A World's Washington correspondent aays official society is now being mucn exercised over tbe fact that while tbe now British minister, lion. Lionel Backville West, is a bacbolor, he bos a family of children, two of whom be wishes to live with bim. Tbe Worm Heads the item "Ought we to visit him," and concludes as follows: "It must be admitted that it cannot fail to be awkward for beads of families to explain to their families how 1 1 i . . i i. n lOreiKu IDIUIHUT i-au w in uuce it in iiu lor and head of s family." Howe is not eipectod to begin the du ties of his ofllce Iwforo January 1st. Becreturv FreliDgbuysen took posses sion of tbe state department on the l'.Hh. In the senate Farley introduced a bill to enable the state of California to take lands in lien of the 16th and 30th sec tions. found to be minora! lands. Resolutions were introduced in the house asking information concerning American citizens confined in British prisons, and in regard to discontinuance of star route service. The president signed the commission of J. O. Bancroft Davis as assistant secre tary of state. .During the five months ended Novem ber 30th, there arrived m rsew xork Wl,' 318 immigrants, against 254,262 tbe same period of 186U The Times' Washington special has new lot of cabinet rnmors. Following are the latest: .Ex-Senator Boatwell, it Las been reported, has been tendored the navy portfolio, but is not inclined to ac cept. Boutwell is believed to desire an appointment as U. S. circuit judge, and is urgibg'the appointment of Judge Low ell of tbe Massachusetts circuit to a va canoy on the supreme bench caused by the death of Associate Justice Clifford, with tbe expectation of succeeding J udgo Lowell. Wm. . Chandler is mentioned as likely to succeed to the navy depart ment should Boutwell decline that place. The interior dopartmeut is said to stand between ex-$onutors Chaffee and Sargent. The report is current to-ntght that. Sar gent has been tolegrapheil to come at once to Washington. Governor Foster, of Ohio, whom polit ical wise-acres claim is on the Blaine ticket for the campaign of 1884, hold an impromptu levee in the corridor of the Fifth Avenue hotel this morning. "Are the knowing ones right this time in ro gard to your reported alliance with Mr, Blaine, governor," inquired a reporter. "There is not s word of truth in it," replied tbe distinguished man. "As far as Mr. Blaine is concerned, I believe he is not a presidential candidate. At least I judge so from the fact when I lust saw him in Cleveland he said he was dis charged cured, or, in other words, was satisfied with his experience." "It is said you were highly pleased over your recent friondly rocoption by President Arthur, and that you believe his administration will rod omul to the good of the country and to the republi can party." "Yes, replied the governor, "I was much gratified over my interview with the presidont, and regard him as an able and honeHt man, and furthermore I bo liove his administration will not be char acterized by any act that will antagonize the republican partv." In Washington on tlio'iOth, the houso decided to postpone further considera tion of the Utah case until after the holi days, Tuesduy. January 10, being fixed. Cuinploll had expected the matter would be settled now awl bad behoved "both Cannon and himself would have boon sent to tbe committee, and Cannon not be allowed a scat. Tbe case is certain to attract a grout deal of attention. The literature of the question is already quite voluminous and important legal and con stitutional questions are to bo answered The indications are that demooratia load ers will esnouHe tlio right of the Mormon apostle to Lis scut as a prima facie case,and unloss they niako a party issue of it, it is very probablo a groat many republicans will also adopt this view. A republican who has gained considerable reputation in the house already as a lawyer, who bus courage to express bis opinions, said to day he was as much opposed to polygamy as anylxHly, but did not think the polyg amy of Utah could bo destroyed by seat ing a man who bad not been elected, when his opponent was elected and bad a regular certificate to that effoot. Mr Cox of New York, it is understood, in tends to be the champion of apostle Can non's case in this oougrcss, us Clurkvou N. Totter was iu the forty-fourth. Tbe iuoidentmay have had no significance, but when Hill of Now Jersey dosircd to have printed in the Uucord a protest f rcyu a large numuer oi citizens ugaiusi polyg amy in Utuli, Blunt of Georgia objected, on the ground that he did not wish to encumber the liecord with such mater ial. The senate judiciary couiwittee unani mously agreed to report back the norm nation of Honj. H. Brewster, attorney- general, with recommendation that ha be confirmed. The senate committee on naval affairs, decided to postpono action on the nomi nation of Fay Director Waluiouth to be postmaster-genend, and other contested navy nominations until after tbe holi days. The bill introduced by Representative McMillan, relative to the income tax, provides for the assessment