Edward Everett's Reward of a Col
Ored Caterer.

A Boston letter writer tells the follow
ing pleasant story Of Edward Everett
and Joshua B. Smith, the well known
Boston caterer:
When Mr.. Smith had been engaged to
provide the city banquet on the occasion
of the Prince of Wales visit, Mr.. Ever
ett went to him and said he was particu-
larly desirous that everything should be
arranged as skillfully and elegantly as
possible. II know" said he, "that the
materials of the entertainment will be all
that could be desired, but | want the
manner, the arrangement, the decora-
tions, most carefully attended to. Do,
for this occasion, something better than
you have ever done before" Mr.. Smith
said he would give his mind toit. When
all was ready he invited Mr.. Everett to
inspect the arrangements. They twice
walked around the hall together, care
fully scrutinizing everything, but with
out word being said, At last, having
viewed the whole, Mr.. Everett said :
"Mr. Smith, have seen entertainments
IN every capital in Europe; but have
never seen one displaying more taste and
good judgment than this" The prince,
when the time came, expressed to his
friends his sense of the good arrange
ments of the occasion and subsequent
. ly, after the city had paid Mr.. Smiths
bill, Mr.. Everett handed him an envel-
ope containing $1,000, in token of the
satisfaction of the management and sue
cess of the entertainment.

mour. [Applause.] Let southern reb-
els shout thy praise; let the burners of
orphan asylums, and the deserter and
the skulker from the draft, twine laurels
for thy brows; we will stand by the old
flag, all battle-scarred, but glorious in
victory, while we follow the great cap
tain of our armies, our own Ulysses
Grant. [Applause.] AT the battle of
Lookout Mountain, as, following the line
of fire, our surgeons climbed up the hilly
steep, they met four soldiers coming
down and carrying in blanket shape
less mass. Laying their burden tenderly
down, they asked the doctor to look at
their wounded color sergeant. His shoul-
der and forearm had been torn away by
shell. The surgeon knelt, and putting
the hair back from his manly brow, ask
ed, My brave fellow where were you hit?'
His eyes unclosed for a moment, as he
family answered, Almost to the top
No, no, my good man, whereabouts are
you wounded?' Again his dying eyes
opened, again his pale lips moved, as he
whispered, | was almost at the top, sir,
bearing the flag, when the shell struck
me. One moment more and should
have been clear up He gave one gasp
and his brave spirit was gone forever.
And so, dear friends, is it with us to-day,
We are almost to the top. In faith and
love we have carried the dear old flag fol
four long years of struggle until now VIC
are above the clouds, fighting up in the
clear sunlight of absolute justice and
right. [Applause.] Only once more
press up the mountain slope, and we shall
plant our dear old flag clear up on the
mountain top of final victory for liber
ty and the rights of man. Loud anC
continued applause

tionary doctrine of public necessity can
be proclaimed by mob as well as by a
government"
And within eight days from that time
the most disgraceful mob that mars the
good name of our nation was raging in
the very metropolis of the state of which
he was governor, vindicating his words,
taking the ground that they had as good
a right to proclaim the law Of necessity
by which they might take life and des-
troy property as the government Of the
United States. He was the representa-
tive of the idea of mob violence. Every
line of that speech contains suggestion
to disobey the law. The mob came, and
you say he helped TO put it down. say
he ought not to have advised his friends
to enter into it.

fights. Outof these. 27 ,4l6 were surrcn-
dered and paroled at Appomatox Court
House, and 1909 captured in battle,
beside about 5000 more in the assault ON
Fort Sedgwick. At least 10000 men
were killed and wounded, and 10000
more deserted on the road from Rich
mond to Appomatox. These two last
numbers, however, cannot be verified, as
no report was ever made of the final
movements by Lee.
Thus it will be seen that Grant began
the campaign with 9S,019 effective men,
and Lee with 72,27S, and that conse-
quently Lee, having all the advantages
of position, breastworks, friendly coun-
try, and short and constantly shorten
ing line of supplies in his favor, was vir-
tually the stronger of the two. The
losses during the Wilderness campaign
were about equal, not more than 10000
on each side. And finally, when Lee
reached Petersburg, he had more men
than were with him at the beginning OF
the campaign, showing that he had been
heavily re-enforced. 1t seems to us this
settles the question of Grants general
ship.-N. Y Tribune.

usually slipped little wine with his food.
Dickens is high liver, and suffers for it
accordingly not only in red face, but in
terrible twinges of the gout, which tug at
his toes. Philip of Spain, the father of
Don Carlos, was a glutton as we'll as his
son, the latter of whom died from the ef-
fects of his indiscretions. A long and
curious chapter might be given on the
dietary habits of eminent individuals, but
when the whole field has been surveyed,
it will always be found that those who
were moderate and temperate enjoyed life
the best, and were able to accomplish as
mach hard labor as those who resorted
to stimulants and gross food.

Living by Rule.

