BI BEN: nsucr POORE. *fti* Colonel of a New York meat teHaestarY of the battle of .. _ charter. Intiethiokerf rf«U •hen the daughter in the Union line had beoome ^rfectly frightful, he de- teeted a stout Irishman of his regiment curled up behind » great tree* He rode up to the delinquent and savagely reprimanded him for hia cowardice. Bat the man, with irresistible Hiber­ nian drollery, responded, "Xow, Colonel dear, don't be hard trill* a poor felly like me! A coward is it? Faith, I think I am; but I'd rather be called that every day in the year than be like that poor crayter yonder." Tlie "poor crayter yonder," to whom the Colonel's attention was directed, was the mangled corpse of a soldier whose head had been entirely demolished by a shot. The odd earnestness of the fellow's ex- ease made the Colonel larigh heartily, ' and the man was left to the enjoyment of his tree. The first newspaper printed and pttb- lialied in Washington* City was the Ga- setle, the first number of which ap­ peared on the 15th of June, 1796. It was edited and published by Benjamin More, a book-seller, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, at $1 per annum, and was really a good paper for that day, well made up and neatly printed. The editor complained bitterly from time to time of the want of patronage, and finally, after thirty-five weeks of ex­ istence, it was discontinued. The Na­ tional Tntelligeflcer was started by Mr. Smith, a Philadelphia editor, who took his press and type to the new citv be­ ing laid out in the woods on the bank of the Potomac. The first number was issued in September, 1800, and after a while it became the property of Gales & Seaton, by whom it was published for upwards, of half a century. Origi­ nally conservative, it became the organ of the Whigs, and occupied the position until it followed the Whig party to the grave. Since the Intelligencer was first issued, 126 newspapers have been started in Washington City, political, religious, agricultural, literary, me­ chanical, and military, and few of them have survived a year, and the metropo­ lis has been termed the cemetery Of newspapers. ' The Congressional Temperance So­ ciety, as originally organized in 1833, recognized abstinence from the use of ardent spirit and from the traffic in it. The phrase "ardent spirit," employed In the pledge, meaning distilled liquors, and not wine, cider, or malt beverages, ' was found inadequate to define the boundaries of safety and danger; some of the very men for whom their brethren in the Senate and House had* employed the organization as a reform club fell, and that without breaking its pledge. One of these, a man of un­ common brilliancy, illustrating tho truth that this vice, as has been said of death, "loves a shining mark," had fbeen, apparently, saved from his terri­ ble appetite, but as the pledge did not include fermented liquors he soon fell, fend one day rushed up to the noble man who had persuaded him to join the society, exclaiming: "For Heaven's sake. Gov. Briggs, give mo something to save me; this pledge isn't worth the J»aper it is written on!" A new^organ- ization was soon effected, on tlTe basis ,of abstinence from all intoxicating drinks; and Tom Marshall commenced his speech at the next public meeting with the suggestive words: "Mr. Pres­ ident, the old Congressional Temper­ ance Society has died of intemperance, holding the pledge in one hand and the champagne bottle in the other." In later years the society has had annual meetings and chosen officers, but the number of its members has been very small. Senator Wilson took a great Interest in it, and good old Dr. Chick- ering has kept it alive, and has seen that its proceedings were reported by type and telegraph throughout the land. There lias been a very gratify­ ing improvement in the deportment of Congressmen, so far as intemperate drinking is concerned, of late years. True, whisky has only been nominally banished from the Capitol, but very little of it ib drank as compared with former years, and during the last session I do not think that there were more than two Congressmen intoxicated dur­ ing the session. It may not be generally known that there are, on the banks of the Potomac, the sites of two proposed cities, whose projectors were once sanguine that they would grow and attain a national importance in population and trade, bat which stubbornly refused to thrive in spite of all that was done to push them forward. The first of these is Jackson City, on the Virginia side of the Potomac, just opposite to Wash­ ington. The idea of building this city as a rival to the National Capital was conceived by some of "Old Hickory's" friends during his presidential term, and such faith did they have in the name that they did not think failure was possible if they called it Jackson City. Accordingly, they bought of Mr. George Mason, for $100,000, a large part of which was paid in bonds of the company, a traet of land and laid it off in lots, Btreet6 and avenues on a mag­ nificent scale. Then, to give eclat to the scheme, they determined upon a public demonstration on the occasion of the laying of the corner-stone of the new city. Accordingly on the day ap­ pointed a large crowd assembled on the spot, among which were President Jackson and members of his Cabinet, and many other distinguished persons; and after an oration had been delivered by George Washington Park Custis the corner-stone of Jackson City was laid with imposing ceremonies. But, strange to say, that is about all that ever was laid, notwithstanding the mag­ nificent send-off with which it had been inaugurated. The traveler who passes the site to-day sees only one or two dilapidated frame houses to mark the spot. The other-dead city Is Quantico, on the Potomac, some twenty miles below Washington. Soon after the close of tiie late war, when the Richmond. Fredericksburg and Potomac Railroad was extended to that point, the city was laid out on an extensive scale, and snch confidence did its projectors have in its future that they went to work and built a large and handsome four- story hotel, at a cost of many thousand dollars. They also obtained a charter conferring upon the company extensive Kwers, such as to build railroads, do a nking business, engage in manufac­ turing projects, etc., but, contrary to their sanguine expectations, the enter­ prise never thrived, and instead of a bustling, busy city, Quantico is a quiet country railroad station, and not lxkelv ever to be anything else.

