On the morning of tho 17th of February considerable exci emenl was cieated by the discovery of the dead body of a ni.ui tl. tating 111 tlie tie i ue, at uo great distance from Point Neuf. On its lettioval to the morgue for ideiui fication, ii waa concluded by tlie surgeons 111 charge that it bad been in -lie water for a hiih1 of not less than four weeks, ami that the perfect state in which it was found was attributed to the coldness of tLe weather. An examination revealed a single abia sion over Ihe left temple, as though made by some heavy, blunt instrument. Other wise there were 110 maiks of violence d;s Coveied. The apparel of the dead man, which was of a tine tiu;ililj, indicated I hat lie was not a 1'aii.sian ; from the casl 01' his handsome and refined co'jutenaiice and the cut of his beard, it was inferred he was an Italian gentleman possibly of noble blood. CejoiiJ a small sum of money, and a single Iclte.' found in his jsickets, theie was nothing which could lead lo his ideuii fi cation. Th" letter was addressed to "Maniico Z.moiie, Tayi.stock Hotel, London," and was wiitteu by a banker in the city of Dublin, PAHting that the exact amount of money totbeciedit of M. Z.uxine was the sum of 13.000 10s. 6d. It was dated on the 12ili ol September, lSGo, and signed P. tJiseff & Sons." After exposing the body for the usual time fot iuent itication, aud no one claim ing it, it- was buncd at the public expense, and in a few days forgotten. The Prefec of Police placed in my hands Ihe let er found 011 the body, and de bited me to investigate the matter. Aside from the letter theie was no clue that would enable me to uniavel the mas tery. 11 is name, tank, station aud death weie alike shrouded 111 profound obscuri ty. The letter, then, was the only chance for penetrating it. I wrote to P. (Joeff & Sons. In due sea son the answer came. It was buef. Il merely staled that M. Zauoue, an Italian gentleman, had been a depositor in the batik, but on the 29th of January, 180(3, ac cording to their books, the balance was withdrawn by M. Zauoue, aud, at his writ ten direction from Paris, a draft on M. tiodeau, of No. 20 Kite liivoli, was for warded 10 his address in Paiis, line It im part, Xo. 100, and that the draft had been cashed. They knew uothiug of their de positor's subsequent history.' 1 next called upon M. G'ideati. He pro duced his tKNik. The diaft had been paid Febmary 3d, 18GG, and M. Zauoue bad been properly identified. Then 1 called ou the landlord of M. Zau oue, in the Rue Rampart. M Zauoue bad given up bis apartments on the 3d of Feb ruary, I860, slating that he was sum moiled suddenly away on 1 in pi 11 taut business. He bad engaged his apaiiinents 011 the nun 11 ing of the 21st of Jauuaiy, and had paid one mouth iu advance. He was leporled as very retired, saw no company, and rare ly went out, his meals being sei ved from a neighboring restaurant. Telegrams, were sent to various cities iu Italy, with particulars of the deceased, but nothing could be ascertained flora that quarter. There the chase stopped. If I pursued the object much further 1 was left unaided to grope in the daik. Had it not lieen for one fact I should have abandoned, iu ihe piess of olhei business, the matter at once. That one fact, which told me in the im iterative voice of duty to bring every faculty into play, and solve be fale of Zauone, was his jmis sessiou of the enormous sum of 15,000. What has become of It? was the qres tioii which occulted to me a thousand times a day. I must, titid out what became of that money. Once more I reviewed Ihe facts. Unfortunately the same band bad traced the letter from Paiis. 