but after alt there is
nothing thai moves off

tion of this such as we
never saw before. We
happened ( owing to cir
cumstdnces which we
have explained in for

to have our trices rath

the advantage most un
mistakably. The pleas

chance as this is that
not only we, but our

COAST DEFENSES.
The important matter of coast defenses is
np for discussion again. The annual report
of General John Newton, chief of engineers,
calls attention to it in a forcible -way. Ha
points out the facts and gives . directness to
them by remarking that the levy which a
hostile fleet might make on New York alone
would be ample to pay for" the fortifications
which he nrges the government to erect along
the seaboard. We have no navy to speak of,
and even one of the little foreign powers, like
Spain, has armored ships whose entrance
into the harbor of New York could not be
successfully disputed, and the great and
rich city would be at their mercy. An
enormous ransom might be exacted under
penalty of laying the city in ruins. -There is
no danger of such an attack, it may be said,
and why provide against a contingency which
is theoretically possible, indeed, but beyond
the range of things to be considered by prac
tical men? That it is improbable is freely
admitted, but it is yet one of those contin
gencies which prudent men and nations do
not . neglect. As the Worcester
Spy well says: One of the great
European powers, guided by responsible
statesmen, having its vast burdens,
its eager and envious rivals, would be most
unlikely to undertake an adventure, so easy
and safe at the outset, but foil of unknown
dangers in its development. But a smaller
power, controlled by statesmen somewhat
reckless, because unrestrained by the sense
of responsibility which only the traditions
of the past and confidence, in the future can
give, might find such an enterprise irresisti
bly tempting. No doubt in the end -the
United States would make such an attack' a
most unprofitable venture, . but in
the---begrmring -the" - aggressor ' - would
have the " delight of commanding the
attention of the world; the commander
would win a personal distinction such as he
could not otherwise hope for, and his coun
try would have its national vanity and am
bition gratified as it could be in no other
way, while the United States would be hu
miliated and exasperated as never before. A
proud and strong nation confident of its
powers, yet defenseless and impotent before
a puny antagonist, would be an intolerable
spectacle to the citizens of that nation, and
they never would forgive the statesmen who
had allowed them to be placed in this humil
iating attitude.
Congress reassembles this month, and with
ample funds at its disposal. No wiser, safer
and more permanently useful form of appro
priations can be made than those recommend
ed by General Newton. They call for about
sixty millions of dollars to be spread over a
series of years, and this sum, General New
ton states, will prove sufficient to place the
leading cities of our coasts in such a condi
tion that they conld repel an enemy's fleet
without its having been able to bombard
them.
EDITORIAL NOTES.
"Mother, is the battle over?" j
From a report drawn np by Mr. Giffen for
the London board of trade it appears that
the consumption of sugar in England has
reached the enormous total of 1,083,000 tons
per annum, or 68 pounds per head of pop
ulation. ' The consumption has mounted
from 15 pounds per head in 1840 to 25
pounds in 1850, 33 pounds in 1860, 47 pounds
in J870 and 63 pounds in 1880.
The controller of the city of London, and
the city solicitor recently performed a curi
ous ceremony that has been handed down
from the Middle Ages. Having appeared at
the Boyal Courts of Justice a proclamation
was made in the following terms: '.'Tenants
and occupiers of a piece of waste grounds
called the Moors, in the county of Salop,
oomeforth ancLilo your notice." Upon that
Sir Thomas Nelson, the city solicitor, cut one
faggot with a hatchet and another with a
billhook. The next proclamation ran, "Ten
ants and occupiers of a certain tenement
called the Forge, In the parish St. Clement
Danes, in the county of Middlesex, come
forth and do your service." The city solici
tor, in response, counted six horse shoes and
sixty-one nails, the Queen's remembrancer
saying "good number." With that the
quaint ceremony came to an end.
The mrdir of Dongola, England's only
friend in the Soudan, is a slight, delicate
man, with a pale, pensive face, lighted np by
two large black, luminous eye, which seem
to be always looking in space, and from be
tween which projects a preterhaturally large
nose, hooked like a vulture's ' beak. The ef
fect of his extreme piety on the" Mussulman
population is very marked, and has enabled
him to maintain himself in power almost
within armstroke of the Mahdi. He is only
visible for a short time each day before pub
lic prayers, which all officers, civil and mili
tary, are bound to attend. On these occasions
ha squats on a carpet;' and, holding his beads
in one hand, places a large Koran, resembling
a family Bible, before him, while a' compan
ion squats in front, at the opposite side of
the room, holding a similar volume, from
which he reads. This personage is a splendid-looking
Nubian, over six feet tall, and a
cousin of the Mahdi, a fact which excites
much comment.
The Supreme court of Masachusetts has
just passed upon an interesting question re
lating to wills made by women. It is a set
tled rule of the common law that the mar
riage of a woman revokes a will made by her
when single. In Massachusetts, as in many
other States, this rule has been adopted by
statute, bnt since the enactment of the
statute testamentary capacity haa been con
ferred upon married women by the Legisla
ture. - In the case in that State it was con
tended that the legal effect of enabling a
I married woman to make a will must be to
confirm a will executed by her before mar
riage. The Supreme court. however, did
not accept this theory. It held that mar
riage revokes the will notwithstanding the
testamentary capacity of a married woman.
This view of the law has also been taken by
the highest court of this State, whose
statutes on this subject are similar to those
of Massachusetts.

