AN AMATEUR BURGLAR-
It was eleven o'clock at night, and Jedediah Brown had not yet returned. It was a circumstances which raised in the mind of Mrs. Jedediah Brown mingled feelings of indignation and sur-
the of
^Among the mental qualities of ladv in question were an abundpnee those generative of termagancy, and she was not inclined to know any infringement of her matrimonial rights with impunity. That she really entertained for her sterner half a deep affecdon, to sav the least, all who are anyway acquainted with the domestic affair of the Brown lamily can truthfully attest. Still,itisa matter of universal recognition that Mrs. Brown had a very exalted idea of her merits, and was constantly endeavoring to inspire her husband with a due sense of the priceless treasure he possessed in her.
In the language of a celebrated Roman, slightly modified for present ap-
"Not that she loved Jedediah less, but herself more." As previously stated, it was 11 clock, and the delinquent Brown had not made his appearance.
Allowing the extreme view that Mrs. Brown took in regard to the course of conduct pursued by Mr. Hrown to be the true one, that individual was deserving of the strongest censure.
The impatient lady sat before the cheerful grate in her little parlor, the sharp outlines of her features tully exposed by the ascending flames, deeply ruminated upon the subject of her woes.
Presently she arose, seized with malignant grasp, the unoffending poker, and fiercely attacked the glowing coals. It would seem that ihe stirred up at the same time the fire of her anger, for its flames burst passionately forth. "It'a too bad!" she exclaimed aloud, "it's really abominable, that Jedediah should so tar forget himself and me, as to act in this atrocious manner.
She glance^ nervously at the clock, then seating herself continued: "This is—let me 6ee—three, four times, as I'm a living soul, that he has siniiliarly outraged my feelings within a single month and then he has tlie audacity to excuse himself on the ground of jxmtical excitement.
Now, I should like to know
what reason there can be for a man to make a beast of himsulf because he can't tell who has been elected President?"
And as a supplement to the question, she fixed her gaze upon the unconscious cat, who was sleeping on the corner of the hearth, such a sanguinary look as must have thrilled that feline quadruped with feelings of the intensest horror, had its reasoning faculties been of the human order, and its eves met the "gaze of its mistreis. "But I'm not going to allow this state ofthings to last any' longer! I'll teach him that the wife of his bosom is entitled to a little more respect It's a shame, a burning, everlasting shame, that he should leave me to spend my evenings neglected and alone, while he is revelling in scenes of wickedness and riot
Again she started to her feet. "I'll
not
wait for him another instant
no, not if very life and happiness depended upon it. I'll go to bed." It is due to the veracity of the lady to chronicle the tact that her assertion was not idly made. Mr«. Jedediah Brown went to bed.
It mighi have been an hour, it might have been somewhat more, when Jedediah Brown approached his residence. He did not however, move up to to the door after turning the street corner, with the dignified stateliness which usually characterized him, nor did he reach it as quickly as might have been expected for, like a vessel beating to the wind-ward, he tacked several times, running from curb-stone to curb-stone, and more than once being seriously in danger of wrecking himself in the gutter. At length he was happy enough to make port, and drop anchor on his own door step.
Tru^h compels us to admit, however reluctantly, that Jedediah Brown was drunk.
As he sat upon the lower step, his head sunk upon his bosom, his badly damaged hat crowded down xver his eyes, his neck-cloth askew, with the knot in a position under his left ear rather suggestive of a murderer's jfate, and his entire outward appearance indicative of a utter regardlessness as to his personal aepect, or anything else pertaining to this terrestrial sphere a moral reform lecturer would have gone into ecstasies at the thought of possessing such a subject to put before an appecialive audience as a uuique specimen of total depravity.
Whether Mr. Jededian Brown, |atthat moment, had a realizing sense of his true condition, is uncertain. The air was keenly cold, and it may have been that which moved him. Certain it it is that he appeared at length to come to the conclusion that justice to hib own sell demanded that he should find some more attractive quarters.
