- j “One of the batch of „ui!«d soon to be rechrlutcned will be Le Rue Romitln le (iotT,” says » ialt nuiiilwr of the Pall Mall Gazette u Who was Roman U* Goff? A metllt»l student, who lo*t lita life In trying tA i>lu<*k Hokllers fnmi the jaws ol death. He died when less than twenty, Tl;e riminwlAnees under which his short and promising carter ended were harrowing, as'those -which led op to the olimax f»f Balzac’s mosl Kignant novels. -Itaniain le Gofl »ff was the son of a distinguished professor of philosophy in a lirst-ehu* I fyeeum—a gay, charming, higli-spir-Kd and tlioMughly honorahlc and nest Freehinfln of the eighteenth j century school, who became a l>eist, was held in had odor l»y inspectors ol academies anxious to stand well with the Empress Eugene and her set. I They could not dismiss him, but they nagged at and harrassed him so much that his patience broke down, and he asked leave to retire on a miserable •mall pension, but it was his and his wife’s intention to set up a private school; but the influence that drove them from the lyceum rendered this scheme impracticable. Mr. le Goff when the Delegate Government was at Tours, was secretary general to the Post and Telegraph Department. He there saw much of Gambetta, and conceived for him affectionate admiration which, as he did not hide it when the Assembly reigned, was a source of fresh persecutiou. A paper he directed was suppressed, and serious pecuniary losses thereby entailed on him. Misfortune was rendered blacker by a fall during a verglas, in which he'broke his wrist. His wife, though an accomplished lady, was glad of the humble place of mistress lu a girl’s free school, under the municipality of Paris at Bourg-la-Relne, and was allowed to take her daughter to be her assistant. Mile, le Goff was very beautiful and carefully educated,
and not twenty. The young Remain entered the School of Medicine. In meeting liabilities contracted while ihe was engaged in the newspaper venture the father's small pension was abeori>ed, and a good deal of his wife’s salary. As the wolf was very close to the door, poor young Romafn boldly faced privations of all kinds and won a place as house student in a hospital. He had not far to go in the direction of a medical diploma when he l>egan his clinical studies at Val de Grace. There, ou a January morning at 6 o’clock a surgeon appealed to the de-voument-of the students to save-a soldier, whose life could only be preserved by the transfusion of healthy blood into" his veins. Nobody answered. Another appeal was made and then a third. Romain le Goff bared his arm and came forward. The operation being clumsily performed he lost more blood than was necessary for the salvation of the Invalid. Le Goff had not been well fed, his clothing was not wintry, the cold was -terrible and he had to go to another hospital for an early morning clinical lecture. The poor youth was very weak and went to a Histor of Charity for a glass of dint soup or a glass of wine. (Sisters of Charity are more often than not humane ’and kindly disposed to\Airds young people. This one was a harsh fanatic, and of what ife not fanaticism cajMible? (She point-blank refused, twitted the student with having protested against an attempt to force the last Sacraments upon a soldier who wanted to die without them, and when Romain le Uoff pressed her told him he had no orders from the surgeon, who had by this time left the hospital. Young le tioff, bloodless, without a greatcoat, without nutriment or stimulant to enable him to resist the cold,-went on foot over the snow to a hospital at the other end of the town. He was seized with a violent Inflamation of the pericardium, and for six-uiul-twenty days was on the verge of the grave. His sister devoted hergelf to him. He got over the accidental malady to fail into a consumption; and Mile le Goff died » few weeks after he was out of immediate danger, of iuflaniation of the lungs, Romain lingered for a few years. General Cliaiizy attached him to the military service lo enable him to winter in Algiers. where he expired last May. The Municipal Council, in giving this youth’s name t<» flu 1 street, wishes to perpetuate the memory of his generous at'tinu Jn the Val de Grace hospital. I well knew the deceased student, and am Intimately acquainted with his family. Prosperity has returned to the father ana mother, but the fhihlren on whom they set their hearts at** not alive to enjoy it with them. It will, however, he some compensation to live in a street called after a son because he was a civic hero,”
Cigar Smuggling.
