SMOKING AND DRINKING.
The Habits Of II Prominent publi,
Engiishman

The illness of Mr.. Gladstone has clici
the usual number of complimentary ref
erences to his physical and mental pow
ers, and the advocates of temperance are
presenting him to universal notice as an
example of the benefits OF their creed.
He Is known to eat and drink with great
moderation, and he does not smoke. Lord
Beaconsiield was equally careful i'll thi,
respect, and was never known to Indulge
in 'the fragrant weed" The Tory chief
had II devoted wife who looked after his
home comforts" and Mr.. Gladstone is
similarly blessed The Marquis of Sails
bury does not smoke Lord Derby smokes
and drinks, and in the latter capacity
maintains the reputation of the historic
house famous for its good cheer" and
notably for its "fine old port" Sir
Charles Dixie, Mr. Chamberlain, Mr..
Smith, Lord Beaconsfelds First Lord OF
the Admiralty, and Lord r. Churchill
are great smokers. With the exception
OF the last mentioned gentleman they
have the physique OF men who can

should take care of himself. Time, gooi
health, and the discretion and patience
that should come with experience and

that an iilustrious Duke was to be of the

does not come. If misfortune should
happen, then the bird is not the less be-
lieved to have been the harbingcr of it,
and he is stigmatized rs n ka pen-land, n
crow of bad import but it would be
manifestly unjust to visit upon him pun
ishment for merely revealing the truth
that was in him. This species of augury
is not confined to the Mongolians /; Por-
phyrius told us long ago that the Arabs
listened to the crows, as the Tyrrhenians
believed that the eagle brought them
supernatural information. 1t is, at any
rate, much more to the credit of the bird
than the discussions between English
farmers and naturalists as to whether
rocks and crows do more larm to the
crops by seasoning the grain which they
indubitably eat with the grubs that are
no less deligent in the same occupation.
Such discussions are not merely useless,
for neither party ever pursuades, or has
the least hope Of persuading, its oppo-
nents they are positively insulting, as
implying that the crow is nothing more
than an ordinary bird, like any paltry
goose or common barn-door fowl, with no
higher instincts about him than to get as
much as he can eat, and that of the most
ouNois pOosipits BitbttSt
triumph, however, which the crow has
achieved-the more satisfactory as being
won over cold, unsympathetic, unbe-
lieving portion of mankind-i his appear
ance in Christian art, like the subsidence
of the devil of the old Morality plays into
the clown of modern pantomimes This
is primarily, no doubt, an allusion to the
ravens that fed Elijah, but it has extended
much farther. Thus st. Oswald is always
represented as holding in his hands n
crow with a ring in its mouth. ST. Bene-
dict appears with the same bird at his
feet, and St. Paul the Hermit is portrayed
with raven bringing him loaf Of bread
Crows are not likely to gain any more
such distinctions nowadays. Their ilout-
cd claims to sovereignty, their original
gay dress, and above all the cruel desire
to rob them Of the title of Spiendcns,
have it is to be feared, permanently de-
teriorated character never at any time
remarkable for virtue or even honesty.

In the neighborhood of Shiraz on hill
an hours ride to the northeast, the tra-
weller comes upon some wells which
would also seem to date back to the days
of the Great King, for the labor involved
in their construction certainly points to n
dynasty more magnificent in its under
tukings for the royal pleasure than either
the Parthian, the Sassanian or the Arab.
Near the top of this very precipitous hill,
with no trace of masonry to mark the site
of fort or palace, there yawns an opening
perfectly rectangular, about eight yards
by six, which is the mouth of well 60
ing straight down into the bowels of the
mountain. The shaft is cut in the live
rock, the sides are as perpendicular as the
plumb line could make them, and the
depth, as asccrtained by the time of fall
ing stone, something under four hundred
feet, the bottom at present being dry.
Within distance of fifty yards on the
same hill are two other similar wells and
local tradition asserts that there is under
ground communication among the three.
This theory finds support in the fact that
when pistol is fired at the mouth of one
of these wells with view of disturbing
the siesta of the pigeons who flock thither
uh NiN iicOhtitt tIc uolbt ihiitit p1
their wings, at first very loud gets gra-
dually fainter, as though the birds were
escaping through some lateral galleries.
They certainly betake themselves in some
manner away from the perpendicular
shaft without coming out at the upper
mouth, though there is no evidence to
prove that their exit takes place through
either of the other two wells. The labor
extended on the boring of these wells
must have been enormous If the object
was merely to secure the water supply for
some fort which originally crowned these
heights, one cannot see why shaft twen-
ty-four feat by eighteen, and so accurate
ly cut should have been required Were
they indeed wells, or wero they intended
us passages for the sudden exit of troops
from some fortress built here to hold the
plain in awe? In the latter case, some
sort Of spinal staircase would necessarily
have been attached to the walls of the
shaft, of which at the present day no
trace remains. Unfortunately for science
no traveller has yet visited Shiraz sufll-
ciently enterprising to go down the four
hundred feet of perpendicular side with
rope or ladder. Curious relics of bygone
times might certainly he fouad at the
bottom, but without a proper windlass and
better ropes than those now made in Ears,
the risk of broken neck would cool the
ardor OF the most venturesome antiquary
and so, up to the present, the pigeons
alone enjoy the sight of the secret trea-
snres which possibly lie at the bottom OF
these astounding shafts As we have said
before, there is now no vcstige of build
ing left on the hill to indicate in any way
the date of their construction, nor is there
any inscription apparent on the sides OF
any of the wells to aid us in our investi.

the cable announces that Judah u. Ben
Conicderacy, has retired from the English
bar. The career of this remarkable man is
us strange as any a master of fiction would
dare to inttoiuce INTO his works. When
Richmond fell and the confederate govern.
mcnt left the city in II body, Mr. Benjamia
and Jefferson Davis travelled together for
the trans Mississippi department, Soon after
Davis went to meet his wife Benjamin heard
of his capture, and giving away his saddle
and bride, he threw shccpskin over an
old nag and rode on it to the Gulf coast in
the guisc of Il farmer Coasling along in Il
small boat he arrived near Key West, where
he set out in small sailboat, and was almost
carried out to the deep sea by the Gulf
stream, With no food but II bushcl OF sweet
potatoes for three men, and 100 miles from
aud, hc WAS about giving up fpr lost when
the wind changed and carried the party
10 the extreme northern end Of the Ba-
hamhs
That man who had escaped from the
wreck Of tie Confederacy in "A pcnniless
condition should within II few years place
himself at the very front of the English bai
is indeed wonder. He reached London in
September, 1865, and was admitted TO the
bar in the following June. For two years he
SUI ported himself chiefly by writing for the
newspapers, but in 1868 he published hi;
"Beujamn on Sales" and the next yeal
made 81 800 in his profession. In 1872 his
income was $4,000, and since then he has
amassed large fortune. He is 20 years OF
age, and in n life Of prodlgious energy he ha
earned the retirement he now seeks. His
career At the English bar is the source o
much qualification to Americans especial,
at the South, but us he is of Jewish extrac
ton his success will afford especial satislac
tion to Jews.
