He had felt the crushing nature of w hat was his first great disappointment in his w hole history, and he had seen the tri umphant Harrison inducted to an office from which he himself hod been excluded by the voice of an indignant nation. He was, in fact, the worst beaten of all Presi dential candidates up to that day. In the midst of this disappointment came the news of the death of Harrison after only one mouth of official service. The City of New York honored the occasion by a funeral procession of imposing character, but its most impressive feature was the defeated candidate. I was then merely a boy, but as I gazed on the long ranks of the military marching in solemn step to the wail 6f dirges, and saw all the deep expressions of public bereavement. I felt the most touelunglesson was found in Martin Van Lim n.

Chanzy at once remembered -that this young man and several others had been by hfs orders shot for running away at the moment of battle and calling out to tht-ir comrades: “Nous sommos triihis 1” When this recollection flashed across the General, he hesitated for a moment whether he should say that he did not know what had l>een the fate of the young mniij or tell the unhappy the London Caterer 1.

A Chemnitz letter to the Chicago AVtct says : * You cannot live in Saxony with out handling on assortment of yellow tickets every day. You get a ticket for everything. When you pay your faro on the 'street car, the conductor gives you s yellow ticket. Before reaching the end of your trip, another official enters the car and tears a comer off the ticket. If yon send a package by express you re ceive a yellow ticket, and if you receive an express package you get a yellow ticket. If you send money by mail you get two yellow tickets, one for the con signee and one for yourself, and when the consignee receives the money he also receives a yellow coupon, and signs a yello'w ticket. When yon buy a bill of goods in a store you are handed ft yellow ticket, and when they are delivered at your house the bundle boy gives you an other yellow ticket and takes the one you first received. I don’t know whether the minister who officiates at a wedding gives (hp bride and groom yellow tickets or not, but Tbeliere they must have one when their first buby is tom. If you ive at 3,796 B street, and you move to 3,795 A street, you must go to the City "fall and yet a yellow ticket. If a scr- vaptqnft h*nves Mrs, X, and goes to. work for Airs. XX, she must also go to the City Hall and get a yellow ticket. It is >robahle that the ^ftion goes into the xext world with a Yellow ticket in his hand, but that is another point upon which I have no definite information. All this seems very Strange and very fuimy. to «• American until he Los in quired into it thoroughly, ahfi thm it strikes him that the plan is an excellent sart of on excellent system. In the street car, fOr insUuice, there can be no such thing as “knocking down.” The brace bell punch will not work. Every passenger must have a receipt for his fare, and ho must show it to the official who tears the corner off. Everybody knows the value of receipts for packages sent and received, whether it to by express, • by poet, or by bundle-tor. Tho books of the City Hall will tell you where every man in Chemnitz resides, the numtor of the street as well as tho number of the flat; they will tell you whether her is married or single; whether he lives with his parents or rooms alone; how many children he has; how did hci is; how old his wife is, and how old his children are ; what his trade is; whether he keeps a servant girl; what ho pavs her ; how much his income is; whore he was bora, etc., etc. They will tell you* in a word, anything that it is possible to find out concerniug himself aud his busi ness. Ho cannot sail under falstvcolors. If he pretends to have an income of 10,000 marks per annum, ho must pay an income tax on that amofiftt or prove that he has toon talking too big. If a mer chant is thinking of hiring a man, he can, within forty-eight hours, »discover whether his prospective employee has ever tocu mixed up in a dishonorable scrape, and determine whether or not the account given by the man regarding his own history is true. There is another feature of tliis sys tem which is remarkable. If you know the numtor of the house where a certain man lives whose history you ore anxious to ascertain, but you cannot possibly find out his name in any other way, you can go to the City Hail and hfiVe not only his name but his entire record placed before you in a very short time. Tho numtor of the house tells the story. But you cannot get information stout Tom, Dick or Harry simply to satisfy an idle curi osity, or for purposes of blackmail. You must show cause for seeking the history or name of Tom, Dick or Harry; your own name is entered as having called at the City Hall at such and such a time for such and such a purpose, and if you use the information which you have received unlawfully, ~you will be punished verely.

