Oriental diplomacy Is a thins past finding out. and neblv dares to prophesy, but the opinion In diplomatic circles here now is that a compromise is no longer possible, and that war is inevitable." Chinese TroopK fnrtiel. I)NDON July 29. Advices have reached here indicating: that the Japanese attacked the Chinese troops who landed at A nan from the transports that escaped from the Japanese war ship?. It is added that China has prohibited the exportation of rice or grain. Torpedoes have been laid in the North channel and at the entrance of the Yang Tse KUng. The Chinese government Is buying war material freely. As h result of inquiries made of experts in Eastern politics and persons who have reside! in Corea it is learned that widespread discontent exists in Corea because of tha corruption and misovernment that everywhere prevail. One of the most powerful revolutionary factors In the country is a quaj-i-relitfous sect called Tonfj-Hak. which ascrite3 the precarious condition of Corean trade and commerce to the presence of foreigners in the country. This sct has set for itself the task of ridding Corea of the hated foreigners, and has threatened the Japanese ar.d other foreign ieidentH. Among: the charpes brought atcainst the foreigners Is one that they rive caueI an rnormous increase In the prices of foodstuffs, without any benefit accruing: to the Corea ns. The Kin? of corea possesses no real authority, and he U in constant terror of a revolution that will sweep him. fmm his throne. He s heavily in dbt, and the whole country is in a state of anarchy. To this condition of affairs Is due the revolt that recently t-tarted in one of the provinces. Last year Jfyxjo Coreans, armed and unarmed, threatened to march on the capital. Seoul, and expel the foreigners. This rebellion was suppressed, but the country has been disturbed ever since. Reforms in the administration are regarded as absolutely necessary, not only to save the commerce cf the country, but for the safety of foreigners. AN AIlt'lIIUKi: K 1 1.1.11).

The sweetbreads of both calf and lamb are eaten, but in this country lamb sweetbreads are so small that thev are seldom removed. It is necessary that the calf and lamb should have been well fed on milk to make the sweetbreads white and tender. As soon as the animal feeds on grass this iortion becomes dark and touch and In the grown animal seems entirely to disappear. One sweetbread is found in the throat and is inferior by comparison to the large, plump "heart" sweetbread. The two are usually sold together to form a pair. Sweetbreads should always be blanched after removing the fibrous skin. The mothod of putting them in cold water and bringing them to the boiling point is a mistake. They require to be soaked for at least three hours in cold, saRed water, the water being changed every hour. After this they , may be put in fresh cold water, brouerht slowly to the boiling point and allowed to simmer for five minutes. They may then be drained, cooled for a moment or two in cold water and either laid aside for use on a platter or pressed in little met?.! molds with a pound weight on top of them. Almost any metal form of suitable sizo with a perforation in the bottom for drainage may be used to mold sweetbreads. , When the sweetbreads are fried it Is desirable to mold them. When they are braized or cut in slices and stewed, or chopped for croquettes, the molding is, o-Ts course, superfluous. To fry, which Is-the simplest method of treating sweetbreads, season, with salt and pepper, dip them in the yolk of eggs, and then In bread crusts. Fry them In hot fat until they are a delicate brown. The old-fashioned method was to serve them with tomato sauce, but the richest of fine sauces are now used w ith this delicate entree. One of the most delectable ways of serving sweetbreads is to braize them. Take the tiny sweetbreads and lard them with a very small larding; needle. For six sweetbreads fry out a slice of pork for a moment or two. and half a carrot, half an onion, a spray of parsely minced tine, half a bay leaf, a tiny sprig of thyme, a spray of soup celery and two cloves. Let the sweetbreads brown in the saucepan with the vegetables until they are a delicate color. Then pour on a pood-sized cup of veal stock. Set the braizing kettle in the oven and let the contents cook slowly for forty minutes, basting every fifteen minutes. If you had an iron cover for the braizing kettle deep enough to hold live coals put the coals on it, cover them with ashes to retain the heat and let the sweetbreads brown in this way for five minutes longer. Remove them to the center ot tho platter on which they are to be served, ami serve with any sauce you fancy. Mushroom sauce is especially nice, and Rernaise sauce Is another one that Is in fashion. The gravy In which they have been cooked may be strained ' through a puree sieve; may have a little stock added to it, with a half-cup of mushrooms, and may be boiled up for six minutes to serve as a sweetbread sauce. Sweetbread croquettes are also very delicious made just as chicken croquettes are made; and chicken croquettes may be improved by adding a quantity of sweetbread to the chopped chicken. Minn Wilkin' Pembroke." The Critic. While the book, as a novel, in no way approaches the harmonious splendor and fulness of Nathaniel Hawthorne's art. it gives us in its own kind the same wonderful pictures of New England life pictures that are at once a revelation of the depth and steadfastness of human nature -and the capacity for dogged, passionless suffering born and bred in the Puritan temperament. It is a suffering that strikes one dumb with the chill of death, that freezes and kills expression instead of softening and opening one's nature to beauty and tenderness it is the sufferintr of repression and insanity the useless suffering that seems -Aicked to th3 sane mind, because it is imposed by earth, and not by heaven.

