Capt. Ned Laurence, who wont from
New Orleans to Morocco, in the pay OF
the queer government of that country,
gives the following account Of his first
dinner:
We seated ourselves and were served
at once. Twenty eight dishes, without
counting the sweets! Twenty EIGHT
immense dishes, every one of which
would have been enough for twenty
persons, of oil forms, edOrs and flavors.
Monstrous pieces of mutton on the spit,
chickens with pomatum}, game with
cold cream, fish with cosmetics), iyers.
puddings, vegetables, eggs, salad-all
with the same dreadful combinations,

all this, large glasses of water, into
which we squeezed lemons that we had

tea, sweetened to syrup and finally, an
irruption OF servants, who deluged the
tables, the walls, and ourselves with

The Man of Destiny.
louisville Coarier-Journal. |

di.t
Hancock is man of destiny. Why,
just look at the record. In 1868 Gar
field brought bill into Congress to
drop the junior major general. That
was Hancock, 1t passed both houses of
Congress and was signed by the presi-
dent. But before it could be carried
into effect George H. Thomas, the senior
major general, died, and Hancock,
going up one grade, was no longer the
Junior major general, aud so the law
could not reach him. Then the Repub-
licans, still led by Garfield, passed an
act reducing the major generals to
three. This was signed by the Presi-
dent, but before it could be carried into
effect Meade died, ard major generals
were reduced to three by God Almighty.
Finally, a law was passed authorizing g
the President to drop one of the major
generals. Before it could be carried
out and Hancock be dropped, Halleck
died, and Hancock becoming the senior
major general, could not be dropped.
The man who survived all these at
tempts to retire him can not he retired.
The man who led them-Garfield-
rs a fitting consumation of his act, fall
a victim to his intended victim. Han
cock will be elected president. Garfield
will be retired-at least from the presi-

A Duck AS A TROUT FIsIEn.-As a
gentleman was fishing i'll a mill dam
below Winchester, Va, he accidentally
threw his line across a strong white
duck, which, suddenly turning round
twisted the leader around her own neck
and fixed the hook of the dropper-fly in
her breast. Thus entangled and hooked
she soon broke off the leader above the
dropper, and sailed down the stream
with the end of the fly trailing behind
her. She had not proceeded far before
trout, OF about a pound and half
took the fly efeetually. Ihen began a
struggle as extraordinary as ever was
witnessed-a duck at the dropper and s.
large trout at the end of the fly. When
ever the trout exerted itself the terror
of the duck was very conspicuous; il
hnttered its wings and dragged the fish.
When the trout was more quiet the
duck evidently gave way, and suffered
herself to be drawn under sorue bushes,
where the shoreness OF the leader did
not allow the trout to shelter herself,
The ducks head was frequently drawn
under water. BY chance, however, the
leader got across branch which hung
downward into the water, and the duck,
taking advantage Of the purchase which
this gave her, dragged her opponent
from his hole and obliged him to show
his bead above water. Then it became
contest OF life and death. The trout
was in its last agonies and the duck in
a very weak state, when the leader
broke and suffered them to depart their
own way.

'E'he Horrible Condition Of Ver-
mont.
From the Rutland Enquirer.

Col. WOrtIingtOn, who has been en-
ployed to gather statistics relating to
labor and wages in the various States
Of the Union, reports that the average
wages paid for labor in the State of
Vermont is considerably less than in
any State north of Mason and DiXon's
line.
Gov. Proctor, in a recent speech in
this town, stated that large increase
in the number of convicted criminals in
this State was a cause OF the greatly
increased cost of it's government. He
reported the number Of criminals to be
nearly three times as many as it was a
few years ago.
Judge Dunton stated in his charge to
the Grand Jury last September that the
amount paid for Intoxicating liquors
consumed in this State in the year 1870
was S6,700,000, and it had increased in
amount since that time. Now, this
would furnish to every voter in the
State forty five gallons of rum at 50 a
gallon, a quantity sufficient to keep
every one of them drunk 300 days in
every year.
Vermont has always been under Re-
publican rule.
Thus it would appear that the State
OF Vermont is remarkable for five
things, viz:
It has the largest per cent. of crime.
The lowest wages.
The least gain in population.
1t drinks the most rum.
And has the largest Republican ma
jority.

The Miraculous i'm ireland
IN. Y. 'Tribu,c !


