I had been six years a surgeon in the navy, and fer the last two of these six years I had been cruising on that dread ful Gold Coast. Perhaps I was not the best tempered man in the service, but I thought I was badly treated. The Ad miralty and I had a slight disagreement, and the end was that I threw up my commission in disgust, My health was much broKen,ami while I was recruiting my strength in a little Devon village, I did the one thing which I have never regretted, fell in love with a good girl and married her. I had a certain amount of money, which I invested in a country practice; and for sometime all went well with us. Rut we were uot to escape our shore of trouble. My health, which had suf fered more seriously tliaii I imagined during my period of service, broke down; lhy practice went to the dogs; we got deeply into debt, and, to make a loug story short, three years after my mar riage, one miseruble Sunday in Novem ber, I found my wife and myself, with our two little children occupying a single poor room in Greenville street off Guild ford street. We had then beeu in London about six months, and I had been unable—chiefly on account of my precarious health —to get anything to do. Al>out a month, however, betore the day I sjieak of, my only friend in Loudon had held out a hope of obtaining for me the post of pri vate physician to a wealthy relative. But my friend had been compelled sud denly to go abroad, and though lie was daily expected back, yet three weeks had now passed, and 1 had gone to his home iu Kensington day after day with out any tidings of him. Meanwhile our little stock of money was quite exhausted; everything that can be spared was sold or pawned; aud on this Sunday evening, with a mouth's rent due next "day, my wife and 1 sat lie fore a miserable apology for a tire, with absolute want staring us in the face. We had not quite a shilling left, and when I looked at my sleeping children and thought of the future. I fairly broke down in utter despair. It was then I found what a treasure I had in the noble woman by my side. Affecting a cheer fulness wiiich she could not feel,she im parted to me a portion of her own cour age, and at length induced me —anxious to pleive her, and glad to do anything rather thap sit powerless—to go once to my friend's house. It was ten o'clock, on a cold drizzling night, when I sat out on my walk. 1 somehow felt a kind of fictitious hope fulness and walked briskiy, resolutely shutting out the thought of failure I stood some time at my friend's door be foie I dared to ring the bell that would change my hopes or my fears into cer tainty; and when at last the servant who answered my ring told me that her mas ter had not yet returned, I fairly slag gered into a chair in the liail, overcome with disappointment. The woman, seeing my condition, brought me a little brandy, which re vived me somewhat; but it was some time before I felt able to move, and it struck midnight as I left the door for my long and cheerless walk. The rain fell in a steady drizzle, but though I was lightly clad I never heeded it; my thoughts were fixed on my poor wife sitting alone and watching for me, and en the wretched news I was bringing her. I walked on, heedless of the bitter cold and of the constant rain, fe ling the numbness of misery in my heart. How it happened I do not know, but somehow I lost my way, and after wan deriug aimlessly for some time, I found that I was in a street that i did not know —the Gray's Inn Road, as I after ward learned. I could see no oue to direct me, and was walking on rather anxiously when I stumbled over the form of a man, who was lying half out of the covered entrance of a wretched court. For a few yards 1 walked, too absorbed in my own troubles to tliink of aught else; but then, thank God, I thought of the unfortunate man I 3 ing in the rain, and as a doctor, felt, perhaps more strongly than 1 otherwise should, that it was my duty to go back and assist him if possible. There was a gas-lamp in the entrance to the court, and bv it I was enabled to see that the prostrate fig ure was that of a singularly tall aud powerfully built man; and on a closer inspection I was surprised to find that his dress was that of a gentleman. At once I though that he had been robbed and perhaps murdered; but, taking his hand to feel his pulse, I saw that he had a remarkably handsome diamond ring on his finger, and the beating of his pulse though very faint showed me that he was not. Then I thought with something of contempt, that I had a case of mere drunkenness to deal with; but yet 011 careful examination i could detect no fume of spirits, and the faint action of his heart at length convinced me that the man was in a state of complete ex haustion, probably from want of food, With considerable labor, in my weak condition, I managed—half lifting, half dragging him—to convey him into the covered passage, and determined to stay with him until some passer-by would assist me. I had not waited long when a half-tipsy woman, walking past, look ed into the passage and came over to see what was the matter. She looked keenly at me and at my unconscious patient, and I noticed her eye gleamed as ■he caught sight of a massive gr Id chain on his vest, I I asked her to go at onoe and fetch &s MILLHEIM.