.VWOLKOX'S IKCl LIAIUTIIuS. 1'ernnnnl IIiiIiDm iiikI C'lirnttrlNtlH nn Described in Mono vn Pa .Memoirs. From Review in New York Sun. It appears that Napoleon's olfactory organs were so sensitive that the slightest evil scent was sutlicient to upset him Kreatly. He had so keen a sense of smell that he coukl detect with facility a subterranean nassase, a cellar or a sewer a lonff way off. or odors proceeding from places far away which were not noticeable to any of the persons in the vicinity, lie used to say that he would have been very unhappy in the days when four, or even six, people were made to sleep together In the same bed. Anxious at one time to guin some acquaintance with anatomy, he caused Dr. l.'orvisart to brinff him anatomical models in wax representing parts of the heart and the stomach. The Kmperor had set aside the hour which followed his luncheon for this study, but the disgust produced by the careful inspection of these parts of our animal organization made him sick and he was forced to give up the investigation. Yet the same man, riding over a hld of battle after a bloody fight, never had his stomach turned by contact with wounds of disgusting appearance and odor. On the contrary, he would often tret off his horse and place his hand upon the chest of a wounded man to see whether he still breathed; would raise him up with the aid of his officers and put to his lips a bottle of brandy which his servant Roustan carried with him for the purpose. That there was something remarkable about Napoleon's physical organization seems to his secretary demonstrated by the appearance of his body after death. When his coflin was openet at St. Helena, twenty years after it was nailed down, Napoleon seemed sleeping. His teeth had kept their whiteness, his beard and nails appeared to have grown since his death. His hand3 had the color of life: they were siHnle and resisted pressure. Ve are told that Napoleon was careful hi ,the matter of personal cleanliness. He took frequent baths. He used to brush his arms and broad chest himself, and loved, to joke about the fatness of his breasts. His valet finished by rubbing him very vigorously- on the back and shoulders, but he often used to make his Mameluke servant Roustan, who was much stronger, do thi? for him. In early life he used to be shaved, but after he shaved himself. A small mirror was held up before him, and turned as required in the process of shaving He then used to wash himself in a great quantity of water in a silver basin, which, from Its size, might have been taken for a vat. A sponge dipped In cologne water was passed over his hair and the rest of the bottle was poured over his shoulders. His flannel underclothes, his waistcoats and breeches of kerseymere were changed every day. He never gave up wearing his green or blue uniform coats the only coats he ever wore until he was told that they were beginning to showsigns of wear. His allowance for dress had at lirst been lixed at $12,0w; he had reduced this amount to $4,000, all Included. He was fend of saying that, with a yearly Income of $240 and a horse, he should have all he needed. He often referred to the time when he was an artillery lieutenant, and delighted to speak of the order he put in hH expenditures, and the savings which he mada to avoid getting into debt, especially when the triumph of the English party in Corsica had cut off all supplies from home, and he had charge of his brother Iouis, whom he was bringing up and maintaining on his pay. At such times he would censure the example of luxury which his aides dL