BOTSFOBD, st-Louia, Ma ITTIE neatest swindling trick ever perpetrated by an alchemist was played off, about the middle of the sixteenth century, qpon Duke Cosmo I. of Flor­ ence, by one Daniel, of Hermannstadt, in Transylvania, who was descended from an old patrician family of Nura- berg. Hermannstadt, the actual mili­ tary capital of Transylvania, was originally founded in 1140 by one Her­ mann, of Nurnberg, who lea a German colony there. Daniel1 s first Tr an syl­ van i an ancestor had been one of the leaders of that colony. Daniel was a wealthy man, an eminent physician, *6nd a distinguished adept in alchemy. It would appear that a favorite niece of his was deeply in love with Rufo Szechenyi, a young Magyar cavalier, who had joined the anti-Medician fac­ tion of the Strpzzi, the Paz®, the Sal- viati, the Ridalii aad other Florentine families. The young man had fallen into the hands of Cosmo, the most un­ scrupulous and cruel tyrant of the mur­ derous house of Medici, with whom the slaying of their kinsfolk was simply a family tradition. Deaf to all entreat­ ies, the ducal trader insisted upon a ransom of 20,000 ducats, keeping the unhappy young Magyar meanwhile Confined in the Bargelfo of Florence in carcere duro. When the sorrow-strick­ en bride of the prisoner made an ap­ peal to her wealthy uncle to assist the Szechenyi family in raising this enor­ mous sum, the old doctor pondered long and deeply. He was a wise man. He distrusted the wily ruler of Flor­ ence, fearing lest tfee-huge ransom once {)aid, wholly or in part, the unscrupu-ous Cosmo might devise some scheme of creeping out of his share of the pact. At last an idea seemed to strike him. "Patienoe, my dear ^ece," he said, with a grim smile, ** and fear not; 1 promise you to set your lover free, and to make his captor and jailer bestow a handsome dower upon you in the bar­ gain.1' With this somewhat bold prom ise the poor young woman had to rest content. To all her eager questions as to the how and when, tne old man re plied, simply, "Patience, my dear; trust me, and you will not be disap­ pointed.11 He set cheerfully to work. He first amalgamated the sum of 4,000 golden ducats with the requisite quantity of quicksilver; he then melted about thirty pounds of wax and colophony over a slow lire, and added to the melted mass 'coal dust sufficient to give the whole a deep black tinge. This he mixed with the auio-mercurial amalgam. When the mixture was eold he reduced it to powder. The whole process was ex­ tremely simple. Master Daniel had now a black powder of no apparent value, yet which contained the gold of about 2,000 sovereigns. This powder he packed carefully in a great number of card-board cases, put the whole on the back of his sumpter mule, and set out on his travels to Italy. Here he wan­ dered through the north as a traveling physician. Experienced and skillful and crafty withal, he soon gained a high reputatiou for marvelous cures easy enough to accomplish, as he gen­ erally managed somehow to give a des­ perate aspect to the ailments of his pa­ tients by, in the first place, administer ing to them cunningly and deftly, and without exciting suspicion, some nox ious substance, producing alarming ^symptoms, which he found it, of course, easy to remove by his prescrip' tions. Among the ingredients of the latter figured invariably a certain pow­ der, ingeniously christened by him usufur. No apothecary in the north of Italy had ever heard of this powder, ) which accordingly could not be sup­ plied. The great wonder-doctor ex­ pressed astonishment at this, but con­ sented to add the article from his own store. Having thus achieved a reputation and created a demand-for usufur, he disappeared from the scene for a time; but he soon returned in the disguise of a Ger nan drug peddler, who, strange to say, sold the powder usufur for next to nothing. Then the doctor came again on the scene, and managed to get J- nek his ostly ,So he ved for aboitt tl^o "yrrwhen, fac p^<*r>cd~ 9 $ t n ' ' . d M r f W r t r i j j j f h ^ • p f '3 sii v'tgffie dniggk'ts of#!or-eace» He then dropped the doctor arid put on the adept instead. As Cosmo haa long been in search of the great secret, Daniel found it easy to gain access to him, and to impress the Duke with a belief in his profound alchemistic knowledge. He produced a small quan­ tity of gold in presence of the Duke, al­ lowing his Highness to procure and supply all the ingredients, among which figured also the powder usufur, easily obtainable then for a few pence. The ingredients altogether came to about a ducat, to produce solid gold to the value of fifty ducats. A cabalistic formula, which the adept pretended must not be uttered aloud, but be re­ cited in mind by the operator, was de­ clared indispensable to the success of the transmutation process. Of this he gave the duke a convincing proof. He and the ruler of Florence operated with equal halves of the same ingredients, only that by a clever sleight of