The Hermit OF Red-COat's Green.

Mr.. James Lucas, the original of Dick
ems famous character of " Tom Tiddler's
Ground" and the fourth child of an opu-
lent London merchant, was born in 1913.
There were five children in all, of whom
IL brother and sister survive. Lucas was
considered a healthy boy in mind and
body up to ten years, when he suffered
from ring worm, and his character from
that time underwent a change 1t is
certain, however strange it may seem,
that an alteration in his moral character
marked by waywardness of temper and
untruthfulness, occurred at this time
He was spoiled by both parents At
seven he was sent to school; he ran
away, but was sent back, and kept there
until he was fourteen. His teacher
says he displayed incorrigible perverse-
ness and obstinacy, combined with Il Ger
tain amount of cunning" At fourteen
his father was totally unable to manage
him. He was self-willed, obstinate and
impatient of restraint. He would shut
himself up in his bedroom for days to-
gether; he would not refuse his meals,
but steadily declined to return the plates,
until his room contained nearly all the
crockery in the house. He would not
allow the cinders to be removed from the
crate. AT his seventeenth year his father
died; at twenty his conduct became I'M

The EskImOs.

The Eskimos are essentially peculiar
people. Their character and their con
dition, the one of necessity growing out
OF the other, are peculiar. First, it is
claimed for them that they are the anon
alous race of America-the only people
OF the new world clearly identical with
any race of the old. Then they are the
most literal people in the world. The
lineal extent of their occupancy, all of
it a narrow seaboard averaging scarcely
one hundred miles in width, is estimated
at not less than five thousand miles. Be
fore them is a vast, unknown, icy ocean
upon which they scarcely dare venture
beyond sight of land; behind them, hos
tile mOuntaineers ever ready to dispute
encrOachment. Their very mOther-carth,
upon whose cold bosom they have been
borne age after age through countless
generations, is almost impenetrable,
thawless ice. Their days and nights
and seasons and years are not like those
OF other men. Six months of day sue
coed six months of night. Three months
OF sunless winter; three months of night
less summer; six months of glimmerng
twilight.
About the middle of October COM
mences the long night of winter The
earth and sea put on an icy covering;
beasts and birds depart for regions shell
tered or more congenial; humanity hud-
dies in subterraneous dens; all nature
sinks into repose. The little heat left by
the retreating sun soon radiatcs out into
the deep blue realms of space; the tenn
perature sinks rapidly to forty or fifty
degrees below freezing; The air is hushed,
the ocean calm the sky cloudlcss. An
awful, painful stiffness pervadcs the
dreary solitude. Not a sound is heard;
the distant din of busy man and the
noiseless hum of the wilderness alike ar.
wanting. Whispers become audible at a
considerable distance, and an insupport-
able sense of loneliness Expresses the
inexperienced visitor. Occasionally the
aurora borealis flashes out in prismatic
cOruscatiOns, throwing IA brilliant arch
from east to west-now in vaTiegatcd os-
citations, graduating through the vari-
Gus tints of blue and green and violet
and crimson darling, flashing or stream
ing in yellow columns upward, down
ward, now blazing steadily, now in
wavy fluctuations, sometimes up to the
very zenith; momentarily lighting up in
majestic grandeur the cherries frozen
scenery, but only to fall back with ex-
hausted force, leaving a denser obscurity.
Natures electric lantern, suspended for
a time in the frosty vault of heaven
munificent natures fireworks; with the
polar bear and the polar man spectators
In January the brilliancy of the stars
is dimmed perceptibly at noon; in Feb

ION at the same hour; in March the in
cipient dawn bioadens; in April the

A Pathological Liar.

