part in the worlds history. The
Sultan has lately had a most oppor-
tune dream. The Prophet has APP

of Allah. Enough iufidels have been

made with Russia. This dream has
besn promulgated as a new revelation
through the mosques OF the empire,
preparing fanatical Mussulmans for
cue inevitable humiliation of Islam.

mans recommendations that the
number of men be raise,l and kept

list is now 800, aud the report recon-

more be added. As to the Indians,
the Secretary favors the feeding of
all the tribes now provided with ra-

NJ. WILFHED DE FoNyEILLE writes
to the London Times to point out
that the number of the satellites of
the heavenly bodies probably varies
in geometrical progression, OF which
the ratio is two for the great planets
from the earth. Thus we have but
one moon, Mars twice as many-two F;
Jupiter twice as many as Mars
four; Saturn twice as many as Jupi
ter-eight. 1t may be supposed, ac-
cordlng TO this, that Uranus has twice
as many moons as Saturn sixteen,
and consequently that Neptune has
thirty-two-it being impossible to see
these owing to the immensely of dis
lance from the earth.

Sir Edward Thornton,

Any body would call him /" a plain
looking man." yet there is a scrupulous
neatness about his attire that would
make you look twice. Aside from that
he is fatherly-looking mortal, as if he
were born into the world to protect
young girls and keep from all harm the
weak and the defenseless. He has dark,
kind, sagacious eyes, the regulation
mutton-cho whiskers of the English
man, great big hands and feet-alto-
gether that beefsteak basis of body
and limb which Americans lack and
long for. No human being could be
freer from pomposity or airs of any
sort. His feet, planted firmly on the
solid earth, seem to be forever striking
out for new miles to conquer, and his
eyes to be forever in quest of some
human creature whom he may help by
the way. The stately coach of the
English Legation may be seen any day
on the avenue, with its maroon iveries
and cockaded outriders; but the /" Dean
OF the corps" is seldom in it. Him
you see striding along the street or
riding in the F Street cars. Therein
no woman is so shabby that the British
Minister will not put her ticket in the
box, nor one so old or ugly that he will
not give her his seat. He is a gentle
man. In his energy, simplicity, kind
ness, and good sense he is among Dip
lomats what Dom Pedro is among mon
archs-a man above Kings.-Mary
Clemnser, ia the Independent.

butter the dishes well, and put the mix
ture in one-eighth of an inch thick, as
it rises so rapidly; serve hot from the

Then, by degrees, mix in the milk and
melted butter, and cake of compressed
yeast. Cover the pan, and set near the
fire to rise. Let it get very light. Have
your waffie-iron very hot, and grease
the inside well with butter. A swab
made of a piece of cotton cloth, tied on
stick, is best to use for greasing; and
have the butter melted. Turn the iron
so that the waffles will brown On both
sides. Take them out of the iron with
knife, and send to table not. You
can butter them and sprinkle on them
powdered sugar and cinnamon.

The Neglected Poet.

Anorsymsusly published in the Louisville Journa
about Isl9.l
A poet sat musing one night on his stool.
Poor fool on his three-iegged stool;
The cold wind WAS high and his cold FIRE low,
Aud closer he crouched with a sorrowful OH
AZ silently DER It each little coal crew
Its hood OF gray ashes and bade him adieu;
And cad was his musing that night on his stool
Poor fool on his three legged stool.
The snow was descending; he heard now and
then,
Again, and still now and then,
little fakes foot stepping spiiefnlly on
The few Goals as though it wished them all gone
Twas so like the voices Of arrogant ,orn
Coming angrily down on the meek ard forlornI
And sad was his musiug that night on his stool
Poor fool on his three legged stool.
His garnet was open, and through the cracks
walked
And talked-through every crack walked
The cold, cruel winds, that seemed with a hiss
Ana laugh to cry out, Here he lie, here he isl
let thought he not 50 much Of cold winds and
shows
Az of mans icy charity, colder than those.
And sad was his musing that night on his stool.
Poor FOOL on his three legged stool.
In sickness and sorrow be suffered alone,
Unknown, he bore all alone,
And often he turned on his pillow to lean
His thin, fevered cheek where the tears hadn't
beeni
But, alad, il was dampened so thoroughly DER
That at last he lay quiet and worried no more.
All, sad was his musing that night on his stool
Poor fool ON his three-le legged stool.
His sweet songs had moved them move5 MANY
to tears,
Throus years, TO Joy and t. tears,
But there in his garnet so cherries and dim
None ever come near him to shed one for him;
All cold they passed him, to sheer and reprove,
For he bad no money, and they had no love.
Flu sad was his musing that night on his stool
Poor fool on his three legged stool.
Yet stin he continued TO tune his great heart
Apart, TO tune his great heart
In unison with the solemn, sad roar
That ever comes up from times sounding shore /;
To brood over nightly, brood over each morrow,
Each poor brothers measure Of sadness and
sorrow.
And sad was his musing that night on his stool,
Poor FOOL on his three legged stool.

