General Fremont. I'!iili!el!iia Timet. There are few of any political faith who will not approve the appointment of (len. ,)o!m (.'. Fremont to tlie Terri torial (lovt ruoiah'p of Arizona. His life ba.s been unexampled in its great possibilities and its conspicuous fail ure.. From an obscure army oflicer, with ill-directed love of adventure, lie burst upon the. country as a presiden tial candidate, ulid lost the race by a nominal and ai.vays disputed majority in i'tiiiadcipiiia, in Octolier, 150, and from the lirst leader of the great party that has .since administered the gov ernment for two decades, and accom plished the grandest results of history, lu: has long Ween l'orgoten in polities and entirely unfelt in the aftaiis of state. lOnee regarded a.s one of the first millionaires of the continent, he is now br ken in fortune and owns no part of this world's surface but a grave. When war came he was hurried home from Paris to accept one of the most impor tant commands in tlie Union army, and in a few months he was degraded by those who had been his friends and his military career stamped with fail ure. He conceived the construe. km of a grand trans-continental railway on the Southern line, commanded In favor of Congress and the confidence of Paris bankers, only to be swampid i i ii retrievable bankruptcy, denoui.c el as a swindler and cn-'icted of fraud in the criminal couit of France. With all his prominence in the politic al movements of the country his o:;ly experience in civil trust was a few days' service as one of the first United .States senators lioin California. He has been jeered by political enemies as the statesman who never made a speech ; the general who never fought a battle and the millionaire who never had a dollar; but with all his failures. (Jeneral Fremont has deserved well of the nation, for he has generally sowed where others have reaped, and in all the wrongs imputed to him he has been greatly more sinned against than sin ning. His a couipMshtd wife (.Jessie K-nloii) has bravely struggled with him in all tlie sal mutations of fortune through which tin y have passed, and the education of her son li ts been ac complished by tlie fruits of her pen. l'hey will well gr;:ce the humble Gu bernatorial mansion of Arizona, and President Hayes will be thanked for the appoint ment by very many who have grateful memories of 100. William Cnllen Wryant. On Wednesday morning William Cnllen Bryant, the veteran editor, poet ami philantli! opist, bi eathc d his last, and the most ancient landmark of American literature ha-? disappeared from the streets of tlie commercial metropolis of the country. Born No vember 17U4, Mr. Bryant had pass ed his Sid birthday, but the vigor of his frame and the undimmod bright ness of his intellect, made him a mar vel to the generation of nervous, pre maturely old men that moved about him, and he seemed good, tha day that the paralytic stroke prostrated him last week, for years of good work, lie had not been sick since he was a school boy, having enjoyed about 70 years of sound health, a happy experi ence, to which his regular habits of exercise, and the uniform force of his irn will, c iitribti'ed to a great degree, for in his h;hood he had apparently a weak frame and was supposed to be predisposed to consumption. Mr. Bryant commenced his literary career at a very early age, proving a striking exception to the rule that con signs precocity to early decay. He wrote verses at the au: of ten, aud ; some ol ins most celebrated poems, m- I eluding "Thanatopsis," while he. was ! yet in Lis ininoiitv. Becoming thus eany eeicoraieu, no nas kepi ins name -. . . , . , . ... ana iame as a writer ami a leader in literature and political thought for nearly three-fourths of a centurv. He h is been an editor, neai ly all his life, raving been on the Xew Yoik Bver ing Post as a writing or editor-in-chief for over fifty two years, lliseh.iracter was manlv, his lii.er.irv life being the antipodes of Bohemianism, and in every respect he has been a model gen tleman, in whom his countrymen have ta'ien nrde, and have delighted to honor lor three generations.

