Beauties Of Manhood.

To the boy, the world beyond his i'm
mediate surroundings is onlya picture. He
does not know how real are the sorrows,
the passions, the ambitions of men. Its abb
sorbing interests, its heroes and its martyrs,
are heard of by him without understanding
or with indifference. His sport, his lessons,
his home life, are alone real. But there
will come a change. The ordinary slow
growth into manhood, with its business or
professional pursuits and widening relations,
or startling events, such as the death of a
parent, or some intellectual or spiritual ap-
peal, striking out the latent soul, will make
vivid and earnest what was indistinct and
uninteresting.
Like stereoscopic picture before it is put
in the stereoscope, the life of man has no
body or reality but when the boy awakens,
as with the picture within the instrument,
so with him, solidity and naturalness will
be acquired by the external world, and he
will feel what it is henceforth to live and
move amongst these grander and grayer
forms.
Many mistakes will he commit, false esti-
mates will he form of proportion and per-
spective, the earnestness of his new concep-
tons will hurry him into extravagances and
generous errors; but if there is truth in his
nature, and nobleness in his spirit, just
views will be formed, and the day in which
it is given him to work will find him not I'M
mindful Of the responsibility which arises
from knowledge of the coming night.

A DIVERSITY OF OPINION.

Many controversies have at different
times arisen concerning the comparative
value of meat and fish food, and the utmost
diversity of opinion has been expressed.
Some economic writers maintain that fish
has no food-value worth speaking Of; others
say that fish food must occupy middle
position between vegetables and beef and
mutton. Again, a learned authority says
that fish, well-cooked, with oil or fat OF
some kind, or served with butter when
brought to table, "is chemically the same
as butcher-meat, so far as nutrition is con-
cerned." Another writer says that fish as
food Is only fit for children and invahds,
and is totally untitled to support health
and vigor of men or women engaged In La
borious occupations. AS usual in such dis
putes, we may hold that the truth lies be-
tween the two extremes. Many people
following laborious occupations, especially
in Scotland, live largely upon fish. In that
country, the fishermen themselves eat a
considerable portion, and, as a class, fisher
men are strong and healthy; and the wives.
who undertake part of the mans work,
are stil stronger and healthier. In For
tugal, fish fried in oil forms very large
proportion of the food of the population /;
their fsh-diet is supplemented by little
bread and fruit, and although the peas
antry of the land never partake Of flesh
meat, yet they are hardy, vigorous, and
brave people. Let it be remembered that
fish is necessity of life in France and
Spain, and as regards the latter country, a
constant organization is at work in oul
own islands to supply it with many kinds
of cured fish.

A Knot of Blue Ribbon.

A knot of ribbon, blue as the sky,
Fell on the floor as she nosted by;
And picked it up with tender care,
For had it not touched her golden hair?
Next day showed her my dainty prize,
Not more blue than her shining eyes;
TO her star-sweet face came the bushes fast,
Oh. loye-my love- how that summer passed.
With dewy mornings and purple ewes,
And sunlight 1ickering through the leaves,
While each glad day wore golden CLEAN,
And in all the glamour of Loves Young Dream.
Vanished to-day is the summers glow,
And softly, so softly the fakes of snow
Are falling over each hill and glen,
And the dear old ways that knew us then.
But Ihold you fast sweetheart, to-day,
Though the skies of December be chill and gray
And tenderly, as of old, prize,
knot of blue ribbon, blue as your eyes.

AN UNPLEASANT RIDE.

The morning train from the West, on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, stops at the
Relay House daily for breakfast. Among
the passengers on this train recently was
bridal party, the principals of which had
attracted not little attention by their bill
ing and cooling. After refreshing themselves
at the breakfast table, the bride and groom
went out on the depot platform and looked
around. The bride was suddenly seized
with desire to ride to Baltimore on the 10
comotiye; the newly made husband endeav-
ed by argument to deter her from such
rash proceeding, but he failed most utterly.
The newly made wife, as in most contests
where language is power, came off victori-
Gus; she having, by her superior volubility,
succeeded in convincing her husband that
it was extremely right and exceedingly
proper for a wife to have her own way, and
ride on dozen engines if she desired to do
so. The lady was placed in the engine cab,
but as there was no room for the husband,
he was compelled to take seat in one OF
| the cars, where he remained during the re-
mainder Of the journey in no very enVlable
state of mind. The result of the "chin mu-
Sic that had passed between himself and
wife made him unhappy. and he con-
sidered it very ominous; so much so, IN
deed, that all his dreams of connubial felic-
ity were transformed and he felt IN his
heart of hearts that in all similar contests
during life the superiority of his wife's
tongue would carry her to the front with
flying colors. While the unhappy husband
was ,neditating on the remarkable change
matrimony makes in feminine humanity
the wife was seated in the cab, half blind
with flying cinders, covered with ashes and
SCOT, and altogether more miserable spec
linen than the newly-married woman who
had a few moments before been fortunate
enough to tame her husband could not be
found. The rafting and jolting of the en-
CINE, as it dashed along at the rate of forty
miles an hour, shook up the lady so eKectu-
Clare, she became very sick, and the engi-
neer was compelled to carry her into the
tender When the train dashed into Cam
den Station, the husband jumped off and
ran to the locomotive, where he found his
wilful wife seated recklessly on a lump Of
coal in the tender. Her eyes were filed
with small pieces of cinders, her clothes
were begrimed with smoke and SCOT, and
she was very sick. The meeting between
the husband and wife is said to have been
very affectionate, and a carriage having
been procured, she was lifted down and out
of the tender. The train hands seemed to
enjoy the lady's unhappy condition very
much, and evidently considered the whole
thing huge joke. The lady was taken to
the Eutaw House, and, judging from her
condition, she will not want to ride on an
open engine for some time to come.