According to a French paper there is a
German professor who maintains that the
reason why the sheep is so intellectually
backward and stunted as we know him to be
is, that the strain which the growth of his coat
imposes on his organism absorbs its entire
stock of energy and leaves none to support
the mental functions. And so it is with the
bear. The sagacity of the animal world is,
the Professor insists, the appanage of the
hairless creatures, and he instances the ele
phant and the serpent in support of his theory.
Extending his observation to inanimate
nature, he points out that tha grander and
loftier mountain summits are totally bare of
vegetation, while it is only the tops -of hills
and mountains of the second class that are
covered with verdure and are susceptible of
cultivation. And applying his theory to the
human race, the . Professor undertakes to
demonstrate that baldness is a mark of intel
lectual superiority. It is a result of the in
tellectual fermentation in the brain, which
gradually bulges out on the upper surface of
the skull. Baldness is not simply loss of
hair, as is vulgarly supposed; it is caused by
the excess of cerebral energy, which forces
the skull through and causes it to grow above
(he hair.
Mr. John Bright, having been employed by
the Sunday Rest association to denounce the
delivery of letters in the provinces on Sun
days, startled his petitioners by heartily
blessing it and recommending its extension
to London. He spoke concerning the matter
sensibly and humanely as follows: There
are scores of thousands of young men and
women in this country who are away from
their homes and parents, engaged in cities
and towns in the various occupations by
which they live. To these Sunday is to a
large extent a day of rest. It is a day on
which their thoughts naturally turn to the
homes they have left. It is the day on which
the letter from the loving bnt absent father
or mother is most frequently received, and
it is the day on which the absent son or
daughter has the greatest leisure to write to
the homff circle." "IFydur plan were adopted,
how many thousands of letters of wise and
loving counsel from parents to . absent chil
dren would be received in circumstances less
favorable for good than if received and read
and re-read during the quiet and leisure of
the Sunday? In cases of sickness or of death
the closing of the post would often be a
grievous inconvenience and a cause of great
and prolonged distress. I have known two
instances of it in my own family, and what
has happened in my case must have taken
place in many others.

AOMAKCE WRECKED..
Who says romance is dead? I heard
A supple-throated cat invoke
A song which all my being stirred.
And rung the welkin till it broke;
A song to a disdainful mate,
: - Which on my kitchen-window sate.
And did not seem to care a dang
How hard the furry songster sang I
The moon was on the smoke-house shed;
A night-cap quaint was on my head;
A boot-jack thick was on the floor,
I thought to stop forever more
That mournful song. Upon my toes
I from the window leaned; my nose
- Was greeted by a sudden balm;
I sneezed my heart, sit still; be calm !
' I fell upon the lonely cat:
Its throbbing tail I mangled flat. " '
- With tooth and claw ferociously
That lonely cat It fell on me.
My frightful anguish cowed my voice,
I aid not make a bit more noise.
. They had the furry songster, yet
The neighbors cried, "Take in your pett'v
' And Borne entreated me with bricks.
And others urged with stove-wood sticks.
All gloated o'er such fell mischance
To Him who'd violate Romance!