The 1'roTjable Programme at the Euro peau Conre.'js. Inter Ocean Special. The congress will I e opened by Trince JJisiuai k, as president, by sub mitting Lis memorandum of points or resume of subjects to be treated di rettlv bv the nleninotentiaries. The ! business of the first sitting v ill becon- fined to a settlement of the question whether or not the congress shall in vite Greece to participate in its tran sactions. A state banquet at the cas tle will be given the plenipotentiaries and their suites on Thursday or Fri day evening. It is highly improbable that lioumania or Servia will be ac corded direct access to the congress either with full or consultative pow ers.. The original anticipation, that the congress would complete its labors in a fortnight, is thought likely to be realized. Commissioners will then be sint to Turkey to settle the details The result of the congress, it is antici pated here, will not be unfavorable to Itussia. She will probably get a por tion of Uessarabia, Armenia, the latter including Kars and A rdahan certainly, and perhaps also Patoum, butnotUay azi I. There is a report current that the lionaparte, Orleans and JJourbon interests are to be privately advocated during the congress by gentlemen de puted for the occasion, the hope being entertained by the monarchial parties in France that a conservative reaction will shortly set in at Jjerlin, and that the monarchy may then have another chance at Paris. The pages in the GreekNs seraglio are of Greek and Hungarian nationality, selected on account of their beautiful looks. They dress like little king3, and bear themselves in a royally haughty manner toward the crowd of obsequious servants and personages surrounding them in the imperial household. The Pir.iTe Kin?. This name .seems to have been justly pai ned by Kydd. He was a native of Loi don, and was born, as neai ly as can be ascertained by vague records, in the yearl'Jls. Prom boyhood he evinced a fondness for the sea, and ran away from his home to ship as cabin boy, when he was yet but thirteen years of age. From that position he became the mo.-d notorious pirate' that ever plowed the sea in search of plunder. He was an excellent navigator, a good disciplinarian, and a most plausible man. He was thus enabled to interest Wiliiam of Orange, a prince who was noted for his cupidity, and who was l h n on the throne of England, in his schemes. He represented to tlie king that he would subserve the cause of re lipiou and commerce by giving him a free commission to sail tlie seas and rid them ot pirates. To this William ac ceded. Once fairly embarked Kydd acknowl edged no m;:ste;- but himself,no purpose but to rob and steal all that he could, no responsibility to either God or man. Ostensibly he was to clear the seas of pirates, with wlib'h at that time they were infested, but he robbed and plun dered indiscriminately, until it has been estimated that he possessed him self of over twenty midion of dollars. This treasure he buried somewhere on the coast of New England or New York. Pot lions of this wealth ha ve been dis covered, but not more than one-tenth of what the daring buchaneer secret ed, lie not only attacked other pirati cal vessels, but also robbed regular traders and merchant ships of all na tions, and upon all seas. The :uthoii- ty which first commissioned him strove in vain to recall him. He would acknowledge ' no authority what ever but scoured the seas in an unscrupulous career of robbery and murder, until his name bec.tnia a ter ror to all navigators, attacking Spanish galleons, Portugues fellow-corsairs, a::d the very merchant-ships of England, for whose protection he had been orig inally employed. Kydd tilled his ship to the full with Indian treasures and African gold and Spanish dollars. For live or six years he was master of the ocean, accumula ting enormous treasures. Early in his career he had quarrelled with the earl of Bellamoat about a woman, and had made that powerful noble, then gov ernor of New York and Massachusetts, a bitter enemy. The latter person hearing that Kydd had murdered his boatswain, made strenuous efforts to ar rest him, in which he was finally suc cessful, and brought him to justice in the year 1701, when he was hanged in chains at Executive Dock in Loudon. Corn as Food. The Milwaukee Milling Journal thus compares the cost and food value of corn and wheat to the disadvantage of the latter grain: Wheat is the dearest food consumed by mankind, and when the comparative- value and cheapness of the different grains is more thor oughly understood, the singular fact will be developed that there is as much caste in food as in the human race that is supported by it. Scarcity and high cost of wheat will eventually force na tions and individuals to learn tLd the moral and financial elevation of the masses depends upon the substitution of some good material cheaper than wheat and bearing nearer proportion to the reduced state of wages now prev alent tiie world over. When the con ventional necessities of life increase in cost, laborer's wages diminish, and suf fering and discontent ensue. The fol lowing comparison will show that corn, as well as oats, is cheaper food than wheat; O its contain 19.01 ner cer.t nourishm-nticorn. 