.4 STORY OT SHII9KE.
About twenty years ago, the health of
Mr. Edward L , an English clergy
man, hoi ng in a precarious condition, a mor
al and physical languor—that grave Eng
; lish malady which comes xve knuxv not how
or why—he decided to cross the Channel
and seek under a milder sky the pure air
and sunshine which he needed.
One tine day he embarked for France.
He stopped some days at Rouen. Every
morning he made a little trip in the sub
burbh, carrying under his arm a volume of
Dante, (hie afternoon he climbed Mount
Saint Catharine, and seating himself on
the grass, began to run over some pages of
the Diviua Uomedia. At this moment, a
stranger, who had a!>o climbed the hill,
approached him and asked of him in Eng
lish, with the greatest courtesy, permission
to converse with him a moment.
'•I wish to perfect myself in your lan
guage." said he, smilingly, "and I seize the
opportunity to talk every time I meet an
Englishman.*'
They talked a little about every thing—
the weather, Dante, religion and polities,
ihe Frenchman was well instructed and
very amiable. He informed Mr. L
that he was one of the physicians of Rouen.
Learning this, the young minister related
his case to him and asked his advice.
The doctor examined him carefully and
wrote him a prescription. They descended
together to Rouen, where they separated,
one to go and pay his visits to his patients,
the other to enter an apothecary shop.
Next day Mr. Edward found himself
better; the doctor's prescription had done
him much good, lie had gained more
strength in one hour than during a month
of previous treatment.
He wished to thank the doctor, and re
proached himself besides with having offer
ed him nothing in return for his consulta
tion. He went again instinctively to Mount
Sa.nt Catharine. -V moment after he was
rejoined by the Frenchman. They both
burst out in j - -yous laughter, and pressed
each other's hauls as though thev were old
a . - jiiaiutances.
"l'ou have saved my life, doctor," said
Mr. Ed an!, warmly.
i'heu he t >uched timidly the question
| of money. ihe doctor closed hi- mouth
at the hirst word; dec'aiing himself amply
remuneratod'by the success of his ptescrip
ti .n ttij.i the joy of his patient.
"Dx-tor, said Mr. Edward, "I am an
Engli-hm ai, and consequently 1 do not
kite the weight of an obligation; eau I not
l>e of use fo you in some WHY ? I start to
morrow ;;t one o'clxk in the morning, tor
Paris, and 1 am at y >ur sen ice "
Afier a moment's reflecti-jn, the doctor
-til:
"No—it would be an abuse of your good
nature."
The Englishman pressed him so perse
veringiy that the doctor finally -aid:.
"1 have many patients under treatment
at my house. Among them is a very rich
deno:-ei;e, whose ideas are a little deranged.
I thiuk I shall sueceo lin saririg her. Un
fortunately, since about a month she h;is
taken it int > her head to return to Paris.
I have employed ail means to dissuade her, 1
but without success. I see th it there will
be neither truce nor repose until her ca
price is satisfie 1. I have put oft'the jour
ney with her from day to duv. because I
have many patients in tne citv which it is
difficult, impos-ibJe, even, for me to leave,
were it only for a single day."
Edward L saw that he had been a
little too fast. But how could he draw
back now !
p "Diabie, said he a demoiSelle, and crazv
m the bargain."'
'•Never mind that" said the doctor,
smiling; "this demoiselle is in her forty
sixth spring, and furthermore your word
crazy is perhaj s a little exaggerated. In
any case her madness, if madness it is. i
of the mil lest rem. i give vou tnv word
of honor that in this re-pect sue will give
you no trouble "
"Well, so be it! So at oue o'clock in
the morning
"Perhaps yes, perhaps no; the hour is a
little material. I am not sure that the
demoiselle will be ready."
While they were talking thus thev;
reached the urates of the city. Before sep
arating, the doctor handed hi* card to Ed
ward L .
"And now au revoir till to-morrow- morn
ing, or perhaps adieu; it is quite possible
that we shall not see each other again."
Mr. S watched the departing doc
tor with an embarrased air The idea of
taking a mad woman to Paris was not a
very smiling oue. He glanced at the card
and read: Doctor do La Belle, rue Anto
ine, No. 12.
Mr. L happened to be cl®se to this
xen street, and curiosity led him to it. No.
