HOW IT IS CO0KFO IN E.CLAM, rHANCE SPAIN", CERSIANV AND AHEKICA. From the Qaeea. A facetious friend declared that. nltlmnMi he cared little for a .steak in the country, he liked a steak in town. The sublime idea of a beefsteak is by no means fixed, liy "'"S across me sea it enanges, it not its inherent essence, at any rate its phe nomenon or outward manifestations, and presents widely different features under va rious skies. In England the Icau tJcal is a rump steak, and the " point," when a noble fringe of fat encircles a plump triangle of lean, is most highly esteemed. As to the thickness to which these steaks should be cut. doctors differ. A large majority rules iu favor of a uuc sicuk, oui an intelligent and Toracious minority declares for a thickness of half or at most three-quarters of an inch, on the ground that steaks of this thickne-s require only " one good turn," and when broiled over a clear fire become equably cooked iiuuuguouL a cunuition ucemeu impo-wiMe in those of greater density. Like other mv blc entities, the " point steak" has his poor relations, the bladebonc stt-ak and buttock steak, both of which are but poor substi tutes iur a prime slice oi tne darkly-colored, finely-grained meat which adorns the rumn of a Highland ox. In choosing steaks trreat care sbn'nl.l 1m had to the color and grain. Pinky-looking liccf is always immature, and, if tender" tastclos; while coarse-fibred meat, albeit- iccasionallyol high flavor. lives; overmuch I'lcrci-e to the masticators, and i,moreover, apt to put a heavy strain on tho digestive or gans. Except in the case of very small .iiiqim urn, which aoounus in auijiose tissue, the rump steak should be endowed with a handsome margin of fat. It mn ! urged that few persons can consume the whole or even a part or this fat, and that therefore it is so much waste. Now. this is not altogether true. The steak is boneless, and can, therefore, carry a littlo waste, and, if not fat, is. rarely good. Perhaps the finest and mo-t perfect steaks I have ever seen were cut from Christmas cattle, and were not only fringed, but marbled with fat. !n these cases the apparent waste was considerable ; but the sublime sensations experienced in devouring the lean amply comtiensated for any lo-s incurred by an un due prorwrtion of fat. " After allj" as the cockney said to a country friend who was worrying mm aoout the price ol wheat, " a iwnny loaf always costs a iwnv." Soisa steak a. steak ; and if some little bulk must lie sacrihced in surplus adipose ti-suc, it " goes farther" than any meat known to the writer. Pcrhajs the principal reason why steaks ore so miserably cooked in most private houses is that no skill is shown in the management of the fire. . A good bright fire topped with charcoal, or, in default of pure carbon, with coke, will produce the in tense heat without smoke absolutely neces sary to cook a steak to perfection. The bars ol the gridiron should be thin, and not too close together. When these are tbornu"hly iicaicu tney snouiu ne ruDDeil with a little fat, and are then ready to receive the steak, which, alter being severed from the parent ruinp and trimmed should undergo no pre liminary treatment, save a slight dusting w itb pt-pper. alt should never be put upon the steak till it is cooked, as it causes the juices of the meat to flow ; and the steak should lie turncd.and only once turned, with a pair of tongs or a cou file of spoons, and should by no means be " prodded" with a fork. All hammering of steaks with cleav ers or cutlet bats should lie avoided, and the use of hideous contrivances resembling gi gantic" back-scratchers," for punching and clapper-clawing the meat to make it tender, should be eschewed. Turned only once and broiled for about ten minutes over a clear fire, the steak is cooked, and shonld then lie sprinkled with salt and served on a tremen dously hot di-h garnished with horseradi-h. Confirmed steak-eaters in-i-t that nothing beyond pepper, salt, mustard and horserad ish is needed with a steak, except a mealy tato and a slice of stale bread, but the diria of the-e rigid purists are often set aside in these degenerate days, and oyster sauce, fried onions, or sa'uc--Urnais are often served as accompaniments. Many gasmmom'-s like their plates rublied with a shallot, but more thorough-paced admirers ol this oderiferous bulb maintain that they had as lief " be hanged for a sheep as a lamb," and cover their lenk with actual sliallot finely minced. Hot horseradish sauce is also frequently eaten with a steak, and is an excellent companion to it. Mush room catsup is also liked by many, but should always lie made hot. I'hc sight of a human being deluging a prime hot steak with cold catsup arouses stormy emotions iu the lw-om cf a true steak-eater. Inferior in texture to the steak, but juicy and tender withal, is the beef skirt, an article seldom heard of. When intended for lioiling the skirt should only lie shinned on one side, and by those whose molars are not of the best, vi ill be appreciated its a singularly suc culent mor-el. Turning Irom the steaks of old England to tho- ol 1'r.ince, we find the resources of cookery culled in to help out very inferior raw iuateri.il. The French " bifteck" proper isgcncrally a toughish bit of meat, cut from no recognizable part of the animal, often over-cooked, and sur rounded with fried lotatoes far lieticr cooked than the meat. The French shine to better advantage in their treatment of the filet or undercut ol the surlom, and the f- trccoli or upper part thereof. 'Ihe filtl i i cut into slices, steeped in a maniuide of oil, vinegar, sliced onion-, spices, pcpr, salt, jarsley and sweet herlw lor a lew houTs, and is then broiled in the usual way. For a long w bile the enlrccotcs smgnantis were very fashionable in Paris, but periiaps the must glorified form of a French filt I is the Chateaubriand. 