A 8TOKY OK CIUMK IN PAKIS. Monsieur Cheroy was a poor dentist of the Rue de Chazelles, Paris, lie was a widower with a large family, and resided in the Rue de Legendro. He had been struggling for a livelihood for years, for, although an expert dentist and a finelooking man of cood address, fate seemed to have denied him success. As it was, he was barely able to make a subsistence for himself and family, and, to tell the truth, added a little to his doubtful professional income by acting nightly as a i.?n w, T?m. .W Capucius. On the afternoon of November 7, lSn:t, Cheroy was standing not far from the billiard hall, when he saw a veiled lady quit a large millinery establishment near by and approach a carriage in waiting for her. The day was windy and raw and the early part bad been wet. As the lady stepped into her carriage her vnil blew on one wide and she caught it and drew it to her. At the moment Cheroy saw something flash. The lady had entered the carriage and it was driven off. Cheroy watched the vehicle depart, ". and as he was turning away his eye was attracted by a glitter in the gutter, in which there was mud and water. Looking more carefully he was satisfied that the brilliancy came from nothing less than a diamond. As be drew near the edge of the sidewalk he distinctly sawthat a splendid piece of jewelry lay in the mud. For a moment ho hesitated. Paris is not a city where a person other than a chiffonier can pick anything from a gutter without being observed and probably, surrounded. Cheroy kney this well, and had recourse, therefore, to a ruse. Taking his purse from his pocket, he appeared to be searching for something inside, and then accidentally, as it were, dropped it into the gutter. In picking it up he gathered up the supposed jewel with it, and then placed uoth in his handkerchief. Having wiped the pocketbook, carefully concealing the jewel, he put both into his pocket and went toward the billiard hall." " On examining his find he was satisfied that it was most valuable. A large brilliant turrounded by sixteen smaller stones, all set in a magnificent piece of filigree, was what was disclosed to him. Carefully putting it away, he attended to his duties that night. Next moaning he visited the Rue de Vaugirard, where an old jeweler whom he knew had his business. This man, named Greuze, bought gold and silver, and supplied a good many oi the smaller dentists'with what they required. lie was a shrewd dealer and a skilful lapidary. When Cheroy showed him the jewelry he examined it slowly and without enthusiasm, and at last, having scrutinized it through several powerful lenses, he laid it on the counter with a smile nnd shrugged his shoulders. "Well, what uo you think about it, monsieur?" asked Cheroy. "Paste." was the aflnost conlemptu ous reply. "There you are wrong." said Cheroy; "no false gems ever shone like these stones, and beside, the setting shows > that the thing invaluable. Greuze took the jewel once more and examined it. At length he said: "I may be mistaken, monsieur, and if you will leave it with mo a few days I will take means to settle beyond a doubt the question of the genuineness of these . ' stones." " Many thanks" was the answer; "but I return it to the owner this evening." "The Marchioness dc Ponthieu. Greuzc said, with a half sneer. "I don't understand you,"Chcroy said. ,; "You don't,', Grcuze replied; ''read that." And he drew a morning newspaper from his side pocket, folded so as to show a small space, and handed it to Cheroy, at the same time placing his finger on an advertisement. Cheroy took the newspaper and read as foltows: One Thousand Francs Reward.?Lost yesterday afternoon, in or near the millinery establishment of Mine. Jolivet Bonlovard des Cnpucins, a brooch set with one lai-go central brilliant and sixteen smaller ones. The finder will receivo the reward named above in returning tbe brooch to the Marchioness Do Ponthieu, Boulevard Hausmann. 