Life on Other Worlds.

Whether we turn our thoughts, says
one of the ablest of modern astrono-
mers, to planet. sun, or galaxy, the law
OF nature recognized as universal with
in the domain as yet examined, }, that the
duration Of life in the individual is in
definitely short compared with the
duration of the type to which the indi-
vidual belongs, assures us, or at least
renders it highly probable, that in any
member of these orders taken at ran
dom, it is more probable that life is
wanting than that life exists at this
present time. Nevertheless, il is at least
as probable that every member of every
order-planet, sun, galaxy, and so on
ward to higher and higher orders end
lessly-has been, is now, or will here
after be, life-supporting "after its kind"

Go and Cure Yourself.

Gen. John A. Dix once made pro-
fessional call upon DIR. Abernethy, and
of course got good advice, and being
wise enough to accept it, he lived to
see four-score years, q result of which
his dyspeptic youth scarcely gave prom
Use. After hearing few words of the
chronic invalid's lament, the eminent
but eccentric physician cut him short
with the following impromptu address: :
"Sir, you are pretty far gone. and
the wonder is you are not gone entirely.
If you had consulted common sense in
stead of the medical faculty, you would
probably have been well years ago. 1
can say nothing to you except this:
You must take regular exercise, as
much as you can bear without fatigue,
and modest quantity of plain food, of
the quality you find by experience best
to agree with you. There are few
general rules which any man of COM
mon sense may learn in week, such
as this: That rich food, high seasoning,
etc., are injurious. / can say no more
to you, sir; you must go and cure your
self"

Old-Time Food.

Some of the dishes of the Elizabethan
period are curious enough. Seagulls
were eaten; there was picked goose,
with cloves and ginger; soused turkey,
boiled in white wine and vinegar, and
soaked for month; spear puddings,
containing no pears, but made of cold
fowl or turkey chopped up with -four,
currants, eggs, cream, ETC., and then
fashioned into the form of pears and
baked. The stalks of tulips cooked
like peas, omelets of mallow stalks,
hartshorn jelly, pippins preserved in
Jelly, apple sirup, ounce cheese, can
died fruits, were among the delicacies
of the age. Still large number of
-ai-h~~ ~ore PrePared iust as they are
to-day. Thus we read of brotns ana
pottages, marrow puddings, black and
white puddings, fricassees of veal,
stewed beef, Scotch collops, chicken
salad, roast partridges, custards, cream
and cheese cakes, mince pies, whipped
0.~--~-. and syllahuhs which. .wara ,apa-
clsely In EiinNhethan what they are in
Victorian days.
In regard to meat, oxen and sheep
were not uncommonly boiled entire,
but when this was the case they were
divided into joints before leaving the
kitchen. Viands were also not uncom-
monty served in "coffyn cotes," as they
were somewhat unpleasantly called,
the coffin being of pie crust. Game
was often coffined; so was fish, inclui-
ing dolphins and porpoises. While our
ancestors reveled in fish, flesh, and
fowl, there was a marked absence of
vegetables.
Toward the termination of great
feasts spices were handed round with
the wine, and the spice plate was often
c--o-S"Ad or enameled. At tho
same time the drageors or comfit boxes,
full OF perfumed confectionery, were
passed about.
The waferers, or confectioners, who
were often Italians or Frenchmen, held
an honored place in the household, for
they were veritable artists, land were al
ways exerting their brains to devise
some new "subtility." These "subtil-
tiles" had often some hidden meaning;
not only compliments, but even sly
rebukes to heretics and politics were
conveyed in these "sugared emblems."
The liquid refrshment of Elizabeth's
time were many and varied, for besides
claret, sack, many kinds of beer, small
and,strong, there were the honey drinks,
metheglin and meath, or mead, cider,
hydromel, and strawberry and cherry
wine, and gillifower sirup with sack.
OF the metheglins and meads there
were many varieties, strong, medium,
and weak, higly favored, or perfumed.
Hops, rosemary, thyme, sweet briar,
bays, watercresses, pennyroyal, marsh
mallow, liverwort, wormwood, wild
angelica, saxifrage. Strawberries, and
violet leaves are only few of the fla
voring substances added to the hondy
and water.

cen: Grant has received the most deli
cate and heartfelt sympathy in his illness
and mlsfortunes from some of the Confed-
crate officers and soldiers who had known
him In the old army" said an intimate
friend of his the other day. And apro-
pos OF this is an incident which occurred
last year. When the news Of his complete
pecuniary collapse became public there
was very general expression Of
regret all over the country, and
many offers of assistance were
rendered, none of which, however, he ac-
cepted. was sitting with him at his resi-
dence in New York one morning while he
was going over his daily mail, when he
looked up with curious expression, and
said: want you to listen to this, and
then he proceeded to read. II was a letter
from an old officer in the United States
army whom Grant had known in Mexico,
who left the service about the same time
Grant did, and subsequently became a dis
tinguished Confederate General. The let
ter, as well as can remember, ran this way:
MY DEAR GRANT: You and 1 have
known each other for many years, and be-
cause or that long, and. in its early
days, intimate acquaintance and friend
ship, venture to ask you to do me a
favor. have read in the papers that, by
reason OF circumstances beyond your con-
troll, you have lost the means you relied
upon as maintenance during the balance
or your life. The favor l wish to ask is
that you will allow me to send you SIC, 200,
to be considered as loan and repaid at
your own convenience. 1 know you will
receive this request in the spirit 1 make it,
and the only condition couple with il is
that the matter shall be kept secret be-
tween us. Upon notice Of your accept
ance will send the amount to you in the
shape OF my personal check on the Bank
OF New York. Be assured, my dear Grant,
that you will confer personal favor on me
by permitting me to be of this slight SER
vice to you"
DO you know who II was?" was asked
of the speaker.
Yes" he replied, "but cannot give his
name. He is man of large fortune and
could easily have done it, but, respecting
his friends wish, Grant desired that his
name should not be made public have
never seen Gen. Grant show so much emo
ton and appreciation as he did in this in
stance. Shortly after that Congress passed
the bill empowering the President to retire
! former General officer of the army on
full pay, and Grant was at once nominated
md confirmed, and thus was put beyond
he need of availing himself of the pener-
BUS hberality of his friends.
There is reason to believe that the per-
ION who wrote Gen. Grant the letter men
ioned was Gen. S. b. Buckner, Of Ken

Michigan Harbors.