and collec tion of a three per cent, tax fiom each porson, corporation, banking association, telegraph company, railroad company, or other incorporated companies or firms doing business in the United Stated and territories, on all net incomes above t:mo. The bill introduced by Representative Fettibone, relative to the retirement of army officers, provides that all general officers and ofheers of the different staff corps shall be retired from active service when tbey tav served forty-five years in tbe army, and all officers of the line be retired wnen uey nave reaoneu me age of sixty. Tbs bill farther provides tbst when general and staff officers who bare not served forty-five years and line officers who have not reached sixty are finable to properly perform their duties they shall be reported by the general of the army to the president, who will con vene a board of officers to report the facts of the case, with recommendations; ana should the board report disability as the result of services performed in the line of duty, the officer may be placed on tne re tired list, otherwise be may be retired with one year s pay. The report of the secretary of state on the necessity of introducing modifications into tbe extra territorial jurisdictional system oi tne uniieu Diaios in tvuina, Japan and eastern countries where consu lar courts are allowed by treaties, is i lonir document. Tbe secretary deals with the subject comprehensively without absolutely denying the constitutionality of the judicial acts of our ministers and consuls as tbe law now stands, and shows there is ample room to question the en tire conformity of their procedure to the constitutional duties oi consular onicers, and as a rule to discharge judicial func tions. It is considered in conclusion thut the needs of the consular service demands men of business capability, alive to the interests of trade, rather than trained jurists. Passing to the consider ation of a reformed code of extra torn torial jurisdiction, the secret iry suggests the constitution of a proper court of tbe United States at the principal center oi foreign intercourse with a country, se lecting Shanghai in China for instance, the appointment of an American judgo there with functions analogous to those Judges in the federal district courts of tbe Jnited States, nnd holding office for life or daring good behavior. Also provision for choosing grand juries to present in dictments, and ordinary juries to treat cases; appointment of clerks, thus mak ing the court one ot records; nomination of associated justices in larger commercial cities, with powers and functions pre cisely defined by law; promulgation of an intelligent code; holding lull terms at the seat of the principal court, and lastly appellate recourse to circuit courts of the United States. Since the present law was passed seven capital conviotions have been made in all China and Japan. Ex ecution of sentence was performed fol lowing the conviction in the case of Jno. D. Buckly, hanged at Shangbui in '61, after denial by Minister Burlingame of tho privilege of appeal to executive clem ency. Another case mentioned is that of Dinkille, convicted of murder by tbe consular court at lleogo, and pardoned by the president on coudition of under going a lifo imprisonment, but who has refused tc accept such conditional com mutation, and is now held in prison un der indetluito postponement of execution of the death sentence, The recent well known case of Mirzan at Alexandria is also referred to. In his annual report to the president 10 commissioner of agriculture Bays the exponse of the attempt to cultivate the tea plant in South Carolina have bcln somewhat curtailed without detriment to the experiment. One of tho experts (Saunders) who visited the tea farm es tablished in Suuimorville, S. C, reports that the two hundred acres of land se lected for the experiment are most of them covorcd with a heavy forest growth, poor and sandy, and of a character to support only the scan tiost kind of vegeta tion. Of this about fifteen acres have been cleared and was under primitive cultivation. On those acres operations ere commenced in January lust. A space was propami for sowing tho tea and preparations made for covering the plants, which when young suffer severely on being exposed to tbe sun. Tho plants were growing well and constituted the entire tea crop of tho farm. Saunders' reported that with regard to the future prospects of tho enterprise, if continued in tho lino of tbe present system, it may bo said there iu not much room for on oouragomont. Tho poverty of the Boil and character of the climate in which frosts sometimes occur, seem to be un favorable to the production of strongly flavored teas, as had already been proved by oxporiment in Mcintosh, Ga. Prom inence is given to the report of votoriuary surgeons sent to Great Britain to inquire into alleged importations from the United States of diseased cattlo, and tho commis sioner beliores tho misunderstandings on this subject have given way before con vincing proofs presented by American