had great deal of trouble His relations
with the President were peculiar. They had
been close friends many years. They were
from the same state, and until the difference
es came between them on the eve of war they
had probably never earnestly differed. At
ter it did come they were very often seri-
ously at variance, and frequently Black
would be on the verge of resignation. AL
though he was very strongly opposed to
the position taken by the southern mem
bers of the cabinet, we all admired him
very much. There was great difference
between him and Gen. Cass. Casa was
one of the best old fellows that ever lived,
but he loved his ease and hated to differ with
any Que. l recall an Interesting incident
when he resigned. The next morning he
sent request that should call and see him.

asked ma why she didn't fly around and get
something to take that liniment off his legs,
as it was eating them right through to the
bone, and then he saw my chum put his
head in the door, with one gallus hanging
down, and pa looked at me and then he
said, 'Lookahere, If find Quit was you boys
that putupthis job on me, L make it SO hot
for you that you will think liniment is ice
cream in comparison | told pa it didn't
look reasonable that me and my chum could
be six burglars. six feet high, and boot-heel
marks on our neck, and pa he said for us to
go to bed alfred quick, and give him
chance to rinse off that liniment, and we re-
tired. Say, how does my pa strike you, as a
good single-handed liar?' And the boy
went up to the counter while the grocery
man went after scuttle of coal.
In the meantime, one of the grocery mans
best customers, deacon in the church,
had come in and sat down on the counter,
over the darning needle, and as the grocery
man came in with the coal the boy pulled
the string, and went out doors and tipped
over basket of rutabagas, while the deacon
got down off the counter with his hands
clasped, and anger in his feature, and told
the grocery man he could whip him in two
minutes. The grocery man asked what was
the matter, and the deacon hunted up the
source from whence the darning needle
came through the counter, and as the boy
went across the street the deacon and the
grocery man were rolling on the floor, the
grocery man trying to hold the deacon's fists
while he explained about the darning needle,
and that it was intended for the boy. How
it came out the boy did not wait to see.

BARON Won der COLI contributes 10 the
Deutsche Rundschau some speculations
about the next great war in Europe. He
believes that the armies will be far larger
than those which were brought into the
field by Germany and France in 1870.
Thanks to the modern development of the
feeling of nationality, the coming war, he
thinks, will not be war of policy but of
national hostility. Armies will assume the
character of great popular mgrations, and
Will be numbered not by hundreds of thous-
ands, but by millions of armed men, This
will diminish their mobility. Germany will
not again find an open country with excel
lent roads, and, however excellent her com
manders may be, she will not have the
chance again of advancing into an enemy's
country with such rapidity and success.
The characteristics of the wars of the future
will be slow advance, a constant bringing
up of reserves and defeat caused only by
complete exhaustion, flank attacks will be
made by armies, instead of, as in 1870, by
brigades or divisions, and the district used
as battlefield will be entirely devastated.
The feeling of nationality will also make it
much more difficult to end a war than for
merly.

THE idea is generally prevalent among
those accustomed to firearms that an air
space between the powder and the ball is
extremely dangerous. Experiments have
recently been made in Philadelphia on an
extensive scale, the result of which is said
to establish the contrary. 1t is asserted
that no sound rife or ball-gun and no we'll
made cannon will burst if the ball be left
many inches from the powder. Opinions
OF experts differ widely on the subject. AS
many firearms are not over-sound it is just
as well not to try the experiment. 1t would
be but poor consolation to a man who
should get his hand blown off to know that
the accident was occasioned not by neglect
to ram down the ball, but purely on ac
count of the unsoundness of the weapon,

THE Chicago Tribune, following the ey-
ample of the New York Herald, undertakes
to give some idea of the whiskey and beer
shopsIn the city where it is published
There are in Chicago S,799 licensed saloons
for the sale of intoxicating liquors, besides
numerous groceries, restaurants and disrep-
utable houses where liquor is sold without
any pretense of complying with the law,
SUFFICIENT, it is calculated, to bring the whole
number up to fully 5000. Estimating the
population at 100000, we have one liquor
shop to every 100 inhabitants-one to every
"a families. In the retail trade there is of
bakers, butchers and grocers a total of 2,761,
making little more than half as many food
shops as grog-shops, or one food store to
every 40 families.

A fast-day dinner was given by Mrs. viii
liam Armory of New York for Miss Ward of
Boston, at which the changes were rung up
on the tishy tribes until the brains of all
present ought to be polished and frightened
into the highest degree of brilliancy. Fishy
dinners, the Sun says, are very fashionable
this Lent, and are frequently given for the
entertainment of bishops and other dgn,-
taries of the church. AS they begin with
oysters and end with terrapin, it is fair to
suppose thai the reverend gentlemen are
able to endure the punishment Of eating
them. At one given not long ago a rather
startling innovation was made by Roman
Catholic hostess in the shape of canvas
back ducks for the concluding course. The

A CzAR's coronation based on bottled
beer is by long odds the most comical COM
mentary on the condition of the Russian
empire that has yet been elected. 1t would
be interesting to know why the number of
bottles should reach or be limited to six hun
bred and forty thousand, but it does not
matter much, and we do not care to peer
too closely into diplomatic secrets. 1t is,
however, quite as refreshing as the beer
probably will be to find the Autocrat of all
the Russias entering into kind of limited
competition with Bacchus and Gambrinus.

Khartoum, the capital of the Egyptian Sou

IF there were any chance that the conyen
ton for establishing uniform and interna-

of Europe, over which M. Challemel-La-
cour is presiding in Paris, would be attended
by some definite result, its proceedings
would be followed with general interest.
This, however, is improbable. It is much
more likely that the energies of the conyen-
