asked Dnvis, while my fingers were
actually ineaking as I pat my key in the
door of the centre one. "Erap.ty and

Wouldat have been dark," I muttered,
looking- in, "Rene what's name to the
laninPrni"-
gwell ht Weask what was come to
the lamp, for the compartment was as
dark as if it had- never been light, yet
had not I myself stood aud - watched
the lightsd lanap put in at Rugby? And
the carriage was empty too!
- "Why- was- this ?" asked . the detec-
tive, taming sharply upon me. "Why
was not the lanap lighted?"
Rut the lamp was light -and burning
now as sensibly as the others—if we
could have seen it. As we soon
covered, the, glass was covered by a
-kind ofetarpaulin intensely black and
strongly adhesive:, and the carriage was
as- completely dark as if. no lamp had
been there at -all. The perplexity_ iu
Davis' fade was as great as my own
when I told him Who had travelled
here. -
- "They couldn't have left the tilain
here., at any tate," he said a -and. I k-
-that as well as he did.
But you, have guessed the end.. lir-
, ing those few minutes that we stopped
on the line, the two thieves—darkening
the lamp even -after I had leftthem,
and using their Owh, key—had left the
.carriage ander cover of the darkness,
managing their escape in - their black
' dresses oat into the blackness of the.
. night as cleverly .as they had managed
their theft and subsequent concealment.
• But how could they have depended on,.
this unusual delay—this exquisite op- .
portunity given them in the utter dark-
ness,close to -the city, yet at no sta-
tion? When I officially made my de-
position, and explained the cause of my
a stoppage, so-mething of the truth- seem-
ed to- break upon as all; nut • it wasn't
for a good. while that it settle.d inn) a •
certainty.. Then it got clear to every:
body that the older scoundrel had
duped as more ineenicusly than the
younger ones. As bthe incapable old
lady (deaf ana stone, and so -blind that
she- had to- peer threugn her glitterin.g
glasses with eyes always . half closed,
and so hungry that- 1. -had to stop the
train -for a. luncheon + basket) he had
. played upon na the neatest trick of
Where on earth were` the thick iron-
- gray hair and witis.kprs by which we
were to have identified him ? By the
time the pence- sana the whole thing
.elearly it was too lane to follow up any
due to him. .
The can whien4iad taken nee eccen-
tric old lady with her parcels and
.-• flowers from Euston was lost in n• the
city, and could not be tracked. A high
reward. was Offered for information, but
no one ever wonnt. _My firm belief is
that it was no legitimately licensed cab
at all, but one belonging to the gang,
and part of the finished frond. I verily
• believe, too, • that somenines now--
% though perhaps on the other side of the
cleaunel—those three practised .knaves
• enjoy a hearty laugh over that Deeem-
• her journeybythe. Night Express.
Davis still assures me, with the most
cheerful confidence, that he shall yet
. have the pleasure,: some day, .of
ping three of the most expert and skilled
• thieves in Britain. I wish I felt as sure s
able hair dye. There is nothing in that
to attract special attention. Some one
—he may have been a philosopher—
has said that if we doubt whether we
are really growing old we should look in
-the face of a friend whom we have not
seen for twenty years. The preacher
tried that a few -days ago. He did
more; he looked in the face of a friend
Whom he had not seen for nearly forty
years. What his thought of him was
he does not know. They were both.too
polite to express their thoughts. He
knows that he kept wondering, and
wonders yet, what had happened -.to his
friend that he should ,look so very old.
—Exchange.
. .
It Hasn't Ben Decided Yet.
"I say 'tis so."
"I say 'tisn't so."
They walked into a hotel down street
thus talking.
"We've made a wager," said one of
them to the proprietor of the „hotel,
"and we can't settle it just now. Let
us have a couple of bottles of wine."
"Certainly," said the boss, "make
it three."
"Willing to wait until we decide the
bet, ain't you ?"
"Oh, certainly. Anything' you want.
Have the house if you want it."
"We'll fix in up as soon as we decide
it." •
"Don't make your mind uneasy about
that. 'I'm -satisfied."
The wine ems produced and squan-
dered.
"What is the bet?" asked the land-
lord after the wine had disappearea.
"Well, lake bere, bet that when
Trinity church steeple fell it would fall
in Broadway, and I. bet it would topple
over into the graveyard and. break 16 or
17 tombstones. As soon as we find out
who•wins, we'll come around and pay
for the wine."
• .
Why Is It.
"If you expect me to bundle up my
throat because it is a little sore, or to
put on woolen stockings to help you
cure this cough, you are greatly mis-
taken !" •
Thus said a Detroit lady to her fam-
ily doctor, the other day, when he had
been called to prescribe for her, and she
feltequite indiguaut at the idea. Her
throat. -was -protected by a wisp of- lace
weighiug the sixth of an ounce, while
her husband avore a chest protector,
two shirts, an overcoat, a scarf, and
then pulled his .313,p down over his ears.
She has been Out nearly every day this
winter thus "protected," and made no
complaints, while he, a man in • the
prime of life, had often complained
the cold. He had cork -Soles, lona-legged
boots and thick socks, and had °felt the
'cold. She had kid shoes and cotton
hose, ancl had been warm enough. He
.had cloth gloves, and shenids. He had
a seal -skin cap, all she a faehionable
hat. She was out more hours per day,
Ou an average, thainhe was, and yet she
suffered less. Ile lind been ailing twice
as often, though twide as careful. How
is it that a headache which would send
a man to bed, will not -keep a woman in
doors? A. toothache which would make
a Limo hall crazy would not prevent a
woman going down town. A bunion
which would make a man limp; would
be danced on all eight by a woman.
Married men hue a that . these state-
ments are true, d doctors prove them
o every' day. This being. so, let us