4,Th:s is the article, evidently," Chcroy said, "and with a knowledge of this advertisement and reward I cannot understand how you cau suppose for a moment that the jewels arc spurious." "If they had been genuine," was the reply, "don't you suppose the reward would have been larger?" Greuzc asked. "A thousand francs is a good deal of money," Cheroy replied. "To you it may be," was the answer; "hnf. Ink mo foil vmi that. if t.hncn ioupU *"v J " "*wv J-"v,u are genuine they are worth at least thirty thousand irancs." "Thirty thousand francs!" exclaimed Cheroy. "Every sou of it," said Greuze. "Let rac sees it agam.,; Cheroy handed him the brooch and he on:e more scrutinized it closely. "They may be genuine," ho said; "look here." He opened a casket and exhibited what appeared to be a magnificent necklace of diamonds. " Will you believe," he said, " when I tell you that every stone here is spurious ?it is all paste? It is true, nevertheless. Now, you are a poor man, and the marchioness 13 rich. suppose these stones are real. You take them to her and she hands you in return a paltry 1.006 francs. Nay, you don't know that she may not have a detective in her anteroom to arrest you as a thief. Now, I will talk business with you?shall I? Then here is my proposal: These stones are genuine?no doubt of it. If you will leave the brooch with me for four and twenty hours I will take out these stones and put paste in their places and give you 1en thousand francs for them. Then you can take the brooch to Madame de Ponthieu and get your 1,000 francs." in-?-'- ""But she will discover the cheat, will 97 she" not?" "If she does," was the answer, "lay the blame on me. I will take the risk." Cheroj was poor and his childreuwere miserably clad and winter was coming on, and he yielded to the tempter. The next evening, when Greuze handed him the brooch with paste substituted for the real gems, he "was astounded. For the life of him he could not tell the difference. He returned the brooch to the marchioness ana received the reward. But he invented a story as to how he came by it. "I am a humble dentist," lie said, "and my small placc is on the Hue dc Chazelles. On the evening of the day before yesterday, when I was just about to quit my place, a rough-looking man entered, and, icmoving a kerchief which was around his throat and chin, he asked me to examine his front teeth. I found that two of them were broken off and the jaw was swollen. I removed the stumps and applied a soothing lotion to him. He said that some ruffians hud attempted to rob a lady on the comer of the Boulevard des Capucins and the Rue de Seze, and that, in driving them off with some other passenger, he received a blow across the mouth. lie was on his way to the Boulevard Malesherhds to the Rue Jouffrav, when the pain grew so severe that he sought a dentist. After he was gone I was preparing to depart, when I saw something lying in the seat which the stranger had occupied. I raised It and found it was a handkerchief tied in several knots. On opening them I found the brooch inside. I immedi' atcly started for home, and didn't see your advertisement until this morning." The Marchioness de Ponthieu was "very grateful to Cheroy, and next day drove to his officc in the Rue de Chazelle with a friend nnd had Cheroy examine her teeth. She made an ap- i pointment with him tne next day, by " which time he had changed the furniure of the apartment and rented and IMMBaiJMMMaaBHMHMaaMi fitted up an adjoining room. The marchioness expressed her satisfaction and her intention of patronizing him and rccommendiug him to her friends. The result was that every day tho carriage of some wealthy lady stopped at the door, ronirllv iiuu uia nauiiiMaiitiiJ , lie ccasccl to be a billiard marker and | occupied himself with his profession, i By and by he let it be known that he used an anesthetic of a new and improved kind, and so performed difficult extractions without pain. This was a cause of increased income. Greuze soon learned of his prosperity and questioned liiin as to the character of his patients. Soon | after this Cheroy added another room to | his offices, and spent much time there | with Greuze practicing with a camera, j until they became expert at taking in- j stantaneous photographs. Among his patients was a Madam j Emerian, a wealthy woman, who wore j splendid diamonds. Chcrov was removing her teeth one or two at a time, and she suffered much. At length he pre- 1 vailed upon her to take the ana'sthetic. I * K?^o?v?n incnticihlp hf? 1'P- [ iVS SOUIl a? Silt; utuuuiv _ | moved a splendid bracelet of large and i superb diamonds, and passed it in to j Greuze in the adjoining room, who in a minute had taken three or four install- ! tancous photographs of it. Meanwhile Cheroy operated on his patient, and had the anesthetic ready to renew its application if necessary. Greuze handed back the bracelet, and Cheroy clasped it on the lady's wrist. Then Greuze de- J parted. I The next day but one Madam Emerian 1 again submitted herself to the dentist, and again wore the splendid bracelet. No sooner was she under the influence of the ana'Sthctic than Chevoy unclasped the bracelet and handed it to Greuze, who appeared from the adjoining