The Mysterious “Hez.” Philadelphia possesses a mystery in the shape of an invisible beneficent fairy, who writes a cramped band, worjjts by means of the post office instead of wands, magic lamps, etc., and sends its gifts in cheap yellow asylums envelopes and to the needy poor, orphan sign its identity hospitals, with no of inside beyond the single word “Hex.” These gifts of “Hez” are magnificent in proportion, and bestowed with great wisdom and the keenest insight into the necessities of each case. “Hez” is sup¬ posed to be some eccentric and chari¬ table millionaire, who means to put his money to good uses while he is alive, and not to leave it for trustees and ex¬ ecutors to quarrel over when he is dead. If there is an eccentricity in giving money while the giver is a/ive, and not by legacy, rich men will do well to imi¬ tate it. Many posthumous bequests reach in this country have failed utterly to the class for whom they were intended. Edwin Forrest bequeathed home his im¬ mense property to support a for¬ aged actors, and but one old man has ever enjoyed the stately mansion and its luxuries. There is scarely a town or city in the country which has not its testimony to give of a charitable legacy which has failed to answer the purpose of its testator. Trustees and executors are open to temptation, and the care of a large, un¬ protected trust is the strongest one which can be thrown in their way. “Hez” is wise to distribute bis tens of thousands himself, and to do it without the delay of a day, of About ten years ago a man vast wealth was showing to a lriend his col¬ lection of historical pamphlets, which was the finest in the country. “I am going to give them to the Pennsylvania Historical Society,’’ he said, “and this balance of my library to the Franklin library. I have no family, as you know, and I intend to give away all that I have before I die, leaving myself only a comfortable annuity. I have no faith in posthumous charity.” “When do you intend to do it?’’ asked his friend. He hesitated. Next month; I shall not put it off. As soon as I return from St. Louis.” He started that evening for St. Louis. The next day his friend took up a newspaper and read that the boat was burned, with most of the passengers. He was dead, and his money went to the State. He had put it off’ a day too long. Who to Marry. Many a young man is very agreeable in social parties, but can’t do much more than support himself.

What Shall Men Eat ? Norman Taylor’s Diet—The Injunction Given Through Moses—Mr.Wm.William’s Case. Tot he Editor of the Sun —Sir : The case of Mr. Norman. Taylor, who, on the first day of the New Year, ran twenty miles in two hours and twenty three minutes without apparent fatigue, on a diet of fruit, cereals and tea, breaking down a robust, beef-eating man, scarce half his age, in the middle of the race, brings up the question of the .proper food for man—a vital one in these days, in more senses than one. The earliest instruction we have on this point is in the first book of Moses, called Genesis, Chapter I., 29th verse : “And God said, Behold, I have given you every hero, bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which zs the fruit of a tree yielding seed ; to you it shall be for meat.” These words are explicit. Many men of thought believe that if a man bad followed this Divine injunction, instead of indulging in the flesh pots of Egypt, the human race would have been healthier, hardier and longer lived. If the testimony of travellers in India and othei parts of the world re¬ mote from us is to be relied upon, men who live entirely on cereals, fruit and vegetables think nothing of trotting off scoies of miles, often over <aountains, with hundreds of pounds of freight that on their backs. One writer says 800 pounds are frequently carried with ease. A little personal experience tome fifteen years ago, when skating was all the rage in Central Park and elsewhere, nearly converted me into a vegetarian. On descending a bank to the lake one evening I slipped and fell, striking my head violently and cutting my face severely. A physician who dressed ray wounds advised me to abstain from meat, ale or distilled liquors for at least ten days, as there might be danger of erysipelas. Although in the habit of partaking temporarily of the good things of this life, as they ajre called, I resolved to follow the doctor’s in¬ structions. At the end of the ten days I found myself a stronger and more ac tive man than I had ever been in all my life before. Where it previously tired me to skate or walk, half an hour( I found that I could exercise for hours without unpleasant feelings of fatigue. I kept up the vegetarian died all win¬ ter and although my labor was exhaust¬ ing, three working on the a newspaper until o’clock in morning. I fre¬ quently skated during the afternoon, worked all night, and walked home with pleasure in the morning." What to Eat. In Dr. Hall’s Journal of Health , a few years ago, this statement of the amount of nutriment in various arti¬ cles of food was given ; Apples, raw, 10 per cent.; beans, boiled, 87 per cent.; beef, roasted, 26 >er cent.; bread, baked, 80 per cent.; iutter, 96 per cent.; cabbage, boiled, 7 per cent.; cucumbers, raw, 2 per cent.; fish, boiled, 20 per cent.; milk, fresh, 7 percent.; mutton, roasted, 30 per cent.; pork roasted, 24 per cent.; poultry, roasted, 27 per cent., potatoes, boiied, 13 per cent.; rice, boiled, 88 per cent.; sugar, 96 per cent.; turnips, boiled, 4 per cent.; veal, roasted, 25 per cent.; and venison, boiled, 22 per cent. The cheapest articles of food, except butter, are the most nourishing. A pint of white beans, costing a few cents, contains the same amount of nutriment as 3J pounds of prime roasting beef, which is twelve times as expensive. Furthermore, a pound of Indian meal will go as far as a pound of fine flour. Some vegetable and fruits should enter into the family use for sanitary reasons. Among fruits, apples are wholesome, while sweet potatoes, parsnips, beets, and carrots contain the most saccharine matter, are are the most nourishing.