The miraculous in Ireland has changed
it's base from the parish Church of
Knock to the Church of Mount st.
Vincent, in the suburbs Of Limerick.
On the western side of the building is a
large figure Of the Blessed Virgin, carved
in Caen stone, and underneath is a
window which gives light to an oratory
of our Blessed Lady, situated in that
part of the convent. This statute is
thirty feet from the earth, and in front
OF it are the play ground and an open
field extending to the boundary wall,
the land thus inclosed being quite level,
and including about one acre or more
in extent. On the feast of Our Blessed
Lady, says the local chronicle, the
weather was fine, yet the thunder pealed
with crashing sound, and the lightning
flashed with startling vividhess. On
the evening of that day the orphans left
the convent to play in the grounds in
front of the new buildings, and they
were told not to be alarmed by the
thunder, but to pray to Our Lady Of
Succour should they be frightened
With whole faith of Our Lady's protec-
ton, with which the little ones, like
their elders, are possessed, they passed
into the grounds, and proceeded in their
uer. Soon after the thunder rolled
along the sky, and the children at once
piously offered up their prayers for
safety to the Blessed Virgin. Then
they raised their voices, and sang the
touching hymn "Look down, Mother
Mary and While the beautiful music
of their young fresh voices was ascend
ing, one of the children suddenly called
cut, "Oh, look there" and instantly the
eyes of 300 others, her companions, were
turned toward the belt of trees to the
north OF the convent, and in the air
above them the figure of the Blessed
Virgin was belleld 10y all, attired in a
white robe, with blue sash around her
waist. The infant Saviour was borne
on her right arm, and a rosary depended
from her left. She seemed to rest on a
white cloud, upheld by two angels who
carried in their hands branches of some
description covered with foliage. The
children were spellbound, and involun-
tarily offered prayers to the Blessed
Virgin. After they had gazed at the
vision for about ten minutes some of
them ran to the convent to acquaint the
nuns, but before the good ladies had
arrived at the spot the Divine Appari-
tion had gone, the Virgin disappearing
evening; but on Monday evening the
manifestation was still more decisive.
While the children were again at play
one of their number called out to look
at the Blessed Virgin, and instantly al
most tainted. All eyes were directed
toward the statue on the top of the
building, and above it in the air the
children saw the Immaculate Mother
vested altogether in white, her hands
raised as it in the attitude of invoking
or expressing blessing or prayer, her
eyes cast down, and a silvery light sur
rounding the beatific figure. Some of
the children again fastened to the con-
vent to communicate what they saw.
and one OF the nuns who arrived first
on the spot heheld the Virgin also.
These details are, of course, given by
the sisters of the convent.

HancOGk and GaTfieid-An isll-
pOPtaAt Difference Between
the Two Men.

Gen. Hancock is man of correct, high,
| and noble instincts. Nobody disputes
that: nobody doubts it. No one imputes
to him a mean act during his whole life.
No stain of pecuniary corruption rests
upon him; nor any accusation of con-
duct of doubtful integrity.
| Such man in the White House will
naturally surround himself with men of
like instincts and of similar character.
Gen. Hancock would never knowingly
appoint dishonest man to office; and
if by mistake he should appoint such
a man, he would be prompt and decided
in rectifying the mistake by an un-
ceaemonious removal ag soon as it was
| discovered.
With Gen. Hancock President the
country would enjoy that substantial,
practical, desirable reform in the civil
service which naturally comes from
having pure, robust, upright man, in
tolerant Of dishonesty and of negligence,
at the head of affairs. We should have
! what is attainable Of civil service reform,
in substance. in place Of so much senti-
mental twaddle. without performance,
on that subject as we have now.
In these respects Gen. Garfield is the
very opposite of Gen. Hancock. His
training is that of the mere party politi-
clan. BY instinct and habit he is a
demagogue. His strength consists main
ly In the adrOit practise of the arts of
the partisan. For money he betrayed
his trust as q member of the National
Legislature for office he basely be-
trayed his confiding friend in the Chi
cago Convention. If elected he would
environ himself with low and venal
characters like Richard Harrington, who
is one of his prominent and most ardent
supporters. With a man for President
who has once dishonorably put money
in his purse, what sort OF characters may
we expect to see in subordinate places

seientious, patriotic voters of the United
between Hancock and Garfield.

Chaotic Mexico.
ISan Antonio tTeXaS) Express.

