" ON and after No 17th, 1866, Passenger Trains will run as follows : SUllUIIASlI I lire in San Francisco, and am a lock smith by trade. My calling is a strange one, and possesses a certain lascination, ren dering it one of the most agreeable of par suits. Many who follow it see nothing in it but labor think of nothing but its returns in gold and silver. To me, it has no other charms than the money it produces. I am called upon, almost daily, to open doors and peer into long neglected apartments ; to open the stubborn locks of safes, and gloat upon the treasures piled within; to quietly enter the department of ladies with more beauty than discretion, and pick the locks of drawers containing peace-destroying missives, that the dangerous evidences of wandering affection may not reach the eye of a husband, or father; to force the fustemnKS of cash boxes, ana depositories of records, telling of men made suddenly rich, or corporations plundered, ot orpuans robbed, of hopes crtithed, of families ruined. Is there no charm in all thin t no food for speculation? no scope for the range of f)leasaut fancy? Then, who would not be a ocksmith, though his face is begrimed with the soot of the forge, and his hands are stained with rust? But I have a story to tell not exactly a story, either for a story implies the com pletion m well as the beginning or a narra tive ; and mine is scarcely more than the introduction to one. Let him who deals in fancy write the rest. In the spring of 1830. 1 think it was in April, I opened a little shop on Kearney street, and soon worked myself into a fair business. Late one evening, a lady, closely veiled, eutercd my shop, and pulling from beneath a cloak a small japanned box, re quested me to open it. The lock was cu riously constructed, and I was all of an hour fitting it with a key. The lady seemed ner vous at the delay, and at lengtn requested mo to close the door. I was a little sur prised at the suggestion, but of course com plied. Shutting the door and returning to niv work, the lady withdrew her veil, dis closing as sweet a face as can well be im agined. There was a restlessness in the eye, and a pallor m the cheek, However, wtnen plainly told of a heart ill at case, and in a r L. r. i i... A t.. moment every emotion tor uer uuu (jivuu place to thnt of pity. Perhaps vou are not well, madam, Bnd the night air is too chilly ?" said I, rather inquisitively. 1 felt a rebuko lu her reply : "in request ing vou to close the door, I had no other object than to escape the attention of persons." I did not reply, but thoughtfully con tinued my work. She resumed; "That little box contains valuable papers private Capers and I have lost the key, or it nas cen stolen. I should not wish to have you remember that I ever came here on such an errand," sho continued, with some hesita tion, and giving me a look which it was no difficult matter to understand. Certainly, madam, if jou desire it. If I cannot iorget your face, I will at least at tempt to lose the rcccollection of overseeing it here. The lady bowed rather coldly at what I considered a fine compliment, aud I pro ceeded with my work, satisfied that a sud den discovered nartialitv for me had noth ing to do with the visit. Having succeeded, after much filing and fitting, in turning the lock, I was seized With the curiosity to get a glimpse at the precious contents of the box ; and suddenly raising me ua, discover ed a bundle of letters, and a daguerreotype, as I slowly passed the box to the owner. She seized it hurriedly, and placing the let ters and picture in her pocket, locked the box, and drawing tue veil over uer mcc, pointed to the door. I opened it, and as she passed into the street, she merely whis pered, "itetncmDer i" We met again, and have been thus par ticular in describing her visit to the (bop, to render probable a subsequent recogni tion. About two o'clock in the morning, in tnc "It is a labor common to youi calling," replied the lady. "The price is not so much for the labor, as the condition under which it is to be performed." . "And what is the condition?" I enquired. "That you will submit to being conveyed from and to your own door blindfolded." Ideas of murder, burglary, and almost every other crime, hurriedly presented them selves to my vision, and I politely bowed and said : "I must understand something more of the character of the employment, as well as the conditions, to accept your offer." "Will not five hundred dollars answer in lieu of explanation?" she enquired. "No nor fivo thousand." She patted her foot nervously on the floor. I could see she had placed entirely too low an estimate ou my honesty, and I felt some gratification in being able to con vince her of the fact. "Well, then, if it is absolutely necessary for me to explain," she replied, "I must tell you that you are requrcd to pick the lock of k vault, and " "You have gone quite far enough, madam, with the explanation," "I interrupted ; "I interrupted ; "I am not at your service." "As I said" she continued, "you are re quired to pick tho lock of a vault, and rescue from death