The disease known among alienist
physicians as aphasia, and the symptom
of which is the patients inability to eX-
press his meaning by proper use of
words, so that should he wish cruel he
will call for snuff or his boots, has re-
Gently caused some curious develop
ments in the case of the Corottier, about
whose moral and social accountability
there has been much discussion She is
utterly unable to tell the truth on any
subject-at least she has not for years
been known to tell it-and in her defense
on the charge of perjury her advocate,
M. Henri Bernouilli, has pleaded her
cause on grounds very similar to those
SO often urged in America in behalf of
criminals-temporary insanity, moral in
sanity and the like-first used, believe,
by the late Mr.. Seward in his defense of
the negro Freeman. In trial that grew
out of case of Inheritance Nine. Corot-
tier swore SO wildly that at its close she
was Immediately held for perjury, and
her counsel proved by physicians that,
beyond all manner of doubt, there was
such a nervous disorder as aphasia, and
that those afflicted with it are not always
and in every instance subject to its in
tiuence. They can at times call things
by their right names; the disease is an
obscure one, nor is it possible to detect
us presence ny Other external signs than
this misnaming of facts and objects.
This being proved, NJ. Bernouilli next
called numbers of witnesses who had
known the prisoner for years, and whose
testimony was to the effect that it always
seemed impossible for her to tell the
truth. In questioning the prisoner dur
ing the process cerbdL she had been de-
tected in numerous Measurements; she
called one physician "a COW; said that a
slop bowl examined her, and addressed
NJ. Bernouiili under the title of hair
brush" NJ. Bcrnouilli is one of the most
eloquent and subtle of Partisan advo-
Gates, and, on the grounds shown above,
actually succeeded in acquitting his
client of the crime with which she was
charged. To many her case will seem to
be simply that of an enormous liar; but,
as her swearing was gratuitOus, and she
was in no way benefited or could have
been benefited by it, her position was
peculiar. But how many gratuitous
liars are there in the world, and if apha-
STA can be used as plea for them what
is TO become of morals and of criminal
justice?-Pdris Cur. ". y. Grdphtc.

A REPORT comes from London that
Mr.. Disraeli is to be married again. As
the venerable statesman is within twelve
months of his seventeen birthday it
would be remarkable if in his old age
and infirmities he should seek another
consort. 1t has always been supposed,
too, that his extreme affection for the
estimable lady whom he married when
he was over sixty, and who died two
years ago, would prevent another mat
rimonial alliance on his part

A Wrong Custom Corrected.

1t is quite generally the custom to take
strong liver stimulants for the cure of liver
complaint, and both the mineral and vegeta-
BILE Kingdoms have been diligently searched
TO procure the most drastic and poisonous
purgatives in order to produce powerful eff
feet upon the liver and arouse the lagg1ng
and enfeebled organ. This system of treat
ment is on the same principle as that of Civ
ing weak and debilitated man large por-
tions of brandy to enable him to do certain
amount of work. When the stimulant is
withheld the organ, like the system, gradual
ly relapses into more torpid or sluggish and
weakened condition than before. What then
is wanted? Medicines which, while they
cause the bile to flow freely from the liver, as
that organ is toned into action, will not over
work and thus debilitate it, but will, when
their use is discontinued, leave the liver
strengthened and healthy. Such remedies
are found in DIR. Perce's Golden Medical Dis
covcry and Purgative Pellets.

THE American Newspaper Direc.
tory is an epitome of newspaper his
tory. 1t is also regarded as an official
register of calculations. This feature,
requires the closest scrutiny to prevent
it from leading to abuses. The plan,
adopted by the publishers of the Di-
rectory, to secure correct and trust
worry reports, is rigid in its require
ments and adhered to with impartiali-
ty. Successful publishers, who have
to gain by comparison, are generally
prompt, not only to send reports in con-
formity but give Messrs. George p.
Rowell & Co. such information as en-
ables them to weed out unsubstantia-
ted statements of pretenders in jour-
alism. The popularity of the book,
and t.,e general confidence in its accu-
racy and good faith are attested by the
immense body Of advertisements it
receives.

the most pitiful objects ever seen, his
face swollen out of shape, scales and
eruptions without end, extending to
his body. which was completely COW

a few bottles of the Golden Medical
Discovery, with daily use of the Pellets,
assuring him it would surely cure him.
He commenced its use some six weeks
since, taking two Pellets each night for
week, then one each night, and the
Discovery as directed. The result is,
to-day his skin is perfectly smooth,
and the scaly eruptions are gone. He
has taken some seven or eight bottles

DIED.

