A Journalist's Adventure. I That you may comprehend my narra- 6 tive properly, ft is necessary for you to ; j know the precise circumstances under ' ? which I entered Paris in the month of ! h August, in the year 1867. When a man 1 c looks back upon his life, liis memory s commences with some particular incident which was so marked and peculiar s that it cast its shadow npon all the succeeding years. So now, glancing over g my shoul Jer, I find that "I cannot recall fc' nuy place in Europe, on my homeward tour,that lies behind Switzerland. For j this reason, I shall alter Lord Byron's ! expression, and say, I awoke one morn- j 3 ing, and found myself getting ready to j ft go over the Pass of the Simplon. * ^ Whether I ever went over this pass, I don't know ; but I am quite certain that e it was perplexing to me some time after- ' wards to suddenly find myself, first in n Perrara, then in Bologna, and then in " ^lodena, then in Parma, and then in i a . various other places, all perfectly irre- | eoncUable with any recognized ideas of ; s; geography ; until Genoa, Avignon and | tl Lyons were the dawn to the daylight 1 o of the Rue de Rivoli in Paris. How my j mind comes to be so much at fanlt upon k these important points, it is impossible v for me to say. I made my way, without j a rofinne and oomDarativelv without ex- I P pense. To say the truth I had no francs to ; t< spare. A man who subsists upon oc-; e oasional remittances from a newspaper j p to which he is attached, and that news-! ^ paper a new speculation likely to evapo- j d rate at any moment, has neither a very j h sure nor a very liberal source of income, j t' What francs I had, I secured about mv j " waist to make certain of them, and as 1 j e told you, one evening in August crept \ into Paris. j s] It was well for me that an English- j man, whom I had known in Rome, had i c: lived in Paris at the cheapest rate for a j f< year or so, told me that the Rue Met- j t] ternich was the most obscure and yet I a respectable street in all Paris, and that, \ food and lodging actually cost there next | li door but one to nothing. | p After some difficulty, I found the Rue j Metteruich, conveniently hidden between ; ii two great streets, and locked out for No. j tJ 90. The houses all seemed to belong \ f< to noble old families that had spent all ! h their money, and were forced to main- [ p tain very reduced establishments in re- i ^ tired localities. ' No. 90, with a fresh j coat of paint and damask curtains at the : tv windows, could have taken its place in tl the most fashionable street in any capi- j s: tal of Europe, and never be found out ; p by aoybody. " Monsieur!" Turning around, I discovered that my j y train of reflection had been interrupted by as pretty a French girl as one might ! f] wish to see. ! j< " Pardon 1- I would like to know g ma'amselle, if I can obtain lodging here, [ h This is No. 90, I believe. Mr. Henr. Brownsmith directed me to inquire y b this house." 11] * t >? "uomem. Once in, I did not parley long. I n must have a quiet room, not very diffi- 1 oult to select where all was quietness; b and the price must be at least within the ; v bounds of reason. My faii^ conductress, who appeared to be the mistress v of the establishment, as I saw nobody i ti else, was quite a business woman, and a lost no time in making a bargain. In I ten minutes I had agreed to take a e chamber in the attic, for as long a time | r.s I shouid need it, and had closed the ii arrangement by paying an installment J for two weeks down. (f< On the next morning I took possession, fi I will not describe the happy life I lea f] for a week or so after this. It embraced h nothing but lounging about the city I the greater part of the day, and writing i e my letters home in the evening. Hav- 11< ing a weakness for gossip, I made them i pretty long. Material was easily ob- e tained by seeking out all the obscure f( places and having interviews with a variety of eccentric characters, seldom 1< met with by tourists generally ; and I j n kuow that some of the facts I gathered were certainly novel, if not interesting. ;? I don't believe I ever spoke to a living j tl creature for a whole week, efccept the S eccentric characters in low life men- -r tioned above ; and I know I had noth- , n ing to say to anybody at my lodgings. ! At first, I began to think that the girl i p who had let me in, on my first evening, I d was the only person about the house, *\ si 5 but after two or three days several old 1 gentlemen?not a single young one? tl appeared on the staircase, just coming j h in or just going out, and once I descried f< I an elderly lady entering a room on the floor immediately below. ! _ Great, then, was ray surprise one d morning to hear the sound of a musical t? box proceeding from the apartment next n door. It was the first greeting to my ; s ears when I awoke. I got up, stole . quietly across the floor, put my cheek ic to the wall, and listened. \ i "Exquisite! charming!" I cried, i c hunting for my stockings. " Would ji that I might be permitted to listen for- : ever ! I shall make it a point immedi- : c ntely to find out (where are my stock-'t iugs ?) to find out who it is that possesses i ( the means of treating herself to this j ] music at will. She shall become my 11 bosom-shirt?I mean my bosom friend.i At that moment some one knocked at the door. 1 "Enter!" I exclaimed, in a tragic e tone. i 1 A gentleman came in, bowing and j! smiling most agreeably. He was a person in the prime of life, with iron gray < _huir, great glittering eyes and a broad ? "forehead. He said, " I have come, 1 Monsieur, to apologize for making music J bo early in the morning. I disturbed i1 you." . U ;;j ' " What!" I cried, " are you the muei- I ^ \ cian in whose head rests the power to j < thrill every nerve of a man's organiza- j f tion ? Let me hear, your sublime melody j once again, and I shall die in peace." "Monsieur is welcome to my poor I musio. I shall be proud to have the honor of making it play for him again." j t "Instantly, if you value my happi-1 cess!" was my rejoinder, thrusting my- j s pelf into my clotheB. " But stay, I've | had nothing to eat. Shall I eat the j' music before I hear my breakfast?I j < mean,' shall I eat my breakfast before I | hoar the music ?" j 1 "As Monsieur chooses." 