Charles Kinr.Ier,s Belief.

The late Charles Kingsley, the emf
nent English divine, wrote as follows
to an inquirer who asked him for coun-
sell:
You are sanguine man, my dear sir,
who ask me to solve for you the riddle
of existence, since the days of Job and
Solomon, since the days of Socrates and
Buddha; the especial riddle, too, of
our time, with its increased knowledge
of physical science. But what I seem
to know will tell you. Knowing and
believing great deal of the advanced
physical science of Darwin's school I
still can say I do not believe in the
existence of law. claws of nature"
laws impressed" or properties i'm
pressed on matter" are to me, after
careful analysis of their meaning, mere
iargon. Nothing exists but will All
physical laws and phenomena are but
the manifestations of that will-one,
orderly, utterly wise, utterly benevolent.
In Him, "the Father" I can trust, in
spite of the horrible things see, in
spite of the fact that my own prayers
are not answered. I believe that he
makes all things work together for the
good of the human race, and of me,
among the rest, as long as 1 obey His
will. believe that He will answer my
prayer, not according to the letter, but
according to the spirit of it; that if 1
desire good shall find good, though
not the good which 1 longed for. And
law and necessity 1 look on as phantoms
of my own imagination, always ready to
reappear, but always certain, likewise,
to vanish again before one sound blow
of careful logic or of practical life.

The Rarest of Gems.

The rarest OF all gems is not the dia-
mond, which follows after the ruby,
This in its turn allows precedence to
the chrysoberyl-popularly known as
the cats eye. The true stone comes
from Cey Ion, though PliDy knew Of
something similar under the rame of
zimilampis, found in the bed of the
Euphrates. Can we wonder, when we
look at one of these singular produc-
tions of nature, with its silyern streak
in the center, and obseve, as we move
it ever so slightly, the magic rays OF
varying light that illumine its surface,
that it was an object of profound rever-
ence to the ancientsP The possessor
was supposed never to grow poorer, but
always to increase his substance. The
largest known is now in the possession
of MIR. Bryce Wright, the well-known
mineralogist. 1t is recorded in the
annals of Oeylon, and known to history
as the finest in the world. Two stars
of lesser magnitude shine by its side,
and we are informed that three such
stones are not known to exist else
where in che wide world.-London

Christmas Carol.

VII AAnNNAA9AD 1e4AN
Our walls are wreathed with trailing pine,
And hemlock boughs are leaning
Dark whore the blood-red berries shine
WITH leaves OF autumn'E cleaning;
Yet sh how pale the summer's.pride,
How barron field and fallow-
For why the year must be 80 wide,
And summer still so narrow
Our ohimney's glow with generous heat,
And all our lamps are burning,
We list the music wild and sweet,
With dance and song returning;
Yet oh the vaster, dark outside,
How cold and dumb with sorrow Il
For still the world must be so wide,
And Joy, alas 50 marrow
Our home throws wide its doors tonight,
Our threshold laughs with greeting;
with clasp as warm and step as light,
The cl1-time friends are meeting;
Vet Oh the few who stand aside
Bowed down by hopeless sorrow,
And weep that hearts should be 50 wide,
And love, alas so narrow
Nay, further press the strong desire,
The questioning, swift yet tender,
And lifted ever strangely higher,
Divine holier splendor;
On Christmas day, whate'er betide,
We'have no room for sorrow,
For though mans needs be e'er so wide,
Gods help grows never narrow.

Camels in War.

A very curious report on camels in
war has been published by the Russian
government. The reasons why camels,
which are so useful to commercial cara
vans in steppes, are SO useless in war,
is because the hours of rest and meals
for men and camels are different. Sol
diers rise early and march at once.
Camals cannot move until they have
been fed, so the camel drivers are
obliged to be up before all the rest of the
camp, and when the army halts camel
drivers must go with the beasts to
water and must supply them with
many buckets of water. Again, the
camel in war is overloaded and irregu-
larly loaded, and the burden irregularly
packed in war, all of which embarrasses
the camel, while in trade caravans the
load is always the same, and is always
packed in a uniform manner. More
over, soldiers soon hate camels because
of their disgusting habit of splitting
on people when they are angry. So
there is bred constant war between
man and beast, and naturally the beast
succumbs. The English in the Afghan
istan campaign lost $4,000 camels, the
Russians lost 10, 600 in the war of 1870,
and in the9 war of 1880, despite
every reform in the organization OF
camels, despite care taken to engage
good camel drivers and to pay them
we'll. camels collected in large numbers
could not bear the fatigues of cam
paign, and perished with "frightful
apidity,"

The GastrOseOpe.

