•F'fVBLH' XKR.' ntRMCT POOMC Marcy.wben Secretary of State, used to Ivn some dipknttts contests with Laid Elgin, then Governor Gen­ eral of Canada, and it was generally a "drawn game." Few men have ever lived who were more persistently ambi­ tions than Lord Elgin, who toiled in the service of the British Foreign Of­ fice, onward and upward, until, aa vice- toy of the East, he died in the prime of life on a steep hillside in the interior of India. Maroy's career was also ar­ rested by death when his many friends •were hoping to see him the Democratic President of the United States. Presi- ident Cleveland reminds as old stagers of Marcy. Sir Lionel Sackville West derives his title from his having been appointed a Knight of the Bath. Should he, how­ ever, outlive his brother, he will be­ come Lord Sackville. When Lord Beaconsfield created Mortimer Sack­ ville. then a prominent conserative member of the House of Commons, a peer under the title of Lord Sackville, ho had a special act of remainder passed by which his brother Lionel was made heir to the title. After the dethronement of Louis Philippe in '48, the French Bepublic sent here as its minister Major Pous- sin, who had served in our engineer corps. He thought that Mr. Webster, then Secretary of State, was backward in acknowledging the new Government, ahd calling on him one day, usked whether the United States intended to recognize the new republic. "Sir," said Mr. Webster, gazing at Poussin from his cavernous eyes, "the United States have in turn recognized the Bourbons, the Bepublic, the Con­ stitutional Monarchy, and now _ Enough! enough!'*" exclaimed Pous­ sin, as if convinced that if half of these precedents were followed the desired recognition would take place. "And now," Mr. Webster went on to say, "I think we can consider the pro­ priety of acknowledging the Govern­ ment you so ably represent." Gen. Edward F. Beale, known among his friends as "Ned" Beale, has led a most romantic life since his birth in 1822. He is a grandson of that old na­ val hero, Commodore Truxton, of the Constellation, through the Commo­ dore's beautiful daughter, Emily Trux­ ton. He is a son of Paymaster Beale, "United States Navy, and himself en­ tered the navy in 1842 from the Naval Academy. In the military operations in California he distinguished himself, and in 1847 Commodore Stockton de­ tailed him as bearer of official dis­ patches to Washington announcing the conquest of California. This honor was conferred "in consequence of heroic conduct in volunteering to leave Gen. Kearney's camps, surrounded by the enemy, to go to the garrison at San Diego for assistance and relief for the suffering soldiers." His brother officers for this Bervice voted him a sword of honor and epaulettes, and petitioned the Government for his promotion. Having resigned at the end of the war, he served as Superintendent of Indian Affairs in New Mexico and Cali­ fornia, and upon retiring was presented with a service of plate by those under him for his efforts in the "cause of "In­ dian civilization consistent with the spirit of philanthropy and crowned with success." He was made Brigadier Gen­ eral to bring the war in California to a close, which he did. He ran the thirty- fifth parallel from the Mississippi River to the Pacific Ocean for a na­ tional highway, and reported, at the re­ quest of the President and Secretary of War, upon the feasibility of using camels for transcontinental transporta­ tion. President Grant appointed liim Minister to Austria during the last year of his administration. In appearance Gen. Beale is of sllort, sinewy stature, very dark complexion, with a closely-cut mustache and hair al­ most white and also kept short. He has a nervous energy in his actions and movements which indicate the high spirit and gallantry which ho has shown in all the walks of life, whether in the front of the assaulting column moving on the works of the enemy, in the peaceful pursuits of Indian administra­ tion. as pathfinder across the continent, as diplomate at the court of the House of Hapsburg-Horraine or in the man­ agement of his vast landed possessions. Gen. Beale is one of the largest landed proprietors in the United States, His cattle ranch, Tejou, etabraces 250,- 000 acres, eighty miles north of Los Angeles, Cal., upon Which there are 40,000 head of cattle and fine herds of horses. He has a farm of several hun­ dred acres eight miles from Washing­ ton, where he has a stud of blooded stock. Among these is the celebrated royal Arabian horse Leopard, one of the two superb animals selected by Gen. Grant from the imperial stables at Constantinople, at the request of the Sultan of Turkey, and presented to him by his sublime majesty. Gen. Beale also possesses a large estate in Chester. He is very fond of horses, and is one of the best judges of the points of that no­ ble animal in the United States. The equestrian statue of Gen. Bnrn- side, purchased by the State of Rhode Island and by the contributions of her citizens, is said by those who have seen it to be one of the nicest works of art in this country. It is almost colossal in size, and represents "Old Burnie" as Commander-in chief of the Army of the Potomac, seated on a strong and graceful horse, about sixteen hands high, with all its feet planted on the ground. The rider is slightly turned in the sad­ dle, earnestly looking, with reins in the left hand and field-glass in the right, as if watching the moven£»ents of troops in motion. The face is remarkably striking and life-like, preserving