The WIDOW OF OMAR PAsHA-Several
French journals have announced the presence
in Paris Of the divorced wife Of Omar Pasha
The following details Of Ler career are giving
in the Patrie:
"She was born at Reps, in Pennsylvania,
and was sent at the age of eleven to one Of
the best boarding schools in Bucharest
Some lessons on the piano developed wonder
ful musical powers, aud at The age Of fifteen
she possessed remarkable talent on that
instrument. 1t was at that period that Omar
Pasha, who then was the military command
ant Of Wailachia nut the youug lady a
Soiree and being very fond OF music fell in
love with her and subsequently married her.
She was then compelled to submit to Mus
suman habits the Christian become quite q
khanoun, Turkish .woman,) never left the
house except yelled aud attended ; but con-
trary to Oriental habits, accompanied her
husband in his warlike expeditions. She was
greatly delighted with the glory Of his arms,
and composed trrmphal marches which were
played by the Turkish regiments when in
battle. The only child BON from this mar
rage having died from an accident, Omar
Pasha hoped by u new nnon 10 have au heir
and, perhaps, also to attach himself TO the
old Turkish party, and be therefore demanded
in marriage the daughter Of l!adz Pasha its
chief. 'Remain in the harem, he said TO his
wife but she was too proud to accept con
dition SO unworthy OF her, and demanded a
divorce, which was granted aud she has come
to seek an honorable asylum In France. This
lady is only tweuty-three years Of age. She
contemplates giving concerts in Paris and it is
said that she would had it not been for the
interference OF Lady Canning, have made
London The scene OF her performances"

Boiled Corned Beef.

BOltGQ COTEGQ boel.
This is a staple food in a majority of fami-
lies during several months of the year, and in
most cases the cooking may be greatly i'm
proved. The two chief errors ore, first, in
not cooking it long enough, aud second, in
losing large proportion Of its real nutrinent.
We always prefer il prepared as followed:
Soak in warm, not hot water, Just long
enough to take ont all excess Of salt Then
cover it so that the steam will condense upon
the under side of the cover and fall back.
! This will prevent boiling away, and also the
loss Of much OF the nutrment, which, in an
open vessel goes off with the steam. Boil
the meat several hours, or until it is SO thor
cughly done that it will not hold together
to be lifted with fork. If there be any
bones take them out, since, if cooked enough,
the meat will cleavc from them readily.
Pack the meat by itself in deep dish, mix
ing well together the lean and fat portions.
Next. skim the fat and boil the liquor down
90 that when poured over the meat it will
just Eli the spaces between the pieces. Then
lay ever the whole a fat cover which will fit
into the dish, put on dozen or twenty pounds
weight and let it stand until cold Several
Hat irons or large stone will answer for the
weight, or il convenient, It may be set under
a cheese press. Prepared IL this way, the
poorest piece Of tough corned beef will be
made tender and juicy. Boiling down and
using the liquid, saves the most natritous
portion which is usually thrown away. The
gelGtine Of the condensed gravy, when cold,
forms q Sclid mass with the meat, which may
then be cut up into slices for serving upon
the table. 1.-THE fat and lean portions be
mixed, when cutup cold, the pieces will pre-
sent beautiful marbled appearance. Corued
beef prepared in this way will not only be
eaten with superior relish, but it will not.
on account Of its toughness, be swallowed
half masticated it produces irritation in the
stomach, and yields only a portion Of its
substance as nutriment. Over the common
process, there is only the extra trouble Of the
additional boiling and pressing, which are
amply repaid by the saving Of nutrintent,
while a cheaper quality Of beef will be rend-
bred wholesome and profitable. Try this
mode and you will not willingly 90 back to
the hard boiled " inevitable salt junk"
Mutton cooked in the above manner is
very nice America,. Ayicuitwist.

LOYE AND PHYSIC.

a clever man was DIR. Dig,
Msfortures well he bore,
He never lost his patience till
lie had no patients more;
And though his practice once was large,
1t did not swell his gains
The pains he labored for were but
The labor Of bis pains.
Though cart is long" bis cash got short
And well might Golen dread it,
For who will trust name unh nOwn,
When merit gets no credit
To marry seemed the only way
To ease his mind Of trouble,
Misfortunes never singly cone,
And misery makes them double.
II had q patient, rich and fair,
That hearts by scores were breaking,
And as he once had felt her wrist,
III thought her hand of taking;
But what the law makes strangers do,
Did strike his comprehension
Who live in these United States,
DO first declare intention.
And so he caled-his beating heart
With anxious fears was swelling
And half in habit took her hand,
And on her tongue was dwelling;
But thrice, though he essayed 20 speak,
He stopped, and stuck, and blundered
For say, what mortal could be cool,
Whose pulse was most hundred?
Madame" at last he falters out
His love had grown courageous

And when the symptoms | relate,
And show its diagnosis,
All, let me hope from those dear lips,
Some favorable lrognosis.
"This DONE" he cries, %et's tie those ties
Which none but death can sever;
Since like cures like do infer
Tha: love cures love forever"
lie paused--she blushed, however strange
1t seems on first perusal.
Although there was no promise made,
She gave him refusal.
81 cannot marry one who lives
BY other folks distresses-
The man | marry | must love,
Nor fear his fond caresses;
For who whatever be their sex,
However strange the case is,
Would like to have a doctors bill
Stuck up into their faces1
Perhaps you think 'twi&t love and rage

Or with his lancet breathed a vein
To ease his pulses motion.
To guess the vent OF his despair,
The wisest ones might miss it:
He reached his oilice-then and there

SHOULD SoT WoNDER.-Of lranistan the
New Haven Journal remarks:
"There is n good deal Of humbug about
that house. Barnum did not build it, 1t
was an old wooden structure when he bought
the place, and his fixed it up with flagree and
gingerbread work, domes and mnarets, until
it would not be breaking the second COM
mandment 10 worship it. We do uht believe
any very large amount of money could have
been spent upon it, and il We owned it, We
shonld feel ourselves in luck If burned down.
The grounds about the house are valuable,
and were well cared for formerly, but the
house itself was only showman's advertise
ment.h
iranistan is now place of attraction, ap-
parently more than ever. People are con-
stantly going to and returning from the ruins.
a QUESTION FOR THE DocToRs IN THEoLo-

TO THE OLD YEAR.
By NJ. II. BRADCLIFFE.

