The Hermit of the Highlands.

There is curious old character at the
Highland Light House, who is Familiarity
known there as the Hermit of the High
lands" His name is Havens, no rela.
tion, except in his peculiarities, to "Ben-
ny Havens, o." of West Point. Havens,
of the Highlands, is now 80 years of age.
For more than 40 years he has been ship
news agent at that point, his business
being to telegraph to the Ship News Of
fee in New York City the vessels which
appear off Sandy Hook making for this
point. Some 35 years ago, before the in
vention of the electric telegraph, he was
stationed in this city on the top Of the
Custom House and worked the So
maphoric telegraph, which was used in
those days for the same purpose. Not
being well one summer, he asked for two
week 3 vacation, and was transferred to
the office at the Highlands. For some
reason they forgot to recall him at the
end of his two weeks, and he has been
there ever since. The system Of tele-
graphing has changed; steamships have
come into common use, whereas when he
went there, there were only few plying
the ocean. He had witnessed the rise
and success Of all the. large steamship
comp"nies of this country and England,
and scores of vessels have been wrecked
on the reefs within sight Of his Office.
He never leaves his Highland home I'M
less on business connected with his Office,
and if he is called to New York City he
hurries back as soon as possible. AL
though living only few miles from
Long Branch, he has never visited that
place. In spite of bis extreme age his
eyssight is still very good, and he can
distinguish ships at distance of ten,
fifteen or even twenty miles at sea, and
declare correctly their name by the little
peculiarities in their build and rigging.
What appears to the ordinary eye only a
speck on the horizon, to him is almost
always familiar form whose name he
can call instantly.

The CosT OF WAR.-Our own country
has found that out by sad experience,
and Russia is now taking lesson from
the same exacting teacher. She is only
in the fifth month of her struggle with
Turkey, and has swelled her paper cur.
rency to $64O,0O0,OO0, and it is expected
she will have to issue 450, 100000 roubles
($328, 800, ,000) more. The Russian news.
paper VedemOste, after an elaborate re-
view of the sums already expended,
draws the conclusion that, if the war
lasts till Autumn, it will cost not less
than S50,O00,O0O roubles ($620, 500 OOO),
of which 252, 100000 ($169, 1850, ,OOO) have
already been expended. To cover this
sum there is in reserve 15OOO0,0O0
roubles ($109, ,5O0,00O. From these fig
ures it will be seen that if the war should
last two or three years, Russia will have
a dept on her hands of fearful magni
tude for her taxpayers.

Tribes and Tongues.

The San Francisco correspondent OF
the New York Examiner and Chronicle,
gets off the following spicy description
Of the people of the Bay City:
Sometimes painters used to go to Glib

tries that sets the streets in blaze, but
to see nations, come to San Francisco.
You meet a Spaniard in wide hat, an
Italian with ink in his hair, a correlatiN
Of frogs and Soupe-mGigre, all in minute.
A California Indian in still shoes, a moon
faced Mexican In partial eclipse and a
sort Of African by brevet, Russian with
square chin and furry look, all In
three squares. You elbow South Ameri-
cans, Australians, New Zealsnders. You
accost man who was born in Brazil, who
halls from Good Hope, who trades in
Honolulu. One Of the great Chinese
merchants with an easy gait, an erect
head and q boyish face, is coming around
the corner. A man from Calcutta is be-
hind you. "An Israelte in whom is no
guile" is before you. The Scotchman is
here With the high check bones, the blue
eyes, and the cutty pipe and word from
kobby Burns in hrs mouth. The Dutch

CHEMICAL analysis discloses the fact
that among the many articles used for
food there are only two, wheat and milk,
which contain all the elements of the hu-
man body and in the proper proportion
Other articles-such as butter, sugar
syrup, and fat of all kinds-are wholly
carbonaceous, or heat producing; so that
if human being were to attempt to live
on these articles alone his brain and mus.
cles would starve. BY actual experiment
it has been found that man could NOT
survive two months on such diet.

The Happy Holiday.

Happiness on Christmas day is both &
tradition and habit. OF old, when men
were rougher than they are now, and enjoy
ment was of more boisterous sort than
il is in our time, it was the custom to
cultivate merriment more than now, and
we have survival of the old notion OF
happiness in the universal Christmas sal
utation which is still in use among us; but
whether we are literally "merry" or not,
there are very few tolerably we'll constl,
tuted persons who fail to draw some KIND
of genuine happiness from the day OF our
great feast.
We do good deeds on that day for one
thing, and the doing brings delight. We
remember the poor and endeavor In some
way to brighten the day for them; we
give gifts to our friends and have JOY In
the giving; we warm our hearts in the
GLOW of the Christmas fires, and there is
comfort ia such warmth. The traditions
of the day are all unseltish, and even
without intending it we grow generous al
this season, making ourselves happy in
irving to make others SO. Above all, we
rejoice in the gee of the children, catch
inc something of their keen zest for sim
nle pleasure, and softening for the time
the crusts of hard worldliness in which
the years contact with life encases US
We enter into the sports of the little peo.
ple, and forget that we are grave men and
women. with the cares and the dignities
of wears upon our heads. 1t is good fol
us. too, that we can thus revert once 8
wear to something like childhood, draw
ing thence new stores Of youthfulness.
tits curious fact that Christmas alone
of all our holidays, is mossgrown with
pretty traditions. The Others are OBJ
served formally, mechanically or conven.
tionally; Christmas alone has its customs
which have grown out of the soil of hui
man nature, as it were. On New Years
Day we have calls, Of course, and the
custom was a pretty and hospitable one
in the days of the old Dutch dynasty
but the fashion, dress coats and formality
have robbed II of much of its genial sig.
nifcance. We injure our car-drums on
the Fourth Of July with senseless din.
Our other holidays are local, provincial
or at least strictly American still Christ
mas only, of those which may be classed
with it, has distinct and definite char.
acter of its own. Its customs are the
natural growth of centuries. All nations
have contributed to the general store OF
them, and the observances with which the
day is marked in different countries are
sufficiently like each other to make OF
them a sort of Christmas freemasonry,
through which every keeper of Christmas
recognizes a brother in every other OBJ
server of the day.
In this country, we owe much of our
Christmas enjoyment to Charles Dickens,
who, if he did not introduce the day to
US, first taught US how to enter fully into
its spirit. II we were not quite Scrooges,
we were at least given over to thoughts
of thrift, and had too little of the Christ
mas habit of abandoning ourselves to the
childlike Christmas customs in the spirit
of childhood, until his Tiny Tins and
their fellows taught us what delight there
may be in family feast when good will
