From the same story we get this anecdote of General Washington: Wa-hineton had accepted an invitaion from Arnold to brt;uktast with biiu at West Point ou tan very day the plot was discovered, but win prevented irotn keeping bis enirairement by what men call chance by the earnest request, Btmely, ot an old officer, n-ar whose statiou they passed, to spend the night there and inspect some worki in the neighborhood. hi-xi day, while Washington, with his siaf, including La'ajette, were tented at table at this tticer'e quarters, a despatch was brought to the Americal general, which he immed ately opened and read, then laid it down without comaieut. No hi eration was visible in his countenance, but he remained perfectly silunt. Coovere.ai.ion droppid amor his suite; and, alter soue minutes, toe general, beckoning La fayttte to follow him, paired to an inner apartment, turned to his youcg iriend without uttering1 a syllable, placed the fatal despatch in his hand, aud then, pmng way to an ungovernable buret ot feeling-, fell on hu ne: k and soDiici aloud. Tbe effect produced ou the youiit; Freuch uiarquU, accus tomed to retard his general (cold aud digoifiad in bin usual manner) a devoid ot the usual wakoe-ses of hum inity, may be ImasjlneJ. "I believe,' said Lafayette in relating this anecdote, 'that this was the only occasion, throughout that long aud sometimes hopolesj etruL'gle, that Wa'hitgton ever gave way. evei for a moment, under a reverse ot fortune; and pwbup 1 was the only human being who ever witnched in bun aii exhibition ot feeling so foreign to his temperament. As it was, he recovered himself be'ore I had perused the commuuiciition that had civen rue to hi emo tion; aud when we returned to his staff not a truce remained on bis 'cjuntenance either ot grief or de9poudencj.'" Old maids are thus discussed in the article entitled "New Wine in Old Battles:" 'There is a stigma of reproach cast upon the term 'o d maid' too otten justly so, I mini it. But where dej the lauit lie? 1 snow two women who may be clawed in this category unmarried, lorty years old, or thereabouts. Both are of eood lamily, the daughters ot wealthy men. Ttie one. some dozen years ago, Cnding, as no eeueible woman can tail to bud, that liibbiocable Hie hud notbinz in it to satisfy her, made a stand tor herself. Sne told her family that the must have a life of her own. She had no especial eiUs, except a remarkable aptitude lor business inherited fiom hpr lather. In a quiet way she had turned her attention to fruit-growing, a branch of industry offer- jug luoujr mil no.lUIja IU Qf aD' lV?1' bus1ne,i8 ,bhe. netetmlned to enter. 0Ilo.-kriy, she had sufficient money, left her dv ntr grandialher, to be able to carry out her plans, despite the sneers of her fashionable acquaintance, and the objections aud obstacles raised by the home circle. 8Ue established her BClf on a fruit farm iu tue western part of this Hi ate. Her work prospered. Now 6he is ttie owner of several hundred acre9. and has con stant and remunerative occupation of a kind agreeable to her. Altera few years her fattier died, and, instead ot the rica man he was esti mated, be was found to be bankrupt. Tuis daughter had a comfonaole home and support to Oder her mother and invalid sister. Kiin hA quite a eetllement ol work-people, men aud women, to whom she and her sister minister iu various ways. In fact, she lives a lite whictt is uceiul to others and develops her own powers, and in tbe consciousness of that she ftnds hap piness and peace." Mr. James S. Barnes writes as follows about Thackeray's "Barry Lyndon": " 'The Lack of Barry Lyndon' Is a unique in literature en original loea most successfully, it not agreeably, carried oat. It is theauti bicgrapby of a man who is thoroughly heart lese, teltibh and cepraved; low aud brutul in his tastes, coarse and rutn&nly in language, feelings, and demeanor; to all appearance without a redeeming trait; yet wbo looks upon himself as a highly respectable, exemoiary and much-Injured character, aud j untitles all bis own villainies with an earnestness, a sincerity, and an unsuspecting good faith which would deceive the very elect. There has never b9en a novel in which Hie author is so completely identified wh hi ir nardon tor using the parage: we should rather sav. so completely lost in the hero. It is not Mr. Thackeray who speaks; it Is Mr. Barr I.vndon: a-id Mr. IHrry Lyndon pleads his own cast) as it' he already had tbe jury on