surgoous. Recognizing the importance to our western farmors of acquiring data upon which to predicate- as to tho prob ablo action of the Hooky mountain locus iu 1882, I have bad an agont specially engaged under direction of the entomo logical bureau to guthor such dta in their permanent breediag grounds of this pest, for tho most part in the thinly Bottled regions of the northwest, lie mombcriug the invaluablo loss and snf fering which this iusoct entailed between 187!) and 1877, losses which largely helpod to prolong tho commercial depression of that period, tins information seems to be of sufficient moment to warrant an an nual observation of a moro extended ture. na- Hie tomnch. A Detroit surgeon w hose reputation is first-class was seated in his ofllce the other day when in walked a stranger who was followed by a dog. Without any fooling around ho began: "Doctor, I have tho dyspepsia." "Yos, sir." "Had it twenty-six vears." "Yes, sir." "You can't cure it." "No, sir." "But you cau make an exchange of stomachs between roe and my dog." "I believe it could be done, and both live." "Will you guarantee that I won't have a hankeriug for old bones if I trade stomachs?" "No, sir." "Will I want to chase cats?" "Very likely." "And snsp at tramps?" "Quite probable." "Doctor, this is business." "Yes, sir." "And the exchange of stomachs is de clared off." "Very well." "And I bid you good day." "Good day, sir." And the man whistled to his dog and walked oat, without looking to the right or left. ( Detroit Free Press. riHAACM Am CUM MSCJC a. a Vumiuoo. Dm.

A vein of what is sun- uosnd to be a now metal is said to have Imvii found in digging a well near lint tie Creek, Michigan.

New Mode of Telegraphing.--Nature reports that a telegraphing experiment of a singular description was tried about the middle or August at. the Trocadoro. It consists merely in tho rending of large silvered zino letters, a square meter in size, fixed on a blackened board, by re fracting teloscopes. This method has succeeded very woll from tho Trocadero to tho l'antheon a distance of three milos. The inventor, an officer in the French servico, thinks ho will sucoeed in reading messages at a distance of sixty miles under favorable circumstances. Havmxo Fires. When a boiler is short of water and a heavy fire is on the grate, what shall be done to prevent the boiler from being burned? The first impulse is, on the part of some, to haul the tire at once, but is not that the most dangerous course that could betaken? It seems opon to criticism. A fire that is disturbed is intensely hot for a short timo, at n period when no more heat is needed, and it would therefore seem that it would be bettor to open the doors and throw wet ashes on to smother the fire, instead of adding to the dangor by rak ing it over. By so doing the heat is at once lessened at no time increased and the pressure is fulling, but when we haul a fire, the exact reverse occurs, more steam is mode and the danger increased. We think it safer to cover the fires than to haul them, particularly if they are of bituminous coal. Mechanical Engineer. Living animals lit up from within. At a recent soiree in the Taris Observa tory, M. Trouve showed a live fish with its body lit np from within by his elec trio polyscope, a minute form of which, with conducting wires passing to the hands of the operator, the animal had been caused to swallow (comfortably, let us hope). The whole body became transparent in tho dark, so that the ver tabre could be counted and all the de tails examined. This instrument prom ises to have many nsea. Among others, it has been applied. La Nature says, to showing students tbe texture of the reo tnm and bladder, to facilitate extraction of a projectile at the back of tbe nose, to examine the stomach of a bull (in which a gastrio fistula was formed), to lighting the interior of shells and can non for examination, also to lighting powder magazines, in which case the reflector is inclosed in a tripple envel ope of glass. The Wrong Ashes. He was a jolly-looking man, with a round corporation, a burgundy-tinted nose, and the general exterior of a eon tented mind, and as he entered the ed itorial den he offered ns a cigar, lit an other, and said: "How abont this local cremation scheme? "Well, how yourself?'' "The fact is." said the stranger, re flectively, "I had a protty tough experi ence with one of these cadaver roasting concerns onoe, and I thought mebbe you might like to make an item of the facts BO an vu wnru lue jrcuiiic. uo iu wuiu "Fire away." "Well, you see. it was in New Orleans, My wife died there, and as a cremation company waa having a good deal oi boom there just then, she mode me promise to have her spirit sent up through their flue, as it were. Baid she thought it would be nice and melancholy for me to carry her ashes around with me wherever I went in a vase, you understand. "And you complied?" " iVhy. yes. It was her last wish, you know, and besides I thought it might be useful in kinder preparing her for the here but never mind that, now. I sent the remains round to the company ofllce