Professor Sloniie thai de scribes the bnttle of Hivoli : At eurly dnwn bofiun tlio conflict which was to sottlo tlie fiito of Miintna. The first Acroo contest woo between the Austrian left and the French right at 8t Mark, but it quickly spread along the whole line as far as Caprino. For some time the Austriaus hud tho advun tago, and the result was in suspense, since the French left, at Caprino, yield ed for an instant before the onslaught of the main Anstrinn army mndo in ac cordance with Alvinozy'i first plan, and, as he supposed, upon an inferior force by one vastly superior in numbers. Berthier, who by his calm conrago wus fast rising high in his coiiiiiiiimlor's favor, came to the rescue, and Miissena, following with a judgment which bus inseparably linked his uame with that famous spot, finally restored order to the French ranks. Lvery snccesHivo charge of the Austriaus was repulsed with a violence which throw their right and center back toward Monte Baldo in ever growing confusion. The battle waged for nearly thrco hours before Alvinezv understood that it was not Jonbert's division, but Bona parte's army, which was above him. In his zeal lie then pressed forward on .the plateau beneath the height to bring more of his troops into action, and Jon bert somewhat rashly advanced to check the movement, leaving the road to St. Mark unprotected. Tho Austriaus, prompt to take advantage of his blunder, charged up the hill, and seized the com manding position, but siniultaneonsly there rushed from the opposite sido three French battalions, clambering up to re trieve the mistake. Their physical strength and nerous activity brought them first to the top, and again the storming columns were thrown back iu disorder. At that instant appeared in Bona parte's rear an Austrian corps estimated by him as 4,000 strong, which, having come down the valley on tho left bunk, had now crossed the river to take tho French right ut Bivoli in its rear. Had they arrived but a minuto sooner the hill of Rivoli would have been lost o the French. As it was, instead of mak ing an attack, they had to await 0110. Bonaparte directed a galling artillery fire aguint thorn, and thus gained time both to reform his ranks and hold the newcomers iu cheek until his own re serve, coming iu from tho next hamlet westward, cnt thorn entirely off from the retreating columns of Alvinczy( and compelled them to lay down their arms. Thus ended the worst defeat and moBt complete ront which the Austrian arms hod so fur sustained. Such wus the ut ter demoralization of the flying and dis integrated columns that a young French officer named Rene, who was iu com mand of 60 men at a hamlet ou Lake Garrin, successfully imitated Bonaparte's ruse at Lonato, mid displayed such an imposing confidence to n flying troop of 1,600 Austriaus that they surrendered to what they boheved to be a force su perior to their owu. Next morning at dawn Murat, who had marched all nigh to gain the point, appeared on the slopcB of Monte Buluo above the pass of Coro ua, and united with Masseua and Jou bert to drive the Austriaus from their last foothold. The pnrsuit was coal in ued as far as Trent. Thirtoeu thousand prisoners were captured in those two days. This short campaign of Rivoli was the turning point of tho war, and may be said to have shaped tho history of Europe for 30 years. Chroniclers dwell upon those few momouts at the hill above the plateun of Rivoli, and wonder what the result would have been if the last Austrian corps had arrived five minutes sooner. But an accurate and dispassionate criticism mustdecido that every step iu Bonaparte's success was won by careful forethought and th most effective disposition of the forces ut his command. 8o sure was he of suc cess that even iu tho crises when Mas genu seemed to save the day on the loft and when the Austriaus seemed destined to wrest victory from defeat at, the lust moment on the right, ho was self reliant and cheerful. The new Bystem of Held operations had a triumphant vindication at the hands of its author. The conquering general meted out nn stinted praise to his invinciblo squad rons and their leaders, but said nothing of himself, leaving the world to jmlgo whether this was man or demon who, still a youth, and within a puhlio ciireer of but one season, had humiliated the proudest empire ou the continent, had subdued Italy and on her soil had creat ed states unknown before without the consent of any great power, not except ing his own. It is not wonderful that this personage should sometimes have said of himself, "Say that my life be gau at Rivoli," as at other times he dated his military career from Toulon YOUNG EDITORS.

The English di : visions of tho psalms aro called after the Hebrew letter that began the coup : lets. It was ulso customary to compose verses on sacred stibji-ots after the fash ion of Hebrew ncrostics. This was dono with a view to aid memory, nnd such pieces were called abcedariun hymns. Tho riddlo is ulso of ancient origin. Tho Proverbs of tho Biblo, or sayings attributed to Solomon, aro often in the form of riddle Was it not tho Queen of Shebu who proposed riddles to Solo mon? Tho Koran, tho scriptural book of also contains rid dles, as do somo books now iu existence, writteu iu Arabic unci Persian. The an cient Egyptians also propounded rid dles, and ono of the seven wise meu of Greece, who lived in the sixth century B. C, was celebrated for his riddles in verso. Homer, tho Greek poet, accord ing to a stateinout in Plutarch, died of vexation at not being able to solve a riddle. In the middle ages riddles were encouraged for amusement on winter nights in the baronial hull and also in the monastery. In later days some of tho most brilliant men of letters contrib uted to tho list of riddles. Tho nuagram, or transposition of the letters in words or sentences, was much in vogue in Greeco iu the olden times. The Cubalists, or Jewish doctors, thought that tho anagram always point ed out a man's destiny, and if his name written backward or transposed in any way spelled a word with meaning they firmly believed it a revelation. The flat terers of James I of England proved his right to the British monarchy as the de scendant of tho mythical King Arthur from his name dairies James Stuart, which becomes "claims Arthur's seat." The best anagrams aro thoso which have iu tho new order of letters some signifi cation appropriate to that from which they ore formed. When Pilate asked, "Quid est Veritas?" (What is truth?), ho probably had no idea that his ques tion unswerod itself. But it did.