the identity of the soldier to a wonderful degree. It was designed and executed by Launt Thompson, and cast by the Henry Bernard Bronze Company of New York. The statue will weigh about 9,000 pounds, and its cost, with that of the pedestal, will be not much short of $40,000. The work reflects great credit upon fhose who have had the management of it, and it will rank as an evidence of advancing American art. It is now to be hoped that the people of Rhode Island will honor the civil associate of Gen. Burnside, Sena­ tor Henry B. Anthony, with a statue. One of the rarest collections of auto­ graphs in this country is in the Depart­ ment of State, where the treaties and other communications from the crowned heads of Europe, sipce the Declaration of Independence, are preserved. When the British burned Washington, these treasures were packed in bags and car­ ried out into the country. They now have a place in the magnificent library of the new Department of State. In addition to the handwriting of the Em­ peror Napoleon, the ill-fated Marie Antoinette, crazy George IIL, Alexan­ der of Russia, and several Oriental sov­ ereigns, are many American state pa­ pers. Prominent among these are the private papers of George Washington, relates fbft capture, trial* and execution at jar Ante*. There is the letter which that brave young man wrote to Geri. Washington the night before, as he says, "I am to swing upon a gibbet," and there is also a letter from the trai­ tor, Benedict Arnold, who informs Gen. Washington that, having the in­ terest of his beloved country at heart, he can no longer serve the American army. With these autographs are many souvenirs of distinguished indi­ viduals, including the war sword of Gen. Jackson, which he broke in a fit of passion, and which was rudely mended by the camp blacksmith. John P. Hale was a most incorrigble wag, and he delighted in making Sena­ tor Foote of Mississippi, who in an un­ guarded moment had threatened to hang him as an abolitionist, a butt for his jokes. One day, after a visit to New York, Senator Foote came smil- iugly in and took his seat at his desk, rather astonishing the other Senators, as his previously bald pate was covered by a fine, curly, black wig. Up rose Mr. Hale, and demanded a special committee to examine the credentials "of the youthful upstart who had as­ sumed Seriator Foote's likeness and. chair." Senator Foote rose up, and bowing politely, convulsed the Senate by quickly removing the wig, and hanging it on his umbrella, with the observation: "Withthis motion on my part, which is quite in order, despite my illustrious colleague's, the commit­ tee is not necessary." There wa# a round of applause. ' Acupuncture. Shampooing, acupuncture, or pierc­ ing of the body with needles, and the burning of moxas on the skin have from thj earliest times formed the sta­ ple of Japanese surgical skill. The b ind and dumb have always been edu­ cated in the first two, and have acquired extraordinary skill as sliampooers in many muscular or intestinal complaints. Tliey are allowed to combine music and money-lending with their main calling, and go about toward evening w ith a low whistle for a street cry. The best of these shampoo^rs know all the su­ perficial muscles, and their services are called in for headache, hysteria, and paralysis. Degrees, toy, were conferred on them, with ceremonial robes and white wands turmounted by wooden bills. The me.lical sshool, es­ tablished A. D. H(59, had a professor of shampooing with ten pupils, and an­ other of acupuncture with twenty. Iu 820 five acupuncturists were attached to the imperial j alace, being paid by the month, and obliged to keep up their knowledge of their own subject CB well as of the pulse, surgery, botany, and prescribing by studying particular books. Acupuncture is not an inven­ tion of the Japanese, the first treatise upon it being attributed to a Chinese uuder the Snug dynasty, although the form of the needles used and the mode of their employment have been much improved upon by them; tubular needles, for instance, were invented in 1(588. It should not be forgotten that Asciepiades, in the first century of our era, recommended needle-puncture for dror sy. The operation consists in driving fine gold, silver, or steel needles from one-half to three-quarters of an inch intr> the flesh. The needles ara of various forms and have spirally- grooved handles for the better twirling of the instrument. The operator holds a needle lightly with the lefc hand, resting the point upon the skin of the pitient. He then inserts it by a slight tap on the handle, given with a small wooden mallet held in the right hand. The needle is then gently pushed and twirled until it penetrates to the propar depth, and after a few seconds is slowly drawn in the same manner, the skin about the puncture being subsequently chafed for a few moments. The num­ ber of perforations made at one time varies from one to twenty, and they are oftenest made in the abdomen, to which, however, they are not confined; special treatises laving down the spots to be pierced in A arious diseases, and one division of study distinguishing on the back the so-called hollow spots (more than a hundred in number)-- "where the end of the nerve-fibers are found"--for the application of the needle or the moxa. A faint effort was made to introduce the Japanese needles into England and France in 1825, bnt although combined with eleotricity, it carno to nothing.