room. Greuze compared it with another bracelet, which he then handed with a triumpant look to Cheroy, who clasped it on the ladies' wrist. This scheme was performed, perhaps, on various customers a score of times without detection, and Cheroy and Greuze were growing wealthy on the spoils. At length a circnmstance ocj currcd which led to the detection and punishment of this pair of scoundrels. One afternoon a Madam Maubert, wlmm tlii?v hurl selected as a victim. came to Chcroy's accompauied by a mnguificcnt mastiff. Cheroy suggested its being left iu charge of the coachman, as it might be troublesome, but Mine. Maubert assured him that he would be perfectly still where she directed him until she gave him permission to move. The gas was administered, Greuzc carac from his room holding the spurious gem which was substituted for the lady's brooch, and Cheroy was in the act of removing the jewelry from the lady's neck, when : the mastiff sprang upon him and seized I him by the arm. The next moment Cheroy fell, and the dog changed his grip to the throat. The man struggled and Grcuze tried in vain to drag the savage beast away. Chcrov's j cries for help were heard on the street, I and two officers were soon on the spot. I ller brooch was firm in the grasp of j Cheroy, who was lacerated and bleeding. | The moment the lady recognized her jewelry, the officers' suspicions were j aroused, and they would not allow ureuze to depart. - i\ semen ?? suusi;qucntly made and a brooch?the very counterpart, in every respect, of Alme. Maubert's, but with spurious gems?was found in Greuze's possession. The plates disclosed to the eye of a sharp detective the fact that many beautiful pieces of jewelry had been photographed, and no doubt remained of the business which Cherov and his accomplices had carried on. Greuze's place in the liue de Yaugirard was searched and valuable gems were found. Cheroy made a confession, and many precious stones were recovered and restored to their owners. There is no doubt that the scheme was of Greuze's concocting, and that Cheroy was too weak-minded to resist temptation. Grcuze was sentenced to twenty years and Cheroy to fifteen, at hard labor.? Philadelphia Neics. Horses versns Houses. Cornelius Vandcrbiit's palace (on Fifth avenue) is now understood to be for sale, but as yet no price has been announced, asserts a New York correspondent of the Utica lit raid. If any reader, however, should make an offer of half a million it might be accepted, and even then it would be selling below cost. Why, the ! land cost $335,000. "When Cornelius I selected this corner it was occupied by | two elegant dwellings for which he paid I tlm oltnvn enm ?inri thmi hud thorn dc molished in order to make room ior the palace which was three years in construction. By the time he got fairly in occupation he became a heavy Wall street speculator, and no doubt hoped to make enough to pay for the palace. Instead of that, however, he only sunk a large part of his patrimony, and is now so deeply involved as to require the assistance of his father. The latter no doubt regrets having built a palacc sincc this example probably led Cornelius into his extravagance. These Vanderbilt houses cost not less than $2,000,000, and it will be a longtime before such an outlay will be equaled. What a difference in taste is displayed by another millionaire who stands alone in the ranks of wealth, at least in love of horses. This is no temporary fancy. Had this becu the case it would have passed away. Thirty years have been sufficient to prove it to be a ruling oassir n. J Bonner does not crave a palacc like Vanderbilt, beiug satisfied to excel him in horse flesh. In this point, indeed, he has always astonished the public. When he paid $10,000 for Lantern every one was astonished. That was twenty-five years ago, however, and since then he has invested a halt million in the same manner. The interest on this investment is $500 a week, and the cost of keeping the animnls is an eoual sum. Had Bonner been like Astor, he would have put his money into land, and (taking interest into consideration) he would in that case be richer by a million and a half. Ilad ho been like Lenox, he would have invested in rare books and literary j curiosities. Hnd he resembled Commodore i Vanderbilt, he would have gone into stocks and become a power in Wall street. None of these things, however, moved him. He kept aloof from other attractions. He owns no stocks and no rare book8, and only real estate sufficient for his own use. The horse is his passion, and he has shown the mastery of the