A TOUJH OF THE GOUT.
-
When Sydenham, our fnilicr of medicine, dis
(ontsed of goat, and felt in liii own toe as he
vrrofe, he foaad one poor comfort In tho fact
"that gout, nnllke any other eliseae, kills more
rich men than poor, more wise than simple.
Orcat king", cmpcrori, generals, admirals, and
philosopher, have all died of gout. Hereby
nature ihows h.T Impartinlity, since thoo
ethom he furors in 0110 way a she afllirts in an
ollier." It is always the rich nncle or father In
the farce, or the king lu tho buries.itio, or tho
leading statesman In piirllnuicnl, who limps with
Koutyleg; und, until .f laic years, when gout
Las become rather common among the poor,
there has luen a scne that g.utt
at any rate, a respectable eliscito to have.
FavnBos nrv. r hare it. There ' an be no doubt that
it is otic of the fruits of civillalijn, and a Tory
early fruit. Uout troubled the old p-cntli tniti who
tat in ti.e Arcri) aiiui, and they hud it in all firms.
Their physicians called it a foot scU'irc (puila
gru)bin it Kied the foot, a hand seizure
(i hiiara) whi n it look its virlim by the hand, or
gunagu if It Inched the kt.ee, or aniirltis, if it in
I unied several joints. It tirt called gout at
tlio snd of the thirteenth century, from the Latin
for n drop, because it was supposed to b c iiiicd
by a humor distilled drop by drop into the joints.
Keneca counted it among the sinns of Itoiuan de
ginenitioti in luxury th it een the w nn' n go
tbtir r quiil Minre of gout; gout being a disease
rare In women, and, when it d.v occur, occur
ring in them usual y when they are adva iced in
lite. 1 he disease, said a doctor of Galen's limn,
is one that "none but the gods can truly under
stnntl" its coming ami going ; and that the doctor
b id the case of a g my inin, who, in an Interval
of his disorder, won a foot-race at the Olympic
games. In mu. h later time tho appearance of
the chalk-stones formed in gouty joints, combined
with knowledge of one cause of gont to suggest
the theory, that they were deposits of the tartar
ol wine. 1 1 was crusty port renting its cm-tlxes
cpon its Menus.
riupposc that a man who considers himself
o,nite healthy is to bare- his iirst attack of gout,
lie goes to bed happy, and Is awakened after a
few hours' sleep, usually betwieo one and four in
the morning, with pain in the ball of ono great
toe, which increases with a sense of burning and
throbbing, and he finds the next morning that his
toe is swollen with a deep red shining skin.
Moreover, It is so exquisitely tender, that during
the height of the at ack he cannot he ir the
Weight ol the bed-clothes or the shaking of the bed
by footsteps in the room. There are a series of
such attacks. Then the swelling abates. In a
few days the skin iteht and peels off, and there
is In the joint coly some little remaining ten
derness. That is the form of a brisk attack in a
man otherwise healthy. Uout hits a partiality
for gnawing at a man's gicat toe. Of Hvu
hundred and sixteen cases of gout observed by
Sr C. Scudamore, three hundred and fourteen
stized on the great toe of one foot only, twenty
seven fastened upon both tho great toes,
but only two fastened upon the thumb, only
fifteen touched in, any way tlio hand or wrist.
In not ninro than live cases in n hundred, in
point of fact, is any joint atfectcd with tho
trne gout where the big toe has not been, or
is not, also a eullerer, and in those cases there
has usually been some local injury to cattle the
gout to appear first In somo other than its
natural place. As for tho pain, "Screw yoar
Joint," said a Frenchman, "in a vice till you
, can. no longer bear the pressure, that is rheu
matism ; then give tho vice another twist, that's
gout." Gont having once seized on its chosen
outwork, baa a tendency to light its way up
ward, Iirst storming the ankles, then making an
ngly rnsb upon the knee, then taking possession
Of the bands above the clliows. There used to bo
a superstition that gout lengthens life, and Cullen
' endorsed the maxim that the only remedy for it
was "patience and flannel." lint he would not
now be considered a wlso man who should resign
himself thus to the mercy of an enemy that cm
deal fatal blows, though it does usually kill when
It baa made death welcome by depriving life of
11 its pleasure. A man otherwise healthy, who
is careful of diet, may indeed live beyond his
eightieth year after sulluring from gout
for. more khan half a century ; he may remain
free from chalkstone, stitToess, and de
formity, and suffer only few and slight attacks
in kia old age. But with many the gout remains
. lorg enough in a joint to destroy its flexibi ity,
or to dcpo-.it cbalkstones, which more so called
when people supposed them so to be. They are
not chalk, and they mar contain no particle of
lime, but they contain a large proportion of salt
urate of soda. Cbalkstones are much more
commonly absent than present; or they are not
very often present as visible disfigurement. In a
alight degree they are often to Ik) found, and
if tbey occur anywhere IB any degree, they
are found usually on the ear, commonly near
the thiu upper edge, as little pearly spots,
or a single spot that may be smaller than a
pin'a bead; they give out, when picked, a
milky lluid; or inch a spot may be as large
. as a split pea, and, when hard, is firmly
fastened to the gristle of the ear. These testily
to the altered condition of the blood, the
difference being that while it may retain all
other natural constituents in just proportion, it
baa two constituents, always there, bat properly
only in small proportion, combined ae ura e of
soda, and existing in unnatural excess. It is the
business if the kidneys to remove all bnt a very
little of the urate of soda formed within the body.