bis side, and were certain ot the sytnp-tlby aud countenHnce ot every honest mau in the box. The taieut for personation displayed is wonder! u I." Miss Anne M. Brewster, in her article about 'Amerloan Artists in Rome," speaks thus re apeotlng Bead's picture of "Sheridan's Ride:" "In Buchanan Read's etudio is another flue national picture, which has becu ordered by yentleniaa of San Francisco. This picture is a deeply interesting one tor double reasons. The subject is 'Bberidau's Ride.' It is a fid all copy of the hrge picture of 'Sheridan's KidV which, when Qniabed, is to be placed in the Union League of Pniladelp'ita. Ttie General is on horieoHCk, an J he aud his horse are m full tilt on that great ride wbicn made the General so famous, aud which Mr. Kea1 his conimemo rated iu a poem as welt known as tbe great ride The General's face is a; eager and full of fire as the superb horso is of mettle and speed. Tlie ye ot the horre is bloodshot, tue nostrils dilated, and from the mouth tails a fleet ot foam. Tbe rapid motion of the animal Is huely expressed, the wuole oaiutinir is lull of spirit and life: it is the pcem and the warl.ke act iu Tlie Galaxy." From Justin McCarthy's article on "Queen Victoria and her Subjeots" we take the fol lowing: The verv vlrtaes of Quoen Victoria have rontnboted materially toward the extinction o tbe old-fai-hioued sentiment of living, active innltv. The English people had fron the time at leaitt of Anne to our own day a sueeealoo of bad nrinces. Oolv a race pa'.leut as lssacuar could have enduied ucb a fine of sovereigns as 11. ttporee III. aud George IV. Tb"n eme W'.iliainlV. who being alittlo less stupidly nitlnnt than George HI. and not so grossly corrupt as Op ire IV, was hailed lor a while as tbe Patriot King by peoow who were omj o snxloiiB not td lose all their hereditary arid troitti.r.l yenermloti. l)j whit tbey would, bowe re r, the KnglUh nation eould not get into any sincere transports of admiration ahoiit. the 1'a'r.ot King; ami tl cy soou found tbar.i any popular re;orm worth having was to be got raider In spite of thu l'a'rlot Kin than h.y virtoe of any patriotism In tbe monarch.

Ljynlty did not gain mueh Dy the rstorro ot that ruign. Tien followed the young Victoria; an i cn huasru for a while waketied up Iresh aod genuine over the ascension ot the comely and simide-neartd girl, who was so frauK and winning; who ran down sta'rs iu her niht-dres rther than keep hrr venerable councillors waiting when tbey sought her out at midnight; who openiy acknowlcdget her true love tor her cousin, and oOered him ber hand; who was a; once queculy and maidenly, innocent and tearless. "But this tort ot tbiug did uot last very.loni. Prince Albert was never popular. He wascold; propleaid he was sitnRj ; hii very virtues, and tbey were genuine, were not such as anyooJy, except bis wre and lamily, warmly admires in a man; he was indeed misundetstuo I. or at all events misprized in Kpglan.l, up to the close of his life. 'Jbeu the gates ot the convent, to to freak, closed over tbe Queen,and rojalty ceased to be mu animating presence in England. 'The young men and women of to daypersons who have not passed the age of twenty-one can hardly remember to hive ever seen the Sovereign, fcbe is to them what the M kado is to his people. Haven years of absolute seclusion on tbe part of a monarch must in any esse he a sad trial to per sonal lojalty, at least in the royal capital. A c nBlderntjleand an Influential section of Q leeu Victoria's sub)ects in t ho metropolis have long b"fn very angry with their sovereign. The tailors, the milliners, tbe dressmilt ers, the jew ellers, tbe perfumers; all the shopkeepers 01 the Wet End wbo make profit out ot court dinners and balls and presentations, are furious at the rojal seclusion which they believe had injured their businets. Ko, too. are the aristocratic residents of tbe West Knd, who do not caTe n uch about a court which no lougur contrib utes to tbeir season's gaycty. 8o, too, are all tbe flunkey ciass generally. Now, I am sure there are no three sections or the popula tion of London more influential In the spreading ot ECindal and the nursing of this discontent than tbe shopkeepers, the aristocrats, aud the nun keys of the est End. These are actively and demonstratively dissatisfied wi'h the Queen. These it is who spread dirty scandals about her, and laugh over vi'o lampoons and caricatures 01 which e be Is the object. ''Every one knows that there is a low, mean ecanda; afloat about theQueeu and it is spread by the clubs, the dr awmg-rcoms, the shops, and tbe servants' halls of (he West End. 1 nui convitced that not one of those wno spread the scandal really believes it; buttbev like tospread it because they dislike tbe Queen. There can be no doubt, however that much dlsatUlac tion at the Queen's long eechi.