Fought All Day on a Cup of Coffeo anD a Dish of Cucumbers. In the December Century Gen. Hor- ace Porter says of the entrance of Grant’s army into the Wilderness: ° After the officers at headquarters had S obtained what slcep they could get, they arose about daylight, feeling that before night either a fight or, a foot race—a fight if the armies encountered each other, a foot race to secure good Dositions if the arm es remained apart. Gen. Meade had started south at n, Moving along the Germania ad. Gen.

He retires to resi at 9, except on two evenings in the week, vhen he accompanies his wife to the Grand theater, dining before at a restaurant opposite the building. This is his great treat and he is ford of remarking that on these occasions he and his wife ' enjoy themselves just as if they were | a young couple on their honeymoon. | As a maiter of fact, M. and Mme, Jules Verne have not been near Paris for the last eight years and find that their life : | at Amiens suits them perfectly.—Paris | Carrespondence Lundon Telegraph.

Dickens has told us of the keen emo- son that overcame him on seeing in + etint his first “effusion,” as he styled .t, Which he had dropped stealthily one ‘vening at.twilight, with .fear and j (wembling into a dark letter-box in a fark GfMice up a dark court in Fleet +*reet, and how when it appeared next tiorning he went for half an hour into Westminster hall, “because my eyes were so dimmed with joy and pride that they could not bear the street,” says Chambers’ Journal. Charles Mathews, the elder, describes the de- light with which he, gazed on the first proof of lis nslation of “The Prin- yess of Cleves,” which appeared by monthly installments in the Lady’s Magazine, as “boundless” and how he | fancied the eyes of Burope were upon nim and thet the ladies who subscribed vo that period would unite im call- ; ing on the editor to insist in “C.

Poor, Haydon has left a vivid record of tho flutter of elation with w: eeted the re- sult of his hay sed his little ; composition into the er-box of the Examiner. “Nev ites, “shall { forget that Sunday morning. In came the paper, wet and uncut; in went the paper knife—cut, cut, cut. Affecting not to be interested, I turned the pages open to dry and to my certain immor | tality beheld, with a delight not to be expressed, the first sentence of my let- ter. I put down the paper, walked about the room, looked.at Macbeth (a print on the wall), made the tea, but- tered ‘he toast, put in the suger, with that inexpressible suppressed chuckle of elight which always attends a con- | descending relinquishment of an antic- ipated rapture till one is perfectly ready. Who has nct felt this? Who {has net done this?” ENCLISH FARMS. Farmers tn Gyeut 1 Than in America. Farms in England are selling at a tuinous reduction of their forn val- ue, and in many cases cannot be sold ‘at all, says the New York Tribune. Many properties within two hours’ ride of London are deserted. Recently at italn Worse O@ | land with farmhouse, stabdling, home- stead and seven modern cottages, only | realized £5,700, or less than £9 per acre, Fifteen years ago the property was valued at over £20,000, and four years ago it was mortgaged for £14,000. In Essex county, within a day’s walk of the Bank of England, a farm which in 1875 rented for £400 has for the last five years years rented for £1 per an- hum, the occupant paying the, taxes, amounting to about £150. In many cases farms have been sold for less than one-terth of their value twenty years ago. Vell-to-do farmers are abandoning the business and going to the colonies or to cities to start life anew. Nor does there seem to be any hopefwd outlook for the industry in the i future. Lord Salisbury recently de- clined to receive a deputation of Eng- lizh farmers, saying that be knew as much about the wants of the agricul- turists as they could tell, which was no doubt true, and it is equally true that with the best will in the world the government is powerless to render them any material assistance. Al- though the situation is grievous, there may be some, consolation in the fact that it is worse on the continent, and seems to be equally irremediable. We have not yet suffered so severely in this country, but have by no means escaped the depressing influences which seem to have fallen on agricui- ture everywhere. ” The Pulse of Progress. The phonendoscope is one of the re- cent inventions which promises great things for the medical practitioner. By its use the most cbscure sounds within the interior organization of the human body may be distinctiy heard. It is the invention of two professors in the Uni- versity of Parma, in Italy. structed somewhat on the principle of the telephone, only, wasidering the uses to which it is to be put, it is much more delicate as a sound transmitter. It is about the size and form of a large watch, and consists cf two sup- erposed plates and a hearing tube. Ap- plied to the medica! sciences, the phon- endoscope serves for the hearing of all the normal and abnormal sounds of the human organism, and its practical] re- sults are very wonderiul. Not only can the sounds ef the organs of respira- tion and circulation be heard by its j use, but also those of the muscles, of the joints, of the bones, of the capillary circulation, and the first faint indica- tions of prenata! life, A Poet's Chivalry. Tho poetry of Longfellow reveals its euthor’s sensitive, chivalrous spirit, so that those familiar with his verses will | read without surprise this story told by Mrs. Phelps-Ward in her “Chapters from a Life:” Longfellow was reading aloud a poem one day to.Madam Mod- jeska, whose eyes filled with tears as the reading proceeded. “T shall never forget,” observes Mrs. Phelps-Ward, “the tone and manner with which he turned toward her. ‘Oh!’ he cried, ‘I meant to give you happiness!) And I have: given you pain!’ “His accent on the word ‘pain’ was like the smart of a wound.” Cause tor Dissati.faction. “Miss Oldgirl doesn’t look pleased at the account of her club meeting in this morning’s paper.” “i guess she tsn’t, The club is called the Ancient Order of Bachelor Girls, and the paper has it the Bachelor Order of Ancient Girls."