When they fail to do that, and it accumulates, its
irritation causes gout. Dr. Uarrod, whose book
on the subject representing the researches of seven
teen years, baa contrived an ingeuious way of dis
covering whether a man has gouty blood. He puts
into a flat glass dish about a spoonful of the
serum or lluid part of the blood to be
toted, adds a few drops of ascetic acid, and
then puts into the mixture one or two line but
rougu ultimate fibres from a piece of unwashed
huckaback or other linen. After standing undis
turbed two or three days the time vuriug with
the slate of the atmosphere if there be too much
uric acid in tho blood it will have crystallized
like sugar caudy round the linen fibre, and its
crystals will easily be recogn zed nnder the micro
scope. These facts, apparently so simple, repre
sent a marked recent advance in medical know
ledge. Apart from the d'tbreut course of symp
toms, the presence of an excess ofjtliis acid iu
the blood, as shown by the thread test, emphati
cally prevents all possible confusion between
font and rheumatism. Where the serum of
rethly-drawn blood will show it, It will be shown
also by the fluid that a blister draws, If it bo not
a blister placed over an lullamcd surface.
Hut If urate of soda in ibo blood gives men the
gt ut, what gives them the urate of soda i Is it
all the doing of old crusty port? Certainly not.
In the first place there is a hereditary tendency
so ttiong that Dr. Cullen even thought all gout
Ltrtdiuuy. In thrco cubes out of Ave, or at any
rate in more than half tho cases, gout may be
traced back to parent or grandparents. It is
part of many a man's rich inheritance. "A fe
veare since," says Dr. Garrod, " 1 was consulted
Dy a gentleman laboring under a severe form of
gout, with chalkstone, and, although not more
tbau fifty jeara old, be bad suffered Irosa tho
disease for a long period. On inquiry, I ascer
tained that for upwards of four centuries the
eldest son of the family had invarioiy been
attlicted with gout when bo came iuto possession

And to when a man sets up for himself a
gout that be has not inherited, be has some
thing at any rate which be will probably leave
to his children. A first attack of gout is sel
dom seen in a patient younger tbau twenty or
older than sixty-six, the g.-eater number of such
attacks occur between the thirtieth and for

LA PETITE M&ISON.
The "small honse" bos really been one of the
greatest curiosities of Varis for some time past.
There Is hardly a I'ori-lan who has not gone once
to look at tho marvel, and, had it been possible,
some speculator would long ago have taken tho
bouse, turned it into a cafe, nnd dono a roaring
trado. lint this could not be : the occupant, who
is also the landlord, allows no ono to enter that
Is to say, none of tho curious public : with myself
be made an exception.
Who In I'aris, In France, I might almost say in
F.uropc, does uot know the FaiiluurgSt. Uoiore,
the inouern Faubouig St. Germain, where all tho
great people of tho new era have settled ? The
splendid Klysee Isapoleein lu the centre ; farther
on, tho ltussinn and Ktiglish Embassies, bugu
paluctswith extensive courts and gardeus; on the
other, the new Ministry of the Interior; the ex
l'ulHis Itenurcau; and a little farther on, tho
renowned Hotel Castellanu inT so on, one
magnificent cditivc after the other. The balconies
are richly gilded ; through tbu plate-glass win
dows you see costly (lania-k and brocade curtains;
in all the court yards embroidered lackeys, and
equipages driving in or out. And then, too, the
new line de I'Klyn e, where each house costs at
leasts a million. The last open ground between
the Russian and F'.nglish Embassies was bought
a few years back by Fercire, the banker, for two
millions, und bo built on it a hote l, whoso in
terior is said to be finer than tbat of the adjoining
imperial palace which 1 cm well believe, for
l'ereirc has certainly more money than tho
l-.mror.
lu such a neighborhood, though it can hardly
be believed, Is situated the "small house;" and
even more, it Is exactly opposite the chief gate
of Ihc F.lysee, so that their Majesties' glanue
must involuntarily full on it in riding out. But
as their Majesties do not live in the Elysee, ami
the master's eye has not yet been offended by
this incomprehensible anomaly, the house has
stood there quietly, and will continue to do so,
tor it has its history. The ground landlords on
the right and left made the owner brilliant oilers,
but to no t fleet; the small house still stands on
the spot where it stood iu the last century.