Accordingly he assumed as erect an attitude as possible, and, by a marvellous stroke ut fiood fortune, succeeded in reaching and grasping the doorknob.
Then from his pocket he produced a latch key, and set about effecting an entrance.
To torm a determination to do a thing, and so effect the "consummation devoutly to be wished," are two distinct affairs. So Jedediah Brown discovered on this occasion.
The door was large and the key hole was small the night withal was not one of the lightest. "This is a singular thing,'" muttered Jfedediah, in a very thick tone of voice, and with exceedingly long intervals between his words "this is a dreadful singular thing. I think, I really do think, that on the whole it's about the most singular thine that ever I heard of, where the key hole has gone and hid itself. I know 1 left it there when I went away I'm sure I did and now where is it?"
He
ceased from his endeavors to hnd the missing orifice for a few moments, as if the last sentence he uttered had awakened weighty thoughts in his mind. Then he made another futile attempt to discover it. "It's gone, sure," he said "the key-hole ain't there. P'rhaps somebody stole it it was a brass key-hole, and somebody may have t.ok it for gold, and stole it. Or eUe," he mused, as a faint idea ofa wrong perpetrated against him on the part of his wife crossed hjs confused mind, "or else she's took it inside with her to keep me out shouldn't wonder at
a11""
he this time succeeded in finding what he had searched for so long. "Well, well," he muttered, "this is ago the key hole was there all the while. Jedediah Brown, if you wasn't such a respectable person as I know you to be, I should be tempted to say you were drnnk."
He entered, and after stumbling over a hall table, apd upsetting the hat stand, managed to grasp hold of the stair ban iste rs. Then, with fresh exertion he gained the parlor door.
The fire was still burning in the grate, and Jededian Brown thought it flickered up reproachfully as he advanced into the room. So he turned his back to the blaze, and steadied himself with a chair bz~k.
Happening to raise his eyes, he was astonished to behold the figure of a man, at the further extremity of his apartment. The thought ot thieves at once entered his mind. "Who're vou?-' he inquired sternly.
The mysterious person preserved a profound silence. "Who're you. I say?" cried Jedediah, in a louder key.
Still the importuned said not a word. "Now, look here, you villainous, thieving, uglv looking scoundrel, if you don't answer my questions I'll sacrifice vou, I will. Do you hear What busii ess have you in iny house at this time the night
As the last inquiry illicited no reply Jedediah, moved bv his rising passion without further expostulation, seized a footstool, and employing all his strength in the effort, he fired'it at the head of the fancied burglar.
The tremendous crash of broken glass which followed, awakened the deluded man to the important fact that he had shivered into fragments his wife's costliest mirror, and that the imaginary thief' was simply the reflection of himself.
Before he had time, however, to make many reflections upon the matter, he was startled by the cry of "Thieves Police!" and a variety of other frantic sounds in the shrill voice of his wife, who, awakened suddenly by the noise, had arose and thrust her head from the bedroom window overhead. "Police! police! help." Again it rang out upon the still air. "What's the muss?" cried a vigilant guardian of the public safety, as he made his appearance. "Burglars," screamed the lady in white, hysterically. "•'Where?'" •'Below in the parlor—I hear them now. Help, quick."
Another policeman at this lime arriving, the door was forced open, and the two entered.
Mr. Jedediah Brown becoming alarmed at the manifestations he heard, was reeling toward the door. "Ha, here he is," cried one of the officers triumphantly. "Nab him!" exclaimed the other. "Why, blow me if he ain't drunk, lie's been below among the wine." "Stand off!'' cried Brown, assuming what he intended should be a dignified attitude. "Stand off. Do you take me for a thief?" "Well, now, I shouldn't wonder at all," said ooliceman number one, in an ironical tone, "if we did take you for a thief -as far as the station house, any way." "What's that? Arrest me in my own house—drag me from the bosom of my family?" "It won't do, old fellow you must come along with us." "Never. I say never no never." "Have you caught the monster Where i6 he?" cried the trembling voice of Mrs. Brown, as that courageous female made her appearance on the stairs and peered over the bannisteis into the room. "It's all right, ma'am," said the officer, he's safe enough now."