I'll get him home nil right." At tirst her assurance almost imposed upon me, but when 1 looked at the pale, aristocratic face that I supported on my knee, 1 felt convinced that she had in vented the story with a view to plunder ing the helpless man. 1 tdlk here sternly that if she did not go for a policeman I would do so myself. She went oil' hurriedly—as I thought tor that purpose—but came back no more; aud now 1 was once more alone with mv strange patient, and as the minutes went by I knew uot what to do. Help, however, was near. I noticed a poor gfrl—she did not look mere than sixteen —walking slowly on the other side of tlio street; I called to her, and after a moment's hesitat ition she came over. I briefly explained to her the cir cuuistauces, and asked her, if she pessi bly could, to get me a drop of cordial, or the man would die. ••1 have only got fourpence," she said, in a kindly Irish voice, "and I was going to pay for my bed with tiiatat the kitchen in Fill wood's Rents; but, sure I'll get something from the ohemist's instead, and I'll trust to God for a night's lodging—l've slept out before now." And away she went—surely uot the worst of Good Sumantaus. Very soon she returned with the medicine, and I sent her again to fetch a policeman. I forced a little between the man's teeth,aud presently he came to and opened his eyes. I asked him hw he came there; he said: "Tired and starv ing." Aud then 1 asked him win ro he came from, and lie suddenly brightened up, and looking at me keenly for a mo ment, said, •'Edinburgh," but from the way he said it I felt convinced he was deceiving me, and shortly after asked the same question again, and he, with the same look, said, "Glasgow." In his weak state, however, I forliore questioning him further, and a police man coining up, we got him in a cab and took him to the hospital, where I waited until lie was put in bed. Before I left I asked the house surgeon to give a shilling to the poor girl—Mary Kennedy was her name. He readily did so, and she went off to sleep in "Old Walter's" lodging-house iu Fulwood s Rents When at last 1 got home, I found my wife waiting anxiously for me. How ever, when I told my story she forgave the delay, and in talking over the strange circumstances of the mglit we forgot foi the time our own troubles. My wife in sisted that something good would come of the matter, aud at eight o'clock next morning she roused me and made me set off for the hospital. As I was on my way there, my eye was caught by the fallowing advertisement on a boarding: "ONE HUNDRED POUNDS REWARD. —A Gentleman of unsound mind has escaped from the M Private Asylum. The above rewiml will be paid to any person finding him and restoring him to his friends." Then followed a description which ex actly tallied with the appearance of my patient. Everything was now clear to me, and I fairly ran to the hospital. Here, however, my hojies were damp ed, for I found that Policeman Z had gone there before me and told a story very different from the true one which I have nariated, and had actually gone the lcDgtli of warning the authorities against me. The solicitor whose address was given in the advertisement had been sent for, and the worthy constable had evidently determined to brazen it out and secure the £IOO. I saw the house surgeon, and told him the whole story. He thought for a few moments,and then said : "We must get the girl at once." I went myself immediately to the wretched den where she had stopjied, and brought her back with me. A very short examination before the solicitor settled Policeman Z's case; and an hour afterward I was able to go back to my wife with more money in my pocket than I had had for many a loi g day, But that was not the best of it. I visited my patient—who was no other than the wealthy baronet, Sir Charles Frampton—every day. He was perfectly harmless, and after residing abroad with us for a couple of years, he so far recovered that he was enabled to dispense with mv services, and to manage his own affairs. He showed his gratitude, however, in most princely fashion; settled an annuity op poor Mary Kennedy (she had previously been liberally rewarded by his friends), and bought for me the practice which J still hold. From that day every thing has pros pered with me, and I am now rich enougli to leave the work to my oldest son, and amuse myself in writing some of the curious incidents of my life, not the least Btrange of which is the provi dential occurrence in Gr long been ac customed converted into a hardened offender against the