League island has existed as long as Philadel- | phia. It is on all the oldest maps. It origin- ally had four farms on the place, producing everything that land would grow. It has only been a year ago since the chief constructor of the navy was asked as to the necessary amount for building iron and steel ship mates he returned were £100,000 each for the New York.

I was seated in my office in the old War Department, now destroyed and re- placed by a better one, when my orderly pro- duced the card of “Mrs. Wood,” widow of the late assistant surgeon-general, U. 8. A., an old friend. She wasa daughter of Zachary Tay- lor. Her husband had been forty-four years in the army. Of course I instructed him to show the lady in, She was deeply veiled. then not uncommon by reason of the many dependent widows and orphans who thronged the national capital to appeal for help. She, without unveiling, handed me a letter in the familiar hand-writing of the venerable jen.

Zachary or. ‘Dear Mrs. Wood, what does this mean? t can I do for you?” She replied: “I do not know, but Gen. Hun- ter, our steadfast friend, has sent me to you.” And she went on to explain: “When my husband died. in 1869, I bes ears Thad estate enough to satisfy my moderate wants. I went to L@uisiana, took sseasion | of the old sugar plantation, collected a few of | the old slaves with promises of wages or shares, | tried to make a living. but everything was out of joint.

My old a are all dead and I know not what to do.” I naturally inquired how much money was necessary. She said $1,000, I had not the mone; eneral Hunter had not the money. «How about your pension?” “When my husband died after forty-four years of faithful service, I thought I could take care of myself and never asked for a pen- sion, but now my child calls to me from abroad.” “Mrs. Wood, I am sure we could easily make up a case under the general pension law which will give you $30 a month, but it can only date from the time of your formal application.” “What good wiil that do me?” she exclaimed; “my daughter is calling for me now!

Zachary Taylor.” “Ts it all right?” e “Of course it is all right, and every Ameri- can should blush that this thing could be.” “Well id Holman, “go ahead; I will be out of the way in the cloak room.” Watching opportunity, James G. Blaine, as member of Congress for Maine, got the eye and ear of the acting Speaker, made one of his most eloquent and beautiful speeches, intro- duced his little bill for the pension of Mrs. Wood for $50 a month, to date back to the time of Surgeon Wood's death (about four years) which would give her about $2,400 of arrears and $600 a year for life. It was rushed through the House by unanimous consent, and Blaine followed it through to the Senate and to the President, where it became a law, and this most deserving lady was enabled to go to Aus- tria to be with her daughter in her illness. I understand that both are now dead and that the overfiowing Treasury of the United States is no longer taxed by this pension, but I must rescue from oblivion the memory of this pure act of unrecorded benevolence. a Demolishing a Dude.

It is sometimes said that the influence of women on the politics of the world would put an end to war; but while they remain non-combatants we greatly doubt it. They are able to realize some of the re- sults of war—the empty chairs, the desolated homes, the mao wedrives: but they never see its coarser consequences. They never witness a battlefield after the fight is won—the wounded, the dying, the anguish of untended men, the fearful spectacle of human _ life trampled in the mire, and all the grim and dis- gusting incidents of the shambles of war, from the bloodshed of the day of victory to the spectacle later on of unburied bodies molder- ing in the sun. They read novels and poems that throw a halo around it all; they hail as heroes the men who return; they listen to the music of the triumphal entry; they watch the waving plume: the flaunting banners, and they invest with interest every man in the victorious array. Itis in this spirit of un- reasoning enthusiasm that beautiful women on thrones send brave men out to slay and to be slain—stinging with their taunts the princes who hesitate, and rewarding with their smiles the rash kings who stake their crowns on the issue of aday. Queen Nutalie, of Servia, is only the last of a long list of illustrious la who have burnt their fingers playing with the fires of politics and war. sai es Look on the Bright Side. IT WILL MAKE ONE FAR HAPPIER DURING THE YEAR JUST BEGUN. From the Boston Globe. That large class of people who grow gloomy toward the end of the year, and who make any reference to time an occasion for giving their speech asolemn cast, might study with profit the entries which are found at the close of the different years in the journals of George Eliot and Longfellow. The American poet has a heartiness and cheerfulness in his records which we should expect from one who always looked on the bright side, while the English novelist, although a constant victim of ill- health, was fully as successful in drawing pleasant and helpful lessons from the fleeting ears, ‘‘Ihavebeen helped,” she says, “in looking back to compare former with actual states of despondency, from bad health and other apparent causes. In this waya past de- ae has turned to present hopefulness.” She is fond of writing of the “dear old year,” and of noting what work she has done during the twelve months. and as she parts from her old friend she is sometimes sad, yet always has a good word for him. ‘The year is gone, with all its struggling and striving. Yet not gone. either, for what I have suffered and enjoyed in it remain to me an everlasting possession.” As for the poet, he never tires of apostro- hizing the dying year. “So closes the year,” een Se “peace to his ashes! Peace to the embers of burnt-out things; fears, anxieties, doubts, all gone! Isee them now as in a pale- blue smoke, ee in the bright heaven of the past year, vanishing away into utter dark- ness. Not many hopes deceived, not many lusions scattered, not many anticipations dis- appointed, but love fulfilled. the heart com- forted, the soul enriched with affection.” And again he exclaims, as another year passes by: | “Shake hands, old friend, I have learned much | from thee, and sung thy spring in prose and | thy autumn in song. And now farewell!” Although Longfellow’s memorandums are shorter and less practical than those of the novelist, they are more poetical. Only a true poet would bring an annual journal to such a close as this: “There is a strange, mysterious | feeling at midnight of the old year. It is asif some one were dying in tue darkness. But the power of astrong mind to triumph over sickness and trouble is one of the great lessons of George Eliot's life, and is no- where seen to better advantage than in the “last records” which she makes as the De- cembers go swiftly by. “I enjoy a more and more even cheerfulness and continually in- | creasing power in dwelling on the good that is | given to me, and dismissing the thought of | small evils,” is the entry with which she closed her record twenty years ago. Would it not be wise to try the plan of the great novelist for the coming twelve-month, | and instead of being worried by the smail evils | of life, dwell on the good that is given us? Such a plan, faithfully carried out, would re- sult in making 1889 a far happier year for us than would any number of good resolutions,, easily made and soon forgotten. He Didn’t Meet Them. MR.