Just then her eyes fell upon her husband, and from him they glanced around the room till they rested upon the ruined mirror. She comprehended at once what had occurred, and the direst indignation against the unlucky Jedediah arose in her breatt.
She was about to vent her wrath against him, when a brilliant thought struck her. She would not recognize him. The officers believed him to be a burglar, and she would not undeceive them. It would be a glorious revenge. "What a horrid looking man he is!' she uttered in a tone of apparent al^irm. "Hold him tight don't let him get away.'^ "He is rather a hard 'un, that's a fact," replied the officer "but don't be frightened. ma'am he can't escape." "What a blessed thing it was you came as you did. I wouldn't have had found me for the world. What should I have done if he had."
Jedediah gazed at his wife with opsn amazement pictured upon his countenance. He became a little 6ober at what had transpired, and was sensible enough to wish himself well out of the embarrassing position he was in. "Why, Mrs. Brown," he stammered, "it me—Jedediah." "Why the horrid wretch, he knows my name," screamed the lady. "Know your name! Well I'd rather think I ought to know your name, seeing as how I gave it to you." "Oh, you wretched man!" ••Now look a-here, Mrs. Brown, don't you come it too strong. Don't pretend that you don't know who I am. "How should I know? Thank goodness I don't keep company with snch as you." "Ain't I your husband?*' "Oh, take him away—the scandalous creature." "Come," said the officers, grasping him by either arm "you can't remain here any longer. Come along."
The injured Brown iesisted this appeal well as he was able. "I tell vou you're wrong!" he cried, grasping the door with both hands. "Oh, of course we're wrong of course we are* but never you ming, and come along with us, and it will be all ri^liL" "But this is my house, I say, and that my wife, and she knows it."
The officers, however, were not inclined to credit the story, and insisted more strongly than ever that he should accompany them. But only by carrying him bodily couid he be removed. "Tell "em they're mistaken in the man," implored Jedediah, appealing to his wife, when he found that he could not otherwise convince them of the truth. "Tell 'em who I am, and they'll let me go."

the stairs, "beware what you do! Don't trifle with a desperate man. Cpeak to these men or your doom is sealed. You won't? Very well the consequences be upon vourown head. I'll have adivorce I'll separate from vou yes, madam, and I'll take the children. Do you hear that Mrs. Brown? I'll take all the children to myself and leave you a ruined, destitute, wretched, heart-broken female being.
It didn't oceur to the infuriated Brown just then that he had no children. He had ever cherished strong hopes, however, of having an infinite number of these useful household ornaments and his ideas were not so clear by any means, as usual. 3efore he could utter more, he was upon the sidewa'k, and the door of the house wa^ closed and fastened. Mrs. Brown retired exultingly to her dreams' while Mr. Brown, upon his arrival at the station house, was thrust ignominously into one of the dark cells, and left to meditate at his leisure upon the humiliating position.
When, the next morning Mr. Jedediah Brown made his appearance before the magistrate, escorted by his captor of the night previous, he presented an aspect truly deplorable. He was not the Jede diah Brown of former times, and it would have puzzled his nearest friend to recognize him. The working of his mind, and the liquor he had drank, had left hi r. in a miserable plight.
The justice putting on his severest frown, inquired into the particulars of hid case. Turning to the prisoner, he aid: "So you were caught in the act, were vau? Well, burglatiy is a serious matter as you'll find out. What is your name?" "Brown," replied Jedediah "but there is a mistake." "Brown eh?" interrupted the justice "well the name is against you there have been fourteen burglaries, not to speak of other crimes, committed in this district by men oflhat name within the present month." "But I'm an innocent person it was in my own house they arrested me." 'Everybody's innocent that's brought here, of course! But we'll see how you stand. Where is the complainant in the case?''
