HistoricaI Tavern.

 IL is not generally known, but il is a fact all the same, that to-day in Alex andria, builded around by a much larger edi6ce, but still kept intact in every ap- pointment, stands the tavern or inn where the fat, red d-faced, brandy-drinking Gen. eral Braddock passed the night prior to his fatal march toward western pennsyl- vania. The ina ;s ,s=:, =sll-h.:!. and thoroughly preserved building of two stories, with domser windows and roof. and seems solid and good for many years yet.
 When Bgaddock and his forces left Alexandria, they did not march over the road but moved by transports, and landed on the Maryland shore near where the National Observatory now stands Twenty-shird street. To-day Brad docks Rock can be seen near the old canal in that locality upon which the commander leaped from his boa, and superintended the landing of his soldiers and equipments From the site of this city they marched by way of Cumberland to their place Of massacre. Had Brad dock been half as prudent as he was brave he could, by acquiescing in the ad- vice given him by the buckskins," as the Virginia militia were termed, have whipsawed the French and Indians in that campaign. But as it is it is all the same, for he would have been dead be- fore this date anyhow.

People who ought to know better play
away the money they brought to live with
throughout the winter, and are impover
ished throughout their stay, living on
strict necessaries. This hear from the
Mentohe ttadespeople, who bewail the
daily loss they experience from this cause.
Many of their most respectable clients
lose so heavily at Monte Carlo in the early
part of their stay that they have to live
from hand to mouth during the remain.
der Many who come to the Riviera from
the North to save life, lose all their funds
early in the winter and have to return
home to face disease or perhaps death.
Other invalids, better off send again
and again for money, sell, mort
gage, borrow, entirely neglect their
health, spend the days and evenings
in the close, badly ventilated rooms, and
die before the end of the season. 1t is
very hard that people going to the south
for health should be exposed 10 such
temptation. In every hotel there is
band of gamblers who talk of nothing
but rouge and noir, OF numbers, of sys-
tens of play. These votaries of gambling
are not necessarily the young and the
inexperienced. They are often middle
aged or aged men and women, and noble
men, gentry, generals, colonels, barris-
ters, physicians. The demon of gam
bling has got hold of them. They come
from the four corners of the earth; and
the ruin that follows-bankruptcy, pow
erty, dishonor, suicide-mostly falls
upon them at home at New York, Rio
Janeiro, Batavia, Calcutta, anywhere. 1t
is said that during the winter about a
suicide a week occurs in and near Monaco.
If so, it is only 1.-THE of what occurs
elsewhere through Monte Carlo. For
whom is this royalty of e1OO,O 900 yearly,
this enormous income, raised2 Merely to
subsidize degraded prince, and to give
colossal incomes and fortunes to half a
dozen persons, who are ashamed of the
source from whence their money comes,
whom no respectable person would like
to acknowledge or receive as friends, and
to whom society only owes punishment
as inciters to vice.

Queen Cow.

A few years ago many people stood
ready to claim that cotton was king in
deed there are many gasping slaves to-
day who claim the same thing. Statis
tics are abundant by. means of which
this claim can be, in part substantial
ted, but very few people seem desirous
of claiming that king cotton ever did
much to improve society, education, or
condescend to fight such a vulgar thing
as a mortgage. Cotton may be king or
not just as people care to think. We
don't believe he is, but we. do believe
that the good old COW is queen, and that
with gentle and royal purpose she is
seeking to build uu the lands that the
old monarch has wasted. There is very
little style about the old cow She steps
slowly and clumsily about her bust
ness, but she makes the business pay
well. She plods along in heat or
cold, wet or dry, eating what is given
her, feeling interest enough in the
family to look after the dairy interests
under circumstances that would dis
courage any other living creature; and
when sheis fed and cared for as she should
be, she responds like a queen. She

