SENATOR SCHURZ declares in a long article
in his paper-the st. Louis Westliche Post
that Bismarck is by no means the greatest
statesman of the time, and in fact that he is
small beer politician, about on Gen. Grants
level. This must be very painful to the Ger
man Premier, who has been brought under
this distinguished disapprobation by speaking
contemptuously of Mr.. Schurz's effort to ex-
cite unpleasant feelings between the United
States and Germany and by calling him
mischief maker. Now that the Missouri
statesman has annihilated the President of
his adopted, and the first statesman of his
native country, he is in condition to indulge
in an Alexandrian flood of tears for want of
more rulers to demolish. He might, to be
sure, emigrate and administer the coup de
grace to Gladstone, Theirs, Gortschakoff, and
so around in turn. Or, perhaps, he can do it
just as effectively from his standpoint in Mis-
souri,. There is one very gratifying result
from this attempt of Senator of the United
States to bring the country of which he is a
citizen-by naturalization-into unpleasant
complications with friendly nation. 1t
demonstrates theexistence of firm and DOS
tive amicable feeling on the part of the Ger
man Empire towards us and proves the impo-
tence for harm of man however exalted in.

those of Catilne, to aggrandize himself even

Meat Extracts Not Nutritious.

Theincreasing skepticism of physiolo-
gists in regard to the nutritive value Of
the various meat extracts, so much adj
vertised at the present day, has been
rather fortified by the publication OF an
elaborate paper of Muller, of Paris,
upon the subject of the physiological
character of most extracts in general.
In this, starting out with the PROPOSE.
ton, first, that meat extracts do not
have any nutritive value, and second.
that they sometimes have certain
action which is to be attributed only to
their mineral principles, and especially
to the salts of potash, he proceeds to
examine the various preparations,
whether bouilons or extracts, AID then
inquiries into the action of the nitro
genous principles contained in these
preparations, and finally devotes a third
part to discussion of the action of the
potash salts.

American versus English Magazines.

The New York World says that no
constant reader of the magazines print
ed in the English tongue can have
failed to have noticed the marked diff
ference between those published in
England and those which appear here.
The English have been longer in the
business than we, and there can be no
question that they have more thor
oughly gagged than have cur publishers.
While we are sorry for it, the fact is our
magazines are too literary for our peo-
pie. Many of them appear to be con.
structed more to suit the tastes of the
editor than to supply the wants of the
reader. Editors may fondly felicitate
themselves on the work of educating
the average American mind up to the
proper standard, but in reality such a
thing rarely takes place. The reader
simply throws down the magazine when
the articles are above him he does not
attempt to understand them as the
education theory would lead one to
suppose. The great majority of read.
ers will never be of a literary turn, no
matter how high may be the culture of
the few, and the English are perfectly
correct in supplying wholesome fiction
for their readers when they woul not
read literary acquisitions. 1t is curious
to note that even the religious month
lies, such as the Sunday Magazine, print
serials. HacmiIIaa's Magazine, 7insleys
London Society, Temple Bar, Beigravia,
C0rnhiU, 81. Paul, All The Year Round
Once Week, are made more or less oil
fctions. The illustrations in all Of
these magazines are excellent, appeal
ing to the eye as the text does on the
intellect and heart. Our magazine
management ought to profit by careful
study of their English rivals. If oui
| publishers and editors so will, they car
make the American magazine as inter
esting TO our readers as the English il
to its readers, though the contents o
the home monthly will not be as GOO
Judged by high standard Of crit
cism-as the foreign. A good begin
ming has already been made in Harper
and .Scribaer'S, and this tone has but T.

Lost BallOOniSt.

So many balloons came out of Paris
during the siege that those who re-
ceived their letters by this means began
at last to look upon the aeronaut as a
very safe courier, and on his aerial trip
as one of pleasure rather than of peril.
Among the balloons which escaped over
the iron girdle of Teutons was the
Jacquart. 1t was intrusted to the care
of sailor named Leprince. Tearing
through space before gale of wind, the
gallant young tar and his new kind of
craft were sighted at La Rochelle, just
as the wind bore him over the Atlantic.
On the way he must have met with an
atmospheric current which drove him
eastward, for there have not been found
in the Scilly islands the dispatches car.
ried by the Jacquart. AS the sacks
have not been picked up in one and the
same place, it is supposed that when
Leprince saw the group of islands he
gradually got rid of his dispatches,
casting them overheard whenever he
saw land beneath him. This must, of
course, have considerably lightened the
balloon, and contaminated his own de-
struction by imparting to it an ascend
ing force which waited him once more
over the terrible ocean.

Funny Mistake Of a Funny Man.

One of the best dressed and most
brilliant young men in Chicago, who
parts his hair in the middle, essayed to
delight select party of ladies and gen.
tlemen last evening by few flashes of
wit. The most noticeable scintillation
of his wit was conundrum +" Haw-",
said he, "Aw-when is lady not a
lady ?" Nobody could tell, and the
propounder of the conundrum gave the
answer. "When she's little buggy"
he said. A dead silence fell on the
company, and the funny man was the
focus of many singular glances. lie
soon became conscious that some one
had blundered." So he dived into
vest pocket, brought out a newspaper
scrap, read it attentively three or tour
times, and then frightened up. "haw
yes" he said, "of course--haw-yes'
of course-haw-when she's a htsie
srKy. Knew it was some kind OF a
wagon. - Chicago Times.