1 had hoped lo have found it a forgery. Again the light had left tne, and 1 was feebly groping in the dark. Then I called to my aid two expeits in the ar of penmanship. These lelteis weie placed before ibein. Every cbaiaciei istic of the eailier le ters ngreed with the lettei from Pans. The expeits pionounced tlo chirogiaphy that- of Ihe same pel sou. 1 was completely baffled. From Dublin, Zanone bad gone to Leu. don. From Loudon, therefoie, he tuusi have gone to Paris. Aceoidiugly, I resolved to return to Paria by the way of London. Was ever a case shrouded in more com plete and unimienetrabl mystery? Could I, with an exrenence of twenty yeats, discovei the ciicuinstauces of tin man's death ? Again the voice of reason bade me to look for the 15,000. Find out what be came of the tuuuey, and I bad solved the problem. I was about retiring for the night, when suddenly a ray of light broke through m brain. I oociulted my time table. There waa yet time. Iu twenty minutes I was being n billed through the environs of Paris, 011 my way to Dublin. I would examine the letter which re quested Messrs. Goeff & Sons to forwaid ihe money to Paris. Two days later I was seated in the bankeTs office with the letter before me. Two other letters, written by the deceased one from Ijondonderry, another from Belfast, relative to trivial matters were also placed before me. The letters weie written a few days after the deposit bad been made. An Italian stranger arrives in Dublin, from whence is not known. He deposits a large sum of money with a reputable banker. After a while he leaved Dublin, and is next- heard of in London, from whence lie wiites a letter of inquiry to li s banker in Dublin, and speaks of shortly going to Paris, and iu due season is heaid from in Paris, where he badges in the Rue Rampart. At his written direction, bis banker in Dublin renins to him an enor mous sum of money. Ou ihe 3d of Febru aiy, after p.nper iden ilicalimis, be receives the money I rum a piomiueut banker in Paris, the same day he leaves bis apart ments, saying that he is suddenly called away, without stating whence. Fourteen days afterward his body is discovered tioal ihg in the Seine, with a few francs iu his pocket and the marks of a blow over his left, temple. Through channelsknown best tn the pro fession, I tracvd my man to Tavistock Hotel iu Coven t (Jaiden. It was near the 11 ay market the place where the night side of nature luxuriates the haunts of brazen women and bold, bail men. where wild revelry and mad oigies rule the mid night hour ; where the treacherous sirei.s weave theii fatal webs; wheie the wild red wine gurgles o'er the goblet; where the eyes shine brightest, and unholy passion rears its hydra head. I began to weaken in my wotk when I dtsc'tveied that Zauone had plunged iu'.o Ihe vortex of d i.ssipat ion. I don't know why. but I take a keener interest iu my woi k w hen it leads me into better scenes. However, a detective can't a II". nd to spend his time moralizing. A few judicious inquiiiea put me in p session ol Ihe tact thai Zmoue had become fascinated with a beautiful English giil not unknown to the police 011 account of her in ler recklessness. Had I at lasi si 1 tick the trail of this labyrinth of vice winch would lead lo the solution of the mysSery ? Once moie the voice reason whispered the answer. The woman and the money were linked inseparably together. Inch by inch I traced I et with her vic tim. Siep by step I followed them he to Ihe des' ruction which was inevitable, she to the coiisummat ion of this most bloody deed. They h-ft London together. On the evening of Jauuaiy 20ih, 1S0G, they ar rived in Pal is. Hi fore leaving the depot I examined my notes. "On the 21st ol Jauuaiy, Zauone, alone, had engaged apartments iu the Rue Riimpar . His landlord said he seld-jin went out saw uo company." I was dumbfounded . The wotnau then diopped from the drama that night. My theories and my conclusions, then, weie false. I was bewiideied. The mastery thickened. The mists of doubt ant uncertainty aiose alx'Ul tne, aud let; me idly aud hopelessly speculating upon the new phase that now presented llself. I had lieeu confident t bat through the wotnau I would track the vic tim. I had fell I was on the vertre of dis covery when lo! the wotnau disappears. I'll confess that I had got my match in Elise Cameron. I knew something of a woman's cunning. Therefore I determin ed lo proceed to my apartments, dismiss the nial er from my mind for the night and ei.j-iy a comfortable evening and refresh ing sleep befoie I pi'ceeded further. Chance led my foots'a-ps through the Rue Rampart. I passed the door of No. 100, where Zanoue had lodged. Without exactly knowing why, I entered and asked foi M Saborin, the landlord. His wife an swered : "Monsieur