NEWS AND MISCELLANY. Modern Romances. L indon Pouch is taking the “Aurora FTovd,” “No Name,” “Tangled Bkein,” etc. , school of literature Very amusingly, jo the publication, in weekly parts, of a “tale of the times,” called “Mokean na; or, the White Witness.” It is illus trated in l the Pre-Raphael style, so much affected just now by the London weeklies, by way of euhsneing the wierd interest of these startling tales, and, of i curse, the great requisite, a bigamy, is now wanting to mak the satire complete. Here is a specimen: Sir Lionel’s carriage is at the dcor. “Farewell, mta Bettina,” l.e said, pressing his wife to bis heart. “I shall come back when I return.” “I doubt thee not, Lionel,” was his weeping lady’s reply, and the coach man, having embraced the calm but emotional butler, ascended to his seat in the rumble, and the vehicle vas soon to view. Two girlish figures approached. “Mamma,” they cried, “will you not trust ns now?” “I will,” replied Lady Bettina. “Ag nesis; come Evelina.” They entered the “Brown Study.” “Listen,” said Lady Bettina, “to my secret. Before I married Sir Lionel I was young and lovely.” Tbe lid of Agnesia’s lovely eye trem bled as she looked towards her sister. Evelina, a proficient in the French tongue, murmured "gammon" in her ear. Without noticing their emotion the mother pr “4 weddt-d one William Barlow, a man beneath my station iu life. Seized with an original idea that my rich brother did not need bis money, I in* duced Barlow 10-.to’’—she faltered. Agnosia quickly pressed her delicate hand from one lobe of bur exquisitely moulded ear to the other.* “Yes,” continued Lady Bettina, re assured by her offspring's sympathy. “The property became mine. William Barlote, however, was obliged to fly the country. A warrant was out agaiust him, at d iu bis absence he wan ar raigned, prosecuted, and found guil ty-”. - “Sentenced?” inquired Evelina, lean ing forward. “Aye, and, such is the vaunted jii3- tiee of English law, executed!" . A groau ct horror burst from their pale hps and Lady Bettina hid her face in a variegated band-tnna. “Knau timaiafter thia,”Lady Bettina went ou, “I mat ried Sir Lionel, who ytiUrday luR rua. d mo that his wife was still living. He has gone away to seek her. 1 hope soon to have tidings of her decease.” “M imtna,” said Agneaia, “we, too, have xomewhat to confide in you.

Tua Waryabk oftuuHt. Louis Ponca ok Gambling Hocat.fi.—The St. Louis Democrat of Friday has the following: “The war of the police on the gambling houses bravely od. The enemy still held out, bit with reduced numbers and a scanty supply of anitnuniiion. The splendid mahogany furniture, ivory chips, and solid silver far<» boxes that formerly adorned the den of the tiger have been reduced to ashes by the irrepressible raiders, ami in their stead are rough pine tables, clay ships, and tin boxes. Since Capt. Kohl bund took the eomand of the raiders, over SG/OO worth of furniture, &c., has been captured and destroyed. Last night Capt. Kohlbrmd, Sergt. Gore, and tbe infantile Con. Duffy, with his inevitable axe, started out on a raid. They marched to old No. 54 Fourth street, controlled by Oliver Obey; and found the front doors fastened. As the raiders reached tbe house, Martin Connallin came up and in a loud voice shouted “Police 1* to notify tbe gam tilers that the Piiilistines were upon them. Con nallin was immediately gobbled, and lock ed up on a charge ot vagrancy. Duff/, with a Uow or two of his axe, knocked the door in, and the storming party entered. At the head of the stairs was another door, fastened on the inzide with an Iron bar, Duffy, with two or three swings of his axe, knocked it from the hinges, and sent it thundering down the steps, tiergt Gore aud his party entered by a lutck door, but the gamblers had fled liy some m cret pas sage, and the only prisoners captured were two young men from the country, two colored men, and Obcy’s little black and tan dog. The appearance of the room showed that tbe gamblers had left in great haste. Chairs were upset, chips scattered on tbe floor, and the faro box and $27 in money remaided in the drawer. The dealing-table was an old greasy pine kitchen table, covered with a piece of dark cloth. The property taken was of small value. The two men from the country were released, and told to go home and be good boys. The raiders next made a des cent upon the keno house at the corner of Fourth and Elm. Kohlbund entered at the front portal and Gore at the rear. About 20 garni lers were surprised and sent to the calaboose- The furniture was of the cheapest kind. The tables were rough pine, and the keno box was made of cedar, and the cards were of a cheap kind. The table was spread, and the supper was nearly ready. Capt. Kohlbund, on enter ing annonneed that “keno was correct,” and ordered the men to keep their seats- Some of them looked very sheepish All the gambling implements were taken and destroyed; but their value was small, and one night’s business will replace them A singular accident from burning fluid occurred in New York on tbe 22d inst. It is thus recorded: - Coroner Schirmer yesterday held an inquest on the body of Frederick W. Elberling, who was employed as assist ant engineer at the Gramercy Park Ho tel. On tbe 12th inst., Elberling was directed to thaw out a frozen gas-pipe, by applying cloths which bad been steeped in boiling water. Instead of doing this be took a lighted caudle and a can of alcohol, and pouring some of the alcohol on tbe pipe, ?et fire to it. The tire communicated to tbe can of alcohol, which exploded, and the burn ing fluid was scattered over Elberling, burning him severely. He then leaped into alarge tub to extinguish tbe flames, but unfortunately turned on the hot water instead of cold, fatally scalding, bimsrll.