1 his is a nice piece of the " undercut," taken acro-s the grain, and neatly trimmed. It should Ije ol moderate, not exaggerated, thickne-s, and should not altogether resemble a pincushion. It must then lie sprinkled with pepjicr, coated light ly with oil, grilled, and garnished with po tatoes cut to the size of marbles, and fried in butter. This is the Chateaubriand jmr ct simple, but it is not uiifrequcntly served with sauee perigueui. The practice of cut ting steaks Irom the surloin prevails in America as well as in France ; but although the upper and under Tortious are often di vided into " sirloin steak" and " tender loin," the truly national practice is to cut clean through the bone and serve Iwth in one piece, which is then called a " porter-house steak." There is a story current " on the other side" to tho effect that on landing in New York, a geatleman of the Hibernian persuasion endowed with the lightnc-s of heart and language often enj jyed by the " Irish emigrant.," was enthusiastically re ceived by a jovial compatriot who, having enjoyed the free air ol -Manhattan for about six months, and being already a thriving citizen and a " good Democrat," invited his ' new chum" to cat a steak with him forth with, llushir.ir into a restaurant, he order ed a " double jiorterhouse," and was quick ly served w it h that fine species of the genus st"ak. " By the powers'" cried the new comer, ' to think my mother's son should cross the sa It sea to cat a mutton chop made 01 ocei : This Hibernian definition actually gives a perfectly clear idea of the famous " ortcr liouse steal.." These handsome cuts arc broiled, and often served with mushrooms, making a capital dish for at least two per sons. It must, however, bo admitted tint in America exist persons depraved enough not only to fry these magnificent steaks, but, like the man who eat asparagus at the w rong end, to pretend that they like them liest that way. sjpanisji notions of cookery are hardly worth quoting ; but for the sake of varie .y I may describe the P ninsular mode of treatment. Neat slices are cut from the und 2rside of the sirloin ; incnnwhilc a quan tity of onions chopped very finely, are put into a frying pan with a liberal allowance of buU( r, and allowed to take a slight color. The pan is then drawn lack, and tbe pieces of 1-cef, well seasoned with pepper and salt, put in and fried iu the butter. Served with the onions over, and a quantity of stewed tomatoes, theso fillets are very eat able when nothing better can be got. The vi'erxuan beefsteak is a very inferior produc tion. It w generally fried, is overdone, tough and tasteless inside, and oleaginous in its outward appearance. In Vienna it is not uncommon to mince the lieef finely, flavor it with pepper.salt, pounded onions, and chop ped parsley. It is then mixed with eggs to ' bind" it, and is formed into the shape of small steaks or cutlets and Incd m butter. The Saxom. mix one part of lean chopped jiork with two parts of beef, and proceed as above. None of these preparations, how ever, como strictly und.er the category of steaks. "Stay," he said, bis right arm around her waist and her face e tpectantly turned to bitn. "Shall it be tho kiss pathetic, sympa tlietic, graphic, para rrapbic. Oriental, in tellcctual, paroxy;ma 1, quick and dismal, low and ut.etunns. Inn? and tedious, devo tional, or vhat?" S.ha said perhaps that would be tuo better y. SERIES. VOL. XXI. Kfjsrr's Dream. IIOW UK. ICKVEEK ANTICIPATED DEATH. Max Adder has the following : Last December rny friend Keyscr dreamed one night that he would die on the 13th of January. So strongly was he assured of the fact that the vision would come true that he began at once to make preparations for his ueiarture. He got measured for a burial suit, he drew up his will, ho picked out a nice lot in the cemetery and bad it fenced in ; he joined the church, and selected six of the deacons as bis pall bearers : he also request ed the choir to sing at his funeral, and he got them to run over a favorite hymn of his to see bow it would sound. Then he got Toombs, tho undertaker, to knock together a burial casket, with silver-plated handles, and cushions inside, and he instructed the undertaker to rush out bis best hcar-e, and to buy sixty pairs of black gloves to be dis tributed among the mourners. He bad some trouble in deciding upon a tombstone. The man at the marble yard wanted to shove off on him a second-hand one, with an angel weeping over a kind ol a flower-pot ; but Keyser finally ordered a new one, with a de sign rercpscntiug a rosebud with a broken stem, and the legend, "Not lost, but gone before." Then he got the village newspaper to put an obituary notice of him in type, and he told his wife that he would be gratified if she would come out in the spring and plant vio lets on bis grave. He said it was hard to leave her and the children, but she must try and bear up under it. These aiUictions arc lor our own good, and when he was an angel he would come and watch over her, and keep bis eye on her. He said she might marry again if she wanted to, for, although the mere thought of it ncarcly broke his heart, ho wished her above all to lie happy and to have sonie one to protect her from the storms of the rude world. Then be and Mrs Key and the children cried, and Keyscr as a clos ing word of counsel, adiised her not to plow the corn earlier than the midjle of .March. On the night ol the 1-th of January there was a flood in the creek, and Keyscr got up at four o'clock iu the morning ot the 13th, and worked until night, trying to save bis buildings and his woodpile. He was so bu-y that he forgot all about its being the day of bis death, and as he was very tired, he went to bed early and slept soundly all night. About six o'clock on the morning of the lourtecHth there was a ring at the door-bell. Keyscr jumped out of bed, threw up the lrout window and exclaimed . "Who's there?" "It's me Toombs," said the undertaker. " What do you want at this time of the morning?" demanded Keyser. "AVant," said Toomb-. not rceoguizing Keyscr. "Why, I've broughtaround the ico to pack Keyscr in, so's he'd keep until the funeral. The eorp-e'd spoil this kinder weather if we did't." Then Keyser remembered, and it made him feel mad when be thought how the day had passed and left him still alive, and bow-be had made a fool of himself. So the corpse said : "Well, you can just skect around home again w ith that ice ; the corpse is not yet dead. You're a lectio too anxious, it strikes me. You're not goin' to chuck me into a sepulchre yet, if you have got everything