was rather a young man, the editor, of
one of the great • New York dailies; for
which I -was doing occasional articles,
maned. me into his saaactuni. He held a
naanuscript of mine in his hand, and on
his countenance was an expression
which 1 hastily and inaccurately trans-
lated into "declined with thanks."
"Inotice the word gent here," he
said, thoughtfully tapping the, paper
-with his forefinger : "have you spelled it
correctly?"
. "Haven't I -spelled it g -e -n -t ?" I ask-
ed in astouishment.
",I believe so; bat won't you, have
die goodness- to look it up in the dic-
tionary?"
. I turned confidently to Webster's Un-
abridged, and presently bec.aan-e rather
red iu the face at not being- 'able to find
the word in that bewilderitign store-
house.
. 'Perhaps there _is no such word in the
English lauguage," slyly suggested the
editor; 'in which case we had better
strike it out of the article."_
' This little lesson made so deep an im-
pressiou 011 me, and instilled into my
heart such a hatred of the word "gent,"
that I believe if I were naked and starv-
ing I would refuse to be clothed gratis
at a "Gents' Furnishing Store," or ac-
cept4 a eomplimentary - dinner in a
"Gents" Saloon." Mr. Richard- Grant
White wittily remarks that "gents" and.
'Tants" belong. together, for the former
always wear the latter. If "gent" i to
be t..;lerateci by careful writers, thou let
as accept "pante fur trousers, "tran-
spire" for happeu or occur, and, in
brief. adopt all the variegated and wou-
derfal vocabulary of the average news-
pa,per. •

Yes, we are growing old, though un-
consaious13-, and the current of life fioys
on as stunethly. as ever; ind.eed, t e

sum in arithmetic—the substraction of ,
the year of our birth from the current
yeaa--we are aetoniehed at the answer,

ness that we go over it a secoud time,
but always wit-Int:lie same result. Chil-
dren grow up aroma'. us, but we get
used to that, and seldom stop to coon