The New York Tribune says: "For many years the smuggling'of cigars into this port by the crews of the Havanna steamers was a regular business. Millions were brought In each year. Generally they were concealed behind the skin of tne steamer, being fastened by means of a cross-piece of wood. If there waa any danger of detection, the fastening was cut and the package allowed to drop down to the bottom of the bilge. These smuggled cigars done up in packages pf or more, were oovered with oil skin. Tiq-se packages are dropped overboard in the lower bay or at quarantine, and are picked up by confederates in small boats, brought up to the city and disposed of. In other cases they are kepi or ship board, concealed in places where no one would be apt to look for them, and carried ashore in small quantities as opportunity affords. Experience has taught the custom inspectors where to look for contraband articles of this kind, and not a week passes that seizures of smuggled cigdfs are not made. A short time ago 15 000 oigarn were found in one of the bred-tubs of a Hav&una steamer, where they had been Silaeed by the cook and covered with lough. They had l»een fouhd under the boilers, hidden away under masses of coal In the coal-bunkers, and covered with a bulky cargo. A small shed or wooden bin, was found in a coal-bunker not long ago, and in this was 10,000 cigars, packed in a small compass. If too closely watched by the inspectors, the crew will take back the cigars and take their chances of smuggling them ashore on a subseauejjt voyage. Bay oil, whieh pays a tuy of $0 cents per ounce, is also a favorite article for sipypplbig. The dtuy is almost prohibitory, and pyeq
if a small amount cn lie brought in undetected, it pays handsomely. It is put up Jn 22 ounce bottles, and those can be iutiulify stowed away and taken ashore at any tjpje. ftmqggiipg is not confined to this end of the of the route, however. The Spanish authorities impose a duty of $8 per pound on opium, and the means adopted to evade tile custom officer* at Havauna are very ingenious. Hmall quantities in tin boxes are packed in tubs and barrels of butter. JL'ans of opium are packed in large rolls of wall paper, which is duty free. They are hiflffch j?» barrels of potatoes, and in other artipb* p’l)ere they are likely to escape detection. * w . . >• I)ayi,d 8, Mauch attempted tp murder his wife at Washington, Ind.

Household Notes.
Fillet of Beef with Mcshboom Sauce.—When your roasted AHet f* done place It upon yoor platter, out it In moderately thick slices, only two o -three of whieh need be detached from the main piece. Then pour round the meat a sauce of mushrooms prepared thus: Cut off the stalks, and eat the mushrooms into halves. Throw them Into a little toiling beef steak, nicely seasoned, boil the mushrooms till done, thicken them with a cooked fnixture of butter and flour, and add a few drops of lemon juice. When the sauce is poured round tlie dish, garnish with parsley and two or three slices of lemon. Apple Blossoms. —Blew a half dozen large apples into a nice, smooth sauce, and add while warm a half teaspoonful of fresh butter and sugar enough to make thoroughly sweet. Heat a little butter in the frying-pan, and then pour in a cup of breadcrumbs, which must be stirred over the fire until they are pale drown. Then sprinkle these on the bottom and sides of a buttered mould; put three well-beaten eggs and half a teaspoon of lemon juice Into the applesauce, then pour it Into a mould, strew some Col the breadcrumb* over the top i and bake fifteen minutes. Turn out on a hot dish, and serve with wine sauce. Apple?Fool.—Peel, core and thinly slice some apples of all kind that will cook to a tort pulp; put them in a stone Jar with sufficient white sugar to sweeten, and 2 tablespoons of water. Place the jar in a saucepan of hot water, and boil until the apples are very soft. Then turn the apples out of the jar into a bowl, and beat them to a smooth pulp. Let it stand to get quite cold£ ana then pri* sufficient cream with it to make the right consistency, or some custard not flavored. Put in custard glasses, or in a glass dish, and grate u little nutmeg over it. The natural flavor of the apples is most delicate in this dish, and, therefore, any flavoring but the smallest soupoon of nutmeg spoils it. Turkish Pilau. —Wash bounces of rice and boil It hi a'pint of water for eight or ten minutes at the most, throw into a colander that it may thoroughly drain. Then place it in a stewpan with an ounce of uutter, salt and pepper to taste, stirring well, and adding by degrees about a pint of good fowl broth. Cook it till properly done, turning out with the grains separate. It is to be served perfectly hot. The foregoing is a true pilau, jiut additions mav be made of portions of the meat of tne fowl, or of any other animal matter, of a little curry powder, of chutnee, fried onions or mushroons. Potatoes a la Francaibe.—Take gome boiled potatoes, peel them, dip them in yolk of egg, roll them in bread eruiiil>s and fry in hot lard. The potatoes thus treated must be small, and must be garnished with ehoppea parsley when served. Nottingham Pudding.—One pint sifted flour, three gills of milk, one gill rich cream, six apples, four eggs, a salt spoon of salt. I'are the apples and hike out the core without cutting them. Mix the batter very smooth and pour over tlie apples. Bake one hour. Serve with wine or cream sauce. Apple Custard.—Pare and core half a dozen very tart apples; cook them In half teacup of water till they liogln to soften. Put them In a pud-ding-dish and sugar them. Beat eight eggs with four spoonfuls of sugar; add three pints of milk, pour over the apples, and bake half an hour.