EARLY USE OF COAL.

At recent meeting Of the Historical So
ciety of Pennsylvania, Mr. William ]. Buck
read a paper on ''Ihe EARLY Discovery Of
Coal in Pennsylvania" which contained
many interesting historical facts. The first
mention of coal was in letter from Mr..
Samuel Tighlman, dated August IA, 1866,
which speaks of finding scanabundance of
small coal in the Wyoming Valley, which
may sometime be of great value" Obadiah
and Daniel Gore, blacksmiths, first put it
into use by using it in their FORCES about
ITO. From the Penn manuscripts, from
which these facts are drawn, it appears
that Pittsburgh was laid out as early as
1869, and that the existence Of coal in the
adjacent hills was known at that time; also
the fact that petroleum, which has so lately
been utilized, was known to exist in Ven-
ango county several years before there was
any knowledge of coal. There has been
much discussion as to who was the
discoverer of the Schuylkill coal beds, the
date of their discovery being generally set
down as about 1890; but this discussion
seems to have been unimportant, as map
dated l77O1ocated coal beds in Schuylkill
county. The first successful attempt to
burn anthracite coal in CRATES appears to
have been made by Mr.. George Fell, an an
cestor of j. Gillingham Fell, at Wilkesbarre
in 1903. The commencement of the coal
trade is set down as 1920, ID which year
three hundred and sixty-fye tons were sent

PUBLIC DESTRUCTION IN EGYPT.

The Khedive has offered the post of
Directory Of Public instruction in Egypt
to Mr.. Edward Thomas Rogers, late Her
Majesty's Consul at Cairo. and Mr.. Rogers
is now on his way to England to obtain
the consent of the Foreign Office to his
acceptance of this post. The Viceroy is
very DESTROYS that all the public schools in.
Egypt should be thoroughly efficient He
wishes the pupils not only to be taught
lessons, but to be well trained.

And, at the sound of her voice, he raised
his haggard face, with groan.
The sight, the sound, overcame her scru-
Piles. She fell on her knees beside him.
"You loved me for myself" she said.

a DANGEROUS BUSINESS. A young
man named T.. II. Gordon has become
posted upon at least one of the laws of
his country. Some time ago he left
California, and with all his worldly
effects in a dilapidated canvas mail
sack, he came to Oregon. He went TO
The Dallcs and there he was pounced
on by Il deputy marshal for having Il
mail sack in his possession, brought
to Portland and he was tried before
Judge Deady and fined $40 for an Of
fense he was ignorant of committing.
He got the sack in stable where a
lot of others were lying, and had no
idea that it would give him so much
trouble. The fine imposed was the
lowest under the law. The arrest and
trial of young Gordon will cost the
government about fifty dollars.

1t seems necessary for the leading
nations of Europe, in order to enable
them to live in peace, TO increase their
armies still more. The increase of the
German army will be followed by
similar augmentation of the military
establishments of other powers on the
continent. In France complete re-
organization of the infantry and cav
airy is purposed by the minister of
war In Italy, also, an increase of s.,
0OO, 900 in the ordinary votes of the
military estimates for issl is contem-
plated. Nothing has yet been said
about the increase of the Austrian
army, bacause Austria probably has AS
large an army already a. she can pos
sibly find means to support.

Report Of the GarcelOn Investigating
Committee.

AUGUSTA, Me-, March 1S.-The leg
islative committee, inquiring into the
conduct of EX-Gov. Garcelon and his
council, have made report. 1t states
that Garcelon, while evincing n will
ingness to disclose everything, was
intirm in his memory and failed to
give satisfactory reasons for his course.
When evidence was laid before him
he ceased longer to defend his count
ing out, and passionately declared his
own innocense, and declared that a
Judas among the council had done the
villainy. The committee says:
First-That returns were kept from
the candidates contrary to usages.
Second-During such time altera-
tiOns, erasures and forgeries were
made upon them for the purpose of
counting out republicans.
Third-During this time defects in
fusion returns were surreptitiously
corrected and atiidayits secured to
throw out the republican returns.
Fourth-In all such cases the results
were invariable; they counted out the
republican candidates and counted in
| the fusion candidates.
Fifth-This result was reached by
refusing republican errors t. be cor
rected.
SiXth-The rules laid down here
were strictly applied to reject republi-
can returns and not applied to the
count of fusion returns.
| Seventh-Many of these rules were
evidently invoked to secure fusion
legislature.
| ighth-These illegal and fraudu-
lent acts We're part of Il premeditated
plan to secure fusion governor and
legislature, and the govcrnorandcoun-
ell must have been parties to it.
Ninth-Ditferent appropriation by
the legislature have been diverted
from their legitimate purposes and in
many eases have been exhausted
Public funds withdrawn from the
treasury by Gov. Garcclon and his
council without warrant of law, have
been applied to unauthorized pur
poses and for unlawful ends. \ large
sum of money belonging to the State
remains in the hands of Gov. Garce'
iv,, ant UuiIer officials oT Iasu Neal
which should be converted back into
the treasury. The reckles>ness OF
management disclosed in the transac.
tions of last year tends to destroy pub.
lie confidence, undermine public credit
and introduce practices which if unre-
buked will prove fatal to the prosper
ity and progress of the State.