Manifest weakness, or even pre dominant strength, in any part opens the avenue for the invasion of disease and the appoach of death. What can be done for the realization and mainte nance of structural and vitul harmony? Space would fail us to give details adapted to varying conditions, but the underlying fundamental principle for its accomplishment may be imparted iu few words. Strive to strengthen and develop those parts of tho body which havo been slighted by nature or weak ened by disease or abuse; guard zealous ly such structures nnd see that they are never subjected to undue strain or too active exertion; neglect not the improve ment of every part of tho economy, but Beek first to improve the weakest structures; look woll to organs of vital importance tho heart, lungs, kidneys, etc. and seek especially to advance their good. A fine physique is not to bo ignored, bnt of far greater impor tance are a strong pair of lungs, a nor mal, well guarded heart, good digestive apparatus and functionally sound kid ney 1 lie strengthening and develop ing of vital structures require more skill and perseverance than tho training of the muscular system and should bo con ducted with much care and diligence.

If his wishes had been fully carried out, the second edition would have hud so many chaugt as to be practically a new work. in this city.- For heaven only knows how mauy years the colonel has Intended to ohm a hotel. Once always and sometimes twice every year workmen ure engaged, mii tcrial purchased, and for a fuw weeks greut bustle and confusion go on within tlio white walla Partitions are torn down and put up, painters and paper hangers change the appearance of the rooms, and a great renovation is offeot cd. This goes ou for perhaps a month. Then suddenly the workmen are called off, doors and windows ure closed, and the house is apparently empty for months. About the time the peoplo are becoming accustomed to tlie deserted appearance of the place the workmen ngain appear and tear out what they had put in. The colonel spends from $500 to $5, 000 every timo he gets the workmen into the house. As you go into the building you first notice a great oak staircase leading from tho maiu hull. Years ago the colonel was in Vienna. In some old building there he 'saw a staircase with paiuted panels and inlaid tiles and scrolls and gimcracks of one sort and another iu it. Ho was entranc ed nnd determined to have a counterpart of it iu his new hotel, which ho would open for the World's fair year. When ho camo home, ho hired workmen, and a part of them ho put ou the staircase. Tho men started to work with sandpa per and pumice stone to toko off the old puiut and varnish. The colonel stopped them. They must serapo it with glass, ho said. The foreman tried to explain that they could do it quicker and bettor their way, but to no purpose. It would not da It must be scraped with glass. He was paying for that staircase, nnd he was going to havo it done his way. So tho men got pieces of broken glass and began to scrape. From morning till night a half dozen men scraped and scratched uway with bits of glass. They finished tho work in time, but tho sum which it cost the colonel was some thing prodigious, Then he concluded that a furnace in a house was a poor idia, so he had that taken out and tho registers stuffed up. Ho said whon ho opened his hotel he would furnish tho guests with caudles, and thoy could have stoves if they choso to pay for them. The cheapest room in the house was to be $:) a day. Personally Colonol Perkins does not like running water m a room. Tuere- fore he has had it shut off iu his room and a basin set in tho stationary bowl. A pitcher of water sets on the floor, This oddity's bed, or rather tho way it is placed, is tlio queerest imaginobla If a person wore to walk suddenly into this man's bedroom, ho would rub his eyes and wonder where ho was. Sus pended iu the center of the room by chains from the ceiling is the colonel's bed. He reaches it by means of a small stepladder, which he had built for the purpose. The reason he assigns for huv ing his bed placed in this singular posi tion is that the air circulates hotter up there. How the circulation of nir could have any bearing on tlie case is not easily seen, as the transom and every window in the room is nailed shut with big spikes. The blankets ou the bed are of the finest silk. These he sends to Bostou to be cleaned, where ho also sends his trousers every mouth to bo pressed, One time during an annual campaign of repairs the colouel concluded the mattresses nnd pillows needed refilling and the chairs and sofas needed new upholstering. Instead of sending the things out to be fixed lie had men come to the house. The mattresses, pillows and furuitnro were all ripped open, and the contents ho had the meu pile in one room. Half way to the ceiling was a heap of hay, com husks, curled hair and excelsior, and there it remains to this day, or at least a part of it is in tha t room. A portion, through careless ly opened doors and windows, has been blown through the rest of the house. The frames of the furniture also had to be all sorapecTwith glass, and the cost was something like three times what new furniture would cost. Another innovation which the colonel says he will embody in his hotel is doors which sink into the floor. He proposes to havo the doors fitted so thut by press ing a button they will sink into grooves until the top is flush with the floor. Pressure upon another button brings them up again. Whenever he intends to go on a trip his trunks are packed and sent ou ex actly three days before he leaves. If by any accident the baggage is delayed one day, the colonel postpones his departure just one day. Chicago Tribune.