Fhk as Food. , Fish has always, within historical titties, been a&'iinportant article of diet. In some parts of the world it is the sta­ ple article of food. The huge shell- heaps in Europe and America, the re­ mains of tribal feasts in periods long anterior to written records, show how greatly shell-fish entered into the diet of aboriginal races. Fish is cheap. It furnishes to most people an agreeable change with meat. Salted and dried, it is in season at any time of the year, and can be exported to regions where fresh fish is unknown or rare. It is held by some authorities that fish contains elements of special value as food for the brain, nerves, and bones. But, in the matter of diet, we need always to plan for weak stomachs. There is a difference of digestibility in fish. Some contain a large proportion of oil, and are therefore of more value to such as can digest them. Others are comparatively free from oil. There is much difference also in the muscular fiber of fish, wh£ch in some are short and tender. Salt fish is more difficult of digestion than fresh. The manner of cooking fish makes a difference in digestibility. Fish fried in butter is easier digested than fish fried in ordinary fat; boiled it is still easier, and steamed it is easier still. It is a common belief that fish is a very good dish for the sick, when con­ valescing. But a writer in the Lancet has found cases frequently occurring in his practice in which a dish of it had been followed by dangerous and even fatal, relapses, and he had become ac­ customed to restrain its use. He After­ wards, however, concluded that the sole difficulty was in the cooking. He says: "For this hint I am in­ debted to the intelligence of a patient. I hod, as usual, forbidden fish, and ex­ plained my reasons. I was told that fish steamed, as was done in that house, was tender, and never disagreed with the patient, but was partaken of with relish and benefit. I got a steamer for myself, have since recommended this plan of cookery to my patients, and have had satisfactory results. Dieting is the half, and sometimes the best half of medical treatment; and perhaps, a little to my chagrin, I find that this system of preparing fish has been specially recommended by various schools of cookery." - Companion. ' : k. .v v Logging Railways. v ' » 'pet^lOpment in the direction of t&gf- ging railways on the Pacific coast might be taken as an indication that operators in that quarter are making such a hole in their timber resources as to require longer hauls and the improved facilities which these make essential, in order to keep their mills supplied with stock. This, however, is not a necessary con­ clusion. In hauling the large, heavy timber which abounds in the country, there is reason to suppose that a good logging railway would prove more effect­ ive and much cheaper than trucks and animal power. When there is business enough to warrant it, logging by rail proves the cheaper method in Michigan and Wis­ consin, where they have the advantage of snow roads and sled hauling to help out on the side of the old way, and it would be strange indeed if the Pacific coast lumbermen could not make it even more economical as compared with any other method open to their use. They are evidently codvinced that they cac do so, for the past year has seen more money invested in improvements of this character in the Puget Sound district, in Washington Territory, than has been so employed altogether in times past And the work still goes on. A recent writer speaks of seven dif­ ferent lumber concerns in that region which have such roads already building. Most of them are standard gauge roads, well graded, substantially constructed and equipped with first-class motive power and rolling stock. They are roads Which are in keeping with the business as it is conducted in that district, and it is not to be doubted that their pro­ jectors will find them eminently profit­ able. The building of them indicates that the lumber makers there are enjoying s measure of prosperity, and that they see ahead the opportunity of selling a good deal of lumber. The fact of such heavy investments in the machinery ol logging, by the Pacific slope operators, indicates a purpose to cut liberally, which they would not be apt to enter­ tain unless there is warrant in the out­ look for an increased production of the mills--The Timberman. A Famous Dancing-Master. In 1825 and 1626 he was my dancing- master, and the statement then was that he had been chief dancer at the Opera, and having broken the tendon achillis, was obliged to leave the stage. He was in England at that time, and, so far as I know, long after, and previous to 1850. Before 1850 and before Charles