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

raving been on the Xew Yoik Bver

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

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

These men carry on their profess on
fn the streets of the city wherever there
is the h-ast available sp sc. 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. The hen is
regaided as the an-Her of fate, incapa
ble of mortal mo'ive in the selection of
the roll, and is therefore supposed to
give the decree of fate, without any
possibility of colisioii or misinterpre
tation of any kind-