11 "Then I choosa to hear the music < first. Lead the way, if you please." The old gentleman appeared to be de- ' lighted. Smiling and nodding his head, until I looked for it to be suddenly twisted off, he took me across the pas < sage, and into his chamber. There was i lotliing there but a bed, a chair, a table liree or four musical instruments, am he sublime musical-box. "Monsieur charms me with his con lescensions," said my conductor. "I hope you -will believe," I replied that I am honored to be invitei lere." V..1 Ho went over to tlie uttie tauie, w>uj i key from his pocket, wound up th< 30x, auil placed his hand on a crank Then looking at me with infinite plea ;ure, he said I should now hear th< ' Sophie Yalse," by Strauss. It was rapturous. Conceive a grant siano, played by a master, every noti obbedof that harshness and acute forci s-hich are inseparable from it upon ai nstrument of the kind; imagine ai jrchestra of fairies; imagine anything ikely to hold you entranced for hours ind you may obtain a faint idea of th< nusic produced by my neighbor's box kVhen the piece was finished, I fell upor lis neck. He patted me on tho shoulder ind said I had a souL " You must breakfast with me," I re urned. " What is your name ?" "Wolfgang Mozart d'Aubepine," h< mswered proudly. " Then, Monsieur Wolfgang Mozar ['Aubeoine. permit me to have the loner." "Alas!" he returned, shrugging hit houlders, " I have already break as t?d." To refuse seemed to break his heart " \Vell, I Trill call upon you during he day?probably this evening." " Come in the twilight; then you 6hal lear the ' Tempest of the Heart.'" "I swear I will not disappoiut you !' lus ti 'loi ramatically I left him. When evening came, I presented my elf at his door, and was greeted en nusiasticauy. " \jom? ju; wmc m, ried M. d'Aubepine, How rapidly had our friendship grown Vhen we met now only for the seconc ime in our lives, we seemed to hav< ;nown each other for years. As for M, I'Aubepine, he was one of those mer ou cannot help liking. His manne] ras so full of artlessness and simplicity, tis nature so impulsive and poetical, ] ould have sworn fidelity to him on th< pot. We went into the room together anc at down. " You are devoted to music?" I said, lancing at the instrument hanging on tie wall. 41 It's my existence !" he replied. " Do you perform on the violin?" "Ah, Monsieur, only in imagination I 'ou behold a real Straduarius; but aith has ordained that I shall nevei Nike its chords." "Indeed !" I exclaimed, deeply intersted. " Too true, unfortunately. But dc ot press me I beg. There are wonnds 2 the heart that never heal; touch them nd they bleed afresh." His utterance claimed my instant ympathy. I besought him to believe hat I should not recall such sad memries again. "Ah, my friend," said he, "youi indness overpowers me ! To a man rhose past is bitterness, whose future ie blank, what can be sweeter than sympathy like yours ?" Then, to change the subject, I began o talk of travels. We compared oui J T C ?J H,?t M inU ApurieuueB, uuu ? luuuu iuau ill, auuoine had seen nearly every part of the rorld. He -was full of anecdote and escription, and I could have listened tc im forever. I Our interview lasted ovei wo hours. When I arose to go, he said, 1 You have not yet heard my box thif vening. May I set it going ?" "If you will favor me, Monsieur. 1 ball be delighted." He wound it up, and touched the rank, when solemly and slowly, pealed srth that magnificent air, " Tempest oi iie Heart." Tears came into my eyes, nd my whole being was subdued. ykile the wonderful melody was yet ngering in my ears, I pressed my comanion's hand, and retired. From this night dated the singular itimaoy which existed between us until ie catastrophe occurred which is to >rm the climax of my narrative. I spent ours and hours daily with M. d'Aubeine, always with pleasure and alwaye rith profit. - In this manner passed the rapid weekB, 'hen one evening as we were sitting in ie dark, with the door closed, I heard a igh escape from my friend's breast that ained me beyond expression. "You are melancholy,"! said. "I pray you will not let it trouble ou," he answered. ii Unt nn/lar tlia oirnnmotonfioq nf rmr riendship, there is no help for it," I rerined. "I behold you suffer, and it neves me to be able to afford no reef." ''Our friendship? Yes; you have een devoted to me, Monsieur, and I am ruly grateful." " The best proof of that will be to let le hear your sorrows," was my reply. "Would that I might be allowed to reathe them forth in the melody of that iolin i But it must not be." I thought I perceived in his tone o ery slight, though unmistakable, inviition to further scrutiny into his secrets, nd I promptly began to press him. 'inally, he answered "I am a political xile." " Yon have risked your life in returnag to France." "Yes. Three weeks ago I set mj Dot on the pavements of Paris, for the ret time in fifteen years. I found my fiends dead, my home deeolate, myseli opelessly rnined. You, Monsieur, an Englishman, know the blessings of librty. "Would you not die rather than )se it?" "I would perish at my fireside," I xclaimed, rising in my seat, "in de?nce of my sacred rights." "What, then, do you think when von x>k across the sea and behold so many ations in chains ?" " What do you think I 1 demanded. 1A thousands times have I been upon lie point of springing to their aid. ihould France rise, at the moment rhen the tocsin sounded I should seize ly musket and fly to the streets." "You would bare your breast to guard oor. abused France!" cried M. 'Aubepine, pacing the room in an ec tacy 01 aengnt. " Yes," I replied, in tones that rang rirougli the room. " Yes, I wonld be er shield. I should fall lifeless at her set rather than surrender !" "Come to my arms, my brave friend -my brother. But," whispered M. 'Aubepine, "what if it were necessary o work in the dark, to plot in secret, to line, to lay the track of gunpowder; hall yoa be wanting ?" "No; I should be the most zealous onspirator of the band. All, sir, the uysterions, ihe unfathomable is my eleaent! My face, when I choose, is ai] mpenetrable mask." " My dearest brother!" exclaimed M.