At this moment a lady entered. "There she is," said the policeman. The prisoner looked up and met the eyes of his wife. "What have you got to say in regard to this matter, madam?" asked the judge.
Mrs. Brown did not immediately reply. She looked for a moment longer into the face of her husband, as if astonished and bewildered, and then she exclaimed. "Why, can it be possible? Is it then really you, Jedediah?"
Then addressing the magistrate, she continued: "I find that it is only my husband, and have no complaint to make. But it was so late when he came home last night, and he was so disguised, that I was unable to recognize him."
Jedediah Brown said not a word. He knew full well how the matter stood, and he felt not a little shame for the ridiculous part he had enacted. He retired with his wife very passively, vowing in his miud never to be caught in a like scrape again.

TURKISH INTRIGUES.
THE TRUE INWARDNESS OF MIDHAT PASHA'S DOMSFALL. (Constantinople Letter to the N. T. Tribune.)
Ever since ttje accession of Midhat Pasha to office as grand vizier there has been a very strong oarty of opposition to his policy. On Sunday the Sultan yielded to that party, and on Monday morn ing quite early, he summoned the great man into his presence in order to depose him. A steamer was in waiting with steam up, and Midhat Pasha had hardlyarrived at the palace when soldiers appeared, and he was rather ostentatiously arrested and sent out to the steamer without being allowed to go to his house again. Even the money necessary to defray his expenses, on landing in Italy was given him at the palace because he insisted that he should be allowed to return to hi* house for a little pocket money. Before it was known among the people that Midhat Pasha had fallen, the steamer which took him to Brindisi was already out at sea. The leader of the plot was the sultan's brother-in-law,Mahmond Pasha, who hated Midhat Pasha from simple jealously. No particular politic al policy is represented by him or by the other leading men involved: Itwasa regular cave of Adullam. The "outs" who wanted to get "in the "ins," who knew that they would shortly be driven out by reform the old Turkish party, who hate reform in its lighest outline the perennial party of the haters of success—jfll these joined hands to drive from office the man who has led Turkish statemanship since the overthrow of Abdul Aziz last May. Mahmond Pasha has had the ear of the sultan constantly, and he found little difti culty in creating a jealousy months ago in the mind of the si^tan toward Midhat Pasha. 'He thinks you owe everything to him, and he acts as if he was your ruler instead of being vonr sub?ect"— this was the one string which was harpen upon continually. The European pa pers have constantly spoken of "Midhat Pasha's reforms," "Midhat Pasha's constitution," e'c. This was served up to the sultan as gall and wormwood. Then came up a money question, which settled the matter. The Sultan wished to overdraw his allowance. The minister of finance, Gaiib Pasha, hesitated, talked with Midhat, and Midhat declared that the Sultan must observe the new laws and ke_p his finances within the limits. But the Sultan insisted, and Galib sent him over a couple of millions of dollars. Instantly Galib was removed from office by Midhat, and the Adullamites saw that their opportunity had come. It only needed a little hint to the Sultan to work his jealous wrath to a high pitch, and the thing was done.
All the class of small officials are jubilant. Midhat Pasha has been quietly bringing honest and more capable men to the front, and has been unflinching in demanding instant obedience from all the official world to the new laws. His orders have had a military ring they have never contained the time honored phrase, "And may God's grace incline your heart to obey this order." It is only by sharp, clear commands that he could convince the officials that he was in earnest in the matter of civil rightC for Christians. These men had naturally become hostile to him.

