Educating An Army.

Gen. Mcclellan says, in Scri6ner,
that when one OF the Khedive's Ameri-
can officers had been some months in
Egypt, the Khedive sent for him one
day, and asked him what was the worst
thing he had observed in regard to the
army. He replied that it was that the
regiments were commanded by civilians.
The Khedive said: "No, there is q
Colonel for every regiment eyes, :"
said the American, "but each Colonel,
Chief OF Battalion, and Captain has
civilian clerk who controls everything
relating to the pay, ations and clothing
of the men, and whoever does that really
commands" "You are right, said the
Khedive, "but how would you correct
this Z" "By requiring that the
Colonels should have sergeants as their
clerks (; the Chiefs of Battalions, corpo-
rails the Captains, private soldiers ;
and also requiring that the officers
should supervise and do much OF the
real work themselves" "That means
that the army should learn reading,
writing and arithmetic I" "That Is
exactly what 1 was ceming at, Your
Highness. The Khedive reflected for
a moment, and then at once wrote an
order to the Minister of War, requiring;
that from that moment no person in the
army leither officer or soldier) should be
promoted Until he was master of read
ing, writing and arithmetic. The con
sequence was that the whole army i'm
mediately became school.

No More Condemned Cannon for Mon.
umentai Purposes.

The House Committee on Military
Affairs have reported adversely ON all
the bills, some twenty in number, pro
viding for grants of condemned cannon,
etc, for monumental purposes. The
applications were made in behal. of mu-
nicipal authorities and soldiers associa-
tions in various parts of the country,
ranging from Massachusetts TO Missouri.
The repor. of the committee is as fol
lows: ''These bills call for 101 guns and
100 tons OF bronze, which would be
equivalent to about 3O5 guns in all, and
214 cannon baHs. Only two of the bills
call for iron (twelve) guns; 235 are
bronze guns, and of fifty-eight the ma
terial is not named. II the latter are to
be bronze, the value of the material to
the Government would be about $751;
600. There have heretofore been
granted by previous acts of Congress
about 700 guns, which were worth at
least $4,000. The large number asked
for IN the present bills, as well as the
number heretofore granted, and the
great expense OF such donations, have
caused your committee to give the mat
ter careful consideration, and they are
OF the opinion that these general dona-
tions Of Government material should be
stopped"

Where IL Came From, and What Has Be

of the subject-A World Baptized with
Fire.
[Prof. Elias Colbert, in Chicago Tribune.
"Did you see iti Did you hear it a.
were the questions addressed in general
conversation during Friday and Satur-
day. No one needed to be told that the
ait " referred to was the brilliant me-
teoric phenomenon OF Thursday even
ing. And to the Tribune other ques-
tions have come pouring in such as
"What was ito Where did it come
fron;a Where has it gone tot" It is
no wonder that an extraordinary degree
OF interest was awakened by the unex-
pected display of celestial pyrotechnics,
az it was exceptionally grand and i'm
posing more 80 thar any that
was ever before witnessed by white men
in this region.
The path Of the stranger during its
visible career may be nearly found from
q comparison of the numerous observa-
tions made though many of these are
too vagus to be of value In determining
position and distance, and only one or
two give precise information.
From q comparison OF the crude de-
scriptions given, we conclude that the
following is an approximate statement
of the path pursued by the meteorite
while visible. From some point south
west by west of Lawrence, Kan, to
Miami county, on the eastern border of
that State across Missouri, from Cass
to Marion counties; across Illinois,
from Adams to Iroquois counties; ACROSS
Indiana, from the southern portion of
Newton county to Fort Wayne (Allen
county,, from there across Ohio to the
southern point Of Lake Erie, and over
the northwestern corner Of Pennsyl-
vania into New York State. The dis.
tance was nearly 1000 miles; the time
at Chicago about 8h. 35m. p. m, Of
Dec. 81, 1876; the height above the
earth's surface some seventy five miles
when over Kansas, to forty miles when
over Ohio. Its probable size-of that
we may have something to say anon.

a Lesson to Railroads. Men Must Not BE
Put O6 . Train Reckiessiy.

