Fremont's Sea.

General Fremont's project with regard to the
introduction of the waters Of the Gulf of Cali
fOrnia into u barren district on the confines Of
California and Arizona has the air OF one of those
90 imperial works" supposed to be especially
" worthy of kings but which, i'll fact. are
seldom executed save when taken up by the
people under the inspiration of their interest.
General Fremont declares that twenty-five miles
of canal cut in two different sections will food q
depressed desert, the deepest part of which is
three hundred aud fifty feet below the sea level,
and that the mass of water thus introduced into
a dried up country and kept there by the open
waterway, will so modify the climate of an ex-
tcnsive region as to prove of incalculable value to
the two States, and he further reports that this
will only cost about a million dollars. There
are no imprObabilIties or insuperable difficulties
in such 4 scheme. 1t is in fact the application
on a smaller scale in this country of the project
mooted for flooding a portion of the desert of
Northern Africa. Doubtless these depressed
sandy wastes are all the beds of ancient lakes or
bays, cut of from their communication by vol
canic changes or other causes of variation in level
and dried out by evaporation in the course OF
ages, and to food any of them would be a simple
feat OF engineering science, though the project is
somewhat startling simply by reason OF magni-
tude. But if it be true that this project will
give the advantages named. and will only cost u
million, California ought to be quite ready 10 do
1t herself.-N. y. Herald.

The following respecting the Maoris is from a
book recently published in London by Rev. j. Bull
Ter, entitled 80 Forty Years in New Zealand " 1t
is a popular opinion that the Maoris are dying
out. With many, l fear the wish is father to the
thought. No correct census has yet been regis
tered, but l doubt if they now exceed As 900,
whereas they once numbered at least 100 900.
The decrease is due to several causes Il. Their
intertriba! ,CdrS. From 1920 to 1910, it has been
reckoned that 80, 200 were killed in fighting
among themselves. 2. Wees imported ooith colo
n~isdtiOn, especially drunkenness and debauchery.
3. Their transition state, wherein they adopted,
partially, our customs, but neglected our precau-
tions. In their pristine condition, they knew lit
tie about sickness but since they have known
Europeans, the use of the blanket alone has been
Il great destroyer of health and life. With i'm
proving habits of diet, dress, and dwelling, it is
not too much to hope that they may We. 6 increase
and multiply In some places their decrease has al
ready been arrested but, whatever be their ulti-
mate destiny as a race, there will be Maoris in
the land for many generations to come. Perhaps.
the knowledge OF the English language, the use of
English customs, and the ownership of large es-
tates will, in course of time, prepare them for
amalgamation with their Anglo-Saxon neighbors.
In that case they will become extinct as a people.
And may it not be that, at a future day, families
of distinction, with all the pride of princely pedi-
gree. will trace up their descent to some famed
old Maori chief whose name is linked with savage
customs, bloody wars, and cannibal feasts p

Why THE YoUNG LADY LEFT.-A reporter of
the Cincinnati Enquirer was sent to q hotel to
interview General Sherman. The reporter sent
up his card, and a young lady attended by a
footman, who was also in the reception room,
sent up her card at the same time. The mes
senger soon returned with two cards from
General Sherman, and the clerk handed one to
the reporter and the other to the footman. The
reporter read the card that had been handed to
him while his hair stood on end, as follows
Regret exceedingly that l can't come. Give
my love to your mother and assure her l have
not forgotten old times. Hope the soiree will be
a success, as L am sure it will be. Pardon the
witticism when l say that yours truly is very
soiree he can't be present. w. s."
The reporter had just finished reading and
realized the mistake that had been made, when,
looking up, he saw whirl away the carriage
which contained the young lady. Just then a
card bearing the following rude inscription
dropped from the lady's nerveless hand and fut-
tered to the ground. Go to hi What do l
care about the army, the Chinese bill, the Coolie
trade, the Presidential question or any other
id question? Again l say, as l said in the
beginning, go there yourself. W s."

Mannerism in Style.

