The Cenkllug family Is a talented one. Ilosceo'n father, Alfred Cenkliug, was an eminent law) or, member of congress in lb21-23, JuJre of the United Statci dis trict court for tlie Northern district of New Yerk from 1823 te 1852, and minister te Mexico for a short term. One son, Frederick A. Cenkllng, wen high honors In the army, and served one term in eon Kress, and a daughter, Margaret (Mrs. Steele), ha some renown as an authoress; but both aiti te seme extent obscured by the fame of their brother Hosceo. He was born Oct. 30, 1829, at Albany, received en academic education and studied law in his father's effice: then en tered ttie office of Franci3 Kernan, after ward his colleague In congress, and In 1830 was elected district attorney for Oneida county In the spring of 1859 he was elected mayor of Utlca, and the next November was elected te congress. He elected In 1 SCO, he was defeated In 1802 by his late law collcague, Francis Kernan, but in 1801 and 18G0 was again successful. Before taking his scat tlie last time lis was chosen United States senator, took his scat in the upper house in 1607 and held the plnce continuously till 1881. Ills first prominence In the heuse of represent ative.'! wa gained by lits vigorous opposi tion te the legal tender act, and his unsparing criticism of Gen. McCIellan's management of the army. IIe forced an Inquiry into the causes for the disaster at Ball's Bluff, and his speech in the resolu tion calling for information from the war department was read with an intense Interest by the people. His speech en the legal tender act, in connection with that of Owen Lovcjey, exhausted the subject en the negative tide. On both these subjects he was consistent te the end of his career; he was an ardent "hard money man," and an uncompromising opponent of Ocn. McClellau and all bis supporters. Indeed, he was determined in all lit- posi tions, ardent in friendship, relentless in opposition. His devotion te the military support of Gen. Graut and the political measures of President Grant never weak ened for a day; he was the untiring advo cate, one might Kay the creator, of the "third term movement" of 1880, and breke with President Garfield in 1881 en a point of political lights directly growing out of the matter. In the combat be fought witli relentless fury, and when do de feated he went down with colors flying His opponents often complained that he was ci nelly barcastlc; but that ha had many attractive personal qualities Is con clusively proved by thu llfe leug duvotien of ids friends and supporters. nocen conkmne (Frem a photograph taken some ) ear age Anecdotes about Mr Cenkllng are al most Innumerable, nor did the public in terest in him die out after he quit politics and bottled In New Yerk city in the prac tice of law In hi) latest utterauce en politics a bliert interview he bald.

Qulney Adanw Oilmore, who died recently In Brooklyn, lias been living in comparative obscurity since the war; but he was one of the very few Federal commanders whose fame was. for a while at least, as gvtat in Eurepe as America, for it was his happy fortune te dlsprove all the laws of gunnery which had been supposed te be firmly fixed by the Crimean war. In fact. Gen. Gilmore'a cannonade andfxatpture of Fert Pulaski revolutionized tlie naval gunnery of the world. In the Crimean war the British commanders reported that the very closest anchorage they could securu was from COO te 700 yards distant from the Russian fortifications; "and at that distance," adds the report, "shot make but a slight Impression en solid masonry." Just before the American war the French and Eng 1 1 s h beards do de cided that 1,000 vards was the ut most limit for the practicable fc?3&Z$ IwcMhteff of ma- , cr.N'.

Tlie ether engineers were unanimous In denying the possibil ity; and against the decision of all the standard authorities en gunnery he could oppeso nothing but his firm conviction that great improvements were practical After months of. wearying dis cussion the government gave him the guns and mortars he called for and per mission te try.

There was amazement in Eurepe, net unmixed with consternation; for ene-halt the forts in the world were rendered useless. c His next notable success was with the noted "Swang Angel," a big gun used in the siege of Charleston. There was no new priuciple of gunnery involved in this once noted gun. It was simply an eight inch Parrot rille of the finest finish, and its effectiveness was due te the exccllence of the gun, the scientific use of the pow der and the position gained. The gun was apparently planted in the edge of the sea, but really lu the shallow marsh het ween Merris and James islands. There a firm foundation was laid, a low breastwork put up in a clrile around the' gun, and 100 pound shells were "dropped" into Charles ton. But it was only fired thirty-six times, exploding at the last discharge. Other guns seen after did as cffectlve work, but the "Swamp Angel" is remom remem bered because It first proved the practica bility of the method. Gen. Gilmero was born at Black River, Lerain county, O., in 1823; graduutcd from West Point in 1849; became a cap tain of engineers early in 1801; was made general wliile before Savannah, and major general whlle before Charleston.