The Ay
wine, which that Pontiff prized above all others, was then a red sort, not alike Bouzy wine, which 'also had ,its day of great renown. St. Remy left by will ten casks of this sort to his nephew and to some priests of the church of Rheims. At the coronation of Philip ot Valois. in 1328, this wine cost six livres per cask at that of Charles IX, more than two centuries later, it sold at thirty-four livres a cask. For many years the wines of the Marquis de Puisteux, Lord of Sillery, arid Verzenay, were the most esteemed the court of France, and were reserved for the royal table. The vinyards that produce them arc exposed to the rising sun those ot Hautvilliers, Izy and Ay ie on hills, having a southern exposure, and produce better wine than those of Cramont, that are exposed to the north. The Maison Restique, printed in
1568,.
mentions the wine of Ay as a delicate claret, reserved for Kings and Princes, but it is only about
1670
that Ay was turned into a perfectly white wine, as we learn from a later edition of the same work, printed in 1736. On the 9th of January,
1739.
Bertin de Roch-
eret, Lieutenant of the Baillage of Epernay and possessor of Ay, sent two casks of rose colored wine to Mr. de Subecourt for from one hundred and fifty to two hundred livre6. This sort was a great novelty at the time. In 1747, it was sold at Ay for three hundred livres per cask. But half a century before people began to talkof"Vinde Champagne Moussex." It became first known in :6QS its fame rose to its height in
but abated a little subse
quently, a suspicion having arisen that the wine was frothy because it was drugged. The discoverer of this champagne was Dom Perignon,a Benedictine of the Abbey of Hautvilliers, who found that wine bottled immediately after being made, and kept till May, would froth. The sort went a long time under his name it used to.be sold at one thousand livres per quene of the capacity of four hundred litres. Dom Perignon carried the secret of making white wine with red grapes away with him when he departed this life in

clerkship by presenting a
pretty Circassian slave to a former n'inister, would be summarily dismissed by Midhat Pasha, and so this class of officials, too, have an interests in the downfall of the stern old man. But as for the people, they are furious. It would take but a slight impnlse to bring about the overthrow of the sultan. If one of the two must go, the people would exile the sultan, not their friend Midhat. On this account we arc still doubtfiil whether the change will lead to anarchy or not The sultan has undertaken to plead in an official announcement that Midhat arrogated too much authority, and pretended to the prime honor of introducing the constitution, whereas it has always been the darling {of the sultan's own heart, and Midhat Pasha was only the sultan's delegate in proclaiming it. He has also appointed several Christians to high office tq conciliate that party, and has ordered Edhem Pasha, the new grand vizier, to introduce ail the necessary reforms at once. But this 'does not satisfy the people. One olTurk expressed the popular feeling very well the other day, when he said: "For year I have been pinching to give to thy war fund I have been ready to voluna teer myself, and I have done all in me power for the sake of the fatherland but now they've sent away the only good man they had they don't know what good is, and the country may go to the dogs for all of me. 1 don't pay any more war tax n»r drill any more."
WHAT KIND OF CHRISTIANS BE THESE. From the New York Sun.
It would be considered too funny for any humorous writer to say that a clergy man was in danger of dismissal from his church because he gave the time that ought to be spent in polishing up his serir.ons to the work of feeding the hun gry, clothing the naked, and looking after ihe lost sheep, so that the rich were ne glected for the sake of the poor. But the accusations are made, not jocularly, but gravely, against the Rev. Mr. Putnam, of Jersey City Heights, by the leading members of his church. Once when he had been shown the error of his wa) in the matters referred to, he promised amendment: but he soon fell again into Christian habits. He now acknowledges the truth of the charges brought against him, and the efforts to turn him out of his church on account of them have become more determined than ever. A Sun reporter, who hunted Mr. Putnam up, caught him in the very act of aiding a sick man and directing him to a hospital which is under his charge. It is rather an interesting case in these times.-
At last accounts no response had come to the request for prayers, sent in to the Moody meetings, "in behalf of a poor Philadelphia husband whose wife had gone insane from religous excitement."