Living by rule as if Medo-Persian
Law, inAexible, is very unwise, especially
if person is in reasonable health. We
have given great multitude of counsels
on the subject of health and disease, and
in connection with the statement that we
have not lost an hour from our office on
account Of sickness in a quarter of a CEN
tury and more, many have inquired with
a good deal of interest, "Do you live up
to the rules you give others" Certainly
not; man is not a machine that must be
turned in a certain direction or it will be
destroyed; nor like locomotive which
must run on one fixed track, or not run
at all. The Architect of all worlds made
us for acting under great variety of cir
cumstances, and in infinite wisdom and
benevolence has given to man a mechan-
ism of wonderful adaptability by which
he can live healthfully on land or sea; in
the valley or on the mountain top; in the
tropics or at the pole; on the barren rock
or in the rich savannas.
Our modes of life must be adapted to
our age, our occupation and the peculiar
tiles of our constitution. There are cer-
tain general principles which are applica-
BILE to all. Every man should be regular
in his habits of eating, should have all
the sound sleep which nature will take I;
should be in the open air an hour or two
every day, when practicable, and should
have pleasurable and an encouragingly
remunerative occupation, which keeps
him little pushed, and they are happiest
who are in this last category; at the same
time, if man accustoms himself to go to
bed at nine o'clock, he need not break his
neck, or get into stew, if circumstances
occur to keep him up an hour or two Ia
ter, now and then; and SO with eating,
exercise, and many other things. No
one ought to make himself galley slave
to any observance; occasional deviations
from all habits are actually beneficial
they impart pliability to the constitu'
ton, give it greater range of healthful
action Don't go into a fit if dinner isn't
ready at the instant. Deliver us from a
. machine man, a routinist, "for which We
ever pray."-HaPs Journal Of Health.

THE ART OF EATING.-From the days
of Seneca to those of Horace Greeley,
Dio Lewis and DIR. Trail, mems stomachs
have been their greatest enemies, and
they have resorted to all sorts of devices
to control them Intelligent men are now
pretty we'll convinced that most Of man
kind suffers from II perverted appetite
and that it is both body and soul destroy
ing to pamper the appetite and tickle the
palate. Seneca discovered the same truth
when engaged in his studies, and decided
to give up the use Of meat, since it prov
ed to be too stimulating and gross food
for man engaged in excessive mental
labor. 1t is well known that Horace
Greeley is plain liver, his dinners fre,

mush, which possibly costs fifteen cent;

The Valley of Death.

In Kinglake's new volume on the Cri-
mean war is graphic and minute de-
scription of the charge of the six hun
dred at Balaklava. He thus describes
the ride, and Cardigan's appearance:
The pace for sometime was firmly gov
erned. When hofsemen, too valorous to
be thinking of fight, are brought into
straits of this kind, their tendency to be
galloping steadily forward, each man at
the greatest pace he can exact from his
own charger, thus destroying, of course,
the formation of the line; but Lord Car
digan's love of strict uniform order was
a propensity having all the force of pas
sion, and as long as 1t seemed possible to
exert authority by voice or gesture, the
leader of the singular onset was firm in
repressing the fault.
Thus when Captain White of the Sew
enth Lancers, (who commanded the
squadron of direction), became "anx-
ious," as he frankly expressed it to get
out of such a murderous fire, and into
the guns, as being the best of the two
evils" and endeavoring, with that view,
to " force the pace" pressed forward so
much as to be almost alongside of the
chief bride arm, Lord Cardigan checked
his impatience by laying his sword across
the captains breast, telling him at the
same time not to be riding before the
leader of the brigade. Otherwise than
for this, Lord Cardigan, from the first to
the last Of the onset, did not speak or
make signs.
Riding straight and erect, he never
once turned in his saddle with the objec
of getting glance at the state or th'
squadrons which followed him and tC
this rigid abstinence-giving proof, as
such abstinence did, of an unbending re
solve-it was apparently owing that the
brigade never fell into doubt concerning
its true path of duty, never wavered (a'
the best squadrons will, if the leader, fol
even an instant appears to be uncertain
of purpose), and was guiltless of ever
inclining to any default except that o
failing to keep down the pace.
But although he rode singly, and al
though, as we have seen, he rigidly alb
stained from one retrograde glance
Lord Cardigan, of course, might infe

in his saddle) he could easily see of thei
Aanks, that the momentum now gathere'
and gathering was too strong to be mod
Grated by commander; and right
perhaps avoiding the effort to govern
by voice or gesture, he either became in
patient himself, and drew the troops o
more and more by first increasing hi

Democrats sneeringly say that Gen.
Grant does not speak because he cannot
speak. Admitting that he is no orator,
his friends like him all the better for it.
They know that the best Presidents the
Republic ever had could not make
speeches. Neither Washington nor JEFF
ferson, neither jackson nor Taylor, could
make set speech-and all four were not
fond of display. Gen. Grant is not more
reticent than Gen. Washington remained
throughout his great career; and Gen.
jackson was as little of speaker as
Washington, though he had served in
both branches of Congress.
