A correspondent of the Detroit Free
Press, writing from Paris. tells the fol-
lowing anecdote of Gambetta, the
President of the French Chamber of
Deputies:
Ouce q lawyer, and settled in com.
Portable position, he launched forth
into public life. It was the era of Ma
poleons. Bonaparte III. had affected
the coup d etal, and was theu Emperor
of the French. His regime was now
established at the TuilerIes.
But it was q regime which Gambetta
intensely hated. His republican spirit
showed itself early in his political
speeches, and in the law courts where
he delivered himself fesrlessly of
TRADES against the reigning power Of
the time.
He was frequent visitor at the Cham.
Der of the Corps LegisIaty in those
days, and took lively interest in the
proceedings.
On one occasion, he was in the gal
lery when u member Of the Govern.
ment was highly eulogizing imperial
ism, and dwelling on its blessings.
&" Imperialism" said the Government
orator, "has been the pride, the glory,
and the happiness of France"
at is lls-a lie!' shouted voice
from the gallery.
"Who is the interrupter of our pro.
ceedings ?" asked the chairman, looking
up toward the visitors.
my name is Leon Gambetta," said
the lawyer, look of stern defiance on
his countenance.
This circumstance raised Gambetta
high in the esteem of the CURRIERS'.

The OVEN OF AuLD LANG SYNE.-
As an offset to the picture of hotel life
we give sketch of the old.fashioned
brick oven of half century ago: Sat
urdsy morning the oven wood was
called for-dry hard wood, cut the
length of the oven. A hot fire was
kept up until the bricks were red hot.
Then the brands were removed with
long-handled iron shovel and thrown
into the fireplace, and the oven was
swept with wooden broom kept spe-
cially for the purpose. A handful OF
-four was now thrown into the oven TO
ascertain its temperature. If the -four
burned black at once the oven was too
hot, and was allowed to cool. If the
flour burned dark brown the heat
was Just right and the beans and brown
bread were put in. After time, when
the oven had cooled off little, it was
filled up with pies, apple-sauce, and
white bread. After these were cooked
and removed, the oven was swept again
aud the bottom was covered with sweet
apples, thrown in to bake. Sunday
morning the children had baked apples
and milk, the staple breakfast dish be-
ing fish hash. The beans and brown
bread we're not taken out until dinner
time, Sunday, and not any cooking was
done on that day. 1t was to prevent
this necessity that brown bread and
beans became the regular Sunday diet.