I began t< lisplay my uneasiness. "Sir," continued M. d'Aubepine, " iave entrusted you with my secret. A i man of honor, you must share m; 1 anger. You must aid me." " How is that possible?" I demanded "Ialso have a mission here." " Ah 1" he exclaimed, in some surprise "Yes. My relations with my ovr jountry will not permit me to take sue' & step as you propose." , " Your mission is private?" 1 " Yes; in a measure." " Then I give you three -weeks to con - aider.

Before retiring, ] , ' packed up my things. I was resolved t< | fly at daybreak. . | I had not been asleep more than tw< j hours, when I was aroused by a louc 3 , knocking at the door. I got up some ! what perplexed, and opened it. llie fc landing outside was tilled with soldiers ? each carrying his gun and a lantern. "Youare Mr. AdolphusSt. Jermyn?' 3 asked a sergeant. "I am." ! "You must dress and come with me.' While I was getting ready, I sa'n r through the open door three soldiers standing on the steps, apparently guard 1 ing some one. A second glance reveal ed the features of the prisoner to b? ' those of M. d'Aubepine. " I am lost," thought I. - !

The single i incautious remark that I had a private mission caused my arrest.

Kerosene oil is one of the produotf j derived from refining crude petroleum ! as it comes from the well. The oil is always more or less dan' gerous, according to the amount oJ volatile gases left in it. Every lamp filled with the fluid it j liable to explode after burning several - hours. ' | But no explosion will ever happer ' with the lamp full. i The danger comes from the constant ' i generation of an invisible vapor in the confined space above the oil. This I vapor, which is inflammable, is caused 1 j by the heat of the burner communicated j to the oil; but it will not explode unless ' exposed to flame. The metal attachj ments on lamps often become forty dej grees warmer than the oil, which in ' itself sometimes as high as one hundred degrees. Hence, kerosene, to be entirely safe, should be near one hundred and fifty degrees proof. Very little of the oil used is aa good as this. Of sixty-three samples recently tested, only eight were found entirely ' safe. This will account for the terrible 1 loss of human life from the almost universal use of kerosene oil. ' A simple test is to place a table| spoonful of the oil in a saucer and ap' ply a lighted match; if the oil ignites, 1 I 44- nwonfn non if if /IaqO nnf I Jake fire it is not necessarily safe; be' cause the temperature of the oil in the open air is not so great as that in a burning lamp. The only reliable test is one made by ' slowly heating some oil in which a thermometer is placed, constantly noting the number of degrees and applying I o liorVif^/1 mnt/?Vi nnf fn f.lm nil hilt fn flip vapor, if any, just above the surface. \ If the oil flashes below one hundred and . twenty decrees reject it. ' ? This flashing point is the temperature 1 at which the oil emits an inflammable ' vapor, and depends upon the quantity of 1 naphtha or gasoline in the oil. ThiE point should be always higher than the ' temperature that the oil ever reaches in a lamp, which is often one hundred deI greeB. ' ! Cautions- First?Keep the metallic ! parts of. lamps clean and the air passages j open. Second?After a lamp has been burning three or more hours at one time, never relight again, till filled. Third?In extinguishing the light, 1 turn the wick down quite low and allow a few seconds to intervene before blowing out the flickering flame, or, better I still, do not blow it out, but let it j " flicker " out.?Central New Jersey Times. . How Constantinople Heard of Plevna'f Fall. The news of the fall of Plevna reached Constantinople in a curious way.