a man who has been confined there for three days." "To whom does the vault belong?" I en quired. "My husband," was the somewhat reluc tant reply. "Then why so much secrecy? or rather how came a man confined in such a place?" "I secreted him there, to escape the ob servation of my husband. He suspected as much, and closed the door upon him. Pre suming ho had left the vault, and quitted the bouse by the back door, I did not dream, until to-day, that ho was conGued there. Certain suspicious acts of my hus band this afternoon convince me that tho man is there, laeyond human hearing, and will be starved to death ty my barbarous husband, unless immediately rescued. For three days he has not left tho house. I drugged him less tliun an hour ngo, and he is now so stupified that tho lock may be picked without his interference. I have searched bis pockets, but could not find the key ; hence my application to you. Now you know all ; will you accompany me?" "iotlie end ot tue world, on such an errand." "Then prepare yourself; there is a cab waiting at the door." I was a little surprised, for I had not heard the sound of wheels. Hastily draw ing on a coat, and providing myself with the required implements, I was soon ' at the door. There, sure enough, was the cab, with the driver in his seat, ready for the mysterious journey. I entered the vehicle, followed by the lady. As soon as I was seated, ahe produced a heavy handkerchief, which by tho faint light of an adjacent street lamp, she carefully bound round my eyes. The lady seated herself beside me, and the cab started. In half an hour it stopped ; in what part of the city I am en tirely ignorant, as it was evidently in any thing but a direct course from the point of starting. Examining the bandage to see that my vision was completely obscured, the lady handed me the bundle of tools with which I was provided, then taking me by the arm, led mo through a passage-way which could not have been less than fifty feet in length, and down a flight of stairs into what was evidently an underground basement, stopped beside a vault, and removed the handker chief from my eyes. "Here is the vault ; open it," said she, springing the door ot a dark lantern, and throwing a beam of light upon the lock. I seized a bunch of skeleton keys, and after a few trials, which the lady seemed to watch with the most painful anxiety, sprang the bolt. The door swung upon its hinges, and ray companion telling me not to close it. as it was sell lockinir, sprang into me vault. I did not follow. I heard the mur A I.10X IIOIIT. FROM 8ALATUIBL. Dismounting, for the side of the hill wns almost perpendicular, I led my panting Arab through beds of myrtle, an vcr lovely and sweet smelling bloom, to the edge of n alley that seemed to shut out every distur bance of man. A circle of low hills, covered to tie crown with thick foliage, surrounded a deep space of velvet turf, kept as green as the emerald, by the flow of rivulets and moisture of a pellucid lake in the centre, tinged with every color of the heavens. The beauty of this sylvan spot was enhanced by the luxuriant profusion of almond, orange and other trees, that in every stage of production, from the bud to the fruit, covered the little knolls below, formed a broad belt around the lake. Parched as I was by the intolerable heat, this secluded haunt of the spirit of freshness looked doubjy lovely. My eyes, half blind ed by the glare of tho sands, and even my mind exhausted by tho perplexities of the day, found delicious relaxation in the ver dure and dewy breath of the silent valley. My Arab, with the quick sense of animals accustomed to tho travel of the wilderness, showed her delight by playful bounding, the prouder arching of her neck and the brighter glancing ot ner eye. Here," thought I, as 1 led her slowly to wards the deep descent, "would be the very spot for tho innocence that had not tried the world, or the philosophy that had tried it, and found all vanity. Who could dream that, within the border of thi distracted land, in tho very bearing, almost in the very sight of the last miseries that man could in flict on man, there was a retreat which the calamities that afflict society might be as little felt as if it were among the stars." A violent plunge ot the barb, put an end to my speculation. She exhibited the wildest signs ot terror, snorted aod strove to break from me ; then fixing her glance keenly on the thickets below, shook in every limb. But the scene was tranquility itself; the cliamtleonjlay busking in the sun, and the only sound wus that of the wild doves murmuring under the broad leaves ot the palm trees. But my mare still resisted every effort to lead her downwards; her ears were flutter ing convulsively, her eyes were starling from their sockets. I crew peevish at the animal's obstinacy, and was about to let her suffer for the day, when my senses were pa ralyzed by a tremendous roar. A lion stood on the summit which I had but just quitted. He was not a dozen yards above my bead, and his first spring must have carried me to the nottoni ol the precipice. 