1861, Paris was Invaded by newly-ap-
pointed Ministers and consuls-Cassius

Marsh, bound for Italy; Anson Rur-
lingame, waiting to see If Austria
would receive him, and one or two
others, besides Fremont who was on a
special mission to purchase arms. OF
evenings, ut the Hotel du Louvre, the
fun was " fast and furious" "and all the
stories that had done duty on the stump
during the preceding campaign were
told again for the benefit of those who
had spent the summer Of go abroad and
missed it all. Burlingame," said a
Kentuckian who happened to be Of the
party" tell 'em about the gal in red. -"
Burlingame colored up, looked at Clay,
and seemed puzzled. "Tcll it," said
Clay; "its out, and they may rs we'll
hear it," And this was the story: At
one time, several years ago, Burlingame
and Clay were stump,mg together In
the West. One evening they had re-
ceived a particularly warm reception,

they were sitting in their room, smok-

music were heard outside. "They are

window and make 'em a speech" " No,
you," said Burlingame. But Clay per-
sisted, so Burllngame stepped to the
window, opened it, and began, Fellow

One of the popular errors in this
country is that which regards eating
heartily In the evening ~ detrimental
to health. Almost any one can find n
score of persons among his acquainC-
nnCe who have dinner ut two or three
o'clock In tho afternoon because they
are unwilling, later In the day to trust
their stomachs with anything more
solid than tea or toast. II they go
abroad, they look upon eating on board
the steamer, Of Welsh rurcbits and the
like at ten and eleven o'clock in the
evening, with much the same horror
that they would regard an excessive
use of liquor. But when once fairly
brought into contact with foreign
habits, say English dinners ut eight
and German suppers at ten p. H., they
usually fall back on the supposltion
that the usage of several generations
has fitted the digestive organs Of for
eigners to bear this excessive strain.
One worthy American lady dismissed
a native doctor in Paris rs cOnfessedly
incompetent because he recommended
for some dyspeptic trouble that she
should eat a hearty meal some two
hours before going to bed. Fortunately
his successor took the same stand and
though she considered the method OF
treatment as wholly wrong, she was
persuaded into following 1t, and what
Is mo re, was cured In spite Of herself.
If our physicians would make this
matter OF diet more n study, it would
fully repay them. 1t can not be that
we arc differently organized from our
brethren across the water, and hence
what long experience has shown to be
healthful for them can not prove other
wise fori'us. The strain which our
American habits Of eating puts upon
the system Is, that IL crowds the two
really lifc-giving meals. of tho day,
breakfast and dinner, close together,
and then leaves the body to fast sixteen
hours ont of twenty -four.

Ornafnentation without Money.

A good deal can be done by way Of
home adornment without using any
money, and IN these hard times that is
handsome picture the other day made
of licheps and moss, sticks, and other
things, which had been picked up in
the fields and woods. The scene was a
landscape, with trees, a house, fences,
hills and valleys, all composed of these
common articles, but uttogether with
such artistic skill, that it was very
charming. Another lady has rustic

tiny logs with tiny shingles, made

These can be made very cheap, and
look fully as nicely after they are
formed as those that arc made of more
! expensive material. | use cheap white
paper, shoe Dlacking, a backing brush,
and fine sieve, only using very
little blacking at a time, and brushing
lightly OH the sieve, being careful to
have each spattcr very small. a great
amount of artistic skill may be shown
in making these pictures. both in the
arrangement of the design and in the
shading. Notices In spattcrwork are
very handsome. One picture have,
even had cross, with trees and ferns
around 1t; back of one of the trees was
a deer, and above was a moon and stars.
1t was shaded to look like moonlight.
The designs are of course, innumcra-
bic. A great many pretty things can
be made OF straws, Dainty little pic
ture frames, delicate baskets, and
vases for artificial flowers. They are
far more durable than one would sup
pose they would be, and for variety the
straws may have tiny spiral winding
or gilt paper or some pretty color.

BARLEY SUGAR, ALMONDS AND HoRE-

ley sugar, a favorite candy with Eng
lish children, Is taken from al English
magazine: One and a half pounds of
nne loaf sugar should be broken into
small Jumps and boiled over the fire
with pint Of water. 1t should be
skinned carefully till 1t looks like glue,
and when dropped into cold water be-
comes brittle and will snap. The Juice
Of u lemon and six drops of essence of
lemon should now be added, the sugar
boiled up just once, and then tho bot
tom of the pan should be placed in
cold water till the first heat has SUBJ
sided. The preparation should then be
poured upon q marble slab, which has
been slightly smeared with butter. 1t
Will, of course, spread out, but 1t should
be drawn together with knife, and
kept as much as possible in q lump. AS
soon as 1t Is cool enough to handle,
pieces s.Jout the size of an egg may be
cut off, rolled to the form of round
sticks, and twisted slightly, as barley
sugar usually Is bought. These should
be put on an oiled sheet and left till
they are cold and stiff, when sugar
should be sifted slightly over them.
For burnt almonds take & pound of
almonds and bleach by scalding in hot

Thrce-quartcrs of Il pound of sugar

OF water, till the surface looks like
large pearls or globules, when Il few
drops Of prepared cochlneal, a few
drops of vanilla, or any other suitable
essence, and the almonds should be
thrown In and all stirred gently to-
gethcr with q wooden spoon, to detach
the sugar both from the bottom and

should be kept from sticking to the
bottom of the pan, and should be thor

the pan should be removed from the

end OF that time the almonds should be
picked out and the grained sugar put
again into the sugar boiler with Just