The Wife that Victoria does Not Recognize. London, December 17.—You will be surprised to hear that the marriage to take place between the ex-King of Hanover and the Princess Thyra of Denmark could not be solemnized with¬ out the consent of Queen Victoria, and that such consent has lately been declared under the great seal of Great Britain. The ex-King, or more correctly he would have been King of Hanover if Hanover had not b„een wiped off the European slate by Germany, is a mem¬ ber of the royal family of Great Britain the British and is Duke of To Cumberland tl.marriage in peerage. of the humblest member of the royal family the consent of the reigning monarch must be abtained,or else such marriage is not legal and the issue of it illegitimate. Hence, the children of the present Duke of Cambridge, though their mother is as good a wo nan as ever lived, are simply bastard-. The cruelty of this arranges nt has been brought before the public mind lately by the announcement that “Capt. Fitzgeorge, son of the Duke of Cam¬ bridge,” bad been appointed assistant private secretary to the Secretary of V ar. The existence of such a person¬ age was unknown to the majority of the present generation. He is a fine fellow, beloved by his father and mother, who were married years ago according to the rites of the Church, but which marriage the Queen refused to recog¬ nize, because her cousin George’s wife, the woman he loved well enough to select above all royal princesses at his disposal, was an of actress. day, And the idol so the Capt. Fitzgeorge to of society, and deemed worthy of copying so important a post in the government of the country, although the Church says he is the honest son of an honest marriage, is, according to law, only a bastard. “How long, 0 Lord! how long?”— Chicago Journal. Till mage and His Critics. Rev. Mr. Talmage devoted his ser¬ mon Sunday morning to his critics. He declared “a war of twenty-five years against the iniquity for Christ’s sake,” and said between the tabernacle and a low bed in Greenwood Cemetery there should not be an inch of retreat, indif¬ ference or compromise. He had been criticised by some of his clerical brethen as a sensational mountebank, but he “would not retort on the dear souls, but wished them all good luck, with large audiences, $15,000 salaries', a bouse full of children and Heaven to boot'.” He was so busy in assaulting the powers of darkness that he had no time to stop and stab any of his own regiment in the back. When a fellow j minister threw an ecclesiastical br:ck | at him, he would pour holy oil on that | minister’s head until it runs down on collar. He thanked the secular press for the dissemination of his ser mons Mr. Talmage emphatically de ; nied a falsehood which had invaded j the sanctity of his house. He said it had been stated in private circles and newspapers that many years ago be went sailing on the Schuylkill river with wife and her sister, when sudden¬ ly the boat capsized, and that, hiving au opportunity of saving eith u his wife or her sister, he saved her sister, marrying her sixty days after. He said he proposed “to nail that infamous lie on the forehead of the villian, man or woman, and to invoke the law to help him.’’ He then explained sister, the but calamity his it was not his wife’s own .sister. His present wife was not within j one hundred miles of the place, and so p ar from being sisters, they were j strangers, and had never heard of each i j other. --— ** - “The Chinese must go!” is a cry that 1 heard not in California only, but the [ "'hole world over «-herov« they have se ‘ led m considerable numbers.

Is this an indica¬ tion that his stock is rising, or of an improved condition of business affairs ? • It is stated that the intemperate hab¬ its, which caused the death of Beverly Douglas, the Virginia Congressman, were the result of his war experiences. Douglas was a Major in the Confederate army, and on one occasion, in a fit of passion, shot one of his own soldiers Remorse at the thought that he had killed one of his own men without suf¬ ficient reason preyed upon his mind and ultimately brought him into a mor¬ bid condition, which drove him to excessive and almost constant use of the strongest liquors.

Mr. Broy, Congregational clergyman, of Montreal, employed Dun¬ bar, sculptor, to make a bust of him. It was finished, and it was the Rev. Mr. Bray only who from was satisfied. The shall ar¬ tist was far being so. “I carry it away,” said Mr. Bray, “to de¬ light my family and congregation.’’ “You shall do nothing of the sort,” responded doubly the artist, and to make as¬ surance suie, be knocked off the nose of the bust with a broomstick. But he forgot that he had received his pay in advance, and that the work really was no longer his. So Mr. Bray sued him; he was fined $5, and con¬ demned to pay $20 damages to the sit¬ ter; and all, poor man, because he was judicially fastidious about his own work.