-iou is felt by persons who sre incapable of harboring any nii tives so mean or spreading any calumnies so una or thy. Most of the London papers have aiwae lound fault ra-ber sharply and not over ueci ntiy with the royal retirement. Mr. Ayr ton, representative of the Tower Uanlets the largest constituency in England openly ex pressed this sentiment at a public meeting; and though his remsrks were at once replied to and condemned by Mr. Bright, they met with a more or lees cordial reeponEe from most of his audence. ' There is or was iu the House of Commons (the general election ha9 eot happily rid of him), a foolish person named Reardon, a Picca dilly anctioneer, who became, by what we call in England 'a fluke,' a member ot the House of Commons. This per.-on moved last session a resolution, or something ot tbe ktud, calling on the Queen to abdicate. The thing was laughed down poor Mr. Reardon's previous career had been fo absurd that anything coming Irom him would be hoo'.ed; and tbe House ot Commons is fiercely intoleruut of bores' and men with crotchets. But I have reason to believe that Mr. Reardon's luckless project was concocted : - a dele""''-" Loudm tradesmen and had, V3 - -C IVI y ...... - ' -.- v ' tb sympathy Of tue whole class; and I know that many members of the House which hooted and lavghed him down had in private over and over agaiu erumbled at the Queen's retirciaent, and declared that she ought to abdicate. " 'What on earth does it matter,' I asked of a member of parliament one of the most accomplished scholars and sharp logicians in the House 'what on earth does It matter whether or not the Queen gives a few balls to a tow thousand West End people in tbe season?' How can ratioual people care, one way or the othrr?' 'My dear fellow,' was the answer, 'I don't care; but all that sort of thing is her buslue;s, and she is tmid to do U. and she ouL'ht to do it. If she were a washerwoman with a family, sue would have to do her work, no matter what hr grief.' Now this gentleman who is utterly above any sympathy with scandal or with the lackev-liae grumoimnB i mo uuu-um, undoubtedly, express tatriy enougn a growing mocd of the publlo dissatisfaction." In his work entitled "Coffee and its Adul terations in New York," Dr. Draper gives an account of one of the principal articles used for adulteration, and how it is in its turn adulterated: "The foreign substances used In the adulters tion of cotlte are very numerous, but that generally employed is chiccory, succory, or wild endive, wuicn may De seen growing who in tne vacant lots in various parts of New York Uland, and in the fields in its vicinity. It may be recog nised by its flower, which is ot a blue color; it generally opens at about eight iu the morning, ana clones at rour iu xne uiteruoou. me root is perennial, yellow vn the outside, aud about the thickness of the finger; chiccory was formerly, and Is still regarded by many as a weed, but, nevertheless, it is use 1 in some countries as food for cattle; it is said to increase the Yield of milk. When td tncned It makes an excellent salad, and is very generally employed lor this purpose iu the eprlug. The root is the patt uted in the adulieratioa of codec, and the plant is extensively cultivated for this purpose in Belgium, Germany, Englaud, and lor our home mitiket 011 Long Islaud. It is taken up iu September, scraped aud carefully washed, then split and cut into lengths of two or three inches, dried in tin oven, and sent into the market in bags. For the purposes ot the codes adulteration it is afterwards cut into smull pieces, roasted, nnd ground to a coar e pawner, resembling ordinary cotl'ue; and in this state sold lor about b 1 teen cents a pound, good cotl'je being worth forty-five or fifty cent.-'. ''Tbe deco.tion of the uuroasted root is bitter, and was formally given as au aperient and attenuating: medicine; that of the roa-aeJ powder has amawkinh taste, between molasses and liquorice. It is hardly nccpssary to say that the market value arises solely from lis emDlojment tor the purpose of adulterating cotlee.

