CABIN ET-M AKIK <3* fk>mMhlng off tli<? *"For mation of Cabinet* Itf t the Past. The Cincinnati Times, reviewing the j Cabinets of past Presidents, has the fol-; lowing interesting article on the sub- j ject. f A retrospective glance at Cabinet-mak- | ing in the past will suffice to show that i there has been no settled usage in regard ' fo the selection of the heads of chief ex­ ecutive departments except the will and pleasure of the President. As to geo­ graphical distribution even, there are no {>recedents having the force of unwritten ; aw. Again, while it has been compara- j tively rare to invite a member of either j branch of Congress into the Cabinet, it J has several times happened, though the j general sentiment and the usual practice | has been against such selections. In the one or two marked cases the President j has chosen some of hiB constitutional ad- J visers from among hia competitors for the party nomination, but it can not be • called a usage. What nearest approaches to uniform custom, and what the people are fairly entitled to expect, is that none but the ablest and most trusted men of the party whose principles the President represents shall be selected for these high positions. Almost invariably, of late years especially, there has been an entire change of heads of departments with each election of a new President. During the eight, years 6L the first Presidency--1789 to 1796--mere were but five executive departments. Army and navy affairs were under the control of one department, the separation into the War and Navy Departments occur­ ring in 1798. The Department of the Interior was first organized in 1849. Two of Washington's first heads of de­ partments were from his own State of Virginia, and two were from Massachu­ setts, the residence of the Vice President, the fifth (Alexander Hamilton) being from New York. (The Postmaster Gen­ eral, it is to be borne in mind, though included in this statement, was not actu­ ally recognized as a Cabinet officer until 1827.) John Adams at first continued all of Washington's Cabinet in .pjace, though, with two exceptions, all were changed before the close of his administration. Jefferson chose a new Secretary of State (James Madison) from his own State; a new Attorney General, Tlieopliilus Par­ sons, of Massachusetts(who declined and Levi Lincoln of the same State took his ?lace); a new Secretary of War, Henry learborn, also of Massachusetts; and continued the three other heads of de­ partments (there were now six) who had held office under his predecessor and po­ litical opponent. It is somewhat remark­ able that three members of this Cabinet, as at first constituted (Samuel Dexter, being Secretary of the Treasury), were from Massachusetts. Only Mr. Madison and Dearborn, however, remained in of­ fice until the close of eight years' admin­ istration (1801 to 1809). Mr. Madison continued three t of his predecessors in office, for a time, but all were changed before the close of his ad­ ministration. As originally constituted, there was one member from each of the States of Maryland, Pennsylvania, Mas­ sachusetts, South Carolina, Connecticut and Delaware. During the eight years, the offioe of Secretary of State was filled by two different persons; that of the Secretary of the Treasury by three; Secretary of War, four ; Secretary of the Navy, three ; Postmaster General, two, and Attorney General, three. Mr. Monroe selected an entirely new Cabinet, and his example has been al­ most uniformly followed in this respect, the chief "exception (aside from Van Buren's administration, to be noted here­ after) being that J. Q. Adams retained one-half his predecessor's "constitution­ al advisers." From this time forward, j too, there has been a similar uniformity | in distributing Cabinet appointments j with definite regard to geographical lines, j Jackson's first Cabinet (1829) had one j member from each of the States of New j York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee (the i President's own State), North Carolina, j Kentuoky and Georgia. Martin Van Buren retained the last Cabinet of his | " illustrious predecessor," that being, j presumably, one condition on which t Jackson consented to name his political j heir. The Attorney General, in this! case, was from New York, the President's j own State. j Harrison, of course, had a new Cabi- i net throughout, taking his Secretory of I the Treasury from his own State, and it i will be conceded that he had one of the | strongest Cabinets ever formed--con- j stituted as follows : j Secretary of State--Daniel Webster, | Mass. j Secretary of the Treasury--Thomas j Ewing, Ohio. I Secretary of War--John Bell, Texiii. Secretary of the Navy--Geo. E. Bad­ ger, Ga. Postmaster General--Francis Granger, New York. Attorney General--John J. Critten­ den. Kentucky. JJJWhen, on the death of Harrison (1841), John Tyler became acting Presi- j dent, all this Cabinet resigned except Mr. Webster, who remained to complete j certain foreign negotiations, and retired ! in 1845. j Mr. Polk (1845) selected his Postmas- i ter General (Cave Johnson) from his j own State, Tennessee, and his Secretary j of State (James Buchanan) from, Penn­ sylvania, the State of Vice President I Dallas. The four other members were Robert J. Walker (Treasury), of Missis­ sippi ; Wm. L. Marcy (War), of New York ; George Bancroff (Navy), of Mas­ sachusetts, and John Y. Mason (Attor­ ney General), of Virginia. Taylor's Cabinet contained no member i from'his own State, or that of the Vice j President, Millard Fillmore, of New i York. When the latter succeeded to the J Presidency, on the death of President i Taylor, he chose • the following strong I Cabinet, including one from rfis own ! State: Daniel Webster (State), Massa- i chusetts; Thomas Corwin (Treasury), ' Ohio; C. M. Conrad (War), Louisiana; j W. A. Graham (Navv), North Carolina; j A. H. H. Stuart < In tenor), Virginia; I Nathan K. Hall (Postmaster General), j New York; and J. J. Crittenden (Attor- ' ney General), Kentucky. j Pierce took a Cabinet officer from New , England (Caleb Cushing, of Massachu- | setts), but none from his own State, j Buchanan selected a new Cabinet j throughout, with one member (J. S. i BLick, Attorney General) from his own St .it- President Lincoln appointed to his Cabinet three of his competitors for the Presidential nomination, and, notwithr standing he received no electoral vote from any of the slave States, and scarcely any popular vote, one member (Mont­ gomery Blair, Postmaster General) was from Missouri. Messrs. Seward and Wells, two members of Mr. Lincoln's original Cabinet, remained in office under Andrew Johnson. President Grant, it is needless to say, selected a new Cabinet throughout; and one (Mr. Washburne, Secretary of State) was from his own State, Illinois, but re­ mained in office but a few days. Subse­ quently, Gen. Rawlins, also of Illinois, was made Secretary of War, holding the office until his death. Only one of Pres­ ident Grant's Cabinet (Mr. Boutwell) was a member of Congress at the time of his appointment. * FOOD FACTS. STEAK* Details of the Plan by Which Mr. Holly Will Heat the City of Lockport, S. Y. [From the New York World.] 11 We have heretofore alluded briefly to a plan deVised by Mr. B. Holly, of Ldck- potr, to heat that city by steam. The Lockport Union supplies a more extend­ ed account of the proposed experiment, and it is so curious that it will be read with general interest. It seems that a number of substantial citizens of- Lock- port have formed a company under the name of the " Holly Steam Combination Company, Limited," and have elected a Board of Directors, in which Samuel Rogers, D.. F. Bishop, I. H. Babcock, F. N. Trever, B. D. Hall, and M. M. Southworth are associated with Mr. Hol­ ly, and the experiment is actually to be made under the following estimate : Estimated present cost for coal, wood, kind­ ling, labor, repair of wtoveH and furnaoeB for w arming the following district, in the city of Lockport, being about one-half mile square, bounded as follows: East by Washington street, south by High street, west by Saxon street, north by Caledonia street, including the following : Four hundred and seventy-five dwellings at $100 each (for fuel and labor) $. 47,500 One hundred and fifty stores at $126 each.... 18,700 Two hundred and fifty offices and rooms (over and about the stores) 12,000 Twelve churches at $400 each (labor and fuel) 4,800 Ten hotels at $700 "each, four school-houses at $600 each, one opera-house 10,000 Factories, shops, mill offices, etc 1,500 Lifetime of stoves and furnaces, for ten years at 10 per cent 5,000 Total $100,400 For cost of works for warming the above district with wteam: Eighteen thousand four hundred and eighty feet of main pipe at $1 per foot $>18,480 Building and amoke-stack 3,000 Six straw boilers and fixtures 10,000 Lot for building and coal-yard . 