Keane he had been a ballot-master, and so far as I remember, at the Opera. If is possible 1795, the year of the reputed birth, is near the time. In 1825 he was a handsome man of, say, 35. He was then maried, so that the wife named in the article was a second wife. Oscar Byrne kept his class of boyish clubs in order in a special way. He promised them that if they were orderly and obeyed his instructions he would dance to them, and, like Orphetm, bis brutes surrendered to his enchantment. His hancing delighted even rough boys, and they would say, "Mr. Byrne do give us another dance f--Notes and Queries. ' Old-Fashioned. There lives a man within ten miles from Boston whose love for the old takes a more practical form than is commonly supposed to exist in the present day. He has a comfortable home in the suburbs, but in it stove has never been placed. The house is heated entirely by old-fashioned fire­ places in each room, and the gentleman claims that in the coldest days in winter his home is warmer and more comfort­ able than any of the houses of his neighbors, heated as. they are by steam or hot-air furnaces. And further, all the cooking for the family is done at one of these same open fireplaces, pre­ sumably in the same manner as it wan done at the hearths of our fathers of the last century. And the gentleman sniffs his nose at food cooked by a stove, and maintains that the old fire­ place is far superior, both for cooking and heating, to "any of your new­ fangled notions."--Boston Traveller. Doubt springs from the mind ; faith is the daughter of the soul.--J. Petit •iW' •hnr Uttle Men Know of Uw TtoiMm «*f their Neighbor*. [Boston Herald.] A thought brought home to the mind with especial force by late occurrences in this vicinity is how little men know of the cares and the troubles of those about them. People are prone to de­ preciate their own good fortunes in tho world and magnify the success of others. Most often, perhaps, is this the case in the view taken of the happiness of men possessed of apparent wealth. Wealth is assumed, especially by those who have little of it, to bring inevitable comfort and happiness. There was an old story, told to the youth of an earlier generation, of a barefoot boy who was in the habit of seeing another lad roll by him each day in a carriage, and who came to repine that his fate had not been so fortunately cast as that of this pampered scion of wealth. One day the envious lad obtained a view of the interior of the carriage, and found the inmate to be a helpless cripple. There nre older people who may well take this lesson homo to themselves. The heart knoweth its own bitterness, and no heart is without trouble. Skeletons stand in many more closets than the world wots of. "Let no man be envied till the grave'has closed over him," was the remark of a, philosopher who had had a profound observation of human life. The business of money-making at its best is a heavy thorn upon the sensibil­ ities of men. Many fail where one suc­ ceeds in it. Many men appear to suc­ ceed when their whole life is a struggle against lailnre, a perpetual fight to pre­ vent ruin. Others, still worse, are each day engaged in an encounter to ward off both ruin and disgrace. The cares of business weigh upon the mind as much as the cares of poverty. The one is a straight, simple effort for sub- sistance. It presses liard at times, but it is without complications, and when the day's work is ended the toil of effort in itself insures slumber. We are re­ ferring, of course, to the toil of the laborer who has work and is free from care. In our land honest labor is almost always secure of subsistence; the ut­ most privation that is needed is in the self-denial of more or less of the luxu­ ries of life. As the laborer sees men reveling in their luxuries he is apt to repine as to what fortune has denied himself. He forgets the compensation possessed in sound health and clear conscience. Here is the most substan­ tial basis of all for happiness, and next to it comes the cultivation of a spirit that asks only for such luxuries as are reasonably within reach. This might be easily learned as a lesson of what we have seen within the week--not alone that wealth fails to bring happiness but that the apparent possession of wealth is often delusive. Riches are only relative to human needs. Micawber's humorous estimate of them is sound, and good sense. Here was a man in the receipt of sala­ ries that aggregated many thousands of dollars, and with opportunities that seemed to (the superficial eye greatly beyond this; yet, with it all, he was poorer than the poorest. He had no money through years of his life that he could call his own. He lived like the man in the