1 he barb burst away at once. I drew the only weapon I had a dagger and, hopeless as escape was, grasping the tangled weeds to sustain my footing, awaited the plunge. But the lordly savage probably disdained so ignoble a prey, and continued on the summit, lash ing his sides with his tail and tearing up the ground. He at length stopped suddenly, listened, as to some approaching toot, and then, with a hideous yell, sprang over me, and was in the thicket below at a single hound. Tho whole thicket was instantly alive; the shade which I had fixed on as the abode of unearthly tianquility, was an old haunt of lions, and the mighty herd were now aroused from their noon-day slumbers. Nothing could be grander or more terrible than the disturbed majesty ot the lurest kings, in every variety of savage passion, from terror to fury, they tore, and plunged, and yelled, darted through the lake, burst through the thicket, rushed up the mils, or stood baying nnd roaring defiance against the invader. The numbers were immense, for the rareness of shade and water had gathered them from every quarter of the desert. Whilo I stood clinging to my perilous hold, and fearful of attracting their gaze by the slightest movement, the source of the commotion appeared in the shape of a Ho man soldier issuing, spear in hand, through a ravine at the further side of the valley. He MISCELLANEOUS. no tery was rjnlnablv unconscious of the formidable mur of low voices within, and the next mo- piace iDto which he was entering, and the ment the lady reoppeared, uud leaning upon gallant clamor of voices through the hills her arm a man, with face so pale and hag- card that I started at the sight.

While In Washiugton city, early in De cember, 1804, the writer of this article called on the President, with Isaac N. Arnold, 5en'br f Congress from Chicago, one of w iJ,ncom' moBt trusted personal friends, i i?", bim a,one in tle room wherein the Cabinet meetings are held (in the White House), whose windows overlook the Poto mac and Washington Monument. At the request of the writer, the President related tho circumstances of his clandentine journey between Philadelphia and Washington. The narrative is here given substantially in bis own wocds, as follows : "I arrived in Philadelphia on the Slst. I agreed to stop over night, and on the fol lowing morning hoist the flag over Indepen dence Hall. In the evening there was a great crowd where I received my friends at the Continental Hotel. Mr. Judd, a warm personal friend from Chicago, sent for me to come to his room. I went, and found there Mr. Pinkerton, a skillful police detective, also from Chicago, who had been employed for some days in Baltimore, watching or searching for suspicious persons there. Pin kerton informed me that a plan had been laid for my assassination, the exact time when I expected to go through Baltimore being publicly known. He was well in formed as to the plan, but did not know that the conspirators would have' pluck enough to execute it. He urged me to go right through with him to Washington that night. "I didn't like that. I had made engage ments to visit Harrisburg, and go from there to Baltimore, and I resolved to do so. I could not believe that there was a plot to murder me. I made arrangements, however, with Mr. Judd for my return to Philadel phia the next night if I should be convinced that there was danger in going through Baltimore. I told him that if I should meet at Harrisburg, as I had at other places, a delegation to go with me to the next place (then Baltimore), I should feel safe a go on. "When I was making my way back to my room, through crowds of people, I met Frederick Seward. We went together to my room, when he told me that he bad been sent, at the instance, of his father and Gene ral Scott, to inform me that their detectives in Baltimore, had discovered a plot there to assassinate me. They knew nothing ot Pinkerton's movements. I now believed such a plot to be in existence. "The next morning I raised the flag over Independence Hall, and then went to Har risburg with Mr. Sumner, Major (now Gene ral) Hunter, Mr. Judd, Mr. Lamon and others. There I met the Legislature and peo ple, dined, and waited until the time ap pointed for me to leave. In the meantime Mr. Judd bad so secured tho telegraph thut no communication could pass to Baltimore and give tho conspirators knowledge of a change of mv plans. "In New York some friend had given me a new beaver hat in a box, and in it bad placed a soft wool hat. I had this box in my room. Having informed a very few friends of the secret of my new movements, and the cause, I put on an old overcoat I had with me, and putting the soft hat in my pocket, I walked out of the house at a back door, bare-beaded, without exciting any special curiosity. Then I put on the soft hat and joined my friends without be ing recognized by strangers, for I was not the same man. Sumuer auu Hunter wished to accompany me. I said no, you are known, and your presence might betray me. I will only take Lamon (now marshal of this district), whom nobody knew, and Mr. Judd, Sumner