Almost Asphuxidted.

Poe r and badly managed coal stoves are in
deed dangerous household article. At least
John Dubay, who resides at 1925 Ninth street
north, Gales second addition, thinks So. On
Friday one of his children pushed two sheets
of mica out of his coal stove, Midnight
burner" and the two large apertures
thus made, narrowly escaped caus-
ing the death of eight people,
himself, wife, five children and the hired girl.
opening from the room in which the defective
stove was, were in the three bedrooms IN
which the family slept At about O'Clock
Yesterday morning Mr.. Dufay was awakened
by the faint crying of one of his children.
He found it extremely difficult to sufficiently
arouse himself to go to the aid of the child.
He found the whole family had been nearly
asphx lated by inhalation of the poisonous
carbon gas which hadescaped from the stove.
The whole family was deathly sick, but the
hired girl suffered most, and was unable to
leave her bed yesterday
Mr.. Dufay was called upon last night ny a
GLOBE reporter, who was informed that the
famil ' was much better, and all will probably
be well in few days.

The Cost of Fashion.

Among fashionable people the dress
ing during the last winter was enor-
mously expensive. The season was un-
usually gay that is, there were evening
entertainments on grand scale in con-
slant succession; and the demand for
wardrobes of various and original de-
signs was great beyond precedent. The
costumes, indeed, were too expensive,
and the whole business of society has
been pushed to such an extreme of
costly magnifcence that there must be
q reaction. Already the current has be-
gun to set toward simplicity. The rage
for house decoration, for bric-a-brac and
for elegant furniture has gone so far
that people are getting tired of it, and
now we find them stripping their draw
ing-rooms of superfuous articles once
highly priced, lowering the tones Of
their colors and relieving them of cum
bersome hangings. There is always the
danger that you may make the frame Of
your picture so gorgeous that it will dis
tract attention from the painting itself.
You can so crowd your rooms with
strong and brilliant colors that, dress
them ever so beautifully, your guests
will seem mean by comparison.

Dark D0rck.

A few months since young sprig, Charley
Darck, was arrested at the instance of his
father, who runs the Market hotel on North
First street, for the robbery of large sum of
money. The money was recovered, and the
paternal heart softened toward the prodigal
offspring. AS consequence Mr.. Darck ac-
complished the release of his son, who was
forthwith reinstated in the affections of his
family. The propensity to steal appears to be
pretty deeply and firmly engrafted into the
dark youth, for yesterday again upon the COM
plant of the father he was ushered into the
presence OF Judge Cooley, this time for the
larceny of an overcoat. A fine of $75 was
imposed, but as the young and festive Darck
was unable to raise the ducats, he was incar-
cerated in the county Jail where he will Ian
guish the next ninety days unless the father
weakens again and gets him released.

Bismarck's Escape from Death.

Hard by, where the Kleine Mauer
strasse debouches into the Linden,
Prince Bismarck had a narrow squeak
for existence at the hands of young
Blind, not many months before I first
made the personal acquaintance of the
eminent German statesman. It was not,
however, till the autumn of 1867 that,
one night during long tete-a-tete with
which he honored me in his old house in
the Wilhelm strasse, he gave me a de-
tailed and graphic account Of his rencon-
ter with Blind, and placed my finger on
the bony excrescence which had devel-
oped itself on one of his lower ribs in
consequence of the injury inflicted
thereon by bullet discharged from
Blinds revolver at a moment when its
muzzle was in actual contact with the
Chancellors body.
81 owe my extraordinary escape from
death, he observed, "partly to the SOL
idity and hardness of my rib, and partly
to the strength Of my muscles. Blind
had scarcely raised his pistol when
grappled with him, and got his right
arm in tight grip, which I never re-
Taxed until he was secured by a patrol
Of the guard. Of the five shots he fired
while we were struggling, only this
one" pointing to his side, s'took effect,
for [ had my wits about me and managed
to keep his pistol-hand bent outward,
except just at the end of the tussle,
when he succeeded in turning the barrel
full upon my body. But the bullet,
though it stung me so sharply that
thought it had gone clean through me,
only glanced off my rib. I ran much
more imminent risk from the fair-play
instincts of an honest Prussian guards
man than I did from that foolish lads
revolver. You see, he was a smallish
fellow, and I am rather a big one.
While we were wrestling, my hat fell
off, and I suppose my bald head proved
tempting object to one Of the soldiers
who ran up to see what was the matter,
hearing the report Of the pistol; for this
worthy fellow, perceiving tall man, as
he fancied, il-treating short youth,
dubbed his rifle, and would assuredly
have brought the butt end down with a
crash upon my bare pate had I not
caught sight of his attitude in time to
shout out, Hold on I am Bismarck -
upon which he dropped his weapon in a
much greater fright than even my own. "

