:Victor. Hugo has changed the title of his
romance, which will appear in Paris early
in January. - .
The • book is called "The Man who
Laughs." - The title "By the King's Cora
.mand"- is retained for the second' part, and
"the Sea and the Night" is the title of the
first part. 130 says . M Feyrnet, in the
Temps.
The death of Berryer leaves' vacant Fau
teuil- -No. - 39 - of- the .A.cadeinie Francaise.
:Among others who have had this seat wil
be remembered the agreeable Duke of Ni
verndis, celebrated for his gormandizing, his
fables, and his goodheartedness; Legouve,
father of the present Aeademicien; the. Count
of Saint-Priest,historian of merit, Berryer's im
snediate predecessor; and also the philosopher
Ballanche, so ingenious but so flighty, of
whom they tell an .odd anecdote.
He was one of the faithful followers of
Mme. Recamier when the latter was old and
blind. = He was very poor, and used to come
every evening in shoes the blacking on which
became digagreeable to the olfactory nerve
of Mine. Recamler. She could not help one
day saying so to the poor philosopher, who,
before entering the salon, would thereafter
leave his shoes at the door.
George - Sand, the other day, coming from
Thomery, called a cab, the driver of which
several times excited her displeasure. Out of
patience, the celebrated authoress censured
her conductor in these terms: "When a man
has no more intelligence -than - that-he - does
liot follow driving. The man replied: "It is
true that if nature tiad not been so mean, I
should never have been sitting on this box. I
should have been making novels." George
Sand had nothing to say. ,ef?,
December 2, two libres-professeurs of the
clinic, Protessor F., author of an -important
work on dissection, and Professor -,
fought a duel at Satory. The first wounded
Ilia adversary in the breast.
Mme. Miolon Carvalho, soprano of the
Chatelet (for whom Gounod composed his
part of Juliette), is engaged for the Grand
Opera at the figure of 60,000 francs a year,
with four months' vacation, two out of which
may be taken in winter to sing for her own
benefit.—Mme. Carvalho is well worth a
hundred thousand francs, said the director,
Perrin, and by this arrangement I believe I
allow her that much.
A lyric star of the Grand Opera, "Marie
Battu "(this name sounds, in rapid French,
'Very much like Patti), is insulted by the en
gagement of Carvalho, and withdraws. She
was heard for the last time on the stage in
Rue Lepelletier on the solemnity for Rossini,
performance of William Tell.
On the tat of December the little theatre of
Mlle. D6jazet, which annually prepares a
comic "Review of the Year," gave a recep
lion for the purpose of allowing the authors
of the forthcoming Review to read their pro
logue to the actors.
—At the same theatre, the next evening, one
of those little dramas which are successful,
however thin, simply because they are trans
acted before the curtain:
Mr. X— was in a box accompanied by
a distracting young person whom he seated
behind a curtain to screen her trom the en
vious eyes of the parquet—and by another
lady.

man, has sworn he will never forgive.
6 Curiosities of the Paris "Censure: "
M. Perrin was singing with applause a
'A new song by Messrs. Marville and Darcier,
entitled The Young and the Old, in favor
of the good old times, and concluding thus::
- "And those old fellows, gentlemen, at whom the
taste of the day would laugh,
They made 'B9 !—which you would not have
done !"
A revolutionary spectator, disapproving
this peroration, called out "enough." The
,house, annoyed at the interruption,demanded
his expulsion, and he went out swearing.
The audience did not know that the line Was
the inspiration of Mlle. Censure! The verse,
as written by the authors, was :
"They nude 'B9—would you do as much ?"
The change was due the muse of' some
Anacreontic policeman.
One of the proprietors of the paper La
France has erected on the mantel of his
office a little affair like a tomb.
On a marble block surmounted by a white
satin cgshion, lies a pipe. Under it you
read: "
IT comes to me from HIM.
It, that is the pipe. Him, that is the
Emperor.