latter to* a degree unparalleled in the history of the turf. How strange that a man who began life in this city as a journeyman printer should thus, as Shakespeare says " witch the world with noble horsemanship.'' entrants. The dried fruit which bears this appelI lation is commonly believed to have stolen the uarae from the well-known fruit growing on a bush, the same from which our currant wine is made. But, on the contrary, the latter, as growing in our gardens, has no original right to the name, it was borne by the Grecian i currant or grape Lefore the other was I known by our ancestors. The fruit which constitutes the dried currants of | commerce is really agrane?small,round, sweet and thin-skinned. The grape vine which supplies it flourishes in Grccce and the adjacent islands, especially Znnte, whence the best currants come. Greccc looks to the currant as one of its first, if not the very best, articles of export. Aud Great Britain, more than any other country, would deplore a season of scarcity in Greece, with damage to the currant crop, since the British housekeepers and bakers make great account of this dried grape for cakes, puddings, ctc. What is plum pudding but pudding with these little raisins mixed in it? The grapevine is singular in having so many names for its fruit, according to its condition. It is called grapes when fresh; raisins when large and dried; currants when small aud dried, aud plums when in cake and pudding. Currants arc named from Corinth, the famous city on the Grecian isthmus. This little grape, when fresh, is rarely used for the manufacture of wine, though sometimes it is brought to the press, and product's a sweet, oily wine.?Philadelphia Grocer?' Prir/i (Jurrcnt. A Peculiar Custom. The Cape Verde islands are fourteen in number, and contain ii population of eighty thousand. The manners and customs of the people have remained unchanged for years, which is natural enough, in view of the fact that the ruling principle of their lives is to live without work. A peculiar custom is noted by a recent visitor at the islauds. His hostess was smoking a cigarette, when sudde nly she drew it from her lips .and offered it to him. Though somewhat startled, he accepted it with the best grace he could command, and upon subsequent inquiry found that it was considered among' the islanders one of the greatest compliments a lady could pay to a gentleman. p. .. 'rFARM, GARDEN AND HOUSEHOLD. | Gooseberries and Currant*. Strawberries, raspberries, and even 3 blackberries, are exceedingly perishable fruits. They must be picked when just ripe, require careful transportation, and . if not sold at once, they perish and arc a loss 10 me snipper, aucn iruus uuu be profitably grown only by those who make a business of it, and conform to all their peculiarities. Gooseberries and \ currents, on the other hand, are not so "mifly,'' as gardeners say of certain plants. A farmer can have a plantation of either or both of these, and may often profitably market the fruit not required by the family, One great advantage of these fruits is. they are in demand when green. Gooseberries, indeed, are almost invariably marketed while unripe, and green currants, in city m -rkets, at least, are always in demand. Ripe gooseberries an; hardly known in our markets, but j ripe currants transport readily, and may be sent to market in baskets holding ten pounds, and if not sold the first day, I remain 111 a salable condition for several I ilays after. Gooseberries and currants may be raised by farmers and others, who have not the time to devote to the I more perishable fruits, or who arc too far from market for their safe transportation. They may be planted for supplying the family, and to allow of a surplus that will bring in a little ready money. If a plantation is to be made, it may be done this spring, as soon after the ground can be worked as possible. Good, strong, rich, moist soil is best; if planted in poor soil, let it be well manured. Procure plants irom tne nurseries, and set them in rows four or five feet ajtart, and the same distances apart in the rows. Plants may be had a year old, which will eive some fruit the next year. Do not expect fruit the same.ycar the bushes are planted, and if any bios soms appear, pick tliem oil. ane varieties are numerous. For currants we should select Versailles and white grape. Fay's prolific is true to its name, but being new may cost a little more. For gooseberries, only the American varieties should be planted. Houghton is one of the most reliable; Downing sseedling and Smith's improved are good.