Our reporter yesterday met a reliable
gentleman of this city, who has just re-
turned from an extensive tour through
Mexico, and who gives vivid and i'll"
teresting account of the condition OF
politics. business and society in that
land. The result of the recent presi
detail election is not in accordance with
the will of majority of the more deter
mined class of citizens, and steps are
being taken to bring about a revolution
and to overthrow the Diaz influence in
the land. The press of the interior is
outspoken in charges that great frauds
were perpetrated by the DiaZ party, or
the party in power, in favor Of Gonzales,
and the Garcia de la Cedena faction in
the State of Durango, and at Mazatian,
in SinalOa, declare they will not submit
to the frauds, and that Gonzales shall
not take his seat. At Saltillo and MaZa
tian the people had already pronounced,
and many other towns are making ready
and watching opportunities to do the
same thing. Througout the country the
general impression is that there will be
war within the next two months, and
that it will he the most important and
the blOOdiest revolution the country has
yet seen. The election in Coahulla for
Governor passed ott,quietly, and resulted
in the choice of Evaristo Madero, the
enterprising manufacturer of Parras.
Madero had three opponents, but they
were not in favor with the masses, and
so he received a greater number OF votes
than all combined.

FFicsiinH.
IN, Y. Times.

Dr. F. S. Billings has recently written
highly interesting paper on trichinI
III hogs and in man. From this it would
seem that this disease, which most
Americans consider as peculiar to Ger
many, is in reality much more Prevalent
IN this country than elsewhere. For
examination of several thousand hogs
sent from various parts of the West,
Dr.. Billings found that on an average
one IN eighteen OF them was diseased in
this way while out of nearly two mil
lion hogs examined in Germany in 1876,
eight hundred only were found trichi-
nous. That this disease is not oftener
communicated to man in this country,
is W holly due to the fact that pork is
rarely eaten here until it is cooked. If
we were in the habit of eating uncooked
smoked pork, in ham Or sausage, as it is
commonly eaten in Germany, the mum.
Der of deaths that would be caused by
trlctlna would be alarmingly large.
The parasites are so small that their
presence can only be detected by mi
croscope, and it is estimated that in
eating what would be the ordinary
meal OF man of diseased pork, it would
be easy to take into the stomach not less
than one million trichinH. DR.. Trudi-
chum, IN reporting to the English Privy
Council, describes the symptoms of tri-
cinn!asls In man as follows Sudden
swelling OF the face, particularly the
eyelids, after the patient has for some
days felt prostrate and has lost his ap-
petite, (this swelling causes feeling of
tension, but pain y fever, with quick
pulse and copious perpiration the mus
cles are swelled and give great pain
when moved or touched. In worst cases
tbs entire body is immovable and sensi-
tive; there is diarlhea, with red, some
what covered tongue. Incliniug to dry
ness. When the swelling in the face
has subslded udema OF the feet, legs,
and thighs comes on; shortly after
anasafca, swelling over the trunk, makes
It's appearance" Although these are
the phenomena the disease itself ex-
hihlts, it is the opinion of experts that
the parasites that occasion them exist
in the muscles of many people, in num-
bers insufficient to produce material
trouble. Certain it is that in several
surgical cases of late their presence has
been discovered. DR.. Billings asserts
the surest way to prevent is to have the
pork, before cooked, cut in relatively
tllin slices. Frying and broiling are
the most effective means OF destroying
them /; roasting comes next. Boiling
coagulatcs the albumen on the outer
surface, and allows the heat to penetrate
less readily, and for this reason large
pieces of meat shonld he boiled for at
least two hours. 1t is not safe under
any circumstances to eat American pork
that has not been subjected to a strong
heat.

GARFIELD WORSE THAN JEFFERSON
DAvIs.-The Southern rebellion has
been called the greatest crime of the
age. Yet it had this redeeming feature.
Like crimes in the name of religion, it's
perpetrators were conscientious in their
fanaticism. But there has since been
greater crime committed, and that was
to rob the nation of it's inalienable priv
ilege of choosing it's rulers by the sacred
right of the ballot. And in this sub
version of the Constitution no man had
a deeper and darker hand than James
A. Garfield, and this with full knowl-
edge and realization of his guilt. For
this, if for nothing else, he will be con-
demned and defeated, and You will do
your part of the work, aided by thou
sands Of Republicans who will help you
redress the outrage. What was done

The arrival of emigrants at Castle
Garden during August exceeded twenty
FIVE thousand, number several thou
sand larger than that of the correspond
ing period in 1870. The first six months
OF a year usually bring much larger
aggregate of immigrants than the last
six but from the advance engagements
of steerage passengers it is certain that
September will witness an extraordinary
influx, while it is probable that the total
record of the year will be unprece-
dented.-[N. Y. Sun.