MeteOrites from the Sun.

The theory of solar origin for me-
teorites, how ever strange and startling
it may appear to be, has now many adj
vocates among leading scientific men,
and much evidence in its favor has
been supplied by the recent solar re-
searches of such eminent astronomers
as Lockyer, Proctor, Secchi, Young, and
others. Their opinion is, in brief, that
the solar prominences result from the
shooting forth of certain liquid or solid
masses or streams of matter, and that
meteoric masses, or at least some Of the
meteorites, may have originated in this
manner, being propelled from beneath
the surface of the sun.
In a communication to the Royal As
Economical Society, Mr.. Runyard, dis
cussing the nature and origin of the
upheaval Of eruption prominences,
states as his conclusion that the OBJ
served phenomena, and all other con-
siderations, 60 far to render it probable
that neteors are formed from the me-
tallic vapors hurled from the sun or
other stars, or that solid masses may be
so hurled, in eruption prominences.
Another astronomer also remarks Of
this theory, that, offering as it does q
possible account of the genesis of
prominences and meteorites, it appears
also to contain the germ of another
hypothesis, which he develops, respect
ing the cause or the connection between
solar eruption and terrestrial magnetism,
one Of the most interesting scientific
questions of the day.

False Hair.

Heavens Let all ladies who wear
deceitful locks read what the British
MEDICAL Journal tells US about false hair
There is a M. Lindeman who has given
his mind to this subject, and who an
nounces that every hair in a false plat
ends with ga nodosity;" each nodosity
contains fifty psorosperms :" and each
psorosperm throws off minute spheres
which become "pseudo-navicell@."
But this is by no means the end of a
bad matter. The pseudo navicell@ in
ballroom containing fifty ladies, all
with the spurious tendrils, amount to
100000 which, when inhaled, make
their way into the circulation and bring
on cardiac affections This is too bad |;
but then doesn't real hair sometimes
produce cardiac affections ?-Neso York

Mr.. j. w DeForest has an article in
Old and Neo for October, which gives
the Scriptural history of the deluge q
new Interpretation. He tells the stories
of AID and OF Thamud, as the best
modern research has established them,
shows how, by the picturesque Semitic
Imagination fscontemporary narrators,
the conquest of the Thamud by Cedar
el Abmar, and the destruction Of AID
by the Joktanites, was changed into the
ravages of a hurricane; and the oxpul-
sion OF Canaan from its prosperous seats
on the Persian Gulf put on the guIse Of
an earthquake. Then he inquiries why
the same method of Interpretation
which has been applied to the Noachian
deluge, thus reconciling the Scriptures
with geology and reason. He believes
that the deluge typifies an invasion of
the Turanians, who descended In such
force upon the Cainites and Sethites
that no refuge availed; the loftiest
mountain strongholds were stormed;
the disaster was universal. He then
goes on to say that only single people
under the name of Noah prepared for
it, and being better than the neighbor-
ing peoples, had juster laws, purer
manners and q nobler religion. 1t thus
deserved preservation, and so won it.
By the drying up of the waters the
writer thinks Is represented that either
the invading Turanians retired to their
northern steppes or cryStalized into
settled communities. This theory of
the deluge transforms it from a cosmical
CONFUSION to political revolution
from miracle into a natural incident
in the life of humanity.

GRANT NOT A STATESMAN.

1t is quite common for the coalition party to
say that Grant knows nothing about civil
affairs, but Greeley is great statesman.
and all inveterate office-seeker. Year after
year his name has been associated with vacant
Offices in New York, and twice, believe, he
has been elected Once he was a Representa-
tive in Congress, and for some reason left
very much ridculed by his associates. He
was also once a member of a Constitutional
Convention, and, because things didn't go
there to suit him, abandoned his seat like
a petulant schoolboy and returned home.
You are familiar with his advocacy of seces-
sion at the beginning of the war: then with
his -" On to Richmond" mode or it's proSecu-
ton then With his ridiculous negotiations for
peace, and with other shifting and vaciliating
views which he urged during that eventful
struggle. Are these to be taken as an evidence
Of his craftsmanship. j think / only affirm
what is well known to the country when 1 say
that Mr.. Greeley is an irascible, whimsical,
erratic and credulous man, sadly devoid Of that
strength Of will, infexbility of purpose and
firmness Of character which are necessary to
make good and successful Chief Magi- trate.
/ am not here TO praise President Grant.
Some sensitive reformer might say that 1t
would not be in good taste. History, however,
has placed his fame beyond the reach of party
venom or personal malice. You know what
services he has rendered to the country. Con-
siderable effort is now made to deprecate his
eervices on the ground that his success Is not
due to his ability, but to his good luck. Let
those who are pleased with this assertion make
