Good writing is not inconsistent with
good eating; for ones brains rather
thrive than suffer by needing the de-
mands OF healthy and hearty appetite.
To illustrate the folly Of the ETHEREAL no.
tions which young ladies sometimes form
of their favorte authors and poets, an
English paper tells this story of the way
poor Charlotte Bronte was once disen-
chanted of her hero worship. Thacke-
ray was her favorite author, and in her
lonely home on the mOors her imagina-
ton invested him with all the ideal
graces.
On visit to London, sho was lifted
to the summit of happiness by an invita-
ton to dinner where Thackeray was
to be one Of the guests. She was intro
duced to the great man AMI sat next to
him. 1t was red-letter day in her life,
and memory was on the alert to retain
all his bright sayings, and report them
to her sisters. Thac6eray, however. did
little talking but much eating. He had
recently recoverCd d from severe attack
of typhoid fever, which left him with a
ravenous appetite, while the dinner was
exceptionally good.
Challotte looked on in wonder at his
feats, and the surprise gradually changed
to disgust. One more idol had turned
to clay. If she had known the modern
law of the conservation of forces, her
charity might not have failed her.

MODERN ExrRAVAGANCE.

The Kings of to-day are growing eco
nomical, not to say stingy, and save
money, and seek "investments" " after o
fashion which would once have been
denounced as most unroyal, but which
probably has its root in a permanent
sense of insecurity. The late King OF
the Belgians left fortune worthy OF
Jew fnancier; our own Queen has
grown wealthy on the throne the Sui
tan, according to Mr.. w. Blunt, has a
heavy secret purse in England; the
King of Italy is an exact economist, and
the Emperor of Austria is, it is said,
never in debt. Still, this generation
remembers the Emperor Nicholas, who
spent 1000, 600 year on the imperial
household King Victor Emanuel, who,
with eight or nine royal incomes and
estates, never had q penny the EN-
peror Napoleon Ill, who frittered away
Gl, 600, GOO year, with little but rather
vulgar festivals to show for it and the
King OF the Netherlands, who scattered
in his earlier youth fortune "beyond
the dreams Of nv rice" popularity esti-
mated at Gl2,0O0,0 900, and probably
exceeding half that amount. 1t is not
fifteen years since week, visit to Com
peigne cost each lady GJ00-twenty- One
dresses at least being de rigew--since
it was impossible for French courtier's
wife to spend less than 81, GOO year on
her dress, and since q lady contested
before the courts of Paris bill for
ELS, 600 for dressing her for three years.
She had paid, says the Quarterly,
e12, 900 into court.
The carefully guarded privacy Of
modern life, too, conceals enormous ex-
penditures. We make very much Of
Crassus' bribes, but Lord Hardwood
spent G120,0 900 in one Yorkshire elec-
ton; 950,0OO have been given for q
great borough and the House Of Com
mons expends G2,000,000 every time it
is dissolved. We read aghast Of Neros
horses shod with gold, and OF Spanish
Viceroy driving into Lima with eight
mules all shod with silver; but a first
class racing g-stable in this country costs
ESQ, 600 a year, a "liberal stable for
great country house has been known to
cost $4,000 annually; the late Lord
Mayo's wine bill as Viceroy of India ex-
ceeded that sum, and any man familiar
with Cowes will point out steam yachts
which for every month they are afoat
cost el, 500. There a,e many men in
England who spend &l00, 600 a year prac-
tically on themselves and their families
and, if we were to include purchases, as
the writer in the Q'sarserty does, among
prodigalities, We suspect the ancient
world would be outdone. e.-London Spec-

THE BARBER.


Outline Sketch Of Professional Career.
The barber, children, is OF an extinct
species. The hair-dresser and tonsorial
artist of the present day are supposed,
however, to be descendants OF the bar
Der in direct line.
The barber is treacherous creature.
He is never to be depended upon. He
has been known to cut his best friends.
He is remarkably sharp in business
transaction, and will shave you il you
give him chance. In fact, shaving
may be said to be bis business.
The barber is strapping fellow, and
is ever ready to raise row. | have tre-
quently seen him takea man by the nose

He always wants his hone way, and is
always ready for brush.
Hehas his snortcom(Ungs, to be sure,
and is apt to stir up Your dander; but
he has very smooth tongue, and knows
how to lay on the lather.
He is generally honest in his iudg-
ments, and sincere in pooh"poohing
shams and dellsious; but at the same
time he is given to great deal of sham
pooipg.
I can't say that he was ever charged
with murder, but thousands OF people
dye in his shop yearly.
Formerly the barber was q surgeon
also, and used to be paid for bleeding
his customers Nowadays he draws
blood without eXt,a charge.
The barber secs Il great many af-
fecting scenes. There is a good deal
of parting going on every day in his
shop.
The barber seldom Uses nails when
shingling, though he may use them
when he comes to the scratch.
The barber is u very secretivo fellow.
You will find locks everywhere about his
pace.
He has very little recreation. Curling
is his chief amusement.
He always stands well in his profes-
sion. You will generally find him at the
head.

The barber has 10 sand great deal
from his customers. He does not care,
nowever, how much cheek they display
in his establishment, and The moro
chin they give hrn the better he likes it.

Though the barber may have no chill

the business still continues lively.

The wheat crop in Kansas will ag-

duced in the state.

A Sham Battle in New Jersey.

The sham battle at Camp Preston is
not the only battle that was anything
but a sham. At the G.. A. X. encamp-
ment, Princeton Junction, n. j., We'd
was attended by more direful results
than that in which the Vermont militia
was engaged. The contest is thus
described:
About five hundred men took part
in the battle, G.. A. X. men and the
militia being on each side in about
equal numbers. The companies repre-
senting the rebels were given possess
sion of the camp and had five pieces of
artillery with which to defend it, and
were commanded by colonel of the
Sixth regiment. The Union forces took
their position on knoll at the Oppo-
site end of the camp-grOund and had
three pieces of artillery. Both sides
threw out skirmish and picket lines.
The skirmishing commenced in lively
manner, and the god of war would
favor one side and then another, until
the skirmishers on both sides were
driven back and the two forces ap-
preached i'll line of battle. The Union
forces were repulsed by a vigorous
rebel charge, and the battle was waged
until the excitement of the combatants
carried them beyond the control of
their officers. The militia obeved
orders tOlerably well, but the blood of
the veteran Grand Army men was
reused by the smell of powder and
booming of the cannon, which were
continually throwing blank shells over
the heads of the cOmbatants. Both
sides charged tiercely, and the lines
came SO close that guns were fired
directly in the faces of the contestants
on each side. In the excitement the
old soldiers even dubbed their mus
kets and prepared for a real fight.
The ardOr was suddenly quenched by
the sight of wounded men lying on the
ground where the fight had been clos
est. Many of these were only slightly
hurt by wads or burned by powder,
and walked off without calling for
surgical aid. Thirteen, however, were
so severely wounded as to require the
attention of the regimental surgeon.
All of these were wounded by the wad-
ding from the guns, and none of the
wounds are dangerous, although sew
eral are very painful. Three or four
of the injured will be laid up for some
time, and others will carry hadly-scar-
red faces through life. Great excite
ment prevailed on the grounds, where
several thousand people were gathered,
until it was learned that none of the
wounded were likely to die. All agree
in blaming the Grand Army men for
their impctuosity.