will be in directly." Madame was but ihiity ; her eyes n-eie bright ; she was faultlessly formed ; he' smile was sweet And veiy eiicmn aging. I dcteimined to chat with her until monsieur returned. I felt that I must make an ex ctise of some kind, and so I inquired if she remembered Monsieur Zauoue, who bad lodged wit b her. Madame blushed very red, and dropped her eyes. Pieseutly she said she did, aud that monsieur was a very handsome young man "so quiet and so young." I perceived at once that she Could not be speaking of Zauone, for he was at least forty yenrs of age ; so I added that I refer red to M. Zauone, the Italian gentleman, who had departed so suddenly. Madame once more dropped her eyes as she returned : "I know Monsieur Z.ttiotie; but you are wrong he was a very young gentleman." Light at last! befoie the rays of which the mists of doubt and uncertainty rolled silelilly away. I groped uo longer, child like, iu the tlaik. I leeled like a drunken man as Ihe iiuth broke upon me. Vicioiy at last ! It A-as clear as the noon day sun. The voice of leasoii was right. The woman and the money weie linked insep arably together. Cunning as her plot was dep as her sclieine was laid subtle as was her devilish work carefull as all t he details were car lied out, the London courtesan was un masked, and I comprehended the whole tragedy. It was she, Elise Cameron, who had pei donated Mini ico Zuione, at No. 100 Rti Ram par ; it was she who had written li teller dn ct ing I he 15.000 lo be forw arder 10 Paris; it was she who had drawn tin money from M. Godeau. in the Rue Rivoli And once more the voice of reason ciicil aloud. It was she who caused Ihe death of the Italian. They had arrived together in Paris 01. the nioht of January 20th. On the 21s she had assumed Ihe diameter of Z inone. and engaged the apartment iu the Ru Ram pai t. Where, then, was Zinone? Futile ques tion. The unknown Italian, with crushed skull, was lying staik and dead beneath the water of the Seine on the morning ol the 21st, when the London couilesan dis apMared aud emerged agaiu in the char acter of the murdered man. That night t he London police were scour ing Loudon to find Elise Cameron ; before morning the telegraph iufotujcd tu lLal after nat tini? with Zammn aim li-irt not r appealed in London. Jjy noon next dav I had tracked her, iu spite of her ar ful dis guise, to Havre, a no there 1 learned that n Ihe eve of 6th of February, 1866. she had taken passage in the Ville de Paris, still in male attire, for New York, in com pany with a lover from London. Once there, she cast aside her disguise, and emerged once more aa the fasciuating wo man. After months of patient labor, she was apprehended in Philadelphia, and brought back to Paris to stand her trial for muider. As we were unable to prove that she struck the blow wind caused the death of Zau one, she was convicted of forging the lettei to the Dublin bankers, and was sentenced to imprisonment for twenty tne years, the highest penalty for the ollence under the laws of Prauee. Gordon's Charmed Life. When the war broke out Gordon was living not very far fr.im Chattanooga en gaged in milling operations. He was an original secessionist, and was the first mau wiibin a radius of thirty miles of Chatla nooga to raise a company of soldiers. He first laised a company of cavalry, but that was declined, whereupon be immediately aised a company of infantry called the "Raccoon Roughs," the men being from the vicinity nf Racctsm mountain. This company was attached to the Sixth Ala bama regiment, of whichaGoidou very'stani after was made c ilntiel. At Seven Pines his regiment was pretty well used up more than two thirds of the men weie killed and wounded, and all Ihe regimental orbceis except Gordon weie killed outright. His horse was killed tin tier him, and his clothing was pierced b three bullets. Of the 609 men he took into battle, only 204 came out, and of one com pany of 40, but. 10 suivived. This gave hini for a time the command of a brigade. At Mai vm H ill" he led a desperate charge at the head of his brigade, and lost about one-half Ins command iu killed and wound ed. The butt of bis pJstol was canted away by a ball, the breast of his