From the : ‘Tribune. Jacob Meyer spent six hours in jail as a punishment for contempt of court. Meyer brought the punishment on hin:self by taking from his pocket an old pipe, which had seen long service, filling it with tobacco and lighting it in Judge Baker’s court room. Meyer was called as a witness in a rob- bery case which was on trial, and while waiting his turn to testify sat by one of the windows in the rear of the room. It was there that the notion of taking a meke seized Fim and he acted on it. Judge Baker called him up and gave him a severe lecture on the duty of a good citizen to respect the courts of the land and not smoke pipes in them while they are in session. Sea Li Hung Chang’s Baggage. From the New York Herald. Li Hung Chang prepared for all emer- gercies of life and death when he left Pekin to attend the coronation of the Czar of Moscow. He took with him not only a doctor and seventy-nine other attendants, but also a coffin ready to receive the body of a man of his birth and rank in case he should die during his mission. The coffin is of the most elaborate Chinese work- manship, and is decorated profusely with gold figures and clusters of precious stones. It cost hw, “Two of Li Hung Chang's attendants have no other occupation than to care for this coffin throughout the mis- sion.

At Portland, Me., he first produced Rossini's “Stabat Maier” and other works of similar char. acter. Selxed With the Gold Fever. The Callfornla excitement was at its height; it seized Crouch and he started, ac- rs of ‘companied by his wife, for the gold fields by way of Baltimore. In Philadelphia his wife became il, and while waiting for her slow recovery he brought out “Joseph and His Brethren” and Locke’s music to “Mac- beth.” His means became much reduced during his wife's protracted convalescence, and he accepted tne position of musical di- rector of the choir of St. Maithew's Church of this city, and, with the assistance of his friend Heller, conducted the Philharmonic Seciety. After remaining in Washington for a number of years he journeyed southward, and upon reaching Richmond, Va., his pro- fessional services were engaged for St. Paui’s Church, then under the pastorate of Rev. Dr. Minnigerode, who afterward be- came the pastor of Jefferson Davis. Crouch sang here at a salary of $4,000 per annum, but upon the outbreak of the war he re- signed it and entered the confederate army as a private soldier. He enlisted in the Richmond Grays, from which he was tfafisferred to the howitzer company of Gol: Cadell's batallion of artillery, Army of Nofilern Virginia, ist Army Corps, under Geli: Longstreet. “He was the life of the éohifany.

His Later Life. After the war he Yeturned to Richmond, to find his home broker up, his books, man- uscripts and almost everything else he possessed destroyed. He then started out to look for work, and while passing along the road to Buckingham Court House he stepped at the home of a prominent man and there found employment as a gardener. After serving in that capacity for some time be was recognized by several federal army officers as the distinguished musician of ante-bellum days, ard they secured for him a pcsition as a teacher of music fer young ladles. Subsequently he returned to Richmond and taught music there. Professor Crouch took up his residence ja Baltimore in 1871, and soon became prominent in musical circles and as teacher. As above stated, he compos about 2,000 songs, but lacked the busin: ability to make them pay, and the bes known of them all, “Kathleen Mavour- neen,”’ he gave away. The only benefit he reaped from the famous song was an in- direct one. An Trish lad, fmpressed by_its sWeet strains, remembered them long after he had reached middle life, and abandon- ing his own name, took that of the old musician, becoming his adopted son, in order that he might care for him. This is Jamex Marion Roche, a paymaster in. thi 2tes navy, who became James Roche Crouch, Within the last few : pfessor Crouch’s adopted son was retired, and he is now in the Naval Home Philadeiphta, Crouch was married st wile was M Virginia, who sury four times, s the father of twenty: hildren.

The printing paper he uses Is covered with a gelatinous substance, which has the property of becoming indissoluble if exposed to light in proportion to the amount of light which is allowed to act upon it. Thi s in rolls or sheets, but not s and it is necessary to dip it first Into a 5 per cent solution of bi- wLOPER. An chromate before using it. The sensitized sheet of paper is placed in a printing frame under the negative in the usual way, the exposure taking place under artificial light and for a few seconds only. The operator has no way of telling when the print is sufficiently exposed, for the pic- ture will not show until development, prac. tice being the only guide in this operation. The way the picture is brought out and finished is very curious when compared to the older methods. Two or three quarts of sawdust are mixed into a fluid mass with a sufficient quantity of warm water. <A thermometer is used'to stir the mass,which ought to be used at a temperature of about 80 degrees Fahrenheit. The temperature of the mixture remaips stationary on account of the sawdust used. The exposed print is first dipped into cold-water to make it soft, and is then fastened by means of clamps to a plate of plain glass. A can filled with the mixture of sawdust and water js then taken and poured over the print. he picture comés out. slowly if the exposure has been provers cane: If the picture appears too fast ,tcis a sign that it has been overexposed, anda coo%r mixture, of about 68 degrees Fahrenheit, must quickly be taken and poured.over the picture, thus retarding its progress and saving it definite- ly. If the picture should come out too slow the temperature of. the mixture may be raised to 85 degrees Fahrenheit ith im- punity. When the print is strong and clear enough it is simply placed into cold water to wash off every trace of the bichromate, and it may then be immediately mounted upon cardboard. These prints are of a mellow black color, and will never fade or deterior- ate. The greatest advantage in using this kind of paper for printing photographs is the fact that no chemicals of any descrip- tion, except bichromate, are used, Since paper sensitized with bichromate may be carried along and used for a long time, there is no necessity for carrying even that chemical along, and sawdust can probably be procured anywhere. —_—_—+e-___.