12 was a tine house, with a brilliant door
plate, on which could be read: Doctor de
La Belle. *
Arrived at his hotel, he asked the waiter
if he knew - M. de La Belle.
"1 think I do, Monsieur; he is the best
physiciau in Rouen "
At one o'clock in the morning. Mr. L
was promena-iing anxiously in the waiting

GOUD2RSPORT, FOTTER COUKTY, FA.. TUESDAY NOVEMBER 27, 18u5.
w* surar-.* 1 — twi.m. jg A rw. - —i vi wj*:
j room of the depot. M. de La Belle did
not appear. The English minister was
1 rubbing bis hands with a great sigh of sat
isfaction, when he felt himself touched on
the shoulder; it was the doctor. A lady
dressed iti black was seate 1 on the bench,
\ with a thick veil over her face. Mr. L
kept up a good heart against his ill luck.
' "I have taken a whole coupe." said the
doctor to him, "so that you will not be in
• commoded by other travelers. Here is
Mademoiselle's purse; perhaps she may
need something; here is.her ticket, also,
which you xvil! have the goodness to show
L to the employee. I kolegraphed to Paris,
last evening, to the relatives of Mademoi
: selle, begging them to send a carriage to
1 the train when it arrived. I have told you
' that she is as gentle as a dove; if she should
have a moment of weakness, you have only
' to give her a lump of sugar moistened with
two drops of this syrup."
And he handed him a little phial, with
the purse ami ticket. During this time he
had lifted the demoiselle somewhat roughly
into the car. lie remained there till the
last moment, warmly thanking Mr. L .
■ Finally the bell rang, the minister entered
the coupe, coming out again soou, and ex
claiming—
"What a strong odor there is in there!"
"It is nothing," said the doctor; "it is a
bottle of Eau de Cologne, which I broke in
helping Mademoiselle enter the car."
The train started: Mr. L placed
himself afthe back end, where he was sep
arated from the demoiselle in black by a
box of flowers. He tried to open conver
sation, but seeing that she did not reply,
lie arranged himself for a nap. lie awoke
several times; the demoiselle, always with
her veil down over her face, remained mo
tionless. At last they reached Paris.
"Mademoiselle," said the clergyman, "be
good enough to wait a moment; I will go
and call the coachman who is waiting for
you."
He looked a long while, but in vain. He
could find no one who had come for a
demoiselle from Rouen. He returned, much
vexed, to the demoiselle, when to his great
stupefaction, he saw an anxious crowd sur
rounding his car. He a ;vanced.
"Is it you who came iu this coupe?" de
manded a policeman.
"Yes."
"Do you know that the lady is dead
It is more than four hours since she ceased
to live. \uu have poisoned her with prus
sic acid !"'
The clergyman was horror struck. lie
sought to exculpate himself with .11 the
energy of an honest man, but his storv
so inded kke a tale, it was so improbable.
They searched him, and found upon him
the lady's purse, and the phial, which con
tained p'-u.vic acid!
Mr Edward L , crushed down, half
mad, allowed himself to be led to prison
without offering the slightest resistance.
"lake me to Rouen,' said the prisoner,
"I wiii unma-k the wretch. He will not
dare to deny it before me."
Two policemen in citizens' dress add
some other employees of the department
took a car with him, and they arrived at
Rouen. Mr. L was sure that the
'assas-in would tremble at the sight of him
alone.
When they entered Dr. La Belle's house
he was out, but would soon return. An
hour after he entered the room where they
were wailing for him.
Mr L trembled from head to foot.
It was not the man he had met on Mount
Saint Catherine!
"It was not Dr. La Belle!" cried lie, see
ing an abyss open before him, the depths
of which he could not sound. "It was a
lie! The man was not Dr. Li Belle!"
Alas! they must give in to the evidence.
The clergyman had been the victim of the
most diabolical trap imaginable.
They returned to Paris.
Some weeks passed. The agent of the
pohce who had particular charge of him
soon satisfied himself that h- was innocent.
Mr. L was then removed to a house—
he never knew what one or where—but
where he could read and write.
1 he day alter his new incarceration a
man entered his chamber, made him put
on a suit ot black, and begged him to fol
low him. At the door was an open caleche,
and they to*; the direction of the Champs
Elyßses. •
"Look well at everybody," said his mys
terious companion.