The elevated cars were not running and the street cars were slow, so it was very late when latch keys were used. Ata meeting the following day it was resolved that never again would any member take the Broad- way street cars after 12 o'clock. nor under any circumstances whatever be induced to go to South Ferry and depend upon the boats, An- other resolution was that the officials of the Brooklyn elevated roads were to be petitioned to keep cars running until 1 o’clock at night.

From Table Talk. The table is, however, the place where most waste can occur, so guard it well and pay strict attention to the second serving of food. The people who prefer an economical table, which, in their own mind, means broiled steak and roast beef, are the most difficult to cater for. Study to make the warmed-over dishes de- cidedly more than ordinary hashes. Employ judicious combinations and pleasant season- ings; for instance, use sage with warmed-over pork, parsley with poultry, sprig of mint with your mutton or lamb, anda little onion to stimulate the beef. Cucumber catsup, inex- ensive if you make it yourself. heightens the Havor of fish. An acid jelly with tame duck, and tomato sauce with warmed-over veal. For warm- ing over dark meats use brown sauces, made from browned butter and flour; for white meats, | cream sauces, which, of course, can be made from milk. One or two potatoes, left from dinner, will make a comfortable dish of Lyon- naise potatoes for breakfast. The two table- spoonfuls of green peas left may be turned into an omelet for another meal. Boiled rice may be made into croquettes. Fish into scallops, cutlets or cream fish. Ham into croquettes. Beef into hash, meat balls, ragouts, rissoles, or warmed up in its own gravy. Soup meat may be eae or potted. Game and duck, made over into salmis. Chicken and turkey, into salads, croquettes, rissoles, boudins and tim- bale. Pieces of bread, left at the table, may be used for toast, croutons, bread puddings, or crumbs for breading. Veal. rewarmed, makes delicious blanquette or cromesqui. Many vegetables suffer but little from a sec- uan- tity, may be served as a garnish for a little méat dish, thereby rendering it palatable and sightly. ‘n all these little points we must be on the alert, or the garbage-bucket will devour our substance, Those who have the responsibility of the household management must not forget | the necessity of practical work in the kitchen. The power of giving directions so clearly that the maid will from them produce the desired results, is, perhaps, all that is required in some cases, but to teach others thoroughly, so that no waste will occur, one rust be able to do the thing one’s self. It is well to give at least one hour a day to the study of cool ing as an exper- imental science, also to study the chemistry and physiology of food, and Ihave no hesita- tion in saying that in three months you will be well repaid for the time thus spent. Look, for instance, at a combination like this—roast pork and mashed potatoes, such occurs frequently in families of some intelligence, but nothing shows one’s ignorance so quickly as such menus, Pork and beans or peas show some sense, but pork and potatoes none. No domestic art shows so much thought. care, judgment, intel- ligence, inventiveness, and taste as good cook- ing. enter their own city gates by midnight. 13-1m* 3122 Pst. aw. > (OMMENT PARLE A PARIS LA BO!

DOES NOT SEEM TO WORRY ABOUT THE TERRIBLE CHARGE AGAINST HER. Onancock,Va., Special to the Baltimore American. The refusal of State Chemist Taylor to ana- |lyze the stomach of Wm. Laylor, who died in | this county several weeks ago from the effects of poison, has postponed the trial of Mrs. Tay- j lor, his widow, to the January term of the county court. In the meanwhile Mrs. Taylor | is spending her time in jail. Crowds of peo- ple have gone to the jail every day this week to see the little woman. She appears to be in | excellent spirits and chats good-humoredly ‘ith her visitors, She is now engaged in mak- | ing a crazy quilt, and has sent for her sewing- machine, ‘on which she proposes to make « supply of clothes for her little six-year-old boy. In talking with Sheriff Wise several days ago | she said on did not want him to select any of | Taylor's family as jurors in her case, meaning her late husband's kinsmen. — eee Another Fight with Oyster Pirates.