coat torn okmi by another, aud his can een shot through by a thiid. Then it began to be said iti the aimy that Coition boiea charm ed life, that 110 bullet could kill him. At Sharpslniig his old regiment was agaiu neatly anuihila ed. Two companies weie reduced to six men, and not an officer remaining. Eaily in the battle two bul lets passed through Gordon's leg, but be would not leave the field. An hour later a ball went through his shoulder, the butt of the ball remaining in the wound. Pale, haggard, and bis uniform crimson wilb blood, yet be would not leave the field. He thought all his ir.en were lo be killed, and he preferred to share their faie. Iu a lew moments a lifih ball stiuck htm, pass ing enti.ely through his left cheek aud brought him senseless to the ground. This made the wound, the scar of which leinains so conspicuous up'ti bis face. Besides these five balls which had cut his clothes, one passing through his cap, an other through bis tcket indenting the steel clasp on his purse, while a sjient ball struck bun iu the breast, making a severe bruise. After these five desperate wounds at Sharpsbtirg he was removed to Winchester, where he lay a long time swinging between life and death, with the chances hugely iu favor of death. Bui he reeovertd, and was out iu time to command a biigade of Geoigiaus a. the battle of Fredericksburg, and to take part in the Pennsylvania cam paign, and at the battle of Ge tysburg, where be especially distinguished himself. Soon after this he was made Major-Gener-al, and took patt iu all the Virginia battles 1111 il the surrender of Lee, when there re inained of bis division but two thousand totu. RUBBER BALLS. THE CURRENT PROCESS OF MAKING THOSE PLAYTHINGS. The process of making the hollow rubbei balls used by children for playthings is quite cuiious, and maybe interesting to those not familiar wnh it. A Holyoke writer thus desenbesit. The upper room f the null is prepared to push this branch of the business for a few tn. m lis, and it will piobably turn oul some 50,000 dozen of these balls between January and June. These balls have a solid suiface, are made by a different process from that, of making the soft rubber balls which are perforated by an opening, and of course are much more firm, durable and elastic. The sheets of mbber prepared for t he balls are cut into strips of double convex shape. The edues of the strips are moistened with a prepara tinn of rubber and naphtha, by which they ate joined fiinily together, three of this strips being used for one bail. This part of ihe work in done by girls and a skillful girl can earn about $1.50 er day. When the strips are joined together, the ball is very nearly the shape of a Brazil nut. Before the last opening is closed, a small quantity of carbonate of ammonia is put inside, which when subjected to stiong heat will make the rublier expand ami till the ball mould. The opening is 1 lien closed with the adhesive mixture, aud it is placed 111 an iron mould of the shape of the ball desired. The moulds art pack ed into fianies. in which 1 hey aie subjected to the heat of the v.ilcaniz-r. They are kepi tu pi ace 111 the frame by iron nats along the side, and when the fiame is full, iron pi ties a the end ate screwed down lightly tioo ihe moulds to hold them in place. These iron plalea are aluml f h.ee-f.niit lis of an inch, buck, aud so strong is the expansive force of the lull Iter iu the moulds ilia they have lieu 111 is thick iron into a curve. If one of the moulds s'lould woi k mil of place while vulcanization is in process, the moulds will all fly out. with a noise like the rejsnl of a dozen j.islols, and the work issjs.ilcd. The tenon of the beat does the lest. Wheu :he moulds are opened, they contain the (eiTcct round balls, with 110 maik of ihe places w here the pieces were j uued. Tim slight tidge made by be mould is ground off by a stone used for -be pin jiose, and tho nail is done. This is but one process of uhtier woik. Iusidesthe hollow balls are nade solid balls of rubber, etc Lucy Stone declares that she despises Ihe custom of men lifting their ha a to -women, aud she wants no man to salute her in that way.