Mr. L looked with all his eves, but
he saw nothing but promenadere on foot
and in carriages ,The next day, when he
entered the caleche, he was surprised to see
a large white dog-crouching on the mat at
the driver's feet. lie did not understand
the mystery at first, but it was explained
to him afterwards. At the time the crime
was committed, between Rouen and Paris,
a white dog, without an owner., had been
found by someone in the former citv. The
poiice sent him to Paris at once. On the
day ot which we are speaking two lost dogs
were advertised on the fourth page of LDe !
journals, one at \ angirard, the other at
Passy. It was to these places that Mr.
L went with the officer.
But it was in vain. ELiys passed away
thus; nothing was discovered. i
■ . t; AhL>A Si •.
J j One evening the agent of the police
s told him to accompany him to a ball, and
- gave him a Costume of an officer of Spa
3 bees (Turkish horse soidier*). The cler
c gyman made some objections, but was
i, obliged to yield. The carriage deposited
- them at the foot of a staircase of a very
fine hotel, where they were received by
3 footmen. There was a grand bail that
- night, and the saloon was filled with per
s sons who appeared to Mr. L to belong
to the best society of Paris; for that mat
, ter he might be convinced on hearing the
r names of the guests as announced by the
, valets.
He was presented to the mistress of the
> house, Madame la Comtesse de F . who
i received him very graciously. lie con
-1 versed a great part of the evening with
: son, and retired at an advanced hqur vvith-
I out having discovered anything.
Another week passed,
i The following .Saturday he went to the
? ball again at the same house. M. de V .
■ the son of the mistress of the house, ea:-
) at once to converse with him, and drew
. him behind the large curtains of a window
1 of the saloon.
Mr. L soon heard the voice of the
agent of Police—who was in citizen's dre -
—in conversation with another person,
i They talked of the chase. A'te- . nt
i minutes conversation, during which Count
F kept his eves fixed on Mr. L .
1 who remained impassable, the couple went
away. A moment after he heard the sound
i of the agent's voice again.
"Ah I here you are at la*t, M. d Bo !"
. said he; "it's a long time since we have
seen you!"
i The person addressed had no sooner
- pronounced the first word of his phrase
than Mr. bounded in his place behind
- the curtain.
i "It is hiin! it is him! it is the unknown
• of Rouen !" he exclaimed.
"Be stili!" said M. de F , "or your
■ imprudence will spoil all."
i An instant afterward they were joined
iby the agent of the police. _
"Well? ' said he.
Mr. L trembled in all his members.
!"I have heard him," said he, shivering—"it
is him—l recognized his voice."
"It may be a mistake; you will remain
here without stirring until all of the gue.-t*
enter the dining saloon. You see that
door by the side of those curtains; through
that door each one will come with a la-R
--on his arm Scrutenize each countenance
attentively, and above all make no move- i
1 ment."
One o'clock in the morning struck at
last. Mr. L parted th - curtain a lit
tle, and his eye of fire was fixed upon the
door of the dining saloon His whole
body trembled as if traversed by an elec
tric shock. All at once his crisped hand
directed itself involuntarily toward a man
who was conversing with a young ladv; it
was indeed the stranger of Rouen. The
agent of police was obliged to seize L
around the body. He wished to unmask
the a>sassin.
I he next morning The agent came ear'v
to find iiftn.
"You must call on Mr. de Bo ."
"Let us go on the instant."
"I will conduct you to the door, and you
will go up alone. It is necessary for vou
to sneak to him tete a-tcte,"
M. de Bo lived in the rue Saint
Ilonore. When the elergyman, pale as
death, rat g at the door, M. de Bo .
who was putting on his gloves and prepar
ing to go out, came to open it himr-edf.
He turned pale in spite of himself on
seeing the English minister. But he re
covered himself at once.
"Pardon, Monsieur, what is the object of
your visit!"
"You a-k me that, wretch!" cried Mr.
L , furiously
"You are mad!" said M. de Bo .
shrugging his shoulders, and drawing his
interlocutor into his study.
"Now what do you want 7 said he, look
ing at nim fixedly.
Mr. L then allowed his indignation
to speak; he assured him that he should
attach himself to his person nntii the i> ;ice
recognized Lis crime.
"I shall succeed in unmasking you,"
said he at the end.