A liberal dressing of wood ashes is said to be beucficia! to cherry trees. In planting an orchard the young trees should be slightly inclined toward the direction of the prevailing winds. All the old orchards lean as the trees were bent while young, and most of these old orchards were set when there was more forest and winds were much less violent than now. To make pigs grow rapidly barley meal is better than com. It is not so chalTv as ground oats, and in England barley with jieas are the standard feeds for fattening hogs. When barley is high there is always more or less light grain which can be better ground for the pigs than for any other use. Dr. Salmon says that a mixture of two ounces of sulphuric ftciti to a twogaiion pail of water will make a disinfectant which is amply sufficient to destroy every germ of chicken cholera that it touches, and that it will accomplish this within a few minutes. Ho says: "Every one who uses this disinfectant intelligently can save his fowls, or at least the greater part of them, even after the disease has made its appearance-in the flock." As the object of root pruning fruit trees is generally to promote fruitfulncss, it is best to do it when the check to growth is greatest, and this is in midsummer or after the trees get into full leaf in the spring. On the other hand, if it is desirable, as it generally is, to cultivate in orchards with the least injury to the trees, it should be early in the spring. New roots put out, and the tree is rather more vigorous than bcfoie, especially when it had previously been in sod. The Neto Enyland Farmer gives the following recipe for grafting wax. Four parts resin, two parts beeswax, and one part tallow. Melt all together iu a kettifi. over a moderate fire, and when well mixed, pour into a cold vessel to harden. I When stiff enough to handle, grease the i hands, and then pull and work tlic wax j until it is white, or amber colored, and even quality throughout. In cold weather i the wax may need warming by working it with the hands, or it may be melted and applied with a brush. Tagging sheep is removing the locks of soiled wool around the hinder parts. It should alvvavs be done to ewes before ; they drop their young, as the lambs may otherwise not be able to lind the teats. 13y removing the tags before turning out to green feed some good wool may be saved that would certainly be rendered worthless by soiling 90 soon as the sheep droppings became watery, as tbey will 011 grass. The wool tags are, however, worth more for the manure heap than to sell at rates which wool dealers can now offer. Taggingshould not be neglected, as the removal of dirty wool is essential to the comfort of the sheep. Hoit?chol<l lCccipc*.

A Hush street barber has recently | added to the interior decorations of his tonsorinl symposium a large owl, whose Solomonic visage assists iu wooing somnolent delights, while the nimble blade is reaping its hirsute harvest. The other day a callow youth whose eyebrows are much more prolific iu their growth than the hair upon his lip, nnd whose intellect is in an inverse ratio to his knowledge of cheap slang, entered the shop and spied the apotheosis of wisdom upon the perch near the chief chair of torture. Deeming it a rare opportunity to be "funny" at the expense of the proprietor, who had recently lost his wife and wassubject to fits of melancholy, the "fresh" young man proceeded to distribute his stock of i "chart" for the delectation of the occupants of the neighboring chairs. "Ilello, Jake, where did y' ketch the bird?" Silence enveloped the shop like a funeral pall, and the barber went on shaving. Nothing daunted, Mr. Fresh moved a little closer to the perch, and after a careful survey thus delivered himself : "Why, the mark that stuffed that chromo couldn't stuff a sausage for me. Git onto them eyes; the're a couple of glass heads poked in there. Pipe the position of him. Who ever seen an owl in thnf. nnqish? ' He paused for a reply, but the painful stillness was only broken by the scraping of the steel, and "Jake" quietly went on shaving. The ease was getting desperate, and the youth saw theneccssity of immediate and decisive action; so advancing toward the bird, with outstretched hand he said, almost plaintively: "Say, Jake, honest., now; get onto the way they've fixed the head of his nibs." Nut the lesson in taxidermy was never concluded, for as the aggressive hand reached the ruffled poll of the big-eyed bird there was a blink, a sweep and a snap, and ' 'Jake's" pet sat quietly munching a small cutlet, which had once been a portion of the youth's manual anatomy. The " trusty Damascus blade " glinted and scintillated, as the barber quietly went on shaving, and the silence was oppressive as the wounded youth started for a drug store, mentally debating whether he had made expenses on the trip.?

