Theso men undoubtedly express tho hentitnents of a limited, tut a savage and desperate faction, and tbo authorities do not conceal the opprehension that the Anarchist may strive to create a panic by some terrlblo deed of violence. To prevent this, the police are exerting extraordinary vigilance. CIIAKI.KS IE LKSM'.lVs CONFESSION'. The Panama scandal still continues to grow in magnitude, and although the examinations are in secret, enough leaks out to keep up public interest and excitement to the highest strain. There is now no doubt that M. Charles de Lcseeps has told the government everything Lo knows. It is Raid that when he completed bis statement to M. Franiueville he expressed himpclf as deeply relived. Ho said that be had felt for years that ho was bearing a burden of suspicion that ought to ottitch to other. Tbo sinslo desire of bis father and himself bad Lten to bring the Panama canal enterprise to a successful conclusion, but black-mailers had taken them by tho throats, and tho Panama company had been compelled to buy the support and aid which, in the interest of the good name of France, and for tho benefit of thousands of Trench investors, outtht to have been given freely as a matter of public duty. Now that he had told the truth, he said ho felt os if a great weight had been lifted from his mind, and hoped the people of France would place tho responsibility where it belonged. IU Manns Fontaine followed the example of 31. De Lessens in making a frank and complete statement of Panama canal nil aus. According to Lo Matin to-day the arre.it of 31. Plondin was due to an avowal "by M. Fontaine to the eflect that Plondin bad acted as go-between in the corruption of Minister iJaihut. Plondin, the Matin Bays, has confessed to having cashed four encckson Paihut's account, amounting to one million francs. This confession of Ulondin agreed with and was confirmed by the statement of M. Fontaine. Kx-Minis-tcr Paihut. however, persists in denying tho charges of corruption. The public is not surprised at tho allegations in regard to tho cx-Minister, end thero is a strong feeling in favor of investigating the Ministry of Publio Works, & part of the Panama scandal. M. Fontaine has expressed an earnest desire to rename work on his "Histoire Universelle." in which ho was interrupted by his arrest. 21. Fontaine was accustomed to get up at C o'clock every morning to work -upon Lis history, of which seven or eight volumes have alrendy been published. Should )ie be sentenced to imprisonment as a result ot the proceedings against him ho will undoubtedly request permission to contmno 1 tho tasg in prison. ) 31. Paihut, 31. Ulondin and Charles do Tesscps were examined simultaneously by Magistrato Franqneville to-daj The examination of the men led to a vehement altercation, the noise of which could be beard outside tho court-room. 3Iagistrate Franqnovillo afterward held a conference with the procurcur-general. If it shall ho decided to prosecute ex-31inister Uaihut, the government will leave it to tho Chamber to decido whother he shall bo prosecuted Lcforo tho Senate or before the &saizes. 31. I.oubct. Minister of tho Interior, has informed his colleagues that in view of tho disturbance at tho anti-Semitic meeting at Tivoti-Yauxbtill last night a long disused Jaw applying to such meetings will henceiorth be rigorously enforced. A sntlicient number or policemen will attend every fuch mooting, ana in the event of tho no of violent languago will dissolve it and make a report to the proper authorities. Mention has heretofore been xnado in thene iiispatches of thofact'tbat Dr. Cornelias Herz, one of the men implicated in tbo Panama canal scandal, had procured from the legation here an American passport. The truo story of tho manner in which the passport was secured is somewhat interesting. Herz went to tho American legation and asked for one, but when it was to fused, passed the matter oil by saying he wanted one for his wife. Sho being a native American, this was readily granted. Ho promised to send 5.000 francs to the Paris-American Charitable Society, but never kept his promise. He did, however, givel.Soo francs to a needy American widow whom the then American minister was interested in. and who wished to return to the United Mates. The lino house once occupied by Herz. in the Avenue Unri 31artin, is owned by his wife, ho having transferred tho ownership to her some timo ago. GENKICAL FOltHIftX HEWS.