Ijeffend of the 1 1 minted Cttve. On the sunny banks of the Hudson, wheie itssilvr-iy waters widen into Tappau Bay, could be seen, amid the s?eep, ciaged cliffs, an ancient cave. 'I he entrance was dai k and moss grown. Huge iocks. piled like surly monsters above it, and slippery sides guard -d it from the intrusion of man and beast ; while mysterious legends weie told among the llighlaudeis of the spirits that held possession of its vaulted tecesse. The folloaing story is one of this nature : Iu the early pail of the American re vo lution, two hunters, holly puisued by In dians, and unacquainted with the spot, scrambled, at the eril of life or death, down the precipitous sides into the cave. It was dusk. The lowering clouds mutter ed an approaching storm, and ihe sere leaves of the wintiy oak sighed dolefully. The hardy hunters advanced into the inky vault, 1 heir feet oft st liking against crum bling rocks or their heads bruised against the rough walls. Still they cousideied themselves safe against pursuit and deter mined to spend the night there. On a sudden the cave rocked under their feet, fierce growls aud yells came up from the darkness, hideous fiends iu the l'o:ni of ser pents, dogs and monsters seemed lo hover around I hem. Their glai ing eyes resem bled burning coals. A cold fear 1 an through the marrow of their bones; their legs tot,, tered utiflei them, aud they felt themselves in the fsiwer of invisible beings. They turned to run out of the cave. Scarcely had they reached the owning, when Ihe frightful rolling of thunder stunned their bewildered minds, while from Ihe sea be l'iw came the lonely cry of atcli ahoy, ahoy!" At this moment the lightning parted the gloom, and they descried a ship of three masts skimming the waters. It seemed to have neither crew nor pilot. But to their amazement they felt their bats carried to the top of the masts; and the shrill cry was heard light under the cliff; then the vessel wassceu agaiu iu the farth est distance. All was now quiet. The thunder had died away ; and u ojght but au i.npen-tia-hie gloom wrapped rock and river in its folds. Giadtially the feaisof the huu s tnen, wrought to Iheir highest, pitch in ihe exciting scenes around them, were soothed into a timid self-Hss-sioii and shame of their cowardice. "What a wonderful place this is!" said Lorin. "It seems as if all the witches of New England had nestled down here." "And wha a mysteiious ship," rejoined Harvey, "what can if be?" "I remeintiei," said Loriu "that grandfath er told me by the fireside bow such a ship had often Ix-en seen in fonner days, in this pari of the Hudson liver, especially around the Douderslierg ; that the people had seen ii in stormy wea her, at one time within a few vids of litem so that they could dis tinguish the objects on ttoaid, but never beheld a human soul ou it ; while a mo ment after it sailed iu the distance, appear ing aud disapeai ing, as if by enchant nit-u . How it has come here, no one can tell. But woiidetiul stories are told. Jean Van Bommel, au old Dutch settler, beard that cry of 'Watch ahoy, Aliov.' while in bis room one evening and saw the siiauge ves sel hoveling around the bank, breaking, like the night owl, the silence of the lonely lake, aud. laity-like, sailing off, with bis nightcap dniif ling at the topnf the mizzeu mast." "Stiange." muttered Haivey, "what can it be?" and this unearthly noise inside ?" "I have In-aid of g tosts, but 1 could never believe m them till to night." Well. Harvey, all .his may be a tiick got up by some rascal-. Whoknows? at any rate we were o-wards to run away. What rin you say to our trying the cave giii?" ThaiisexCtly;iy wish, Liin; let us eximine." With lsld steps, and tViiilv clasping their guns lo their si.les. they advanced. Tho silence of Ibe tomb reigned mound, broken ever and anon bv the faint sighing of the wind ; but bush ! bey heaid a rustling, as of autumn leaves. They stopjierito listen, but they heaid only their own heavy bieithing and throbbing hearts. They bad not proceeded a bundled yards when a groan and cbat'ering of teeth struck iisii their ears. They felt tin ni sei ve dragged by invisible bauds along marble pavements, till a diHr oned. and, as if conjured tip by magic, they found