Ignorance of an English Common
Soldier.

The brutal remark that "such men
make good food for powder" is too often
the only recommendation in filling up
armies to carry ON the fighting trade.
An exchange comments thus on the SOL
diery of the British ranks:
Probably not more than two-fifths of
the men in the line can read aud writo
when they enlist. One would be sur
prised at the number of men who can
only make their mark when signing their
monthly accounts, or rather who touch
the pen, for the mark Of soldier is not
taken in signing accounts. He touches
the pen, and the pay-sergeant signs his
name for him in the presence Of an officer
of the company.
Large numbers of recruits are drawn
from the manufacturing and agricultural
districts Of England, and anything more
stupid than some Of these it would be
difficult to find. There is vivacity and
sparkle about an Irishman, even If he
has never seen primer, that disguises
his ignorance; but your true English
born and brought up in ignorance carries
in his face the marks of his nativity and
training.
"Can you read and writea" asked .
color. sergeant of q recruit of this stamp
who had just been sent up.
"Rsad and writev' was the reply.
"D'ye think let squire, or WHAT"
"Well, my man, squire or laborer, you
will have to use little more respectful
language, or you'll find yourself In hot
water here"
"Wota" he asked, gazing stolidly upon
the color-sergeant.
~ say you'll have to be little more
respectful in your language"
''Strike me blind! But here's q Co."
"Put him in the guard.room," said the
color.sergeant, sternly.
"Never mind" added the officer, a.
they were marching him off; "bring him
back. He's not to blame. It's his par.
ents, or those who brought him up, who
should be punished"

Stewards Estate.

Stewart provided in his will that all
his business and the real estate directly
connected with it should be inherited hy
Judge Hilton who had been his coptideu-
tial advisor for number of years. All
his other estate he bequeathed to bis
wife. The actual value OF the business
and the real property connected with !,
was not publicly known then, nor has il
been known since. Tho whole was esti.
mated at $50, 900 900, and l am inclined
to think that figure not much out of the
way. It included the wholesale house
on Chamber street, the retail house on
Tenth street and some twenty mills man
ufactoring for the firm. All the hotel
property was out side the business, and
together with the number of houses in
different parts of the city, went to Mrs
Steward. Those who speak of decline
say that the business part of the estate
is worth 81, 900, 600 less to-day than al
Stewards death, and some of them pre-
dict that five more years will produce
bankruptcy. Such predictions, however,
are sometimes mere folly, and this may
be one of that sort. The estimate value
of his entire real estate in this city in
1875 was $10,O00,0O0. This included
two stores, which were supposed to be
worth 100000. The up town store Is
built on leased ground, and the fee Is
therefore not so valuable Is might be
supposed. Deducting the value of the
stores which has now become the
property of Mr.. Hilton, the real estate
bequeathed to Mrs. Stewart was worth
$7,OOO,OOO year before her husbands
death. As much of this property is sit
uated in parts of the city which arc
steadily going backward, such az Bleek-
er street, Amity street, Ninth street,
Prince street, and so on, its value has
undergone q serious decline since that
time. Good judges say that at least g.
600, 900 must be taken off for deprecia-
ton. They speak in the same way Of
the property at Hampstead, and with
probably as much reason. There is no
doubt that the whole estate has shrunk
up several millions since Stewards death,
but it is not by any means certain that
the same thing would not have happened
if Mr.. Stewart were still alive. Some
very shrude business men have become
bankrupts in the past three years.-Hart'
ford Times,

Presenting at Court.