Madame Carette, nee M'lle' Bouvet, is the
- reader and confidante of the Empress Eu
genie, to whom she bears a very strong re
semblance, although she looks more majestic
and dignified than the Empress. For this
reason the servants' at the:Tuileries call her
the "Vice Empress." About a'year ago Eu
genie said to 'Mlle Botvet, "Annette, it is
'time for you.get married. knolv a hus
band' for you. It is M. de Grandguillot." M.
de Grandguillot is one of the chamberlains at
the Tuileries. The Empress added that she
wbuld bestow - a dower upon . M'lle Bouyet if
she would marry him. The fair reader
blushed tleePly, and; - thank' her MajestY for
er kindness, faltered.' out that she
Was, alreavy engaged. The Empress
started back, ;exclaiming, "Mon. • Dieu,
Annette! and you did not tell me ? Who is
your intended?" • "It is M. Carette, ,the'llitin
ufacturer.-"- This M. Carette is a very wealthy
man and a most eligible match; so the Etn
press at once congratulated Mlle Bouvet on
her good fortune, .and generously offered
to bestow tho dower of three hundred thOu
sand francs as before . proposed in regard! to..
the .other_match on her reader. M. - Carette,
however, - would not accept it. •In a , prilate
audience which the Empress granted him, he
said he did not _want any money. "But-you
must accept some favor at myhands," said
the Empress. "Timm," she added, "I shall
make.yon my honorary chamberlain." "And
I," said the Emperor, who was present, "will
add the Cross of the Legion of Honor to the
title. Those will be our wedding gifts." "I
tbankittlly - aceept them, your Majesties," re
plied CArette.

A CRIVISE_IIII_ wits cosiotocuos.
BY T. F. N
On a bright day of last March the,U. S. S.
Contoocook; concerning whose powers of
speed so Much. has' - been written; steamed
into HamptiM„ltoads from* Portsmouth, N.
H., where:ahe bad been built and put in com
mission. The Contoocook was ordered to
take the place of the 11. S. S. Wampanoag,
until that time flag-ship of the North At
lantic Squadron, the cruising ground of
which lies between the mouth of the Amazon
river and as far north as it may benefit the
service to go; The Admiral's flag then was
transferred from the Wampanaog to the
Contoocook, and the latter vessel made
ready at Fortress Monroe for her cruise
throughout the West Indies and elsewhere to
the different vessels of the squadron lying at
those points.
Final preparations aboard a man-of-war are
like linked sweetness exceedingly long arawn
out: Stores and powder are to be received
on board, alterations for the eomfort of
officers and men- must- be made; im
provements suggested, acted upon; orders
promulgated, and men disciplined—so that
some weeks elapsed before all was reported
ready_ forsea.
OFF FOR TUE SOUTH IN A MAN-OF-WAR
The guns are secured for sea, the anchor
weighed, the pilot taken aboard, farewells
are spoken and Fortress Monroe recedes from
view. Cape Henry is passed, the pilot re
turns in his own boat, and as twilight creeps
upon the land,the crunching propeller drives
our good ship tarther out to sea. A ship at
sea is a state ashore, both in its legislative
and social organization, with a remarkable
unanimity between the executive and legis
lative branches of government. Messages
and vetoes are both unknown. Articles of
amendment`are unchallenged. Socially,each
member of the community must contribute
something for the good of the whole. To the
general reader a description of the
QUARTERS ABOARD A MAN-OF-WAR
may not prove uninteresting. Passing, then,
the cabin, in which the captain reigns su
preme and alone,we come below on the berth
deck and enter the ward-room. In this ward
room are quartered all line officers above the
rank of Midshipman, with many of the staff.
Here are to be found the executive officers,
navigator, lieutenants, masters, ensigns, sur
geons, paymaster, chief engineer and marine
officers. The size of the ward-room of course
varies according to the class of the vessel. It
is situated "att," is generally commodious,
and is fitted on either side with state-rooms for
its occupants. Immediately "forward" is
the historic steerage (not to be confounded
with the steerage of a passenger vessel), the
abode of the effervescent midshipmen. In
a space of 20 feet by 10, here ten and often
sixteen young officers eat, sleep and live.
No staterooms are furnished to the steerage,
but hammocks nurse the prostrate forms of
the darlings of the deep. The economy of
space in a man-of-war has been 'reduced to a
science. The old saw, "No man is a hero,"
&c., is strikingly exemplified here. In the
ward-room the etiquette of title is generally
observed. Not so in the crowded steerage.