Old year thy head is white with age,
Thy youthful fires no longer glow,
Thy lingering days have naught but gloom
And thou art tottering to the tomb
With feeble steps and slow.
All Summers warmth, Springs sweet perfume
And Autumn's golden days are gone
The wntry sun doth co.dly CLEAN
On thee; yet, meath its chilling beam,
Thou tlavelest trembling on.
The rostgems deck thy silver beard,
Thy path is DER the frozen groundi
The shrieking winds about thee rave
And DER thee, leafless branches wa
With harsh and wailing sound.
Thy breath is cold upon my fac,
And thou art meath burdc oeh''
OF shattered hopes and joys ttwoih'
And sighs that oft this hea' nam 'oih'
And many hours missy"''
And with thee. on thy Feafy way
Not only these tho takes' along
B But scenes whose pmorles are dear,
And tones. 7 ne'erigain shall hear,
AMI nIeosure, smile and mrtli's sweet song.
4 nd yet word not call thee back,
Even f, lie them DER again,
With all thu hadst of warm and bright
OF hncv'. dream and loves delight,
1t wer too much of pain,
farewell, old year! The setting sun
Dth thy stern shadow backward cast,
!, ,ling in gloom upon my soul,
yhcnce never more its cloud shall roll,
Though thou art with the past.

A New Ocean Telegraph Project.


We learn, says the Rochester Union,
from gentleman long aud intimately as
ISOLATED with the most prominent telegraph
enterprises and telegraph men on this con-
tinent, that there has been an incognate
submarine telegraph project on foot for
some time, the projectors of which were
awaiting the issue of the late expedition
upon which their ultimate arrangements
depended. That enterprise having mis-
carried for the present and probably for
all time, our informant understands the
one now referred to will be pushed for
ward with all practicable energy.
Our information, though rather vague,
is to this effect: The proposed line is to
run up the Labrador coast to point opo-
site to Cape Farewell, in Greenland; thence
to Iceland; and thence to the north of
Scotland via the Farce, Shetland and the
Orkney Islands.
1t is stated that the longest submarine
circuit by this route will not much exceed
500 miles. And such being the fact, the
cable can be made proportionally larger
and perfect. The chances of success will
of course be increased in a much larger
ratio than the distance will be diminished
other obstacles remaining the same.
This plan wears feasible aspect and it
can hardly be doubted that the igenuity
of man being now fully aroused and direct
ed to this great object, it will, ere long,
v,nquish every obstacle in conect-
ing the two continents by an electric tele-
graph.

mating i'm hillary arrangement, caused
by the Malaria of miasmatic countries.
No one remedy is louder called for by the
necessities Of the American people than sure
and safe cure for Fever and Ague. Such
we are now enabled 10 offer, with perfect
certainty that il will eradicate the disease,
and with assurance, founded on proof, that
no harm can arise from its use in any guam
tity.
That which protects from or prevents this
disorder must be of immense service in the
communities where it prevails. Prevention is
better than cure, for the patient escapes the
risk which he must run in violent attacks Of
this baleful distemper. This "CURB" expels
the miasmatic poison Of FEVER AND AauE
from the system and prevents the develop
ment Of the disease, if taken on the first APP
proach of its premonitory symptoms. II is
not only the best remedy ever vet discovered
for this class of complaints, but also the
cheapest. The largo quantity we supply for
a dollar brings IL within tho roach of every
body; and in bilious districts, where FEVER
AND lGub piCNdlS, tNcIy DOuH sDOulu nave IL
and use il freely both for cure and protection.
1t is hoped this price will place it within the
reach of all-the poor as well as the rich. A
great superiority of this remedy over any
other ever discovered for the speedy and GER
tain cure of Intermittents is, that it contains
no Quinine or mineral, consequently it pro-
duces no quinism or other injurious effects
whatever upon the constitution. Those cured
by it are left as healthy Us if they had never
had the disease.
Fever and Ague is not alone the consequence
OF the miasmatic poison. A great variety Of
disorders arise from its irritation, among which
are Neuralgia, Rheumatism, Gout, Headache,
Blindness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asth-
ma, Palpitation, Painful Affection of the
Spleen, Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie,
Paralysis, and Derangement of the Stomach,
all of which, when originating in this cause,
put on the intermittent type, or become period
ical. This "CUnE" expels the poison from
the blood, and consequently cures them all
alike. 1t is an invaluable protection to imini-
grants and persons travelling or temporarily
residing in the malarious districts. If taken
occasionally or daily while exposed to the in
fiction, that will be excreted from the system,
and cannot accumulate in sufficient quantity
to ripen into disease. Hence it il even more
valuable for protection than cure, and few will
ever suffer from Intermittents, if they avail
themselves Of the protection this remedy af-
fords.
