" THE SIEG c OF GIBRALTAR. <* The thiaurcessfni Atiaiupt of Spain to Re. gain tlie Portree*. The most memorable siege in history wus the unsuccessful attempt of Spain to regain in 1779 the fortress of Gib raltar, which England had taken by storm a few years before. For three years and seven months the strong hold was invested by a large force of all arms, and a practically uninter rupted Are from 135 guns, including some fifty mortars of thlrteen-inch cal ibre, was maintained from January 12, 17811, till February 2. 1783. Meanwhile the gallant, little garrison was only once relieved, aud suffered all the pangs'of starvation, not unmlngled wnh a feeling of despair; still they clung to the gigantic rock, repelling attack after attack with indomitable courage and endurance, and inflicting enormous losses on their opponents. The most Interesting and exciting episode during this long siege was the ferocious attempt made by the Span lards toward the close, when they strained every nerve to dismay and overcome the already exhausted but still unflinching garrison. More than 50,000 troops and 170 pieces of ord nance of large calibre were at the dis posal of the Spanish general, and an Ingenious type of floating batteries, strongly resembling the famous "cheese boxes on rafts" of the late war, had been devised by the Dons, who expected great things of them in the meditated assault. The numbers of the opposing forces were ludicrously disproportionate. Be sides the above mentioned troops and guns the Spanish possessed nlne.lino of-battleships, fifteen gun or mortar boats, covered boats sufficient to land nearly 40,000 men, and in addition the ten floating batteries, which consisted of large vessels, protected by a banking of timber seven feet thick, and the decks and guns screened with a slanting roof of shot-proof ma terial. To this gigantic armament the de fense could only oppose some 7,000 men, many of them sick or wounded, and all reduced to scanty rations for many months past; ammunition was limited, and the cannon even then were antiquated. On September 8, 1782, fire was opened on the fortress at a preconcerted sig nal by the entire strength of the Span ish artillery, both on land and afloat. The floating batteries were inoored within half-range and proved Indeed invulnerable to shot and shell, which lastd all night and day until late on the 12th, On that day the garrison, unable to make any Impression on the fleet, whose efforts were beginning to give the small force of defenders con siderable trouble and inconvenience, conceived the brilliant idea of loading their guns with red-hot shot and burn ing shells, which, though of little or no penetrating power, turned out to be very effective against the wooden sides of the battleships and gunboats; In fact, within a very few hours every one of the floating batteries lay per fectly quiescent on the water, a useless mass of burning hulks. The endeavors and energy of the de fenders finally prevailed over the vast numerical superiority of their oppon ents-, and on the 14th of the month the desperately conducted attack was given np and the Spanish troops retired to their linos, severely crippled by the enormous losses they had suffered, winter quarters were taken up, the bombardment practically abandoned, and peace was declared on the 2d of February following. Thus ended the most memorable siege that can be found In the pages of history; remarkable for many reasons, but most of all for the small loss of life among the defenders, who, during the three years and a half that the Invert nent lasted, lost In all but 500 men, while they inflicted on the enemy k total joss of several thousand lives. S Military Courts*, The question of the comparative pro portion of ideally brave men In any army will probably never be determin ed. Great officers on the Continent keep their knowledge on that subject rigorously as a professional secret, and assume as a certainty that all soldiers are brave. They know very well, how ever, that they are not, and when con fidential will admit, as Marshal von Moltke once did in public, that with a great number It takes discipline, and severe discipline, too, to induce them to face shells unshrinkingly. Ameri can officers have been known to ac knowledge that of their men, who are aa brave as any In the world, 20 per cent, would run away If they could, and In every army, even ours, which a man enters only of free will, there is a certain proportion who literally cannot overcome their fears. They are etricken with a sort of paralysis. The proportion Is probably not high in any army, the majority, If in health, being able to do their duty, and having in tense motives to do It; but neither Is the proportion high of those who lit erally feel no fear. There are such men who do not quite understand what the emotion Is, as there are also some who have in extreme danger a sense of pleasure, which sometimes not only quickens their blood, but distinctly Increases their intellectual force. This is said to have been true of Gen. Plcton, who, though a hard, rough man, was an "angel when bullets were about"; and was undoubtedly true of the first Lord Gough, who had a trick, highly disa greeable to his staff, of seeking points of full exposure to the enemy's fire. "Yes," she sighed, "for many years