Friday, November 7, 1884. 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. Mexico will make a fine showing at the world's fair in -New Orleans. The federal appropriation is $100,000 and the State ap propriations swell the total to $200,000. Gnanajarto, Pachnea and.Zacatecas will send fine collections of minerals; the States of Central Mexico will send farm products, fruits, medicinal plants, woods, marbles, pottery, cotton fabrics, etc.; while the Fed eral District will be a liberal contributor to the department of the fine arts. All the Mexican publishing houses will be represent ed by specimens of their best work among them a history of Mexico written by her ablest authors and illustrated by her most distinguished artists. A specially interesting feature of the exhibit will be the -collection of Aztec relics, including casts of the sacri fipial stone and the- great calendar stone. At least two fine Mexican military- bands, those of the Eighth cavalry and of the sap pers and miners, will be in attendance, and an effort is on foot to secure the presence of a body of the mounted patrols or rurales said to be the finest cavalrymen in the world. 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. ELECTION RETURNS.

One of the neatest things said daring the campaign was the remark of the St. Louis Post-Despatch that "the enthusiasm and en terprise with which General Gordon tele graphed for $1,500,000 would seem to show that tne budan is an October -State." A stranger in a small town having lost his way accosted a gentleman on the street. Please, my good man," he says, "tell me the way to the postofifice." "I am not a good man," says the person accosted with conscious dignity, ' 'I am the Mayor." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Bill collector "How" about meeting this note?"

That will do just as well, won't it?" lexas bift ings. "That man," he remarked to his friend, as the third one bade them good-day and passed on, "lost $60,000 in a silver mine." ""Did he?-" "Ves, at least seu.OOU." "(iracious! but I wish I'd known it sooner. I sank $70,- 000 in an oil well and I know he'd have been awful glad to have had a talk with me." Detroit Free Press.

I suppose, now, your idea of the day of judgment is that you will have a table off at one side and report the proceedings for the morning paper." St. Paul Pioneer-Press. 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.

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." The Rev. Dr. Vincent will deliver a lec ture next Tuesday evening in the Methodist church, Middletown. Snbjeet, "inatuoy's Sister."

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. n-3 d&w lrn Great Sale of flour.