"If the buer of ground ooflee could feel asur d that the ariicle he purchased was only adul'eistfd with chicory, he might perhaps continue to ufp, and iu the course of time even become accustomed to i', without having his a p peti 'e tor the beverage disturbed; but while tbe coffee adulterator is chuckling at tbe cbet be nraciiseson tbe conbumer, he is In bis turn tbe victim of tbe tricks of the chiccory detker, wbo, profiting by tbe example of his customer, adds to his t hiecory refuse carrots, parsnips, turniDs. snolled biscuit, corn, peas and beans. acorns, burnt sugar, sawdust, red earth, burnt rani, oakum or rope yarn, exhausted tank or ou bark, tax residue, aud oUt liuUnrappe timing Sob'tflTice.

" Tue Atlautic" From the Article on "Cooperative House keeping" we make the following extracts: A LOST GENIUS. "I knew a woman once, gifted so'extraordlno rily by God that she migat have been a tl rist, a musician, an artist, a phys'.clan, a teacher, au evangelist, since to tbe ma-tery of any oue ot these callings she tould have brought a nearly equal power and passion. Whatever ber fiery mind lastened upon it fused into itself, nor was there anything ber cunning right band sought to do In wbicn it did not excel. At fouitcen her precocity was so great that her fatber cut short ber studies, because she 'anew enough for a woman,' aud made ber a teacher in his school. At sixteen she married a young clergyman. Children came fast. Her health gave way, but her energy remained. Khe was Lever idle a moment; but. alas ! neither fatber nor husbaod nor one ot all her twelve brothers and brothers-in-law saw that it would be better economy to give toe genius they were ail so proud of, a musical or an artistic cr a medical education, tbat she might pay with her earnings some commoner nicital to make clothes for her little ones, than to let her do it herself witn the pam'ul toil ot tbe needle. And she bad been brought up with too larrow a veiou of won an's duties and destinies to understand berselt that she was wasting ber lite and abusing her poweis. All her ready gifts were, in her eyes, merely appro priate feminine 'uccoruplishmenis.1 and to make fame or money out ot toeui never occurred to ber as a possibility, far less as a duty. And yet her mind was ever in a lever of desire, of invention, ot agonized stnving lor the reali zaiion of the drexms of beauty, of be neiicence, ot fneudsuip, tbat tormented her. Tbe music rang in her ears; the pictures floated before her ejies; tbe fearful and wonderful human organism haunted berbri n; the dread mysteries of siu and Buffering, tbe awlnlnessof human re?ponsibtlitv, the glories of salvation, burt,ed upon ner lips as she taught her children their daily Bible leBson; and stilt, nailed to her chair, the swift needle west in and out weut, as it often seemed to her, through her delicate lungs as well as through the cloth until at nine-aud thirty the struggle ended; tbe body, alter long paroxysms o: exqui site anquish, gave up its strong hold on lite. and the rich soul exhaled aay to heaven, rejoicing to escape from the bars against which it had so long beaten its bright wings in vain. I saw ber in her coffin, with an expression of lreedom and exaltation upon ber marble fea lures tbat seemed a glory reflected down from her now triumphing lar-otf spirit, and I resolved to remember tbe woe and earthly wreck of her thwarted natuie, and pever 19 cease until I saw gcniM w lor wbmeh than this which can so hoirlbly waste and abase their finest poweie. D0CTKES8ES VS. DOCTORS. 