camp and the principal functionaries of his household gave to officers of lower rank. Nevertheless, he liked to be surrounded with splendor, and a kind of pomp. He would often say to those on whom he lavished his money: "Re economical, and even parsimonious, at home; be magnlllcent in public." He followed this maxim himself. Nobody was more modest in his dress or less particular about his food and all that concerned his person. We have seen that the outlay for his toilet was cut down to Jl.OOO; the Empress, on the other hand, was allowed 1120,000 for the same purpose. The annual savings made from the revenues of the civil list amounted to nearly $3,000,000. Thus, thanks to the spirit of order and good management which obtained In his household, the Kmperor was able to keep up a court as magnificent as any other and yet to amass a treasure of more than $20.OOOA'0. a part of which, in gold and silver money, was locked up with three keys in the cellars of the Tulleries. The severe and minute attention which Napoleon paid to matters of expense caused him to be accused of avarice; at least he pretended to think so. One day when the Prince of Renevento was present, "Talleyrand," he said, "people say that I am stingy." The Minister replied with complaisance, saying that Napoleon was a great conservator and so on. The Kmperor, continuing, said in a meaning way: "You are rich. Talleyrand; when I am in want of money it Is to you that I shall apply. Frankly, now, how much have you made out of me?" The Prince of Renevento. not in the least disconcerted, answered that he was far from being rich, but that what he possessed he owed to the Kmperor. and that, accordingly, all he had was at his disposal. A MOV STORY. Viider u AYiiKon with the KinK of IleiiNtN on n Dark Mlit. C K. Finlason, the South African Journalist. We came upon a man who was complacently skinning a lion he had sh-t the night before. It was a big beast, with terrific teeth and paws as big as a soup plnte. Kaon claw was a curved dagger, and it was easy to imagine what such an anim.U would do with a man. One blow would crush in the head like an egg shell. This man told us that he was asleep under his wagon, with a little dog sleeping on his chest, when he was awakened by the dog whining in a peculiar way. For a moment he was unable to realize where he was, and was on the point of springing up. Fortunately he had the presence of mind to smother this natural impulse, and remained perfectly still. The moon was at its last quarter, but the sky was obscured by the drifting clouds, so that the light was fitful and poor, even when the clou is left the moon clear for a second. As it happened, he was Just in the position to see the lion, which was looking through te wheel of the cart at the horrsr-strk-ken dog. which remained on the breast of his master, shaking with terror. The manRobinson. I think, was his name, or Robbins kept himself from moving even an eyelid. He did no; know tor certain whether the Man was after him or the dog. He dared no: throw the dog off. for fear that the movement would precipitate an attack, and he did not like to reach for his rifle lying by his side for the same reason. Presently the lion moveJ away from that particular wheel and started circling roi;i 1 the wagon with the utmost deliberation, and so softly that the strained ears of t sweating R Vinson cotil l only ju.st hear it.

After circling round for half on hour the lion -stopped by Its old place, but a little to the left of the Wheel, so that Robinson's legs were lying within conveniently easy access.