ready. So you can haul oSfand unload." About half-past ten that morning the deacons came around with crape on their hats and gloom in their faces, to carry the body to the grave, and while they were on the front steps the marble yard man drove up with the rosebud tombstone and shovel, and stepped in to ask the widow how deep she wanted the grave dug. Just then the choir arrived with minister, and the company was assembled in the parlor, when Keyser came in from the stable, where he had been dosing a horse with ratent medicine and warm mash for the glanders, lie was sur prised but be proceeded to explain that there had been a little mistake somehow. He was also rained to find that everybody seemed to lie a good deal disapiiointed, jiarticularly the tombstone man, who went away mad, de claring that such an old fraud ought to be rammed into tho ground anyhow, dead or alive. Just as the deacons left in a bun", the tailor's boy arrived with the burial suit, and before Keyser could kick him off the steps the lmpers carrier flung into the door the Mormng Argus, in which that obituary occupied a prominent place. Anybody who wantsfigood. reliable totul stone that has a broken ro-ebud on it, and that has never been ued, can buy one of that kind at sacrifice for rash, from Key-er. lie thinks that bad dream must have been causc ed by eating too much sausage at supjier. Serptnt and Squirrel- A ZOOLOGICAL ROMANCE. Cincinnati Ecquirer. The recint ignominious defeat of a fero cious young lioness by an humble and ugly donkey in our Zoological liarden has a curi ous parallel in the result of a deadly comlnt Wednesday evening lietween a large diamond rattlesnake and a littlo squirrel during the snake exhibition over the Uhine, at o2 Vine street. The snake was one of the largest ol its species, six feet and a half in length, and having len without food for months was inclined to act on the offensive ; the squirrel was inexperienced in serpent warfare, but wonderfully plucky. On the whole, vo arc inclined to consider the pwr little squirrel as laving distinguished him self even more than the brave donkey whose prowrcss has been ably memorialized in mar ble by a Cincinnati sculptor. When the squirrel had been placed in the cage, the slimy-shining monster immediately sprang his rattle and coiled to strike; while the squirrel, having taken a good look all aronnd the cage, and lound escajie to lie impossible, prepared himself for the worst, watching liii glittering-eyed enciny with fierce resolu tion. The spectacle !ecame highly interest ing to the spectators, for the deadly ophid ian was contending with a far higher form of life, a liner organism, a more intelligent being, than the helpless creatures which or dinarily supplied him with food. Snake and squirrel alike poised themselves for the spring, the tail of tbo former vibrating so rapidly as to become almost invisible, and emitting a sound like the buzz of a brazen clock-work ; the tail of the latter trembled slightly, with tho tension of the squirrel's muscles. Suddenly a sickly gleam of livid white shot across the cage, and struck the squirrel below the neck, once, twice, with the rapidity of an electric flash. The spec tators cea-ed to laugh and whi-per ; the sight was too horrible liut the brave little squirrel did not shrink, or drop, lie sprang forward to meet bis terrible foe, and caught the writhing tail between his keen teeth. There was a crackling sound like the crush ing of chicken-bones, a hideously shrill hi-s, an agonized wriggle through the long speck led Doily, and tbe next instant the squirrel was wrapped in the coils of the serpent, while tbo fragments of the bony rattles fell on the flior of the cage, crushed into tiny slivers. l!ut the squirrel still showed no fear, although fie many colored folds tight ened about him, and the awful triangular head approached with wide-open juvsand needle-sharp fangs, and eyes in which tbe yellow iris-eircle seemed transforued totlame. There was another sickly flash of white, as the livid serpent-belly turned upward with the effort ot the last venomous stroke. The langs never reached the squirrel. He caught tbe speckled neck between his keen tecth,an inch lieiovv the deadly head with its horrible eves ; and the horrible eyes started out un der tbe pressure. There was anotter crack ling sound, another scries of ghastly con vulsions, and the horrible funged mouth oncned for the last time. The squirrel shook the reptile lietween his strong jaws until the clammy coils dropjied from about him; and then "flung the whole squirming mass from him. It writhed once or twice, half-coiled and lay still. It was dead. The squirrel immediately after became very sick, and dropped into a state of appar ent coma, thus giving the impression that it was dead. Hut it revived a little yesterday, and may possibly recover. Certainly every care should be taken of it ; foi a braver fight lias never been made by so helpless an animal against so deadly an enemy. The snake will be stuffed. No Onions Tuis Si'r.ic. A little bit ofa man, wearing a bilious looking plug hat and speaking in child-like tones, was conduclcd out, and His Honor looked up and inquired : "Why for, thou seedling?" "I'm .i prisoner, but I'm entitled to be treated w ith respect !" squeaked the little man, funding on his tiftocs and growing red in the face. "I'cspcctfully, your obedient servant, re plied tbe Court, waving bis hand around and letting it gently drop njion a seek-no-furtber. "I "won't be made fun of I tell you I wont "' squeaked the prisoner. "Fun ' fun '" repeated his Honor. "Sir, this is a serious world, with four pounds of heartache to one old-fashioned grin. No, tir I see no fun bcre. The charge is being drunk and raising a great row a very seri ous thing." "Who says I got drunk ?" squealed the little man ; "who says 1 raised a great row ? It is a conspiracy to get me out of the neigh borhood." "Prisoner at the bar," said his Honor when the evidence was all in, "now is the time to make a Fourth of July speech, if you are ever going to make one. If you have any evidence hurl it at me !" Silence. "Darius Worthingt l Jones," resumed the Court, after waitin. foran answer, "you arc chalked for sixty u.iys. You