A wide cook-kitchen, with a breath of grape blossoms coming in at the open windows, and a glistening tin pan on the table full of dewy, scarlet straw berries waiting to be hulled this is our soeue; and our dramatis per some con sist of Mrs. Perkins, whose drowsily clicking knitting-needles, keep time to the purr of the overgrown Maltese cat, and a pretty young girl with rather a flashed face, who hsd just entered from a doorway leading to the hall. "Well," said Mrs. Perkins, looking up with that ineffably wise expression which is imparted to the human ootintenauoe by round silver spectacles perched obliquely on the bridge of the nose. " he ain't asleep, is he?" " Yes, he is," was the answer. " Glory be thanked for that, at least," H d Mrs. Perkins, apparently impaling hrrs -If on a long knitting-needle, which, however, entered harmlessly into the 'iorn sheath that she wore at her side, e icasod in a scalloped red flannel There will be Ave minutes of peace, at loist.. You're tired, ain't yon, Dora?" " Yes," said Theodora White, " I am rit'ier tired." But her languid voice spoke plainly that the more accurate phrase would have been " very tired." Theodora White was a tender, soft eyed girl of eighteen, with a complexion f pearly clearness, and a rose.apieoe on her cheeks a girl with a pure, straight uose an 1 a dimple on her chin, and a pretty, pleading way of looking at you when she spoke. She sat down beside the window, where the inignonnette scented grape blossoms were swaying in the summer air, nod leaned her forehead against the casemout. Mrs. Perkins eyed her with an owl like glance of sympathy. "It's a shame, so it is," said Mrs. Perkins, emphatically. "A mau hasn't no business to be so tryin no, not if he was sick forty times over ! Soold, snap, snarl this ain't right and t'other thing is wrong ! That's the way he keeps it up. I'd as soon wait fcu the 'old boy himself." Theodora smiled faintly, and arched her evebrows. "Why, Mrs. Perkins, you don't mean to compare my Uncle Joseph with so obnoxious a personage as you allude to ?" she said demurelv. "Well," said Mrs. Perkins, reflective ly, "they ain't so unlike, after all. I declare, sometimes, when he gets in his tantrums, I've two minds and a half to crive him a good shakin'.

"Yes, aud that's jest what's a spiliu' him. He knows very we ll that if he was to want the moon, you'd hunt up the 1 ingest step bidder and try to reach it down. It al'ays did spoil children to let 'em have all thev waut.and your Uncle Joseph ain't nothiu' but a grown-up child." " But I don't let him h ive all he wauts, Mrs. Perkins." " Aud a pretty kettle o fish there'd be if you did. Humph !" aud the. .old housekeeper pouueed upou her ball as if she had, for u moment, identified it with the personage under discussiou. "It mightn't be such a bad idea," said Theodora, after a moment's thought ful silence. " Be you crazy ?" demanded Mrs. Perkins, tartly. " Hash !" Theodora started from her seat with uplifted finger. "He is awake ; he wauU me." And she was gone, swift, noiseless as a white-winged dove, before Mrs. Per- kins could volunteer to go in her stead " Yes," said Mrs. Perkins to herself, " it is a shame. He seems to thiuk she's made of cast iron andludia rubber the old torment !" With this rather illogical expression of her opinion, Mrs. Perkins resumed her knitting more vigorously than ever. Meanwhile Theodora hastened up stairs into a closely curtained sick-room, where a querrulous old gentleman lay, tortured with a greut dual of "hypo" aud a very little actual illness. But Uncle Joseph White chose to believe that he was very ill ; aud who, pray, was a better judge of the state of his bodily health than himself? He screwed his f ice up into the seui .. .Llkiof a nut crabber a Ian niwe hnr- riedly entered the apartment and came to his bedside. " I've been thumping ou the floor till my arms nre ready to drop out of their Rockets!" ho groaned. "Aro you all deaf down stairs ? or bus old Perkins forgotten there is any one in the world but herself ana her s'nuff-lox ?" "I'm very sorry, uncle" " Actions spenk louder than words!" snarled Uncle Joseph, ungraciously. How do vou feel now. Uucle Joseph ?" asked Theodora, soothingly. I " I'm worse !" " Are you ?" 'Tnlse higher skiu hot face flush- ; ed ; of course I'm worse. This con- i founded hot room is enough to throw i any one into a fever ! Open every door ; and wiuaow omen I Without an instant's hesitation Tbeo i dora unbarred the blinds, and threw open the four large windows and two ! doors. The light from the western sky ! steamed like a flood of fiery radiance i into the room ; the draft, whirling through, caught up newspapers, flutter I ed the leaves of looks, and even upset j Uncle Joseph's pet bottle of medicine, i "O-w-w-wI" roared the sick man j with vehemence, that proved his lungs ! at least to be quite free from disease ; j " do you want to blind me to blow me away f " "You told me to do it, Uncle Joseph !" "Shut the windows, quick draw the curtains !" groaned Uncle Joseph, " Who's that battering down the door !" "It's only a very gentle knocking uucle." " Then, I'm liervotiB. Go aud see !" Presently Theodora returned. " It's Major Crowfoot, iincle ; he sends his compliments, aud wishes to learn how yon are." " Tell him to go to the deuoe." "Yes, uncle." ; Well," said Uncle Joseph, as his niece returned to his bedside after a mo mentary absence, " what did he say?" " He seemed very much offended, nuclo." " Offended ! at what, pray ?" de- manded Uncle Joseph. " I suppose at being told to go to the deuce !" answered Theodora, quiet- " Girl," ejaculated the invalid, raising himself half-way upon his elbow, " yon lidn'ttell him that?" " Yes, I did, uncle. You said your self, Tell him to go to the deuce.' " Mr. Joseph White fell back, flat aud notionless, among his pillows. " Theodora, you are a fool I" "I'm very sorry, uncle," said Theo dora, beginning to whimper. Uncle Joseph stared at her in sur prise. Could it be possible that the dreary days and weeks of her steadfast attendance had weakened her intellect and turned her brain ? "Give me my water-gruel," he said briefly, after a few moments pondering over the unwelcome possibility. Theodora brought in a neat little hina bowl, with a silver spoon lying on the snowy, folded napkin that flanked it ou the tray. Uncle Joseph took one taste, aud I f i i petulant threw down the spoon with a sound not uuhke a bark. "Tjrash, trash! Insipid as dish water. Throw it to the pigs !" Theodora took up the bowl and started obediently for the door. " Here, here !" roared Uncle Joseph. Where are you going to ?" " To the pig-pen, uncle." "Are you crazy, girl? The gruel's well enough, oily Mrs. Perkins forgot the nutmeg.' " But, uncle," said Theodora, tasting daintily of the contents of the bowl, " it's insipid as dish-water." " Will you allow mo to have an opin ion of my own ?" snarled Uucle Joseph. " It's very good, if that old crone down uTAipa ton a.i.i r Ll I U ..... .l.V the nutmeg ana give n ! anouier lion. un: u"" m. ux goiuug ' hungry !

" A little grated antuieg in this gruel, and uucle would like it warmed up once more. " f " What are you smiling about, Dora V" "Was I smiling ?" "Your eyes was, if your mouth . wasn't," said Mrs. Perkins, keenly. "Will you -be as quick as you can, j Mrs. Perkins?" said Theodora. " He i says he is hungry." But when Theodora re-entered her i uncle's room, the invalid had taken another tack. "Why didn't you stay all day?" he growled. " Indeed, uncle, I hurried all I could," ' pleaded Dora. " Here's the gruel, all ; ; smoking." But Uncle Joseph shook his head. rt.'n too late ! I've lost all mv ! j appetite !" he moaned Won'tyou have the gruel, uncle?" "No, I won't!" And Uncle Joseph closed his eyes, as if to signify he was too weak to debate the question further. He waited anxiously for Theodora to press the question further, but she did not; and presently he opened his eyes the least little bit iu the world. " Theodora !" "Sir?" "I'll try just one spoonful of that grnel before it gets cold." "Why, uncle, I threw it away.". " Threw my gruel away! gasped the sick man, breathlessly. "You told me you did not want it, undo." "I told you so! FurieM and tiddle- htruigs ! I eu migiu Know iy uns nine . - - - , that I don't mean what I say. Get me Homo more quick ! If I liadu't been bedriddeu for a year, I could go twice as fast as . you do !" . he added, grumblingly. "I never saw such a snail in my life. Oh, dear ! to think I shall never walk again !" Uncle Joseph lay counting the seconds until his niece brought in a second bowl of gruel, thiB tinin so delieionsly made that even he could not find fault with it. ' Uncle," said Theodora, as she set it on the table at the bedside, "the doctor said, yesterday, that he really thought, if you were to try, you could walk as well as anybody! The doctor s a tool, said uncle Joseph, " and yon may tell him so with my compliments !" "I will, uncle, the next time he comes." "Theodora!" "Hir." " If you do, I'll disinherit yon !" " Very well, uncle 1" " Theodora, you'll have to feed me. This annoyance has weakened me terri bly !" - "Yes, uncle." ' ' Stop stop it's hot you're chok ing me !" But Theodora kept resolutely on. " Sto-o-pl" spluttered Uncle Joseph, nimbly scrambling to the other side of the bed. What do yon mean, Theodora? Didn't I tell you to stop ? I don't believe there's an inch of skin left ou my throat!" "You told me yourself, uncle, that you don't mean what you say. now was I to know that this was au exception !" An irate rejoinder trembled on Uncle Joseph's tongue, when suddenly he caught sight of a blue column of smoke wreathing up under his window. " What's that smoke ?" be ejaculated. " I thiuk it's Mrs. Perkins, sir, putting fresh kindlings ou the kitchen fire." " No, it isn't !" yelled Uncle Joseph, " the house is ou Are 1" Theodora dropped the spoon and bowl aud rushed out of the room, shrieking, i " The house is on fire I help ! murder ! j thieves !" The servants belw the stairs caught np the cry and echoed it in shrill dismay. Uncle Joseph listened with bristled hair and dilated eyes. " Help ! help !" he bawled, but no one responded. Louder still he yelled, but yet in vain. "Am I am to Blay here in my bed to be burned to death ?" he asked himself, and scrambled out with agility that fairly surprised himself. The servauts were arrayed ou the lawn, staring