3,000 Incidentals 3,000 Total $ 37,480 Mr. Holly has written a dook in which he sets forth fully his plan for supplying steam for heating and doing all the vari­ ous machine labor of cities and villages, domestic, mercantile, manufacturing etc. He says : In cities or towns of from 3,000 to 8,000 in­ habitants, where the main business portion does not exceed one-half mile square, one set of boilers, located near the center of the place, with pipes leading out ill four directions, will do all the work. If the city is one mile square, four sets of boilers will be necessary. The main pipes that leave the boilers will be four-inch, and will diminish to 8, 2}.j, 2, 1}<.' aud 1 inch at the extreme end away from the boilers, the mains of four-inches continuing as the use along the lines may demand. rIhe main pipes are placed about four feet below the surface of the earth. The iron pipes are tirst covered with asbestos, and then placed in wood pipes two inches thick, leaving a space for confined air between the asbestos and wood. The outside pipe keeps all water and moisture from the steam-pipe and prevents condensation. The pipes, both wood and iron, are put down in loiigtViM nf two feet, wkan Utrniiwaiet in hol­ low. upright posts, (irmly secured in the earth. The upper part of this ]>ost is arranged so as to re­ ceive the ends of the steam-pipes through stuf­ fing-boxes to allow the pipes to expand and con­ tract without moving the post. The posts are also arranged so as to receive the ends of the service-pipes either with or without expansion joints. The service-pipes arc not taken di­ rectly from the mains, but from the hollow supports, thus allowing them to be attached or detached from the supjxtrt instead of pass­ ing through the outside wooden pipe to enter the steam-pijie, which could not be done be­ cause the steam-pipe expands and contracts, while the wooden-pii>e does not. This over­ comes one of the most, imwrtant objections to the use of long lines of underground steam- pipes. when branch pipes are to be taken off. Another objection has been condensation. This the asbestos reduces about three-fourths, and the air-space and wooden-pipe will reduce it still further. Tests made during the month of July, with very small pipe, prove that steam may be carried "through well-protected pipes for a mile, and then be more economical than any other system. But it is thought that 1,200 or 1,500 feet c-ach way, making a half-mile square, is about all that need be furnished from one location. This, even in a city with a population of 1.500, would include nearly all the business places, hotels, churches, and scIhkjIs. Build­ ings -further out could lte reached by a single line of small pipe. Steam can be manufactured on a large scale for one-fourth the cost that it can on a small scale, for warming a single dwell­ ing or block. Yon can stop the expense at any­ time by turning the steam-cock in your house, whereas in the use of a private boiler, when you shut off the steam, combnstion goes on just the same. Hiere is about 150 cubic feet of hot air per minute lost through the chimney. A Letter Forty Tears Reaching: its Destination. ' A Washington correspondent says an application was received at the Dead Letter Office quite recently, from Mr. Palmer Gardner, of Burlington, Racine county, Wis., for a letter mailed to him in 1833. This letter contained a certifi­ cate of deposit for $360, issued by the Onondaga Bank, Syracuse, N. Y., and was sent from there in October of the year mentioned, by Wm. N. Gardner, to his brother, Palmer Gardner, at "De­ troit, Michigan Territory." Not being claimed at Detroit, it was sent to the Dead Letter Office, and thence back to the Postmaster at Syracuse, who, being unable to find the sender, returned it to the Dead Letter Offioe again, where it lay undisturbed in the dusty files until the Centennial Exhibition. It was then conveyed, with other curiosities of the Dead Letter Office, to Philadelphia, and there chanced to be seen by an acquaint­ ance of Mr. Gardner, who informed him of his discovery, and thus, after the lapse of more than forty years, the letter reached its destination. The postage on the letter when it was first mailed from Syracuse was 25 cents. iThe Kutrtment Contained in OUBfMirt Ar­ ticles of Food -- Value ot Rice as a Diet. [From Hall's Journal of Health.] The world little imagines how largely it is indebted to the laborious researches of scientific medical men for many of the most important trutlis relative to human health, happiness and life. As popula­ tion increases, and the value of food is enhanced, the knowledge which chemis­ try has elicited is becoming more and more valuable in ft practical point of view. " How much ability to labor can I de­ rive troin eating a pound oi potatoes, or a dollar's worth of brandy, beer or gin ?" are items which could be turned to large account by multitudes of the toiling poor. Some kinds of food are more nutritious than others, and if it should be foun that articles which are cheapest have most nutriment, and give the highest ability to labor, then knowledge becomes money to the poor. Tables vary, but some of the general results are as follows: One pound of rice, prepared for the table, gives 88 per cent, of nu­ triment, and, consequently, a