Owned to His Record.

The editor was sitting in his revolv ing cane bottomed chair when Tornado Tom, the travelling terror of Texas, came in and demanded retraction of the statement that he had swindled an orphan out of $4.
 "It's lie clear through" said the Terror, striking the table with his fist, "J'm as good man as smells the atmosphere in this section"
 Perhaps you are better," said the editor, meekly.
 "My record'U compare favorably with yourn," said the Terror, with a sheer; "perhaps there are few little back rackets in your life, sir, that wouldn't bear a microscopic investiga- tion."

A ReautifuI Shot.

The vale of Santa Barbara, for sixty miles facing the Pacific ocean. we con- sider the most attractive in California, says a letter from the Pacific coast. The soil is extra deep dark alluvium. By the formation of the coast it is shel- tered from the rude trade winds, else where so unpleasant on our shores. Here flourish in luxuriance the fig tree and the olive, the prune and the al. mond, the orange and the lemon, the nectarine and the pomegranate. Here grows Alfalfa clover, giving three cut tings year and pasture through the winter. Here flowers bloom perennial. Here only is paradise of roses and other fragrant flowers cultivated for commercial perfumery. Here the bee pastures all the year, the hivers gather honey every day and sustaining them selves they give to man nearly their whole production. Only in stress ot stormy weather they draw upon their hoarded sweets. Feathered songsters never migrate from this elysium. Man s dwelling is enli7ened by the chirp ot birds and their music gives perpetual cheer, unchecked by winter frosts. Happy, thrice blessed are they wEose lot is cast where happiness is se lightly wooed and won! Here in mid-Decem- Der the company's rose gardens are a sight to charm the.eye, when, day by day, children gather ever-bloomin g flowers for extraction of perfume for the tcilet.

Meat Versus Vegetable Diet.

The most plausible argument we have seen offered against the vegetarian for some time is contained in a recen 1 number of the Boston Journal of CAens ashy. It relates experiments of Pro lessor Hoffman which tend to show that far greater proportion of a meat diet is assimi1ated than of vegetable diet It is said five must consider not mere ly how much nutriment each puts into the body, but how much of it remains there and how much goes to waste. ; Professor Hoffman fed a servant on vegetable diet and found that not one half of the albuminous matter had been digested. The same man was next fed on beef, fat and four, and only one-fifth of the albuminous sub stance passed off as waste.
 Experiments of other physiologists are quoted that gave similar results. The writer then concludes that "the results of these experiments by inde- pendent investigators evidently agree in proving that much larger frac ion of nutriment is utilized in the case of animal than in that of vegetable food. They go far toward kno cking away the very foundations of vegetarianism by showing that our digestive apparatus is better adapted to deal with the form CT than with the latter."
 We are not rated vegetarians and do not take ohense when arguments are presented t0 refuse their tenets. But we would like to know what constitutes the true and proper food for man, and we have inclined to the belief that his normal diet in the perfect state would be vegetarian.
 The exreriments referred to by the Boston Journal of Chemistry are not logically conclusive. There is flaw in the pr cmises- or lots of room for one The men experimented upon had in all probability been raised upon a miscel- laneous diet, and their digestive pow CTS are an unknown quantity, and so the experiments cannot prove much un- person who has been raised as vege- taria1. As people are now, doubtless meats are digested with less waste than vegetables, and possibly it remains true for everybody but to determine just how much advantage of this kind is to be credited to meat diet it will be neces- sary to make large number of careful experiments upon fair specimens of meat eaters and vegetarians, trying each on the different kinds of diet and com pairing the results. The animal king dom furnishes abundant material for such investigation in different classes of carnivorous and herbivorous domes- ticated animals, which field invites the attention of practical physiologists who desire to settle the question. .-Dr. Foote's HeoUh Monthy.

A Checkerel Life.

The Leadville (Col.) Denaocrat gives the sad particulars Of a life wrecked by whisky. An old man named Joseph Ives died in saloon in Itead7ille just after he had taken drink at the bar. In his end it-seems was consumn 'ated as checkered history as ever fell from the pen of q novelist or r)mancer. The Democrat says:
 Years ago he entered Oxford univer sity., In his studies he had developed 8 peculiar and marked taste fer astrono. my, and at the conclusion of his term had studied the science of tho skies so long and we'll that 8 chair was offered him. This he accepted and filed for 9, term of years with honor to himself and profit to all with whom he was as- sociated. At last combination of dis tressing circumstances 1rred him to leave England, and he came to this country. is needless to trace how he came to this city four years ago, and was not long in drifting into the posi- tion of public charge. A little proper ty in St. Joe furnished him with a pit tance every month, and in the interim he was kept at the county poorhouse. It was pitiful, beyond all words, to see him seated among the paupers, listless and ..mtet unconscious of what passed about him. Now and then something would fit across hs face that seemed almost like arecoIIectlon of better an q brighter days, and then he would sink back into the dark eclipse again. They called him the professor, because oc- casionally he would speak in way that told his fellow unfortunates that he was one day better than they, and they treated him with something akin to consideration. He will be buried to- morrow at the expense of the county.

A Woman,s Romantic Life,

Elizabeth Hatz'er, who died not long ago in Philadelphia, was born in 179O, at Landou, then one of the French pos sessions, and when twenty years of age she married George Hatzler, 8 sergeant of cavalry in the French army. While yet enjoying their honeymoon the hus- band was ordered to join the memor- able expedition against Russia, and the wife determined to go along. Mrs. Hatzler was present at all the p1inci- pal battles and at the burning of Mos COW. After the promotion of her hus- band to the rank Of staff officer she had many opportunities to see the en- peror and on several occasions con- versed with him. An accident 10 her husband separated them from the main body of the al my at one time, and for nine weeks she dragged him on 8 hand sledge over the frozen ground. Through 3 guides treachery they were held pris- oners by the CossacEs for nineteen months. They were exchanged in time to reioin the French army and undergo the sufferings and privations of the dis astrous defeat which almost annihilated Napoleon's forces. Through all these vicissitudes the sex of the woman re- nained undiscovered d Mrs. Hatzler emisrated tc this country in 1846, and lived for twelve years on Fort Delaware while it was being built by Major San ders. Up to the time of her death she retained the full use of all her facul- ties, and it is said that since leaving the battlefield in 1874 she never suffert ] any results of her long exposure.

The Editor and the Smallpox Doctor.

It was nearly noon, and the city edi- tor in his sanctum was putting the finishing touches to the assignment book, while the waiting scribes in the Inter- Ocean local room were grimly pondering as to what choice bits of work would fall to them when the cus- tomary Book ready, gentlemen, J should be heard.
 The city editor had just decided that the church reporter needed little re- taxation, and booked him for a dog fight, when, in response to a rap on the door, he ejaculated in his blandest tones, "Come."
 The knocker came, and proved to be colored gentleman of affable manners and the medical persuasion. Said he, 'How do? ?" and the greeting being re- turned, he resumed:
 "You see, haven't been around late ly; been busy; little matter in the paper I was going to ask you to say something about for me; would have been up before, but been busy; so much smallpox about; I've been nursing one man with smallpox for eight days, and only just run away now to"

 And the city editor holIered for the contagious diseases editor and rinderpest reporter. This member of the staff, who draws 8 princely salary for doing balloon excursions in tho summer and epidemics in the winter, was absent however, having stepped out to buy sealskin overcoat.
 The doctor continued
 "Never mind, it's short; don't trouble; only an item. Bad case? Yes, as was saying, eight days"
 "Get out !"
 "Afraid of smallpox? There's no danger. After eight days"
