It is reported from Zurich that the Federal Government has forbidden all officers in the Swiss service to appear on German soil in uniform.

Herrmann Zeitung, who makes his living by traveling in trunks and then exhibiting himself in variety shows on the Continent, made his last trip from Antwerp to Chris- . tiana in a wooden box, which stood on the ship’s deck four days and four nights with- out anybody’s knowing that it contained a man.

Bottch of the Nineteenth Artillery Regiment of the Italian army made a wager recently that he could ride 150 miles in twenty-four hours without leaving the sad- dle except to change horses. He mounted at 11:45 on Saturday evening and at 11:50 on the following evening had covered 170 miles. On Monday morning he was at drill as usual. He changed horses five times dur- ing his ride and lost thereby thirty min- utes. During twenty-one hours he rode at order to encourage religious feelin in the army. He finds that Austrian sol iers do not attend divine service according to the regulations. Inasmuch as the encourage- ment of religious feeling regarded as of great service to the military, the army must licuceforh go to church an least once a. month ; likewise, the young officers in com- mand at church must conduct themselves in a more reverential spirit than has been ob- served lately.

Richmond newspaper that “ Many hundred young ladies are employed in the various factories of Richmond, and the number is daily growing." Many Northern people still hold firmly to the belief that the woman who works for her living in the South is looked down upon and slighted, and that working girls and women are at a greet social disadvantage there. That may have been the case at one time, but it is not so now. The item notes the refusal of a license to a barroom in the neighborhood of one of the factories where the women are employ- ed, for the reason that the city was deter- mined to see that the environments of the women were “ such as they have a right to expect.” Another interesting item is that statistics show that the South now has 1,200,000 more spindles than it had eleven years ago. _______.â€"__-â€" THE BAETB'S MOTION. It is Alleged that the Poles In Moving Describe Circles. One of the most curious inquiries of a scientific nature now under way is the in- vestigation of the fixity of the earth’s axis of rotation. It appears from various astron- omical observations that the latitudes of cer- tain observatories in Europe and the United States are slowly changing. The changes are exceedingly slight, so that only the most delicate measurements can reveal them ; but in many branches of science it is the small things that count most, since they give the investigator his closest acquaint- ance with the operations of nature. Yet, although the variations of latitude that seem to have been detected are very smallâ€"amounting, for instance, in the case of the observatory of Pulkowa, in Rus- sia, to a motion away from the North Pole of six inches in a yearâ€"very interesting deductions may be drawn from them. Mr. G. C. Comstock has suggested, in a careful discussion of the subject, that the change in the position of the poles, which is indi- cated by the variations in question, might possibly be the result of a slight motion still remaining over from a great shifting of the earth’s axis in long past time, by which the North Pole was brought from the center of Greenland to its present posi- tion. The idea that the North Pole may once have been in Greenland,arises from thefact that Greenland was the center of the'area which was covered with ice during the glaci- al epoch. Such a shifting of the pole would, then, serve to explain the disappearance of the ice sheet that once covered North émirica as far south as the latitude of New or . Mr. S. C. Chandler, after studying the results of the observations that have been made as to variations of latitude, has de- duced the conclusion that all the changes can be accounted for by supposing that theNorth Pole revolves in a circle sixty feet in diamet- er, once in eVery four hundred and twenty- seven days. To many persons such inquiries may not appear to be of much practical importance, but is it not worth while to learn every- thing we can about this great ship of space which is hearing us on a wonderful voyage through the ocean of infinity, and every peculiarity of whose motion has some re- lation to the forces that control the appar- ently endless journey '2 HOW THE SULTAN BATS. llc llliiiscll' Lives Sinipr but Feeds Luv- lslily Six Thousand Persons. The author of “ The Sovereigns and Courts of Europe” describes the presmit Sultan of Turkey as leadingavery simplelife. He came to the throne in 1876, without any agency of his own, and almost against his own will, after living for many years in re- tirement, and no doubt finds his trappings of royalty something of a burden. When it is said that he lives simply, how- ever, the word must be understood as ap- plying to his personal habits rather than to his official surroundings and expenditures. Thus it is estimated that more than 6000 ersons are fed every day at his Dolma iagtche palace when he is there. The treas- urer of the household has a pretty heavy burden