himself the tears streamed down
his checks. An aged chief sitting
opposite asked what he was cry
ing about, and was gravely in
formed he was thinking Of his
poor old father, who died a short
time ago. Presently the old fel--
low took a dip from the mustard
pot, and his eyes likewise proved
too weak or too strong for his
will. Then his young friend, in a
sympathizing tone, inquired the
cause of his grief Said the be-
guilcd one, c,"I was thinking it was

DOES GARFIELD MEAN GRANT?-Wo SEQ
our esteemed and sorrowiul and greatly mis-
taken contemporary. the World, thinks
Garfield in 1880 means Grant in 1881. Gen.
GarGold's election certainly means nothing
Of the kind. Whether his administration
will prepare tho way for Grant in 1884 de-
pcnds very much on the part the select body
known as "tho Grant crowd" plays in it.
If it should be pure and efficient admin~
istration, and receive as such the steady
support of "lhc crowd" in question, aud thoy
should successfully conceal their Datural
propensitics for four years, it would un-
doab,cdly strengthen them greatly, for tho
country is very indulgent and oblivious
towards them. Should they dominate the
Administration. however, with such case rs
to make self restraint and disguise seem un-
necessary, the country will be just as sick Of
them in 1884 rs it was in 1876 and 1880, and
will show it in the samo way. If Gen. Cars
fold will consider carefully the causes Of tho
Republican defeats between 1870 and 1876,
and Tildon's Northern Successes in tho latter
year, and the causes Of Republican recovery
since then, wo arc snro he will leave us no
cause for anxiety about tho nomination Of
1884, The Nation.

How Much Can n Man Eat?

The question asked by Il correspond
ent as 10 the quantity Of food necessary
to support life is, we suppose, rather i'll
tended as an inquiry as to the quantity
needed by an adult person in the or
dinary vocatjons of life. An American
soldier has daily given him % ounces Of
bread, IL ounces of pork or bacon, or 20
ounces Of fresh or salt beef, Is ounces Of
potatoes three times a week, l6 ounces
Of rice, with & ounces Of coffee 1.04
ounces of sugar, 0.64 Of gill of beans,
OBJ Of gill OF vinegar, O.l6 Of gill
OF salt. AS to the quantity of this
food it Is larger and more abund-
ant than would seem at first
sight to be necessary, but tue lihera6ty
II food has this great advantage, that, IN
time of hard work, the fatigue OF the
individual is diminished and the power
Of recuperation sensibly increased. The
total quantity, then, provided for a sol
der OF the United States army is larger
than is consumed by the general work
ing man. OF course, various conditions
Of life, climate and locality have to do
with the quantity Of food. Thus, an
idle person can get along very well with
two and throe-qGarter ounces of NJ
trogenous food and twenty ounces of
carbonaceous food (hesh and cereal or
vegetable food, when, if the same indi-
vidual were walking or in active out
door life, double this quantity might
be used. Perhaps the Esquimaux rep
resent the heaviest feeders in the
world, for Parry tells OF young
native who dcvoured III the twenty
four hours nine and lalf pounds of
sea-horse, half raw, half cooked one and
tlree-fourths pounds Of bread; one and
ole-fourth plnts Of good, strong soup;
one and three-fourth pounds of ship
bread; and nine pints of water, not
counting grog and spirits. Both Sir
John Ross and DIR. Hayes, from per-
soual observations, declare that the
daily ration of an Esquimaux may
range from twelve to twenty pounds ot
tiesh food. On the other hand, it is
quite remarkable how small quantity
Il food q man may eat, and still retain
his health, though, as to the point Of
mental visor en9enaered hy scants fare,
that IS Aotherquestion. Cornaro, who
wrote treatise on long life, subsisted
for fifty eight years on twelve
ounces Of vegetable uatter and fourteen
ounces Of wine per Giem, while another
ease il cited Of q man existing for not
quite twenty years on sixteen o.Hce8 81
-four per diem, made into some kind Of
pudding.-E&eha1tge.

Grant and Chandler.

1t IS said that at one time al animoslty
for while existed between Zach
Chandler and Ulysses S. Grant. When
Grant was "a lieutenant III the army his
station was for while in the old fort
near Detroit. When Grant was in com
mand of the post, board walk con-
nected the fort with the city, ahoat a
mile distant, and, as it fronted the prop
erty owned by Chandler, Lieut.. Grant
insisted that it was Chambers duty to
keep his sidewalks clear of snow in
winter, SO that pedestrians could use
them. Mr.. Chandler paid no attention
to this subaltern's request, SO Lieut..
Grant had Old Zach arrested and
brought before the Municipal Court Of
Detroit for violation Of the city ordi-
nance; and the impression is that
Grant had Chandler foul on both the
law and the evidence. At all events,
Chandler nourished very bitter feelings
against Grant, and no words ever passed
between them until during the war
Gen. Grant, while in command of the
armies Of the Union, happened to meet
the Michigan Senator, wien salutations
followed, and the friendship ba ween
them afterward ripened into mutual
affection and esteem.
Mrs. Zachariah Chandler, who sur
wives her husband, is stately, polished
and aristocratic lady. She was Miss
Douglas, of New York city; and though
she became the mistress Of large fort
une, she was retired and exclusive in
her habits. She was sdeyotedjy attached
to her husband and their only child,
while she was no less the idol of her

From seven to nine dogs make team,
