An Ex-Consul's Story.

To ne Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle:
A late United States Consul at one of the
English inland ports, who is now private
resident of New York, relates the following
interesting story. He objects, for private
reasons, to having his name published, out
authorizes the Driter to sbstantiate his statement,
and, if necessary to refer to him, in his PRIV
ate capacity, any person seeking such refer
ence. Deferring to his wishes, l hereby pre-
sent his statement In almost the exact Ian
guage in which he gave it to me:
C. NJ FARMER,
1890 Third avenue, New York.
son nv last voyage home from England,
some three years ago, in one OF the Cunard
steamers, I noticed one morning, after few
days out of port, young man hobbl1ng about
on the upper deck, supported BY crutches ana
seeming to move with extreme difficulty and
no little pain. He was well dressed and OF
exceedingly handsome countenance but his
limbs were somewhat emaciated and his face
very sallow and bore the traces OF long suffer-
ing As he seemed to have no attendant or
conpanion. he at once attracted my sympa-
thies, and I went up to him as he leaned
against the taffrail looking out on the foam
"sExcuse me, my young 1rlend,' salo'
touching him gently on the shoulder, you ap-.
pear to be an invalid and hardly able or strong
enough to trust yourself unattended on an

voice, but require no present aid beyond

sunshine and the sea breeze
"You have been great sufferer, no doubt,
said, and judge that you have been al
ficted with that most troublesome disease
rheumatism, whose prevalence and intensity
seem to be on an alarming increase both in
England and America

For life in general there Is but one de cree. Youth IS bluuder; manhood q struggle, old age regret. Do not sup puse that hold that youth IS genIus;all tha: l say Is that genus, when young, IS divine. Why, the grea,est captains Ot ancient and modern times both c nquer- ed italy at five and twenty. Youth, ex- trCme youth, overthrow the Persian en- plre. Don John of Austria won Lepan- c. at 2j, the gteatesr battle of modern times; had 1t not been for the jealousy of Philip, the next year be would have been Emperor of Mauritania. GastI D de Fox was only 22 when he stood a victor on the plain of Ravenna. Every one remembers CUude and ROcrUy at the same age. Gustaveus AdOlphus died at 3S. Look at his captains: that won derful Duke of Weimsr, only 36 wnen he died. Bani,r himself after all his mIra- cles, died at 45. COrtez was little more than 90 when he gazed upon the golden cupulas of Mexico. When Maurice of Saxony died at 32 all Europe acknOwl- edged the loss of the greatest captain and the profOundest statesman of the age. Then there Is Nelson Give. But take the most illustriOus achievements ol civil prudence, Innocent III, the greatest of the pOpes, was the despOt of ChrIsteEdOm at 37. John Ce Medica WAS a cardinal at l.. and, according to Guicciardini, bafiled with his statecraft Ferdinand of ArragOn himself. He was pope as Leo \ at g. Luther robbed even him Oi hIs richest province at g. Take Ignatius LOyOla and John Wesley they worked with young brains.

But the regions occupied by the more ancient rocks, rising into rugged, forest covered mountains, offered an effective barrier to the march of the Roman iegiOns, and afforded a shelter within which the natives could preserve th-ir ancient manners and language witl b 1t little change.

CALABAsAs, A. T., April 18th, lSS2.- While the citizens of the more populOus places upon Ghe Pacific Coast have neen going Wild(e) over the too utterly utter too too lectures of esthetic Oscar. the denizens Of this village have not been without the pleasures of intel lectual entertainment.
 Prof. B. Franklin McKane, some time bearer of the cross and an occa- sional lecturer Tn the field of temperance in the behalf of the worthy order of Good remplars, being a sojourner amongst us and having beer solicited consented to deliver a course of two lectures upon insanity as developed by those twin off shoots of civilization. intemperance and spiritualism. l. handling the former subject in his discourse last evening tn. Professor advanced the very catholic idea that the moderate use of fluids was not only Tot injurious but at times highly bent ficial, and that it was the incorporate consumption that spread havoc and devastation throughout society. While the Professor may not be a bad man be is certainly not nautical one. In an allegorical manner he at tempted to describe the troubles attend ing a disabled vessel in attempting to make safe landing. The rudder was unshlpped, the compass was gone and the captain was overheard; III his frantic efforts to get the vessel through the breakers, the Professor was at sea and in deep water. The general impression left upon the minds of the audience was the one generally accepted at the front, that all stimulants are good but that some are better than others.
 Tn his discourse this evening he en deavored to reconcile the doctrines of Spiriiualism with the teachings of the Bible, the fact that the following IS stated in the Sacred volume, viz:
 "That in the latter days, yonng men shall see visions and old men dreams" and that "Now the spirit speak eth that in the latter days men shall de- part from the faith and give heed to seducing spirits aud doctrines of the devil, such as creep into mems houses and lead captive silly women," seemed tO h.ve settled tbe matter, and that there was no conflict. As the Professor touch- ed upon various topics in his disc curse the time of delivery was somewhat ex- tended. The portion devoted to Scien- tic research was very interesting, the principal question ventilated vas, (Which is better, instinct or uatureE The argument was that in the realm of instinct, each representative had its sphere-in this connection the Prof. referred delicately to the difference be- tween the spear" of the bee and the spear" of the wasp. but did not dwell to any extent upon either.
 The Prof. was listened to attentively by the audience, one or two enthusias- tic persons wished to propound a ques- tion occasionally during the delivery of the lecture, but the strictest order was exacted and observed. Yours truly.