After the revolution of February, 1848, Prince Na poleon returned, 'and the Corsioans elected him a member oMhe Constituent Assembly, iu which he became leader of the extreme republican party known as the Mountain. His views, however, tin* derwent a change, and in 1849 he was appointed Minister Plenipotentiary at Madrid, but was shortly .recalled for having quitted his post without authority. He was made a French prince, with a seat in the Senate and Council of State, Decemtor 23, 1853,' and at the same time received the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honor and the rank of General of Division. In 1854 he was appointed tea command in the expedition to the Crimea, and commanded an infantry division of reserve at the battles of Almalnkeraonn. On account of his sudden retirement from this post, ill-health being tho ex cuse, the sobriquet of. 'Tlon-Flon" was given him by his countrymen. Ho married the Princess Clotilde, daughter of Victor Emmanuel, late King of Italy, January 30, 1859, by whom ho had two sons, Napoleon Victor Jerome Frederick, " torn July TaLik.* 18112, and. Napoleon Louis Joseph Jerome, born July 16, 1864, and one daughter, Marie Letitia Eugenie Catharine Adelaide, torn December 20, 1866. In tho Italian cam paign of 1859 he commapded the French army of reserve in the south of Italy, hut was not engaged in any of the great battles. In the Senate in 1861 he made nn attack upon the Orleans family, which was answered with spirit by the Due d’Aumnlo. Prince Napoleon, to the dis gust of a great portion of the French army, declined to accept the challenge sent him by the duke on that occasion. In 1865 Prince Napoleon was appointed president of the Commissioners for the Universal Exhibition at Paris of 1867, but resigned, the post in consequence of a reprimand wbieh he received from the Emperor for a speech delivered at Corsica at the inauguration of a statue of tho Emperor Napoleon L, May 27, 1865. In 1861 he came to this country, while the civil war yna raging, and formed the acquaintance of President Lincoln, Mr. Howard, and of several of the Federal and Confederate generals. On war being declared with Prussia in July, 1870, prince Napoleon implored his cousin to appoint him to a military com mand. The Emperor, however, declined to do s(r, on the plea that he might ren der more efficient aid to France by ac cepting a confidential mission to Italy, where he could bring his personal influ ence to bear on his_father-in-law, Victor Emmanuel. Aeeordingly he went to Florence, but failed to obtain the co- oiMiration of Italy. After the fall of the Empire, he spent somc_jnonths in Brus sels and in otner continental cities, but ultimately he fixed his residence in Eng land. In September, 1870, he ventured 4o France on a visit to M. Richard, an ex-Minister of tho Empire, but on the Pith oL_ that month he was banished rom France. Previous to tho killing of the Prince Imperial, Prince Napoleon claimed to to the chief representative of iis family, and endeavored, however without success, to organize a party of iis own in opposition to tho adherents of tho Empress -Eugenie and the Prince Imperial. The Subject of Education. How to Make Buckwheat Cakes. The memorial sketch of tho late Rev. William L. Gaylord, read at the recent meeting of the Congregational Club in l Springfield, Mass., stated that he con fessed to his friends that he was a very diffident man, a fact unsuspected by those who knew him intimately. In making such a confession, he ouce said that when he was a toy his mother used nffen to send binr atont-the-neighbe!v Thk shooting season has set in, and the average toy begins to worry the life out of his parents for a gun, with which, in all human probability, the boy will either cripple himself or somebody else. “Father,” said Johnny Fizzletop, “can’t you spare money enough to get me a gun F* “My son, when I can spare a boy IT] get you a gun.” hood to invite her friends to tea, and that when he reached a house where an invitation was to to left he never could look anybody in the Ifcce, but with eyes on the floor, he would repeat these words which he had said over and over on his way there : “ Mother sends her compli- mpnts, and she hopes you will take tea with Iter this evening.” He went onto y that after he began to preach hie, could never catch the eyes of his audi ence till after ho had listened to the sound of his own voice for a while, and that at such times those same words were sure to come into his mind. “ And some day,” said he, “ I shall speak them oat, and you vill be very much astonished to hear me' 'mark at the opening of a sermon: ‘M Jier sends her compliments, and she ho; * you will take tea with her this mir... ” The season has arrived when buck wheat cakes add so much to the break fast table. But there are several de grees of difference in' the qualities of them. The good are very good indeed, whilo the bad are most insufferable nui sances. In tho first place, it is all im portant to have good, pure, clean buck wheat flour. From some cause this flour is dear, making it a temptation to bad men to adulterate with corn-meal, or wheat and rye shorts. Very little, if any, pure buckwheat flower can be had, nuless the farmer raises his own buck wheat and carefully threshes and has it floured at an honest mill. There are such mills. When you have good flomv'j the next thing is to have a skillful hand to prepare the cakes. Never use any baking powders, soda, or any other preparation containing al kali, except it to not exceeding half ft teaspoonful of pure bi-cartonate of soda to sweeten the batter just before begin ning to bake. Take a quart of water, lukewarm, for a family of six, a heaping tablespoonful of yeast and five teacuiw of I tuck wheat flower. Beat thoroughly until you have a smooth batter. Salt to taste. This is made np over night and set where it will keep warm. In the morning thin tho batter io a proper con sistency and bake rapidly, not to scorch It is a good practice to save some of this batter each time and use it for several bakings instead of adding new veast After three or four days renew the batter with new yeast. “ Cakes prepared in cions and easily digested, an(f add much to the pleasure of the meal, eepe> ially if it is covered with-a little hon ty or maple molasses. But poor, solid, g itty, insipid cakes are not fit to feed to pigs, and they ought to be thrown in tome safe place where no domestic anim&’ scan get at them. There are greater de frees of merit in buckwheat mikes than any other article of diet which comes to the table. Strive to have the imperial tide. “Oh, yes,” said the con tented man, “I ad' just as well satisfied that my horse isn’t as fast as some. When 1 owned a' trotter that conld get away with anything on the road, I was in front all the time, and didn’t half enjoy myself. Now I am behind most of tbs time, and see all the fun."—. 1 CUucn, The subject of education receives crit ical and exhaustive attention in the in- rugural message of Guv,* Butler, p: Massachusetts.