Ar Forebode of GI
Scribner’* Magazine. The man is more Interesting than any of the parts he has been called to play; but we come to understand the man better by seeing how he shapes and molds these parts. As an orator, his conspicuous merits, beside his striking countenance, dignified action, and a voice full, rich, and admirably modulated, are fertility and readiness. He seems to have always at command an inexhaustible store of ideas, reasons, illustrations, whatever bo the Mubleot whieh he is required t<> deal with. Of all great English speakers, probably no one, not even William Pitt, has been so independent of preparation. Even Fox, swift and rushing as he wife, was great only in reply, when his feelings were heated by the atmosphere of battle, whereas Mr. Gladstone is just as animated and forcible in an opening, or In a purely ornamental and uncontentlous narangge, os In the midst of parliamentary strife. Of the many anecdotes that are currentjllustrating his wonderful power of rising to an occasion, one may lie given which has the merit of being true. On the afternoon when he was to make an important motion in the House of Commoiis, a friend, happening to call on him between two and three o’clock found him just sitting down to make some notes of the coming speech. He laid aside his pen ana talked fora while, then jotted down a few heads on paper, went down to the House before four o’clock, found himself drawn into a parliamentary controversy of a very trying nature, in which he had to repel so many questions and attacks that it was past six before he rose to make his great speech, He then discovered that, as he had left his eyeglasses at home, his notes were practically useless, put them quietly back Into his coat-pocket, and delivered with no aid to his memory, and upon that one hour’s preparation, a powerful argument interspersed with passages of wonderful passion and pathos, whieh lasted for three hours, and will always rank amongst his finest efforts, \
A Bloodhound’s Gratitude.
I The Detroit Free Press tells a remarkable story of a bloodhound’s gratitude at Andersonville, The prisoners were allow ed to go out In squads strongly guarded, to collect firewood. One day it was the hero’s turn to go,, aud for the first time since his imprisonment he caught sight of “Colonel Cateheni,” the big bloodhound. The Michigander noticed that the dog limped painfully on one of his forefeet, but gave the matter no special attention until, after being opt for half an hour, he sat down to rest near one of the guards. The dog approached the guard os if to ask some favor, but was repulsed with an oath and a threatened blow. He then skulked around and came near the prisoner, who saw that he had an old horse-nail run info his foot. With a little coaxing he got the (Jog near and finally pulled out the nail, and the animal ran away seemingly pleased. Twelve days after that, one night, about midnight, a tunnel was ready. The pris-
oiier was a long tjme gettjng clear of the neighborhood, and wpftk and starved as he was he was not more than two miles from the stoekade when day broke, and “Colonel Catchem" was put on his track. When he heard the nound coming he looked for a suitable tree to climb, but failed to find one. Armed witli a club, he took his stand, and determined to make a fight for it. The dog recognized the man, and t>egan exhibiting every sign of friendship. After a few minutes this pursuers were heard in the distance. ’php dqg at once trotted off in that direction, and was shortly baying fpid leading them Qyer 4’ fictitious trail. Tips prisoner pushed ahead for half an hom’, *nd W4# then rpioiqed by the dog who kept either pU {*> hlB heels or iqst ahead of h|m ail day, *«d h»y beside him ju-tbe woods a/ night. This position of guardian or companion he maintained until toward the night of the second day, when he returned to the stockade. The prisoner was then thirty miles away, but on the fifth morning he was recaptured. When he returned the
that hour to the close of the war the dog would not take the trail of an escaping prisoner.
