When we consider the marvelous
achievements of this teeming age, we
wonder if the end has been reached, and
if limitation has not been placed over or
iginality, But aa the old and familiar
pass away, the new and wonderful Con
tinually appear. The march progress
since tne world emerged from the dark
agea, was alow for centuries. But dur
ing the nineteenth century it has gone
forth with the rapidity of lightning and
with the force of a giant^ New applica-
emment and in morals. The spirit of
progress hss breathed upon all of the
elements and converted them into new
factors in life. Medicine and theology
have been largely revolutionized. Even
law, one of the most conservative of
professions, founded upon authority and
practiced by precedent, shows signs of
evolution. Chemistry, geology, arch
eology, ethnology, have all been shower
ing upon the world the riches of their
wealth. The travelers have searched
every available nook and corner of this
placet for new objects of interest As
tronomers have diligently swept the
heavens in search of new worlds. Yet,
in the face of all the positive advance
ment, we are asked by Tennyson to stop

The army sutler was the soldiers best
friend and worst enemy. He was looked
upon ss an extortioner, and therefore an
enemy, and yet he was regarded as a
friend who stood between the soldier and
hunger.. There were occasions when
regimental wagons could not “get there,
but it was only on rare occasions that
the sutler’s wagons could not pull
through. It is true, ha asked a big
price for his cakes, cheese pud canned
mods, but he had taken big risks in
following the regiment All things oon-
' the sutler did not deserve the
h bestowed upon lus Calling. He
rah risks which only brave men take, and
his expenses sometimes devoured his
profits, large ks they seemed. Very few
of them made any great amount of
money,'' and scores of them were finan
cially busted by raids and robberies.
From first to last the sutler was con
sidered f*»r game for any one who could
beat him, and when he could not be
tricked he could be cleaned out This
latter process was the darkest mystery
in army life. No one seemed to plan or
to lead, aad yet all seemed to under
stand. At a given moment from twen
ty-five to one hundred men would sud
denly appear at the Sauer’s taut, or hut
go through him like a humeane.

Alios Hartley, a beautiful female of un-
osrtain anh-codenU. male her appear-
anoe in 1879 at Serajero, the capital of
Bosina with aa Enghah newspaper cor
respondent, who introduced her to
everybody ss his wife. She is s diminu
tive creature, but of remarkable beauty,
with fins blue eyes and light hair, cat a
la George Send. Her personal charms
and enthusiasm in behalf of the Bosnian
oiKtae secured her aa extraordinary
popularity, and made her a conspicuous
figure m the revolt against Austiian
rule, which she urged with all the re-
soaroee at her command. Nikita, Prince
of Montenegro, is said to be infatuated
with her, and she is apparently destined
to play an important role.

Paw people have any idea of the im
mense quantities of oleomargarine con
sumed under the name of butter. There
are, in Cincinnati, three oleomargarine
dealers—a man, his wife and mother—
who stand ia market and sell on an aver
age fully 900 pounds a day of stuff
eMlad bottss but which is nothing I ut
the vilest oleomargarine. Barrels oon-
taininc this so-called butter ate branded
but they ore kept well
var. and the “rich golden
s tiers on
sold at a
return when the talent required for the
service is taken into account. ‘Novel
writing is, however, a monkey-making
employment when compared with the
returns received for some other forms of
literary work. For example, it was not
until his fourth book had been published
that Mr. Ralph Waldo Emerson received
a penny in return for the literary weak
he hod done, and the sum total
received during his life-time would
doubtless represent but a very modest
amount, Mr. James Bussell Lowell was
compelled to publish his first book of
poems at his own expense, and at the
end of a year, in making up the pub
lishers’ accounts, it was found that only
forty-five copies of it had been sold. In
this instance it would be unnecessary to
say whether it was Mr. Lowell or the
American public’that
contrast to the foregoing it may be said
that according to common report Mr.
William Black has of late years reoeivdd
from £8,500 to £4,000 for each novel
that he has written. From this one rea
son maybe drawn why Henry Jsmes,
Julian Hawthorne, end other American
novelists prefer to make their home in
England —Nam York Time*.