That young officer who hails from Maine
is known by the euphonious name
of "Yank." This one, whose star of nativity
has risen in the interior of Pennsylvania, is
dubbed "Dutch." A Napoleonic exile bears
with a shrug the cognomen of "Preachy."
The stalwart Western man answers with
stolid indifference the call of "Put;" wbile
others are suggested - more perhaps from per
sonal characteristics than by the localities
from which they hail.
A COLLISION OFF MATTERAS, AND AN /RISII
MANS OPINION OF IT.
•
_ .
The first night "out" in a man-of-war is
usually a sad one. Farewells have 'been
spoken,and pleasant associations severed, the
remembrances of whicji are fresh in the hearts
of those leaving home and friends behind.
To -night is no exception to the rule. One
can gather from the sound and silence of the
warairoom the feelings of its occupants. The
favorite melodies of Abt, "As the Swallows ,"
"Sleep Well," etc., float up on deck. From
the steerage the listener is requested
to "tie de bull dog loose;" also, is
informed in a manner univocal
how the steerage loves the military and of the
happiness of a certain sundower. Song
and sound at length die out together, berths
and hammocks are sought, and at midnight
the sleepless hear nothing save the ceaseless
turn of the propeller, the measured tread of
the officer of the deck, the occasional shuf
fling of' the man at the wheel or the calling of
the 'after guard." One hundred miles off
Hatteras, and still the vessel like a thing an
imate throbs on and on.
A crash! a crushing,grating sound, splinter
ing of timbers, and then the cry"all hands on
deck to save ship!" Otie more dreadful repe
tition of the history of the cape. One more
fated snip down to its death through the dark
gates of Matteras..
- Such are the thoughts of officers and men
as in obedience td" the call they crowd on
deck to learn the danger. A drizzling rain
is falling, and right along aide in the dark
ness lies the author of the mischief. A Liver
pool packet : inward bound, with a
criminal disregard of life—without head
lights—has struck thili •Contoocock
on the starboard. bow, sheered around, chafes
alongside, and, in the expressive language of
the boatswain, is "chawin' us all up." The
vessel is stopped, the engine backed, and
slowly the ships separate. The stranger, in
reply to the hail of the officer of. the deck,

instances have been ielated during the late
War Of the sense of - the ludierohs often pre
dominating in battle and in places of great
danger. An incident occurred' hem- which
may be worth relating. A coal-heaver, an
Irishman lately arrived in this country, and
shipped at Now York, at the time of the col
lision was on duty in the fire-roorn below.
Feeling the shoc)t., and knowing something
was wrong, and yet ignorant what,46 ascended
the engine room ladder and asked permission
of the engineer on watch to go on deck. His
request. refused., Patrick slowly descended,
but to return again and repeat his. request
with a similar, result. Descending again to
his duty, a roll of the vessel pitched him
headlong against; a boiler. This was too
much for the Hiberniai:i: A coucurrence of
misfortune seemed to overwhelm him. Ris
ing• slowly and rubbing his head, he ex
clahrted :
"Faith I an' a mauls life's In
Jip-pard-y (jeopardy) here."
Patrick had been heretofore and was` ever
after Monosyllabic _ ' Great occasions make
great men. and he Was equal to 'the emer
gency. To thoSe within hearing even in the
danger the effect was ludicrous in the ex
treme.

The West Indict/.
HAVANA, Dec. 2.7.—The government publishes
in the Gacela the following account: "After the
battle of Moron the troops found among the bag ,
gage captured from the insurrectionists several
jsirrof strychnine. Information previously re
ceived by the government stated that the drug
was to be used to poison the Spanish troops
throughout the Island."-, _
The official account of the battle states that
LI , " government troops came up with the revoln
tionisbr on Dec. 18, eighteen miles from Puerto
, They stormed the entrenehed camp of the
enemy and attacked them with the bayonet, and
the latter were routed, losing many men killed
and wounded. According to theofficial account
e loss of the Government troops was alight,
only one man being , killed and eight wounded.
Tholose - oftheretemlanot given It being - stated
only that 700 horses were captured.
The Cuban account of the affair says that the
Government troops lost heavily in killed and
wounded.