won't set out any onions this spring, and you won't lie around when the first circus strikes De troit. May-day w ill find you making chairs, and June berries will have ripened and van ished before we gaze upon your face again." Free Press. The Mrrrkorihc Schiller. The weather was fair and the sea calm at the Scilly Islands. Tuesday, so that tho wrecked steamer could lie approached without danger, lljats plied lietween the wreck and the shore, all day, and the work of recovering the dead liodies and saving the cargo was pushed with vigor. Among the corpses recovered were those of eight or ten women, all of which were identified. The Iwdy of Miss Ditnock, of lloston, was among these. The bodies havo been in terred in two trenches, each twenty-Die feet long, except tho-c of the cabin passen gers, whose friends have ordered them to be cniljalincd and returned to America. One of the jia-scngcrs, Mr. Stcra.says in a published statement At about 11 o'clock 1 succeeded in climb ing up the mainmast, where I was at least protected from the immediate rage of the waves. Toward midnight the fog cleared up, and I saW the light of l!L-bop's rock clear before us at no great distance, liut an hour after, it became dark again, and I could hardly distinguish anything but the white heads of the waves and the parts of tho vc-scl nearest to me. The third t fficcr kept firing rockets and blue lights, from time to time, as often as the rage of the elements permitted it, in order to secure help from tho shore. There were lights burning in tho pavilion, up to one o'clock; then suddenly there came a tremendous se.t that carried everything before itself, and swept the whole bouse, with all who were in it, mostly women and children, clean off the deck. One heart-rending outcry of many voices rose to the skies, then there was the silence of the grave. Many persons who had sought refuge on the bridge were gradu ally swept away by the greedy waves, at last al-o the car tain, who stood at his post like a brave man, as he was. At 3 o'clock in the morning one of the funnels fell and smashed our last available boat. Not long afterward a boat was low ered, but it was staved and broken before it scarcely touched water. Another and more fortunate attempt was made by three sailors, who got safely away from the ship's side, but thc-c men could not be induced to allow any others to get in. Soon after this, the life-boat was launched from the starboard side, with Polemann in command, but she careened over immediately, and caused tbe death of many of those w ho had got in. They succeeded, however, in righting her, and she afterward reached shore with ten r-ons, a-sUted by the first bait. In this boat was Mrs. J,icus. the only surviving woman. There was a tearful state of excitement and confusion on licard. Many of the crew and jvssengers were intoxicated, one of the officers having celebrated his birthday, that evening. Morning now began to dawn, and I counted about thirty persons hanging with rae in the rigging of the mainmast. The ship gradually went deeper and deeper and began to settle down on one side, so that the waves went over the rigging, lietween 0 and Ii o'clock, our mast suddenly snapped off, and we were all hurled down into the deep ; anil all, I believe, except me, who had saved themselves in the rigging, were either slain by the falling debris or drowned. Most of them were weakened by exposure and Iright to such a degree that tbey were un able to make the least further effort, and apathetically submitted to their fate. After being thrown down into tbe water I succeeded in catching two floating lieams, with the aid .of which I kept afloat, and was washed toward the cliffs. As far as I can remember, 1 had lieen in this condition lor alniuttwo hours, when 1 saw a boat at last. 1 cried for help. They heard nie, and in a few minutes 1 was saved. The boat which saved us was from St. Agnes island. Opt. Thomas deserves the highest prai-c in every respeet. An ublc seaman, courage ous and skillful, he did everything he could to a-sist those whis-c lives were entrusted to him in the hour of danger. One of the most singular and touching in cidents connected with the failing ol the Schiller was that concerning Mrs. Cavcrly and her daiigliter,Amy, who were travelling in com 1 any with Mrs. Kidgwuy and Mr. Walter. Henry J. (ielien, the master painter of the Eagle company, ls?ing detained by business on tbe steamer, remained on board until it reached Sandy Hook, where the pilot left the ship. Mr. liclien uceonipanieJ the pilot. He bad liecomc acquainted withMrs. ami Mi-s Caverly, and they, forewarned by some mysterious presentiment, were anxious to leave the vessel on the pilot's lni.it. They were dissuaded, hovvcver.by Mr. Walter and Mr. (ielien, and determined to remain, al though their trunks were packed and ready to lie carried on deck. They sent letters to their friends, whoTCside in East Forty-third street, by Mr. (ielien ; and. as be descended to the pilot's boat, tbey called out that they would "never see the Highlands again '" A sad incident of the wreck was tho blot ting out of tbe entire fimily of C. W. Wal ter, ol New York, who, with his mother-in-law and his motherless little girls, were lost. Mrs. Walter was educated at the Agassiz school, near Iijston, and was a woman of line mental culture. She accompanied her father and dying si-tcr to Cannes and Italy, a few- years ago. Shortly after their return with the sister's body, her father broke down with grief and died ; her own health fail ing, she was accompanied by her husband and children to Lugano, Italy, where she also died. Mr. Walter brought the remains to this country, and devoted himself to the education of bis children. He gathered into his own household his wife's mother, and Mrs. Caverly and her daughter, the lomicr a cousin of his wife's father, and daughter of Judge Crosby, of Lowell. An old colored servant attended on the family, she having formerly lieen a slave in the Kidgeway fam ily, who were Southerners. This household ot seven persons, including the negro ser vant, Mr. Walter took with him on the ill fated S 'hitler, as well for the health of his children as to visit tbe scencor their mother's death. Chri-tina