12.H0 ier cent, and I wheat, 11 (X5 per cent. Each pound of nourishment from oats at ooi cents per bushel cos's V.VM cents; from corn at 07 cents per bushel, each pound 92 cents, while from wheal at SI 07 per bushel each pound of nourishment costs 20.01 cents. The corn crop of the United States equals the wheat crop of the civ ilized world, w hile l J per cent of the hitter can not raise Mifiicieut for their own wants. I.ie deficiency in the United States wheat crop for 1S713 ex ceeded the entire export of 1S7-5, while our exporis of wheat in 1S75 were 10, 0r0,0O bushels less than in 1S71, show ing that wheat can not be claimed as a sole dependence from the rapidly in creased population of the world. Corn must, before many years, be consumed us a partial substitute, at least, for wheat, and the belter the quality of the grain, and the more perfect the process of preparing it for lood, the quicker will come the enlarged demand. This is iu part confirmed by the fact that our exports of 1S7U were 3 per cent of our whole crop, while for the twelve preceding years they averaged only 1 per cent of the corn produced. Domestic Ilecipes. Roasting Meats. In roasting it is important that the meat be put down before a bright, clear fire, sufficiently largo to heat the whole of the joint afc once. The time usually allowed for roasting is a quarter of an hour to each pound, but this must also depend on the thickness and size of the joint. Coffee. To make good coffee, use about a tablespoonf ul for each person, and one egg with it. Place this in a coffee-pot, put in a little cold water, and then the desired amount of boiling water; place upon the stove and let it come to a boil. If no egg is used, it should never boil over a half minute. If an egg is used it may boil two min utes, when it is ready for use. The coffee-pot should be as close as possi ble, so as to retain the savor. Sauce for Baked or Boiled Fish. Pound the yolks of two hard boiled eggs and place in a bowl. Have ready some boiling water, half a pint; add a sprig of parsley and a variety of sweet herbs, besides two small onions, and boil live minutes. II -move from the lire, pound them well and strain upon the pounded yolks, adding two spoon fuls best vinegar, two of French mus tard, salt, pepper, four spoonfuls sweet oil, which should bo poured in gradual ly, when it is ready for use. Moonshines. Beat an egg very light, add salt aud as much flour as it will take, add one-fourth teaspoon!' ul baking powder in the Hour; knead it well, break off pieces like a marble, roll as round as possible, and then drop into boiling fat, use plenty of fat so they will float, they cook instantly; lay a piece of. cur rant ly in center of each roll; roll all out before frying any. Slewed Tripe. Cut in small pieces one pound of tripe, halt a quart each of po tatoes ;;iid onions, and put them in layers in a pot, seasoning them with one tablespoonf ul of salt and one level teaspoonful of pepper, mix quarter ot of a pound of flour with water, gradu ally using three pints of water, and pour it over the stew, put the pot over the lire and boil it gently for an hour and a half. It costs about fifteen cents and furnishes a good, nutritious meal, the onions and flour making up any lack of nourishment in the trip and potatoes. Lemon Pie. The juice of one lemon and half of the grated rkid; one cup hot water; let it boil a few minutes, then add one cup sugar and one tablespooii f ul of butter while hot, and when luke warm add a tablespoonf ul cornstarch moistened with a little water and a well beaten egg. Bake with two crusts. riiilanlliropy of Coalman Life. There are those says Orville Dewey, who, with a kind of noble but mistaken aspiration, tire asking for a life v.hi h shall, in its form and outward course, be more sp. ritual and divine than that which they are obliged to live. They think tint if they could devote them selves entirely to what are called the la bors of philanthropy, to viniting the poor ar.d sick, that would be Weil and worth) and so it would be. They think thai if it could be inscribed on their tombstone lh:;t they h;;d visited a lo'Lion couches of disease, and carried I b dm and sooihing to them, lh.it would be a glorious iccord and so it would be. Bui let me t. il you that the mil lion occasions will coin ay, in tlie or dinary paths of life, in your houses and by your firesides wherein you may act as nobly as if ail your life long you had visited beds of sickness and pain. Yes, I say the million occasions w ill come, varying every hour, in which you may restrain your passions, subdue your hearts to gentleness and patience, re sign your intere-t to ;.n tiler's advan tage, speak woids ot kindness and v.-.i- ini, raise the fallen, and cheer the f.iiating and sick in spirit, and soften and assuage the weariness ;:nd bitter ness of the mortal lot. Tliese cannot indeed be written on your tombs, for tliey are not one series of specific ac tions, like those of what is technic. dly denominated philanthropy. But in them, I say, you may discharge ofliees nut less glorious for yourselves than the self-denials of the far-famed Sisters of Charity, or than the labors of How ard or Oberlin. They shall not be writ ten on your tombs; but they are writ ten deep in the hearts of men of ftiends, of children, ot kindred all around you. Ciiinest! Pert ana Tellers.

A mat ii spread on the ground with a Ftick at each c rner, around whieh a strip of cloth is cast to term an inclosure for the f. rluiie-teiier and his hen kept in a small bamboo cage. By his side ia an open box co. taininga number of very sma I rolls of paper, with sentences or singl-' characters written on them In front of him is a long row of sixty or more small pasteboard envelopes, which also hold single characters of di vina.ioi sentences. A little board painted white, for writing on and the ink-stone and pencil are at hand and ready for use. An inquirer who wishes to consult him squats down on his heels outside the enclosure, pays three cash (half a farthing), and teils his story, stating what he wishes to know, xle is told to pick out a roll from the box, w Li'jh, i aving been done, he hands it to the man, w ho unrolls it ind wi ill s its contents on the board. The door of the c :ge is then opened and Uie hen marches Inward to the rows ot envelopes; after peering over them in quisitely, she picks out one and lets it tall to the ground. A lew grains f rice are put in o tne cage, and she re turns. The envelope is opened, and the contents also written down; from these two inscriptions the consulter's prospects are announced.
