Statements vary as to the magni tude of the army which Xerxes brought with him from Persia for the overthrow of Greece, but, even if Oriental imagination is allowed to dwell upon the figures, this array would be smaller than the armies that several of the modern European governments can now call out in case of need. A complete mobilization would give to France an army num bering between two and three mil lion men. Indeed, some recent au thorities have estimated that, under the new military rule, in a few years more the number of men who would be directly connected with the army, or connected with its military oper ations, would not fall short of 4,000, 000. Germany could now put into the field an army of 2,G50,000, which will doubtless be increased by the proposed changes in the military law to more than 3,000,000. Austria has prepared for war a force num bering about 1,300,000. The Ital ian army, upon a war footing, num bers about 2,500,000, while the Rus sian army has resources in troops which amount up to 5,000,000. The city of New Orleans neter witnessed a more imposing spectacle than Wednesday's obsequies over the remains of the late Jefferson Davis. Representative men from all the South were there to pay homage to the man who had for twenty-five years borne all the ob loquy of a lost cause. Eight Gov ernors of States acted as pall-bearers. The remains were temporarily laid to rest in the Metairie Cemetery, while memorial services were held in every city and town in the South. No man conld have gone to the tomb amid more emphatic evidences of sorrow. The mourning everywhere manifested. for Mr. Davis in the South excites no animosities. It is the tribute of a people who, al though overthrown in their defense of a misdirected aud misguided cause, have never lost respect for their faithful, honorable leader- With yesterday's sorrowful pageant the great civil War fades into his tory. The woe, bitterness, the bloodshed and the hates of a quar ter of a century ago are but misty memories. The Union is Peace and the future is radiant with the golden bow of promise. N. Y.

The Micro-oiic Man. John Thomas lleslop, of Bir mingham, England, is a lad whore powers of vision are to be accounted among the marvellous. He is known as "the living microscope" on ac count of being able to see the most minute objects clearly defined. In 1S7S or 1879 he was attacked with some baffling eye trouble and came very near losing his sight forever. After the v disease had reached its worst there was an instant and startling change for the better. When his sight returned it was with extraordinary increased powers of vision. To John Thomas Ihe most minute plant louse was as large a3 a rabbit, and the mosquito's bill as large as an axe handle. He could see and describe distant minute ob jects with startling clearness and precision. He was amazingly shock ed upon repairing to the well to get a cooling draught to see the im mense number of hideous creatures that were floating, fighting and wriggling about in the water. From that day to this water has never passed the lips of John Thomas lles lop ; his drink cousists wholly of cof fee, tea aud milk,, thoroughly boiled. The doctors say that the entire organization of the eye has undergone a structural change; that the cornea has become abnormally enlarged, and that the crystalline lens have divided into three differ ent disks or circles, each circle sur rouuded by another of light blue. Pnyaloloelcal Facts. The average number of teeth is thirty-two. The weight of the circulating blood is twenty-eight pounds. The brain of a man exceeds twice that of any other animal. A man breathes about twenyt times a miuute and twelve hundred in an hour. The average weight of an adult is one hundred and fifty pounds and six ounces. A man breathes about eighteen pints of air in a minute, or upward of seven hogsheads in a day. The average weight of the brain of a man is three and one-half pounds ; of a woman two pounds and eleven ounces. The heart sends nearly ten ponnd3 of blood through the veins and arter ies each beat, and makes four beats while we breath once. Oue hundred and seventy-live million cells are in the lungs, which would cover a surface thirty-times greater than the human body. The average height of an En glishman is five feet nine inches; of a Frenchman five feet four inches ; of a Belgian five feet six and three quarter inches. A Queer MlNfurtnne. Sanford Express. Moore county will have no public school fund next year because of the failure of Sheriff Black, while in office and because of the failure to promptly sue his sureties when it became known that he had failed. -It is too late now to lament over this, but an excellent opportunity is offered the people to test their devo tion to private schools. For one year the public school is out of the question and it remains to be een whether there will be more and bet ter private schools in the county. Private schools ought to be estab lished in almost every community. The people cannot afford to do noth ing for the education of their chil dren because they have lost the pul" lie fund. Rapid Swimming; Fish. It is understood that for short distances the salmon is the swiftest of fishes. It has been estimated that its speed, at high pressure, or under chase, is from twenty to twenty-five miles an hour. For long distance the shark is believed to be the most rapid swimmer. Goldsmith, referring to it in his "Natural History," says: "He out strips the swiftest ships (in those days), plays round them, darts out before them, returns, seems to gaze at the passengers, and all this while it does not seem to exhibit the smal lest effort to proceed." It is calcu lated that sharks are capable of keeping up a speed of from seven teen to twenty miles an hour. The whale, when hard pressed, can make about fifteen miles an hour, though its usual speed seldom exceeds nve. TREATMENT OF PRISONERS. The next number of Belford's Magazine will contain an article written more than a year ago by Jefferson Davis on the treatment of prisoners during the war. It was written for the North American Review, but editor Rice would not print it after asking for its prepararation. The truth was too mucn ior nis siomacn. News & Observe!