in a DUsh-cart. cot a receipt, saw Maria touched off, so to speak, and two davs after that they returned to me beautiful majolica jar full of ashes, scented with forgot-me-nots, and the stopper tied in with pink ribbon." "That was pretty. "Yes. I was very much pleased at first, but I had to keep the Dottle out oi sign after a while, though, because people were all the time opening the jar, under tbe impression that it contained pre served ginger or chow-chow, or some thing." "That must have been unpleasant. "Unpleasant well, I should smile mean; 1 should weep. vny, actually one day while I was living in New York I came home and found a new servant girl polishing knives with the remains UBt think of it. . a. "Terrible, sir. tornoiei "But.whut I was going to say was this About a year after my wife was kindled I mean cremated I was in New Orleans again, and I happened to meet the superintendent of the refractory ore I should say the corpse Durning lur nace at a banquet, and he got so full that I had to see him home. On the way we stopped in a place or two for steadier you know how it is and the result was that he got very communica tive about his company in fact, gave the whole business away, "Did. eh?" "Yes. sir: he squarely owned up that thev didn't burn the bodies at all. He said they just dropped 'em through a holo in the bottom of the furnace, took 'em out the back way at night, und sold 'em to the medical students. "Gracious! And the ashes!" "Mule ashes, sir; nothing but mule ashes! They would ust cut up some old mule carcass, the superintendent said, pitch in enough to make a bad smell, and then sell the ashes to the grief-stricken relatives at $25 a bottle, Terrible cheeky, now; wasn't it?" And all this time you had Had been carrying that old jar of mule ashes all over the country. Just imagino how mean I felt." "lou threw it away then ? "Well, no." said tho widower, as he winked a tear out of his left eye; "tbe more I studied over the matter the more I concluded that mule ashes weren't so much out of tho way after all.

And having tho resigned sigh of one who had succeeded in bracing up under great sorrow, the anti-cromatiomst smiled softly, lit another cigar, aud walked out. Derrick Dodd. Important rJellol Discovery. The method of counteracting disease bv introducing foreign substances into the blood by inoculation or injection, has long been known to medicine. Its principal application has hitherto been to prevent the contagiou of smallpox, though the same process seems now in a fair wav to be applied to tho prevention of a large olass of diseases called zymotic Hypodermic injections have been used chiefly for anit'sthetic purposes, but a recent discovery by Dr. J. B. Lacreda, of tho Laboratory of Experimental rhvsiology iu the National Museum of Iiio Janoiro, will lead to their more gen eral application. This ingenious scien tist has proved that a solution of per manganate of potassi im injected into the blood is an infallible cure for snake bitej. The discovery is of great value all over the Americau continent where venomous reptiles are common, and es pecially in the tropics where they are abundant. In the province of Bengal, 10,001 persons died from snake bites alone during the year 1880. The remedy has been thoroughly tested. A laborer, bitten by a venemous snake on a planta tion in Tiraby, iu Brazil.wastaken home, a little of the permanganate of potassium injected with a little spring syringe, and he so far recovered as to be able to go to work the next day. A negro on a sugar plantation in Barra was bitten by a very poisonous suake called jacarra. His iinbs swelled, ho began to bleed at the throat and nostrils, and became insensi ble. Ho was cured in the same way by a small quantity and resumed his work in four hours, in the province oi ftan ter, William Broadbent was bitten by a " i joracossa, whicn ne was passing irom one flask to another. The bite of this serpent is very deadly, but the remedy, applied by a friend,, removed the pain in a fiw minutes. These cases are at tested by the Rio Janeiro papers. The information is of sufficient importance to be widely disseminated on this coast, vhera the remedy may be used as a sim ple and available antidote not only for snake bites, but for those of scorpions and tarnatulas. Mother," remarked a Dublin girl; "I think Harry must be going to propose to me." "Why so. my daughter?" queried the old lady, laying down her spectacles, while her face beamed like the moon in its fourteenth night. "Well, he asked me this evening if I wasn't tired of living with such a menagerie as you and ' dad." Oae leal a Day. Dr. C. E. Tage sends to the Journal of Chemistry an account of experiments made to show that one meal a day is enough for a man: "8. N. 8., twenty-eight years old, re solved to adopt the one-meal system, and did so, leaving off meat and all condi ments, as salt and pepper, and eating chiefly wheat-meal bread and fruit, and bread made from unsifted meal and mixed with water only, no salt or bread-raising devices unleavened bread. Within seven months his weight increased