Tekrk Haute, Intl., Jan. 7. Tho property-owners on South Sixth street, who had waited long for tho fnlGllment of the contract for paving'that street with brick, are now discovering that a brick pavement is not an unalloyed blessing. Pefore the pavement was laid the City Council ordered the gas companies to make a careful inspection of their mains, to the end that any leaks might be closed before tho pavement mado repairing difficult and costly. The gas companies did not do as ordered, and the property-owners are now seriously alarmed by the presence ot escapintr gas in their houses. Peforo tho pavement was down the gas found its way through tho earth to the open air, but the brick pavement forces the gas to seek another outlet, which it is doing by going Into the cellars of the buildings. In the collar of Joseph Strong's wholesale house the gas found its way, but most of it had passed out of a window. Enough remained, however, to canso an explosion when an employe went to the cellar with a light to investigate. The cas companies are now boring holes through tho pavement iu an cllort to find tho leak in the mains. LIFE Ol' IIA1K-2SK1:A1)TII escapes.

He aroso shortly after C, leaving his wife and child in bed, and. taking tho scuttle mono band and a lighted lamp in tho other, started down stairs to tho cellar for coal. Tho house was closed at the time, as the Dover family was yet in bed. Harris thought he recognized tbo emell of cas, bat was not alarmed, not thinking of danger. He opened tbe cellar door and started slowly down the steps, trying to shield the lamp from foar that a stronger gust of icy air rushmg np tho etairs into the warmer atmosphere abovo might blow out the light. Harris reached (ho bottom steps, when suddenly the very air seemed turned to tire, which for a moment blinded him and canee intense pain. At the Marno time he felt himself caught and hurled half way up the steps, while his lighted lamp was shattered against a post. The neighborhood was shaken by tho terrilio explosion, and the few persons on tbe street saw tho house totter for a moment, then the roof fell in, followed by tho right wall. Tho upper floor was crushed in, and fell, carrying it to the tirst, which held, and tim alone saved Harris's life.

There was neither natural nor illuminating gas in tho house and it is supposed that tbo gas leaked into the cellar from ono of the largo mains on the street. The loss is 1.500.

TIIE ENGLISH U1TF.R SEKVANT. Ono of Kate Douglnn Wiggins Heroines Jives IltrliYiprettfttnuson that Functionary. Atlantic Monthly. "As forme. 1 get on charmingly with the English nobility and sutiiciently well with the gentry, but the upper servants strike terror to my soul. There is something awe-inspiring to mo about an English butler, particularly one in imposing livery. When I call upon Lady De Wolf I nay to myself impressively as I go up the steps, You are as good as a butler, as well born and well-bred as a butler, even more intelligent than a butler. Now, simply because he. has an unapproachable haughtiness of demeanor, which you can respectfully admire, but can never hope to imitate, do not cower beneath tho polar luht of his eye; assert yourself; be a woman; be an American citizen!" All m vain. Tho moment the door opens 1 ask for Lady DeWolfo in so timid a Tone that 1 know Parker thinks mo the parlor maid's sister who' has wrung tho visitor's bell by mistake. If my lady is within 1 follow Parker to the drawing-room, my knees shaking nuder me at tho prospect of committing some solecism in his sight. Lady DeWolfe's husband has been noble only fonr months, and Parker of course knows it. aud perhaps atiects oven greater hauteur to divert tho attention of the vulgar commoner from tbo newness of the title. Dawson, our butler at Smith's private hotel, wields the same blighting mlluence on our republican spirits, accustomed to tho soft solicitations of the negro waiter or the comfortable inditlerenco of tho freo-born American. We never Indulge in ordinary frivolous conversation when Dawson is serving us at dinner. We "talk up" to him so far as we are able, and before we utter any remark wo inquire mentally whether Dawson is likely to think it good form. Put the other afternoon I had taken toa fonr times between 5 and 7 o'clock, and went to thedinner-table wellstimulatedand with something of my usual national nonchalance. Accordingly, 1 maintained throughout dinner a lofty height of aristocratic elegance that impressed even tho impassive Dawson, towards whom it was solely directed. To the amazement and amusement of alemina (who always takes my cheerful inanities at their face value). 1 gave an hypothetical accoant of my afternoon engagements, interlarding it so thiekly with countesses and marchionesses and lords and honorables that though Dawson has passed soup to duchesses, and scarcely ever handed a plate to anything less than a baroness, he diluted the customary acorn of his glance, and made it two parts condescending approval as it resred on me, Penelope Hamilton. of the great American working class (unlimited).