The revolutionists also deny the etatement that
the government troops captured all their arms
and ammunition.
The Gacela publishes a statement that the New
York El Crorsasta is not the organ of the govern
ment of Cuba. This declaration is made to de
fend the honor of. Spain and the dignity of the
Spanish Ambassador at Washington against the
attacks of that paper. General Ls Torre started
yesterday for Santiago with troops, to take com
mand of the eastern department.
The revolutionists have destroyed the light
house at Lucretin Point, thus endangering the
navigation of the Bahama Channel.
HAVANA, Dec. 23, via LAKE CITY, Fla., Dec.
27.--It Is reported that 800 filibusters landed at
'Bay Cocheros Santiago, on Dec. 18, and that the
government has only 1,800 troopi m that part of
the island, and that they are surrounded by
10,000 of the revolutionary force. The laborers
are without food, and are forced to join the revo
lutionists- Business is suspended and importa
tions stopped. The authorities are without
funds and pay nobody. Distress and gloom
everywhere prevail.
Martaxims, Dec. 20, via Lake City, Fla., Dec.
27.—The government force here, numbering 600,
is closely besieged. Occasional skirmishes take
place between the revolutionary forces and the
government troops, but Lead to no important re
suit. 'The government troops ' re euffering from
had and insufficient diet, and in consequence the
cholera has i broken out among them.
HAVANAI Dee. 25.—AdvIces from Hayti state
that Jacmel continued ciosely . besieged. On the
oth instant the garrison repulsed the Piquets,both
parties Sustaining heavy losses. Sainave's men
ot-war hover about the coast.. The revolution
ists are Confident of fortifying the interior.
The Entiterh. Question.
LONDON, Dec. 26.—A despatch from Athens,
dated December 24, says that the Grecian Cham
ber has voted the`money asked for by the gov
ernment, and also "grants" the government full
power to raise more if need be, and to ; make ex
traohlinarylevles of mod forth° army and navy.
Lormox, Dec. 27.—The Oriental question ab
sorbs attention. That a eonference will be held
is not absolutelv certain,'and, if held, sinister
results are foretold, predicated upon similar at
tempts at conciliation. Turkey declines to yield
the:independence .of or to make a sale of Crete;
to transter that island to Egypt, or to yield to
any other of the necessary bases of compromise.
Lord Clarendon, as was to be expected, adheres
to; -the old policy of Enilapil in re
; to Turkey. Napoleon and the
Emperor of Austria are undecided in their
vleWs, while it Is thought that Prussia leans , to
wardsl those of Roasts. It is certain that the
Gi,ueks Count littlb On;direct aid from. Russia, but
much on insurrections one the part of ' their own
countrymen in Turkey. The Cretans seem quiet
and indifferent. A manifesto from Garibaldi tells
them that the proclamation of bpain as a Repub
lic will bq the watchword 'for a new movement
On Rome; and exhorts them to be in readiness
for the event.. , • ,

LONDON, Dec.
26.-The Times has another long
•edltorial article on the subject of the Alabama
claims. It says: "The' people of both England
and America are uneasy, in regard to the relations
which are' to exist in future between the two
-Countries— Thls uneasiness arises from Ignorance
in
•of the true state of the negotiations now pending
on the Alabama question."
The Times believes that SecretarrSeward him
self obstructs the settlement, but that the ques
tions wlll-bo finally and amicably adjusted under
the incoming administration of President Grant.
Reverdy Johneott is not likely to be removed by
the new - administration; but will be permitted to
remain and complete . the work, already begun.
If Mr. Seward seeks to delay the settlement of
this important question he should be humored,but
the basis of-,the ; prectocol already =agreed upon
by Lord Stanley and Mr. Johnson must remain
fixed, and will sooner or later command the con
sent of both countries.

From the Memiphin Poet. I
The following particulars of an exploit of
the chivalry in this county, which occurred
last night near Bartlett's Station, a small
place eight miles from Memphis,on the Mem
phis and Louisville Railroad, will show that
our assertions are not based upon either pre
judice or presumption, but upon actual facts.
About 1 o'clock ' last' night the several
families of colored :people living. on Dr. W.