On the 18Th inst, Mrs. MATTE ToNLINsoN
wife OF U. d. Tomlinson and daughter Of
Alexander and Moanine Outlaw.
She departed this life in the thirty eighth
year of her age, leaving a bereaved hus-
band and eight fond little ones to mourn
her untimely end. Matte died in the
vicinity in which she was raised n known
model of all that constituted an excellent
woman, an obedient child, devoted wife
and a fond mother. She was a woman of
remarkable fortitude-always bearing the
affiictions and trials of life with the same
religious complacency of mind that she
did its blessings. Though she did not be-
long to any church, she professed to have
an interest through faith in the blood Of
Christ. When informed that she was APP
preaching that awful moment that n O hand
Out God could avert, She remained calm
and unmoVed, but plainly expressed by
her sanity countenance, THE WILL, OF COP
BE DONE. The Sweetness of her temper
the many virtues and womanly sraces that
ever adorned her walks in life won for her
the love and admiration of all who knew
her. Her afiiiction was agonizing and ex-
cruciatingly painful, yet borne with the
most christian fOrtitude. Nav the moral
and pieps impressions left on the tender
minds of her weeping children be made
indelible by her death and illumine that
pathway which leads TO the pure fount of
God and oonstrain them to an emulation of
her noble character, Thus passed away
another truly good and eEempl9ry WOMAN.
From her unpolluted ashes may sweet
sViolets spring"

Grants Secret Instructions Sending
Sheridan to New Orleans.
WAR DEPARTMENT, WASHINGTON
ID. c., Dec. "a, 1S74-To Gen. Z. II
Sheridan, Chicago, Iii. General: The
President sent for me this morning
and desires me to say to you that he
wishes you to visit the States of Louis
lana and Mississippi, and especially
New Orleans, La, and Vicksburg and
jackson, Mississippi, and ascertain for
yourself, and for his information, the
general conditioned matters in those To-
caiities.. You need not cenfine your visit
to the States of Louisiana and Missis-
sippi and may extend your trip to other
States, Alabama, etc., if you see prop
er; nor need you confne your visitin the
States of Louisiana and Mississippi to
the places named. What the Presi-
dent desires is the true condition of
affairs and to receive such suggestions
from you as you may deem advisable
and judicious. Enclosed herewith is
an order authorizing you to assume
command of the Military Division of
the South, or any portion of that
division, should you see proper to do
so. 1t may be possible that circum-
stances may arise which would render
this proper course to pursue. You
can, if you desire it, see Gen. Mellow
ell in Louisville and make known to
him confdentially the object of your
trip, but this is not required of you.
Communication with him by you is
left entirely to your own judgement.
Of course you can take with you such
gentlemen of your staffa as you wish, and
1t is best that the trip should appear to
be one as much of pleasure as Of bus
mess, for the fact of your mere pres
ence in the localities referred to will
have, it is presumed, beneficial effect.
The President thinks, and so do |,
that trip South might be agreeable
to you, and that you might be able to
obtain a good deal of information on
the subject about which we desire to
learn. You can make your return by
Washington and make verbal report,
and also inform me from time to time
of your views and conclusions.
Yours truly, etc.,
w. w. BELKNAP, Secretary of War.
The following dispatch authorizes
the Liptenant General to take COM
mand over the Military Disvision of

sary:

portion thereof, the President of the
United States hereby authorizes and
instructs you to take the command ac-

quarters at such point as you may
deem best for the interests of the pub