The Gospel of Merit.

Where there is so much rivalry as in the
manufacture of family medicines, nc who
would succeed must give positive and con-
vincing proof of merit. This is an age Of in
quiry. People take nothing for granted.
They must know the ",rhys" and 4" irbere-
foreS before acknowledging the superiority
Of one article over another. Among the few
preparations that have stood the test, those
manufactured by L. V. Pierce, NJ. D., of the
Worlds Dispensary, Buffalo, n. Y, have for
many years been foremost The truth of any
statement made concerning them can be
easily ascertained, for Dr. Sage's Catarrh
Remedy and DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery are now prescribed by many
physicians in curing obstinate cases of Ca
tarrh and incipient Consumption. The Dis
covery has no equal in curing Coughs, Colds,
Bronchial and Nervous Affections. 1t allays
all irritation of the mucous membrane, aids
digestion, and when used with DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgaive Pellets readily OvercOmes
torpid Hyer and Constipation, while the
FavCrite Prescription has no rival in the
field of prepared medicine in curing diseases
peculiar to females. If you wish to "kHo1C

On a Spanish Railroad.

In the express trains one meets with
dark haired, dark-visaged gentlemen
who draw their hats down over their
eyes and puff cigarette smoke continu
ally through their nOstrils, who converse
little, and who only unbend from their
naughty demeanor when some beau
tiful girl, with her lace man
tilla draping her fine neck and
shoulders, enters the carriage. But
in the slow trains one gets even more
knowledge of the Spanish populace
than he is DESTROYS of acquiring. The
Spaniard when he travels appears to
fancy that he has an inalienable right
to take with him in the same car in
which he rides all his household goods
and farm produce. A stout farmer, clad
in blouse, pair of white corduroys,
Ieathern sandals and broad hat with
little tassels around its edges, chambers
into compartment already over-crowd-
ed. He hands his nearest neighbor a
cage of chickens, deposits a small bag
of flour in young girls lap, pulls his
growing dog in after him, sets bas-
ket of eggs on an old woman's equity
toes, scrambles into a fraction of
seat, smiles, makes a hundred apollo
gies, and lights a cigarette. Two or
three muleteers, clad in long striped
cloaks, perfume the car with garlic. A
soldier, with his gun slung over his
back, pokes the muzzle of the danger
Gus weapon into his neighbours eye &C.
casionally. Every one interlards his
or her conversation with interjections,
and often with oaths shocking to ears
polite. If the journey is long,
some clever fellow pulls guitar out
of bag, thrums its strings, huns a
ballad in which the others join, laugh
ing and putting smoke between the re-
Trains, and now and then keeping time
by clapping their hands and stamping
with their feet. At a railway station,
at Miranda or Burgos, when the train
stops to allow the passengers to refresh
themselves no one hurries at all. Sup
pose 20 minutes to be the time allowed :;
every one seats himself solemnly at the
long table in the dining-room, and
slowly eats and moderately drinks,
smoking between the courses. As the
20 minutes period approaches its end,
the guard rings a bell loudly and calls
the senores to the train. A few per-
sons look around languidly, as if aston
ished at an unusual noise, but they do
not bestir themselves. On the contrary.
they settle into their chairs and address
themselves to the dessert. When the
train is five minutes behind time, the
guard rings again, with no better sue
cess. After he has rung third time,
and, stalking majestically up and down
the platform of the station, has begun
to feign closing the doors of the car
riages, the travellers rise slowly, wrap
their cloaks around them with great
care, arranging each fold as if they
were about to be presented to the king,
and, lighting fresh cigarettes, stroll to
the train. They stand talking at the
doors until the guard pushes them into
the compartments, when they glare at
him as if he were guilty of great dis
courtesy.-EdsoGTdK King, in Lipptscott's

,Peculiarities of the Ostrich.

The breeding peculiarities of the os-
trich are curious, and but little under
stood. The popular notion that the
eggs are left lying about to be Matched
by the sun is fallacious. The bird is
polygamous, one male associating with
two or three females. The females are
very careless concerning their eggs,
taking little pains to lay them in their
nest, which is but shallow depression
on the ground. The male bird immedi-
ately rolls home such as he finds, and