The Extravagance and Peeu—
harities of Josephine Bona -
Mme. Bonaparte was very liberal in
gifts, but, as she never gave awayany
of her own possessions, but alwaysepor
chased the presents she made, her lib
enality greatly increased her debts.
NOtwithstanding her husband's injunc-
tions, she could. never conform, in her
own manner -of life, to order -or to
etiquette. waa his desire that she
should not deal ditectly with any shop,
but on this poiut he was.forced to yield.
Her private apartments were crowded.
With them, as also with artists -of all
sorts. She had a mania for having her
portrait taken, and would bestow it' on
any one when:weever—relations, friends,
attendants, or even tradespeople. Dia-
monds, jewelry, sha-wls, stuffs and finery
of every kind wore continually being
brought to her; she bought everything,
never asking the price, and, for the
most part, forgetting what she had pur-
chased. From the negiuning she gave
her lady of honor and her mistress of
the robes to understand that they were
not to'interfere with her 'lines. She
arranged everything with her dressers.
There were, n believe, six or eight of
these. She T6se at 9 6'c1ook. Dressing
was -a very leng process, and a portion
of it was devoted. to minute personal
embellishments, including paint. This
done, she put on a Very elegant -dressing
gown, trimmed -with lace, and placed
herself in the hands -of the hair dresser.
Her under garrueuts were embroidered
-and trimmed. with lace. She changed
every article pf her attire three times a
day, and never wore any but ,new stock-
ings. If we came to see lier while her
hair was being dresied, she would have
us admitted. When. that stage was
passed, large baskets were brought in,
containing gowns, .bounets and shawls.
In -summer these gowns were of muslin
or cambric, richly worked and beamed.
iu winter thea were of woolen materials
or velmet..:Slie them selected her dresses
for the day. In the ineruing she always
wore a hat trinin3ed with flowers or
feather, and full gowns that. wrapped
her up aa good deal. She possessed
from 300 to 400 awls ; she sometimes
had. them made into gowns of bed quilts
or cushions fOn her dog. She kept a
shawl round. her shoulders all the
the morning, and wore it with a grace
I ha,
.seen cqualled.Bonaparte
7thought that she wrapped herself up too'
much, and would sometimes pull her
shawl off and fliug it on the lire; she
would theu send for another. , Sho
purchased all that were brought to her,
whatever their price. I have known
her to give eight, ten or twelve tnous-
aml francs for a Cashmere sha,w1. This
was. in fact, one of the entravagances
of the court; no oue would condescend
to wear a shawl that had cost only fifty
louis, and the sums given for those
wort] by the court lades were subjects
of boasting. I have 'already given an
account of the manuer in which Mme.
Bonapartepassed her life; it scarcely
ever varied. She never opened a book, :
she never took up a pen, she worked
scarcely tit all, but never seemed to be
dull. She did not .care for theatres ;
•
the Emperor objected to her going to
them without him, and receiving ap-
plause in which he did not share. She
took walking exercises only when at
Malmaison, a residence which she was
constantly embel)ishing, and on which
she had spent large sums , of money, to
the great dit3pleasure of Bonaparte.
When he reproached her with this,
Josephine would shed tears, promise to
be more careful, a,nd go on exactly as
before. In the end, Bonaparte had to
pay. Her evening toilet was conductel
in the same manner Eke that of the
morning. Everything wds of the great-.
est elegance; a dress or a wreath was
seldom worn a second time. The Em-
press' hair was generally dressed, in
the evening, 'with flowers, pearls or pre-
cious stones. She wore very low gowns,
and, the richer her atthe, the better she
looked. The quietest party, the small-
est dance, was an opportunity for order -
in' a new dress, in spite of the quantity
of finery stored in each of the palaces;
for she had a positive mania for hoard-
ing. It would, be impossible for me to
name the sums -she spent on clothes of
every kind. In every fashionable shop
in Paris there was always something be-
ing made for her. I have seen her
wear lace trimmings worth 40, 50, and
eveu a hundred thousand francs. It
'seems almost incredible that this love
of dress, which she could so fully, grati-
fy, never passed away. At Malinaison,
after the divorce, she led the same lux-
urious life, and appeared in full dress,
even when she expected no one: On
the day of her death, thinking that the
Emperet of Russia would perhaps come
to - see her, she desired her attendants to
dress her in an elegant morning gown.
She breathed her last sigh attired in
pink satin, with ribbons of the same
colon—Mine. Remusat's Memoirs.
Fussiness.
Above all things, avoid fussiness.
The fussy man is a nuisance, but far,
far worse is the.fussy Woman. To visit
such .an one is to be continually- irritat,
ed, if you should happen to lie of a
nervous temperament. The fussy
housekeeper cannot let you read in
peace. She jumps up to arrange the
curtains, to lower or raise the shade, to
urge you to move your chair a few
inches this way or nbat. She brings
you.'a footstool, or a paper knife, which
obliges yon- to lookup and thank her in
the middle of a poem or a thrilling
story. •
She is troubled because you grite a
letter on your knee, instead of sitting
properly at the desk or the writing ta-
ble. So she offers to move your pea
and paper for You, and thereby compels
you to get up arid move yourself. It is
the same thing.if you turn over the
prints in the portfolio. You must have
them in a better light, you really must
try the magnifying glass, you -need as-
sistanee in holding thein, and so on,
until yon lose all interest in the occu-
pation.
At meal -times the situation is Worse.
You haven't the piece you like—you
are not enjoying your dinner—yea
would like something else not ou the
table—and every one's attention is
finally drawn to you. Perhaps in de-
spair you plead a headache, boping to
escape. Alas, you have ouly doubled
your misery. Now you will be tended,
prescribed for, enquired. on every five
minutes, and every one will be caution-
ed notrto dieturb you, until you-feellike
an -ogre.
Yet all this time the fussy lone is
meaning to be kind, courteous and at-
tentive, mid happily unconscious of any
want of success. Nothing would pain
or grieve her more deeply than an in-
sight into year state of mind, and there-
fore you must conceal it. You feel like
a traitor and a hypocrite as you thank
her for the pillow she brings you, or
eniff her smelling -salts, but you must
tsmile and. say some grateful, gracious
words, and man inwardly, "Oh! if I
'only could be let alone!" Yes, that is
the trouble—these fussy people never
will let you alone... And that is One of
the secrets of a perfect hospitality—to
know how and when to let your guests
' alone.—Christian Intelligencer.