'Nothing will ever make me believe that Go 1 meant men to be the ordinary physicians of women and babies. A tew masculine exptrts might be tolerated In special institutions, so that eases of peculiar danger aud difficulty might not be leit, as tbey ate now, to the necessarily one-sided treatment ot a tingle Eex; but In gene ral, if ever a created being was conspicuously and intolerably out of his natural sphere, it Is, in my opinion, tbe male doctor in the apartment ot the lymg-tn woman; and I think our sex is reauy guilty, in tne nrst piace, mat 11 ever allowed men to appear there; and, in tbe second, that it docs not lns'ist upon educating women of character and intelligence and social position ior inat posr. "indeed, common oeiicaey would seem to de mand that all the special diseases of women should ba treated principally by women; but this aside, and speaking from common sense only, men may be as scientific as tbey please it is plain that thoroughly 10 know tbe woman's organism, what is good f.,r it and what evil, and now 11 can nest oe cureu wnen it is disordered, one Qust be one's self a woman. It only proves how much unworthy passion and prejudice the great doctors allow to Intrude into their adora tion of 'pure science' and boasted love of hu manity, that, instead ot being eager to enlist the leminine intuitions and investigations in this great cause, as tbeir best cnauce of arriving at truth, they are actually enac.lng the ignoble part of churls and misers, it not of quacks. For are tbey not well enough aware that often tbeir womeu patients are so utterly beyond them that they do not kuow what to dowithtberuf The diseases of tbe age are nervous diseases, aud women are growing more nervously high-strung and uncontrollable every day, yet the doctors stand helplessly by and cannot stop It. Wtin, however, there shall be a school of doc're.ssps of Mgb culture and thorough medical education going in and out among tne sex with tne proper medical authority, they will see, and will b i able to prevent, much of the moral and physical neglect and imprudence which, no v unchecked in school aud home, make such havoc of tbe vital forces of the present genera tion. Buch a guardian of household health ml 'lit have been the pi or. heart-broken genius who never found her true place in tbe leimnine com munity. For sLe bravely preached the la s of healih in every family, wbde her presence in a s:ck-ioorn was almost that of a savior. People sent for her for miles round, and ofieu healing teemed to wait upon ber coming, such new bope and confidence could she inmee iu'o the patieut. The very touch ot her warm aud skillful hand; the quickuess ot ber sympathy and comprehen sion : her counigc, decision, auJ presence of mind iu cases of great danger; her observation of every minutest symptom all marked her out as one ot Nature's great pracUtiouer, while her enthusiacm tor anatomy aud piiytiolo ey seemed to show tbut, it she could bave hud tbe opportunity, she would bave beeu also a true and pure 8Dd tlielcss devotee of science. Her popularity drew her at one time Into so wide an annteur practice that she lound she was neglectlug ber home dunes for it. and g ive it up tor the ske of her sewing. But how much more appropriate and grateful would ber minis tration have been a mother herself, a baby nurse absolutely perfect, and with tbe most sensitive and at the same time tha steadiest nervous orgsuizft'iou in the world at th bed side ot her trlends and neighbors in their nee I, than the services of the oninary couutry doc tors who did officiate there 1" From Mr. Eugene Benson's eritioal notioe of Charles Baudelaire we make the following extracts: "Baudelaire is as unique and Interesting as 'Han iet.' He la that tare and unknown being, a genuine poet a poet in iheuildstof things that bave disordered bis spirit a poet execs It el J developed In his ul by art and beauty, havific a remitrkable tv-nchant for coraiu strange ldea, very responsive to the Ideal; very greedy ot ssnaaiton.
