KMtiliANII AMI III SSI A.
England's recall of the Afghan cam-
mission ih the first important act of the
present British ministry touching foreign
notations, and seems to indicate it recur
rence to the tory policy of a jingo attitude
Howards Kussia. ComniiswonB tiro in
iSiese canes a trifle like councils of war.
Councils of war, it is said, “never fight.”
They are summoned generally to formu
late the reasons for not fighting. So eoui-
JBASsions area familiar device for finding
wnuo way out of international difficulty
fairer than the warlike way. This was
efre purticulnr function of the Afghan com-
mistnon, though the commission itself did
not always understand it. Russia’s
(jressure u]K)n tlie confines of her
itomtic neighbors is constant, and
m> tiio . limits move, and to
Unit tlie frontier of a barbarous state in
that part of the world is something like
Diuling the edgeofthe wind in the sandy
desert. Tliere is hardly a post or place
tSxn ownership of which may’not at one
tmo or another be in dispute. In such
»world of uncertainties lies tlie latest
tilsptrte between the Russians and Af
ghans, but as England is the protector of
She Afglutn ameer, it becomes a dispute
between Knghtnd and Russia. With a
.iberal government in power in Kngland,
agoverijinont with a majority strong in
the confidence of tlie nation and not
uoniiM-Ilcd to attitudinize for |Kipuliirity,
it was plainly enough seen that to put
hostility and perhaps war between two
great states of Europe because of a dis
pute over a strip of sandy desert utterly
worthless, would be mere madness.
Therefore, when this dispute arose it was
simply bunded over to a commission of
officers appointed to settle it, or find a
fair basis of settlement. Now thnt policy
w abandoned and control of the subject
is resumed in liondon, as if England in
tended to make it a subject of negotiation
directly with the Russian czar. Between
Afghanistan, Batouin and the position of
Alexander, of Bulgaria, tliere are causes
enough to make a substantial quarrel be
tween England and Russia; and if, in
die recent separation of the czar from
bis friendly relations with Austria and
tjievrtnmy, either of these lias resorted to
England for comfort, it is possible tlie
«ase may prove )i serious one.
no: POETRY OE CHANGE.
Probably nothAg can more amuse the
'Julies than the examination of obsolete
fashion plates. Or, if anything lie more
•musing, it is the ransacking of old presses
and trunks, in which are packed speci
mens of the female apparel of tlie days of
wir grandmothers. And when the young
tblk are permitted to bring out these old
iiustumes and masquerade in them, the
fan is hilarious. Men’s old time costumes
do not appear quite as absurd, except,
^erhiqw, their “high hatB." There are
serious aspects in which these antiquated
tilings appear. Tlie grotesque and tlie
serious, the mirthfbl and the melancholy,
jostle each other in one's thoughts, and
5he result is a poem, if we could
write it. One author lias done
Ao in one of tlie most perfect of liis
Sfoems. “Tlie Last Leaf,” by Oliver
Wendell Holmes, is a pen-portrait of
Major Melville, the last survivor of tlie
Boston Tea Party. While the major saw
iKunigc' nil around him, to which his
wn work contributed in no small de
gree, lie still kept bis own identity,
though—
The old three-cornered hat.
And the breeches, and all that.
Were so queer.
The best poetry is, in one sense, the
.bast original. It is the suggestion of
something outside of the writer’s mind.
It is the interpretation and repetition of
what all things, whether animate or in
animate, silent or noisy, say to the man
i»r woman whose mind is active and
whose perceptions are quick: “There's
anisic in all things if men have ears.”
tliere is a story in everything, new or
»Id, if men have minds and memory.
Changes in pursuits and the manners,
'.in the methods of business, and in the
sources of amusement, are written in the
disused appliances and in tlie deserted
bouses and haunts of former generations.
We see this in old towns—and even in
aid Bolitudes. Your city of yesterday is
Ake a pert young maiden arrayed in
modern millinery, who seems with beau
tiful assurance to challenge your admira
tion. Your old town modernized is a
metaphorical M«. Skewton—or, as the
farmers put it, “mutton dressed lamb
fashion.” You look carelessly at
i “all modern improvements” and
seek to find, beneath what
i“, the quaint traces of
whut « as. The marks of time in n kind
old hiiiimn face are nmro attractive than
the laughing dimples in the cheek of
swept sixteen. There is an eloquent his
tory in the older liiec, which appeals to
you ns one who has been there. There is
n saucy prophecy in the young which
troubles you with speculations upon what
limy he. And hence it conies that all
! men, in some degree, are fond of recall-
, ing the past; iiiul that men and women
with minds say the old was better ;
though with the practical sense which
adapts us all to the present, we accept
I and enjoy it.
TIIE MOJIKX AMI (IIIMIIIKN I’HAYED.
Many touching mid beautiful incidents
have been related in connection with the
earthquake which lias recently shaken
the country from centre to circumference.
Some of these were under 1,he most dis
tressing circumstances, but now that it is
ail over the tender pathos comes with
power. An incident of this kind occurred
at the orphan usyluni in this city. When
the earthquake came the children were
sitting around a table. A little four-year-
old girl put her head upon the table and
when the shock was over, and she was
asked why she did it, replierj, “1 was
asking God to take care of us.”