relative proportional ability to labor, compared with other articles of food. A pound of beef, costing 15 cents, gives only 26 per cent of nutriment According to these estimates, therefore, rice as an article of food, is 100 per cent cheaper, 100 per cent more valuable to the common la­ borer than roast beef, yet countless numbers of the poor in New York strain a point daily to purchase beef T at 15 cents a pound, when they could get a pound of rice for one- tliird the amount, the rice, too, haviilig three times as much nutriment as the beef, making a practical difference of 600 per cent., aside from the fact that boiled rice is tliree times easier of digestion than roact beef, the rice being digested in about one hour, roast beef requiring three hours and a half. There is mean­ ing, then, in the reputed fact that two- fifths of the human family live mainly on rice. We compile, therefore, the fol­ lowing tables for preservation, as being practically and permanently useful. All the economist requires is to compare the price of a pound of food with the amount of nutriment it affords. Mode of Prepara- Perfrutag* of Cu- . Kind o: food. tion. trinwnt.

They began by breaking into a store and stealing $180, with which they bought a horse, guns, and a camping out­ fit Loading themselves and their goods on the horse, they took to the road, in­ tending to undertake daring highway robberies. They made their first at­ tempt on a stage coach, were captured, and are now in jail A Ilawk Among Hens. Gilbert White tells a most dramatic story of a neighbor who had lost most of his chickens by a sparrow-hawk that came gliding down between a faggot pile and the end of his house, to the place where his coops stood. The owner, vexed to see his flock diminishing, hung a net between the pile and the house, into which the bird dashed and was en­ tangled. The gentleman's resentment, suggested a fit retaliation; he, therefore, clipped the hawk's wings, cut off his t:d- ons, and, fixing a cork on his bill, threw him down among the brood-liens., " Im­ agination," says Mr. White, "cannot paint the scene that ensued; the ex­ pressions that fear, rage and revenge in­ spired were new, or at least such as had been unnoticed before; the exasperated matrons upbraided, they execrated, they insulted, they triumphed. In a word, they never desisted i'rom buffeting their adversary till they had torn him in a hundred pieces."--Svribncr for Feb­ ruary. Death at the Age ^of 104 Years. Lady Smith, who, had she lived about three months longer, would have com­ pleted her 104th year, died in Lowestoft, Eng., on Feb. 3. At the age of 23 she was married to Sir James Edward Smith, who was then a young physician of lim­ ited means, but had the courage to pur­ chase, on his own responsibility, the col­ lections of Linnieus, and thus became the founder and first President of the Dinnseus Society. He died in 1828, so that Lady Smith, after thirty-two years of wedlock, lived in widowhood for near­ ly half a century. She had a remarka­ ble constitution. She hardly knew wha illness was until within the last tliree years. She had preserved nearly all her teeth, and her eyesight was good enough to enable her to read the news- \ papers. At the age of 100 she preserved j many traits of her former beauty, and"! her undimmed eyes and fresh color i called forth the admiration of all who saw j her. How to Wet New Tools. The Journal of Proyrcx* makes the • following rather sarcastic suggestions, 1 which we fear are more generally fol- : lowed than opposite ones would be: "And now, dear fanners, such of you as are tired of the old tools, let us give you a bit of advice. If you don't take it any ; better than advice we have given you on j former occasions, all flight--it will V>e no | great loss to us ; so here it is : Do not j rub linseed oil on your fork and shovel I and rake handles; do not paint your plows and mowers ; do not use any "rust; preventive on the iron and steel parts, and, j above all, leave everytliing out of doors, i You have really no idea how quickly you i will possess a new set of tools, provided ! you have a balance in the bank." A Parisian Night Scene. Workmen who are tearing down buildings in Paris to make way for the new Avenue de l'Opera labor all through the night. Huge bonfires are lighted on the vacant places ^whence demolished houses have been removed, and the work of destruction goes on in the glaring blaze. Electric lights are also used to assist the laborers upon the roofs. The clouds of dust constantly arising, the smoke of the bonfires, the glare of the lime lights, and the weird figures of the workmen combine to make a fantastic scene, and nightly crowds gather to gaze at the spectacle.