Dr. Mikuliez, of Vienna, has invented
an instrument for illuminating and in
specting the inside of the living human
stomach. He exhibited his apparatus,
upon which he has bestowed the title CT
" gastroscope," to the leading profes-
sors of the medical faculty at the Poly
klinik, and performed some interesting
experiments with it upon female hos
pital patient suffering from chronic
dyspepsia. 1t consists of a tube, fitted
with a set of minute but powerful re-
Electors 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 remained there for fully
twenty minutes, during which time the
Viennese professors We're enabled TO
diagnose the condition of every part of
the mucous membrane thus lighted up
and revealed TO their gaze. The gas
troscooe is considered likely to render
invaluable services 10 the cause OF
electro -endoscopic investigation whien
for some time past has been prose
puted with ardor by eminent Austrian
cathologists.

What the JAMS Eat.

M. T. Van Buren, United States con-
sul-general at Jepan, presents some in
teresting facts in regard to the food of
the Japanese people. With a popula-
tion Of 10000, 900, there is to be found
in the whole country but little more
than !, 100000 head of cattle. OF these
only 100000 can be considered as fit
for food Therefore there are but two
head of cattle for each 100 people,
whereas in the United States we have
for 100 mouths seventy-three cattle to
fill them. Japan slaughters, however,
SO, 600 head of cattle, more than one
half of which is eaten by the foreign
population, the rest being consumed by
the Japanese navy and army. Mutton
and pork are, outside of the treaty
ports, almost unknown. Fish enters
largely into the food of the people,. Mr..
Van Buren mentions that ''cod, salmon,
herring, mackerel, salmon, trout, carp,
eels, skate, mullet, catfish and plaice
are plentiful and cheap" 1t is known
that the government has taken active
measures in regard to dsh-culture, and
endeavors in every way to increase the
products of the sea, sending for all
American publications on these
topics. The consul states that
one-half of the people ate
fish every day, one-quarter two or
three times a week, and the balance
perhaps once or twice a month" 1t is
their habit to eat great many varieties
of fish raw. But the Japanese are more
essentially vegetarians than the Chinese,
and all the land and marine plants, with
the tubers, seem to be placed under con-
tribution. Among exceptional food
plants Mr.. Van Buren mentions an
acorn which grows on a small bush
from three to four feet high, sit has
less sugar than the nut from the chest
nut tree of America, but has the merit
of being free from astringent and bit
ter qualities. Large quantities of these
nuts are gathered, dried and eaten by
the people in various ways" This
edible acorn would be worthy of intro
duction into this country. We hear q
great deal about glucose and dextrine
in the United States. and we find from
Mr.. Van Buren's report that the Japan
ese use in large quantities a substance
which they call anne. ''This is a pre-
paration made from matted barley and
rice or millet, the malt converting the
starch of the rice or millet into dextrine
and maltose, and the product varying
from thick sugar or honey up to .
hard candy. The same is sold at low
price, and its consumption is very
large.

The prospectus of the Memphis Jockey
Club is out, giving the stakes proposed and
other inform ton that will be of interest.
The people Of Memphis somehow do not
seem 10 have taken hold OF this matter as
they should. A weeks racing here in the
fall and the spring would bring thousands OF
people TO the city, and would benefit both the
retail and the wholesale merchants. In
Louisville, Nashville, Chicago, st. Louis, and
all the large cities, the ladies are nearly al
ways in attendance upon the races,
and the race course is the scene OF all
the phases of life. The best people
OF Memphis should encourage the Jockey
Club in every possible way. Stakes will be
closed September 10, 1882. The coorse will
be governed by Louisville Jockey Club rulee
The racing will last five days, commencing
October 7th. Two thousand dollars in stakes
and purses will be offered. The APPEAL
suggests that it would be well for some of
the other hotels to follow in The track of the
Peabody and get up stakes to be named after
them. The various clubs in the city and
the steamboats, ought to have their favorite
stakes. Tue following are the five stakes