--Westminster lie- view. - Kapoleon After Waterloo. Whether any course was open to Na­ poleon after the disaster of Waterloo other than that which he adopted, a second abdication, is certainly very doubtful. Had he taken the precau­ tion to dissolve the Chambers before setting out on the campaign, he proba­ bly could have rallied the nation and protracted the struggle. But the Chambers were unfriendly; any parlia­ mentary body is naturally unfriendly to a military despotism; and at that juncture, nothing less than a military despotism could possibly have saved France from the calamity of the restor­ ation of the Bourbons by foreign bayo­ nets. Hence, unless Napoleon should execute a new coup d'etat, there was nothing for him but abdication. On the 15th of July, 1815, Napoleon surrendered himself on board the British man-of-war Bellerophon. Of his appearance and bodily condition during the two mouths of his stay on this vessel we have an interesting ac­ count in the narrative of Capt. Mait- land, who commanded the ship. Mait- land describes him as "a remarkably strong, well-built man, about five feet seven inches high, his limbs particu­ larly well-formed, with a fine ankle and small foot, of which he seemed rather vain, as he always wore, while on board the ship, silk stockings and shoes. His hands were also very small, and had the plumpness of a woman's rather fhan the robustness of a man's. His eyes, light gray; teeth good; and when he smiled, the expression of his count­ enance was highly pleasing; when un­ der the influence of disappointment, however, it assumed a dark, gloomy cast. His hair was of a very dark brown, nearly approaching black, and, though a little thin on the top and front, had not a gTav hair amongst it. His complexion was a very uncommon one, being of a light, sallow color, differing from almost any other I ever met with. From his having become corpulent, he had lost much of his personal activity, and, if we are to give credit to those who attended him, a very considerable portion of his mental energy was also gone. It is certain his habits were very lethargic while he was on board the Bellerophon; for though he went to bed at 8 or 9 o'clock in the evening, and did not rise till about the same hour in the morning, he frequently fell asleep on the sofa in the cabin in the course of the day. His general appearance was that of a man rather older than he then was."--John (J. Mopes, fartir ner's Magazine.. ; - lie ELECTIOH OF THE FUTURE. A taaiBrwrtfain ©r tlw Day* Fiualc Satoage--'Wh« They Own*. When the right of suffrage is finally given to women and they both vote and hold office, we may expect to hear can­ didates for office sized up in the follow­ ing scathing maimer by women at the polls: "Who are you going to vote for, Bessie ?" "Oh, I really don't know.' Bnt don't you think it's just • perfectly lovely for us to have the right to vote at all?" "Oh, it's too awfully jolly for any­ thing. But, do you know I was just worried to death for fear Madam Fit- tem wouldn't have my dress done in time for election day." "But she did, I see; and it's just lovely. I was worried awfully over my election bonnet, but it came at the last moment or I wouldn't have come near the polls. Are you going to vote for Mamie Berkeley for City Treasurer?" "No, I'm not; we've been 'out' for a long time, and I think she's just hor­ rid." "I think so too; she dresses away be­ yond her means, and there'd be no living in the same town with her if she was City Treasurer. What do you think of Mrs. St. John for Mayor?" "Oh, I think she'd be lovely. She has such a queenly manner and dresses iff such perfect taste; but most of the girls are voting for Howard Percy for Mayor; he's so handsome, you know." "Oh, yes; but then he's so conceited, and such a dreadful flirt He's en­ gaged to half the girls in town just to secure their votes." "The mean, horrid thing!" "What do you think of Mrs.. Banter for Congress ?" "I think she'd better stay at home and look after her children. There's six or seven of them running around here now peddling out her tickets. Do tell me, Janie, are my frizzes all com­ ing out?" «d "No, they look nicely. How are mine?" "Lovely! Your hair does frizz so beautifully. Look at Mr. Meek elec­ tioneering for his wife for Representa­ tive. They say if she's elected she's going t° leave her six-weeks'-old baby at home with him while she goes to the capital for the legislative session." "Think of it! Acd won't she dress, though. I'd vote for Hugh Mandeville, but they say he's engaged to Helen Smythe, and I can't endure her. She's around here some place trying to get the other girls to vote for Hugh." "I call that cheeky. But I sha'n't vote for him. Margie Montague is my candidate. She's going to invite me to Washington if she's elected." "How lovely that will be! I've half a mind to vote for Margie myself. Do vou know, Belle Fielding and Libbie Lavelle have had an awful quarrel over the office of City Councilman ?" "No! How perfectly dreadful!" "Isn't it ? Libbie accused Belle of buying up votes with French bon-bons and boxes of kid gloves; and Belle told right out before everybody that eight of Libbie's upper teeth were false and that her lovely waves are not her own hair." "How mean of Belle! If I was Libbie I'd never foreive her. I in­ tended voting for Belle, but I sha'n't now. I cannot conscientiously vote for a girl who could deliberately give another girl away in that shameful manner. It's a mercy she didn't know all I know about Libbie, or the poor girl might have been mortified clear out of the campaign. I shall scratch Belle."

