4 Story of Romance, Love and Prob
ably Suicide.

Within the past two days, says the
San Francisco Alta, the daily papers
have commented upon the probable
murder of a man discovered dead on
the hillside, northwest of the railroad
machine shops, in Saucelito. The dead
man was found with knife wound in
the breast, over which his overcoat was
buttoned tightly. The sheath of long
dagger was in the belt of his pantaloons,
but the blade could not be found in the
vicinity. Whether it is case of muir
der or suicide has not yet been settled,
though a number of Italians believe,
from the description given, that it is a
man named Catalani, whs has been
missing for several days, and one of
them furnishes the following narrative:
Not many years since there lived in
the city of Naples, Italy, wealthy gen
tleman who bore the name OF Catalan.
He was young, rich and handsome, and
unburdened with the cares of family.
He had passed his majority, and be-
thought himself of taking wife. He
looked about him in the circle in which
| he moved, and finding no helpmate to
suit his fancy, cast his eyes among the
Bohemians. There he found the "de
Bernardo" lady whose voice was only
excelled by her handsome features,
whose form was equal to Juno's and
whose charms were not surpassed by
the tabled Venus. Catalani became
enamored of the beautiful songstress,
and married her against the wishes of
his family. Home was therefore render
ed Hades, and Catalan, disguised with
the treatment received at the hands
of his relatives, gathered together
what money he could, and, shaking the
dust of Italy from his feet, forgetting
her cloudless skies, her genial climate,
started for the New World. Eventual
" he settled in this city with his bride.
For a. time he prospered-as long as his
money lasted. His money gone, there
was but one resOrt-wOrk. His wife, in
the meantime, had taught him in the
art of singing, and Catalani obtained a
situation in the Metropolitan Theater.
His voice, however, didn't please the
public taste, and he resigned. To sup
port the family, his devoted wife gave
music lessons, and by her exertiOns they
managed to subsist for some time. AT
length the crisis came. Crushed in
spirit, Catalan wandered amongst his
cOuntrymen; but on Saturday last, I'M
able longer to "suffer the sings and
arrows of outrageous fortune" he bid
his affectionate wife and children last
farewell, and embracing them said they
would never again behold him on this
earth alive. Since that time he has not
been seen, and it is feared by many OF
his friends that he has ended his exist
ence. A party went from San Francis
co to Saucelito to view the body and
confirm their suspicious, but at a late
hour last evening they had not been
heard from.
Catalani was a man greatly beloved
by his countrymen, and shosld his
prove to be the body found in Saucelito,
there will be many a silent tear dropped
on his bier.

enough of it now to last aperson for six
months. Those whom L saw to-day
were in a fair way to do it.

CARAMELs.-1 cup of sugar, pound
of chocolate, l cup of mOlaSses, butter
the size of nutmeg; scrape the choco-
late into the molasses, add the sugar
and butter, and ] cup of milk. Boil 20
minutes; pour into well buttered pans,
and when nearly cool cut into squares.
NICE CoOKIEs.-Sift into a pan 3
large teacups of flour; rub into it tea
cup of fresh butter, and 2 teacups of
powdered white sugar and handful of
caraway seeds. Wet it with an egg
well beaten, and little rose water or
essence of lemon. Add at the last ]
teacup of sour milk, in which q teaspoon
of soda has been dissolved. If the
dough is too hard to work nicely, add a
little cold water These cookies are
nice after having been kept some
time.
CLEANING OIL-CLoTHS.-To ruin OIL
cloths, clean them with hot water or
soap-suds and leave them half wiped,
and they will look very bright when wet
and very dingy and dirty when dry and
soon check and peel off. But if you
wish to preserve them and have them
look new and nice, wash them with soft
flannel and luke-warm water and wipe
thoroughly dry. If you want them to
look extra nice after they are dry, drop
few tablespoonful of milk over them
and rub them with a small cloth.

