1t is wonderful what good appetites the
miniature people have. Tom Thumb ate
more than Chang, the Chinese giant Any
of the little felix will eat as much dinner
as a man six feet high Giants, as a rule,
have small appetites. When we boarded
Chang at one of the large hotels here they
thought he would eat great deal, and so
they charged him IS much as if he were
three men. Instead of going through the
bill of fare from beginning to end and
then repeating. he ate no more than the
average boarder Hungry Joe" could
eat more ut q cold lunch than Chang could
in a whole week 1t took three beds,
however, to make one bed for him to
sleep in, and so we did not complain at
paying SO day for his board
knew very rotesque-looking South
American dwarf, who used to be exhibited
as a wild man without language who fed
on raw meat, and who was incapable of
understanding even signs. Well, after
the exhibition was through every night
that dwarf used to go over to restaurant
and order all the French dishes on the bill
of fare, read Spanish newspaper, talk
French to the walters, and ask questions
of Americans in fluent English. He had
an enormous appetite. He didn't weigh
much, but he ate like an elephant he
used to polish off three apple-dumplings

by the census Office is into North Atlantic,

The Generals CRITICISM.

There was commotion in the place the
other day when Gen. Turnbul visited the
Battle of Waterloo" panorama. The
crowd did not recognize him for little,
as he was in plain Alta costume. When
they did the doors were closed and the
people fell back to give him good view
of the picture. They waited for the gen
erals criticism He surveyed it for a
long time, most critically. Twice or three
times he appeared about to speak, and the
crowd stopped breathing Twice or three
times the crowd were disappointed. At
last he appeared satisfied. He turned and
said in an impressive voice:
Il cannot see place on this battle field
where a man would be safe?"

[Scientilc American. !

People who use warm water bottles and
India rubber bags would find bag of
sand far more convenient The sand
should be fine, clean, and thoroughly
dried, then put into flannel bag, and the
bag covered with linen or cotton cloth, to
prevent the sand from sitting out The
bag may be quickly heated by placing it
Ia an oven or on stove. The sand holds
the heat long time, and imparts a more
agreeable warmth to the feet or hands
than warm water bottle.

A cable dispatch says: 1T is reported
that natives of the Hermit islands, in the
Pacific ocean, have eaten the crews of
two merchant vessels. 1t is not in the
interest of navigation to have merchant

prison here tomorrow. Coles is tramp He
got in the habit of going to the residence Of
Mrs Eliza Crompton, at Passaic Bridge. and
asking for something to eat One day he took
advantage Of Mrs. Crompton's kindness, and
assaulted her. She was quite badly injured.
Coles was arrested and put in the county Jail.
The moment Mrs. Crompton heard the tramp
vas imprisoned she began to act strangely. She
went to the Jail and told Coles she regretted that
she had him imprisoned. Her husband could
not stop her. She took the tramp fruit and
flowers. When Coles was tried Mrs. Crompton
sat in court constantly. She followed the pris
oner daily to his cell. The other day Coles was
sentenced to two years in State prison. Mrs.
Crompton wept and followed the tramp again to
the cell, despite the jeers of the spectators She
has made Coles promise to write to her fire.

him in prison at least once a month. Mrs

sion to start at once. and the slow march to the
Capitol began.
Mr. Buchanan looked grave and scarcely spoke
a word. Mr.. Lincoln was calm inscrutable and
self-possessed. His carriage was literally envel-
oped with guards. A current account says 1T
would have been impossible to have aimed a shot
at the President from any point of view, so
closely was he environed by the military"
Mounted orderies stood at every corner, and
galloped away with reports to General scott,
who remained at headquarters. There was but
little cheering along the line, the calm that por-
tends storm. hanging over the march.
When the presidential party reached the Capt.
toll theadiplomatic corps and the Senate had az
ready taken their places. They took their places
on the platform and the ceremonies began with
out delay. Mr. Lincoln stood conspicuously for
ward and spoke with steady and far reaching
voice. The gst of his inaugural is found IN
these words, addressed to the seeding States:
I'm your hands, my dissatisfied fellow coun-
trymen. and not III mine, is the momentous de-
cision of civil war. The government will not as
sail you. You can have no conflict without be-
ing yourselves the aggressors You have no
oath registered in heaven to destroy this govern
ment, while shall have the most solemn one to
preserve, protect and defend it."
He then closed with the words quoted in the
beginning of this article. The oath of Office was
administered by Chief justice fancy. Vice-pres
ident Breckenridge sat near by having scrupu-
lousy performed his duty as President of the
Senate, though his heart was already IN the
stormy South, whittier he was soon to follow
it with dauntless and devoted courage.
Within arms reach of Mr.. Lincoln stood Stephen
A. Douglas his sturdy rival from the old Sanga
mon days to the last splendid burst for the presl
dency. At Mr.. Lincoln's back was Seward,
another giant that the inspired backwoodsman
had shut out from the grandest prize of earth