At the Kalls of Montmorency, below Quebec, there is a hotel by the roadside where you pay twenty-five cents to a woman who can't talk English and in consideration of this sum you are alio wed to see the falls. A. young fellow paid just as I left the house to walk across the fields to the steps in front of the falls. He came runuing after me. lie bad walked all the way from Quebec? about nine miles?and now his impatience was getting the better of him. "You paid first," he said, "but would you mind ray going down the sicps aneau 01 your' "Not at all," I said. "I guess, though, \ the steps are wide enough for two to go i down."

I don't suppose anyone has been ' here for a month. As we came to the long stairway he ! hopped merrily down, two stairs at a time.

It is rich in nitrogenized substances. and contains twenty-three per j ccnt. of fibrine nnd six of casein. M. Sacc thought that flour irom the seed would be very suitable for pastry and sweets. It is likely to be used in sugar making as a substitute for carbonic acid. ; Still another wonderful use has been found for electricity, Recently electrodes connected with a dynamo of the power of forty ordinary Daniell cells were put into forty five gallons of fresh milk, and in exactly four and one-half minutes the fluid was, as dairymen say, cnurneu, toe butter rising upon the surface. The quantity obtained was fully equal to that procured in the ordinary way, and the quality perfect. M. Follett, a Brooklyn mechanic, has invented a wonderful sewing machine, which, it is claimed, will do eighty per cent, more work than any machine now in the market. An experiment with steam power moved it with a speed of 2,200 stitches in a minute, and was started and stopped instantly. It is simple in construction,is easily operated, and sews all kinds of fabrics, from leather to fine linen. The largest deposits of salt on the Pacific coast are found in Nevada, according to the Scientific American. The most remarkable of these deposits is that on the Rio Virgen, a few miles north of the Colorado river, in the extreme southern corner of that State. A formation occurs at this point consisting of rock salt, resting on, and to some extent intermixed with, a sedimentary granite, and of such magnitude that it may bo said to constitute a notable portion of the mouutain itself.

Foreign workmen at present comprise the larger part of the workers in this industry, out the attention of native workers has been directed to it, with the result of bringing it into general notice. Arseuic in Hosiery. " Wearing colored hosiery develops some peculiar facts," said a dealer on Broadway to a New York Mail and Exprats reporter. " What arc they ?" " Well, it would seem cheap colored stockiugs would be more liable to have poison in their color than the higher priced ones, but the fact is just the reverse. You never hear of poor people being poisoned by wearing cheap colored hosiery. It is only those who wear the best material. It would scarcely pay to put arsenic in a cheap article. A gentlej man bought a pair of colored silk socks. I He wore them once a.nd afterward com! arrifritation and soreness in nla limbs. An investigation revealed the fget that he had been poisoned by tfrCcoTWMt! th??jijyi_aiik'-soek^"'hc "KT>?e. They contained arsonic. I took them back, had them dyed a deep black and they did not poison the wearer after that. Now this fact shows that the finpst hosiorv has more noison in their color than the very cheap kind. When the weather ia warm the cheap colored hosiery runs, and the color gets all over the feet. At night the color is washed off and no harmful effects are felt. When the weather is warm fine colored hosiery runs, but very little. However so little, though, the cffect upon the wearer is deleterious and frequently results in blood poisoning. I cannot say, though, that this is true in every case, but many that I have known | exemplify what I have stated. The poor i people have a wonderful immunity, it ! seems, from poisoning produced in this I manner. If arscnic was used in cheap i hosiery as much as in fine, the hospitals I might be full of patients now, all suffcrI ing from poisoning in the feet and limbs. Of course it is the aim of the manufacturers to have as little arsenic as possible in the coloring they use, but the faintest trace occasionally has a wonderful effect upon some people who have impure blood susceptible to any influence. "Black shades of hosiery seem to be free from poisoning. Of the colors more likely to contain it is red. Dark gray, light straw, deep maroon aud such shades possess less of poisoning than the bright, deadn(l colors like rea, omc, orange, green, violet and garnet. These colors arc always dyed to a black il a hue and cry is made ngainst wealing stockings with poisons in them. Black never injures and contnins no arsenic. ''I must say that I really believe that a small proportion of the colored hosiery used by the general public perhaps may have arsenic in them. 