laws was so genuine that he was released and allowed to re turn to his duties. Cooking in Gvriuuiiy. I doubt whether the mysteries of Ger man cooking are comprehensible to the Anglo-Saxon mind, permanently endur able l>y the Anglo Saxon stomach. In order to obtain that pieoeo! mind which is absolutely necessary to aid the digea tiou of the compouuds which daily como upon the table, one must not. seek to comprehend. Is there not a close relationship be tween the methods of cooking of a peo ple and their iateilectual and moral de velopment? Cannot the positive, prac tical directness of the Anglo-Saxon mind be connected with their plain, succu lent, unmistakable roast aud chops? —or the grace aud asthetic sense of the French referred to their delicate ragouts and sauces?—and the cloudy self-evolv ing philosophies oi the Germans to their incomprehensible mixture of fish, tlesh, fruit and vegetable#? Or would a closer analysis show that the reverse process works out food preparation from innate characteristics? The fundamental principle of German cooking is to mix as many incongruous things as possible. My countrymen have a special talent, recognized the woild over, for inventing mixed drinks but their combinations pale before those of the Germaus in mixed cooking. That oompouud which is so toothsome to a German, a herring salad, is eouoocted from sixteen different articles. A Ger mau beefsteak is made of hashed meets, rolled in a ball and fried* What they call roast is a chuck of meet boiled a while and then baked; it usually looks like a lump of iudia rubber. With the meats is always served a compote, made of stewed or preserved fruits. The vege tables are deemed at their best when they are floating in grease. Sausage, however, is the great national delicacy. It is producetl in great varieties of size and quality; anil the sausage siiops of Berlin are the mast elegant in the city. The Germau family table, with its mys terious and abominations, is the sever est which the American has to undergo who submits himself to the domestic life of the country. My estimable landlady modified her cuhnaiy practices somewhat to suit my faucies; yet six mouths of effort failed to reconcile me to the strange diet. 1 havo met with a few Americans in Germany, a long time there, who first endured, then finally embraced the execrable cookery; but as one might suspect,they have in a degree liecome denationalized. In Berlin, however, one is not obliged to suffer this daily martyrdom; there are a few g-K)d restaurants, where one can fare sumptuously and in a civilized way. Church Fair*. It was a church fiiir.and he had come there at a special request of his "cou sin," who was at the head of the flower table. He opened the door bashlully, and stood hat in hand, looking at the brilliant scene before him, when a young lady rushed up, and grabbing him by the arm, said: "Oh, you must, you will take a chance in our cake. Come right ovir here. This way." Blushing to the roots of his hair, he stammered out that "really he didn't have the pleasure of knowing—" "Oh, that's all right," said the young lady. "You'll know me better before you leave. I'm one of the managers, you understand. Come, the cake will all be lakeu if you don't hurry.'' She almost dragged him over to one of the middle tables, and then said: "There, now, only fifty cents for a slice, and ychi may get a real gold ling. You had better take three or four slices. It will increase your chances you know." "You're verv good," he stammered, "but I'm not fond of cake—that is, 1 haven't any use for the ring—I—I" "Ah, that will be ever so nice," said the youug lady, "for now if you get the ring, you can give it back, and we'll put it in another cake." "Y-e-s," said the young man with a sickly smile, "to be sure, but, but—" ' Oh, there isn't any 'but' about it." said the young lady smiling sweetly. "You know you promised ?" / "Promised !" "Well, no, not exactly that, but you will take just one slice ?" and she looked her soul into his eyes. "Well, I suppose—" • "To be sure. To be sure. There is your cake" and she slipped a great .slice into his delicately gloved hands as he handed her a dollar bill. "Oh, that is too nice," added the young lady, as she swiftly slapped an other li< e of cake on top of the one he was holding in his hand. "I knew you would take two chances;"' and his dollar biil disappeared across the table, and then she called to a companion: "Oh, Miss Larkins, here is a gentle man who wishes to have his fortune told." "Oh, does he? Send him right over," answered Miss Larkins. "I beg your pardon, but I'm afraid you are mistaken. 1 don't remember saying anything about—" "Oh, but you will," said the first yoang lady, tugging at the youth's arm. 