Charleston (S. C.) Correspondence Springlield Republican. As I stood, by invitation of Captain Chichester, of the Seminole, abaft the pilot house, it was my good luck to interview a somewhat famous character, our nilot. erect and stalwart form; his strong features are marked by keen intelligence; his blue uniform is scrupulously neat; his shoes are brightly polished; his bearing graceful and polite; his words well chosen, but with no tinge of forwardness or self-conceit. A thoroughbred seaman, he began his education before the mast of a ship saling to foreign ports. For more than forty years he has been celebrated as one of the most skillful pilots in Southern waters. Born a slave, he was sold from Alexandria, Va., to a citizen of New Orleans, when about twenty, and sold again for $800 to Captain Coxetler, who commanded a barge plying between New Orleans and Vera Cruz. He became a. pilot In larpre and varied service until the breaking out of the civil war. assisted his master in fitting up the confederate privateer Jeff Davis, went to sea in her, was largely employed by the confederate government as a trusted pilot, assisted in fortifying- the South Carolina. Inlets, took part in the battle of Port Royal, bore arms at Fort Sumter in preventing the reinforcement of Major Anderson, made many trips under the command of his master to Nassau and Bermuda, in running the blockade, and was a faithful supporter of the Confederacy all through. His master had most implicit confidence In his judgment, and oiten asked his opinion of the result of the war. Dan would alwavs reply: "We'll be overpowered, but not whipped." He was quite broken-hearted when his master died. Soon after that, during Sherman's march to the sea, a federal cavalry officer, who knew that Captain Coxetter left many valuables in possession of the family and was well assured that Dan knew where they were hid, ordered him to deliver them. Dan stoutly refused, and after a rope had been tied around his neck and tie had been swung up and down until nearly dead, he still refused, and. with the hottest curses he could utter, told them to hang him. But his wife, who alone shared with him the secret, revealed it in time to save his life. This is but one of ten thousand instances, only less conspicuous, of the wonderful fidelity of the negro during the stress of the civil war, and it should weigh greatly to his advantage in any fair consideration of the race problem. A HAHHAIUAX AT IIAYREITII. The Chicago Mann Description of n AVniKiierlnn Overture. Chicago Herald. Professor Kayzer, of the Chicago Conservatory of Music, tells of a United States man from Chicago whom he met on the other side. Professor Kayzer. knowing the fondness of 'his acquaintance for music, asked him if he had heard anything that had made an impression. "Yes," was the reply. "I heard something that I shall remember 'to my dying day. 1 had heard everything in my own coun- . try except Wagnerian opera. I was prejudiced against that .school without any other reason than hearsay. Rut when I came to the continent I concluded I would throw off mv prejudice the first opportunity. It came. I had been assured by every one who spoke of it that the company was out of sight, as we say In the United States, an 1 I went. The orchestra was a monster affair. I suppose an orchestra that does business for a Wagnerian opera has to have extra recruits. Anyway, that was the biggest orchestral combination, numerically, that ever crawled out from under a stage. Of course, an orchestra that does business for a Wagnerian opera has to play Wagnerian music between acts as well as during the regular business. I want to say before I go any further that I fell into the way of saying Yogner and Vognerian as easy as cutting a clothes line. If there is anything an American can do in a minute it is to adapt himself to frills and tomfoolery on sight. Well, 1 went to the opera house all cocked and primed. I thought to myself. 'Well, old man, you have done yourself proud.' Pretty soon the fiddlers began to key up, and the man with the drum.s and cymbals -and triangles looked like a cherub in a new spring suit. He was the happiest looking man I ever saw. The leader spread his arms like a rooster just alter a Democratic victory, and then the whole orchestra cut loose at once. It was like a Fourth of July. I didn't like it, but 1 strangled my prejudice. Finally the fanfare died away and I thought they had lost 'their scores in some way. Then I heard, away off to the left of the center of the line, an air that soothed my soul. It was low and sweet beyoif 1 any anticipation of contentment. It was like the music one hears at twilight. It touched me and made me think of h-vme. I said to rovself. That fellow has either got hold of the wrong sheet of music or Vogner is a muchabused man.' I heard it die away, and it seemed to me its echoes created a rest. "While he was playing I looked over the orchestra to see how it was nffectlng it. 1 saw one fel'ow with some sort of an instrument that looked like three or four misfit Joints of stovepipe. I saw he was getting it lined up. so to speak, and there was a look on hH face that I would recognize if I saw it in a riot at the stockyards. He seemed to say to himself. 'Aha, young feller with the flageolet, I am onto your curves. I'll knock the stuffing out of that when I get my cue. You won't be In it when I raise the wli.d.' It was his play when the heavenly strain was finished. He unbuttoned his suspenders ar;l got red in the face, and cf ail the infernal blasts that ever broke loose that was the most excruciating. I thought the joints of h's ;nvtr'imn' had melted. A barrel of tin scraps falling through the window of v lini ar. l car oming on the glass and croekeryware would be a symphony in (1 compare I to the racket that fellow kicke 1 up. When he had gone through about three sheets of music he stopped an 1 turned up his jointed musical contraption and a stream of water gushed out of the funnel-shaped end that would have ma3e a Chicago fireman turn green with envy. There was a lull for a second, and then the man at th? drum gat in his work. He sernied to think that the fellow will th joints hadn't don? his duty, lie hit the drum a resounding swat, and then the cvmbaD clittr.l i"d t triangles went ofT with a ban.', "-'lov'ntr this he hit the back of a chair wi-vi a string of sleigh bells, i :vri l what a jar r t-v created.