English, novels have made the . novel read
ing world familiar with the characteristics of
English country gentlemen, their hospitality,
their broad acres, and above all, the comfort
of their homes, writes a correspondent from
Mt. Sterling, Ky. Around their hearthstone
gather their friends from far and near, and
all the refinements of civilization are called
in to make them happy. It is the same at
this place. There is none of that pretentious
shoddiness which so disgusts one among the
wealthy parvenu es of the large commercial
centers. Comfort, not style, elegance, not
attempted show, are the rule. The house is
large and roomy, and seems to be meant to
accomodate a large number of guests, as no
doubt it does. Every room is a model of
comfort. Great feather beds inviting you to
slumber remind one of the good old Knicker
bocker homes about which Irving loved to
write. The fireplaces are broad, hearty and
hospitable, just the kind to make your heart
warm and fill yon with a feeling of satisfac
tion toward yourself and all the world. The
furniture is in accord with what yon would
expect in a home where comfort ruled, and
not show. Sofas made to sit on and to lie
on and not to look at are scattered about,
and are covered with rich and warm looking
rugs while bright and substantial looking
carpets are spread over the floors. The three
graces of modern civilization order, elegance
and comfort show themselves everywhere,
and the greatest of these, as my genial
host and his sister will tell you, is com
fort. Progress or Cremation In Germany.
From the London Times.
The practice of cremation appears to be
gradually gaining ground in Germany, their
being a steady increase in the number of
bodies brought for this' purpose to Gotha,
which contains the sole establishment in the
empire. It is under the control of the city
authorities, and the cremation np the end of
1883 were 84;, 17 in 1879, 16 in 1880, 33 in
1881, and 18 np to September 1882. All
parts of Europe contribute to the business
of the institution while several bodies have
been brought thither from America, in which
country the cost of fashionable interment is
great that it is but a slightly increased ex
pense to have the remains cremated at
Gotha. The principal items of expense arer
The removal of the corpse from the railway
station to the crematory, 30s., and the cre
mation itself 7 10s. There are several tor
malities to be observed before permission is
given by the officials. A permit has to be
obtained from the municipal authorities
where the ' death took place, and also from
Gotha, that the body may be removed from
one place to another, for without this latter
the railway company wouia reruse to una
conveyance. A corpse is not aiiowea to ue
moved unless incased in metal, ana zinc is
therefore prescribed.as readily melting under
the action of heat. This must be closed in
a wooden coffin of certain dimensions, so
that it may fit the receptacle in the chamber.
In case a funeral service nhould be requested,
a further change of 1 10s. is made. . The
Gotha establishment, which was erected in
1878, is very complete, and cost for the
machinery and buildings nearly 5,000. The
armaratns is made after the Indian model,
and consists of a large coal furnace for the
production of the gas, which is conducted by
a pipe to the heating chamber in which the
body is placed, this chamber being twenty
one feet in length by thirteen feet in height
and divided into two parts. The gas is first
of all let into the nearest section, where it
burns until a white heat is produced. At
thetime of the operation the body is lowered
into the second compartment and the gas
admitted from the other one, when the zinc
case rapidly melts, the garments being con
sumed, and the whole process occupying
about two hours. As it takes a day and a
night to properly heat the furnace, sufficient
notice has to be sent to the authorities.
Louis Napoleon at Ham.
The Memoirs of an ex-Minister, the Earl of Mai.
niesbury.
I found him little changed, although he
had been imprisoned five years, and very
much pleased to see an old friend fresh from
the outer world, and that world London. As
I had only half a day allowed me for the in
terview, he confessed that, although his con
fidence and courage remained unabated, he
was weary of the prison, from which he saw
no change of escaping as he knew that the
French government gave him opportunities
of doing so they might shoot him in the act.
He stated that a deputation had arrived from
Ecuador offering him the presidency of that
republic if Louis Philippe would release him,
and in that case he would give the king his
parole never to return to Europe. He had,
therefore, sent for me as a supporter and
friend of Sir H. Peel, at that time our prime
minister, to urge Sir Robert to intercede with
Louis Philippe to comply with his wishes,
promising every possible guarantee for his
good faith. The prince was full or a plan
for a new canal in Nicaragua that promised
everv kind of advantage to British commerce.
As a precedent for English interference I was
to quote Earl Gray's in favor of Prince Polig
nac's release in 1830. I assured the prince
that I would do mv best, but added that
Lord Aberdeen wae our foreign secretary,
and that there was nothing of romance in his
character. At this time Prince Louis was
deenlv engaged in writing the history of ar
tillery, and he took an hour in making me
explain the meaning of several technical
words in English which he wished translated.
He gave me a full account of his failure at
Doulogne, which he declared was entirely
due to the sudden illness of the ofiicer of the
day whom he had secured, and who was to
have given np the barracks at once. The
soldiers had mostly been gained, and the
prestige of his name in the French army was
universal. To prove this he assured me that
the cavalry escort of lancers who accompa
nied him to Ham made him gestures of sym- j
pathy on the road. He then said: "You see
the sentry under my window? I do not
know whether he is one of mine or not; if he
is, he will cross his arms; if not, he will do
nothing when I make a sign." He went to
the window and stroked his mustache, but
thers was no response until three were re
lieved, when the soldier answered by cross
ing bis arms over his musket. The prince
then said: "You see that my partisans are
unknown to me. and so am I to them. My
power is in an immortal name, and in that
only; but I have waited long enough and
cannot endure imprisonment any longer."

BURDOCK
BLOOD BITTERS.
Tlie Talk of the People Wlio JJme It
"A good medicine."
"Never had anything act so pleasantly gn the
bowels."
"One dose cured an after-dinner headache."
"One bottle did my dyspepsia more good than al
the medicine I ever used."
"Never saw anything so quickly cure a bilious at
tack." "A wonderful blood purifier."
"A perfect cure for all scrofulous taint.""
From Mr. William W. Jones, of Cardoino, Clay
county, Ind. For the last two years I have been
seriously unwell. It would be difficult to describe
all the little ailments that have united to render my
existence miserable in the extreme. Fains in the
breast a heavy, dull sensation in my head faint
ness at the stomach weakness in the legs kidneys
badly deranged restless ileep complexion sallow
strength all gone. Rendered desperate, I went to
the northern part of Michigan, hoping that a change
of climate would do me good. I got no benefit.
Last spring I went to the city of Terre Haute and
resorted to the artesian baths there for five weeks.
One day, glancingthrough the papers, I noticed an
advertisement of Burdock Blood Bitters. In June I
commenced taking this medicine, though, I must
admit, with little or no expectation of relief. The
result was, however, marvelous and gratifying be
yond measure. Since using these Bitters I have not
lost a day's work. They take right hold and the
effects are always pleasing.
