THE ART OF DINING; ~ BY CHARLES DUDLEY WARNER. (Editor of the Hartford Courant.) We have bad a good many disquisitions lately upon how to dine properly. The ma- jority of the world is more concerned how to get a dinner than how to eat it, but the manner is not unimportant to those who have opportunity and leisure. As our ap- petites get dull intbe increase of luxury, we grow fastidious. Elizabeth may have been a very respectable woman for queen, and virtuous as the world goes, but we do‘not want to drink beer at early breakfast. If it were known that some of the women suffra- gists in New York drank heavy ale for breakfast, what would become of the move- ment? They might as well eat with their knives. Society, from age to age, sets up a code' of table morals, and we come to our final text of civilization and breeding on that. And, yet, as this code is continually changing, many people are not seldom at a loss how to dine properly either at home or abroad. There are some practical difl‘lcul- ties. Our ancestors used. to pile all they had for the meal upon the table at once, so that the guests could feast the eve while filling the stomach, and gorge themselves in ad- vance upon the mass of viciuais. There the entire meal was, and the stranger within the gates, was cordially invited to “set by” and help himsef. One could easily arrange hlS- programme of dinner under such circum- stances. Therc was none of the uncertain- ty of the a la carte method (where nothing might turn out as ordered) in this; for the veritable things, cooked as they must be ~ eaten, were before one, and he could lay out his work with satisfaction, come twice to this, decline that, and watch his chances on, some popular dish. What is a man, brought up to dine in this way to do when he sits down to a civilized dinner of courses? The half-way step between feeding at the pile and dining by bill of fare, is that per- taining to so many of ' our charming hotels, especially those r'urally situated (where one has not-r only. the pleasure of eating his chicken, but of hearing its dying“squawk”), and which abound in the Great West. I re- fer to the situation one finds himself in when he sits at a table, and a gaunt woman, sad-visaged and peremptory, stands behind him, and in a. voice gruff and remorseless, with a snap of her jaws like the sentence of fate, asks: “Beefsteak or liver?” The hori— zon of life suddenly contracts. The man’s mind is thrown back upon itself with a vio- lent revulsion; a moment before he was roaming in the blissful fields of expectation; now the lips of fate have shut him in to “Beefsteak or liver.” And he must speak quick, too, or lose his chance. No time for deliberation. The man who hesitates may lose his liver. And even the choice of what one can have may be only a delusion of the hour, a habit of the’trained and rapid speak- .ing waiter ; as wrtness this actual conversa- tion which lately occurred: “Pie or pndd’n ?” “Pudding.” “We have no pudd’n I” What is a man to do under such circum- stances? It is useless to talk of the freedom of the will. At this hotel one was expected to eat in fifleen minutes. It was like being put through the manual of - arms. I have noticed, by the way, that travelers by rail et a habit of wonderful dispatch in meals. The usual time allowed at the West for any sort of meal is twenty minutes. Yet I have observed that almost all the passen- gers get throuh eating in ten minutes, and for ten minutes are pacing anxiously up and down the platform, wondering what detains them. . . The American combination of a. table d’hote dinner with a bill of fare is greatly liked by those too ignorant or too lazy to select their own dinner a la carte. But many are very much at a loss at the table d’hote or at the dinner at a friend’s house, where there is no bill of fare to guide, no intima- tion of the number Of courses, or the sort of dishes. ‘If one cats in the most sparing manner of what is brought to him, the cour- ses may come to an end long before his ap- petite is satisfied; or be may wreck a splen- did hunger on an ordina dish and have none left for his favorite. here is, to many of us, a delight in not knowing what we are going to have, a pleasure in being surprised by the appearance of unlooked for courses, which a bill of fare would have destroyed. This may seem frivolous talk to—the Amer- ican board, let ‘us say. But when we con- sider that of the twelve. hours of day we spend nearly one fourth of them at the la.