her, while she swore to he true to him, could 
uot leave him though he beat her and made 
her life miserable. ‘‘Her heart had gone the 
way of the hearts of drunkards’ wives; she 
loved in proportion to her misery, and gave 
an equation with what she lost'' is the way 
the author puts it. We would liko to publish 
the whole story. We can only say that for 
blunt and powerful pathos it has rarely been 
equaled.

Mu. Reade used to say that a woman “likes 
best a ruffian who ill-uses her, but with inter¬ 
vals of tenderness.” 
M.voamk Movueska says all she thinks of 
now is making money enough to allow her to 
retire to her California ranch. 
General Meade’s grave is marked with a 
plain, white marble headstone bearing the in¬ 
scription: “He did his work bravely and he is 
at rest.” 
The successor of Henry M. Jenkins as Sec¬ 
retary of the Royal Agricultural Society of 
England, is Ernest Clarke, chosen out of 10(5 
applicants. 
Dr. McGlynn is thoroughly naturalized, 
but he couldn’t help alluding, the other night, 
to the folly of the man “who kills the heu that 
lays the golden goose eggs,” 
The Tory forces in Great Britain are count¬

Parnell, the recluse and invalid. 
James Lick died iu San Francisco 10 years 
ago, leaving iu the bands of trustees an estate 
of about £3.000,000, to be divided among var¬ 
ious charitable and scientific societies. The 
estate is yet unsettled, but the trustees have 
drawn over $100,000 iu salaries and have paid 
out nearly £200,000 iu lawyers’ fees. 
CLAUS Spreokals, of San Francisco, the 
sugar king of the Sandwich Islands, is iuNew 
York with his family. He is a tall, robust 
man, about (50 years old, with rather a pleas¬ 
ant cast of couuteuance. Queen Kapiolani of 
the Islands and her daughter arrived in Liver¬ 
pool Thursday, and were received in a right 
royal way. 
Gen. George A. Sheridan says he got 
more money for less actual service than any 
other man who ever served in Congress. He 
was not admitted to his seat until about three 
hours before the expiration of his term, aud 
he drew salary, mileage, etc., amounting to 
about $14,000. Fie was also at one time the 
lucky holder of an office at Washington with 
a fat salary attached, aud when asked what 
were his office hours replied; “From two to 
three every other Tuesday afternoon.” 
Frederick William Nicholas Charles, 
Crown Prince of Germany and heir to the Im¬ 
perial throne, is reported to lie suffering from 
au incurable cancer of the throat. Born at 
Pots,lam, Oct. 18, 1831; married Jan. 25, 1858, 
Victoria Adelaide, Princess Royal of Great 
Britain, eldest child of Victoria, by whom he 
has had seven children. Frederick William 
Victor, the oldest, who in the event of his 
father’s death would succeed to the throne on 
the death of the present emperor, was born 
January 27, 185W, and has already four sons. 
The Crown Prince grcutly distinguisod himself 
at the battle of iSadowa, in the war between 
Prussia and Austria, iu 180(5, and commanded 
the Third Army Corps iu the Franco Prussian 
war of 1870-71. 
Major Ben; Perley Poore, the well- 
known Washington newspaper correspondent, 
and occasional contributor to the Rural, died 
at 12:30 a. m. last Sunday, at Washington, 
after two weeks’ illness. Born Nov. 2, 1820, 
at Indian llill Farm, live miles from New- 
buryport, Mass, where his family had lived 
for seven generations, and where his body is 
now burled: acquired by Ins ancestors iu 1650. 
Adopted journalism as a profession, and after 
his return, iu 1847, from five years of Euro¬ 
pean travel, ho beeuuie a Washington corres¬ 
pondent. Commissioned Major of the An¬ 
cient aud Honorable Artillery Company of 
Boston at the outbreak of the war, aud was 
assigned to the duty of drilling raw recruits 
there. Was appointed Clerk of the Senate 
Committee on Printing at Washington, iu 
18(52, and occupied the office continuously un¬ 
til his death. He was always deeply inter¬ 
ested in agricult ure, aud especially in forestry, 
and wrote much on the subject. An excellent 
likeness, together with a biographical sketch, 
appeared in the Rural of June 20, 1885. 
Who among the younger men and women of 
to-day have a clear idea of the famous “Dred 
Scot Decision?” We have had hard work to 
find a youug man who could givo a clear idea 
of it. The June installment of the laborious 
Life of Lincoln lias a very clear and concise 
statement of the main facts of this celebrated 
case. This chapter is a very valuable addi¬ 
tion to American history, but a monotonous 
feature of a “Life.”