Geveror "Blue Jeans" Williams.
'lji—i HtraM. - A 1 Hi* quaint, countrified apjtearanee made the Governor a centre of attraoUon wherever he appeared in public during hi* residence at the state capH tal, and his innocence afforded no end of amazement to the urlwin populace. One evening he escorted two female friends to the theatre to “Romeo and Juliet” played. He bought admission tickets, but neglected to get those with seat coupons attached. With the most ingenuous air hte surveyed the rows of empty chairs awaiting oceupants, and selecting three of the best, seated himself and his party therein. Presently the person who had reserved the seats entered, and the Governor was obliged by an usher to surrender his plaee. By this time the body of the hall had filled, so he coolly took possession of a proscenium box: but soon the box-renter appeared and ousted him again. Then the old gentleman waxed wroth, and, taking his ladies in train, marched out of the theatre, loudly avowing his disgust with “these pesky new-iangled notions” about reserved seats. On another occasiou Mr. Williams attended a spiritualistic exhibition Sven by Anna Eva Fay, and was seated as one of the Investigators on the part of the audience. cheerfully mounted the stage; tied the medium in the rope tricks with an effort of strength that drew perspiration from every pore: sat in the cabinet with Miss Fay and let the spirits put a bucket over his head; lent his prized blue coat and waistcoat to be used in the manifestations, standing meanwhile in his shirt sleeves under the full glare of the footlights; and, when the snow was over, stuffed a large quid es tobacco into the side of his cheek and assured the spectators that he couldn’t “see any hocus-pocus about this thing.”
Fire Maws of Japan.
Tlie severity with which persons in Japan arc punished who nave the misfortune to be burned out Is stated as follows by the Scientific American: If the house is occupied and is accidentally set on fire, the person through whose carelessness the Are is started receives ten days’ imprisonment with hard labor: if it is inhabited and the fire be produced by the proprietor, then he is punished with twenty days; if the fire spreads to other houses, the sentence is forty days, aud when any body is killed thereby, one degree heavier; but if the person killed is a relative of the first degree, the punislfrnent is a hundred days; If the house belongs to the government, one hundred days; If a temple, from sixty days to one year, but ten years are inflicted if it happens to be one of the great temples of Isle, or in the precinct of tne imperial palace. If a robber sets fire unintentionally to a house, he is punished with at least three years’ imprison-, incut with hard labor. Decapitation awaits incendiaries, ten years’ penal servitude an attempt at arson; the punishment being mitigated if the would-be incendiary is a servant who has just received a sharp rebuke, or if the attempt lie made on an uninhabited dwelling. If a man seta fire to his own house, ninety days, hut if the fire spreads to houses pi tlie neighborhood, two years and a half: and penal servitude for life is inflicted if the offender profits by the opportunity of the fire to purloin goads or property.
Morphine for Thirty Years.
New York Sao, Mrs. Susan C. Jackson, a wealthy widow who iniarded at *62 West Thir-ty-second street, died on Monday In her 87th year, after thirty years’ persistent use of morphine. She said that she first used the drug under medical advice to ease neuralgic pains and the habit grew upon her until she became a slave to it. She was a native of Massachusetts, and connected witli some of the oldest families in that state. Some years ago her husband died; leaving her unincumbered anil with a handsome income. She kept house alone until about eight months ago. She had made eveiy effort to conquer she habit she had acquired, hut without success. When she went to board in Thirty-second street she was accustomed to take as much as twelve grains of morphine a day. A month ago she sent for Dr. Francis A. Thomas, who found her bedridden and suffering from the effects of the habit that had enslaved her for thirty years. He advised her to cease using the drug, but she said she had not long to live under any circumstances, and refused to abandon it. Finally he anoceded in reducing the dally allowance to four grains, but was unaole to get below, that. He tried to substitute chloral for morphine, but It had no effect upon the patient, who wandered very much in her intellect, and passed most of her time in a death-like stupor. On Monday morning her attendants supposing her to be dead, spoke of her as having “gone home;” but she aroused herself quickly, and said: • “Oh, no, you have not got rid of me yet,” When Dr, Thomas called, a little later in the day, lie found her very near death) and told her so, The information did not disturb her In the leaijt. She took her usual dose of morphine, and sank into a sleep, from which she never awoke. Dr. Thomas reported her death and its cause to the Bureau of Vital Statistics!