- ble, we need no apology for talking'about it. It of course won‘t do to openly specu. late about~what we are going to have in words, but the immortal mind can feed upon the idea. It is a question whether a bill of fare, which sometimes affords some diversion in the perusal, does not destroy a higher pleasure. _ _ . But the inconveniences of not knowing what you can or must make your dinner ’of are so great that it has been suggested that at private dinners. either a bill of fare should be exhibited,'or the host should simply an- nounce what is to come. It would cultivate e habit of public speaking in private, the most difiicuit (and we must confess disagree- able) art known to man. For instance, the host might say: “Ladies and gentlemen, ai- ter the soup the second course will be shad, broiled on one side ; third course, shad broilv ed on the other side; fourth course, leg of mutton, vegetables ad. lib. ; fifth coursc,pea- cocks’ tongues, with asafetida sauce; sixth, asparagus; seventh; ducks and peas ; eighth, sausages stuffed with bumble-bees; ninth, salad, with chicken legs, a la France, where the chickens grow all to legs and none to breast; tenth, dessert, after which the en- agement will become general. N. B.e—Tire strawberries, which the hostess regrets did not arrive in time to go upon the ice, will be eaten at the convenience of the family. After some such announcement as that everybody would know what. to expect. We are getting to spend as much time at our dinners and‘ to talkias much about the viands and the wines as the Romans used to. I am glad, therefore, to notice the serious tone in which the dinner is discussed, in both magazines and books, and beg leave to contribute the above suggestion. ———- ‘ SCHOOL-CHILDREN’S Eves—“Fix your eyes upon your book I” sings the old “school- master.” Not so says Prof. Williams (“Our Eyes,” p.12): “One of the first rules. laid down by a teacher to his pupils should be not to keep their eyes fixed upon their books. Apart. from the probable injury to the eye itself by to close application, 1 am satisfied that lessons, especially those requiring thought, cannot be as well committed to memory when the eyes are fixed upon the page, as if they were permitted to wander. Their eyes must, of course, look often and long enough to take in the idea; but, if they are too steadily kept there, the perceptlve power seems to occupy itself with the visi- ble objects to an extent which is uufiivora- ble to other mental processes.” Zion’s Herald. [From the New York Independent.) NORTHERN ~PACIFIC RAILROAD. BY SCHUYLER COLrAx. Midway across the cOniment—at the head of twelve hundred miles of lake naviga- tion—a thousand miles from Buffalo. the western terminus of the Erie Canal, and as near to it by water as Chicago—a. hundred miles west of the longitude of St. Louis or Galena—is the young city of Duluth, the rnrirul point of the Northern Pacific Rail- road. That great work, so ma 'nificcnlly endowed by the government, is a ready be- rng pushed rapidly westward, under its energetic controllers; and before the snow flies next Fall, it will be completed to the western line of Minnesota, where it crosses .tbe Red River of the North—which runs northward to Lake Winnipeg—and one- crglrib of its distance to the Pacific Ocean will have been accomplished. Commenc- ing, too, this season on its western line, the work will be prosecuted from both direc- its Centennial Anniversary of Independ- ence, the Lakes will be united by iron banc's with the Mediterranean of our; N orthwesi, Puget Sound. Of the auspicious influence of this enter- prise, which but a few years ago would have been considered so during, the most sanguine of its friends have scarcely yet a‘ full realization. Even taking Chica o as the starting point, it will be (via St. uul, where an arm of the Northern Pacific Rail- road is reached) two hundred miles less dis- tance to Puget Sound than to San Francis- co. Besides this, vessels from the Golden Gate to China sail on what is called the grand circle, instead of in a straight line; and any one testing this by a string on a globe will be surprised at the result, if they have not previously studied the effect of the . roiundity of the earth, and its diminished protuberance as you go northward towards the Pole. Hence, when they have sailed eight hundeed miles from San Francisco, they are only one hundred miles from the entrance to Puget Sound ; and this striking fact shows the advantages this route will have in commanding the through traffic of Asia with our Atlantic States, or that por- tion of it which wiil‘pass over the soil of this nation on its road to' Europe. Nor is this all. Development is the great duty of the Republic, after all its recent trials. Resources are the gift of the Creator. Developing them depends on the work of man. Along the line of the Northern Pa- cific Railroad, as it‘follows up the water- courses, the Missouri and the Yellowstone on this side, and descends by the Valley of the Columbia on the other, a vast body of agricultural land is waiting for the plough, with a climate almost exact] the same as that of New York, except t at, with less snow, cattle, in the larger portion of it, can. subsist .on the open range in winter. Here, if climate and fertility of soil produce their natural rosult, when railroad facilities, Open this now isolated region to settlement, will soon be seen waving grain-fields, and happy homes and growing towns; while ultimate- ly a cordon of prosperous States, teeming with population, and rich in industry and consequent wealth, will occupy that now undeveloped and almost inaccessible .por- tion of our continental area. But this Road is fortunate also in its path- way ucross the two ranges of mountains which tested so severely the Pacific Rail- roads built on the central line, and the over- coming of which reflected such well-de- served honor-On