I'ndcr the Restoration und the Government of
July the small house wus forgotten and unno
ticed ; not surpi lsing, for the Ely see was unoccu
pied, and so neglected that a part of the side
buildings fell down. There were palaces enough
in arid around i'aris, and tho favorite palacet of
nolion 1 was ceituinly the last tho Bourhoua
or the Orleans would have liked to occupy. Dur
ing the 1 'residency ef lM'J and Kit), l'rince Louis
upoleon resided there, and perlormed ihecoup
d'ttut at it. But this is an old s ory.
It was just utter the coup d'etat that the small
bouse begun to be talked about. One of the
doorkeepers of tho Elysee had noticed for somo
time past astrunge and very alarming sight at the
oppe site house. Whenever the I'riuce-1're-.idunt
roce or drove out, the curtains were gently paited
at one of the low windows, and a swarthy bcirded
face became visible, which gaed at bis Highnoss
people were beginning to nsc tho word then.
This waa dally repealed; whenever tbo Elyco
gntcB were opened, and the usual roll of tho
drum was beard, the curtain par ed, and behind
them always appeared the same swarthy bearded
face. The gatekeeper told bis comrades, and they
repeated it to the footmen, each, of course, with his
own comments. At length the liitondatit beard
of it; lrom him It passed to the Adjutant, and the
latter at length imparted it to General Kollin,
commandant du Chateau, very secretly ; for that
tho matter was suspicious aud dangerous was
self-evident.
Wbo knew what might be going on behind
tboso curtains vis-a-vis perhaps a conspiracy
against the Prince's lite, or e.-cn an Infernal ma
chine? The spot was admirably adapted for
such an attempt ; no better could be selected in
all I'aris. The General inquired about the Inhabi
tants of the opposite bouse, quietly, of ceitu;e,
in order not to arouse auy premature suspvtltri
or alurm the conspirators. Hut be only learned
generalities ; on the ground-floor there were two
small shops, as there are now, a limtnt and a
rrtmtrif, between them the nanow house-door,
leading in a long dark passage; the two windows
of the single story, smail and low; alaiut them a
couple of mansardi i, still smaller and lower, and
that was all. The whole wus di ty and de Tepid ;
the No. Mi, a large porcelain plato, white on a
blue ground, was toe so e clean uud elegant port
of the bui ding.
The I'rince-1'rcsii.'eat had acc'dentally hoard,
too, about his unpleasant neighbor, and his
curiosity was aroused. The next time he went
out, the ominous face again upp red at the cur
tuin and sured at the l'rince. Toe latter bowed
poll ely (at that day be knew how to salute
people as kindly as ever a priu o managed it),
the window was drugged open, and a loud "Vivo
1 Kmpcreur I" was shouted. Only think I
Scarce two months alter the coup d'etat, whicli
consolidated the U. public again, and when the
Maire of fct. Cloud bad just be n degraded for
having begun his otlkLl proclamations with
those prohibited words.
So then a loud "Vive lT'mpereur!" and the
next moment tho man with r ire fearful fare
which, however, did not look ncr to terrible
was at the car Huge door and ki- ing the Prince's
bt.its, coat, and hands in shoit, everything he
cou d clutch. They tried to rustruln bim, but ho
posted them aside and cried to the Prince:
' ELfin, Sire, vous voila de re tour. C'a a ete bien
lotgl ' and then burst into tc irs. Tbu l'rince
was alVeetcd, and offered the old man bis band,
wbo stood as if glorilied, and gave all sorts of
unconne cted an weis io the questions asked
him. When be grew calmer lie told what bo
bad on his boart. He was seventy-two years of
age, a vetcrau of the First Empire, served in
Eg)pt, fought In twenty baitlei, und, what was
ti e chief thing, was a persoual friend of tho
Mameluke ltustun. Hustan! Among the Prince's
sulie was one who remembered that Rtistau
Lad really once lived in the small honse which
the F-mperor gave bim. " Unite right," the old
man answered ; "we lived there together, and he
died there, too. Everything is the same upstairs
as it used to be."- The 1'iiuce-I'resident bad
already got out of the carriage and prepared to
enter the bouse; bis olliccrs followed him. Up
stairs are two small rooms, one of which, Hus
ton's former apartment, is a sort of museum. On
the walls are the various uulforms and arms of
the Mamelukes, and numerous other triiles from
the ciunpiiign, among them tho litis k from which
(Jci.er.il Bonaparte drank in Egypt. In the cejjitre
is a teeica ot altar, with the Emperor's bust ; on
a small velvet cu-blon the Cross of the Legion,
fastened to a faded red ribbon. Everything clean
and cleverly looked after, however. In the side
room there is a field-bed, with a table and chair t
on tbo wall an old hussar ulform from the First
Empire, the shako with the bright yellow plume
eighteen inches bigb, and so ou.
