palliate, if uot excuse, summary vengeance on the bead of him who forcibly assails it, we are of opinion that the law, as administered by Judge Lyncb, is rarely, if ever, justifi!, and the only safety of the people rests in the great citadel of our defense, the Palladium of our liberty the Con stitution and law of the land which gaarautees to every person, rich or poor, great or small, bond or free alike, a fair and impartial trial. 3d. That the lynching of Mr; Stack, au honest, hardworking, peaceable citizen of our county, who vas torn from the bosom of his family and earned amonjj strangers, who, by iuvoking the aid, promised him the protection of the Uw ; and who was known by manv of ns per sonally and reputed to us all, io be 1 man whose life and character was without spot or blemish; an affec tionate son to an aged and depen dent morher, a devoted supporter of two nieces, who have been his consideration and care for the past ten years, since his brother and their father, was killed ou public h'ghway, a kind friend and accom modating neighbor, whose warm heart, generous nature, aud noble impulses belied the charges pre ferred against him and strength ened his own protestations of inno cence, is a fresh and forcible illns tiation of the mistakes that the mad populace so often make and of the danger attending its administration of justice. 1th. That we find ourselves in capable of commanding language expressive of our abhorrence and contempt for the meu engaged in the tragedy at Morganton and for the crime which their cowardly and penurious souls committed under the cover of the darkness, when they took the life of an honorable man, against whom their proof was but a suspicion, and who were actu ated, not by motive of avenging the death of Parker, but to save the ex pense of a trial to Stack ; we de nounce the act, we denounce the men engaged iu it aud declare them to be cowards, for they dare not confess their deed ; murderers, for : they took the life of a man who had a right to their protection ; and perjurers, lor they outraged the law they had all sworn to support. The deed of Mr. Stack, even if he were guilty, would -not have been so damnable as that of tbese men. oth. That we recoguize and ap predate, the course of the Charlotte Chronicle in the move and we call upon the press of Horth Carolina, which has been such a power for good iu our midst, and upon which the people must largely depend for relief from mob violence, but which, with great respect, we are obliged to say has been not only remiss in this matter, but largely responsible therefor, in that it has not in the past placed the seal of its disap-. proval and condemnation npon it in mote certain terms, to join us iu in effort to do justice to the nieui ry of one who has been so foully lealt with and to inaugurate a movemeut wlrch shall umk every citizen feel that in truth and iu fat, he has the protection of tbe law of tho land. 6th. That we call upou the good people of Burke County, many of whom we know to be good citizens, and the great masses of whom de plore tbe tragedy euacted on tbe night of the 10th instant, and upon whom we aie obliged to rely, to hunt up the perpetrators of this crime aud bring the guilty parties to justice. 7th. That we call upon His Ex cellency, D-iniel G. Fowl, the Gov ernor of the wbo'e people, to do ali in his power to discover tbe par tie?, who have so grossly outraged the law, who have inflicted such sum mary injustice upon one of our helpless citizens and make them answer for the crime which they have commitled, at the shrine of the law which they have insulted aud violated. Oq motion of Mr. Covingtou a resolution was passed, requesting that a copy of these resolutions be sent to all tbe State papers with a request to publish. On motion of Mr. Charles Bruoer it was resolved that a copy of these resolutions be forwarded to Gov ernor Fowle.

There has been discovered in tbe forests of India a strange plant, which possesses to a very high de gree astonishing maguetic power. The hacd which breaks a leaf from it receives immediately a shock e qual to that which is produced by the conductor of au induction coil. At a distauce of six meters a mag netic needle is affected by it aud it will be quite deranged if brought near. The energy of this singular influence varies with the hours of the day.

It wart not very lonvf aeo that a Main man fired li s nhotgnu into a caliU.uinU.m crowd that serena ded hi in, with disastrous resntls. An Oxford county deacon who was annoyed iu a similar way hit upou a vastly better method of routing ttie invaders ol his peao. He lost his first wife, with whom he had lived titty years, aud in time took another bride ro solace his declinn ing .days. Such a proceeding, though warranted both by Holy Writ and human precedent, caused considerable talk in the neighbor hood on account of the deacon's ad vanced age, and some of the young people proposed to give the couple an old fashioued serenade. 80 they gathered a largo aud noisy crowd together, equipped themselves with a circular saw, a chime of cow bells and a baud of horns, and set up a frightful din iu front of the deacon's house several hours after the old gentleman and his bride had re tired. The first alarm brought the deacon to the door. Tb spectators expected a storm of righteous wrath to burst upon their heads and were prepared to meet it with a tempest of saw, horn and oowbell. Gentlemeu," said a mild voice, 'won't you come in?" A hush fell upon iImi crowd and they stared iu sileut wonder at each other. That couldu't be the deacon. They drew nearer and took a better look at the figure stauding in the door-way. Yes, they could piaiuly see by tbe candle which be held that it was the deacou. "Wife and I would be pleased to have you come in,'' he said again. Disconcerted, but unable to resist the invitation, they filed into the house. The deacon and his wife provided chairs, aud they all sat down. Then the good old man took the family Bible from the shelf and read a pas sage of Sciipture iu a clear voice. Having finished tbe chapter be closed tbe good book, knelt down, and said fervently, "Let us pray." The company listened respectful ly to a long prayer, iu which the deacon asked for a special manifes tation of heavenly grace to the mis ude t iutii d' t ne c:iii!i u i y.