their energelic builders. At the Deer Lodge Pass, in Montana, where it oroases-the Rocky Mountains, its altitude above the sea 3500 feet less than the Union Pacific Railroad at Sherman, which is said to be the highest point at which a locomo- tive can be found in the world. And on the Pacific side of the continent it is even more fortunate. v- FromArizona up to the Arctic Circle the Columbia is the only river which has torn its way through that mighty range, the Andes of North America, which in California‘ is known as the Sierra, but which in Oregon changes its name to the Cascades. Nature has thus provided a pathway for the Northern Pacific Road through thesb mountains, the scaling of which, on the other line, at an elevation of over seven thousand feet (a most wonderful triumph of engineering), cost the Central Pacific Companygmillions of dollars, and compelled them,for seventy «miles, to main- tain a grade OI: over one hundred feet to the mile—twice the maximum of the Northern Pacific at the most difficult point on its en- tire route. It is fortunate, also, in itsterminus on the Pacific coast. No one who has not been there can realize the beauty of Puget Sound and its surroundings. One hundred .miles long, but so full of inlets and straits that its navigable shore-line measures seventeen hundred and sixty miles, dotted with lovely islets, with gigantic trees almost to the, water’s edge, with safe anchorage every- where, and stretching southward, without shoals or bars, from the Straits of Fuca to the capital and centre of Washington Ter- ritory, it will be a magnificent entrepot for the commerce of that grandest ocean of the world, the Pacific. * * * The Land Grant Of the United States, exceeding fifty millions of acres in the winter-wheat region of our nation, (ten times as large as the area. of Massachusetts,) is doubtless suffici- ent for the completion of ~ the Road; but, besides this, millions of'private means are already invested in it. The bonds based on _ihe Land Grant, and a mortgage on the Road itself in addition, are ,being sold as rapidly as the money is needed; and, ,as an investment, yielding about eight per cent. per year. in currency, rank already with the best class of railroad securities. And thus the good work will go on with unchecked step to its final consummation, carrying the blessings of settlement, development, civil- izoiion, and Christianity with it in its pro- gress, and literally causing the wilderness to blossom as the rose. , # The Fashionable WDmln’b Prayer.

These experiments have been pushed to a success- ful termination, and we may, we think, say that Mr. Spear’s discovery will make a com- plete revolution in manufacturing enterpri- ses by. diminishing the cost of production, and give every mechanic an agent in his own workshop that is inexpensive, ecouomi- cal, and almost as readily used as gas or Se- lrago water. Mr. Spear and one of his asso- craIcs gave an exhibition of the new discov- e. yesterday forenoon to a party of scien- ir‘c gentlemen and merchants at Holyoke‘s wnarf, where they have fitted up experi- mental works : and with one accord the tes- timony of the witnesses is that the new mo- trve power rs'destincd to effect a complete revolution in mechanic arts, and is a para- lcl With the electric telegraph as a benefac- tor to society. And yet, the whole system 'of applrcatron, when once seen, is very sim- ple. Common air, is compressed by steam or water power in a resevoir, to any desired pressure, and from thence distributed in pipes to any point, however (llstant, where its use rs desu‘cd. ‘Of course fjre pipes are practi- cally a. partof the reservoir, and the pressure on_them is the same, and to prove no pow- er .15 lost, a garrge is placed at the extreme pornt of the pipe indicate the same pressure as one at the reservoir. A common valve lets the compressed air upon a small and insrgmficant looking engine, consisting of only a“valve chest” cylinder, piston and bal- ance-wheel. A large Daniel’s planer, situa- ted 480 feet from the reservoir,was first shown and _ abackmeiac ship knee put under the knives: The work was handsomely done. The arr was then turned into a portable steam engine in the building, and it Was readily driven up to its full capacity of 12 horse power. Other machines were after- wards driven by the some means, and the efl‘icrcncy pf the power fully demonstrated. Mr: Spear has also invented a. governor, which rs Operated by pressure instead of motion, like the gov‘ernor of a steam-engine.' Iis operation is shown by the following il- lustration: —Suppose the pressure at the reservoir is 100 pounds to the square inch, and a mechanic a mile away requires but 25 pgnnds to drive his works. He graduates his governor, which is attached to his cu- grne, at that rate, and no matter what the fluctuations at the reservoir are, so long as they do not go below his initial point, he re- cexvcsa steady and uniform power. It is a very ‘rngenious piece of mechanism, but it would require 100 much spa‘ce to .describe its construction. ‘Mr. Spear claims for his discovery the greatest economy and safely. By the use of a 50 horse power engine air can be Com- pressed in