in all directions to find the exact locality of the fire, when the gardner uttered a shriek. " If there ain't master, as hasn't left his bed for year, a ruuuin' as if a tiger was arter him !" "Where wheie's the Are?" panted Uucle Joseph, gazing wildly around him. Mrs. Perkins rushed to the front door, her cap-strings streaming. "I never saw such a pack of born idiots iu my life !" she gasped. "There ain't no fire only a few pieces of green wod I put in the kitchen fire ! One woi,i think vou'd never seen smoke I afore, and why, if there ain't master!" j "Theodora,'5 said Mr. White, look iug somewhat sheepish, " where did you Bee a fire ?" "I didn't see it, uncle, but you said the house was ou fire," Theixlora made answer demurely, "and of course I thought you must know. Please, uucle, go back to ged again." "I won't T'said Uncle Joseph, gather- I iug the skirts of his wrapper closer ' about him. " But, uncle, you're sick." "No, I'm not !" ; " Uncle, do you really mean it V" ' " Of course I do, Theo ?" And he did mean it. The cure had i been effected ; and Theodora mentally congratulated herself on the snccess of I her plan of treatment. And Uncle i Joseph never ailuded to the day on ! which his niece had taken him so ini i plioity at his wgrd. Faslilou Notes. Black torchon lace is the latest nov- elty.

Commander Rodgers of the United States steamer Adams writes to the sec retary of the navy from Sandy Point, Straits of Magellau, giving an account of a mutiny among the soldiers and cou victs at that place. He says : It ap pears that the plan of the mutineers was to take ioB8ession of the German steamer Memphis and go off in her, or failing in that, to take the Pacific Steam Naviga tion Company's steamer then about due from Valparaiso. I got under way with all despatch, and arrived here (Sandy Point) on the evening of the 14th. Ou the way up the guns were loaded, as well as the small arms, and all prepara tions made for any emergency. I found the Chilian corvette Magellaueo already here, having come down from Skyring Water, where she had been employed surveying. I went ou board her aud found the governor of the colony there. aud have since gathered the following particulars of what seems to be the most terrible mutiny on record, so far as num bers are concerned. It appears that a1out midnight on Sunday, Nov. 11th, the poople of the town were alarmed by the discharge of artillery and firearms. The first murder committed seems to have been that of the captain of thecom- Eany of soldiers, numbering about one uudred, who were regular artillery troops. They mutilated the captain iu the most horrible manner, aud then opened tire with several pieces of artil lery upon the governor s house, directly in front of the barracks. The governor, upon making his appearance, was knocked in the head and left insensible He, however, recovered after some time, and made his escape to the country. His family also escaped, almost naked, to the woods. The mutineers then re leased the convicts, aud altogether num bered nearly 200, armed with Winchester and Spencer rifles. During Monday, Nov. 12th, the mutineers seemed to have committed the most incredible ex cesses in the way of wautou killing, burning, and sacking. On Tuesday, Nov. 13th, the mutineers deserted the place and took to the couutry, carrying with them all the public funds aud much private property. The last heard from them was that they numbered ninety four armed men, and were about two days' march from here ou the way to Santa Cruz. As a last act of destruc tion, they bnrued all the publio property oud a number of stores ; in fact, the best part of the town is in ashes. 'Upon my arrival the streets were strewn with the dead bodies of the killed, thirty of which were gathered up. Most of the killed were soldiers, who had beeji shooting each other indiscriminately. It is estimated that at least fifty persons were killed. Many dead and wounded were burned in the buildings. The hos pital was burned with five wounded men iu it. liiza Pacha. Itiza Pacha, reputed to be one of the richest men in Turkey, who died at Kadikeni not long ago, was in some re spects a remarkable man. He was originally an Arab slave boy. He was brought to Constantinople at the legin ning of the present century, and rose to some of the highest offices iu the 'State, having been six times minister of war, thrice minister of marine aud thrice grand master of artillery. He held office at various critical periods of Turkish history, aud was at the head of the war ofilce during the Crimean war, during the Syrian massacres aud European occupation, and during the insurrection at Crete. He was decorated with many orders at various times, having received the highest Turkish orders of the Os- I manie and the Medjidie, the Persian j Order ef the Liou and the Sun, the ; orders of the Bath, of the Legion of I Honor, of the Austrian St, Leopold and the Irou Crown of Italy. Strauge to say, although he knew a little French, he never succeeded iu mastering any Enropeau language, but spoke Turkish and Arabic flueutly. Notwithstanding his wealth he was not ostentatiously cnaritaoie. jus goou ueeus, it ne 1 performed any, were doue in secret.