"You are deceived, my brave man," said
M. ue Bo , taking a pistol from the
table, and placing the muzzle against the
forehead of the clergyman. He fired, and
the minister fell backward.
{
But he was ot ly etunDcd. When heii
opened his eyes again he saw M. de Bo 1 <
between two policemen. The police had s
bribed the servants of M. de B,*-—, tak- ]
ing the balls from his pistols, and were |
concealed in the apartment when Mr.
L presented himself. M. de Bo . j
whom they could not pursue as the assas- j
sin of the demoiselle, was now guilt v of an j
attempt at assassin at K#l. He was con-S
detuned to twenty years hard labor.
One should hear this extraordinary story 1
from Mr. Edward L himself. Ire- ! :
member to have shivered often at the re- i
collection of it, anil the image of the dead I
woman in the car pursued me a long time'
j like a horrible nightmare. j,

Those who have been educated to be
lieve, or taken the idea into their beads
without bting educated at all, that cheese
is an unwholesome diet, are much in error.
It is likely enough that a surfeit on cheese
will sometimes kill, or come uncomfortably
near it. So will beef a la-mode, oy-ters, or
chicken pot-pie. But eaten regularly and
in moderation at e*ery meal, cheese is not
only a whol *one diet as a promoter of di
gestion, but at l'ntv-livo cents p-r porn I
even is more economical than meats. This
has been satisfactorily proved bv experi
ment and chemical ana y >i>of the two ma
terials but more satisfactorily by the expe
lience and every-day practice of the me
chanic and field laborer in England, Scot
land and \Vnl-s, and among the same
clashes in Holland and Belgium.
Break cheese, and beer constitute the
dinner of the artisan, mechanic, and or li
nary laborer in all these countries. Cheese,
bread, and beer make the breakfasts of
themselves and families, an ! U-er, ch
and bread make in the main the suppers of
the muj -rity of the working classes in all
these countries, and where e!> • sha 1 xve
find working men and women an 1 children
more hardy, healthful and vigorous ? Cer
tainly not in our oxvu country of universal
meat eaters.
Me know from other than Bible author
ity that "man shall not live by meat alone,"
an ! that beer, though it may he whol- some,
is not food per , the conclusion U that
the strength, endurance and rooust health
ot the-e habitual cheese eaters comes in a
considerable degree from the consumption
of that materia .
i here is another cheese error that a very
gre. t many—perhaps the majority of all
American fanners have fallen into, and do
not seem inclined to fa 1 out of without a
great deal ol persuasion— i. e, the belief
that cheese cannot be made so as to be
profit a! !e or goo i cheese curing the \x inter.
■-r with-uit k.-epiiig ten or twelve cv.- at
least. L't us -t-e how - cue of our fr gn
j cheese-makers manage that, taking fir-t the
THURIXGIA CIIEESR.
In Saxony they manufacture very pal
atable cheese from the milk of a single
cow and a patch of potatoes in this way:—
ihe potatoes are boiled until perfect!v
cooked through; then mu>hed, and to four
pounds of potatoes add one quart of thick,
sour inilk with salt enough to season, and
knead the mass thnrouo'hly as vou would
a batch of bread dough. Let it stand in
hulk f- ;>r day s. Then give it another \g
'or us kneading, divide it into balls of three
to five pounds weight, pre>> tke-o with the
itand a- compact us possible into small Las
kets. an 1 dry iu summer in ihe shade; in
winter by the stove or fire. When thor
oughly dry put the cheese into tin cans or
any of the improved fruit cans, seal up, an i
set by for use in a coo!, dry place, and thev
will k< • p in capital condition five v- ars.
Let u> have a look next at
SKIM MILK CHEESE.
In all tropical countries cheese male of
Aim milk, an-1 of small s.T", keep far bet
ter, and are always more in demand than
the great new or whole milk monsters of
from fifty to one hundred pounds that the
hot weather melts into miuh, and very few
people care to purchase Skim milk cheese,!