and Hunter felt hurt. "Wo went back to Philadelphia, and found a message there from Pinkerton (who had returned to Baltimore), that the con spirators bad held their steal meeting that evening, and it was doubtful whether they had the nerve to attempt the execution of their purpose, i went on. nowever, as tue arrangement had been made, in a special train. We were a long time in the station at Baltimore. I heard people talking around, but no one particularly observed me. At an eorly hour on Saturday morning, at about the time I was expected to leave Harrisburg, I arrived in Washington. found to contain trichina, but to great extent. A third experiment was made with a smoked ham, and the animal eating thereof was found to contain an astonishing number of trichina, the examiner calculating tho number to have reached a couple of hundred thousand. The weight of the muscles of the rabbit was nearly a pound, and itisccrtainly remarkable bow so small an animal, contain ing so enormous a number of parasitical animals, nevertheless felt as weu as the other rabbits, and had as good an appetito as any of them. It became a query how so large a quantity of trichina could have de. veloped themselves from the small amount of meat which had been fed to tho rabbit, and the examiner therefore concluded that the rabbit must have eaten some other meat infected with trichina aside from that fed to it, thus causing a greater infection. This opinion was lurther strengthened by toe londness of the rabbits lor meat, borne ot tho rats found on the premises were therefore urn , j , i i . - . - viuuu nna examined, nnu iuuuu vo ccuitun trichina, and some of them in an astonishing degree. A number of other examinations of rata have taken place with the same results, and thero can bo no question that the rats are a great cause to infecting the hogs with trichi na. A very elaborate examination lias also been made to find whether the methods of smoking and Baiting as used here is sufficient to kill the trichina in the hogs, and the re sult has been, though smoking and salting would kill the trichina, the usual mode of boiling and frying was also found sufficient to kill the parasites. If a small rabbit can feel comfortable with a couple of hundred thousand trichina in its muscles, and that the rats which were found to contain certain trichina were as lively as rats well can be, the poisoning by trichina sinks down to a very small affair, if a littlo precaution is used. I trust our pork raisers and pork-consumers will not be over-alarmed, but cook, smoke, salt, boil and fry our excellent Ameri can pork as usual, and feel perfectly safe in eating the same. We have the trichina here, but people have got over the first scare, and cat as much pork as ever. We have no rinderpest or cholera in this country as yet.

The following is a copy of a despatch re ceived at tho State Department, from our Consul at Elsinore: Consulate of the Ukited States of America ai Elsnoiie, May 9, 1806. lion. F. W. Seirard, Attutant Secretary of Stale, Washington: Sir : From our American papers I notice that the question of trichina in hogs also commences creating some excitement in the States. The report or the terrible mortality in Germany, caused by the eating of pork infected with trichina, created great excite meut here, and many examinations of pork and bams, as well in the raw state as salted, smoked and cooked, have been made. From sKa natwsful manner In which these examina tions have been made, and from the published results, I am fully persuaded that pork i,.,r,.i,..l1v altfil and smoked, and well nr.nLi.il ia oji harmless as pork ever has been It is the eating of tbe unboiled or but very imperfectly smoked ana saitea meat, as sau sages, etc., so largely consumed in Germany, where the presence and danger of live trichi na may be expected. I shall take the liberty here to allude to few of the examinations which have been made hero, and their results, not so much because they may add anything new, but that they may be usetul In sustaining laci alrenrlv rvnorted UDOn. One of the first experiments was made with a amnkttd ham. which waa found to contain trichina in luccapsuiee. noiwuusiuuiun ham had been smoked and salted. Tbe finding of these trichina created a great non; ti.A limn and the noHce flually sue nternart cf the ham, " " O j. 1.U ,,m r.n.pim.nti VIArA at OI1CC U1SUO will. .-X. v .1.-11 i, fintail the minute ex uoiu, a auan v . - i .n;..iinn. hut merely give the. general ..if nA nnund of this bsm was fed to -i- . v.in,i. anamination had sst- P l9'TSt " r-Trrfeetly free from hum uo --" 7 -.f1(m by tbe Pig trlcmna. u . . - - with great avidity.

Eat while warm. Strawberry Dumpi.inos. Crust to bo mnrli" tlin same as directed for short enke ; roll half an inch thick ; put about a gill of strawberries for each dumpling. Bake, steam or boil half an hour. Strawberry Pies. Lino your pie dish with crust made in the usual manner: fill the dish with good ripe strawberries of me dium sizo ; sprinkle on a little flour and sugar iu proportion to the acidity of the berries.