fve suffered from dyspepsia." "And you don't take anything for ft?" her friend asked. "You look healthy enough." -Oh," she replied, "it's my husbaod that hae it." . it Army. Tccle Sam'f bill for his 186,000 sol diers is ever $50,000 & clay, and if the war keept up for a year it will reach the fine figure of $15,000,000. The old fellow is feeding more soldiers than there are people in Jersey City or New ark; more than the total population of Colorado or West Virginia. This, of course, doesn't take Into account the thousands of men employed as civil ians by the War Department, or util ized by it in transporting and issuing the food. Many of these men, too, are fed by the Government, By buying in large quantities, the cost of the army ration is brought down to eighteen cents a day, which is about as cheap in price and a great deal better in quality than the ration of the Bowery lodging house. Then, to the eighteen cents is to be added four cents for the transportation and issuing of the food. This, of Itself, for a year, would cost $2,715,600. The army rations for one day for this vast body of soldiers amounts to 605,895 pounds, or nearly 303 tons. For a year the enormous total would be re quired of 221,151,675 pounds, or over 110,575 tons, which means that a ton of rations costs $135. In the army ra tion are a dozen constituents —bacon, hard bread (which is hard tack, or crackers, six Inches in diameter), beans, potatoes, coffee, sugar, molasses, vinegar, salt, soap, candles and black pepper. This ration is about a third less in quantity than that served by the State of New York to its soldiers. Notwithstanding, there is such an ex cess in the quantity of the Govern ment ration that by drawing a commu tation of rations in money, other kinds of food can be bought according to the needs or the taste of the individual companies. A regiment. Including only the sol diers, eats more than a ton and a half of food a day. In measure of weight this seems a good deal, but when the cost is considered, it is ridiculously small —six cents a meal for three square meals a day, or about $lBO for an entire regiment Every day the army consumes 69 tons of bacon, and In a year. 25,458 tons. Any butcher can tell how many hogs It takes to turn out this item in the ration. A pound of hard bread or hard tack and a pound of potatoes go to each soldier once a day. • A year's consump tion of potatoes would be 1,131,500 bushels. The whole army eats 93 tons of each a day. Beans are highly nu tritious, more so, in fact, than pota toes, and S3 tons, baked and in soup, are consumed by the army every day. Butter is not a part of the ration, but sugar Is, and of the sweet seasoning as much is supplied as of beans. The army recognizes hut two stimu lants —coffee and tobacco. Tobacco is not a part of the ration, hut the Gov ernment supplies it at cost. The cof fee, if well made and served hot, will go as far as any article of food to ward cheering up the soldier In the early morning, and before going on guard at night, as well as when com ing off bis post Bach day the army uses 7 tcne cf coffee, and in the course of a year, 2,715 tons. Sugar, but no milk, goes with the coffee, though milk, like butter, and other articles called luxuries, can be had through the process of commutation of rations. lie Wit* His Own Kecommendatlon. When a merchant bad hired an of fice boy, oue out of fifty applicants who answered his advertisement, a friend asked: "How did you come to select that fellow, who didn't have n single recommendation?" "He had a great many," replied the merchant. "He wiped bis feet when he came in, and closed the door after him. showing that he is careful; gave up his seat to that lame old man, showing that he is kind and thought ful; he took off his cap when he came in, unsweriug my questions prompt ly and respectfully, showing that be is polite ami gentlemanly; he picked up n book which 1 had purposely laid on the floor, and replaced It on the table, while all the rest stepped over It or shoved it aside; and he waited quietly for his turn, instead of push ing or crowding. When I talked to him I noticed tliut his clothes were carefully brushed, his hair in nice or der, and his teeth as white as milk; and, when he wrote his name, 1 no ticed thnt his finger nails were clean, instead of being tipped with jet, like those of that handsome little fellow in the blue jacket. Don't you call these things letters of recommendation? I do, and I would give more for what I can tell about a boy by using my eyes ten mlnute6 than for all the let ters of recommendation he can give me." The selection proved a wise one. The Incident shows that a mother who Is teaching her boy good manners and habits of self-respect may be pro viding him with a capital more sub stantial than a bank account.—Suc cess. A Remarkable Case. The aloe, which is used so largely for pills, &c., comes from quite a dif ferent plant to that which is famed as blossoming once In a hundred years or so. The latter is the American aloe, while the aloe of medicine Is the Aloe Socotrlna, so called from the is land of Socotra, of which place it is a native. Every ton of Atlantic watei when evaporated yields 811b. of salt, a ton of Pacific water 791b., Arctic and Antarc tic waters yield 851b. to the ton, and Dead Sea water 1871b.