a reservoir to an extent equal to a 100 horse power engine. The pipes can be extended to almost'au indefinite extent, and the friction in turning curves in the pipes rs overcome by a very simple inven- tion rn respect to their construction. By the use of this power, the expense of providing and maintaining long lines of shutting in large shops is overcome, and the necessity of keeping alargc boiler and engine running where but a small portion of the machinery in the shop is in use—ins is the case almost daily in. every establishment—is removed. livery piece of machinery—from the largest ll'Oll planer cr lathe to a sewing machine— can have its independent engine. When one of these is required, the workman opens his valve, starts his engine, drives his lathe, and when his job is done, the engine is stop- pcd, and the power is sfivcd which under all our present methods is wasted. Mr. Spear calculates that the tidal force at Turkey’s Bridge is sufficient to furnish compressed air power for all the machinery now run in the City of Portland. 0111' narrative may seem strange, almost incredible. but we only relate very briefly, what we have seen, and we hope his discovery, will abundantly satisfy any one who will call on him. Some of the most accomplished engineers are enthusias- tic in ils praise, and after months of the most careful observation the gentlemen at the Patent Office in Washington have pronoun-‘ ccd it a most wonderful and valuable work. - Portland Post. A party who travelled about pretty exten- sively was greatly perplexed to understand how it w as that other persons Were waited up on promptly and well served at hotels, while he was almost entirely ignored and could scarcely obtain a square meal, complain to, and swear at the ~waiters as much as he might. At last his eyes were opened to the dodge of fecing the waiters liberally, and be- ing of an ingenious turn of mind be deter- mined to improve on the plan. The next hotel be dined at, he took his seat very pompously at the table, and pulled out a well-filled pocket book, extracted therefrom a ten-dollar bill, which he laid on the white cloth beside his plate, and placed his goblet upon it. , In an instant, almost, be was surrounded by waiters, who seemed to vie with each other in attentions. Every wish was antici- pated, and all the delicacies of the kitchen and pantry were placed beforclrim in tempt- ing array. Having fared as sumptously as a prince (to the envy of the other guests,) he took up the greenback and beckoned to the nearest waiter, when he was beseiged by half dozen or so. Holding the bill in one hand, he pointed to it with the other, and inquired of the crowd. “Do you see that bill ?" / “0 yes, sir i” they all exclaimed in cho- me. “Then take a good look at it,” he replied “for you will never see it again.” Saying which, he departed, leaving the waiters aghast. Vice President Colfax writing from his home at South Bend, to a friend in New York denies the widely published report of his intcmperancc in the use of tobacco and says that since first elected to preside in the House eight years ago he has never risen in Ilrc morning, at home or at Washington, that he has not felt he had twice as much work to do that day as there was really time in which to do it. Correspondence of all conceivable in- quiries and all kinds of business, etc, often extending to hundrlcds of letters per week, he has attended to himself in addition to his official duties always in hours stolen from sleep.

Something of the some contrast is seen in the career of our Mr. Seward. His early life was confined and barren of incident; but now that he is in his seventy-first year, he is reveling in all the glories of Eastern adven- ture. We catch glimpses of him at Delhi, at Umballu and at Paileaila. At the latter place be was the recipient ofa written invitation, both in Persian and English, put in a silk envelope embroidered with gold, and bearing a soul as large as the palm of one’s band. This of course, was from the Maharajah, and was followed by several four horse carriages lined with blug velvet, and they by “twenty-four elephants standing in line,” whose houdahs were reached by silver ladders. Mr. Seward could not mount them all, but we are given to understand that he would have been per- fectly welcome io—sucli beinglhe determin- ed hospitality oi the magnificent r‘rlaliarajab. However, Mr. Seward (lid undertake the as- cent of one of" the elephants, which had ear- rings bangiug down to its feet, and he led the grand procession to the palace prepared for him, with the injunclion, “This is yours.” Then he attended an elephant fight,and was subsequently recreated by native musicians, gymnasts, dancing girls and the court fool,- who was followed by all the ministers with a “salaam.” Mr. Seward waspresenicd with a “Kinkob furbancf great beauty.” It is hardly any wonder that during this whole time the Himalayas were suffered to stand in sight covered with snow, but unvisitcd. In due lime, however, the peaks were sealed in Oriental “jountous,” and the last we hear of our honored statesman is, that be was about to start for lugglcporc—which we hope proved more pleasant than its name. .