A Perilous Voyage.
Included iu.the free list of passengers
on board. the steamship City 6f Paris,
which arrived at New York on March
let, from Rio dn,neiro, were Herbert
Burrill and Andrew B. Coombs. These
two men, on July 9 last; in a boat 19
feet 1pug, 5 feet 4 niches beam, and 2
feet 6" inches depth of hold, 114-100
tens capacity, sailed from Boston for
Melbourne, Australia, hoping to obtain
a fortune by exhibiting their boat at the
World's Exhibition. Their boat was
named the Golden Gate, and with a
supply of provisions, mostly cauned
meats, and three tanks of fresh Water,
they hoped to reach Melbourne with
out maltiue any stops, excepting in the
Straits.of &apnoea Each of the men
stood six watches, and they succeeded
very well in their voyage, having mod-
erate weather until they reached Cape
de Verde Islands, 58 days from Boston,
when they put into St. Jago twelve
days to recruit -their health and replen-
ish their supply of provisions. They
sailed from St. ;nage September 17, and.
encountered stormy weather, which con-
tinually increased. in violence. The
floods of water .which 'came into the
boat damaged the larger portion of the
provision, which they were compelled to
throw overboard. They Worked for
several days without relief. and then
as their provisions were. fast becoming
short, they looked out for a Ship. They
coutiuued on until they had gone nearly
as far south as Cape Colony, and close
-to the. West coast of Atrica., when, their
calmed provisions being -gone, they de-
tenniued to mane for the Islemd of St.
Helena. For 25 day e they subsisted on
coeoa, and then,finning that the weath-
er would •preveut tilena from reaching
St. Helena. they concluded t� make for
the coast Of Brazil. The two adven-
turers by this time Were completely dis-
heartened, and nearly prostrated with
exhaustion. As the were about to
give lip all hope, tbny sighted land.,
about January 25, and their boat Was
rim ashore in a few hours afterward at
Torre, about 80 miles north. of Bahia,.
Brazil. They brought back their boat
ou board the steamer, andit is in very
good. conditichi.