Jones, the only surviving wo man, states that she was about to retire for the night with her husliand when the fir-t shock occurred. They lwth ran on deck and jumped into a boat just licing lowered. The lioat was full of water and without oars. She drifted around in it for two hours, until she was finally picked up by Polcmann's lwat. She was unable to give further details, having been in the boat filled with water for ten hours. A IkoE Suvnic and a Hawaiian Soncstkess. Miss Adelaide Miller is a native of the Hawaiian Islands. She is gifted with a voice of superior sweetness, and is called the "Hawaiian Nightingale." Miss Miller is, moreover, as good a sw immcr as she is a sing er. Miss Miller was visiting some friends at Wai-kirki, a fashionable watering place near Honolulu. The place is al-o the sum tner residence of the Hawaiian kings, but that fact has nothing to do with the story, except to show that Miss Miller was doubt less in the best company the islands afford. The lieach is always swarming with bathers. It is considered safe within the limits ofa certain reef, but the daring adventurer be yond the reef might as well make his yr her will in fayur of the nearest fish. The Hawaiian songstress was bathing in company with several of her dusky sisters. Tho girfs commenced daring each other to swim to the reef, and finally the songstress started, followed by the others. It was a pretty race, and the wonder of the other more timid bathers. As they approached the dead-line the sweet voiced in the lead some men in a passing canoe shouted wild ly, "Jlano!" niano!" The girls knew well enough that meant "shark," the true blue man-eater. There was a roll of water which broke the regular surges of the sea. A huge shark rose to the surface, and lifted Miss Miller on his back. That was tbe saftcst place for her now, and she grasped tbe shark s upper tin to keep uer scat Iirmly on the monster, lie, probably terrified at human audacity, skimmed on the surface of tbe wa ter at liglitingspeeu lor aoout sixty yaros,anu then, getting tired of his burden, shot down BURLINGTON.

Now, the course of tho fish was directly toward the American coast. Miso Adelaide Miller took the hint, and soon left for Cali fornia to sing and make her fortune. Tbe adventure with the fish made her exceeding ly popular at home, for many of the Pacific and South Sea Islanders regard the shark as a sacred animal, and never kill one except in s"lf-dcfcnce. MisS Miller's having taken a r o on a shark's back consecrated bcr, and she lecame to them divine. She is now the Hawaiian diva, and we may one day lie treated to her song. m:itr. ami tiii:iii:.

Have you ever made a bargain in Naples? I have been eyeing light cashmere suits for three days past, and this morning made a purchase, the nature of which I shall never ccasj to marvel at. An Italian friend hav ing volunteered to assist at tho ceremony, a entcrod a gentlemen's furnishing estab lishment, the proprietor of which greeted us w ith fiatcrnal warmth. What would I have ? Only command him, and I would he served with the utmost expedition. I wanted a light suit, such as a fcilow might wear through a hot month, and then throw out of the window. Ah, jes ' ho had tho very article; and with that he rolled tho clerk off from the counter, where he was sound asleep, and pulled down an avalanche ol rcadj-madegarments Tney were not stylish, but they would do. I selected what seemed the least objectionable of tho lot, and ap proached that delicate subject tho price thereof. Iigppo beamed upon me; 1 don't know what his name was, but it might easi ly have been Iteppo. Iteppo said: "Only 70 francs for that complete outfit." It struck me that thj prico was reasonable, and I was about to settle tho bill, when my Iriend plucked mo by the coat-slccye, with an ex pression of horror, and exclaimed : "Yuu must never pay the price asked you; make him an offer !" I wondered if he would feel insulted w ero 1 to suggest 03 francs as a fair bargain. Again my iriend saved me from a di-graceful sacrifice. "Offer tho fellow thirty," said he. I offered thirty francs, and expected to be stabbed on tbe spot. Hut no ; licppo thought it a cruel thing for so excellent a gentleman as myself to thus rob turn oi 'tne tincst suit ol clothes in Naples at that figure ! He would take fifty francs and nothing less, at which announcement be did the clothes up in a parcel. "Make it thirty-two francs and stick there." This was tbe la-t utterance ot the monitor at my elbow, and when I obeyed orders with the calm deliberation of ona who proposes to fight it out on that line, poor liepoo burst into tears and plead hi J cause. This was too much for a man with a large family aud no mean stomach ; he might, owing to tho fact that he had secretly admired me ever since my arrivul in Naples, make it -10 Irancs, but friendship, unselfish and undj ing friendship, alone prompted thegencrous act' t ith that announcement mv Iriend took me by tho shoulder and walked mc out of the establishment. We didn't go far; we tarried about the threshold for a moment, and 1 w as once more seized and walked back agaiu, wbilo lieppo embraced me tenderly and cried with much emotion : "Take them for 35 francs take them ; I am u ruined man, but I would not have you go into the world naked and forlorn fur tbe sake of a few sous !' Feeling by that time that I was quite a brute, I resjlvcd to brass ituut, und, therefore, put down my 3J francs, which lleppo received without a murmur. A trag edy in five acts could not have so worked upon my ftclings asdid thepictureof lieppo weeping in the midst of a numerous und starving family, and tho picture haunted mc as 1 lelt that unhappy spot. A moment later lieppo was at my side begging that I would allow him tho price oT a gias- ol w inu only six sous 1 It was conscience muncy, and was freely given; but as 1 turned the corner close at band, lieppo wasstill watcb ing me, and I saw then that there was a twinkle in his eye that seemed to say, "After all this slopping I have tbo best ot you, my boy." 01 course the cloth is pasted together, and tho buttons put on with starch; but time is fleeting, and perhaps 1 shall rise into cooler latitude in s-ason to savo myself.

