THE DINNER.

BY mis- wife, Mr. Bayard 1sylor tho Minister ana Mrs.
Taylor aud H. sidney Everett the Secretary OF Leaa-
ton The Prince and Princess Bismarck ana the
Countess Marie Grain Won Bismarck, accompanied by
the Princes Two sons met the General door Of
tho salon and presented him TO the various guests
There was hearty greeting for the Minister aad his
party and the Princess and Mrs Grant were soon on
tho waves OF animated conversation. Tho com
pany was about thirty, and low moments alter the
Generals ARRIVAL dinner was announced. Tho Prince
led the way, escorting Mrs Grant, who sat on his
right with mrs. Taylor on his icft the General aud

In order to reach TINS apartment the compsny
passed through the devoted to the Congress- IL
seemed IKE coming into some awful presence TO De
In the very chamber where the ruling minds OF
Europe, the masters OF icgIons. the who govern
tho world, daily meet TO determine the destiny Of

CHATTING.
We came to q utechanbcr Tho General ana Bis

out upon the glorious swaying trees in the park
The Isdies clustered into another group around tho

party broke into groups, wandering about the balcony
TO talk about the weather, the trees, the ram the
Congress- the Kaiser aud tho other themes that seem
10 float ABOUT IN every Berlin conversation.
BisxARcK's PIPE.
The General was made comfortable by his cigar. but
the Prince would not smoke cigar. His doctors, who
had been bo,hcring MIN about many Things, had even
undertaken TO interfere with his tobacco and ali thew
would allow him was pipe. Just such pipe AZ the
American mind associates with q oanasr or Ger
man--a pipe with black heavy bowl, smoking ma
chine two feet long. which the Prince nursed
beneath his knees with head bent forward In the
full tide OF an animated conversatisn.

with that ringing cheer winch, somehow, hears

an intelligent oflcer. The General complimc ntsa the
movement OF tho troops highly. but said he ques-
toned very much whether In modern war the rsbre
OF the bayenet were OF use.
pAroSxr AND sABRx
"whatI mean" said the General, els this; any
thing that adds the burdens by the soldier
10 a weakness TO the army. Every ounce he carries
should tell 10 his efficiency. The bsyonct Is heavy,

Pruss,an army would sustain tho Generals view Hc
knew oil cssos where effective work mad been done
with the bayonst, and that the Russians would net

showed instances when the bayonet was effective,
but those instances we're so fee that he did
not think they would pay for the heavy
burden imposed upon an army by tho
carrying OF the bayonct In any army he con-
msnded he would feel like taking away the bayonst
aud telling the mon 10 trust to the butt ends OF their
muskcts IL Is due 10 the Major to say that he was
not convinced BY the Genera Is reasoning but the
discussion may have value a bit OF military crti-
cism.
Review oAvALRY AND ARTILLERY.
Amer tho manouvres and she sham ngns there was a

The Popular Science Monthly remarks
that many of the Ills aud diseases prev.
alent among women in our day are no
doubt traceable to the sedentary mode
of life so common among them. The
progress of the industrial art has done
away with much of the household
drudgery to which women were former
Iy subjected, and the result is in too
many cases wart of sufficient occupa-
ton for needed bodily exercise. 1t
says: ''The faults of this state OF
things are strikingly exhibited in cer-
tain observations made by the late DR..
Robertson, a Manchester surgeon, who,
in his practice as a specialist for wo-
mems diseases, found that IN women
who themselves performed all
their household work there was
no trace of certain complaints,
that these cmplaInts begin to make
their appearAcce in women with one

The eccentric Dean Swift, in tbs
course OF one of those journeys To-
Holyhead, which il is well known he
several times performed on foot, was
travelling through Church Stretton,
Shropshire, when he put up at the sign
of the Crown, and finding the host 70
be communicative, good-humored
man, inquired II there was any agrece
able person in town with whom he
might partake Of dinner (as he had
desired him to provide one), and that
such person should have nought 70 pay.
The landlord Immediately replied THAI
the curate, Mr.. Jones, was very agree
able, companionable man, and would
not, be supposed, have any objection
to spend few hours with gentleman
OF his appearance. The dean directed
him to wait on Mr.. Jones with his cou-
plments, and TO cay that traveller
would be glad 10 be favored with he
company at the Crown IL it was agTee-
able. When Mr.. Jones and the dean
had dIned, and the glass began TO cir-
culate, the former made an apology Tor
an occasional absence, saying that Z
O'Clock he was to read prayers and
preach at the church. Upon this intI-
nation the dean replied that be also
should attend prayers. Service being
ended and the two gentlemen hssipf
resumed their station At the CroWn,
the dean began 70 compliment M.
Jones upon his delivery Of very sp-
propIiate sermon, and remarked that =
must have cost him (Mr. Jones) some
time and attention TO compose such 9
one. Bir. Jones observed that his
duty was very laborious, Is he served
another parish church ct q distance,
which with the Sunday and weekly
service at Church Stretton straightcn-
ed him much with respect 10 the time
necessary for the composition Of SER
mons; 50 that Ehen the subjects press
ed he could only devote . few days
and nights TO that purpose.
"Well." says the dean, 4'it is wei
for you 70 have such talent; for a.
part, the very sermon you preached

composing"
On this observation Mr.. Jones began

Instead of being at all peculiar fea-
ture OF Moslem society, harem-life,
without its polygamic extension, but
with the recognized practice OF con
cubinage, was essentially Byzantine
institution, and long before ever q
Turk set foot in Europe had spread
as high domestic fashIon-nearly as
strong as that which now obtains
among the Ottomans-northward even
into Russia. Indeed, not this alone, but
nearly all the other usages of Turkish
society which seem most opposed to
modern Christian ethics and clViliza-
tion were prevalent throughout Asa
and, as regards most of them, through
out Europe, too-centuries before 9th
man first settled in Blthynia, and, with
hardly an exception, were found in
especial vitality in the lower empire by
Amurath and Mohammed ii. Eu-
nuchs, a necessary element of the
harem system, infested the court and
patrician palaces of Rome itself from
before the days of Elagabalus, and
twelve centuries later were still as neces-
sary adjuncts of the establishment OF q
Byzantine grandee as they now are OF
any harem in Stamboul. The "neutral, y
indeed, who waited on Anna Comnena
and the Byzantine ladies for 300 years
after her, were white ones from
Caucasus, between which and Constan-
tinople brisk slave trade had been
kept up centuries before the Cfescen.

These "vermin OF the E Ist, (" therefore,
no more came in with the Turk than
did the system OF which they form q
part. On the contrary, to the latter
belongs the credit of having at length
mitigated the social horror by select
ing its victims from among q lower
type OF humanity. Slaves Of this clas'

Till within few years ago their mutt.

end to this infamous industry, and thu
whole Of the small yearly importation
comes ready made from Kordofan anC
Darfour. Their high price, too, nov
limits their employment TO the imperis