hand the .usufur in the Duke's half was replaced by common coal dust. So Daniel pro­ duced his gold in the usual way, while the Duke utterly failed. Cosmo, thor­ oughly convinced now of the genuine­ ness of the affair, subscribed willingly to Daniel's conditions. He set young Rufo free, and promised to pay Daniel the sum of thirty thousand ducats in money untainted by a magic origin, which the adept avowed was intended to buildr a church in redemption of his souL 1 The first condition being fulfilled, and young Rufo out of the Duke's clutches, Daniel taught the Duke the potent formula; and, behold! the next experiment--made by the Duke, alone and unaided, and upon a large mass of matter, as per the wondrous adept's recipe--succeeded most fully, yielding something like a clear profit of 3,000 ducats upon an outlay of less than sixty ducats. The Duke, overjoyed, and dreading perhaps the devil's vengeance if be played the adept false, for once in his life kept his word. Daniel got his 30,000 ducats, and was sent to France in a ducal sedan-chair, escorted by two companies of the Duke's own body­ guard. As soon as the adept found himself all sale, he had the matchless effronteiy to send Cosmo a detailed ac­ count of the swindle. He gave the 30,000 ducats as dower to his beloved niece, and the descendants of Rufo Szechenyi rank to the present day among the most distinguished mag­ nates of Hungary.--Harper's Weekly. USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE. A Man With Glass E Bremen avenue, a few doors west of Tenth street, there lives an ec­ centric old gentleman named Arthur C. Blackman, who is now in the fifty- fifth year of his age, and who, although totally blind for the past thirty-one years, insists on wearing two glass eyes. He lost his sight when about twenty-four years old while suffering from typhoid fever. He was then quite a handsome young man and some­ what vain of his personal attractions and the admiration of a large circle of friends. The loss of his sight weighed heavily upon him. He was conscious of their sightless stare and ghastly whiteness, and if he were not, the sym­ pathy and pity of those around him would soon have informed hira of their condition. In order to hide his infirm­ ity as far as possible, he conceived the idea of substituting glass eyes for those from which the light had gone out for­ ever, and this henad done within a few months after his recovery. He has lived in St. Louis since 1867, having removed herein that year from Indian­ apolis, where he owns a little proper­ ty, from which he receives a moderate living income. He is stopping with a sister-in-law, Mrs. Harding, on Bremen avenue, and very few of the people in the neighborhood knew anything of his infirmity. He was pointed out to an Evening Post reporter the other even­ ing in Hyde Park as " the man with two glass eyes," When he was sitting on one of the benches with a little child beside him, and from him were learned the above few facts concerning his pe­ culiar condition. He is well-informed, and apparently as thoroughly up in the news of the day as i? he haa the sight of both his eyes and took half a dozen daily papers. He walks with a firm treaa, alongside of his child and companion, who genly guides him, and in no way betrays his infirmity to the casual observer.--St. Louis Post. The Newest Jewelry. FOR bracelets the most recherche are the solitaire jewels set in a narrow band of gold, and of these sevteral are worn upon the arm as rings upon the fingers. Thus a sapphire, ruby and diamond are often worn upon one wrist, and perhaps a pink, white and black pearl upon the other. Or if a single wide bracelet is worn, it may be in tne form of a serpentine coil, per­ haps six to eight strands, graded in size and fitted with springs so as to clasp the arm and retain its place wherever it may be put. For pendants, the most novel and curious are set with fancy-colored pearls, .. black, pink,' bronze, yellow, salmon and gray, to­ gether with those possessing the beau­ tiful iridescent "orient" so highly prized; or, again, with fancy-colored diamonds--for there are diamonds of all colors, and they are now eagerly sought for. For ear-rings, solitaire diamonds continue to lead, though some tasteffil devices that go well with the new collarettes and diamond flow­ ers are formed of a little blossom of diamond paned leaves from which the solitaire is pendant Solitaire pearls are in high favor, and all the rarer col­ ored stones are also worn in the ears. A new departure is to wear different jewels in the ears, as a sapphire in one and a ruby in the other, or a ruby and a diamond, as to have the two alike but a repetition, and not so effective. For rings, the solitaire diamond is still favorable for an engagement token, but sapphires, rubies and pearls are be­ ing used more and more frequently. There is a variety of new settings for rings. One very pretty style is formed with a diamond of fair size, and a sap­ phire, ruby or emerald equally large, set close to each other, the band or • ,ehsnk beTng set ^*?th fn,\r He •!!