VF4TKWNV1VIS VMY I THE MILKY WAY. r.tf IT3 .ORIGIN AS ACCOUNTED FOR IN VARIOU3 LEGENDS. riie Story ai Told In Greek Fable The Sheaf of Straw Saxen Tradition Tb,e Duthmen's Keller Meteorological rbe rbe nuineea Ferecaiti. The brilliant appearance and prominent color et the Milky Way have net failed te give rise te many curious names and te many legend as te its origin. According te the Greek fable, it was produced by tlie milk et Hera (June). Children born of Jupiter's illicit amours could only inherit divine honors it suckled by this lawful spouse et the great Olym pian god. Hercules was thus introduced te the goddess, who became se angered when she discovered the substitute infant that she threw him from her breast, and the milk flew across the sky, forming the galaxy. Ilyglnus says the Latin legend substituted Ops, speuse et Saturn, for June, and the occasion was the presenta tion of n stone te her for the true child. A Sicilian legend says the milk was from the Madenua's breast, lest whlle she searched for Jesus. A curious class et legends accounts for the creation et the blight band et stars across the heavens. One et these, from Wallachla, relates that Venus purloined a sheaf of straw one night from St. Peter's mills, and in her hasty flight toward her celestial nbode scattered it across the sky, where we see it new en cloudless nights. A Dalmatian tradition ascribes the less et the straw te St. 1'etePhlmBelf, and calls the galaxy "the Straw of St. Peter." Ac cording te a Cretlau legend, it was caused by a man who, having stolen a sheaf et straw from his fester father, was hasten ing away with his burden, when the bun dle breke and the straw scattered About Te recall for ever the theft, Ged placed the straw in the heavens, where It still Utters. The name given te the galaxy in Servla and Albania is "Godfather's Straw." Similar traditions must have given rise te names bestowed upon it in ether countries. It is known as the "Strawy" in Beznla; as the "Straw Read" in Sardinian, in Magyar, In Modern Hebrew, Coptle and Ethiopian; as the "Read of the Straw" in Arab, Rabyleand Syrlac, and as the "Scattering of the Straw" in the Magyar dialect. An Ar menian nppcllatlen is "Stealer of Straw." and Persian titles are "Path et the Car riers of the Cut Straw" and "Way of Car rying Chaff." The peculiar whiteness et the Milky Way is nise evidently referred te in it its Transylvanian name of tho"Fleury Way," and its Westphallan titles, the "Read te Mill" and the "Sandy Path." There are ether legends te account for its appear ancc. A Saxen tradition relates that the world took llre some ages age and burned until it was consumed. Ged gathered to gether the cinders and united them in a furrow. They went out little by little, leaving a whitish brllllancy,ln the midst et which still burn some Uve coals. About the entire heavens are dispersed ether burning embers. Sometimes n spark sheets from a hidden bunch of them, be coming a sheeting star. Bushmen say the galaxy is formed et ashes cast there Ien,; nge by a young woman, se that her parents might be able te find their way home. Anether legend assigns a different origin te it. A young woman, nngry with her stingy mother be be bo cause she would give her but a small quantity of a certain red nut te eat, cost quantities of it from her into the sky, where it became the stars and the Milky Way. Like tlie rainbow and ether prominent celestial appearances the Milky Way is connected in popular tradition with mctcorelocical plienemenn. In Wcst- pballu it Is called the "Weather Stripe," "'Weather Street" and "Weather Tree," and is also given the name et "Wind Tree." A Welsh name for it was "Read of the Wind," and in Picardy it is called "Feet of the Wind." Tahltlans call the bright band "Flying Cloud" and "Solid Cloud." It is "Band of the Aurera" in Maygar lands, and the "Evening Hay" in Westphalia. In the latter country the galaxy is said te be in the middle of the world and the sun steps there regularly at meridian. It is also believed te turn with the sun, and hence first appears from the quarter in which the sun has ret. Similar notions of the cosmograph cesmograph cosmegraph ical Importance of the Milky Way prob ably gave it its Arab name "Mether of Heaven," An old Arab poet alludes te It as the "Mether of the Confused Stars." Appearing only by night, prognostica tions drawn from the luminous way are net se numerous as in the case et the rainbow. Esthenlans judge by the mere or less brilliant appearance of the amount of snow that will fall during the coming winter. It by the end of September tlie northern end of the galaxy is very brill iant, snow will net fall until Christmas Is past; but it the south end is mere brill iant in appearance, snow will fall long be be bo fero Christmas. If tlie whele band is very bright, suew will fall befere and after Christmas. Icelanders also prog nosticate tlie winter weather from the ap pearance of tlie Milky Way in autumn. In our own country, many peeple belleve that the edge of the Milky Way which is the brightest indicates the direction from which the approaching storm will come. F. S. Bassett in Glebe-Democrat.