from one hundred and forty-five pounds to one hundred and seventy ponnds, and his strength of both body and mind had in creased in proportion. His labor had been severe; he is a mechinest and an inventor, working ten hours every day, and doing a good deal of practical and profit able thiuking at the same time. It is now a full year since he came to oue meal, and the weight gained has been maintained, and his health is perfect. During tbe lost winter for the purpose of testing the sufficiency of one meal of pure food for the most trying labor, he worked in an iron foundry for three months, and notwithstanding the ex treme and frequent changes of tempera ture incidont to the work, on cold morn ings with the mercury below zero, and in the afternoon at 120 degrees above and all hands sweating like rain, and had not a 'cold' for the winter, and was tbe only employe thus exempt. He bad for merly been subject to frequent attacks of tbe above disease. Mis daily ration con slats of six ounces to nine ounces (ao cording to labor) of Graham flour besides fruit sufficient to supply all the liquids necessary half a dozen apples or their equivalent in other fruit. He is rarely thirsty, but some times, if too little fruit is taken at meal time, he takes a small draught of water in the course of the day. This meal is taken at night, after entire recovery from fatigue, usually at 7 o'clock. During tbe month of May, lool, just passed, he gained sixty hours or six full day: orking extra hours at his bench, some times working right through to mid night, and taking his 'breakfast' after short rest, beiore retiring. io man in his employ hod gained so much time He has occasionally made a trial of bolt ed flour bread, but has invariably ex perienced a loss of weight and strength My own experience goes far to prove the efficiency of the above regimen for either the brain or muscle worker. I am now taking but one meal a day, and find myself perfectly nourished, weight and strength maintained, on about fifteen ounces of unleavened wheat-meal bread to the mastication of which i devote an hour or more. I find that six cold gems weighing abont fourteen ounces, with out either butter or milk, ohewed delib erately and thoroughly dissolved by the juices of the mouth, will sustain mo much better than when eaton warm with butter or milk. Considering the manner in which people in genorol bolt their food, it is not strange thut a large pro portion of it fails of digestion. Starchy foods cannot be transformed into pure blood entire, except as far as the change is begun in the mouth. "Until a few months ago l took my food in the morning, but I find the even ing a better time. During tbe day the brain and muscles can have everything their own way, without interfering or hindering digestion, and at evening,after a sufficient rest, there is perfect tranquil ty of body and mind and 'leisure to di gest.' I had never been a 'good sleeper' until I adopted this system of diet. People who eat several meals a day do well to take the last ono early, and the lighter they make it the better, but dys peptics may rest assured that, of itself considered, the evening meal is not the causo of their wakefulness or troubled dreams. When X ate three meals of a mixed diet, I could not make tho last one simple enough to give me complete rest at night, but now, when rested from my .lay s labor, I can eat my full vegetarian meal and sleep like a well fed babe. I could give a number of examples liko the foregoing, of one-mealers, did space permit, all tending to prove the su periority of vegetable over animal diet, and all the entire wheut over the most scientifically impoverished article." Circulation of the Blood. The question is Did Harvey really iscover the Circulation of the Blood? Was it not known that tho blood coursed out from the heart through the arteries, nd returned through the veins, until Harvey published the fact I Various claims have been made to the contrary, some of them referring tho discovery to time long anterior to Harvey s time. But, be that as it may, according to Har vey's own account, he can hardly claim the honor of the discovery; for another physician had discovered and pointed out to him, certain facts which could be accounted for in no other way. Here it is: In Italy Harvey studied with an eminent physician and philosopher named Fabricius ab Aquapendento. One day the old philosopher called his student into his laboratory, and exhibited to him very beautifully prepared system of human veins and arteries, which ho had dessected and preserved. There." said he, pointing to the great vein of the thigh, and theu to other veins the larger veins were all there "do you observe those nicely adjusted valves? See how they work! They allow the blood to pass freely towards the heart, from all directions; but not a drop can go the other way! And see how plenty they are. Surely a Supreme Intelligence must havo placed, them there, and for a purpose. "And heie we nave tne arteries, ud- .i ii servo how strong ore tueir wans, as iron to wood, when compared to the veins.