pail and an extra feed of meal. The
good old COW has paid off more mort
cages, and paid for more farms than any
other known prodGtion. She is mother
of all our beef. In many a household
she catches the wolf on her horns and
tosses it far from the door. She has
turned the tide of agricultural prosperity
in many parts of the country from a
downward course in raising grain OF
cotton to an upper and prosperous one
in raising stock, grass and hay. Flowers
aud grass spring from beneath her feet
on the most barren soil. The old COW
don't stop to enthuse over them, but con-
verts them into good, solid, hard cash.
King Cotton may we'll tremble when he
sees good old Queen Cow marching in
| his direction. She comes marching along
/ in advance of better schools, better
morals, better farms, better men and
women. The dead old cotton fields will
burst forth into grass at her touch, and
eontentment and happiness will leap out
Of her milking pail. We take off oul
hats to Queen Cow. May her shadows
never grow less.-SOuthera Lige StOcA

Street Cars without Rails.

An Alexandria (Egypt) letter TO the San
Francisco EIdmiaer says: Here in Alex
andria, for the first time in my life. have
seen street cars running without the aid
of rails of any kind. The cars are like
our ordinary open summer cars, though
little shorter and are drawn by two
horses. The wheels are about twice the
usual diameter projecting up through
the floor quite conspicuously. They are
of wood, with iron tires. As the streets
of Alexandria are paved with smooth
blocks of stone, about two feet long and
one foot wide, in such way that the
lines of contiguity cross the street half
way diagonally and then reverse, they are
specially adapted to the locomotion Of
these cars. The cars must be light built,
and Judge that there are regularly ap-
pointed routes for them. They move
along at decent speed, and are not al
together uncomfortable.

NATURA NATuRANs.

Where'er my eyes may turn or senses range
Inspiring nature points TO life beyond;
And when the soul, with rays Of light that dim
The stars, dispe1s the haze that floats and falls
Athwart the rising dream of future life,
As tranquil seas endow the tranquil air,
Lo, from the depths Of premonitions wise,
Peace her glory sheds upon the heart that
says:
If life were not good for man, man would NOS
live;
If death were not good for man, man would
not die;
,Tis life's fulfllment that all things should
fade,
Again to live. Nature can ne'er destroy.
Naught perisheth, and all that's dust is life
Still with care shall we await the certain
change,
Like Fear mantled by her good behavior.

HOW 10 SIeen.

In a recent paper read before the Bos-
ton Society for Medical Improvement,
DR.. r.. NJ. Hodges. said: 1T is a common
impression that to take food Immediately
before going to bed and to sleep is un-
wise. Such a suggestion is answered by
a reminder that the instinct of animals
prompts them to sleep as soon as they
have eaten; and in summer an after dinner
nap, especially when that meal is taken
at midday is a luxury INDUCED in by
many. Neither darkness nor season of
the year alters the conditions. If the
ordinary hour of the evening meal is six
or seven o'clock, and the first morning
meal seven or eight o'clock, an interval
of twelve hours or more elapses without
food, and for the persons whose nutrition
is at fault this is altogether too long a
period for fasting That sdch an inter
val without food is permitted explains
many a restless night, and much of the
head and backache, and the languid,
half-rested condition on rising, which is
accompanied by no appetite for breakfast
This meal itself often dissipates these
sensations. IL is, therefore desirable, if
not essential, when nutriment is TO be
crowded, that the last thing before going
TO bed should be the taking of food.
Sleeplessness is often caused by starvation,
and tumbler of milk, if drank in the
middle Of the night, will often putpeople
TO sleep when hypnotics would fail OF
their purpose. Food before rising is an
equally important expedient. 1t sup
plies strength for bathing and dressing,
laborious and wearisome tasks for the
underfed, and is better morning 'piOk-
me up than any nackneyed 'tonie-'N

SUNSHINE AND SHADOW.

He came--the day was dull and dead,
The skies were cold and gray;
The slanting rain beat ON the pane
And blurred the tossing bay,
But oh, SO dear his tender tone,
His smile so sweet 10 see,
That in my heart the sunlight shone,
And all was fair to me.
Hes gone-the day is fresh and fair,
The skies are warm and bright,
~ robin sings; the blithe bee wings
Der fragrant fields his fight,
But dim and blurred through fearful sv
The sunlit bay sec;
For on my heart a shadow lies
And all is dark to me.