A few days ago a stalwart negro, named UeuDen (ierter, went to have bis lor tunc told by a female southsaver. She told him ofa great inaDy things, and mentioned incidentally that ho was a murderer. This was enough. When the vvords w ere spoken he lhd with alt speed. Then eamo certain men who had a. ready recognizjd Ueuben as one who had killed n man at Augusta, and who wanted him. Tae chase was taken up, and, though a stern cbase, didn't prove longer than filtecn miles out uf town. Jleu bca (Jertcr was examined before the authori ties und there confessed the murder. He is now in jail at Oramcburg. It was a very dramatic and remarkable affair. That fortune-teller undouotedly "bad points" on the man, and used them in a way which she thooght ought to build up her trade im mensely. Two sailors, the one Irish, the other Eng lish, agreed reciprocally to takecarooreacti other, in cae ot either being wounded in tbo action then about to commence.

He was the colleague of the man who breaks paving-stones with his fist und ol the man who swallows a sword a saltimbanijue. or juggler, known as "tho man with the fleas. " Jean Lesillia, Vhom me aui puces, was a decided character. For many years be exhibited his learned fleas throughout France, making them do u num ber ot astounding feats. Among other thing, be marshalled them into companies, mas-ing theni much like soldiers, then turned them into burses, and made them draw a liny chariot across a table. It was really wonderlul to see tho seeming intelli gence of thjsc insects. One day Vhommc aux puces was going through bis perlorm ance at tho Cli-hy Fair when a big dig rushed up mid seized him by the calfof the leg. Jean Lisillia had ordered his fleas into their box, and held it in his hand. The nip of the dog at bis leg mado him turn in haste. and in his right lie dropped his baxol lleas. Their natural instincts made them jump up on the dog for sifety, and at tbe same mo incnt their master gave the dog a vigorous kick, which sent bim howling away. It was not until he saw tho dog running that he comprehendid the loss of his pets. Tho crowd began to laugh in tho heartiest man ner; but it was no laughing matter to Jean Lesillia. His occupation was gone ; bo had been despoiled in a moment of bis means ot earning bis daily bread lor himself and chil dren, and the poor lellow sank down upon the ground weeping like a child. A crowd is ulways touched by such exhibition of feel ing, and a subscription was taken up, which, alter all, amounted to only oue day's re ceipts. It required a year's bard labor to train a new lot of fleas, and Jean Lesillia had not the means. When he bad first done so be was a single man ; nonr he was mar ried and tho father ot several young chil dren. He turned rag-picker, and during tho past winter worked as h chiffonnier to support his family. liut the life did not suit him, and chagrin and the severity of the season soon brought hiui to bis grave. 1I died in his modest garret.

The Scandal Trial. . DOWEN'S TESTIMOXr. Of course the testimony put in after the closing of tho evidence in chief on each side, is mainly by way of contradictions of witnesses that have testified before. The amount of such contradictions on tho two sides is absolutely mountainous. One of tho great sensations of the trial was the appearance of Mr. II. C. Bowcn, who was called by Mr. Tilton's lawyers. Mr. Bowcn has been regarded generally as the possessor of many secrets about tho Brooklyn scandal, which he kept locked in bis own breast, only occasionally giving oat muttering ofa storm which, if he chose, he could cause to burst. The fact that he bad not been called before by.cithersidc, caused much comment all over the country, and it has been asserted that be knew so mueh that neither plaintiff nor defendant dared to summon him as a witness. This intensified the public desire to hear his testimony. Mr. liowen on the stand seemed very nervous and his face was flushed. Tbe lids of bis deep-sunken eyes seemed red and swollen, and be frequently wiped away tears, al though in bis evidence there appeared noth ing that might have been expected to cause him to weep. His tears gave way to sniUes several times, caused by the wrangling among tho lawyers over the form ot the questions to lie put to bim. His answers were given in a nervous manner, and his voice was thin and bard, and sometimes it trembled. He carried a package of large, well-filled enyelojies, Irom which he selected various documents as tbey were called lor. He appeared to have made full preparation for appearance as a witness. Mr. lieechcr attended closely to the testimony of Mr. liowen, and at times appeared to be musing over his statements. Mrs. lieechcr, whose demeanor in the court room is usually cold and impassive, sat with her fiDgers on her lips and her eyes fixed on the witness. At some of Mr. liowen's statements she turned with an expressive smile and wbi-pcred to her busbaud, who made notes, and occasionally spoke in a low voice to some of his counsel. Those who prefer the oath of Mr. liowen to that of Mr. Bcecher, have now an opportunity to be lieve that Mr. lieechcr did not adii-e Bowcn to discharge Tilton from the Independent ; and of course that Mr. Beechcr bad no occasion fur remorse ou that account. Mr. Biwen swore llatly that Mr. Beecher had said nothing whatever about Mr. Tilton's di-charge. Mr. liowen aLso testified that tbe trij-arute covenant bad lib connection whatever with his j-aymentof $7,000 to Mr. Tilton. He denied" that be had ever seen the Tripartite Agreement, or any lurt of its text, before the settlement by tbe arbitration of his difficulties with Mr. Tilton. He lusitively denied that at the announcement of the award Mr. Claflin bad said that " they bad made up their minds to burn all the papers connected with the scan dal, that Mr. Bjwen should pay $7,000 to Mr. Til ton, and that they should sign the Tripartite Agreement." Afterward Mr. Bowen qualified his denial by saying that there was conversation in the room among knots of persons after the award was made, and Mr. Clatlin might have uttered the words referred to, but not in bis bearing. " Well, Sir," said Mr. Evarts, " how many knots could yuu make out of five jieople ?" " Three at bast," replied the witness. Mr. Bowen denied, moreover, that he had asked to hate Tilton's " Woodstock letter " returned to him. He al-o, in a qualified way, denied that he bad made certain statements to Mr. Egglcston. lie frequently, during his cross-examination, made use ol the expres sions, " it may have been so," I don't re collect." etc. Mr. Bowen was on the stand during near ly the whole of Thursday. Mr. Bowen did not reveal, if be j-ossessed, tbe great secrets that it has been i-upularly supj-o-ed that he knevy about the Brooklyn scandal, and tho general effect produced by his testimony was disappointment. sirs, woodhill's visitors.