[From the New Vork San, March 4 ] Od Monday evening about fifty gen tlemen assembled at the Everett House at the invitation of Prof. John Gamgee, of London, to apply the test of the pal ate to the results of a new process in vented by him for the preservation of meats. The party on being ushered into the dining room found a neat re past before them, and among their dishes, as set forth in the bill of fare, mutton iu various styles served up from carcasses slaughtered three and four months ago. This mutton coming from England, was no donbt of choice quality; but all seemed to admit that it was sweet and palatable, lacking only, perhaps, the lively, juicy flavor of the fresh article. Tbe color of tbe flesh when cooked is strongly pink, which, however, soon fades on expos- ure to the atmosphere. Alter tbe viands had been disposed of, Prof. Gamgee arose, and with a few prefatory remarks, described the process of preserving the meats which had just been eaten, together with the objects in view which had led him to make his experiments. The process is briefly as follows: A dose bag containing carbonic oxide gas is thrown over the head of the animal to be slaughtered, whan partial asphyxia quickly ensues. The animal is bled to death, and bleeds well. The body is then hastily dressed, and, while still warm, tbe parts to be preserved are placed in an air-tight iron case, into which carbonic oxide gas is introduced. A small compart ment connected with the case contains chnrooal, which has alre dy absorbed a certain quantity of sulphurous acid gas. These materials penetrate tbe fibre of the flesh, and arrest fermenta tion and decomposition. The special province of the sulphurous acid gas is to combine with every particle of the oxygen in the remaining air, and thus render the case practical'y air-tight.— The Professor stated tb»*t the presence of a considerable degree of heat would be no detriment to tbe process, and hence it could be successfully complet ed.iu a warm climate. The deaigu.is to* bring the vast cattle region of South America and Australia at tbe doors of the populous cities) of the world. For tbe present, operations looking to a full test of Professor Gamgee’s process* will be conducted in Texas, whero a marketable steer is valued at about $lO. It is said, by tbe way, that tbe Texan beef is of superior quality, ow ing mainly to tbe peculiar juices of the mezquit grass of that region. It ought to be mentioned that not only all kinds of meats, but fish, fruits. &c., according to the Professor, can be preserved in like manner. £!onjugal Affection.—A Nantes pa per publishes the following extraordi nary story: “A farmer was found hanged by hid fireside. Suspicion fell upon his wife; she was arrested; and when questioned by the mad' the following affectionate confes sion: ‘Well, in faith, there’s not much to be told. Going homo last night I found my husband by the side of the fireplace trying to hang himself; the rope was already round bis throat. As he had already told every one that be was determined to bang himself, I en- Tleavored very naturally to assist him by passing the other end ot tbe rope over a rafter, and pulling as hard as I could, until he was su-pended in the air.’ Judge; ‘Yon contest, then, that you strangled your husband?’ ‘Yes, a little, but not quite, because he pulled the rope also. Besides, j knew the poor man was tired of his hfe. I was well aware that I should be arrested; but before you send uie to pns in I beg you will let me attend my poor husband’s in neral.’ Tbe same authority adds: ‘lt is needless to s.iy that the desire expressed by this excell ent wife and fervent Christian was fully appreciated by tbe court, but not com plied with.* ” Woman’s sphere of usefulness is ex tending. In lowa, the state senate has passed a bill, admitting women to practice at the bar. A correspondent states that when this bill b comes a hw the male lawyers will be overborne in addressing juries by the resistless elo quence of <*oman, and recommends that in self-defense ladies be admitted to the jury box, as “it takes a woman to read a woman.” In Great Britain, a society has been organized which is called “North of England Conned for the Higher Education of Women.” The object is to furnish good tests of the competency of governntsses and other women above eighteen years of age,en gaged in teaching for a livelihood, in order to elevate tbe vocation of teach ers into a profession.