High grades of study am cultivated, but the spelling took is abolished; subjects that ought not to be included in aoommon school education ex haust the fund until Massachusetts is the nineteenth Sti.te in the illiteracy of her population of the thirty-eight. The sal aries ia the higher schools are too high ami in the lower grades too low. It is necessary, to prevent crime and pauper ism, to educate the masses up to a cer tain ncccysary point and to fit them for the suffrage. The classes above will and ought to educate themselves up to a still higher punt. In order that he can not be misunderstood, he says that the school fund money is diverted extrava gantly from the many rto whom it does belong to tho use of tho few to whom it does nit belong, aud he illustrates it by citing the Formal aud the Art schools, and closes by advocating the following measures: Restrict the branches taught in the primary schools by law specifi cally to spelling, reading, writing, gram mar, aritnmetic, geography, history— preferably of the United States—and re quire that those shall be taught upon the same system, to the same grade of scholars, in every common school in the Commonwealth. When the scholar can show by an examination that he is well grounded in the elementary English branches, then let him admitted to f' school of higher grade, where-line-draw ing for industrial purposes shall be taught, bookkeeping, algebra, geometry, the rudimenti of the Latin and French languages, chemiatry, pfivsics, with nat ural philosophy iu a rudiment*! degree; and there a* common school education should stop. iy 1 emulate Mr. Nielson’s success, few can to blessed with such a wife os ho boa. It is, in fact, mainly to Mrs. Nielson's exertions that the results accomplished are to be traced. Tlds ladv first of all took a tour in Sweden and Germany, and in those countries learned to make butter on the Swartz system, and skim milk and whey cheese us practiced by Swedes and G Then she resolved upon extending her travels. She knew only her native language and a smattering of German, but with this slender linguistic equip ment she had the courage to make a tour in England, France, Switzerland one Holland, picking up kuowlodge every where. She contrived to got snch an insigh > into the dairy systems of these differenl; countries as to be able to make butter on tho Norman system, Onmemtort and Brie cheeses as they are made in France, Edam as it is made in Holland, Cheddar and Gheshire as they are made in Eng land, and Gmyerc according to the most approved Swiss process. Mrs. Nielson has a shop in Copen*, bugen, where she sells her dairy produce, the king toingone of her regular custom ers. Her work,in the dairy togins at 5 in tho morning, and is finished at 1 in the afternoon. Mrs. Nielson is then off by train to the city, where she is always to to found from 2 o’clockomtil 8. re- Lunimg Unlu.‘i'~cuim1r} lx>iu~ by the .9 d’clbclTTrain, ready"to begin -the same round of work the next day. It would to interesting only to practi cal dairymaids to describe Mrs. Nielson’s methods in detail. Her dairy (which is also her kitchen, Where cooking and cheese-making go on simnltaneously) ia but sixteen feet square, and yet three kinds of cheese—Detby, Edom and Cainembert—have l>oeu seen in process of concoction together.. The mistress devotes her personal supervision to the most critical jmrts of the work, but ia assisted by her pupils, of whom she haa generally about a dozen boarding in the house. For it wOl not excite surprise that her fame has spread far and near, and that fanners are only too glad to send their daughters to study under such an in structor. The girls stay for various periods, from six weeks to two years, usually atout six months, and those who stay but a short time are charged pro- portionately high fees. All nave to work as hard ns any ordinary dairymaid while at the farm. Most of tho pupils arc the daughters of small farmers. One was pointed out to Mr. Jenkins, however, whose father owned forty cows. This young lady alKMtt to to married, and her thought themselves fortunate in for her under Mrs. Nielson tho edge by which she would to enabled to turn the dairy that was so soon to to her own to tho best account. It is. jK-rhaps, worth mentioning tliat Mr. Nielson takes no part in the dairy business lutQ«elf, and hod at first but small faith in the success of bis wife’s enterprise. So she Uflgsn by buying her milk of her hus band at what berregarded as a remuner ative selling price, aud has continued to do so to the present time. She now has to toy of many other farmers as well, but Mr. qnnrt at neightors are. As Mrs. Nielson’s pu] do most of the work, her outlay for ‘ must be very small, and she makes, ac cording to her own statement, between two aud three times os much for her but ter and cheese as she pays for her milk. She must evidently therefore be doing a prosperous business. Her profits are, of course,iftll the greater from the fact that by keeping her own shop she haa to loak* no allowance for those of the factor and retailer. painted an ideal picture ol from the face of a pretty child as his model, and m his old age had • villainous-looking criminJ ait to him lor the model of a picture of “Guilt* m ft companion piece to the other, and die covered that the child end the erimiml were the eame person, haft reoehred eoeae startling illustrations in real life.