'The greater majority do not, and there is little probability that with all the means of detecting poisons in color any manufacturer will be rash enough to put in enough arsenic to create a panic in hosiery. Chnrch Ales. In the time of Shakespeare, nnd, indeed, for a century or two beforo his day, it appears that the term ale wns synonymous with festival; and henco its occurrence in such phrases as Leet-ale, Whitson-ale, Bride-al^, etc., numerous references to which we meet with in the literature of that period. Thus Chaucer uses it in this sense; and Ben Jonsou, in his''Masque of Queens," makes one of the hags say: "A piper it got at a church ale." Shakepcare also employs the expression in "Pericles:*' "It lias been sung at festivals, On omber eves and holy-ales." As at these festivals ale seems to have been the predominant liquor, it is highly probable that from this circumstance the term took its origin. On such an occasiou, for instance, it was the business of the church wardens to have specially brewed a considerable quantity of strong ale, which was sold to the visitors; a practice which, it is recorded, led to "great pecuniary advantage, for the rich thought it was a meritorious duty, beside paying for their aie, to oiler largely to the church fund." Hence, it was no uncommon thing in some parishes to have several of these ales in the course of the year, and sometimes one or more parishes would agree to hold annually a certain number of them. As an illustration of this usage, we may quote the following curious stipulation, preserved in the Bodleian library: "The parishioners of Elvaston and Okcbrook, in Derbyshire, agree jointly to brew four ales betwixt this (the tune of the contract) and the feast of.St. John Baptist next coming; and that every inhabitant of the said town of Okebrook shall be at the several ales; and every husband and his wife shall pay two pence, and every cottager one penny; and all the inhabitants of Evalston shall have ami nceive all the profits and advantages coining or the said ales, to the use and behoof of the said church of Elvaston."?C/lumber's / 1 uuurmti.

Powell, secretary of the New York State Forestry association, recently organized at Utica: A torrent is a stream liable to extreme and sudden increase and decrease?usually very small or quite dry in a dry time, but liable to rise suddenly i to a great height, and as quickly to shrink to its former size. By the loss of! its once rich forests, tlic Ardeche, a tributary of the Hhouc, became such a torrent, its principal branch often being entirely dry. Jt has been known to rise sixty feet and dwindle back to almost nothing within a few days. The upper | Hudson has apparently nil the conditions | necessary for becoming such a torrent, if j once its forests are exterminated. It descends some 4,000 feet in a short and steep course, from a region where there falls a great deal of rain and snow. Keeping F1ow?m Fresh. All that is necessary to keep flowers, fresh is to keep them moist and cool. Instead of dipping flowers in wnter, they should simply be wrapped up in a wet newspaper, which will keep them : far fresher over night. A wet towel or napkin is too lieavv, and will crush the blooms too much; beside, it would allow : the moisture to evaporate too easily.

Burton to Mrs. Annie Evans, though a quiet affair, was really the acme of one of the prettiest romances in real life, the particulars of which are furnished by a correspondent of the St. Louis Olobe-Democrat: Mrs. Burton, recently Mrs. Evans, nee Annie Tipton, is now but thirty-five, is pretty, petite, ana j>ir. iiurton is ner third husband,and yet her first. Eighteen years ngo Miss Tipton was a student in a Cincinnati school, and while there she met Mr. Burton, then a student in a medical college. Burton was of a good Kentucky family, a raun of fine appearnnce, and he soon won the young girl's heart. By the aid of a mutual friend a license was procured, though the girl was not of age, and they were secretly married. Both continued in school, giving no outward sign of their changed relationship. A few weeks later the young bride was summoned to her home to attend a sick mother. The girl herself was seized with illness, and from letters received during this illness, and from the girl's talk in her delirium the secret of the marriage was obtained. Her parents were ^ greatly angered, and set about to discover means to untie the nuptial knot, and as the girl was not of age at the time of the marriage, and as her parents1 consent had not been obtained, the lirst point was to have her, immediately on coming of age, repudiate the contract. This was accomplished partly by coercion and partly by persuasion. The young man was seen and the terrors of the law were held up to him. Young, inexperienced and fearing the wrath of his parents, who as yet knew nothing of the wedditfg, he consented to a separation and a suit for divorce. The divorce was quietly obtained ?scarcely a score of people knowing anything of the affair. Burton went West, and in the coursc of time Miss Tipton married and came to this place. Thrre years ago her husband died, leaving a comfortable property. A notice of the event, giving the lady's maiden name, drifted, quite by accident, into Burton's hands less than two monthsngo. He had lost sight of his former wife and sweetheart altogether, but had never ceased to love her, and had never J TT? 4-/v if if nfflrfl murricu.