'lts for the good of the cause, and you won't refuse—will you?" and once more the beautiful eyes looked soulfully into his. Ho was soon, but quite aguiust his will, at the "fortune teller's table. "Here we are!" Miss Larkins bluntly blurted out, as she thrust ail envelope towards him. "That'll tell you all aliout it," He took it and opened it hesitating ly; Miss Larkins turned liim around to the light and he read; "You are going to be married iu a year!" "Oh, isn't that jolly! And all that good news for seventy five cents?" And the poor youth oame down with another dollar note,which Miss I arkins instantly crumpled up and stuffed into her pooket, remarking nonchalantly, but in quite a business way to the wait ing young man—"No change here you know." "Oh, come, lot's try our weight," said the first young lady, once more tugging at the bashful youth's coat sleeve, and before he knew where he was, he was standing on the platform of the scales. "One hundred and thirty-two," said the lady. "Oh, how I should like to be a great heavy man like you," and she stepped on the scales as lightly as a bird. "One hundred and eighteen," she called out. "Well, that is light. One dollar please!" "What!" said the youth, "Ouedollar! su't that pretty steep? I mean—" "Oil! butynu know," said the youDg lady, "it is for charity;" and another dollar was added to the treasury of the fair. • I think I'll have to go. I have an engagement at ' "Oh! but first you must buy me a bouquet, fwr taking yon all around," said the lady. "Right over here,' and A few steps brought them iu front of the flower table. "Here is just what I want," and the young lady picked up a basket of roses and violets. ' 'Seven dollars, please." "Oh, Jack, is that you?" cried the poor youth's cousin, from behind the flower counter, "and buying flowers for Miss Gaggle, too? Oh, I shall be ter ribly jealous uuless you buy me a bask et, too," and she picked up an elaborate affuir. "Twelve dollars please, Jack," and the youth put down the money looking terribly confused, as much as though he didn't know whether to make a bolt for the door, and give up all hope and set tle down in despair. "You'll excuse me, Indies," he stam mered, "but I must go. lhave—" "Here, let me pin this in your button hole." interrupted his cousin. "Fifty cents, please,", and the youth broke away and made a straight line for the door. "Well, if I ever visit another fair may I be—be- he ejaculated, as he coun ted over his cash to see if he had the car fare to ride home. Win*t the Cilrls Should Learn, By all means let the girls learn Low to cook. Wiiat right has a girl to marry and go into a house of her owu unless she knows how to superintend every branch of housekeeping, and she cannot properly superintend unless she has some practical knowledge of herself. Most men mairy without thinking whether the woman of liis choice is capable of cooking him a meal,and it is a pity he is so shortsighted,and bis health, his cheerfulness, and indeed his success in life depends in a very great degree upon the kind of food he eats; in fact, the whole household is influenced by their diet. Feed them on fried cakes, fried meats, hot bread, and other indi gestible viands, day after day, and they will need medicine to make them well. A man will take alcohol to counteract the evil effects of such food, aud the wife and children mut be physicked. Let all the girL have a share in the housekeeping at homo before they marry; let each superintend some department by turns. It need not occupy half the time to see that the house has been properly swept,dusted and put in order, or to prepare puddings and make dishes, that many young ladies speud in reading novels that enervate both mind and body aud unfit them for every-day life. Women do not, as a general rule, get pale faees by doiug housework. Their sedentary habits, in overheated rooms, combined with ill-chosen food, are to blame for their bad health. Our mothers used to pride themseves on their house keeping and fine needle work. Why should not we? Lacustrine Kellc*. Recently further finds of lacustrine relics have occured at Steckborn, on Lake Constance. Among them are two vases in perfect condition, quartzite or naments, carved boars' teeth arrows, and other weapons. A new lacustrine station lias been discovered at Arbon,iu the same neighborhood; but except the piles on which the houses were built, no relics of importance have come to light. On the other hand, the sinking of the lake has laid bare the foundation of a Roman watch tower and the paved road that connected it with the mainland, a circumstance from which it is inferred that the level of Lake Comstance is now considerably higher than it was 1,600 or 1,800 years ago. The watch-tower, paved way, and lacustrine station are all near the landing-place at Arbon. At another lacustrine village near Boer hauson a number of relics rimilar to those collected at Steckborn kaye been found. Claret. The phylloxera has desolated the Gi ronde,and has not left unscarred French vineyards elsewhere. Freuch vines have been yielding little liquor and bad. Wine