The Radgo,,s Inquest.

Yesterday afternoon Coroner Fairbairn held
an inquest upon the remains of Mrs. Radgom,
who is supposed to have been murdered by her
husband, Herman Radgom. The jurors were
II. L. Howe, L. A. Dunn, j. L. Parker, H. L..
Wodburn, P. Felt and E. A. Henderson.
Mrs. Bussom testified that she called at Mrs.
Radgom's room; Mrs. r. was suffering seri-
GUS iBjury; said her husband had kicked and
beaten her.
Mrs. Kenyon, who occupies a room next
adjoining that of Mrs. R., the night of the
18th, heard Radgom beating his wife.
Zone of the physicians who assisted in the
post mortem examination of the body, testi-
fled that the woman died from peritonitis, and
the jury brought in verdict in accordance,
but that the same had been superinduced by
the blows administered by her husband. Rad
gom will be arraigned in the municipal court
on Monday.

There is a man living in the mount
aims of North Carolina, says the Louis
vile Com.ier-Jom7aal, no more than
forty miles from Greenville, s.. c., who
has reached the extraordinary age of 143
years. At the time of Braddock's defeat
he was 20 years old, and had a wife and
three children. A gentleman at Green
vile states that this man, who comes
down to us from former generation,
has always been in moderate circum-
stances, lived upon acoarse vegetable diet,
that he has never drank any water but
spring water and bids fair to live many
. years longer. He enjoys perfect health,
possesses all of manhood's attributes,
and wishes to marry. He has survived
seven wives, and, having lost his last
one about sixty years ago, he now be-
gins to feel lonely.

Last Friday Thos. Conway had little spree.
He had about 800 when he started out that
morn ing, but by nightfall he had not cent to
purch ase supper. He happened in at the
saloon next TO the city market, and was hay
ing jolly time. He purchased piano from
the proprietor of the saloon, paying therefor
S35 in cash. A dispute arose respecting the
piano spread. Conway claimed that it was in
cluded in the bargain, while the saloon keeper
asserted that it was not, and refunded the
money to prevent trouble. In the meantime
Conway was drinking more bug juice than he
could manage, and soon after succumbed to
its influences and fell into a heavy sleep.
One of the men in the saloon
who had been drinking and making merry at
Conway's expense, was kind enough to rifle
his pockets of some 500. 1t so happened that
q colored man was q sober witness of the rob-
berry, and can identify the sharper, and will be
given an opportunity to do so as soon as he
is caught.

A "Reminiscences of John Brown.

