WHAT A CIPHER LETTER DID.-A cipher letter has wrought considerable mischief in the Russian revolutionary camp. There was woman in prison in St Petersburg charged with being implicated in the attempt upon the life of Gen. Metzentzef She had been in. formed that two of the officers who would be on guard in her prison on certain day, nam- ed Gujendoff and Scharfenberg, might be trusted to receive and forward information respecting the treatment of her Nihllist fellow prisoners The letter conveying to her this information was in cipher, and was carefully mislaid by Malinofskaja in her cell It was found by some of the authorities and so they became aware of the existence of plot to re- lease all the prisoners, in which the conspira- tors were to have the assistance of the officers above named; these men were immediately arrested AtScharfenbergs house the cards of number of medical students were found, and this led to their arrest.

BRlLLAT-SAvARlN IN HARTFORD. Brilat. | Savarin, the author of PhySOtOgie dU GOUt, | fled from the French revolutionary tribunal in | t793 and was three years in New York where | he supported himself by teaching French and | playing in the orchestra of theatre. During his sojourn he visited Hartford. and, within fifteen miles of here, shot wild turkey. A
 man who should go out days hereabouts for such game would be considerably wilder than the turkeys but Brillat-Sevarin found a whole flock of them. The New York Era condenses the following from the great gastron- omist's own account.
 During his sojourn he visited Hartford, he was the guest of "an old American farmer" who lived in the backwoods, andpromlsed him good shooting, gray squirrels, cartridges, and wild turkeys One fine morning in October, 1794, in company with friend, he set out, mounted on hack horse, for the farm five martal leagues distant" On their arrival they sat down to a well-provided table. A magnfi- cent piece of corned beef, @ stewed goose, and a splendid haunch of mutton, vegetables in plenty, and two huge foaming pots of excel lent cider.
 The next day they began their sport, and the author of the ''Physiologie du Gout" had the happiness of shooting wild turkey. "We shot,, he says, 1.-two or three of those small, delicate, fat little cartridges, which are such tender eating. We then knocked down six or seven gray squirrels, which are much esteem ed in the neighborhOod. Ultimately our lucky star led us into flock of wild turkeys. They rose at short interval one after the other, making great noise. flying fast and scream ing. 1 took steady aim at straggler, and the bird fell dead" On returning to the farm they found supper ready, which they ate like fam ished men, crowning the entertainment withan ample bowl of punch.
 During the ride back to Hartford the great gastronomist was troubled as to how he should cook his turkey, fearing he would not find in that town every ingredient he required, ''for wished to elevate trophy by displaying my prey to advantage. 1 make painful sacri- flee" he says, ''by suppressing the details of my intense labor /, the object of which was to give distingue dinner Let it suffice to say that had the wings of the cartridges served en pGpiSLOtte, and the gray squirrels stewed in Ma deira. As regards the turkey it was pleasing to the eye, futtering tothe smell, and delicious to the taste. Thus, when the last particle had vanished, there was an universal murmur of applause: Very good exceedingly good Oh, dear sir, what glorious bit ?"
 Although BrilIat- -Savarn failed to tell us how he cooked his turkey, we know that he must have frequently pasted it with butteran it's own drippings. One cannot haste turkey too thoroughly. We scarcely think that he was able to obtain truffles wherewith to stuff it, but chestnuts in October he could not fail to obtain.-C CourGnt. .....