familiar tale, imprisoned in a dungeon, who saw the walls daily closing around him, and faced with each uprising an inevitable fate that advanced one step farther. What a satire on happiness was such a life, and how ter­ ribly tragic was the scene when the end at length came--when the last subter­ fuge was exhausted, and there were only enough hours remaining to allow a full contemplation of the character of the close that must come. There has seldom been a more im­ pressive example of how idle is envy; of how little the adventitious circum­ stances of life affect the happiness of men; of how much a man's happiness depends upon what he makes of his own lot in life. If those who see evidences of the favors of fortune showered upon individuals about them are led to think by this and many other events that have preceded it of what may be the reverse side of the picture, it will be likely to induce the reflection that the good fortune of life is not so unequally bestowed after all. "The tools are to those who can use them," and because men have gilded tools put in their hands it by no means follows that they are using them even for that material comfort which thoughtless people con­ ceive to be the most desired of posses­ sions. Hie Tradition of Fan^ . Johann Faustus was born in die lat­ ter part of the fifteenth century in the German town of Rhodes. His parents being poor, he was adopted by a well- to-do uncle, who had no children. The young man, at the instant of his rela­ tive, was educated in divinity in the University of Wittenburg and made a doctor of theology. Disliking, how­ ever, theological studies, Faust devoted himself to medicine and therewith to magic, and at last necromancy and con­ juring occupying all his thoughts day and night, he acquired the power of calling up spirits. Impatient at the boundaries of knowledge, he conceived the idea of calling the devil to his aid. One evening, therefore, being at a cross-roads near the town, he tried his spell, to which Mephistopheles an­ swered amidst a most terrific storm, the devil running around a circle Faust had drawn with a willow wand, as if a thou­ sand wagons had been driving over paving-stones. The next day he en­ tered into a compact with this satanic minion (for he was not the satanic majesty himself.) The terms of the pact on the devil's part were to serve him absolutely in everything he might desire, and on Faustus' part to deny God, never to enter a church, to hate mankind, never to marry, and at the end of twenty-four years of gratified desire to give himself body and soul to the Prince of Darkness. The compact was written in his own blood. As Faust pricked his hand the flowing blood formed itself into the words homo fuge, but so entranced was he with the idea of knowing that all devils know and having all his wishes fulfilled that he paid no heed to the miraculous warning. The devil was to go about with him invisibly, or, when he took a form, it was agreed that it should be that of a friar, with a bell in his hand. --Chicago Times. Tonthful Sagacity.

Of all these years of Abraham Lin­ coln's childhood we know almost noth­ ing. He lived a solitary life in the woods, returning from his lonesome little games to his cheerless home. He never talked of these dayB to his inti­ mate friends. Once, when asked what he remembered about the war with Great Britain, he replied: "Nothing but this. I had been fishing one day and caught a little fish which I was taking home. I met a soldier in the road, and having always been told at home that we must be good to the sol* diers, I gave him my fish. This is on­ ly a faint glimpse, but what it shows is rather pleasant--the generous child and the patriotic household.

Why the Nightingale Sings, The Westphalians have a curious ex- planatory myth regardiqg the nightin­ gale. They imagine that the bird's song may be rendered in these syllables of human speech: Is tit, is tit, is tit, to wit, to wit--Trizy, Trizy, Trizy, to bucht, to bucht, to budlit. But the last syllables are the usual shepherd's cry to his dog when he wishes the sheep collected. Therefore Trizy must be the name of the dog to whom the cry to bucht is addressed. Therefore the nightingale must have been a she herdess, whom a shepherd cursed be­ cause she always postponed the mar­ riage she had promised.' He uttered the wish that she might not sleep till the day of judgment. Nor does she, for may not her voice still be heard at night as she cries to bucht, to bucht, to bucht to*her good dog Trizy V The same people give a stiange explanation of the face of the shard, or flounder, which is all awry, with its eyes on one side of its face inatead of being straight, like the eyes of most other fish.
