In 1887 General Sherm an predicted th a t “ the most terrible war ever known /will take place in this country beforo the end of tbe c e n in r j.\ . In tbe wbcle line of onr Presidents there has not been one who waa not either a laayer or n soldier, or both. The commercial and business class has nerer furnished a representative man from its own ranks to fill the chair of Washington. I K Tbe nse of bloodhounds by polico •nd sheriffs for tracking erim insls is increasing rapidly all over the West, and aoeording to the Row York San, tbe general testim o n y is that the sni- msls are a valuable aid. Cuban blood hounds seem to be tbe favorite breed, and tbe demand appears to be mach greater than the snpply. Oakland, Cal., proposed to pass an ordinanoe reqaring tbo regiatration of all people anfferiog with consnmp tion, b a t it waa defeated, relates tbe New Orleans Picayane, on tbe gronnd that if people really knew bow many consumptives there were in that neigh borhood it wonld rain the reputation of California aa a health resort. Tbe committee in Boston bsving in charge tbe cultivation of vacant iota by the poor have made a report spesk- r ing favorably of the result o t the plan, not only for its productiveness, but for its beneficial effects generally op those who work the land. The Bos ton Committee did not use scattered lots, b a t seenred in tho imbnrbs one Irsot of s iz ty acres, and divided it in to plots of a third of an aero eaoh. Fifty-two of the lota were caltlveted, a few of them by women, assisted by children. Most of tho patches were, well oared for, and tho harvest of po tatoes and other vegetables was good. Tbe committee consider the plan a good one to create a taslo for farming among tbo unemployed in cities. Tbe New YoYk Medical Record rn te n to tbo laot th a t Dr. Snow, to whom Great B ritain owes its first im m u n ity from opidemio cholera for the last twenty-five y e a rs, and, of oonrse, for all future tim e, is almost forgotten in t h a t connlry. In commenting on this fact, Sir Biohsrd Quain recently said: \D r . Snow made ns masters of Ilia deadly plagao of cholera. Ho tbtreby saved millions of lives. Tho sole rew ard which England has con ferred apon him is m idnight o bscurity. If ho bad been • soldier,” ho con tinued, “ instead of a dootor, if he had slain his thousands, iu-tosd of saving bit millions, every town wonld havo bailed him as a hero, and the Nation wonld have honored his memory with monuments moro enduring than brats.” Dr. Snow's work cooaistol ia discovering that cholera is a water- horn disease. In a technical sense wo have no Na tional holidays, as there is nowhere n power to set a p a rt such days and com pel their obsorvinoo, deolaros tho New “ Orleans Picayune. A State can only establish • holiday within its own borders, and the authority of Con gress in th a t direction ia limited to the D istrict of Colombia and tho Ter rito ries Of oonrae • holiday prooti- cally beeomes National when it is col- obratod by ail the people of all tho States and Territories. Of these we bave only two. Christmas and tho Fonrtb of J n iy. The davs wbioh Con gress has set a p a rt aa h olidays are New Year’s Day, W a shington’s Birthday, Inauguration Day, every four years. Fourth of July, Decoration Day, In dependence Day, Thanksgiviug and Christmas. However, theso days are not ealebrated as holidays in all tbe States. New Year's Day is not a holi day in Maoaachaaettv, New Hampshire or Ithole Island. Mississippi, Arkan sas and Iowa do not celebrate officially the birthday of the F a ther of their country, Decoration Day is observed only in the North, a n d Labor Day ia a legal holiday in only aboc7 half of the States. In “A Glimpse of Longfellow,'' p u b lished in one of the magaalaes. Rev. Mwot J . Savage calls him “ the moat wTdoly read poet of tbe English-speak ing world.” T h is ia approximately tine, observes the New York W orld, and tbe caaso for it ia found in the poet's universal sym p athy with the literature of all tim es and oonutrie*. He ia the most widely read poet of America because of a ll Amcricau poets be read most widely. The exteut of bis studies is astonishing. In his youth be went deep into tb e early lit erature of England, and a Ided to tho usual college acquaintance w ith th e elasiea a knowledge of the Anglo-Sax on language and lite r a t u r e which did maeh to insure his tuccess. He went from Saxon to the Scandinavian lan guages and to old Norse ; th e n to old High G e rm a n and from th a t to Ital ian, making a translation of Dante, which if lacking in the high poetic art of the original verso will always be respectable. As a re s u lt of wide lit- •Tory .(ym p a tbiea, he was able to ap. peal to the universal hum a n n a ture. If be bod something of natural p r o vincialism in his y outh, his m aturity knew no boundary o,‘ sectiou or coun try. Bis works uavo been translated into all tbo principal languagus of Europe because by long labor be iearxud to n n d r rstauJ the common humanity that nnJerliea all differences of Nationality. .