According to AU the Year Round any
person of fair character may be present.
ed at the English Court, who can find q
sponsor whose endorsement is satisfac-
tory to Lord Chamberlain. The method
of refusing presentation is simple. Per-
sons wishing to appear at Court must
send in their cards certain time before
levee or drawiLg-room. If anything be
known against them, their cards are not
returned to them. There is no scandal,
no open exposure. The cards do not
come back.
A levee is comparatively uninterest.
ing affair. Only on rare occasions is one
held by the Queen herself, who generally
deputies this part of her duty to the
Prince of Wales, who gets through it
very graciously and pleasantly, never for
getting to shake hands with man whom
he has met before.
This kind of memory is part of the
duty of the Prince. and very important
part, as nearly affecting his personal
popularity. 1t is, therefore, made study
by reiguing families, and has been car
ried to such extraordinary perfection by
the House Of Hanover that it appears to
be almost hereditary.
1t is impossible to overrate its value.
His late Majesty King George Nv. was,
to judge by the testimony of contempor-
aries, neither very wise nor very good
King, but he was undoubtedly popular.
During his long career as Prince Re-
gent he became acquainted with thous-
ands of persons, and neither forgot q
face or name. Country gentlemen, ex-
officers of the army and navy, doctors
and divines, we're all delighted with a
sovereign who knew them and called
them by their right names at once.
Each one naturally thought himself
the especial object of royal regard,
whereas he was, as matter of fact, only
unit in vast dictionary of titles and
features photographed on the royal
brain.

Silence as q Punishment.

The benefits and evils of the system of
inflicting SOLITARY confinement" upon
criminals have been discussed for many
years, both in America and in Europe
and in some countries, for instance in
some of the United States and in France,
silence az a punishment is still imposed.
The London School Board recently pro-
posed that truants and other youthful de-
linquents should be subjected to this sys-
tenn and "silent school" for bad boys
has been for many years in existence at
Hamburg, in Germany. 1t has been de-
clared, however, by eminent physicians and
men of science, that long enforced silence
is extremely injurious to the health of pris-
oners. In cases where they are not allowed
to speak from day to day, from week to
week, and from year to year, even to their
keepers, it is found that the digestive Or
gans become feeble, the breathing appar-
atus grows defective, and organic diseases
find their way into the system. It il
found, too, that in prisons where the ST.
lent system prevails, many more prisoners
die than in those where they are permitted
the use of speech. These facts, when
they become fully known, are likely to
lead to the abolition Of silence as pun.
ishment; for the humane ideas of our age
will not permit the health even of the
hardened criminal to suffer during his
term of punishment. Prisons are nova.
days usually we'll drained and ventilated
the food supplied to the inmates is good
and nourishihg, and they are allowed to
take all needful exercise. This is because
it is deemed cruel to subject prisoners to
what would ipjure their health. So, too
if silence is found to have that result +, il
is not likely to remain as method Of
punishment.

Retributive Justice.

ApropOs of an item of news which
comes all the way from Italy, and is to
the effect that Mrs. John Lorrimer Ora
ham, wife, now widow of our former
Consul to Florence, is about to marry her
first husbands Italian Secretary, there is
q little story. Mrs. Lorrimer was before
her marriage Miss Josephine Garner,
daughter Of the millionaire proprietor of
numerous great cotton manufactures.
Mr.. Graham belonged to good family,
but had no fortune, and was occupying
the position of confidential clerk in Mr..
Gamers Office when be married his
daughter. At the time of a business
crisis, about 1857, when NO man felt safe,
Mr.. Garner, as q precautionary measure,
placed 100000 in bis son-in-law's keep.
ing, not as a gift, but in trust against
possible contingencies. Those possibili-
ties became realities. Mr.. Garner failed,
but relied on his reserve fund to begin
life anew. He applied to his son-in-law
for the money, but Mr.. John Lorrimer
Graham declined to relinquish. He had
it, and he was determined to keep it.
every WE'LL" remarked Mr.. Garner; ~
have as much energy, as much pluck, a.
much perseverance as ever I had. shall
go into business again, shall make
money; but remember, you have got all
you will ever get from me-" He did 60
into business again; he succeeded so IS
to leave, when he died few years ago, .
fortune of several millions behind him.
One million dollars of this money was
left to his daughter Josephine after her
husbands death. Before that event she
could not touch it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Graham lived abroad, and
entertained magnificently on the interest
of the 500, 900 and the Insignificant sal
airy of q United States Consul. One
year ago Mr.. Graham died, and his widow
came in for her million, which is now to
be shared by the handsome and gentle
manly secretary of her late husband
Jennie June.