T. Pryor's plantation, about a mile and a half
above Bartlett's Station. were startled by the
noise of six masked prowlers, who suddenly
made their appearance among them. It ap
pears the marauders first visited the house
occupied by- an old colored man, whose head
was white with age, named Williford, and
demanded the whereabouts of W. H. Young,
a colored man, who had opened a school in
the neighborhood, the day previous.
Their hideous appearance and boisterous
threats to take the life of Young, if they
could find him, alarrned one of the women
sleeping in the house, and she shrieked a load
alarm, which awoke the slumberers in the
surrounding houses. The old man not being
able or - willing Wien the poltroons where
Young was,_they seized :him, without allow
ing him to dress himself, and forced him to
go out of doors with them and assist in find
ing Young. They had got -but a short dis
tance from the house when one of the young
colored men, named White, in one of the
other houses, , who, not being asleep when the
alarm ivas given, had rashed. - ont of the house
with his loaded revolver, secreted himself ,be
hind a well-curb, and ordered them to halt
and account for , themselves. -Being a little
apprehensive of danger, probably, the
scoundrels obeyed, and replied that they were
friends, and in search of lost goods, and
asked White to allow them to approach close
to him. White stubbornly refused, and
at once prepared to open fire upon
the party, one of which, in the meantime,
started towards him. Seeing there was no
hope for his own safety, he boldly "let sliver"
the cold lead. The villains, including the
old colored man whom their had kept fast
hold of, instantly broke and tan, with the ex
ception of the man at whom the shot was
directed, who stumbled to the ground, but
quickly recovered himself and followed on.
Though all this was done in the briefest time,
three more colored men, named Marcus Mil
ler, Nat Becton, and Ben . Martin, were on the
spot with their shot guns, and fired a volley
at the black gowned and cowled fugitives, who
glided desperately for the distant timber, for
getting their victim, who -took good care to
drop aside behind a neighborly shrub. All
the colored men hastened forward in pursuit,
but as the chivalry beat them in the• chase,
they halted, after going about a quarter of a
mile, and returned to their homes.
This morning upon reviewing the ground
they were ho little elated to fidd two masks,
a hat and shawl, well perforated with shot,
lying on . the ground in the wake of the
fugitives. Mr. Young, who was stopping on
an adjoining plantation, Upon being- in
formed of what had occurred, was, as can be
imagined, earnestly thankful for his escape.
The colored men who thus bravely de
fended their lives have set an example which
all should follow under similar circumstances.

ii . o IV SEM OLD RECK P.M
BY BARON BRIMS:
It is• excellent habit in family cooking to
serve up meat boiled in the soup with some taste
ful garnish. (It is of the first importance, for a
good soup, to put but very feW vegetables in pro
portion to the meat into the boiler.) Candidly,
even with mustard, boiled; beef all, dry is not lux
, ,
nrious.
Cabbage constitutes one of the best and simplest
garnishes for boiled beef.
Garnish t i f Cabbage.—Cut; the cabbage, wash it
carefully, then cook It with salt in;water. Drain
the pieces, then press them betWeenthe hands to ex
tract as much water as possible. • Put them In a
saucepan with, dripping and a little lard; moisten
with a few spoonsful of soup, season with salt
and pepper, and let them simmer in a corner
until wanted. • •
It was at the Monastery of La Trappe, in the
kitchen where they prepare the meals of visitors,
that I found the following mine
Potatoes a la Paeiine.' Cut slices of onion and
brow .1 them in butter,then mix in disco of • po
tato Ailed in water. Whett'well stirred together,
though without bruising, moisten with milk;
allow to boil five or six minutes, and serve. eA
little powdered ,sugar will improve the dish to
some tastes.
A substantial aliment; 'and very agreeable, re
sults from this simplest of preparations. There
are folks who say that monks are of no utility.
I cry them false, and sign my name to IL —Petit
Journal. '
—The recent riot at Stockholm arose, it ap
pears, on the occasion of the inauguration of
the statue to Charles 111., the people being in
dignant that special seats at the ceremony had
been set apart for persons favored, by authorities.
—lt is said that one cause of the decay of trees
in cities arises from:the constant trembling of the
earth from rapid locomotion. The effect of this
trembling is said to be a disturbance of the earth
around the.roots of the trees.