Almost every man has his tricks of writing,
which are apt to grow upon him unconsciously.
Sometimes they are so Insignificant as TO be IN
Objectionable, and yet they jar on the ear of
the sensitive reader. As almost everybody must
plead guilty more or less, we have the less hest
tatIon in abiding TO these, even at the risk of
laying ourselves open to retort. They may be
merely the unnecessary repetition OF some con-
junction which seems to hit the writer more
comfortably across the rift which yawns between
a couple of his periods. What strikes one more,
OF course, Is the reiteration OF some epithet or
qualifying adverb which Will invaribly force
itself to the front when the pen hesitates and
pauses. For the use of words Of the kind be-
comes well-nigh mechanical actually they may
serve their purpose at least as we'll as any other,
and yet we believe that the most careless OF
readers come to recognize them with a sense OF
irritation. What is more strange is the aztec
ton which writer's who should BE excellent
judges of style, and who have had an infinite
variety of literary practice, take for certain
phrases and turns of speech, which, to say the
least OF them, are singularly ungracetul. 1t
would be in vain for these eminent gentlemen to
MAKE any attempt at concealIng their identity
and We would undertake to draw up from
memory a catalogue of words and phrases which
should reveal the workmanship of any one
of them-unless, indeed, had they been put on
their guard and had cut their work to pieces IN
the revising for it is wonderful how some favor
lite phrase comes to fall naturally into It's place
in a sentence if you stop to change IL you check
the flow of thought, and are, after all, but IN
differently satisfied with its substitute. Should
any one care for illustrations upon the abuse for
mannerism, we cannot do better than refer him
to Thackeray's : Novels by Eminent Hands, or
to some of the parodies and extrayaganzas by
the American humorists, though these are want
ing in Ihackeray's more delicate discrimination

Apropos of negro wit and sharpness, l heard a
tale the other day of a Georgia colored trial JUS
tice which seems to me to be worth repeating.
1t appears that n white Democratic lawyer was
called to plead for one OF his clients before this
ebony Justice, and not fancying that the negro
had any mind of his own, prophesied an easy VIC
tory for himself. So, when it came to his turn to
plead, he sent to his library for II very large num-
Der of law books, and, arranging them on the desk
before him, began to search them and to turn
down leaves in each one. When he had thus
marked about two fat volumes, he began his plea,
and from time to time he would pick up a book
and begin reading an immensely long extract.
The colored Justice sat blinking, and showed evil
dent signs of distrust of his own ability to COM
prehend, for half an hour, when suddenly he
said I" Mas'r John, is yo-is 20 gwine ter read
in all dem books dat away"
Well, your Honor - answered the lawyer,
blandly. al wished to call your attention to a
large number of opinions pertinent to the case"
Mas'r john" continued the sable trial JUS
tice, 8 pears like dc mo- ye reads outen dem books
de mo- clouded like l gifts in my min. Now,
Mas'r John, l reckens dat l better decide dis case
on de equity an justice on it. So just leaf dem
books alone n come on at me-"
The lawyer did SO, but in telling the story
next day he said BLANK blank his equity and
justice. The niger decided the case dead against
me after all"
Evidently the colored justice was determined
not to be overawed by too copious use of law

Hygiene.

In a useful little book on The Hygiene OF the
Brain and Nerves. DR.. IlolbrOok, the well
known writer on Hygiene. has brought together
fwentv-eight letters from as MANY distinguishes
men and women, " describing their physical and
intellectual habits Mr.. William Cullen Bryant
attributed his having maintained robust health to
IN advanced age To hIs systematic attention 20
certain habits, prominent among which were an
hours exercise every morning with the dumb
bells and chairs, and n careful abstentiOn from
tea and coffee. William Hewitt, on tue other
hand, who has reached an equally great age in
the enjoyment Of equally good health, considers
the use OF dumb-bells and similar 1" artificial
practices supeThuOus, takes tea and coffee Tegu-
larly, finds the greater refreshmeut in both, and
never experienced any deleterious effects from
either, except in one instance when, by mistake
he took n cup of tea strong enough for ten men.
One medical practitioner has cured many cases OF
nervous depression by insisting upon his patients
eating larger supplies Of food than they would
take without a sort Of compulsion, and is OF
opiuiou that braIn-workers as a class eat too little.
DR.. L. l.. Nichols, on the other hand. eminent
IoudOn physician and writer on medical topics,
is convinced that people generally and brain
workers in particular eat too much, and declares
that he never felt better, and never did his work
easier, than while he was subsisting on q diet Of
bread, milk, eggs, fruits, and vegetables, which
cost sixty-eight cents per week. Several affirm
from experience that the whole truth about
health Is condensed into the old adage concern
ing early going 10 Deu anu carry Eslhs' WINE
Professor Huxley Is inclined TO say OF early risers
in general that they are conceited all the fore
noon and stupid all the afternoon.
The majority, OF course, attribute their health
and their power of work to an extensive observ-
ance Of what they consider the laws Of health {;
but thercare severalagaIn who attribute it to their
persistency in ignoring all such considerations
TO the care with which they have avoided &C
curing what Carlyle calls " the melancholy
consciousness Of q stomach" The one principle
Of health which may fairly be described as funda-
mental and universal is ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
not in its popular but in Its widest sense, not
only as applied to alcohol, tobacco, coffee, tea,
and the like, but in food, IN work, in the pursuit
of Measure, in e~xcitements, IN speech, in thought,
and. above all, in U0TTy-uhich kills oftener
and far more surely than work. The standard Of
temperance. and the special items which it will
include and exclude, must be established by each
man for himself and, as We have sand, cannot
be made the subject Of dogmatic aud inaexible
rules.