I Commander Rodgers of the United 1 States steamer Adams writes to the sec- f rotary of the navy from Sandy Point, 1 Straits of Magellan, giving an account of a mutiny among cne soiuiera ana con- ? victe at that place. He says: It ap- \ pears that the plan of the mutineers -was to take possession of the German steamer Memphis and go off in her, or failing in t that, to take the Pacific Steam Navigation Company's steamer then about due from Valparaiso. I got under way with c all despatch, and arrived here (Sandy Point) on the evening of the 14th. On e the way up the guns were loaded, as i well as the small arms, and all prepare- * tions made for any emergency. I found c ' the Chilian corvette Magellaneo already c here, having come down from Skyring- | Water, where she had been employed i surveying. I went on board her and j found the governor of the colofly there, > * and have since gathered the following ! e particulars of what seems to be the most * terrible mutiny on record, so far as nnm- e bers are concerned. It appears that c about midnight on Sunday, Nov. 11th, c the people of the town were alarmed by t the discharge of artillery and firearms. ' The first murder committed seems to : have been that of the captain of the company of soldiers, numbering about one I hundred, who were regular artillery ? troops. They mutilated the captain in j r the most horrible manner, and then i c opened fire with several pieces of artil- I T lery upon tne governor ? udusb, uireuuj in front of the barracks. The governor, upon making his appearance, was * knocked in the head and left insensible, r He, however, recovered after some time, E and made his escape to the country. ? His family also escaped, almost naked, 3 to the woods. The nflitineers then re- T leased the convicts, and altogether num- ^ bered nearly 200, armed with Winchester J and Spencer rifles. During Monday, Nov. 12th, the mutineers seemed to s have committed the most incredible ex- $ cesses in the way of wanton killing, g burning,' and sacking. On Tuesday, | e< Nov. 13th, the mutineers deserted the ft place and took to the country, carrying | with them all the public funds and much j p private property. The last heard from _ them was that they numbered ninety- * 1 -1 i. x i _ lour armeu men, ana were uuum t?u i days' march from here on the way to | Santa Cruz. As a last act of destruc- i tion, they burned all the public property i and a number of stores ; in fact, the bet't part of the town is in ashes. Upon J" my arrival the streets were strewn with it the dead bodies of the killed, thirty of which were gathered up. Most of the J killed were soldiers, who had been shooting each other indiscriminately. J It is estimated that at least fifty persons were killed. Many dead and wounded were burned in the buildings. The hospital wae burned with five wounded men in it. Laura Bun, a young colored woman, j is making speeches in Kentucky in I favor of woman's rights. | Light, Wholenome, Dillrlnni .

Gentlemen?I avail myself of this opjx. rtunity to say a worn in behalf of DR.

My wife being of delicate habit, has always : g| been troubled with a hard, dry, hacking cough, wben- | . ever taking a little cold, ?nd has employed vaiious ' specifics without obtaining any relief, until prrvailed ' 01 upon to test the virtues ot WISTAR'S BAL&AM, the ! fleet of which has been truly astonishing. More than a year since a young man belonging in this place van taken with bleeding at the lungs, in connrc- . tion with a most severe cough, and was finally git en 1 <>verto die by our best physicians, and it waa evident to nil that consumption was claiming him as a victim. I Learning the-# facts m> wife sent him a bottle of the i . BALsAM, wbich he took, and in dne time, to tbe great astonishment of his friends,was at his accustomed occu- | p patinn, snatched, as it were, from the very jaw. of ! death. In many otber caxes we have administered the I ' BALSAM to the consumptive, ana always with the best I ol success.