A fre-b chapter in the history of the Tow er of Indon was begun on Saturday, when for the first time the grim fortress w as thrown oj-eu to the public.

The priv i legc thus conferred by the Government upon tbe public cannot be too highly estimated by those who value freedom ol access to our few historical show-places, and the present Prime Minister may lie sure that when the people come to consider bis claims to their popular ity bis action in this psriicular matter will not be overlooked. "If prison walls could only speak, what tales ot mystery and hor ror they would relate '" We often bear such a phra-e quoted with reference to some dun geon or castellated fortress who-e gray stones are mouldering into dust But we do not ask that the walls of the Tower of London might speak, fur, thanks to such intelligent students as Mr. Dixon, we know almost as mueh uf the Tower's history as the ancient stone walls themselves. From tho days of the Conqueror, tbe tyrannical Norman King who caused the famous military architect. Gundulpb, Lishop of Uocbestcr, to build tho Middle Tower, down to yesterday, we havo the complete story of the Tower liefure us. And w hat a marvellous narrative it is ' It should be written in blood. Every inch of the ground, every foot of masonry is associat ed with soaie cruel deed, some tyrannous act. To use the words ol that Countess of Somer set who, with her husband, poisuned Over bury and subsequently occupied the prison in which be had been confined, the place is "full of tho ghosts of the dead." Theso spectres confront the visitor at every step and will not be shaken off. In the White Tower, with its watch-towers at each angle, and its walls fifteen feet thick, was imprison ed Maud, the third daughter uf Earl Fitz waiter, that stout baruu who, to avenge the KiDg's treatment of his child, compelled him to sign Magna Charta at Hunnymcdc. Here, in a dungeon compared w itb w bich the Black Hole at Calcutta woull be a palatial resi dence, was imprisoned Guy, or Guido Faw kes; and here was the prison home of the seven bishops, at whose knees even the sol diers of tbe guard fell, imploring their beno diction, while tbe shore was crowded by prostrate sjectators asking a blessing. The iersecuted prelates were lodged in the Earl of Leicester's Tower, where Heriot first ob served the satellites of Jupiter. Tbe sun dial ol this famous astronomer yet remains, and the story of Heriot and "the three magi," as his companions were called, is by no means one of the least interesting episodes of the Tower, In the Bloody Tower, called the Garden Tower until tbe murder of the two little princes perhaps the most tragic and, pitiful incident in the annals of the fort ress Cramer, Latimer and Ridley held their conference, asking only a Bible from which to get counsel and instruction in their bour fo aired.

