ELOQUENT WORDS.
Tho fienie of Doty Bather than tlie Lore
of Glory.
{Prof. TymUULJ
In his own house I had tho honor ot
an Interview with Humboldt. He ral
lied me on having contracted the habit
of smoking in Germany, his knowledge
on this head being derived from my
little paper on a water jet, where tho
noise produced by the rupture of a film
between tho wet lips of a smoker is re
ferred to. He gave me various messages
to Faraday, declaring his belief that he
(Faraday) had referred the Annual and
diurnal variation of the declination of
tho magnetic needle to their true cause
the variation of the magnetic condi
tion of the oxygen of tho atmosphere. 1
was interested to learn from Humboldt
bimself that, though so large a portion
of his life had been spent in France, he
_pever published a French essay without
•having it first revised by a Frenchman.
In those days l not m frequently found
it necessary to subject myself to a pro
ccss which I called dc.olarbation. My
brain, intent on its subjects, used to ac
quire a set, resembling the rigid polarity
of a steel magnet. It lost the pliancy
needful for free conversation, and to
recover this 1 used to walk occasionally
to Charlottenburg or elsewhere. From
my exjicricnces at that time I derived
tho notion that hard '.hulking and fleet
talking no not run together.
Far from seeing in his address a dis
play of egotism, yon will, 1 hclievc,
accept it as a fragment of tho life of a
brother who has fo't the wars of tho
battle in which many of you are now
engaged. Duty has been mentioned as
my motive force. In Germany one
heard this word much more fre (uenily
than the word glory. The philosophers
of Germany were men of tho loftiest
moral tone. In fact, they were preach
ers of religion as much ns expounders
of philosophy. It would, to a certain
extent, be true to say that from them
the land takes its moral color; but it
should bo added that the German phil
osophers were themselves products of
the German soil, probably deriving tin
basis of their moral qualities from a
period anterior to their philosophy.
I asked two Prussian officers whom l
mot in tho summer of W?t, at Pontro
sina, how tho German troops behaved
when going into battle—did they cheer
and encourage each oilier? The reply /
received was, “Never in onr expenenc
has the cry, ‘Wir mussen singlin’—w i
must eoqquur—been beard from Qormni
soldiers, but in a hundred instances we
have heard them resolutely exclaim,
Wir mussen unsor Pflichl tillin'—we
must do our duty" It was a sens’of
duty rather than love of glory that
strengthened these men and tilled them
with an invincible heroism. We in Eng
bid havo always liked the iron ring of
tho word "duty.” It was Nelson's
talisman at Trafalgar. It was the
guiding star of Wellington.
When in his days of freshness and
of freedom our laureate wrote his im
mortal odo on the death of the duke of
Wellington, portions of which both he
and others might well take to heart at
the present moment, lie poured into tho
praise of duty the full strength of his
English brain:
Not ouce or twlca In our rough island story
The path of duty wan too way to glory;
He that walks it only thirsting
For the right, amt lewis to deaden
Love ot eelf, before his journey close*
Ho shall find the stubborn thistle bursting
Into glossy purples which outreddon
All voluptuous garden rose*.
StaUriunen la Ilul Hat*.
(New York World.]
Most of the Washington ‘‘statesmen’’
wear very bad hats. Randall's is par
ticularly bad, and that of (len. l,ognu
perfectly otic naive. 'I he former ram
bles through the corridors in an ancient
“plug" that looks as if it had burn bat
tered all the way from Philadelphia,
and the latter in a cavalry "slouch’’
which seems to give pretty good evi
dence of having been used at a target
excursion. Brewster, attorney general,
is the most particular man in town
about his bats. He has them made to
order in Philadelphia, and uses about
half a dozen during a season. They arc
built, very high with a bulging crown
and a broad I rim, anti possess the ad
vantage of being equally attractive, no
matter which way brushed.
ltlaine generally strolls along in a
slouch hat, pulled well over his eyes;
Chandler always in a derbv, while'the
sprightly Ingalls, of Kansas, carries an
opera hat, which lie can flop up aud
down to suit his convenience. President
Arthur's hats are models. They are the
only ones of the kind, and the kind is’
good. They are tall silk-head coverings,
nearly straight, with broad brim ami a
slight curve near the crown. Mr. Arthur
has them made in New York. William
Walter Phelps, notwithstanding the ele
gant cut of his clothes, docs not pay
lunch attention to his hats. .Some ol
them could be appropriately worn by the
cud ruan at negro-n astral show.