The Burman is a rather peculiar feeder, net being very nice in his selection or preparation of feed. He is net, however, be varied a caterer, nor does lie take lu such a large selection, as his near relation the Chinaman.

He may keep cattle, hogs, chickens, etc , and, being of a kind anil humane disposition, he feeds them well, keeping them in geed condition, but he does net de se te replenish his larder. He uses the milk of tlie cows, often et the tame long horned buffalo or of goats, for his family or for sale; he will also eat the eggs of fowls. San Francisce Chronicle. Tlie Itnrglar I a Gentleman.

He leeks like an Englishman, and speaks the language with a strong cockney accent, and he has nn Englishman's love for liexlng, and uses the slang of the ring. His parents, he says, were French. "If I were rich enough net te have te work," he said, "1 should still de my business for the leve et it. I am an artist, and I have Invented a new school of dining. Because a man is rich he can not cat mere than a peer man, and yet the Idea of a fine dinner 1ms been te glve a great number of courses. It is a mistake When a man has eaten his oysters, his soup, his entrees, his fish, what chance has he te enjoy tils mutton or fowl When he has caten all, his stomach is sol" and he raised his lint with both bands slowly abeye his head te indlcate the effect of the fullness. "I make him want te cat. First he must be hungry, and then I put things before him se that he wants them. It I want him te cat oranges, for instance, I offer them te his neighbor. He sees them aud asks for them." He comes from the Millien TalHanl, in the Chaussee d'Antln. "It is only u llttle place," he said, "with only sixteen tables. When I went (here the business was all rundown. I built it up by treating cncli person as if he were my guest, acd study ing his tastes." The little director is an autocrat nt the table. Ha docs net let ids guests have whatever they like, for fear it may clog their appetites. "I mnke them ask for things and keep them waiting. Suppese 1 have served a dinner llke this teday: A soup, seme fish, nnd a woodcock, with coffee and fruit. Te morrow my customer asks for woodcock. 'I am sorry, sir, but I cannot prepare It.' But lu a day or two he will ask fer'it again, and then I let him have it. If I let htm tire of anything, then my art would be gene." A great advantage which Mr. Dugnlel claims for his system is that It leaves hltn se much greater variety of feed te eiler en different days. "Suppose," he said, "I cook everything that is te be had for one great dinner, what is there for to-mer-rowf" It is net te be supposed from this lan guaeo that Jeseph Is going te cook any thing with his own hands. He docs net even profess te be able te de this, although his father was a restaurateur aud Jeseph grew up in the business. "I can cook mnny tilings," he said, "and I can carve as few men can, but I can tell the cook hew te prepare Ills feed and warn him If lie has failed te secure the proper flavor." It way be Interesting te knew hew Jeseph will serve a woodcock te Mr. Van derbllt. ,tIt will be cooked only ten min utes befere it Is brought en the table. "I will bring it en while the fish Is being eaten, and I have an alcohol braslcr en the table. It hns a sauce of red wine and gravy in it. I carve the bird and put all the bones and back into the sauce. The odor and nppcarauce et the bird excites the appetite. It takes twenty-llve min utes te cook a woodcock. The bird has only been cooked ten minutes when I carve it. New I send tlie meat back te the even for fifteen minutes, aud the back and the bones, in which the richest flavor Is found, nre left te stew. When the meat comes back it is en a het plate, and I strain the rich sauce ever it." New Yerk Sun. Follenlug n Slight Mlitake.

The vlcleu dogs go ih and hound them and snarl and howl threateningly. The tigers are grad ually driven from re'ut te point by the howling dogs aud shrieking natives, nnd nre finally worked Inte n gigantic and strong netting nine or ten feet high and with Interstices seven or eight Inches square. Then the clictties, as these queer natives are called, range themselves along the sides, and when tlie tigers lunge at them they are met at every point by gleaming spears. Such howling and snarling, combined with the shouts et the natives, sounds llke the walling of the damned.

It yen llke I'll put my portrait en the back of the card." IIe thereupon drew from his pocket a small rubber stamp and Imprinted en the back et his card a very creditable likeness of himself.

He is Gen. Pleasonten, whom many think ene et the greatest cavalry commanders of the war, and who un doubtedly fought nnd wen, perhaps, the greatest cavalry engagement of the con test between tlie states. It was at Brandy Station, where eighty regiments et horse men contended en ene field with no in fantry or artillery nearer than ten miles away. Sometimes the battle flags of the contending generals were net further sep arated than tlie two sides et Broadway. I'leasonten, itupatricK and Custer were In a single group. Detecting a crucial point In the opposing line, Pleasonten cried: "Custer, go right in there!" Cus ter's mounted band at ence struck up "The Star Spangled Banner," and in ten minutes he had carried the position. Cus ter and Kllpatrlck are dead.