St John's Ilcy n Once Observed In Early UlinoU Sett'einent. Mrs. Catherwood. in the first installment of her peJiai novel. "Old Kaskaskia." in the January number of the Atlantic, thus describes the fct. John bontire iu tho old town: It was tho very next evening, the evening of Sr. John's day, that young Pierre) rode into Kaskaskia beside hi lather to seo tbo yearly bonliro lighted. Though many of the old Trench customs bad perished in a mixing of nationalities. St. John's day was yet observed; tho Latin race drawiug the Saxon out to participate iu the festival, as so often happens wherever they dwell. The bontiro etood in the miadle of ths street fronting the church. It was an octagonal pyramid, seven or eight feet high, built of dry oak and pscan limbs and logs, with straw at the corners. Tho earth yet held a red horizon rim around its dusky turface. Some half-dis-tmct swallows wero swarming into tho church belfry, ns Bileut as bats; but people swarming on the ground below madt a cheerrul noise, like a fair. The St. John bonfire was not a religious ceremony, bul its character lifted it above the ordinary burning of brush-wood at night. The most dignified Kaskaskiaus, heretics as well aa Papists, came out to see it lighted; the pairan bpell of midsummer night more oi less nllecting them all. Ped points appeared at the piles eisrht comers and sprung up llame, showing the eight lads who were bent down blowing them; showing the church front, and the steps covered with little negroes goodnaturedly lighting and crowding one another off; showing the crosses of slatonnd wood and square marble tombs in tbe grave-yard, and a crowd of honest faces, red Kerchiefs, gray cappos, and wooden shoes pressing close around it. Cbildren raced, shouting iu the lirfht, rerpotuating unconsciously tho lire wor ship of Asia by leaping across outer edges of tho blaze. It roo and ehowed the bowered homos of Kaskaskia, tho tavern at tbe angle of tho streets, with two Indiana, in leggings and huntingshirts, standing on the gallery as emotion less spectators.. It illuminated lieids ami woods stretching southward, and littlo weeds besia? tho road whitened with dnst. Tne roariuff and crackling beat drovo venturesome urchins back. Tito Siuinlo Games.

The whole secret of having boiled ham or corned beef juioy ind f ulMIavorcd. Is putting it into boiling water when put on to cook, und when it is done letting it remain in the liquor in tho pot until cold. Woolen should not be dried out of doorfi in freezing weathor, but in a room of about tho satno temperature as the water in which they were washed. Tho texture of all fabrics is injured by drying out of doors in freezing weather, and the practice should bo avoided whenever possible. Puy at any fancy store a doen hemstitched linen doylies.

Make six little Hat, square bags to fit just inside tho hem-, stitching, fill them with lavender, and covet each of them with two of the doylie run together by means ot baby ribbon through the hemstitching. This urease eradicator made the fortune of more than one man before the secret of its composition was dUoovered: Two ounces ammonia, one ounce castilo soap shavings, ono quart soft water, one teaspoonful Hiltpetre. It must be used irith some care on colored coods lest it take huo with soil, but on white or black it is invaluable. Tho scraping off the old oaper is the most tedious part of tho work of reptpering a room. It may bo much lessened it a boilerfcl of boiling water is shut up in the room overnight. Tbe hteaui loosens tho wallpeper very perceptibly. If then a little hot water is applied with a whitewash-brush to the few places where remnants still cling to the wall, the task can be very readily accomplished. A simple jardiniere can be mado from a cheap presied-glass preeervo dish, with an ordinary tin pan to lit inside of it.

The bottom of the glass dish being concave, will receive the water which drips tbroagh the Hat tin pan.