The disappearance of the Jeannette into the i per bound Arctic sea north of Behring's Straits, more than a year ago. and the failure to oommunicate with her during the summer, have furnished the Arctio experts of l>oth this country and Europe with a fruitful theme for speculation of late. The numerous conjectures as to the absent • vessel’s position and the discussion attending them have disclosed the remarkable fact that no one appears to be acquainted with the plans of her commander. There is no end of guessing as to which shore of Wrangell laud he made for a winter harbor. By some it is maintained that He attempts
ed to reach the eastern shore and became frozen in by the ice known to have been present in that region in immense quantities; while others better acquainted with the canons of Arctic navigation are confident that he sought the western shore and is now there in a safe harbor. If the former supposition is correct the position of the explorers is a perilous one, but if {he latter is trqe there is no cause to fear fqr their safety. Bi|t ttje singular part of l{ is, iio one seems to kfiow which shore Lieutenant jDe Long intended to make; yet it nee ms incredible that he should have departed on »Uoh an expedition without leaving behind him a oarefUlly considered plan of operations. It Is now certain that the explorers are doomed to a second winter in high Arctic latitudes, and on the approach of summer a relief expedition will be in order. Such an expedition would at once proceed to the proposed destination of the Jeannette; but if she had none the search for her will be prosecuted under difficulties. If the wiseacres who are speculating as to the Jeannette’s wheteabopts WQphl d W*h the outlines Qf her trip as agreed upon before her departure, they would save themWriyef a vast amount qf public gueesEaat Indian snake charmers are carefUl to extract the fangs of their pets.

'k- ... -Jr „ . _ • . JjMttMr tirftt TiufL A Geneva to the London Daily News sav*: The boring for the Ariberg tunnel is actively progressing oD'tho Austrian^ side of the mountain, nel of Ariberg is^n^the^linear the railroad which is now being built from Innsbruck to Blundenz. The road »will be eighty-one miles long: the first section, from Innsbruck to Landeck, having a length of forty-six miles; and the second, from Landeck to Blundenz, a length of thirty-five miles. It is expected that the total cost of the road will be <•,602,001. At Bt. Antoine, 1,721 feet above Landeck, is the beginning of the great tunnel. The point fixed upon by tire Austrian government for the opening is not the one that was chosen by General Nonliing, who first surveyed the ground. The tunnel, had his scheme lieen adopted, would have been higher up the mountain, shorter, wide enough only for single rails, and therefore less expensive than tne one finally fixed upon. But the government, believing that the Ariberg line will some day be one of the moat important to Europeans, decided that it is expedient to provide every facility for a great traffic. The gradients are to be as easy as possible, even though the tunnel should be a little longer, and the line will be double railed throughout its length. In this connection it Is Interesting to learn that the entire length of the great St. Got hard tunnel will be in running order by April. Together with the Mont Cenis and St. Gothard tunnels, the Ariberg will rank among the great engineering works of Europe.