Iteceutly five travelers started about one r. m. from the Cantiue of Prez, iu Switzerland, for the great St. Bernard, Snow was falling thickly, and a violent north wind was blowing it along in blinding clouds; still, notwithstanding the remonstrances of the proprietor of ' the cantiue, they determined to continue i their iournev. Nitrht overtook them at the bridge of Mudry, about an hour's distance from the couveii.. Three of the party soon after became so exhaust ed that they were uuable to proceed, but the others staited for the hospital, where they arrived about three a. m., having mistukeu their way and wandered 1 ultout several hours iutiiedsik. The 1 monks immediately set out for the res- cue of the other three travelers, taking I with them their dogs aud a good supply I of restoratives, and, after some hard work, they succeeded in discovering I them one dead, and the legs and urms of the other two frozen. One of the two ! survivors died shortly after his removal to the hospital, but the other ik in a fair I way to recovery. FARM, U1MFN AND HOUSEHOLD. iMHrrrnt Vrv ef Preparing t'abbnar. A lady writes the l'ai'hi Journal : An excellent cold shiw i made by shreddiug a solid head of cabbage with a thin, sharp knife or a slaw cutter, then placing the cut cabbage iu your dish, pour over it a dressing made by heating a pint of vinegar scalding hot, then beating into j it quickly one beateu egg, with a lump i of butter as large as-a walnut, and ai tablespoonful of sugar. The cabbage ! should be tlnuly sprinkled with salt aud pepper as it is put in the dish. To fry cabbage, chop or shred quite fine, have a spider hot on the stove, in which is a small qnantitv of butter or meat drippings, season and put in the cabbage, and cover tight, stining often aud taking cre it does not scorch on the spider. Cooked in this way it is very sweet aud nice. Cabbage makes a nice dish also cook ed, by dropping into salted loiliug water, and when taken out, minced fine with a knife, then pouring over it a dressing made by taking a piece of butter the size of au egg, aud a coffeeenpf nl of boiling water; cut up the butter with a half-tea-cupfnl of flour, aud stir it gradually in the hot water. When it ImhIs, stir m a dessertspoonful of vinegar, aud a dust of pepper, with a little salt. For the sance, thick sweet cream is au excellent substitute. For hot slaw, prepare the same as for cold siaw, cook tender, aud pour over the dressing, or merely season with vinegar before dishing up.

Foul t'ilem nine and ( tiff. The principal cause of the disagreeable i odor of cistern water is stagnation, or the motionless condition it remains in I for long periods of time. Springs, j streams, clouds aud all fresh aud salt j bodies of water are in almost-continual ' j motion constantly receiving aud emit heat, cold and mineral sub ting air, stances, and changing position, form or density. Thus the Almighty keeps this fluid pure, healthful ahd invigorated. But in tightly-covered cisterns- the re verse of all this is measurably true. Except as t he water is moved by every rain storm pouring in, or every pailful drawn out. the mows of liquid is silent, motionless, aud soon becomes staguant, putrid, dead. In a short time a coat of filthy sediment covers the bottom aud sides of any and every cistern. The cistern cover excludes the rays of the sun that would hasten deeomposi- j tioii. The supporting and surrounding , earth also keeps the water at a lower temperature, and tends to disinfect aud protect it in a heulthy condition. Any mechanical contrivance that would pro- duce motion aud aeration that would j mingle pure air with the stauding water might preserve it in nearly its normal condition. But this would be expensive and, generally, impracticable. There fore, have two or more small, cheap, lenient, brick or stone cisterns in, or, better still, outride, of every farmer' house. If one of these small, cheup reservoirs, that will cost less than a year's tobacco or liquor, is, iu warm weather, emptied and washed cleau every two or three mouths, rain water, com paratively pure, will generally be ready lor every day use.