[w Orleans Time*-Democrat.]
Rio de Janeiro, says an American
steamship captain, is now one of the
cleanest and most healthy cities I know.
It usod to bo one of the filthiest amt
most unhealthy. When I>om Pedro
came here in the centennial year, ho
carefully studied the sanitary' regula
tions of American cities. He got his
ideas, and when he went home he put
them m practice. P.io de Janeiro is now
in a constant state of scouring and dis
infecting. Tlie most rigid sauitary
laws are in force. The markets are not
allowed to be open after 7 o'clock in the
morning, and they are kept as clean as
they possibly can be. The tables are all
of marble, and the floor is paved, so that
the whole market can bo tboroughlv
washed every day. I>ead beef is not al
lowed to be carried through the streets
on opeu wagons, but must be covered.

STRUCK IT RICH.
;Epitaph in AJbemsrte County. Virginia.]
Hera lies a poor woman who was always
tired,
TV ho lived in a house where the help wasn't
hired.
Her lest words on earth were: “Dear friends,
I am going
Where no washing is done, nor yet swooping
or sew ing;
For everything there is exact to my w'shes,
For there they don't eat—there’s no washing
of dishes.
DU be where loud anthems will always be
ringing.
But. having no voice, I’ll be rid of the sing
tog.
Don’t mourn for ms now, don’t mourn for
me ever;
IT! be doing nothing forever and ever.
CALIFORNIA'3 FRUIT.
Jtenraih the Vine and Plum-Tree - Lus
cious Clusters autl Ch.be* of Amethyst.
[•’Driven from Hta toßea’'J
It has been said that the only thing
which ever diatauced a California grape
vine when once it got down to the busi
ness of growing, is the bean-vine of
Jack tbo Giant Killer, known to onr
childhood days; the one that .Jack un
dertook jo climb to tho top of, but
which grew faster than ho could climb,
and so carrying him with it finally
reached clear up to tho grant's castle.
And such clusters of fruit as hang
dependent upon their mms, and grow
and ripen in tho long sunny daVk of
September and October, when not a
cloud mars the blue of the sky for weeks
and weeks; clusters that look like pure
globes of clear crystal; or that turn
purple and amber-colored wltero they
hang among tho broad, velvety leave’s
that seem as if conscious of the beauty
of the picture which they help to make;
and which turn themselves sideways
upon their long stems, now hiding, now
disclosing the Iruit in their midst.
The California grapes shipped by re
frigerator car.-, and exposed for sale at
tho fruit stands in all our eastern cities,
aud which attract such universal atten
tion, give but a [x<or idea of California
grapes when plucked and eaten standing
beneath the vino in California, or sit
tin : at ease at your own table, with the
sea or the mountains in sigtit through
the open window. day iho tougher
skinned or less luscious of the fruiis ot
nil kinds will bear such long shipping.
The finer and juicier and more luscious
varieties of each must be eaten where
they aro grown, or bo sent to a not dis
tant market.
California plums are wrapped in tissue
pa(sir and sent east boxed up liked
oranges from Florida or the West Indies,
and sold “a nickel apiece, or three for a
dime,” to people who buy them as a
curiosity; or a very rare treat. At home
in California tho children eat them as
children cat apples in Now England,
and the housewife drops them into
liquid sugar and takes them out great
globes of pearl with centers of amethyst
Mr she cuts them iu halves, and, remov
ing the pit, lets them dry In the sun.
and stores them away in sa-ks ami
boxes just as she docs figs and grapes;
only that these latter are packed down
hard when but little more than half
dried, and before tho rich juices have
crystallized into sugar; and which, eaten
as freely os bread is eaten, flushes the
veins with rich blood that crimsons the
cheeks of children and grown people
alike lu this land of fruits and flowers.

Speaking of the Fifth avenue, the
loneliest macc in this city is the Stewart
place. There is the .usual display ol
fashion on the pave of the Fifth avenue,
but it floes not penetrate the darkened
windows and massive walls 8f the grand
house. Tho latter stands back from the
street fully thirty feet, for Stewart s
taste required a dignified retirement.
Viewed in front the immense tfrnctnn
appear* like the abode of silenco. The
curtains are down and tho broad porch
which graces Thirty-fourth street is sel
dom entered till evening, and, in fact,
the vast establishment resembles a mau
soleum.
What is to become of it? This is a
very interesting question. It is now oc
cupied by an old widow with her house
keeper and the servants. The former,
since iter return from tsiratoga, seldom
leaves the building, but the latter can
easily step out by the rear gate,- foi
they never use tho grand entrance.
Judge Hilton nr Mr. Libby frequently
makes each a short call. lr. Matey is
occasionally in, hut these exceptions
hardly break the long monotony. How
strange seems this house silence in the
very center of fashionable activity! In
tho future disposition of this property
judge Hilton will probably inlqprit the
picture gallery’, which contains some ot
tho liuest modem masterpieces, and
then Hie rest of tho immense estate will
proli®ly go to Mr. Stewart's uicces, the
Clinches and other relatbcs. The pal
-ace will be emptied by the auctioneer,
and the splendid building will probably
become a club house.
