WOlseley ON American Generals.

Major General Sir Garnet Wolseley.
the hero of the Ashantee war, who al

the sable legions of King Koffee, has
been convers1ng with a correspondent
regarding American military chieftains.
During the time of QUIZ civil wal he
visited the United States, and, DESTROYS
of seeing the fight from a Confederate
standpoint, broke through the northern
lines at a deal of personal risk. He
came in contact with many of the nota-
BILE leaders the southern army. Gen.
Lee he regarded as the greatest military
genius since Napoleon Bonaparte. HIS
opinion of Stonewall jackson was one
of unqualified admiration. The cor
respondent says "Wolseley appears
to have thought highly of Mcclellan.
In recognizing the army, says, Wolse-
ley, he seemed to possess the wand of
an enchanter. The city of Washington
was saved to the union by the reap
pointment of Gen. Mcclellan as COM
mander-in-chief. There was no other
federal general then prominently known
who could have fought the battle of
Antietam. Wellesley thinks that. if
President Lincoln had refused to ap-
point Mcclellan to the command of the
army in response to the clamorous de-
mand of the soldiers just at that crisis.
the latter would probably have marched
to Washington, overturned the govern.

le system being put under the influence
of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for
a few weeks, the skin becomes smooth, clear,
soft, and velvety, and being Illuminated with
the glow of perfect health from within, true
beauty stands forth in all its glory. The eff
fects of these medicines which operate upon
the system through the medium of the blood
are necessarily somewhat slow, nc matter how
good the remedy employed. While one to
three bottles clear the skin of pimples,
blotches, eruptions, yellow spots, comedones,
OR "grubs," a dozen may possibly be required
to cure some cases where the system is rotten
with scrofulous or ~virulent blood p~oisons. The
cure of all these diseases, however, from the

A Miser's MethOdic Madness.

Baltimore is called upon to mourn
the death of an elderly miser who,
in his journey through this world, had
spent little else than his life. There
wa method in his madness, for surely
a miser may be said to be mad. A
short time before his death, he informed
a friend that he had never given away a
cent, nor spent one when the expenditure
could possibly be avoided. Four years
ago he married a third wife, and though
she was young, and he was in his
dotage ne had entire ascendency over
her, compelling her to work in factory
and turn oVer her wages to him. He
assumed the whole responsibility of the
household, and, under his penurious
management, nothing went to waste.
Some six years ago he purchased a
cheap pine coffin, and stored it in his
tenement, hiding patiently the day when
he wonld need it for his final wrap.
Shortly before his death, he told his
wife that his funeral expenses must not
exceed $50, and to that END he directed
that his body be carried to his grave on
the shoulders of men, instead of a
hearse. Learning, however, that the
mode of conveyance would cost at least
$12, he decided upon the employment
of an express wagon, which could be
had for the purpose for about SIS.
Finding that a BARRIERS tariff for shaw
ing a corpse Twas something more than
his charge for the same service to a sick
man, he sent, on the night before his
for one of the razor craft, who
did the work to the old mans satisfac-
ton. The widow was mindful of her
deceased lords injunctions, and the
total expenses of the funeral were So. Is. |
The miser left property valued at $780,
700, the result of pinching himself and
through a long series of years.
By his will it was divided between his
wife and a son by a former marriage.

MeteOric Stones,

One of the most rational theories
based upon chemical and physical data
yet propounded concerning the nature
and origin of meteoric stones, is that
which attributes the light emitted from
such bodies not to incandescence. but
to electricity or some other cause.
This theory also asserts that the noise
attending their fall is not that arising
from the explosion of a solid, but that
it is by coneussion of the atmosphere.
arising from the rapid motion of the
body through it, or in part due to the
electric discharge; that meteoric show
ers are not the results of fragments
from the rupture of one solid BODY. but
separation of small and distinct
aerolites that have entered our atmog
phere IN groups; and, finally, that the
black coating is not of atmospheric
origin, but is already formed when
these bodies enter our atmosphere-the
fact being well known, in respect TO the
that observers at a distance often
see these bodies in a luminous state.
while those located where they fall do
not perceive this luminosity,

I could not tell that I would change
That fair and fragrant fancy,
Aud yet, ah, me ! who counts it strange
That time should kill the pansy!
Our love was but a summer flower,
A thing of rings and posies;
A frail, sweet bud that bloomed an hour,
Then dled-like other roses,

So exquisitely tender,
And all my life to your dear grace
Bent down in frank surrender.
And now what need Of vows and signs,
and pas Ionate pretenses,
To us who are so sadly wise
In lOrdship of the senses?

Though there has gone forever
The image from the magic glass,
The ripple from the river.
Your life shall flow above this shock
In truer, steadier fashion,

And if I sometimes look behind,

For to the heart the heart is kind
Loves Eden blooms tomorrow!