A little boy went to his father a day
or so after the storm and in a confiden
tial yet penitant way told him that he
could tell why the earthquake came.
When asked to do so lie said, “I forgot
to say my prayers that night.”
“And the women and children
prayed.”
So state the earthquake dispatches
from Charleston and other places. It
must have been a touching, as well as a
pitiable sight. But if anything could
stay the wrath of the Almighty, still the
troubled waters und stop the rocking
earth,,it must have been the prayers of
tiioHe innocents, rising like sweet in
cense to heaven. “Men ought always
to pray," is tlidMeaching of the New Tes
tament, and doubtless some of them did
in tiiis hour of supreme
danger. However skeptical people may
pretend to bo,they are apt to call on God
in tlie hour of peril. A great deal is said
about nature and her laws, and tlie be
lief is a fleeted by ninny that no amount
of .prayer can throw the car of
nature from its. track, or in the
least change tlie plans of the Omnipo
tent, and yet people will go on calling for
help in the day of trouble. Tlie world
is not run on a chance schedule. It
moves according to harmony and law,
but it is well to remember that God is
the Great Engineer, and that not a spar
row falls to the ground without His no
tice. It is pleasing to Him that His
creatures show their dependence! upon
Him, for He made all for His glory.
Prayer is the medium of coninAinieation
between earth and heaven. It is tlie
spiritual telephone and telegraph over
which prayers and their answers are
ever ascending and descending, like
white-robed angels. God has changed
i His purposes regarding His creatures on
I certain conditions, as in ease of Ninevah.
I The true Christian believes that had the
! faith of Abraham not wavered even the
| cities of the plains would have been
i spared.
! It is a pleasing episode in the history
of the great calamity Which hus befallen
Charleston that “the women and children
prayed.” Tlie frown must have passed
from tin* countenance of the Almighty,
and tlie tumultuous earth calmed down
eve yet the work of demolition was com
plete. Who dare say that many precious
lives were not saved by those prayers?
Christians are likened to salt,which saves
from putrefaction, and to leaven, which
diffuses itself through tlie whole mass;
but prayer is the sweet incense that pro
pitiates the Creator and Maker of all. It
is to be hoped that the women and
children will ever pray, and that through
this precious agency our earth will escape
the fury of the Avenger. Don’t wait to
pray till tlie earth begins to shake or the
cyclone’s rumbling is heard, but in the
horn's of tranquility and peace pray, and
peradventure sueli calamities may. he
averted.
The Grape Tore.
This pleasant prescription is little heard in
America ; Go and eat two pounds of grapes the
first day; increase one-half pound each day un
til you eat eight pounds every day; and do this
for six weeks. In Germany, at Bingen, “where
the soldier boy layat Merau, in the Tyrol; at
Veray, etc., there are stations for the prosecution
of the grape cure, or Trauven cur, as it is there
called. These places have many guests every
year from August until November. Persons
troubled with hemorrhoids, constipation and
menstrual disorders are especially benefited by
taking grapes, as above indicated, with a crust of
bread. The grapes best adapted are those contain
ing much grape sugar. They must be entirely ripe
and fresh, and it is advised to crush them between
the tongue and palate and not bet ween the teeth,
as it will effect the enamel. After eating them
some alkaline solution must be used as a mouth
wash. The time for eating is before breakfast on
an empty stomach; then follows a little milk and
bread ; in three hours more grapes, then a light
repast, and more grapes in the afternoon. As thr
back as Deuteronomy we find, “Thou mayst eat
grapes thy fill at thine own pleasure.” The sys
tematic dietitic use of grapes is fer superior to
any laxative, in that the grapes act upon the
bowels and at the same time produce fat, and
the weight and vigor of the body is
increased. Pliny says the Romans used grapes
internally and externally—bathed in the pulp—
fbr various bowel troubles,but especially fbr long
standing diarrhoeas. They swallowed the pulp
and ejected the seed and skin. The most remark^
able point that chemistry has recently settled is,
that grape juice contains all of the alimentary
principles necessary to the human system. Some
chemist speaks of the grape as vegetable milk.
Sour and watery grapes do.no good, but actually
diminish the weight. The Hungarian grape is
the best. Our California,* or Isabellas, are
excellent. Persons who HufTer with irregu
lar digestion i and those who have
luded themselves into taking purgatives con
slant ly can find in grapes a most valuable repara
live agent. Nutrition by their use is enhanced
while the secretions and excretions are promoted
and a salutary action on the nervous 'system fol
lows. A little Hungarian wine, sweetened with
grope sugar, is a fhvorite remedy for mothers in
Germany for teething children and infantile*
diurrhrea generally. Give less opium, that locks
up all secretions, and try grapes, that increase the
action of all secreting organs and promote Iht.
Eat grapes before breakfast, so that there may
not be space for bo much breakfast bacon, batter-
cakes and other southern frying pan monsters.
An oddity of the German language is there is no |
word for a single grape. It is called eine beere—a I
berry. A bunch is traube.