and every man in the orchestra Just laid

CT down and sawed and blowed and screeched, and the men with the big fiddles doubled themselves. It was ahead of any tom-cat orchestration that ever broke loose on a back fence. I looked at the little man with the tlageclet he who had charmed me and he was still as a mountain top at midnight. When it was all over I picke t up my hat and cane and walked out. I had heard the prelude of a Vognerian opera. I never could have listened to th opera. I knew my oM-time prejudice hal come upon me, and the next time I hear any one say ogner to me the State Department at Washington will have its hands full getting an American out of a foreign lockup."

"That some men are born under an unlucky star 1 verily believe," said a business man to a reporter. "Fatality surely follows some men. and, try as they will, they cannot avoid it. It was so in the case my brother; misfortune followed him tro.n the cradle to his grave. He seeme never to be able to escape it. Wherever he would go it followed him like a shadow. I remember how, when a boy, sitting in a high, chair, he fell from his seat into a tub of scalding water, scalding his feet so severely that it was months before he had fuby recovered. All during his childhood and boyhood he had a greater number of accidents than usually befell reckless youngsters. When he grew up the first serious accident which befell him was one day when he was grinding tx chisel. The tool slipped, his hand got caugnt in the machineryit was a steam grindstone and th back of his hand and half his thumb were sacrificed. "Shortly after this he was working at a machine in a. manufactory when le had two nngers taken oft. In adjusting a mowing machine some time after this the bla'lo took off another finger. Not only in accidents was he unfortunate, but he seeme I to be marked for ail sorts of mistakes and blunders in which he -xns always the sutferer. One evening he took a walk down Liberty street, and was standing looking at a building when three tough looking men began to eye him; then he heard one say: 'Yes, that's our man; go tor him.' He told me he did not kne .v what man him do It, but as soon as the fellow sail this he was seized wa"th an impulse to run. and he followed it. He was an athletio man, and soon got the lead of the thrc-a fellows who followed him. but not until ha reached Scho did he succeed in eluding them. There he hid in a saw-mill. He had not the least idea for what the men were chasing him, but knew instinctively that It was dangerous to fall into their hands. When he had hidden there for a long tim he came out, only to be chased again; but he reached home in safety. "While working In a mill shortly after this some white-hot molten metal splashed upon the palm of his hand and burnt itJ way through. While working in the same place a fellow-workman dropped a heavy bar upon his head, taking away part of his scalp. Thinking that luck was against him in Pittsburg, he went to Cleveland to find work. While walking along the street there one day a man whom he tiad never seen before, without the least provocation, slipped in front of him and gave him a blow which broke his nose. Not being able to find work, he shipped on Lika Erie, and on his first trip was wrecked, nearly losing his life. That settled shipping for him. and he went to peddling. In going about he was constantly being taken for somebody else. One woman claimed he was her son, and, strangely, too, his n.ima was the same as her son's. So much trouble did this cause him that he gave up peddling and came back to Pittsburg. He ha l scarcely been in the city a day when :i man came up to him. while he was standing on Diamond -street, and. without cause, deliberately struck him with a billy on tha nose, breaking that organ. Well, his lucJc never seemed to change. He continued having one misfortune after another piled upa:i him, until one day he went out hunting and then he lost his life. A friend mad.' a, shot, which, by mistake, struck my brother in the side, and he died of the wound. Surely fatality followed him." Toothsome DIhIi. Hartford Courant. Green corn fritters are a delicious dish. Grate twelve ears of corn Into four wellbeaten eggs; salt and slightly pepper; then beat into it enough flour to make a bater almost too thick to drop readily; drop small spoonful's in hot lard, and fry as you would doughnuts. Some cooks add a littls butter, but I like thern best without, for it is apt to make them greasy. The f.reii ter .eel. Kansas City Journal.
