WASHINGTON, November l3.-Through
a gentleman in an official position, who
has Just arrived from Paris, as well as
through private letter received to-day, It
Is ascertained that the friends Of General
Noyes, our Minister to France, con.
template his early return from Paris next
spring, for the purpose Of taking an active
part Ia the Presidential campaign. He Is
at present making an Eastern trip, desiring
to improve his opportunities for foreign
travel before his return. Among those in-
mate with the legation, II Is generally uu.
derstood that he will return as slated.
This will necessitate his resignation, since
he does not care TO appear on tho stump
while holding diplomatic position.
The same sources oi Information bring
thetnteresting news that Mr.. Halstead, OF
tho CinnCi inati Commercial, Is expected by
the American colony Ia Paris as tho sue.

The news excites lively interest in cir.
cleSS which have heard II here. The gen.
eral expression Is that he Ia eminentIy
lifted Tor this particular post, and that Il

friends that his knowledge Of the French

him from the most Of Mr.. Evatts' appoint

Medical Eject. OF Onions .

A mother writes: Twice a week in
variably-and it was generally when we
had cold meat minced-I gave the chill
dren a dinner which was hailed with de-
light and looked forward to; this was a
dish of boiled onions. The little things
knew not that they were taking the best
of medicine for expelling what most chill
dren suffer from-worfns Mine were
kept free by this remedy alone. Not only
boiled onions for dinner, but chives also
they we're encouraged to eat with there
bread and butter, and for this purpose
they had tufts of chives in their gardens.
1t was a medical man who taught me to
eat boiled onions as specific for cold in
the chest. He did not know at the time,
till told him, that they were good for
anything else" A case is now under our
own observation, in which a rheumatic
patient, an extreme sufferer, finds great re-
lief from eating onions freely, either cook
ed or raw. He asserts that it is by no
means a fancy, and he says so after hav-
ing persistently tried Turkish baths,
galvanism, and nearly all the potions of
plasters that are advertised as certain
alternatives or cures.

A Weddinx on enc st.xe.

There was marriage on the New Haven
stage on Thursday evening, and the gallery
was struck with awe. After the close ofthe
regular performance it was announced
that Mr.. James Jones, of Jones & CrestOn,
the rifle shots, would be united in mar
riage to Miss Josephine Blanchard, mem
Der of the company. After Miss Farrand
and the Ross sisters had finished dancing,
the curtain was lowered, and the Orches-
ira played the Wedding March" The
curtain was then rung up, disclosing the
happy couple surrounded by the entire
company. After the applause had ceased
Hugh Daley, as justice of the peace, step
ped forward and performed the solemn
service of the Episcopal church. During
the ceremony the whole audience, from
the students in the boxes to the boys in the
gallery, preserved perfect silence. When
Mr.. Daley left the stage and the curtain
was lowered, storms Of applause followed.
In sespOnse the newly married couple
came before the curtain-the first encore
of their welded life Why the justice of
the peace should have manifested an un-
due preference for the rites of the EpiscO-
pal church, and not have contented him.

Fou HIS Musical Inventions.

The history Of music plainly shows that
the elements of the musical art were in a
manner systematized from the very earliest
ages of mankind. The Chinese have re-
cords of one of their emperors who fixed
the twelve degrees of the chromatic scale
at the wake-and- nd-call-me-early period of
346S b. c. The potentate in question was
named Fou Hi the First. He invented
several instruments, Improvements upon
which have made the fortune of many an
INSCRIPTIONS invader of Chinese patents
in these our times. Among his instru-
ments were, of course, the bones, which,
when ratified by Fou Hi the First gave
forth celestial harmony. His bones were
a peculiarly prime order of article, better
than those in use in these degenerate
days. The lowness of the standard of
national tastes in America to-day was never
more distinctly shown than in the utter
indifference of the average auditor as to
what minstrel's bones are made of, SO
that they rattle as Justify as any sucking
dove will roar Fou Hi, with that nicely
of taste invariably observably in the fabri.
peoples, always insisted upon having his
bones made of the right shank of infants
of good ancestry, specially massacred in
the neatest way, for the purpose of manu-
facture. The bones were the first instru.
ment Fou Hi invented, but his genius
soon took a wider flight, and he dropped
them for another, namely, the Tyre, in
drawing the long bow upon which he was
excelled even by his biographers.-( Har

Unmitisated Love.