drinkers are scarcely conscious of the disaster. They are resolved to have their claret, and Bordeaux is too cour teous not to gratify them. Xeres sends full hogsheads of sherry. Oporto sup plies its natural port. Zaute contri butes its currants, and Crete its malm sey. Australia itself heljw to fill up the void which the malignant blight has created. Sherry, port, malvoisie, Christmas currant", broglio, and Marsa la, all flow into hospitable Bordeaux, rough aud smooth, sweet and sour; they issue from it veritabble claret, and are bought and imbibed with undoubted faith by the unsuspicious. Much of the pleasure which English men have enjoyed in drinking claret has been derived from tbe belief that they were drinking a wine absolutely pure. Port and sherry and champagne are manufactured. Claret and Burgundy have been supposed to be the mere juioe of the grapes of the vineyards in the vicinity in which they are made. In one sense all wine is a manufacture, and a very elaborate manufacture. It may, however, manufacture itself, and this is what Bordeaux and Burgundy have been credited with doing. In reality, they have at all times been liable to a certain amount oi composition. The stronger wince of the Rhone have for ages been blended with the weaker vintages of the Garonne. An occasional practioe has, through the devastations of the recent ■pest, been oonverted into a settled habit. Bordeaux, to judge from the sta tistics of its importation of alien materi als, would seem to have been for several years past in process of transformation from a manufactory of French wine into a laboratory for the introduction into wines from every part of the world of a French flavor and French qualities. So long as only grape juice is borrowed for the mixture the counterfeit is com paratively innocent. The danger is that chemical ingenuity, when Levant cur rants fail or the price of Spanish, and Italian and Portuguese grapes rises, may dispense with grapes altogether. A Hoy's Oituiff of Circuit. Not long ago, an old woman named Lutetia Perkins, residing at Maoon, locked up her two grandchildren, one a boy about tea and a little girl about three vers of age. The children were locked up in the house, but the window Vas opened, out of which they looked upon a frightful sight. In the adjoining lot lives Sol Clemens and wife. In this yard from the limb of a tree ts suspend ed a single rope, at the end of which is a large knot, and the boys used this to swing upon. Aunt Lutetia had in her employ boy named John Henry Cal vin. • He went to the house, and then into the next lot where hung the swing, and told the children who were watching from the window that he was going to play circus. After swinging awhile in the usual way, he got upon a piece of scantling that was laid upon the fenee and the tree, aud then put the rope, aronnd his neck. Having done this he told the children that he was going to play circus and hang himself off, The children saw his convulsions, but could not get to him, and could not have help ed in any way, as they were too smalL though they might have called assis tance. Aunt Lutetia returned from the fun eral about half-past four o'clock. As soon as the children saw her from the window they called to her to hurry up, as John had hung himself. She repair ed at once to the swing,but the boy had been dead some time. The boy evi dently miscalculated the distance when he swung off, He was found in a sitting posture, his feet touching the ground and kis body about six inches from it. CorNtß or No Corsets. Fred Treves of London who has paid great attention to the matter of ladies costume says the notion that women need the support of stays is an entirely erroneous one; nevertheless, the eye of the present generation is so accustomed to the sight of the female form as it ap pears in stays that a woman who dis penses with this adjunct of the toilet is sure to be curiously commented on. Our favorite contralto, Madame Antoinette Stirling, prides herself on the fact that she has never worn stays and never will do so; but I suppose she is unaware of the remarks which her appearance some times calls forth in a miscellaneous au dience. Often I have heard the ques tion pass from lip to lip in a concert hall where she was singing: "What a fright ful figure she has!" "How badly her dress fits!" And these remarks come from men as well as women. Ellen Teriy dis penses with stays and all her gowns in Juliet are mere shapeless wrappers of different degrees of splendor. But Ellen Terry has the figure of a slim girl of thirteen bust less, high shouldered, square-wais ted; in fact, that of the model sthete, Fred Treves says no woman could live an instant if her waist were no bigger than th.