We rarely find in women that firm tenacity of purpose and determination to overcome obstacles which is charae teristic of what we call a manly mind When a woman is urged to any pro longed or powerful exercise of volition the prompting cause is usually to be found in tiie emotional side of her nature, whereas in man we may gener­ ally observe that the intellectual is alone sufficient to supply that needed motive. Moreover, even in those lesser displays of volitional activity which are required in close reading, or in studious thought, we may note a similar defici­ ency. In other words, women are usually less able to concentrate their attention; their minds are more proiie to what is called "wandering," and we seldom find chat they have specialized their studies or pursuits to the same extent that is usual among men. This comparative weakness of will is further manifested by the frequency among women of what is popularly termed indecision of character. The proverbial fickleness of la donna mobile is due quite as much to vacillation of will as to other unstable qualities of mental constitution. The ready firm­ ness of decision which belongs by nature1 to the truly masculine mind is very rarely to he met with in the feminine; while it is not an unusual thing to find among women indecision of character so habitual and pronounced as to become highly painful to them­ selves--leading to timidity and diffi­ dence in adopting almost any line of conduct where issues of importance, are concerned, and therefore leaving them in the condition, as they graphically ex­ press it, of not knowing their own minds.--Nineteenth Century. A Yelume In a Paragraph. "What is the Object of Life ?" is the question asked by Prof. G. J. Romanes in the Foruni. A flippant paragrapher gives this answer: "One of the chief objects is to live poor and die rich, that those who come after you may live rich £nd die poor." It is an ugly way of putting it, but the paragrapher made his cutting little sentence speak volumes. One reason why Americans break down shortly after middle age is be­ cause they "live poor" in more ways than one. They may enjoy many of the luxuries of life, but their business is largely made up of hurry and worry. It does not pay. Men should enjoy iheir full share of the sweets of exis­ tence as they go along. They are not bound to make themselves miserable on account of posterity. It is a com­ mendable thing for a man to strive to leave a competency to his family, but an ambition to accumulate an immense fortnne for his heirs is a very different matter.--Atlanta Constitution.