themselves in a stalely ball, lit up by gold en chandaliers which hung suspended from the vaulted ceiting. Paintings of tourna ments svea pons, and warriors of llie Nor man period decorated the walls; wh! a Tmkisb oarpet was spread upon tLe Hour. What riveted their sight, aud beld them chained to the spot, were three persons seated carelessly around a table, and dress ed in black from bead to foot. The middle one, with black beard aud moustache, wi h pale cheeks, and of low stature, fixed bis small, piercing eyes uan the intruders, aud, pointing to a brace of pistols on the table, shouted in a tone of command : 'Begone, ye bounds, or I will blow yon tr atoms !" but seeing the resolute look of the huntsmen, who, when they found them selves thus entiapied, felt their native coinage revive, be relaxed. "I see," said he, "yoti are brave fellows, worthy of Cap tain Kidd. the rover of the Hudson. Nevrr has a living soul dared to enter this ball. Two bundled years I have haunted this seat of my treasures wilh my pirate ere a-, and eie another huutsniatiVihall set bis ftot upon this 11' xir, I shall bear the trumpet call me to judgment." He pointed to a secret dior, and instantly both men and door seemed to sink away from sight iuto the floor When he hunters recovered from their stupor, they found themselves on the High lauds of the Hudson. But the entrance to those hidden treasures they could never discover. A CO US' TRY EDITOR'S TTA 1". The sayings and doings of the country editor are not so notable now-a-das as in the old times when inral papeis were rarely conducted on a cash basts, aud the plaints of the worticd fellow on the liiimd, who accepted cordood ordiied pumpkins, or almost anything eatable i r saleable, for sub set iptions, were frequent and painful ami free. Men in desjei ate straits ate afJIicled with strange whimsies nd the expressions of those disgusted literaiy lights were often strikingly oiigiual aud exceedingly gro tesque. Now-, however, things are differ ent, and rarely does the county editor excel in bis old specialty. A recent case over iu Kentucky, wheie an editor "sjsike light out," is, therefore, exceptionally notable. He wis walking recently uhu the street, enjoying the balmy spiing atmosphere, and wondering whether, in the yeai to Come, his p.ipei would lie -st aVilished ujw.n a paying basis, when be became aware of a sudden giggling and tittering bchii.d him. He turned and saw the souiceof the meriiment. Two well-dressed ladies, prominent in the town, were iu the reai, ami laughing heartily. Much to the poor editor's surpiise, their attention seemed esecially directed to some peculiaiity ab iut his exterior. Then be divined, wlt'i a tin ill of ni'jr; itication. the cause of their amust ment. Much tw isting and writhing, while grinding out menial productions, sa'ed in a haid bottomed chair, bad told ujion the fiail texture of his pantaloons, and the cloth bad finally yielded. The ed itor's wile god, thrifty woman bad re paired the damage as brt she could ; but because new cloth matches poorly with the old, the evidences of her handiwork were all ts plainly visible. Heuce the cruel laughter of the ladies behind the country editor. The joor man lied to his office in shame. Then bis manhood asserted itself, and he sat down upon the patch and wrote something for the paper. His next issue contained this paragraph : "As we walked past a couple of ladies on the s'reet Ihe other day, one of them, so we are informed, observed a large patch on our pi;ts, ami made merry over the discovery. Well, we do wear old clothes, it is true; but we might aifnrd tn treat ourselves to le:ter ones it the husband of the woman we refer t-i won Id come to the office and pay us SlH. which b has lni owing for a long time for subscription and job work." "Doubtless" said a logical old English cleigyman, God might have made a bet ter beny than the stiawbeny. but, doubt less, God never did." Doubtless some country editor might make a point more ueatlv, bu doubtless none ever did. If that Kitle bill of $18 was not settled up within a week after the apearaiice of his paper, then there is no v'.rltie in pungency. Aud the occuirenee is a tveeu". aud a literal oue. tit.