*, or other .svl-olly „•fon-r-'X? >of • ffm'fia d fnjtic) n • ^h|p;h •Cr>.rnp^tely • cov­ er.. fhfc; Ting. <>ue%iyie (>f ivA£5£oiie hoop ring, composed of two rows of five stones each, is arranged as fol­ lows: White diamond, emerald, yellow diamond, ruby and white diamond in one hoop; ruby, white diamond, sap­ phire, brown diamond and emerald in the other. The effect of this combina­ tion is highly novel and pleasing.-- Buffalo Express. A Universal Language. JUST now Paris is engaged with another* learned theme--and I forget how many this makes to add to the dozens commenced, finished and unfin­ ished, since the first of May. This last theme, or rather present, for no one knows when the last theme is to come, is on the advantages ^of adopting a language that shall be one and univer­ sal. Some discomfort would be saved did such a boon exist. We should never realize the chagrin that Charles Lever describes in one of his characters by whose French he was discovered to be English and by whose English he was discovered to be Irish. We should be relieved of that doctor's Latin which is as puzzling as a cook's French 01* a curate's Hebrew, and a Yankee editor's English. When we learn the number of languages in the Old and New World comprise over 3,000, this oneness of French savans is very desirable. We have 687 languages in Europe, 987 in Asia and 1,264 in America, according to these polyglot reformers. In the clearest and most logical of these there is much that is obscure and illogical. It is now proposed that all Nations study and master one and the same language, apt necessarily to the rejec­ tion of mfjglexisting ones, but, studied by all, tl&ar7anguage will be a medium of thought between all. It is not to be a language for literature, but for con­ versation. The basis is to be in the recognized sounds of music known al­ ready to all.--London Cor. Baltimore Sun.

SCRAP-BOOK PASTE.--I dissolve a piece of alum the size of a walnut in a piiit o£ boiling water; to this i add a couple of tablespoonfuls of flour, made smooth in a little cold water, and a few drops of.oil of cloves, letting the whole come to a \joil. This paste will keep months. I put it in glass iars used for canning, or wel1-cleaned blacking- bottles. I use a half-inch bristle brush, which costs but a few pennies. This paste is handy, too, for domestic pur­ poses. My children have many toys that come in wooden boxes, but these will break at the corners, and soon come to pieces; When a box begins to give out, I take a piece of cambric or calico, and with the brush and paste cover the box so that it will bear con­ stant usage for months. Then, if the cover gives out, I pull it off and put on another one. Again, a doll's arm, or leg comes off; but a piece of muslin and a bit of paste restores the article, so that it is as good as it was before.--Cor. N. Y. Evening Post. THE VIRTUES OF OATMEAL.--In Great Britain children of all ranks are raised on oatmeal diet alone, becauses it causes them to grow strong and beautiful, and no better food can possibly be found for them. It is also quite as desirable for the student as for the laborer, and for the delicate lady and her hard-working sister; indeed alLclasses would be great­ ly benefited by its use, and dyspepsia, with all its manifold annoyances, can be kept at a distance. Oatmeal is more substantial food, it is said, than veal, "pork or lamb, giving as much or more mental vigor, while its great desidera­ tum consists in one's not becoming weary of it, for it is as welcome for breakfast or tea as is wheat or graham bread. It can be eaten with sirup and butter as hasty pudding, or with cream and sugar, like rice. It is especially good for young mothers, upon whose nervous forces too great a demand has been made, and they lose the equilib­ rium of the system and become de­ pressed and dispirited. Oatmeal re quires to be cooked slowly, and the water should be boiling hot when it is stirred in. Economy of Fall Flowing. FARMERS desirous of practicing econ omy and gaining from their acres, be they rich or poor, the largest possible yields with the least expenditure of time and money, will see to it that plowing, if not begun before, goes for­ ward this month on lands designed for winter grains, fall seedings and for corn next spring. Intelligent cultivators no longer question the fact that fall plowing is of the utmost service to the soil. Many count it equal to a dressing of manure, inasmuch as it places the ground in condition to absorb all fertilizing prop­ erties contained in rain. Disintegra­ tion is the secret of its beneficial effects. Its action is both mechanical and chemical. Land, when broken up by the plow, holds a great percentage of water. It freezes when in • this wet state, then it thaws, and the disinte­ gration is complete. All moisture re­ ceived on the surface filters through the pulverized earth evenly, and in consequence the manurial properties in the water reach every particle of soil and are retained. The fertilization of land by pulveri­ zation is but a small tithe, however, of the benefits resulting from early fall plowing; the story is only half told. Cockle-burs, ox-eye daisy, fox-tail and other noxious weeds too freqdently in­ festing farms, turned under with the stiihble of the grain fields before their >v: xrct are • ^••••.