There appeal’s to be quite a revival 
throughout Now England, of old anti-sJavery 
literature. The few remaining comrades of 
Garrison and Phillips are now regarded about 
as the “old forty-niners'’ are regarded in Cali¬ 
fornia. Many of the old books that were so 
popular before the war now have a fair sale. 
New England has always been intensely loyal. 
There is very little loss in the interest of the 
Decoration Day services. Indeed, iu many 
localities, the interest grows from year to 
year and many, posts of the Grand Army of 
the Republic are larger now than ever before. 
New England people are practical aud unsen¬ 
timental about most things, but all the beauty 
and poetry iu their fives comes to the sur¬ 
face ou Memorial Day.

The pictures of Napoleou iu the June Scrib¬ 
ner’s are very interesting. We can trace the 
ebauges that took place in his face from year 
to year. As a youug man Napoleon seems 
handsome and almost kind. Later in life the 
lines on his face grew cruel and stern. We 
have been taught to look upon Napoleou as a 
cruel and heartless soldier. The writer olkthe 
artic le iu Scrilmer’a declares that he was oue 
of the greatest statesmen of his time. He 
thinks that Ben Franklin would have been a 
man after Napoleon’s own heart.

It is strange that every writer iu the Forum 
series of articles ou “Books That Have Helped 
Me,” names .“Robinson Crusoe” as oue of the 
best. This is one of the old books which, wo 
believe, every boy should be permitted to 
read. We know of some parents who attempt 
to keep their lioys away from “Robinson 
Crusoe.” This is a great mistake. Such a 
policy well carried out, will manufacture 
“little old men aud women” at a lively rate.

Most of the leading magazines are now dis¬ 
cussing the subject of cheap food. There seems 
to be a very general idea that the proper way 
to help the poor is to sd discuss and illustrate 
food that they see how a dollar may be made 
to purchase the most nutriment. The idea is 
that poverty is not brought about because 
people do not make enough, but because they 
spend too much for expensive foods. Prof. 
Atwater’s articles in the Century are attract¬ 
ing a great deal of attention just now. They 
follow directly upon Mr. Atkinson’s elaborate 
statistics, and in fact supplement them, in 
the last Popular Science Monthly is an inte¬ 
resting article ou "Golio,” a food used by the 
inhabitants of the Canary Islands. This "golio” 
js nothing but fiour made from any of the 
cereals by parching or roasting before grind¬ 
ing. After grinding it is ready for immediate 
use. It is only needed to mix It with some 
suitable fluid to give it sufficient consistency 
to lie conveyed to the mouth. The Canarian 
laborer takes some "golio” in a small bag made 
of the stomach of a kid. At dinner-time he 
simply adds a little water, shakes up the mass 
and the meal is ready. It is estimated that 
200,000 people ou the Canarian Archipelago 
liveou golio almost exclusively, as their fathers 
have done from time immemorial. These peo¬ 
ple are remarkably strong and healthy. This 
“golio” is highly recommended to those who 
suffer from acid stomach. Those who have 
substituted it tor bread when troubled from 
that disorder have been greatly helped. There 
may be something in this plan of parching 
grain before grinding that will be well worth 
investigating. We all know how much pop 
corn we can eat without discomfort. Old 
Indian fighters and trappers tell wonderful 
stories of the excellence of parched corn. 
Many of these have gone for weeks without 
bread—a handful of parched corn taking its 
place.

The best temperance story of modern times 
is “Jack” by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in the 
June Century. It is one of the most power- 
fully pathetic bits of writing wo have ever 
heard of. The author does not call it a tem¬ 
perance story—it is ouly the biography of a 
fisherman she says. It is all the more cruel 
ami true because it is not written for effect. 
Phis rough fisherman with three generations 
of intemperance bred into him, with no 
chance to get out of his miserable life could 
not help being a drunkard. The poor little