A Harrowing Tale.
from the Nsw Orleans Tlmta. Aot long since a Texas man read in a paper that if a string were tied lightly around the root of a mule’s tall It would, in cases of colic, give the animal instant relief. He tried the remedy on one of his own mules, and the doctors say that the portion of the tail thus isolated was soon swelled up bigger than the mule. The Texas man says the mule turned its head and saw his monstrous tail and got alarmed and began to kick. The first kick drove the mule’s tail away out behind, but the tail immediately swung back and knocked the mule forward a little —the tail was so heavy. That made the mule madder’n ever, and it kicked like ftiry. That only gave the tail more momentum, and on its return it knocked the mule about a rod. The mule looked around and didn’t see anybody and kicked again. The tail was there as calm and regular as a pendulum, and it came back like a steamboat running a race. That time it lifted the mule over the barnyard fence. But the mule lit on its feet and struck out again—game as ever. The tail fairly latighed as it caught the mule on its haunches.and drove it down the lane a mile and a half at every whack. It looked like destruction to the mule as mule and tail disappeared in the distance. But, after three or four hours, a returning cloud of dust was seen, and soon the mule emerged therefrom kicking as briskly as ever—but the tail was totally used up and gone. Not being able to offer any more resistance of course the mule kicked himself to the starting point.
Hints for Window Gardens.
Pretty window gardens may b made by taking the tin boxes in wliic mackerel is put up; paint them greeu or scarlet, and put in such plants as grow well together. When watering them do not use more water than wifi be absorbed during the day. A few experiments will then enable one to judge correctly in regard to the amount, and it is surprising to see how the plants will thrive in utter defiance of all the wise things that are said about drainage. The tin or zinc cases in which thread is packed, will also, when painted and placed in a stand, make very good window gardens. Water in which the gridiron and frying-pan have been washed is an excellent fertilizer. A correspondent of the Norriston Herald wishes to know “How to keep Dutch cheese from spoiling?” Hegot the following reply: “It is the queerest notion! Why, Dutch cheese is never sold as an article of food untill it is spoiled. It may be subjected to a process by which its flavor can be increased to the distance of two or three miles, but that would only improve it.

Carlyle and His Baby.
1 Thomas Oariyie is now a granduncle, and is immensely pleased and proud over his new honors. A private letter from Chelsea says: “Mr. Carlyle is so dazed with the novelty of a baby in the house—it is almost his sole experience of such torments and wonders—that he sends for the inftrnt whenever anybody calls, and remarks upon the perfection of the finger-nails and the little toe-nails and all the rest of the wee body. He turns it up and down, and over, and explains the mysterious and wonderful anatomy—in short, acts like a child over the first baby it has ever seen. The new element in his life seems to give him a new lease of existence.” . %' Booth Winter had been ill for months at Detroit, and the misfortune had reduced his family to poverty. He was not hopeful of 'recovery, and regarded himself as a burden on his wife. Resolving upon suicide, he gashed his throat with a knife. His wife disarmed him, and held the wound with her hand, so that-he eould not (deed to death.’ He begged her to let him die, using every argument he couldthink of, and struggling to free himself. The resolute woman conquered, but only temporarily, for he died the next day. Miss Flora Sharon, the daughter of tne Nevada bonanza senator, is engaged, it is said, to marry an Englishman of title. Dean Stanley nrnrnea professor ana Mrs. Tyndal according to the usual forms.

How to Get Rich.
The great secret of obtaining riches, is first to practice economy, and as good old “Deacon Snyder” says. “It used to worry the life out of me to pay enormous doctor’s bills, but now I have ‘struck it rich.’ Health and happiness reign supreme in our household, and all simply because we use no other medicine but Electric Bitters and only costs fifty cents a bottle.” Sold by all druggists. Some people think it an excess of magnanimity to forgive those whom they have injured.—F. A.

Conversing witlfa poet this morning. he assured us that he “made rather bad work of it at first,” and got more of his effusions in print.

Customer—“"What do you think of Malt Bitter?” Druggist—“ They are the best medicine I know of called ‘Bitters,’ because prepared from Malt, Hops, Calisaya ana Iron, which are great and wholesome medicines.” On the 13th of September a terrible snow-storm occured at Buenos Ayres, and it is estimated that. 700,000 eattle, 500,000 sheep and 250,000 horses perished.

From a little depot on the New York and New England railroad, known as Quinnebang,*in the southern part of Connecticut there have been shipped direct to Liverpool 2,372 barrels of apples, for which sixty-five cents per barrel were paid to the farmers.