*e represented in the French fashion plates; but there is an actress Kate Vaiighan, whose waist is for thinness a sight to behold. Jt is so small, round column, like a section of little store pipe, and it seems not very much bigger than her own neck. Yet Kate Vaughan lives, danoes, sings and turns the heads of her crutch-and toothpick adorers. All sorts of makers of hygienic ap parel put in a commercial appearance at the Health Exhibition. A staymaker exhibits corsets whose entire front is elastic webbing, wluoh yields at every movement and only expands the more witjb lacing. It was especially designed for the use of women during a season when tight lacing would be more than injudicious,it would take the proportions of a crime. But there is no time when w >men might not use with advantage stays thus fashioned. The simple truth is that very frequently women are over laced when they really do not know it. The internal organs are so easily com pressible that, as Mr. Treves said, a wo men who has not the slightest idea or intention of tight lacing, may be unduly compressed by a matter of two inches, while a really tightly-laced woman re duces her moral waist-size some eight or ten. The diagrams hanging around the walls of the room in which the exhibi tion is held show the female form divine as it should be, with the size and loca tion of the interior organs distinctly de lined. These pictures must give the nightmare to some of the fashionable girls and woman who attend the exhibi tion. Nevertheless must I alas confess that, to the eye of the modem, the ladies so attired at present a dainty frou-frou appearance with which those habited in the new hygienic apparatus sadly contrast. It is this quality of con cealing defects and exaggerating beau ties in the wearer which forms the stronghold of modern fashionable attire. A New Submarine Teasel. A young Roumanian engineer, M. Trajan Theodoresco, has constructed a submarine vessel which quite puts al that has been made hitherto in the shade. The ship, if it does not exceed certain dimensions, can be levigated for twelve hours at 100 feet under water without being raised to the surface. The working at the surface is similar to that of an ordinary steamship. The speed is not so great as that of some steamers, but it is. nevertheless superior to that of sail boats. The immersion is effected by screws. Once under water, enough light is supplied to be able to see obstacles at a distance of one hundred and thirty feet, and the movement is so regulated as to avoid them. The supply of air for tke crew will last twelve hours, and can be renewed without coming to the surface by means of telescopic tubes. The propulsion and immersion are ar ranged to cause no noise. If all these claimed advantages are continued in practice, the new vessel will be a most formidable submarine offensive weapon. But it car also be used for more profita ble purposes. In the Matchin Canal near Bralia. there has lain since May, 1877, the wreck of Lutfi Djeit, on board of which was the ooffer of the Turkish Flotilla cn the Danube, contain • Lug the treasure of the fleet, whioh it will perhaps be possible to recover by means of the new submarine boat. -*u*tioe Lat-e but Sure. Socrates was a stonecutter by trade, but too lazy to follow so honest a calling. He loved to talk too well, and spent his lime lounging on street corners and gather ing young men as idle as himself around liirn. llis personal appearance was dis gusting in the extreme, and one has but to gaze upon the Louvre cast in the gallery of which we are so justly proud, to straightway sympathize with poor, abused Xsntippe. He had a flat nose, thick hps prominent eyes, low, broad figure, and awkward gait, went barefooted and half clad, was a bitter euemj to clean]mess, and a mountebank in manners. He married a woman to whom he was attracted by her singular conversational powers, and although he believed he himself excelled all his contemporaries in that respect, yet, he lound that she far excelled him iu the command of language. He cared nothing for the welfare of his wife or children, left them to cupp >rt themselves as best they might, while he spent the time he could spare from the curbstone seances, and wasted the treasures of his ihought at the feet of Aspaiia aud Theo dote, whom he pretended to desire to con vert, that he might thereby add lustre to his own name—sly old dog—and in addi tion to all this, he would jnvite the lazy crea'ures who surrounded him to diue with him when there was nothing in the house to entertain them with. It is natural that this would be very ir ritating to a proud-spirited woman who was struggling for herself and little ones. What woman in existence could have borne her soul in patience uuder such pro vocation ? Three DogF* Those about the White House say that wheo Hayes was President, a strange, lean, gray dog stood waicli at taa house both day and night, and could not be driven away. That when Garfield became Presi dent, a yellow terrier put in an appearance, the Hayes dog disappearing. The yellow dog was first seen on the day of inaugura tion.
