ception. room, and goes rapidly through the
whole list. 1t is said that President
Arthur is compelled to submit to the nuis-
ance, but this is not precisely the case. He
can if he chooses decline to see very large
proportion OF those who solicit patronage,
and this he ought to do unless he really en-
joys the interview with chronic Office
hunters. But the system which produces
these results is the system which Presi-
dent Arthur's nearest and dearest friends
have upheld against civil service reform
with the most obstinate persistence, and it
has been said heretofore that the Presi-
dent himself had small belief in the ideas
of the " doctrinaires and " the
orists who wanted to do away
with the good old methods. The expe-
rienee Of every President, however, must
convert him speedily to civil service
reform, and the same kind of experience
would have converted Congress, too, if its
members could have seen any way out of
the political tolls with which they have
surrounded themselves while struggling
for their present positions. The President
no doubt has the worst of the spoils sys-
tenn, and as the great army of office seekers
is constantly increasing, the troubles of
the Executive expand in the same ratio.
In fact if he is at all weak man he is sure
to sink under the torture, and become a
mere instrument of the machine" for the
rest of his term. President Arthur is said
to be physically strong, but the work is
already too much for him, and he is
heartily tired of it. Under the circum-
stances we should think he would welcome
the idea of competitive examinations with
something approaching to rapture.

BERNHARDT.-The RECORD UNION Paris
correspondent says, speaking of Sara Bern
hardt and her book on America "Her
pride has until at present caused her to
bear in silence her many grievances, but
now that some hints have been whispered
about, she intends to make a complete ex.
pose of her entire experience, and no longer
hesitates in saying that she made no money
in America, was wounded and mortified in
her maternal affections and insulted as a
woman and what is perhaps the greatest
grievance of all, she was hunted to death
by newspaper reporters. These statements
have somewhat reused the indignation of
the French literati, who, although severe
towards the actress on account of her fol-
bles and caprices, nevertheless prize her
dramatic talent, of which they are extremely
proud. Many have been heard to unjustly
exclaim Americans are barbarians, and
understand nothing of the fine arts; they
have made no progress since RachePs
visit, who it is known cane back poor in
purse and miserable in health. This last
experience will teach stars to remain in
their own country, where they are under
stood and appreciated, or at least to- wan
der only in the haunts of civilization If
it is true that Sarah Bernhardt made no
money in America, the fault must be her
own, if not the management of her d.
rectors, or the unfair dealing of these last,
for the American people went to see the
French actress, and paid good price for
the privilege, even though they could not
always understand her language. Should
our Booth or any eminent actor or actress
come to France to exhibit their talent, it
is safe to wager that they would return
poorer than when they should come"

grounded report that ex-senator Sargent is

President takes, and it would not surprise me

THE GAsTRoscoPE American dyspep-
tics will be interested to learn something
about the Gastroscope," an apparatus for
illuminating and inspecting the inside of
the living human stomach The instru-
ment is the invention of DIR. Mikolicz, of
Vienna. The London Telegraph states
that ON the 5th,of last month it was ex.
hibitei to the leading professors Of the
medical faculty at the Polykhnik, and
the doctor performed some interesting ex.
periments with it upon female hospital
patient suffering from chronic dyspepsia.
It consists of tube, fitted with a set
of minute, but powerful refectors at one
end, and connected at the other with an
electric battery, by which brilliant light
is projected into the stomach requiring
inspection. This tube was passed down
the subjects throat, and remarked there
fully twenty minutes, during which time
the Viennese professors were enabled to
diagnose the condition of every part of
the mucous membrane thus lighted up
and revealed to their gaze. The gas
troscope is considered likely to render in
valuable services to the cause of electro
endoscopic investigation, which for some
time past has been prosecuted with ardor
by eminent Austrian Psychologists. a
number of ingenious contrivances for ex-
aiming the interior of the body have
been invented within few years, but
owing to their great cost, but few of them
have come into use.

BREAD FROM BARK.-It is we'll known
to the botanists that many plants besides
those commonly used for food, contain nu-
tritive elements. Nearly all plants contain
starch. The barks of several aspens and
pine trees contain SO much of this sub
stance that it can be extracted from them
as from potatoes by trituration with water.
1t exists also in the roots and other parts
of perennial plants to such an extent as to
have been employed in the preparation of
bread in famines. In Illustration of this
we quote the following directions, given by
Professor Autenrieth, for preparing pala.
table and nutritious bread from the beech
and other woods destitute of turpentine {:
s. Everything soluble in water is first re-
moved by frequent maceration and boiling /;
the wood Is then to be reduced to minute
division, not merely into fine fibers, but
actual powder and after being repeatedly
subjected TO heat in an oven, is ground in
the usual manner of corn. Wood thus
prepared, according to the author, &C.
quires the smell and taste of corn-f -four. It
is, however, never quite white. 1t agrees
with corn-f flour in not fermenting without
the addition of leaven, and in this case
some leaven of corn -four is found to an
swer best. With this it makes perfectly
uniform and spongy bread, and when it is
thoroughly baked and has much crust, it
has q much better taste of bread than
what in time Of scarcity is prepared from
the bran and husks Of corn. Wood -four
also, boiled in water, forms thick, tough,
trembling jelly, which is very nutritious. !"

NEW YORK, December 2Ssh.-The Times

California, and to Chandler, nominally of
New Hampshire. Why such man as Sar-
gent should be deemed proper person to dis
charge the very difficult and responsible du-
ties of the Secretary of the Interior does not
admit of any explanation beyond the latitude
of Washington. One would imagine that the
department around which gather half the
jobbers and schemers who desire to swindle
the Government would require at its head
man of unquestioned integrity and of excep-
tional strength of character. The President
has not been credited with having any such
man in view. but it is to be hoped that he