ma le small and thin, weighing from ten to
twenty pounds' may be profitably manu

EDAM CHEESE. "
Ihus far the Netherlunders have main
tained the "call" of the market, simplving
the civilized, and a good deal of the unciv
ilized world, too, with what is popularlv
known a* "pine-apple" cheese. Yerv ex
cellent cht-ose it is. too —this Dutch pine
apple, keeping in all climates capitally, and
always commanding ready sale at* u-ood
prices, i his is the Hollander's formula for
making Edam cheese. 11 is simple enough,
and the Holland "pine ppics" may just as
easily be made in the United States," wher
ever four or five cows are kept, as it is in
the Netherlands:
The fresh, sweet milk is curdled with
muriatic acid or spirits of salt, and the curd
cut and chopped and manipulated i; the
most thorough manner in order to expel
every particle erf" whey. The curd is then
soaked in a brine of sufficient strength to
float an egg for an hour. The brine is
then worked out, and the curd subjected to
a heavy pressure in iron moulds that give
the pine apple form to the cheese. . After '
from four to five hours' pressing, the cheese
is taken from the form and annohited with
- 'ft butter, having as much fine salt worked
into it as it will hold. Thus finished up
they set singly in rows on shelves in a cool,
airy place, and with a month's curing are"
in a fit condition to send abroad, and will
keep for years in any climate.

Parmesan Cheese.-
This cheese, celebrated for its delicious
flavor and beautiful, elaMie texture, is mackt
in that Italian territory called the Lodesatl
district lying between Lodi and Cremona,-
and compiling the 1 idlest grazing portion
of the Milan.-se department. The sews
from which the Parmesan cheese i 6 made
ire always kept closely guarded and fed all
the year round with green food. As the
weight of these Italian creamcbee*® range
from 150 to 200 pounds, of course thffrt*
aie 110 individual dairies that afford suffic
ient milk to make one, a* d so a wholo
community of Paime-e farmers club to
gether—putting in their tuilk and making
a cheese lii -.1 for one and then another, un
til ev.-ry member of the company is sup
■ plied with a cheese weighing from 150 to
20'J pounds, a cording to the quantity of
milk contributed.
ThiiJ'armesc cheese combination ismot
hkely the parent of our combination cheese
companies in the United States. There
are similar confederacies in two or three of
the provinces of France, and two at least in
Switzerland at which the famous cheese .>f
Xoufcbatel and Gruyere is manufactured.
Coriander for Cows.
It lias I een found that coriander seed is
t an excellent, and it is believed an mfaliia
, b!e alterative of milk. Sometimes it hap
pens that the very finest appearing ofihn.il
in the herd, and most geuerous milker*
. gives milk that will neither afford good
butter by itself, and mixed with other milk
. always make- with difficulty. To correct
f this give coriander seed as follows i
Grind the seed in a coffee mill, mix two
. table-spoonsful thoroughly with a pint of
: good sound cider, then stir the whole into
1 a dish of com meal, bran, or an) fine food,
and feed the cow every morning before elm
lias eaten anything else. From three to
>ix doses will effect a change that will m<*t<
likely prove satisfactory, and in all cases
permanent.
.4 Hoy in Trouble*
Trilling circumstances often teach u
most imjrortant lessons. The following is
a good illustration: An inquisitive bov
came into our Office one day while w'e
were adjusting an electro-magnetic appa
ratus. and was disposed to be rather med
dlesome. We admonished him to "keep
hands otf," but lie persisted in having
hands on. So we quietly connected a pair
•* handles, and arranged them to suit our
purpose. Soon Paul Pry had them in his
hands. In an instant we sent a powerful
current of electricity through him* it was
so strong that it drew his hands to his
breast an i held them as though they bad
been tied with a bed cor I. He began to
bell 'W and danCe and twist about in a matt'
n*r most gratifying to oursel f. "Take it
oil. Jake it oil! lake it off!" he cried*
We were not in a hurry. Take what off]" f
we coolly inquired. "Oh vou know! ihat
thing! "Oh take it off! Take it off!"—
\\ ben we thought he had enough we asked*
••'will you leave things be if 1 do?" u Y'j*
—yes —only take it off!" We broke the
current, and dismissed him with a short
lecture on the importance of minding hiif
own business.
llow many disasters and troubles are tho
result of tb's same propensity to prv iutc?
itlier people's affairs. llow much Letter'
society would be if caeb member were at
ah time-* just where duty or business called 1
him. ".Mind your own business" is a gl-.!-•
,en rule. Vv hen tr. *ll (and women loo)*
| conseienti usl v follow it in all the dbfaihr
of lie-; and ee h one leaves his neighbor u*
attf-nd to his own private matters;-then ai*
strife and disco d will cease.
