TALL SoLpIERs.-The absurditv of

TALL SoLDIEEs-The absurdity of
the present system Of selecting soldiers
by height, and making regiment CON
slst Of so many feet of human nature
long measure-cannot be too forcibly
condemned. The physical qualifications
Of good soldier do not alone consist in
the length of leg, by which height is
principally made up. These tremen-
dous fellows who "dazzle the eyes and
bewilder the brain" of aspiring house
maids, who look like the evening shad
ows of somebody else, are not always
proportionally endowed with strength.
One of the greatest feats of modern war
fare was accomplished by that troop Of
sturdy mannikins known as the Chas-
seurs de Vincennes. How they swarm
ed like bees up apparently inaccessible
heights, and fought like heroes at the
summit, is a well-remembered incident
in the Crimean campaign. The exer-
else of bravery, the physical working
out of personal courage, requires certain
corporeal endowments which only phi
losophical knowledge can accurately
gauge. Yet this is set aside, and the
soldier is measured by a standard about
as reasonable and inexorable as the bed
employed by Procrustes to insure uni
formity among his guests.

Railroad. from Beaicia to MarysriHe
The Sacramento Union tell the Marys-

to the Bay will not help them much,as it
must run within fifteen miles of Sacra-
meuto, and as matter Of necessity the
main road would be tapped 10y branch

trade would thus be controlled for the

Old and Poor.-George S. Hillard

at was formerly our fortune-not an
enviable one-to administer the insol-
vent law. An old man, who came un-
der our jurisdiction, once said to us: 1T
is hard t" Ie old and poor It was a
simple remark, but the tone and look
gave it pathos and signifcance-and
how sadly, painfully true it is! The
young man can confront Fortune the
stone which she filings at him he can pick
up and set as jewel in his crest; but
the Old man falls under the blow. Re

4 White Nsgro.-Once. and only
once, during my life, (says Waterton,
the well known EAglish traveller in
Guiana,) l have had an opportunity of
examining infinitely an entirely white
negro. In the year 1912, there lived in
the town of Stabrock, the capital Of De
merara, a man of this complexion He
was robust young fcllow-by no means
what they called an Albino, as his eyes
were just of the same color as those of
his tribe. He went by the name of
Buckra Jcm, or White Jenny, and was
a tailor by trade. | found his skin in
all respects the same as my own, saving
that where the sun had given mine the
appearance of mahogany, his was blotch-
ed with broad freckles of light tint.
In other respects he was in reality ne
gro from head to foot He stood appa-
emily about FIVE feet nine inches in
height, with a finely expanded chest,
and back as straight as an arrow. But
he was deficient in the calves of his legs,
while you could not help remarking the
protrusion of his heels, so remarkable in
the negro. Both his father and his
mother were healthy jet black negroes.
He appeared to be about twenty years
old, and was probably the only whit
negro ever seen in Demerara

HENS AND EGGs.-For several wears

latter part of August on the Kennebec
River in Maine. The lady with whom
| have stopped is highly accomplished
and intelligent housewife. She sup
ports a "hennery," and from her |
derived my information in this marter.
She told me that for many years she
had been in the habit of administering
to her hens with their common food, at
the rate of a teaspoonful of cayenne
pepper each alternate day to a dozen
fowls. Last season when | was with
her. each morning she had brought in
from twelve to fourteen eggs, having
but sixteen hens in all. She again and
again experimental in the matter by
omitting to feed with the cayenne for
for two or three days The consequence
Invariably was, that her product of eggs
fell off to five or six per day. The same
effect of using the cayenne is produced
in winter as well as in summer.-B9stoa
