l772, landing ut Boston, whence he pro-
ceeded to New York. After a brief
course of study at Elizabethtown, N. j.,
he entered Kings college (now Column
bia)
The mutterings of the American Revo-
luton were then being first heard. Ham
ilton was naturally at first on the side of
the mother country, but study of the
wrongs of the colonists converted him,
and he was eager for chance to speak
upon their side. He did not have long
to wait for an opportunity. A meeting
IF citizens was called to take place in
the fields near the college building on
the 9th of July, 1774. While this meet
ing was in progress youth was seen
struggling towards the platform. When
he arrived there he mounted it, the
crowd shouting, ga collegian! A collie
gian" Then Alexander Hamilton, a
mere lad of II, poured forth an eloquent
speech in behalf of the rights of the
colonies.
After this, Hamilton advocated the
cause with his pen as we'll as with his
tongue. He was soon called upon to add
the sword. In the spring Of 17'6, when
10 years of age, he took command of an
artillery company of New York, and dis
tinguishcd himself at Long Island and
White Plains by his sallantry as COM
mander of this company. Then Gen.
Greene, whose attention was attracted
to the young soldier, procured for him Il
position on Washington's staff.
The most important task which fell to
Hamilton while aid-de-camp to the
commander-in-chief was mission to
Albany to obtain troops from Gen. Gates
after the Burgoyne campaign; task
which by his tirmness and tact he car
ried through successfully. While on
this mission he met and courtcd Miss
Elizabeth Schuyler, of a powerful New
York family, to whom he was married
in $780, She became invaluable to him
in assisting him in the arrangement and
care of his papers. These papers, con-
tanning many valuable historical facts,
she presented to the government of the
United States long after her husbands 8

There are great many more glass
eyes in use than is generally imagined.
At one time glass eye was conspicu-
GUS deformity, and many preferred to
do without such an unsightly substitute
for lost organ of vision. But now there
is such endless variety in color, size and
shape that when man or a woman
loses an eyo glass substitute can be-
provided which will defy detection If
the muscles are not entirely destroyed
by accident or disease, glass eye can
be moved to limited extent SO that
there is no cast or squint. Glass eyes,
are made principally in Germany, and

tho manufacture, besides which a great

WEAK SPINAL COLUMN.

A good deal of stiffening of the back
will be requisite before HARRISON can
be passed Off for JACKSON or CLEvE-
LAND. All the trouble about the cab
met building has been caused by the
demands of factions and sections and
the effort to placate them. A spasm of
Self-aSsertion was threatened when he
told the New York clans that if they
did not harmonic he would she gov
erned by his own Inclinations." In the
early times the cabinet men were aids
and advisers OF the president, agents or
staff officers to carry out his decisions.
Now they are the representatives of
factions and syndicates, whose chief
business is to distribute the patronage
to their friends and dictators. There is
no evidence that the president has con-
suited his own inclinationS in the selec-
ton of any member of the cabinet, pos
sibly except the good WANAMAKER.

CHINESE IDEAS.

Over slo,oOO,OOO was expended in the
festivities and barbaric splendors over
the marriage of the young emperor of
China with the first installment of his
wives. AT the same time a relief commit
tee was establishing soliciting agency
in New York city in aid of million SUBJ
Jects of the emperor who will die of
starvation before next summer unless
relief is sent them. as the pitifuI appeal
asserts. 1t is not stated whether the
emperor appointed the relief committee,
or is among the proposed benefciaries.
There is prejudice against allowing for
eign capital to build railroads in that
country, but probably donations of
money will not be refused Nodoubt it
looks to the Chinese like strange sort
of freak to want to give money to keep
people from starving. Life is about the
cheapest thing in China, and if a few
millions now and then are washed away
i'll floods or starved, it does not provoke
regret. There will be more for the rest

Our most reliable butchers are liable
to be imposed upon in this respect by
the Chicago and Kansas City meat VEN
doris, unless there is some sort of meat
inspection established and penalties
provided for the punishment of those
who sell unsOund or diseased meat. 1t
is really of more Importance to have a
meat inspector than an oil inspector,
and so far as the population of the
cltlesis concerned, even more important
than a system of grain inspection.
There is one clause of the SCHEFFER
Dill, however, which will probably meet
with serious objection. 1t is that which
confines the slaughtering of animals,
whose uncured meat is to be sold for
human food, to within two miles of the
limits of the city where the meat is
offered for sale.
This virtually confines the fresh meat
supply to local slaughter houses and
shuts out Chicago, Kansas City and
Montana beef. Upon the general prin-
ciple of encouraging home industries
this provision may be justified, and yet
it is doubtful policy to restrict COM
merce, even in meats. As rule the
food market should always be kept
open.

young men along the line whose hearts
want to go pit-a-pat too. So ticket is
prepared with marriage certificate on
the back, and the eligibles are urged to
buy these on their visits to the older
sections. A large rebate is allowed on
the return if the certificate is filled and
the acquisition is shown up in substan-
tial evidence. This would be a good
device for the roads running to the new
sections on this side of the line, as an
indication of the interest taken in the
welfare of the lonely young men, and.
incidentally. the promotion of an insti-
tuition found the main reliance in keep
ing society in good running order.

MEAT INSPECTION.

Senator ScHEFFER's meat bill is a
practical measure. 1t will not hurt the
honest butchers. and the dishonest ones
need regulating. There can be no
question of the propriety of a law pro-
hibiting the sale of unsound or diseased
meat, and there is probably more meat
of this description consumed than most
people are aware of. The flesh of an
animal that is oyerheated when killed is
always unwholeSome. The same is true
of the flesh of very young calf, and
the ScHEFFER bill wisely provides that
calves shall not be butchered until they
are at least month old. Then again,

meat of diseased aanimals being
exposed . sale in our markets.