Memories of those ill-fated zreat ones rise I everywhere, and it does not require overmuch imagination to conjure up those dread morn NUMBER 47. ings when Raleigh passed out of his little room to the block, and when the executioner waited with his glittering axe on the green for patient Lady Jan Grey, who wis lolg td in the house where now resides Mr Ilughes, the Yeoman jailer. Indeed, we walk upon stones which cover piles of royal and noble dust, that of the un fortunate Earl of Monmouth among the rest ; and then, issuing into tho fresh air again, we find ourselves gazing at a little slab in the centre of a railed-off space, placed there by the Queen, in memory of Anne Boleyn. It was on this green that royal and illus trious persons were executed. Now, the constables of the Tower are installed there, and very shortly such a ceremony will lie witnessed. Of the bloody scenes enacted within the precincts of the tower century, after century nothing now remains but their memory. Tne scaffold, the masked head-man, with his shining white axe poised on his shoul der, the little knot of soldiers, the priest, and doubtless cruel eyes gazing from some turret-window upon tho grim scene, the sharp cry ot agony from the.victim's lipsof these things naught exist but their written memorial and the storied walls of the fort- From the Wocslatock Standar-1. Vermont and Canada Hearing. L The hearing before Cbansellor Barrett, Wednesday eyening, was attended by quite a number ol lawyers and others. The con test is between the minority of the stock holders of the Vermont and Canada as ora tors and the majority of tho stockholders as defendants. F. A. Brooks, of Boston, ar gued tho case on behalf of tbe orators and Hon. C. W. Willard.ol Montpelier, for the defendant majority. The original agreement between the Cen tral Vermont and the Vermont & Canada lor the sale of tho latter road to the former company was satisfactory to the stockholders of the Vermont & Canada, and indeed Mr. Brooks himself, as Mr. Willard stated in his argument, is entitled to tho credit of bring ing it about. But subsequently tbe Central proposed to impose new conditions,and with regard to these conditions there arose an honest difference of opinion among the directors of the Vermont & Canada. Fi nally tbe question was submitted to a vote of the stockholders on the 2Utb of April, who by a majority vote assented to the new conditions, whereupon the minority petition lor an injunction to prevent the consummation of that portion of the trade contained in tbe following clau-o of tho memorandum of agreement : " Now it Is a-rreed, by the parties hereto, that the said Vermont x Canada Railroad Co.. on receipt of said bonds will efier tbe lime in eaehan lor the stock cl said Vermont a Canad-i ltilroa Co., and procure such exchanges as far as practicable aollar lor dollar, and withhold from any owner of said stock who shall neglect or decline to cxchine his stock: for bonds any interest on his portion of said bond! which mi) como into hands 01 the Vermont & Canada Railroad Co., as well as alt diridecda on such stock, until such owner or owners ot stock shall ezchanze the same for bonds as aforesaid, un less compelled by jud'-nent of court to do other wise. The counsel for both parties enlarged somewhat upon the history of all the pre liminary negotiations, but there was no contest as to the facts. Mr. Brooks main tained that the proposed condition was clearly inequitable and illegal, if not fraud ulent, and while he would not impute any intention of fraud on the part ol thcCentrul he still feared that they would have tbe op portunity in tbe futuro to work great in jury to tho stockholders of tho Vermont and Canada. And he would suggest that this attempt to set control of the stock of the Vermont and Canada might bo in the interest of individuals in control of tbe Cen tral and operate to relieve them of all per sonal liability in the accounting now pend ing under tho lease of the Vermont and Canada. It is clearly the object of tbe Cen tral to get the stock in order to control the company for purposes of their own He did not consider it at all legitimate or neces sary that thev should acquire tho franchise ol the Vermont and Canada, which they can do only by getting posse-sion of the stock. He denied the right of the corporation, which is the representative, to coerce tho stockholders who are the principals. When the Central get control of the stock they may destroy or cancel tbe bonds not ex changed at their pleasure to the great in jury of those stockholders who do not be lieve it for their interest to make the ex change. Judgo Barrett sugge-ted significantly that it the proposed condition operated as a discrimination between tho stock holders it was clearly illegal and inequit able. Mr. Brooks insisted that the effect was just this, to siake a discrimination. It de nies to the stockholder the right of inde pendent judgment in the control of bis ow n property and compels bim to exchange fur a thing he does not want or suffer a loss of all rights and benefits by virtue of his own ership. He cited numerous authorities and among them two cases where Judge Bar rett himself delivered the opinion of the court. Mr. Willard in answer read from the charter of the Central Vermont, granted in 1S72, and which authorizes the consolida tion of tho two roads and grants the right to purchase, own and operate the roads con stituting the line. The intention was to get these roads out of chancery and make the property of some, value to the owners. For a long time no dividends have been paid to the Vermont and Canada under the lease of its road to the Central. There is no question that the Vermont and Carfada corporation have tbe power to sell their road lor bonds. These bonds be come the solo property of the corporation. What will be done with them? Each stock holder can have his proportion in exchange lor his stock and voluntarily. There is no discrimination in that, lie did not under stand that any collusion between the ma jority of its directors and the Central was eharged. Tho directors wero acting in good faith lor what they believed to bo the best interests of all. He admitted that uu cannot compel a stockholder to surrender bis stock any more than any other property, but he held that thi- slo.'khnlder has his remedy in this case full and complete. Suppose all should re fuse to exchange. Ihe dividends would be paid over to tbo Vermont and Canada cor poration and become their property. True, under tho contract, thev were bound not to distribute the funds so received to the stock holder, but ho thought that betore this ac cumulation went on a great while the courts would find a way to a proper distri bution. Tho property is not to be injured or destroyed and the legal rights of the stockholders to share in its benefits remain in spite of this contract and can be enforced. Knt hp did not see tbe necessity ol raising the issue now. It is like crossing a bridge before you get to it. All parties admit tho desirableness of tho sale but differ as to this cUnso. Should tho court interfere now it would undoubtedly prevent the consumma tion of the trade and deprive all, both ma jority and minority, of all income from their property. It is time to meet this question ut the individual rights of stockholders when it aroso, and ho would maintain as stoutly as any one tho mvioiaoiutv oi loose rights. Judgo Barrett asked Mr. Brooks if he de sired to orealc up tne traue raiuer kuii iu mi limit tn this condition or stipulation and he replied that he did, believing that it would bo fraught with great micbief. This matter of numberless individual suits was what he wished to guard against, and he believed it to bo tho duty of tho court to step in and prevent such great wrong. The Free Press, after citing some very convincing facts from the Chittenden coun ty jail, puts in a strong plea for one or more woranouses. anis is, wimuui uuuu., tho IrnB remedy. Gov. Steward recom mended it and Gov. Peck has urged it upon the legislature.