Wa had been so successful upon our ooaats, rivers, and lakes, that it was but natural wa should make soma effort to do our part with steam upon the greater field of inter­ national trade. It was impossible that the monopoly which had existed for ten years in the hands of the Cunard Company should not be combated by some one, and with the advent of the Collins line came a strife for su­ premacy, the memories of which are still vivid in the minds of thousands on both sides of the Atlantic. The Cunard Company at this time had increased their fleet by the addi­ tion of the America, Niagara, Europa, and Columbia, all built in 1848. Their machinery did not differ materially from that of the preceding ships, in general design, bnt there had, in the course of practice, come better work­ manship and design of parts, and the boiler pressure had been increased to 13 pounds, bringing the expenditure per horse-power down to 3.8 pounds per hour. In these ships the freight capacity had been nearly doubled, 50 per cent had been added to theft* passenger accommodation, and the com­ pany was altogether pursuing the suc­ cessful career which was due a line which could command $35 a ton for freight from Liverpool to New York-- a reminiscence which must make it ap­ pear the Golden Age to the unfortunate steamship-owner ot to-day, who is now most happy with a seventh of such earnings. The Collins steamers were a new de­ parture in model and arrangement; they were designed by Steers, famous, also, as the designer of the America and Niagara; exceeded in size and speed anything then afloat, and reduced the journey in 1851 and 1852 to about eleven days--though some voyages were made in less than ten days. The Cunard line put afloat the Asia and Africa, as competitors, but they neither e pia'ed the|American steamers in size nor speed. The former were of 3,620 tons dis­ placement, with 1,000 indicated horse­ power. The three other vessels of the Collins line were the Baltic, Atlantic, and i-a- oific. They formed a notable fleet, and fixed for many years to come the type of the American steamship in model and arrangement They were the work of a man of genius, who had the courage to cast aside tradition where it inter­ fered with practical purposes. The bowsprit was dispensed with; the vert­ ical stem, now so general, was adopted, and everything subordinated to the use of the ships as steamships. ' But general disaster was in store for these fine ships.* The Arctic, on Sep­ tember 21, 1-S54, while on her voyage out, was struck by the French steamer, Yesta, in a fog off Cape Race, and but 4(5 out of the 2(58 persons on board were saved. The Pacific left Liverpool on June 23, 1859, and was never heard of after. The Adriatic, a much finer ship than any of her predecessors, was put afloat; but the line was doomed. Extravagance in construction and man­ agement, combined with the losses of two of their ships and a refusal of further aid from the Government, were too much for the line to bear, aud in 185S the end came. Ever since, the European companies, with the excep­ tion of the time during which the line from Philadelphia has been running and the time during which some desul­ tory efforts have been put forth, hava had to compete among themselves.-^ Sx ribner'/i Magazine. The Terrible Florida Hog. Writing of the Florida hog, the P* latka (1- la.) Nt ws says: We have Been his long tusks divide a dog like a sword --we have seen a panther so terribly , wounded that the poor cat crept off in despair to die, while the hog recked not of flowing blood from his own neok and shoulder, but proudly challenged a renewal of the fight At Tocoi lately a hog made it a point to stand on the track whenever he saw the locomotive coming, and the considerate engineer stopped for four successive days to drive him off. At last, tired of human ity which aroused no gratitude, the train hands assembled by invitation bo see the hog demolished, li e was on the track awaiting his doom, and e .tra speed was drawn from fat pine hurled into the furnace with malice prepe se. The hog raised his head in surprise when he saw no stop was made, and, seeing his danger, started at a gallop down the track. In vain the engine rushed forward with maddenin g speed till tile coaches rocked and la­ dies screamed in horr. r--when the train reached l'alatka the hog was leis­ urely eating waste corn at Vertrees* stable. That hog has since been struck by lightning, bo that he is not for sale as a race-horse. On another occasion the writer of this was sleeping in camp and around lay a pack of hounds who had often proved that a'bear at bay brought no terror to their hearts, and who carried scars honorably earned in Btrife with the wildcat and panther. But a num­ ber of these razor-backs came around in the dead of night, and when the dogs attempted to drive them off they charged like warriors true and tried. They swept off the dogs and charged over the hunters -- blankets, guns, cooking utensils, and fishing rods be­ came things of the past, and stout men took refuge in the boats. Then, to save the dogs, revolvers entered into the fray, and finally the fierce grunters moved off in search of pastures new. With the early dawn came a long, lean man, who carried a rifle as long as him­ self, and he assessed the damages, which the hogs should have paid, and carried off the slain, which the victors did not want The Minor Arts. No industry or art can be regarded as trifling when a poor person can make a living by it, or when any num­ ber of people, old or young, find in it amusement, relaxation, or instruction. I have known many families in which the practice of the minor arts was dis­ couraged under a mistaken impression that it caused a waste of time, or in­ duced tastes and habits which dis­ qualified the young from forming "business habits." This is a great mis­ take. All practical arts, however small, induce habits of patience, industry, and self-control, ihey form habits of think­ ing; for, as men have composed books while making shoes, so others cannot help pursuing trains of thought while carving, basket-making, or settin beads. And it is gradually being foun out and recognized that hand-work of any kind, but more especially that which interests us, develops the con?* stractive faculties; that is to say, makes us apt with the fingers, and quicker at perceiving anything, or at inventing or finding out ways and means to make or do anything. From this point of view, even setting beads and in/aying with wire may have .their good effects as moral discipline.---, Wiarle* QL, Le^and, in St XichoM*. r- fradiTtat Oarailuto QtkUr. lite humkb jyitem is a fruitful toil, and among seeds Cat germinate moat rapidly in it are those of rhanmattnn and neuralgia.