The Priuce-Pmsidcnt examined everything, and
asked for explanation. The details In the old
man'f story were excessively comical, and
aroused general merriment. Thus he bad inhabited
the small houee for upwards of thirty yean,
without any title, for he simply luheritod it front
Ktistan, who said to bim : "When 1 am dead,
do you keep the bouse, tbey will leave yoa In it,
only tell them that the Emperor gave it to us."
Btiunge to say, the muulc.liu.iity of Paris, though
usually so punctilious, left the old man at peace,
recognized bim as proprleUire, and taxed him
accordingly. Mo one is happier lu the whole
a flair than the two shopkeepers, who, In the second
generation, pay the same rent as In 1H28, fifteen

The funds requisite for the catortainmcnt were
provided by contributions from the Hoard of
Brokers, and we only wish that tho Board had
been there in a body to witness the fruits of their
liberality in the bounteous tables that were spread
for their country's defenders, and tho unmixed
gnjety and hilarity with wkich they enjoyed tho
feast provided for them.
The dinner was gotten up nnder tbo super
vision of Mr. P. M. Mapes, the steward of the
steamer Ctty o f S etc York, of the Norwich ail. I
Worcester line, and euibrae-ed every variety of
savory dish which the most exacting palate could
wish. 1 ho tables were kept standing from 1 to
11 o'clock, P. M., during which time between i'K)
and (loo soldiers sat down to their Christmas din
ner. Nor was the festival connued, by any
means, to the dinner alone. Colonel Neville, the
popular superintendent of the Homo, had made
ample provisions for tbo mtire intellectual enter
tainment of bis boys. Tho spacious library and
lonnging-room for the. soldiers on tho second lloor,
was the scene of mirth, music and song during
the at te moon and eveuing, which drew thither
large rnnibirs of spec tators, who were not less
pleased than the soldiers with the entertainment.
Colonel Neville aud bis gentlemanly assistant,
Captain Dunlcvy, welcomed all who came, and
pioviucd them with tbo best accommodations
that the apartments would permit. The band of
the 1'2'h New York Cavalry, temporarily stopping
at the Home, on its way to Ncwucrn, N. C, fur

About 3-')0 o'clock P. M., while the company
were listening to one of tho songs of the Union
Glee Club, Vice-Admirul Farragut, accompinled
by Commodore Drayton, entered the room, and
was greeted with the wiletest enthusiasm. "Nine

f llowed by nine rbeers for Commodore Drayton.
As soon as the tumult bad subsided, the Glee
Club, at the request of Colonel Neville, sang
"Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," at the conclu

and Gkntlkvbn : I am mot happy to see you.
The cordial reception which has everywhere been
extended to me since 1 arrived in this city, de
mands my most grateful acknowledgments,
though I Ice I tbat it exceeds my deserts. And it
is especially gratifying tome to see the soldier
and sailors here assembled. I am always proud
of those wbo stand by their flag and do their
duty, and the presence alone of those meu here,
as well as tho maimed condition of some 1 see
about me, is proof that they have done tbetr duty
ai d done it nobly. I, too, have done no more
tt an n.y duty, aud every man who has done that
1 It eJ to be ou a perfect equality with tne." ( Ap
p an e.)
Con. modore Drayton was then called for, and
thanked the audience for the reception they had
given bim, und su id he was aware that he was
until ed tei their remembrance only from his con
nection with the Admiral, whose name was suf
ficient to carry any one through. (Ap
plause.) Ho wi.-bed to suy a word in behalf of
the noble crew of the Hartford, some of whom be
was gratified to see hero to-day. Every man of
that brave crew had done bis duty nobly, and do
served imperishable renown. Many had been
swept from their guns while engaged in the
utluck on Mobile, but their places were immedi
ately supplied by their comrades, and all seemed
animated w ith a zeal and patriotic fervor which
gladly sought the opportunity to do and die, if
need be, lor their country. (Applause.)
He was glad to tee that they were remembered
by their countrymen. Again thanking them for
their flattering remembrance of himself ou th s
occasion, be hoped to be able iu tho future lo
show himself not unworthy of their continued
approbate n. (Great applause.)
Both of the distinguished gentlemen were then
Introduced toa large numberof the Indies present,
and were afterwards etinduced through 'ha estats
bshmcnt and showed the excellent arrangemen
for the care of our dlsubled soldiers and sailors.
The festivities were kept up at the Home until
late In tho evening, and wero of the most pleasant
and entertaining oliaracler. .V. '. lime:
