Asa Rule, People with Carniverous Na- tures Are Not Given to Longevity The | Great Men of the Eighteenth Century Were Carefal of Their Diet. A correspondent of the London Truth “The persons living to a green old age, who have come within the range of my observation, were abste- mious themselves, and had either sprung from poor families or came from the South, where h-avy meuts are not enjoyable. Guizot, who was not a vigorous trencherman, started in pov- erty and was a southerner. Thiers started in the same condition, ate twice a dey and very heartily, but was so heavy after eating as to be obliged to gotosleep. He died of apoplexy after eating. I attribute the extraord nary difference in quality in the early and late works of Victor Hugo to his hav- ing only scant meals when he wrote the former, and to his having plentiful and delicious ones when he turned ont the latter. Victor Hugo was spirituel be- fore lunch or dinner ; he was inflated in speech and bereft of all sense of the ridiculous when digesting either repast. Volumes have been written against drunkenness. But any doctor who un- derstands well the human frame will tell you (if he can cast aside humbug) that drink is not as bad in its effects us gormandizing. Nothing so hustens senility as the latter. The czar, his brothers, and his uncles are all gormandizers, and what a heavy, wearie’. lot they all look, unwieldy as megrcheriums, and about as intelligent. Ihave never doubted since I began to toink upon the subject that George III ate himself into the mad doctor's hands, aud Louis XVI into semi-imbecility. Who were the great viciors of the eighteeuth century? Voltaire, who lived on coffee and had too weak a stomach to bear much food ; Washing- ton, who was spare and abstemious ; and at the Revolution, the people of Paris, who were starvelings. Stanley greatly explains his success when he says that all he wanis is a crust of bread, a mouthful of meat when hecan get it anda cup of tea. ‘he Scotch were a proverbially hungry people when they turned India into a British de- pendency, I have been discussing the dinner question with a Jew, aged eighty, who is an enthusiastic Mosaist. He him- self ate the vache enragee until he was five-and-twenty, and thinks it was the making of him, The reason he gave why his brethren bear so well all climates is that they spoil their meat when they prepare it according to the prescriptions of their religion. It is first bled, and then steeped in salt and water until no redness stains the water. This unfits it for the spit or the grill, and does not make it toothsome in a stew—the only way in which it can be done, unless boiled. Meat thus pre- pared has no savor, and does not tempt bre Jew to eat it gluttononsly. Dying since every one must die of something. But, as my aged Hebrew friend ob- serves, it does matter to be for years in astate that ends in apoplexy—to-wit, with a starved brain. The brain starves in the midst of too great plenty, be- cause gormandizing clogs the capillary arteries which bring life to the brain sabstance. ‘The blood does its best to do its work, and in its efforts at last bursts a vessel. J once knew an impressario who was alsoa Jew. He was behind any num- ber of lyrical theatres, from Stockholm to Sydney, cafes-concerts, music halls, and other places where singing was the attraction. He held carnivorous feed- ing in horror, and told me that he never lost his time seeking for fine voices in countries where a fish or a meat diet prevailed. The most fish- eating Italians—those of Naples and Genoa—have often among them sweet singers. The most meat-e.ting part of Great Britain—England—is also a voiceless country. Though the singing is so fearfui in the Scoten kirks, my friend found some divine songsters south of the Grampians, and a greater number in the Highlands, He often heard common Irisiwomen “lilt” and sing like nightingales, but never in the town. Sweden was a country of song, because a country of grain. Norway was not. ‘Too much fish was eaten there. Vocal capacity disappeared in musical families who got rich. They ate too much meat. ‘The vocal birds are eaters of grain, fruit and vegetables, No carnivorous one can ever sing a song. It croaks, has a bad liver, and is generally melancholy, Masks. In the seventeenth century masks were commonly worn. Ladies who had red lips preferred them short, as was natural, For others, the mask was completed by a chinpiece of linen, which afterward passed under the chin In 1632 a new mask called the “mimi,” from the Italian “mimies,” was all the rage and threat- , ened to usurp the place of the black | one; it was even the cause of violent quarrels between the ladies who held the latter and those who preferred the latest novelty. Some years later it be- came the fashion to trim the upper part of the mask with a ruche of lace, to lengthen it with a beard of the, same material, and even to cover it more or Jess with lace to the borders of the eye- holes. Young ladies of this period, however, frequently contented them- selves with covering the face with a piece of black crape for coquetry’s sake and to appear the fairer. It is curious how much faster a street car humps along when you are running after it than when you are riding on it. Order is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of the State.—Southey, AND LIVIN. | EVENTS OF THE NATIONAL CAPITAL. INTEREST IN CON- GRESS AND THE DEPARTMENTS. Work of Congress. The Senate has given much time to the Hawaiian annexation treaty, the Nicara- * gua Canal billand the Sundry Civil bill. The latter was passed with amendments increasing the appropriation. The Sen- ate Foreign Affairs Committee reported in favor of the Hawaiian treaty, but opposition has developed to it. The bill gives the new territory a goverument ; similar to that of Alaska, The House finally passed the Invalid Pension bill without amendment. The New York and New Jersey bridge bill, providing for a railroad bridge to connect Jersey City and New York, was also passed. The Naval and Agricultu- ral bills were passed, SCRE mere Notes. Night sessions are talked of in the Sen- ate. : Presilent Harrison has sent the report of the Monetary Conference to the Sen- ate with a brief message. The Treasury situation shows improve- ment, the heavy payments for the month havi g been made and the heavy receipts pow coming in. ‘Two members of the House Panama Investigating Committee will visit | erre Haute, Ind., to take the testimony of ex- Secretary Thompson. It is said that Ambrose W. Lyman, one of the proprietors of the Helena (Mont.) Independent, has accepted from Mr. Cleveland the tender of the position of Private Secretary. The President has approved the quar- antine bill, officially known as “Ain act granting additional quarantine powers an:l imposing additional duties upon the Marine Hospital service,” and intended to be put in use against cholera arrivals, The negotiations over the treaty for the annexation of Hawaii having been completed, Sveretary of State Foster, whose departure from Washington last month was prevented by the revolution in that country and the consequent ar- rival of the commissioners, has left for Paris. PLEADS FOR HER THRONE. Princess Kaiulani Will Appeal to the American People. Princess Kaiulani, who has lost her kingdom of Hawaii, issued this plaintive address: “To the American people: “Four years ago, at the request of Mr. Thurston, then Hawaiian Cavinet Minis- cer, I was sent away to England to be educated privately and fitted for the po- sition which, by the constitution of Ha- waii, I was to inherit. For all these years Ihave patiently and in exile striven to fit myself for my-return this year to my native country.

Picrre Gustave Toutant Beauregard was boro near New Orleans, May 28, 1818, of French descent.

Joe Donoghue, the crack New York skater, failed to win a prize in the skat- ing tournament at Red Bank, N. J. In the quarter-mile race, Donoghue won the first heat easily, but Mosher, of Stormking, N. ¥., got the race. Jolm- son, of Minneapolis, won the half-mile race, and Donoghue came in last. He did not enter the ten-mile race. It iss vid that Donoghue has been in poor form ever since his accident at Stamford, Conn. The Vesuvius a Success. The trial of the cruiser Vesuvius at Port Royal, S. C., has been a complete success, except in one particular, the failure of the gun cotton shells to ex- plode.