When diamonds are polished, and yet un- set, the genuine gem is easily detected from the imitationby laying the stones on a prin- ted paper. Diamonds, alihoua‘b brilliant, are not transparent ; so, if the letters shine through and are visible, the stone is of rock- crystal, paste, or other imitations. The New York correspondent of the New Bedford (Mass) Mercury thus describesMiss Mary A. Booth, formerlyI of Hartford :— “The talented cditress of arper’s Bazar, is a most charming and interestinglady.

Capron, commis- sioner of agriculture, received from Ecuador :1 package of roots and bark of a' shrub call- ed “cunderango” which is found in that, and it is believed in other South America states. The value of the plant lies'rn the fact that it is rcpl'i‘senicd as a specific for the supposed incurable disease known as cancer. The specimens were distributed amonn' medical and serentific men, one of whom, r. Bliss, is reported to have applied it with remarka- ble success, in twenty days curing the moth- er of Vice President Colfax and others aflicted with the disease. A supply of cun~ derango has been sent for and it is to receive further tests which may prove it to be of great value. LONDON.—Tlle population of Lbndon in 1861 amounted to 2,803,989. The Registrar General, comparing his own statistics with those of the census cnumcraiors, calculates that in the middle of 1871, that is on July lst oi the present year, the population of London will be 3,258,469. As taken by the census ofiicials the population registered as lll ing in London at midnight on Sunday, April 2d, 1871, was 3,251,804. The method ofcalculaiion as used b the Registrar Gen- eral, gave for the same unday night a pop- ulation of 3,247,631, differing only 4172 from the inhabitants as actually enumerated. This close correspondence, it is argued, shows that the system of the Registrar Gen- eral isbased upon correct principles. This population of three and one-quarter millions of persons living in London, reside on both sides of the Thames, and are spread over an area of 122 square miles, extending from Woolwich to Hammersmiih. and from Hampstead lo Norwood. There are on an average 2669 inhabitants to" the square mile. This story is told of Judge Vose, of New Hampshire, in his last days, when almost l'fcless' through paralysis : A neighbor Came in who was understood to have seen better daysbut had been reduce I by improvi- deucc or bad habits to a rather dilapidated condition. He, however, appeared this day quite unexpectedly in a pretty tidy suit of black. The son remarked the change, and inquired if he was mourning for any one. “No,” was the reply ; “only mourning for my sins.” The Judge raised up for a moment, and but for a moment; and with his droil look and his latter broken articulation asked, “Lost any of ’em ?” A Touching Incident. Some years ago we visited Portsmouth, N. H ., to attend a mass meeting of the Washingtonians. As we were passing along one of the principal sirecis,‘our atten- tion was attracted by the noise of a bell, succeeded by the stentorian tones of the stur- dy cricr, who was announcing .the meeting. As he approached nearer we said to him : “Friend! I hope you are personally inter- ested in the object about which you are ma- king so much noise for the benefit of oth- L‘r's.” "Ah I” said he, “I am glad you mentioned it. I want to tell you about it ; I am asham-' ed'to tell you 1 was an awful drunkurd. Il’l tell you what turned me round, I was ter- rible dry, one morning. and wanted some rum. I handed my youngestboy, only srx years _oicl, some, coppers and a jug, and told him to go and get me a pint of rum. It was a real cold morning and. Willie’s irow- , scrs were thin and rugged, and he had no great coat nor mil'tens. Willie didn’t want to go; but I scolded him, and he started a few steps, and then stopped and said : “Father I wish you would give me a cent to buy a stick of candy.” “I told him to go along, and not bother me about 1. stick .of candy. The little fellow began to cry and slammered out : "Father, you never give me any money to buy candy. Tom Jones (he was the rum- scllcr 3 boy) has candy every day, and he says I can’t have any because my father’s a dr‘unknr‘d.” . “I felt as though lightning had struck me. “Good God i” said I, “has it come to this ? Have I been paying my money to support the rumsellcr and his wife in luxury, while my own little b0 could not have a srugle cent for candy? 'es,I am a drunkard ; but old J ories’ children won’t sneer at Willie and me any longer." “I called my bOy back, and took the jug and the money. Here are the copper-s said be, taking them from his pocket—five of them: I will keep them as long as I live, and when I did. have them as sacred legacy to my children. I have got six, and a good wife‘besides. You don’t 00]: upon adrunk- ard now i Thank God, I am saved, and my home is happy I I will do what 1 can to save others. Stranger—that jug don’t go to Jones’ now, and my boy’s as smart cable 1 Having told me “about it," lieugain rang his bell and walked away, pro’claiaiing as before, the invitation to ahead the great convention.