England is steadily on the increase. Yor the first five months of ; the current year it was 175,000 head, as compared with 112,000 for the same | period last year. If this rate per month be sustained, the year’s import | will be over 400,000, or much larger than the exceptional importation in — 1892. The London aud Liverpool mar- kets have been s0 heavily supplied — : that the prices of American beeves | H have there fallen as low as 9c to 9 1-2c ; per pound (estimated dressed weight); ‘ while export steers were being quoted a ; at Chicago at $3.75 to $4 per 100 Ibs, | live weight. At these rates shipments E % must have been made at a loss. The development of the chilled beet import é | trade presents many interesting feat ures, and is, in many respects, very similar to that of live cattle. Taking 600 pounds as the average weight of a cattle slaughtered for the dressed beef B, trade, last year’s export from this country of fresh beef to England rep- resented a number of cattle nearly equal to that exported alive, the latter being, however, heavier cattle. The past five-months’ export of chilled beef | was 108,759,600 pounds, as compared } with 81,841,065 pounds for the same et period last year. At this rate, the j year’s export will be some 60,000,000 4 pounds greater than in 1892. It seems i still a matter of doubt which of the two branches of the trade offers the largest profits. The secretary of agri- culture, in his report for 1895, sayst “It appears to work out more profita- bly to transport the live cattle. They are carried on parts of the ship that would otherwise be unoccupied. They do not require such special fittings and oe’ appliances as to debar the vessel from a carrying other cargo. when cattle are not available.” The ocean freight on the four quarters ofa steer varies from $5 to $6. How a Letter May Be Recalled, The public is not as familiar with © Its, privileges about postal matters as might be supposed. Many times peo- ple would lke to recall a letter after It has been mailed. This can be done, even if the letter has reached the postoffice at its destination. At every | postoféve there are what are called © | “withdrawal blanks.” On: application they will be furnished, and. when a deposit is made to cover the expense, the postmaster will telegraph to, the: postinaster at the letter's inatior, | acking that it be prompti rola The applicant first signs this agre ment: “It is hereby agreed . that, ° i the letter is returned to me. I will Pe tect you from any and all claims made| against you for such return and wine fully indemnify you for any loss you! may sustain by reason of such action.: And I herewith deposit $— to cover all expenses incurred and will deliver to you the envelope of the letter re- turned.” In many cases persons have — made remittances.to- fraudulent par- ties or irresponsible firms, uot learn- {ng their true character until after the letter had gone, and have suc- ceeded in recalling them. There is an~ instance where a Kansas City mer- chant had remitted a dishonest tray- eling: man a draft for $175, and by t means of a withdrawal rescued the — draft just in time. ‘The Longest Continuous Speech. Will you kindly, inform several of ~ your readers of the longest speech on record, and the name of the speaker? Answer—Manpy stories are related of unusually long speeches having been made for purposes of consuming time, and of gaining advantage thereby. A few years ago the Toronto Globe said « that the longest speech on record was — believed to have been that made by Mr. De Cosmos, in the legislature of British Columbia, when a n easure was ~ pending, the passage of which would — take from a great many settlers their lands. De Cos 10s was in a hopeless minority. .The Job had been held back until the eve of the glose of the session, — Unless action was taken before noon — on a given day the act of confiscation — would fail. The day before the expira- tion of the limituticn De Cosmos got the floor about 10 a. m.. and began to speak against the Dill. its . friends seemed careless, supposing they would | have ample time to act when he got through. He kept on speaking through the afternvon, evening, night, next morning, and at last noon came tc a baffled majority, livid with rage and impotence. So, a single man who was — triumphant, though his voice had sunk to.a husky whisper, his eyes were al- most shut, and bleared and bloodshot, his legs tottered under him, his baked | lips eracked and smeared with blood.