Explanations wero offered on both sides, and, finding that each loved the other, they resolved to marry? The ceremony was performed quietly at the bride's residence, her parents coming a distance to witness it without even a suspicion who Burton was. Other explanations occurred later in the day, and so far as is known no ill-will exists among any of those who have a right to be interested. The Gondoliers of Vcnice. > The Venetian gondoliers are a hardy, active, cheery set of mon, civil and obliging, limbed like Greek statues and graceful as greyhounds.

The costume of a gondolier of the better class would be a handsome one to adopt for a fancy dress ball, since it is very characteristic, and yet simple and sufficiently in accordance with a gentleman's every day suit to be worn without awkwardness. It consists of a loose double-breasted jacket of dark blue cloth with trousers to match. The jacket is closed with two-rows of large, highly-polished brass buttons, and is bound around the edges and around the cuffs and collar and pockets with cloth of a blue, two shades lighter than the hue of the garment itself. A glazed sailor's hat, around the crown of which is passed a ribbon of the ligtiter stiuaes of blue, with long floating cuds, forms the headgear. Sometimes a felt hat, with a melonshaped crown, the brim curving over the brow and at the back of the head, is adopted, but the ribbon is never absent. A sash of cloth, matching the jacketand trousers, and with long ends lin1 ished with wide worsted fringe, is tied around the waist, the ends falling at the left side. Sometimes the jacket is piped with red, or with the same dark blue as the cloth whereof it is composed; but the style I hayc just described is the most usual, and is also the pretties*. It opens at the throat, showing a collar and white necktie, both scrupulously clean, as are also the white cuffs visible beneath the loose sleeves, the linen being coarse in quality, but of snowy whiteness. ?Philadelphia Tehgrayh. Webster's Carelessness of 3Ioney. On another occasion Mr. Webster had invited some friends to dinner. As ho left home in the morning he requested his wife to send John down to the .office about 10 o'clock to go to market with him. John came down accordingly. Mr. Webster was busy writing, lie asked Johu if he had any money. John replied in the negative. "Then," said Mr. Webster, "go down to Mr. Burritt nnrl naif him tn lt>nd mc $5." (Burritt wa9 a stationer in th? lower story.) John came back and stated that Mr. Burritt had not $5, but sent him $10, which Mr. Webster took and put in his waistcoat pocket. Pretty soon a poor woman came in on an alms-asking errand. Said Webster, still writing, ''I know all about it; you've lost your husband and have five small children and nothing to eat. Take this!" and he gave her the ten-dollar note which John had borrowed from Mr. Burritt. By and by he finished his work and remarked to his servant: "Now, John, we'll go to market." Down they went throngh Court and Washington streets and Dock square to the Quincy market, before Faneuil Ilall. Mr. Webster bought of the butchers at the south end of the market what suited him, but made no payments, as he had accounts ?!*L ?? I * rnanKnfl o vnnn.

"True," said the great lawyer, "very true;" and put his hand in his pocket for the money to pay the amount. Finding none, he said to his servant: "John, I thought you gave me some money just now?" "80 I did, sir," said John, "but you gave it to that poor woman who came into the office." "Ah!" said Webster, "so I did, but I had forgotten all about it. Well, John, you must borrow some more money and come down and pay these people; and now we will go home."?JJjsIoii Dwljct. A Family of Giants.
