A crash in the brush on the hill side above him, and a repetition of th frightful scream that sounded almost huma1 in its expression of demoniacal fury, warne Wallace of his perilous situation, and It prepared to face the danger.

The hours slipped rapidly away, and when the train was nearing Lexington, the two exchanged cards, and parted with it cordial shake of the hand. The Governor drove to an inn, and to a number of friends he remarked that the ride had never seemed so short before. "Then you must have had pleasant com pany aboard." "You are right. I met a gentleman of unusual Intelligence. We conversed all the way over. I never was brought in cont act with a more agreeable man." " Indeed I Who was lie ?" asked his friends. "Wait'a minute; I have his card," and the Governor felt in his pocket, and pro duced the bit of pasteboard. 'lis nanme is King." "Not Bob King?" shouted a dozen in one breath. "'Yes, gentlemen, Robert King ; that is the way the card reads," was the reply. A roar of laughter followed. "Why, Governor, Bob King is as dei as a post. IIe was born (leaf and dlmnh !" Nota Fair Deai. Peter Harrison left his home at Erie, Pa., to become a bank cashier in Detroit. Som one in Erie told hm that, thirteen cashier were wanted here at once, and lhe came oi as fast as conductors on freight traint would permit him.

The Avenging Avalnchte. On the 2d day of May three parties o Italians, consisting in all of thirty-two per~ sons left the Hospice on the Sinmploni t< cross the mountain and by oiie in the after noon arrived at Refuge 6, where they rest. ed for a little, as the snow was comning down with increasing force and density. Two sturdy Swiss youths attached to thi Refuge offered to cotnduct the travelers, an< off three companios set once more, with their two guides at their head. Scarelhy, however, had they emerged from the mid. dIe gallery called La Vieille Galerle-th( most dangerous part of thme Simiphon rout< -when an enormous avalanche descendec from the mountain, carrying with it thi< two guides and an Italian workman wh<~ walked beside them. Thme rest of the trav, elors 'who remaimed in the gallery were s< far safe, but they soon saw the terrible proe dlcamcat they were in, no longer able t< advance or retrace their steps, as both enudi of the gallei-y wore blocked up with snow. * They were In despair, and already the cok was beginning to tell on the children of thu party, and ceues of misery resounded through .the living tomb. Suddenly a man's voici rose above the wailing: "We might as weol did under an avalanche as under a gallery Let nosr and get out." And so withou in ex4 ngapa -ethrough tho snow and arr ed ~Ofdead at Refuge 0, whenc4 thealarnt rpassed. en' to the Hoeplee By tml tim $tas half-past seven In th< 0votmig. Th *ohks attached to the lios - pio lost no tine in repairing to thme scent of disaster, and, with the ald of two serv'ant 'I* of Refuge 0, they succeeded about half-pasi nine, two hours after they had set out, it saving the Inmates of the gallery, and no. I commodating them comfortably at the IIos" t pice, leaving a few whose strength couk e carry them no further at the refuge. Tht r names of the monks, wno with such hero, ,1 isn and success came to the rescue of thir" ,t ty-two Italians, tire-the Rev. Angelo Car i ron, prior of the Hospice ; and the Revs. J Eugenie Carron, Valentino Rausis, and In a nocente Fellay. Tle three companies 0 ;1 travelers having been settled for the night., the monks were anxious to return, and d( :1 what could be done for the two guides am! their companion who had been carried away by the avalanche ; but, considering the dark ness, and the constant succession of ava . lanche that were thundering at short inter - vals over the precipices, they reluctantly e abandoned $lhe attempt. The Prior wait i still in doubt na to how many, or how few, I had disappeared with the guides, some of e the survivors saying that. four, some that s three, some that two of their number werc e missing, when next mornin, lie addressed I the heads of the three companies, and by dint of patient interrogatories. nut to enca of thbim separately, he satisfied himself that only one Italian had joined the guides-onc i Maurizio Uccelli, from the neighborhood of Intra, on the lago Maggiore, the father of I five children, the eldest of whom is a pri L vate in the Italian army. Every effort was - made to rescue this mnan, but in vain ; and his body will not be found till the melting of the snows have left it stranded some I where. One of the two guides, a youth 1 named llatter, quite an athlete in strength and nimbleness, managed, as he rolled down with the avalanche, to keel) his alpenstock in his hand, al( when lhe cane to i dead stop the felt that the point of his stick just I protruded from the surface of the snow above him. Working away with what strength remained to him lie succeeded, after some three hours, in extricating hin self from the avalanche, but there his pow era failed him, and he was only able to call for help across the silent snow. Fortunate ly his cries reached the Refuge, and its inmate, with a servant of the IIospice, who had stopped at the Refuge on his way to the llospicu with provisions, set out, in the direction of the guide. But they had not walked flive minutes when an imnmensq ava lanche hurled them to the foot of the moun tain. The inmate of the Refuge perished, leaving a young widow and a two-year-old boy. 'I'lle servant of the Hospice, however, escaped ; though, when rolling with the avalanche, he thought he would have died every minute from the snow and earth that found its way into his mouth, and was like to choke him. le succeeded in turning on his face, and in so relieving himself of the 11ta'neuise bocecie, till the avalanche hav ing sopped, lhe disengaged himself fromi the snow, and after severe efforts regained the Refuge in a fainting state about two in the morning. During that terrible night lhe said the roar of the descending avalanches was deafening. Ettreso M r. Delmomeo, talking about entrees, says that Americans ought to copy "the French method of utilizing small bits of raw ment and fowls, and re-cooking all kinds of cold joins and pieces of cooked meat which remain, day by day, from every dlin ner in ahnost. every family. The success of such dishes depends mainly on the sauce, which is best ma(e from broth. The fol lowing is his receipe for a favorite sauce: "Take an ounce of ham or bacon, cut it up in small pieces, and fry in hot fat. Ald an onion and carrot., cut up, thicken with flour, then add a pint or quart of broth, ne cording to quantity desired, season with pepper and salt, and any spice or herb that is relished (better without the spice) and let simmer for an hour, skim carefully, and let strain. A wineglass of any wine may be added, If liked." Cold1 roast or breiled beef or mutton may be cut into small squaires, fried brown in butter, and then gently stewed1 In the sauce ab)ove dlescribed. Mr. D)ehnonico dlescribues croqulet.tes as5 the attractive French substitute for American hash, and tells ho0w to imatke them: "Yeal, nimtton, hanmb, sweetbreads, ailmost any of thle lighter meats, besides coldl chicken and turkey, can be most dleliciouIsly turnied in to croquettes. Chop the meat very fine. (Chop upi an 01nion, fry It in ain ounce of butter, add a teaspoonful of flour. Stir well, and then add thle chopped nieat and( a little broth, salt, p)epp)er, little nutmeg.