Ornithologists have discovered that crows have no less than twenty-seven cries, each distinctly referable to a different action. The nests of the termites, or white ant, are, proportioned to the size and weight of the builders, the greatest structures in the world. The earliest pottery which printed designs of American subjects was made at Liverpool at the end of the eighteenth century. The Russian state scepter is of solid gold, three feet long, and con tains among its ornaments 268 dia monds, 360 rubies and 15 emeralds. In Sweden there are floating can neries. They are small vessels, which follow fishing fleets, and men on them can fish while they are fresh It was once customary in France when a guest had remained too long for the host to serve a cold shoulder of mutton instead of 4 hot roast. This was the origin of the phrase ''to give the cold shoulder." Cats can swim if they only care to exert themselves sufficiently. The ancient Egyptians used to fish with them on the Nile, according to the representations on walls and so lorth that have come down to us. The most magnificent tomb iD the world is deemed to be the palace tem ple ot Karnak, occupying a space of nine acres, or twice that of St. Peter's at Rome. The temple space is a poet's dream of gigantic columns, beautiful courts and wondrous avenues of sphinxes. Out of the 84 women admitted to the St. Louis Insane Asylum last year, 68 were from domestic service. The rest of the list comprised one clerk, one factory hand, one music teacher, one saleswoman, two seamstresses, one tobacco stemmer, six without oc cupation and three unknown. The recently completed tower at New Brighton, the top of which is 620 feet above the level of the Old Dock still at Liverpool, is the highest structure in England. The tower itself is 570 feet in height. The similar structure at Blackpool measures but 518 feet, leaving its new rival with an advantage of 5 2 feel. A coal mine in Scotland which caught fire over fifty years ago and has been burning ever since has at last burned itself out. The mine is on the Daiquharran estate, Dailly. It was set on fire by the engines which worked the fans, and although many costly attempts have been made to ex tinguish it they have been unsuccess ful. Denmark makes a clear distinction between the thriftless and the respect able poor. The former are treated like English paupers. The latter never cross a workhouse threshold. If desti tute, they receive a pension ranging from $l4 to $B4 a year; or, if too feeble to look after themselves, they i are placed in an old-age home. The Scarcity of Tin Ore. The fact that tin, of all the metals in common use, is only sparingly dis tributed throughout the world is again called attention to by an Australian geologist, Mr. B. J. Skertchley, who has published a monograph upon the subject. While the known gold fields of the world cover more than 1,500,- 000 square miles, the tin fields have an area of less than 12,000 square miles. Thus," for every square mile of tin ground there are 132 square miles of gold-bearing country. There are seven tin districts in Europe, pro ducing about 8,300 tons yearly, of which the Cornish mines yield about 8,000 tons. Asia has two tin areas— Hunan, in China, estimated by some of the best authorities to produce 10,- 000 to 20,000 tons a year, but proved _ 1 OABTORIA. Bean the The Kind Yeu Han Always Mt by official figures to yield less than 2,500 tons, and the Straits Settle ments and adjacent principalities, yielding 58,000 tons yearly, the rich est yield in the world. Africa has no known tin mine ; North America no payable mine; South America only one tin area Bolivia and Peru, yield ing less than 4,000 tons a year, and Australia, the youngest, contributes about 6,000 tons a year.