-fy-•'••tf tout -are- .f-Iv'vlbg tWUSid" (lief i-'i'cvioualy .-bur­ dened. Another advantage arising from fall plowing and, an incalculable one, is the exposure of pestilent insects that every season invade broad fields and accom- Elish ruinous havoc to their crops, roods of cut-worms may be prevented from foraging on corn and cotton fields in tne prospective by throwing them out of their comfortable hiding- place this fall. Every progressive farmer under­ stands from a profitable experience the good effects of the frosts of winter up­ on freshly broken earth. It is only to beginners and the still numerous army of cultivators who refuse to take time by the forelock that arguments in its favor of mellow and ameliorated soils, freedom from noxious weeds and thou- blesome insects, need be urged. While it does not pay to put any crop in ground insufficiently prepared, es­ pecially should lands that are to be seeded down to grass be cultivated well. When land cannot b«» broken up in the early fail, it is advisable to ac­ complish this as soon after as practic­ able, that the ground thus broken may derive benefit from as many frosts as possible.--N. Y. World. and through all stages of the growth of j the plant until its perfect fruition into j ripened product. The processes that go on during this ' time are truly wonderful, and the chemical changes that take place under the operations of Nature are full of in­ terest, as well as value, especially to the farmer. These changes are pro­ duced by the action of laws operating on the plant both below and above the surface of the soil. A while ago it was thought that to produce plants abundantly it was nec­ essary that the soil should contain a large quantity of organic matter; but it has been found that some soils are very fertile which contain a small per cent, of organic matter, while others which possess as high as 30 or 40 per cent, are not fertile; consequently that idea has been discarded. The richest soils, if lacking in a single essential in organic element, and badly managed, produce poor crops, while a poor soil often gives a good crop in the hands of an intelligent, prudent and skillful farm­ er. This and other controversies in which learned writers and experiment­ ers during an extended period are set­ tled, and we know now that the soil to produce good crops must contain both mineral and nitrogenous elements in suitable proportions. We have learned that a plant requires all the organic elements--oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen--and tnat beside these there are a number of inorganic ele­ ments that enter into the structure of every plant, among the most essential of which are lime, potash and phospho­ ric acid. In a particular species of plants, these elements always exist in the same proportion; the same elements which are found to-day in a stalk of corn have always been found in pre­ cisely the same proportions, and always will be found there to the end of time. The development of the plant may vary with circumstances, but the rela­ tive quantity of its constituents is al­ ways the same. To supplv to plants the food required for their life and health, and to pro­ duce the best returns, is what is re­ quired of the soil. To enable it to do this, we must use it properly--supply it with the matters required, in order that it may honor the drafts made up­ on it. We keep it in good heart, and by judicious management, instead of allowing it to deteriorate, constantly increase its fertility.--Western Rural. ft? DITSON &, CO/S Musical Record.

AT FIRST view it may appear a very simple question to inquire what the soil does or what to the farmer its of­ fice is in the economy of Nature; but when wjgL look a little farther and begin to notictrthe result of the different con­ ditions in which it is found, and of va­ rious methods of treatment, the subject widens, and its importance begins to be comprehended. In the first place, the soil is a plant food-holder. It receives and holds the food washed out of the atmosphere by rains, and what it absorbs from contact with fer­ tilizing matters applied in any man­ ner, and also from what is dissolved from its own element. It is Nature's grand alembic whence is evolved those matters that constitute the food of plants, and make up their structure from the time the seed enters the soil / J I --The Princess Salm-Salm, whose death in England is announced, was known in theatrical circles in this coun­ try under the name of Agnes Le Clerq or Leclair.