African Jewels. Some remarkable jewels and orna ments have been sent to King Humber from the King of Solo, in Africa, b; the hands of the explorers who hv been sent thither by the geographies society. An eastern paper gives an in terosting description of the collection The king has presented them to th Ethnographical Museum, which is Ii process of formation in the Collegli Romano, under the care of the loarneo and eloquent Professor Iuigi Pigorini The bracelet sent by King Menelik is i wonderful production to come out o1 the heart of Africa. It is of silver an fifteen centimetres wide. It is orna mented with truncated cones and witi filagree work in gold, studs of silve: and filagree roses with red glass se in. A silver belt with places for car tridges, ornamented with filagre worl and red glass is not less beautiful that upon the bracelet. Two complete set of trappings for horses are richly or namentecd with curious figures in all ver gilt. The ground of one of thes( covers for the king's mule is blue vel vet, and a fringe of fine chains an< small silver bells surround it, whicl when the animal moves produce i tinkling music. The other trapping ii red leather, and instead of the filagrei work, is substituted green leather with holes cut in it, through which ar( seen plates of gold. Two rich collar for mules, one of brass and the othe of silver, and two mantels of leopar( and panther skins, form part of th( gift. These objects will give a nov notion of the cultivation of those peo ple. I)rlid Figs of Commerce. Tie first fig orchard I saw was fifty miles from Smyrna, near the ancien city of Ephesus. This was on rich al. luvial ground near the sea level, an beyond this for many miles in a naroN valley the trees extend. The Niles on either hand are of limestone. The cli mate there is similar to that of Sat Bernardino with about the sam amount of rainfall. There is no rai from April to November, and last yeai there was no rainfall up to the first o: December, The trees are plantet about forty feet apart, although tw< trees are planted together. The reasot given for this was in case one shoulk fall to grow or die, the other would in. sure a tree. These are all female of pistilate trees. The natives regard tih staminate trees as wild figs, and ari only suffered to grow around ston walls and waste places. No irrigatior is used. Only the fruits grown in th( months of July, August and Septembei are preserved. The first crop is used al fresh figs or allowed to go to waste a not being sweet enough to preserve About the 1st of July cralldren gathei the green fruit from the staminate of wild trees, and two or three are fas tened to each end of a string abou three feet long, and three or four o: these strings are thrown into each tree where they lodge in the branches Without this, they say, the fruit wil not come to perfection, but drop inmma ture. Th'ie fig is allowed to hang upon th tree until it fails spontaneously; it la then gathered from the ground an< laid in the sun until it has the dough) feceling whmeh distinguishes the fruil whlien pnked ; it is then placed in boxei and sent to Smynna, where it is sorted into grades and packed in boxes. Ii packing, the packer has near him dish of sea water, with which he keept his fingers wet. These are the practica facts. It is well known to botanisti that the flowers of the fig tree are in drupe (that becomes the fig); that the staminate flowers and the pistilate onel are on (difl erent trees ; that tihe fertiliza. tion is effected by insects 11ying fron one to another and entering at th4 small opening at the top of this drupe carrying the pollen of the one to thi pistils of the other. 'This may be eff'ectect by planting a few of the stami mate trees among the others; though they will not bear fruit their vicinity is ne'3essary to enable the others to d< so. .?he Smyrna fig is a large greenial yellow fruIt, and wvhen suffered to re main on the tree until it falls spontan cons1y, very' sweet. If it ripens tot early, before the sun has become po0w erful enough, It dries hnrdl and tough like tihe figs usually seen in California I have seen the blue fig grown am cured on one of the islands of the Ore clan Archipelago as soft and sweet a those of Smyrna. If the developmen of sugar is sufliciemit, the fig wvill no dry hard, cxcep)t it be -exposed to< long to a hot sun. If they are remove< too soon before the water has beom sufilciently evaporated they will turn sooner. Francis Joseph of Austria at Home.