a Les.ou TO R.irrsads-Mep Must Hct BE
Put on Train Reckiess'y.
fFrom the Nashville Americana
The case of John Esgieton against the
Nashville. Chattanooga and St Louis
railways suit for $50, 900 damages for
having his leg run over by train year
or two ago, necessitating its amputAf1on
-vas decided at Murfreesboro last Bat
urdAy before Judge Baxter, by . verdict
of IS. 900 damages in plaintiffs favor.
The testimony in the trial showed that
Eaeleton entered the train at Nashville
In a state of intoxic stion, without having
purchased a ticket. The conductor
called ON him for his fare, when Eagle
ton told him that some friend IN another
car had his ticket The conductor
failed t. find the friend, and tackled
Esgleton again. Eagleton insisted that
be had paid his fare. The conductor
then called upon a passenger sitting near
Esgleton to prove, and did prove, that
Eagieton had not paid. When the train
stopred at Antioch, Eaeleton said he
would give an order for the amount Of
the fare, on some Nashville firm. The
conductor told HIM he could not take an
order, and that he npust have the money
or ticket, or he would put + leleton
oG Eagleton then pulled cut OF his
pocket cents and handed it 10 the
conductor. The latter said the amonnt
would take Eagleton TO the next station,
bus that he could not go to Murfrees-
boro Tor that amount At this Eagleton
snstched the 81 cents away from
the conductor, who stopped the train
AMI put EAgleton Of, 800 yards south of
Antioch Two men, following in the
ne II Of the train, came up Immediately
After it left and found Eaaleton in q cut
vith his leg broken just below his knee,
me bone being shattered half way down
to the ankle.
During the ti ial the conductor tesfi-
ned that he put Eagleton of the train
100 yards north of where he WAS found;
That he supposed Esgleton mus. have
caught hold of the tram as it moved of,
and run on with il, falling where he was
found, and breaking his leg.
The points OF law bearing on the case,
- stated by Judge Baxter in his charge.
were:
1. That ii was the duty of the conduc-
tor TO have put Eagleton of at station,
and that he had no authority TO put him
OF between stations.
2. That the conductor should Lave
put him of at safe place, so as not TO
endaneer his safety.
3. That, as Esgleton was drunk and
excited, the conductor ought 10 have
been more careful, it being in the night
and very dark, in selecting q suitable
and safe place TO PUT him Of

Cold STARcH.-A splendid thing to
give gloss and prevent the iron from
sticking. Make a suds of white CASTLE
soap, and add to your raw starch.
New YKAR's CAKR.-Two and one-half
pounds butter, two and one-half pounds
sugar, five pounds -four, one pint cold
water, one half ounce ammonia, one-half
pound carav ay seed.
CoooANJr PH.-To eight eggs use two
quarts milk; CRATE nutmeg fine; pour
over it the milk and eggs well beaten
sweeten, salt. and flavor according to
taste; make crust like custard.
HAZEL NuT BUTTER. Scald and blanch
some hazel-nuts; pound them to q paste
in a mortar, adding gradually small
quantity of butter. This is good to eat
with wild fowl, or to flavor the most
delicate sauces.
CURE FOR CHAPPED HANDS. Cam
phorated ice (Which is combination of
mutton-tallow and camphor) has given
me the greatest satisfaction. Also q
solution of cider vinegar and pure
glycerine in equal parts will cure the
most stubborn cbappe hands on even
the thinnest skin.
IsDIAN-MEAL DoUeHNUIs.--A teacup-
full and half boiling milk poured over
two teacupfuls Indian meal; when il
cools ada two cupfuls wheat -four, one
of butter, one and bali of sugar, three
eggs, and tablespoonful nutmeg or
cinnamon; if not stiff enough, add equal

LIE ROI EST MORT.

We knew that the Year was dying
When the midnight chimes began;
Low on his death-bed lying,
Like worn-out aged man.
The King, who ruled for a tweiv emonth.
With proud and royal sway,
Must give mp his crown and scepter
when the New Year cries, " Make way -
His earthly journey was finished.
And so We watched him 60;
Old Time came ia with his hour-glass.
And finished him with a blow.
he was old and vretched and broken.
We hurried him n at last
And glad good-by was sposen;
We pushed him into the pact
SO long as the Tear was with rs,
To use him well we tried;
We gave him a Christmas dinner
The week before be died
But bis guilty conscience was weighted
With many a dread al crime
We looked At his corpse, and hated
To think how he spent his time.
No chance for shrift We allowed him.
But buried him in his sin;
With the soft white snow we shroud HIM,
and carefully wrap him in.
we aug him grave with laughter,
And smiled as we laid him there;
We shoveled the earth In after,
And packed IL down with care.
And back to the earth he never
Can make his way again;
he has fnished his work forever
Among the sons of men:
Hell never unlock that portsl
SO long as the ages roll:
There was nothing about him inn ortal:
The gray-beard had no soul.
Aad the sorrow that he brought with him.
The care, the shame, the sin,
Wen try to bury them with him
HIS grave shsll lock them in.
No mourners are bending DER him:
No hand . wstch-fire keeps:
with these who have gone before him
The uncrowned monarch sleeps

To RESTORE BLACK MERNo.-Soak
the goods in strong soft-soap suds two
hours, then, having dissolved one ounce
extract logwood (Which is the amount
required for one dress) in bowl of
warm water, add sufficient warm-not
hot-water to cover the goods, which
are to be taken from the suds without
wringing. Allow the goods to stand in
tbs logwood water over night; in the
morning rinse in several waters without
wringing; in the last water add one pint
sweet milk, which stiffens the goods a
little; iron while quite damp. 1t will
not crock, and looks as good as new.