Mr.. Thomas B. Musgrove, the New
York banker, says {: Gone day in the
summer of 1859 I was sitting in the dry
goods house of which I was the junior
partner, and my desk was in the middle
of the floor, as the junior partners al
ways is, when man came in whom I
recognized in a minute as John Brown.
He had been friend of my father, and
had nursed me on his knee when I was
a child. He took his seat on bale of
Osnaburgs. Osnaburgs were sort Of
bagging used at the time to bale cotton.
As Brown sat on the Osnaburg, he said /:
These are made of labor that ought to
be faee.' He repeated, feeling them in
his fingers, made of labor that ought to
be free.' He then said he wanted to see
the head of the firm, who was also his
friend. I said to him Mr.. Brown,
he is very busy just now. Can't at
tend to your business quite as well :?
What do you want? 4 want to get
some rifles he said, for Kansas. I
wanted some money well, Mr..
Brown said I, suppose I give you a
check for $50-won't that do?' 'That
will do very well, he said, 'and I need
not wait to see Mr.. -
81 wrote him the check, and he took
it and put it away, and that is the last
time I ever saw him. As he got up
from the Osnaburgs he said, shaking his
head: Made of labor that ought to be
Free A very little while passed, it
seemed to me two months, perhaps,
when picked up the paper and saw
that John Brown had made descent on
Harper's Ferry. I wrote to him, ex-
pressing my surprise that he was there,
and asking If anything could be done for
him. He replied that he would like to

troll it himself, suit Of snuff-colored
cloth or cashmere. His hair was of a

snuff colored cloth, and so were his eyes.
His lips always looked to me as if they
had water on them. He spoke with
good, fair grammar, and was an interest.
ing talker. I had the clothes made up
and sent to him to appear at the trial.
Not long after that a paper at Rich
mond published the names of Northern
firms whom nothing must be bought
from, and ours among the rest. My
partners came to me and said had
made a dreadful mistake, and must
drop out of the firm. I said that would
suit me very well indeed, and I sc Id out

COLD DRINKS. is true, remarks
DR.. J. Fl. Hanaford, that certain per-
sons, or persons in certain conditions,
cannot take very cold drinks at or near
the meal time without impairing diges-
ton, since the stomach must be kept at
about 9S deg. Fab. that digestion may
be reasonably successful. Even a slight
depression in the temperature of the
stomach is sufficient to arrest the diges-
tive process, temporarily, at least, and,
OF course, derange the stomach. This
small, it is true would be inju-
dicious in the use of any cold drinks OF
very cold food, though it is by no means
needful to use tea or coffee on this &C
count, since hot water, properly pre-
pared, may take their places. The use
of ice water, especially in the hot sea-
son, when the system is so debilitated
as not to be able to rally after unusual
chill, necessarily following a copious
drink of ice-water, must prove unfavor-
able. 1t not only expels the natural
heat of the stomach, but lessons the
natural flow of the gastric juice-if ii
does not totally suspend ton the sup
ply Of which good digestion must de-
pend, in great measure. Indeed, the
influence of the use of very cold drinks
is to produce fabbiness about the stom-
ach, indigestion, sensation Of heavi-
ness, "tasting of the food" long after
it is taken. It ordinarily leads to the use
of stimulants to aid in digestion, en-
couraging intemperance. In short, the
stomach is debilitated by such course
producing more or less dyspepsia.

Mr.. Blaine's Retirement.

From The st. Paul Pioneer Press (Rep.)
Mr.. Blaine has wonderful vitality
and capacity for growth, at an age
when many politicians find their con
victions, beliefs and methods ossified,
and it is not impossible that he
might have succeeded in giving the
party those fresh, live issues, which
it was the study of his brief term of
service in the Cabinet to invent; but
fate snatched the opportunity from
his grasp, and he lost his last chance
when Garfield died. Again wiser
than his rivals, he took with him his
old furniture of political theories
and principles, of which the people
were tired, left the new issues be had
hoped to warm into life in the egg,
and gracefully retired from public
life, leaving the record of a long,
arduous and often useful public SER
vice, free from tina stain of an unfit
ting close. Mr.. Blaine's exit from
the sta ge is more graceful, dgnifed
and worthy than that of any of the
group of old leaders to which he be
longed, and the generation whose
verdict is most to be dreaded by
a politician, will hold him in respect
full if not envious remembrance, very
different from the cordial detestation
visited upon his great rivals in the
day of their reluctant expulsion from
the stage where they had SO long
strutted and wrangled