They are easily made, and are delicious.
CAFE A LA TURQUE.-In copper
coffee-pot, bring water to its first full
boil. After having ground the coffee
in an ordinary mill, screw it (the mill)
to its finest possible capacity and re-
grind the coffee, which becomes almost
dust. To every cup of water add a
heaping teaspOonful of this coffee dust,
thrown dry into the boiling water; take
it a second from the fire, let it come
again to a boil, and repeat the cere-
mony three times, and if the coffee be
true Mocha it is a nectar fit for the gods
1t must be sweetened to the taste whilst
on the fire.-An Oriental Traveller IN

KEEPING TIE HANDS SMOOTH.-A
writer in the american Grocer says that
glvcerine is not used in the right way
She asserts that to preserve the smooth
ness and softness of the hands, keep 8
small bottle of glycerine near the place
where you habitually wash them, anc
whenever you have finished washing
them, and before wiping them, put one
or two drops of the gylcerine on the we
palm and rub the hands thoroughly
with it as if it were soap, then dry light
" with towel. Household work anC
bad weather will not prevent your skin
from being smooth and soft if this plar
of using glycerine is followed.

lives and SIS, 600, 900 of property. These
floods were followed by very disastrous
floods in July in Switzerland, Silesia,
Hindostan, England, and again in
France, by which several hundred lives
and vast amounts of property were de-
stroyed. In the same month Russia
was visited by long succession of in
cendiary fires, kindled by discomfort
ed serfs, which destroyed eighteen
towns and villages. In August cholera
broke out in Syria, and swept away 81
600 people. In September the coast of
Texas was devastated by food, which
destroyed 400 lives In addition to these
casualties, famine during the year
swept away 10000 people in Asia Minor,
and an epidemic Of measles carried off
nearly 1900 Fiji Islanders. 1t is with
in bounds to say that nearly 10000
lives have been lost by the casualties of
the Chicago Tribune.

Mice as Till-ThieYeS.

Col. Howard B. Ensign, President of
the Maryland Steamboat Company, and
the Treasurer and Secretary, Mr.. Byrd,
have for the past several weeks missed
from the office, corner of Light and
Camden Streets, some odds and ends OF
money which were left over night in the
cash drawer, in notes of the denOmina-
tons of from 10 to 80 cents, and also D.
cent nickles. One night last week S1.3O
was taken from the drawer. Last Sat
urdav night S431 was left in the drawer,
out of which was missed yesterday 20
cent note and two 10-cent notes. Col
Ensign had his suspicious aroused inre.
gard to some of the hands of the Com
panv, who had access to the office both
during the night and at an early hour
in the morning, before the officials OF
the Company were about. He, hOwev-
er, said nothing, and yesterday morn
inc concluded to make a thorough eX-
animation of the desk, so as to ferret
out the way and manner in which the
cash was purlOined. The desk of the
Secretary, Mr. Byrd, has eight drawers
-four on either Side-the cash-drawer
being the upper one upon the right Of
the desk, with money-apartments lined
with tin. Upon a careful investigation
it was found that some of the notes that
had been left in the drawer looked as if
they had been nibbled at by mice, and
upon opening two other drawers a num-
Der of papers were observed to be mutt
lated. The fact at once became appar-
ent to Col. Ensign that the thieves were
mice, which fact was established beyond
doubt when, upon opening the fourth
and lower drawer, all of the money that
had been missed was found therein, sew
eral 1O-cent notes having been pretty
well nibbled, but those of larger denom-
nations having been untouched. The
notes were slowed in one corner of the
drawer, aid in the center of the pile
was a nest which the mice had made
out of this rather costly material.-Bal-
timOre Gazette.

The Disasters of 1875.

The year 1875 has been a fruitful one
in casualties and disasters. In April,

600 by fire. In May occurred the most
disastrous shipwreck of the year-that
of the steamer Schiller, off the Scilly

feed. In the same month the extern
sive forest fires in Pennsylvania involved
a loss of S3,000,000 and the tornadoes
in the South 800 Lives. June was marked
by terrible disasters. An earthquake in
New Grenada swallowed up 10000 per-
sons. and the disastrous floods in the
South of France destroyed nearly 5000