Lieut.. Col. Poe, having in charge the
improvements of rivers and harbors in
Michigan, has made his annual report TO
the Chief of Engineers. He recommends
that the channel at Limekiln Crossing be
made 400 feet wide instead of 800, as at
first contemplated. In the Saginaw River
it is proposed to secure channel of 200
feet in width, with depth of IA feet from
Saginaw Bay to Bay City, and IL feet
thence to the head Of the river, distance
of about twenty three miles. Hay Lake
channel in the Sault Ste. Marie River, Col.
Poe says, should be deepened to 20 feet.
He thinks fully seven years will be occu-
pied in accomplishing the results, "aud it
will be well to remember that the improve
ment will not become available until the
whole is completed. A large appropria-
ton is recommended for the Improvement
Of st. Mary's Falls, Canal, and River, be-
tween Lakes Superior and Huron. The in

A Republican Appointed Consul
General at Melbourne.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 20 y
Serious complaints are being heard
among Democrats over the fact that
Republicans are now and then recelv-
ing appointments from the Administra-
ton. 1t Is asserted to-day that Blaine
men are masquerading as Democrats
and actually receiving more consldera-
ton than the hard-shells; that many
applicants for foreign missions make
no pretense of being Democrats, but
are SIMPLY fighting for places without
alludlng TO politics, and that some Of
the Democratic politicians are repaying
past favors by giving their support to
certain clique OF Republican asplr-
ants. All these starting rumors ap-
pear to have grown out of the revela-
tor that James NJ. Morgan of South
Carolina, who was on Saturday ap-
pointed Consul General at Melbourne,
is a strong Republican, an ardent
Blaine man, and that he purchased .
pamphlet in New York during the
campaign, advocating Blaine on ac-
count of his foreign policy. 1t is said
that the Administration is surprised at
these revelations, but clear headed
politicians insist that the Admin
istrahon knew what it was doing when
it appointed Morgan. The appoint
ment was made at the instance of Mr..
Dawson, proprietor of the Charleston
NezoS and Courier, who asked it as a
personal favor, and said it was the
only thing he had to ask of
the Administration. Besides this, Mr..
Morgan's papers were signed by Sena-
tors Butler and Hampton of South
Carolina, and German of Maryland,
Hon. R. T. Merrick, and other proml-
nent Democrats. Senator Butler said
he had always known Morgan as a
Democrat, and was greatly surprised
TO find that he had written IN favor OF
Blaine. 1t is not likely that the discov-
cry that Morgan supported Blaine will
occasion his recall, his appointment
having been made, as 1t was, to please
the Democrats of his State. The best
theory for Morgan's appointment is
that President Cleveland intended to
again rebuke the promiscuous signing
of petitions, which, as he said in his
letter concerning the petition for the
Postmaster at Rome, N. Y, gives rise
to an unpleasant suspicion touching a
too prevalentsmethod of political hon.
esty. The defence which Senators
Butler and Hampton have is, that they
could not well get away from a
demand made by Morgan's brother in
law, Mr.. Dawson and his powerful
newspaper.

Pay for "War Article" Manuscript

The original contract called for four
articles from Gen. Grant-on Shiloh,
Nieksburg, Chattanooga andthe Wild
erness. The agreed price for these
articles was 500 for each, and this Is
the sum that ha5 been paid, Ifany one
doubts this statement, | can assure
him that | have seen Gen. Grants re-
ceipt for this sum for the Shiloh and
other articles. The Shiloh paper COW
ers about twenty one pages, more than
half Of which space is given up to Illus
trationS.
Gen. Grant. therefore. according to
his contract, received about $50 for
each page of the text that he furnished
and think no one will doubt that
he wrote the whole paper. Gen. Joseph
E. Johnston and Gen. Mcclellan. who
have written about the Peninsula
campaign and Admiral Porter have
also received $500 each for articles.
Gen. Mcclellan is an able writer, and
MS papers describing his connection
with the army OF the Potomac. discuss
not only the military side Of the gues-
,Ion, but his relations with the admin
istra.Ion as well, and narrates the De
tails OF interviews which he had with
President Lincoln and Secretary Sc
ward.

Arab Women as Fighters.

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
From the earliest period of their
history the women oil the desert tribes
were as celebrated for their skill with
lance or bow, as for that bronze beau
ty which the composers OF the quasi
dab or the moallakat were never weary
OF describing. Before Islam it was
the boast of many Arabian tribes, as
it was afterward of certain Tartar
hordes, that their women could fight
as well as the men; the Himaryites
were among the most famous OF these.
All through those ancient Arabian
poems, to which Mahomet Is said to
have referred as final authority for the
meaning of certain words or phrases
in the Koran, one finds legends of
Arab girls celebrated for their eques-
trianism, their dexterity with the
scimetar. and even for the number of
men they have overcome in single
combat. Islam, by subordinating the
woman to the aan, and destroying the
idea ofmale and female equality, did
much to extinguish the warrior spirit
OF the fair sex throughout the greater
part of the Orient, but in the deserts
of Arabia and Northern Africa, some
thing Of those ancient ideas still pre-