upon his shoulders. There is a regularly organized force of buyers, each charged with the purchase of certain supplies for the palace. One man’s duty is to buy fish ; and to do this for 0000 persons is no light undertaking in a city which has no great markets. About ten tons a wcek are required, and to secure this some twenty men are kept busy. That thereis enormous waste and extrava- gance in the kitchens is almost a matter of course: it is said that enough is thrown away daily to feed a hundred families. llut such waste is not confined to a Turkish royal household, and might be found in kitchens nearer home. The surplus is gathered up bythe beggars,with whom Con- stantino le abounds, and what still remains is eaten y the scavenger dogs. HEALTH. Natural Appetites- It is reasonable to infer that the wild beasts have natural appetites, controlled by the orders given by their instincts, such as were given them by their creator, not in- fluenced by false ideas or by depraved, abnormal impulses. They are supposed to die only by accident or old age, never hav- ing the diseases incident to human beings, unless these are contraccd by some form of abuses connected with human society. On the contrary, it is supposable that there are few, if any, in so called civilized society, who really have normal appetites, such as Adam and Eve were blessed with, till they fell from their high position. It is more than probable that water is as certainly the natural drink of man as of the beasts, and that a higher degree of health would be obtained by its own use. This may reasonably be inferred from the fact that the human body is so largely composed of water, not a practicle of tea, coffee, opium or alcohol being found naturally in its struc- ture. But alcohol, that enemy of good society, that source of world of misery , that bold deceiver, misleading millions on mil- lions of human beings, making them in- human, that cheat, stealing away immense fortunes and the happiness of vast num- bers, so corrupts the natural appetite as to introduce many, many foes of the human structure, doing more harm than war, en- slaving more mortals than any of the brutal oppressors of the world. This Vile oppres- sor brings to his aid, as a natural ally, tobacco, doing far more harm, if possible so far as the health of the present genera- tion is concerned, and transmitting still more disease to succeeding generations. The two cost this nation alone, yearly, about $1,400,000,000, or about what would be ne- cessary to cancel our notional debt? What do we receive in return for such a vast ex- penditure of the treasures earned by the laboring classes mainly? Not anything of real value ! Instead, we have poverty, dis- grace, crime, domestic misery, loss of health loss of self-respect, ignorance, since drunk- enness. tends to close our churches and school houses giving us nothing in return. With men’s superior reasoning powers, it would be reasonable to infer that it is pos- sible for him to have normal appetites at least equal to those of the supposed lower orders of creation, in which case his health should be equal to that of these brutes. Under these circumstances, plain and sime. ple food would be preferred, though it might not be necessary to adopt a diet as narrow in range as that of brutes, most of them liv: ing on some two or three‘distinct classes of foods, like the elephant, etc. , representing the most robust of animals, with wonder- ful endurance. In the natural condition of man, as he came from the hands of the creator, it is probable that the appetite was a perfect guide, deciding just when food was needed, how much, what kind, the amount depending on the per cent of nutri- ment contained, never admitting of a mis- take which is more or less true of the lower orders of creation, among which no drunk- ards no dyspeptics are found. Under such circumstances, it is manifest that there was a perfect control of the health, while we may reasonably infer that we nowâ€"in our fallen state-have as much control as we have in other affairs of busy life. What a paradise we might have and should have, if all of the God-given laws of our mysteri- ous being were strictly obeyed, the whisky and tobacco habits destroyed, wars at an end, also free from pain and suffering that they might be able to labor constantly, adding to the wealth of the worldâ€"all moving onward and upward steadily ! As ageneral principle, there is no occa- sion for abject poverty in a country like ours, in which all the necessaries of life are abundant and cheap, within the reach of the average industrious and economical individuals. Most of our poverty is caus- ed by intemprance in some form. prodigal- ity and recklessness, Without due economy in the use of money. There is more than enough money spent in purchasing intoxi’ I cauts and tobaccoâ€"worse than thrownl awayâ€"to feed and clothe all of the poor, those not made so by intempcrcncc, giving alla house at; least equiiling that of the, average citizen, and then have enough left to support our schools and churches? And what do the deluded intemperate persons get in return for their money? Poverty, misery, degradation, broken constitution. with no possible good.-â€"[An American M. O.

