M utin lloff man, a rtsider.t of this city, returned to day from a visit in Butler county. He reports a case of genuine leprosy in Hosa lia, that county, the sufferer bein a young woman named Wariff. Mr. Huffman formerly lived in Hosalia, and knew the family, but ne"-er until this visit imagin ed the disease to be what it really is. Four years ao Mr. and Mrs. Wariff came to America from Sweden. About a year later a rash, which proved incurable, ap peared on Mrs. Wariffs body. Site lias daily grown worse, until her flesh is fall ing oil in pieces. Recently aconsuhrion of the physicians of the neighborhood was held, and th.r disease was pror.ouncid leprosy. The woman is now kept closely confined to her room, mi l no one but her husband Mrs. Wariff says her father in Sweden was a fisherman, and very poor. She n -ycr saw any food but fish, and attributes her disease to its too constant use. Snow Stops a Celebration. Ei. Paso, Tex..

Nkuuask.v CYrv, Xeb., Dec. 12. Sat urday night Mayor L irsh ordered the police to raid all houses of ill-Lima and arrest all inmates. Uefore the police ties tended upon the houses the inmates had been informed of the proposed visit, and when the police called Hilmo was not a oul in the houses. Shortly after t lie mayor saw George Wint on, a member of the police force, riding in a hack with several of the women, and at once reliev ed him of his ttar. It is presumed that Winton gave the thing away. Mayor Larsh has taken a very derided stand in this matter, and bard characters must leave town if he has to attend to it personally.

Irene AI etrosn, a.T she tended her father's cattle in the land --of a. thousand lakes," dreamed and pondered over all tho marvels of science and learning which seemed for ever a sealed lxxk to her poverty and ignorance. Yearning to be wise, yet seeing no hope in a gray life of toil and struggle, at last ehe prayed to die, that she might reach a sphere where her crav ings would be satisfied ! A humane pastor, divining her longing-, sent her to a good school, where she passed as fourth among forty -six young girls, at the age of 18, though only pre pared by her own self lie! p. She took work in earnest here, often sitting up all night, thinking over tho day's tasks, while her companions slept all around her, and afterward when as a day pupil the had to provide her own meals, she sometimes went to the classes fasting, save for the fresh snow she picked up and ate on tho way, for her father was totally ruined, and she must soon leave school and begin earning. For a while the bravely suppressed her longings, and submitted to the drudgery of teaching, yet never losing sight of the goal she bad long had at heart her matriculation. At last, having saved $20, with the scantiest of luggage e-he journeyed to Ilclsingfors, and in defiance of opposition, chiefly feminine, Irene prepared for her ordeal. She paid her lodging in advance for the whole winter (15), and invested in four loaves of the hard round rye biscuit of Scandinavia and Finland, which keeps many months, dividing them methodi cally so that she had a piece for each day till Christmas. In the depth of winter tho worked without a fire, at a tempera turo of 30 dogs. Celsius. A kind profes sor taught her Latin, moved by her as Eiiranco that unless she learned it she could neither live content nor die happy. Her progress was most rapid; she matri culated, taught again awhile for the suka of her family, renewed hor own btu-Jies, took a brilliant . degree, and at last, recognized by her nation for what s he is, tho dauntless pioneer of women's progress, she now lives honored and ep prcciated, still educating her brothers, slid thirsting insatiably after truth.

Few, prbulily, of tho men who patronizo tho niuny sho lil:iekin establishments in the streets and sit in comfortable arm ehairs on bruss ornamentel sUmds ever stop to think of tho origin of theso conveniences. 1 hey have increased in number so rapidly within the past few years that they are now as common a sifht ua u stroct lamp or a horso car. Tho majority of tho utands aro maile in Worth street by an Italian, who proudly claims the honor of inventing them. His triangular shajied shop is over a black smith's and is reached by a short flight of rough wooden steps that might alms:t bo called a ladder. , In this small shop, wii.h oi:o window, lxxt blacking stands aro piled from floor to ceiling. They uro in various stages of completion and ia diUcront sizes, sonio l;eing large enough for one, two or three chairs, so that a purchaser may buy accord ing to his means. They range in price from fur a pino wood, painted, single chau s'aud, as Jiigh as ZAi). Uut, of course, no hightoucd bootblack would buy a 2 airair. Ho would nsoiro to one made of mahogany a.:d brass moimled, which would cost him S or i 0. '.:c is going out of fashion as a covering for the top, and brass is taking its place. A stand large enough for three chairs was in proccs'j of construction, and when finished will l sold for $30. It contained three lock drawers for brushes and blacking, bcside3 a money drawer, and will have a brass top uud trimmings. The genial inventor is a good looking Ital ian about 50 years of age, who has been in this city six or seven - years. Ho seemed pleased to talk of his work, but deplored tho fact that four or fivo men who had worked under him had set up similar workshops, so t hat ho has not so many orders as formerly. Ilo unlocked the door of a small oliieo and showed some designs for the foot rests. There were stately camels, fierce looking lion.-:, ponie.; and soldiers, bat the most origi nal iviis a cavalier on a prancing charger framed in a horseshoe. Theso aro the Ital ian's own designs.

I could see at a glance that he was i.e.; at aU the kind of man I had supposed Jii-.-i t- be.

Luko Sharp in Detroit Frco I'rfcss. Peculiarity of tho Salesman. "There is, one iocuiiarity about the average salesman or saleswoman (not ralcslady you might as well say salesge:;tleman ts sales lady) which is very stupid and decidedly c.i-asix-rating to the customer," said a lady tha other day. "I will give you on illustration. This morning I wont to a largo store and asked to sco a certain article, saying that I wanted to examine both, the higher aud lower priced qtiAliticq, The salesman showed mo two pioeo :, ono at forty-fivo cents a yard end the other at thirty-fivo cents. He said, in answer to my question, that those were all he had.

" 'Well,' said tho man, 'I believe wo hayQ some at that price, but it is chco.p.' ja.d he brought out the very thi'ia I was in search of, 'Why didrit you show mo that at first s I asked. iWc.Il, it's cheap,' said tho stupid fellow; and that woo the o;ily thing J could get out of him. If I hadn't really wanted tho article I would hayu turned around and walked put of the store. J have had that painc- f":perience time and again.