A marriage was, brought about under
difficulties by two inmates of the Colum-
bus asylum Of the blind. They stole out
slyly, fOuB, their way to a clergyman, and
were united. The bride returned for her
clothing and was imprisoned In a second
story room; but she made rope out of
sheets, slid down to the ground, and re-
joined her husband. One of pair of
lovers In st. Cloud, Mimi, could not un-
dcrstand German, and the other could not
understand English. yet they managed to
come to an understanding on the question
of matrimony. The difficulty in the case
of Troy burglar was his incarceration in
jail; but the girl induced a minister to go
with her to the prison and perform the
ceremony. The bridal tour was deferred
for two years. The parents of a San Fran
cisco girl were willing, and the opposition
came from the family of the young man,
who was locked in his room by his father.
So the girl drove to the house at night,
and helped him to escape, thus reversing
the usual conditions of an elopement.

Stimulating A Corpse.

An astounding case of imposition has
taken place at Altrincham, England. A
pOOrly-cla woman went to the house of
Miss Fairbank, at Bowdon, represented
that she was in an abject state of poverty
and destitution. and that her husband was
lying dead in the house. Miss Fairbank
informed the applicant she was not In
the habit of giving assistance without Wis
iting the houses Of those seeking it. The
woman asked her to be good enough to
do this, and she subsequently did so. She
found every appearance Of squalor and
destitution. and to verify the truth of the
woman's statement she went up stairs to
see the corpse, which was scarcely cover
ed with rags. On going down stairs, she
gave the woman some money and went
away, leaving, leaving the umbrella in-thc
house. She afterwards returned for the
umbrella, when she was Mortified and dis
gusted to find the corpse" and his wife
dancing about the kitchen, apparently de-
lighted with the success of their unnat-
ural rascality.

How Curran saw a villain.

Curran once met his match IN a pert
jolly, keen eyed son of the sod, who acted
as hostler at stable, and who was up as
a witness in case of dispute in the
matter of horse trade. Curran much de-
sired to break down the credibility Of this
witness, and thought to do it by making
the man contradict himself--by tangling
him up in a network of adroitiy framed
questions; but all to no avail. The
hOstler was companion to Sam
Weller. His good common sense and
his equanimity and great good nature
were not to be overturned. BY and by
Curran, in towering wrath, belched forth,
as not another counsel would have dared
to do in the presence Of the court:
"Sirrah, you are incorrigible! The
truth is not to be got from you, for it is
not in you, see the villain in your facep'
"I' faith, yer honor" said the witness,
with the utmost simplicity of truth and
honesty, my face must be moity clane
and shinin' indade, il it can reflect like
thatr'
For once in his life the gieat barrister
was floored by simple witness. He
could not recover from that repartee, and
the case went against him.

The Chinese In Havana.

Havana has very large Chinese popu
lation. Coolies were imported until with
in few years in great numbers, and sold
under contract of eight years of service.
When this period expired the coolies ma
turally gravitated toward the cities, and q
nucleus once formed, soon spread, until
whole sections are now peOpled almost
exclusively with these Mongolians. A
few of them have accumulated some
wealth, nearly all are Industrious, but
with the great mass it is serious question
as to the provision for even the meagre
food which satisfies their idea of living.
Their young men are fond of initiating
the ways, dress. and diversions of the
Cuba blood" There is something ex-
ceedingly funny, not to say grotesquely
pathetic, in the sight of Chipaman peer
ing out from the highest "Piccadillies, I"
and adorned with stylish silk hat, a cane,
acquire all the vices, if not all the virtues
of this cosmopolitan city.
The Chinese too have their theatre. The
approach thereto is through dark and
narrow streets meagrcly lighted by a sick.

eating houses whose signs are in Oriental
characters. A little hole in q