STORIES OP TEE DIAMOND MINES. A lucky lulu Who Got 875.009 tor Restor- hixa Lost Gen. Mr. Geo. D. liongstreet, an En lish min- ing engineer, says of the diamon fields of South Africa :â€"“ The control of the dia- ' mond mines by the Rothschilds is entirely due to the overcapitalizat-ion of the ori inal companies. Some of them were capati ized as high as $25,000,000. There are now lim- iting the production of gems to the demand. Diamonds will never go down in price, and the days of romance in South Africa dia- mond mining are past forever, In early days the mines were divided into little al- lotments of thirty feet square, and each of these was sold to a corporation for $500,000 â€"a neat sum for a little land scarcely large enough to pnta shanty on. I have been working for one company and in one mine as‘many as 10,000 naked Zulus, whose work oddly enough, was carried on by electric light within a year after it was invented. In those days our chief difficulty was to prevent the thefts of the workmen. \Ve had an overseer for every five men. and yet the beggars managed to steal lar 6 numbers of diamonds. These Zulus are orn thieves. All the tales of Ilidder Haggard, whom I knew in South Africa, I have heard often from the lips of Zulus. “ The mines are four in number, the Kim- berley mine proper being but one of them. It is 700 feet deep, and 10,000 men at work in it look like more pigmies. It was orig- inally all one hill formed by some gigantic volcanic action from below. Long before the chimney was dug a few diamonds were washed from this bill into the streams where they were discovered. At Kimberley the diamonds were embedded in a strange, hard mud, which had to be blasted with dynamite before it could be brought up. It had time to remain a year before the prec- ious stones could be secured. We could not use crushing machines, for they would crush the diamonds. “ The most beautiful diamond by far that I have ever seen was the one found at Kimberley by a little American named Por- ter Rhodes. I paid £5 just to look at it. The sight was a liberal eduction for a dis.- mond expert. He afterward sold it to the Countess of Dudley for $500,000. It was lost once before it left Africa, and Rhodes presented the Zulu who returned it with a reward of $75,000. England and the United States. Alfred Austin, the English poet, utters some frank and generous words concerniu the proposition to erect a Lowell meinoria in Westminster Abby. “I cannot under- stand,” he says, “ any one objecting to its gates being opened to an American on whom , had he been an Englishman, they would not have been closed. ” England and the United States are drawn toward each other by the triple link of blood, language,and literatureâ€"the strongest bond imaginable. Does any Englishman feel that he is in the society of a foreigner when he is conversing or travelling with an American ? We are just as much members of one family as are married brothers or sisters, though they no longer live under one roof. Ameri- cans visit us whenever they can do so ; de- lighting us by the unaffected simplicity of their manners, the chcei'fulness of their disposition, the inquiring alertness of their minds, and their readiness to make them- selves agreeable to evcrbody and on every occasion. With what hearty hospitality they entertain Englishmen who cross the Atlantic, every traveller who re~ turns from visiting them is eager to re- cord. The pilgrimages they make to every I spot in the British Isles associated with the birth, death, or intellectual activity of de- . parted men of genius, are inspired, in great I measure, by the feeling that they are ren- ! dering homage to their own ancestors, and, moreover, are thereby acquiring, most just- i ly and worthily, credit and honor for them- , selves. To this motive must be added that 5 democratic sentiment which with them is a ;native instinct, while with us, it is as yet I hardly more than arcluctant political affec- ! tation, and which urges men who have it to ' pay honor where honor is really due. If, then, America be willing that the more eminent of her children should be honored after death as though they had been Eng- lishmen, surely we ought to rejoice over this fresh evidence of their sense of kinship with us. To foster this feeling, as Mr. Leslie Stephen and those who agree with him are manifestly trying to do, is the duty, and I should think must be the delight, of every American and every Englishman who values the dignity and desires the well-be ing of his race.” OF A STATISTIOAL TURN.

Part of the dialogue has offended some woman in Vienna and the Emperor suppressed it. Dean Liddell, who was for more than thirty years chancellor of the University of Oxford and dean of Christ’s Church, has just left Oxford. \Vhen the Prince of Wales was an undergraduate his name was on the books of Christ’s Church College, and Dr. Liddell found the task of being the re- sponsible guardian of the future king by no means an easy one. He, however managed things so cleverly that whereas he was at every moment- being compelled to close his eyes to shortcomings of the Prince, no one suspected that. there was any special indul- gence accorded on account of the rank of the royal graduate. On one occasion the youth gave an extraordinary rendering to one of the phrases in Sophocles. “ W here did you get that from i” asked the Dean. “Oh, Liddell and Scott” was the answer. “ Then,” said the Dean. “ I am sure it must have been Dr. Scott, and not I.” The English Bishop of Zululand, inas- much as the British have taken from the Zulus the regulating influence of their own government, makes the following earnest appeal to extend the influence of his Church; “I know that many missions both at home and abroad, have special claim upon English people, but I doubt if any people have a greater claim upon Englishmen at the pre- sent time than thc people in Zululand. Ten years ago England conquered this country and took away from its people the discip- line which madc them in many ways the finest of all the South African races. It was. undoubtedly a cruel discipline, and yet the discipline had its good side, and there is nothing now in its place. Surely the very least that England can do is to show them ‘ a more excellent way,’ and this is what the Church Mission to Zululand is trying to do )7 The statue of Marshal Ney, erected in Paris on the spot where he was executed, is about to be removed. The proposed new railroad through the Latin Quarter will pass over the ground where the Marshal fell,and the statue will be taken away. Some of the Paris newspapers are indignant, and some interesting little pieces of history are coming to light. Among others there is the following report of a secret agent of the Government, which was found among the national archivns ; “ When he fell the offi- cers cried out “ Vivc le roi 1” but the work ing people, who composed the greater por- - tion of the crowd, remained silent.
