Marshal Uanrobert's Romance.

Marshal Canrobert, says the White
hall Recie,O, inhabits a small hotel in
the Rue de Marignan. Like most French
soldiers he is careless of luxury, and
busieIhimselfbut little about the fine arts
The first thing that strikes one Oh enter.
ing is little perambulator hidden away
under the staircase; the walls are GOV.
cred with the most modest engravings,
water-color sketches, and photographs,
which do not speak we'll of the marshars
taste in les beau1 arts.
And now would say few words OF
Nine. lie Marechale. At the close of
Crimean campaign, one evening at a
reception held at the ministere des f.
nances, as Marshal Canrobert entered
the salon, a young lady, whose remark
able beauty was not q little enhanced by
her simple dress of plain white tullc.
came with shy boldness up to the hero
and said:
m. le Marechal will do with mo as
he did with the Russians. and make me
dancer"
"You forget. mademoiselle. that there
is an armistice now"
"And free pardon and amnesty for
my boldness. I hopeP"
Without replying. the marshal offered
the young lady his arm, and. bringing
her up to young officer who happened
to be standing near. said:
"Tenez. monsieur! Dance this qua
drille with mademoiselle, and bear in
mind that tonight marshal of France
envies q sub-lieutenant."
Before many years had passed the
young and beautiful Miss Flora Macdon-
aid, who had aspired to dance with the
ooadjutor of Marshal Pelissier, had be-
come Mime. le Marechale Canrobert.
After having waited few minutes in
the salon above mentioned, servant
announces that NJ. le Marechale is ready
to receive you, and, mounting to the
second floor, you are ushered into the
presence of the old warrior in his den;
a simple room, without any ornament
but Uttered with books bearing ON mil
itary matters, newspaper, maps, ETC.
Marshal Canrobert Is about 40, and of
medium height His gray hair is very
curly. and the ensemble of his face is
most agreeable, the forehead being high
and intellectual. and the glance from his
eyes kind but keen, brilliant and pene-
trating. His carriage Is stern and reso-
Lutte, but the back is o little bowed, and
the head inclined to one side when the
marshal speaks. The tone of his voice
Is splendid; it rings, and the slight
southern accent lends an irresistible
charm to the bold. frank. soldierly words
Of greeting with which you are made
welcome.

Whittier's Opinion of Boiled DINER.

The old-fashioned New England
beverage cider WAS mentioned, and
Mr.. Whittier stated that he had on 9
derived much benefit when unwell,
"when nothing tasted good" from
the use of cider. Huntington sug.
gesled that without cider we should
not have vinegar. WELL said
Whittier, vinegar is not OF much
use, after ALL" Except" replied
Huntington. "to eat on cabbage and
cucumbers." Neither of which are
tit To he eaten" remarked the poet.
Il think 1t would he Il good idea to
start u prohibition party on those
two articles. AS for cabbage, IL il
not lit to be eaten; if you cook II in
the house, you have got To burn your
house down afterward to get rid Of
the smell; 1t is certainly the most
diabolical smell that was ever in
Vented and Whittier, who was sit
ting near the open stove CRATE. upon
the top of which he had deposited his
tall hat. folded his hands and laughed
a hearty silent laugh. "Wllat do you
llllih VI ouiO.:o, NJ. " uittiCi: 'ohVt
l. "Wel!," he replied, "oniOns are
not quite so bad, for You can get rid
of the smell Of those in three III four
days." Then" said Huntington
you would not approve of the old
fashioned boiled dinneri' mo. /
think that is detestahle dish. re
member that my father used to have
it, in which cabbage, onions, beets.
POTATOES. turnips anu carrots were ali
boiled up together, and turned into Il
great dish all in heap. with a great
greasy piece of meat in the middle. l
think that is the reason why the pre-.
sent generation is not SO strong us the
former. 1t is owing to the way the
parents lived, eating SO much pork
and potatoes. Our last war showed
that. The farmers were not nearly
rs strong as the men recruited in the
cities - Portland, Portsmouth. and
Boston," But the people in the cities
do not have the free air we get In the
country, said Huntington. Il know
that" replied Whittier; but they
live better, and that makes great
difference. "-GeOrge NJ. White, in

Training OFF.

In the present eager struggle for eX-
istence, still more in the ambitious race
for pre-eminenco, ovcrwork is manifest
ing itself on all sides, and in all posi-
tons in life. Overstudy il telling upon
our students in this craze for examine
tions, when every person has TO be a
perambulating encyclopedia, no matter
what the state of the physique when the
educational course has terminated. The
number of eases OF self-destructiOn from
anxiety and nervousness among young
men preparing for modern examinations
is appalling. Of old the young man
who had "overstudied" was weak
minded youth, whose brain broke down
before an ordinary, commonplace edu.
catiOnal course, easily surmounted by
an average intellect. Now il is no un-
common thing 10 know young men who
complain that they no longer feel an
interest in their work, and that they can.
not remember what they read; that their
sleep is broken, aud that they no longer
possess the power of self-control they
once enjoyed. When such loss of self.
control is found along with the periods
of deep depression, then tho temptation
to suicide may become irresistible.
Such breakdOwns after moro or less
brilliant scholastic career are, unfortu-
natsly, now no uncommon event. In
deed, it may be laid down rs broad
rule for the guidance Of youthful stu
dents that so soon rs the interest in their
studies flags. or the memory is bccom-
ing less retentive. they are distinctly
overworking. In athletics the terms
used are to train on" and TO "train
off," To .train on" indicates growing
power and increasing fitness for exer-
ton; in other words, Improvement"
To strain off" signifies wanting in
power. or falling Off" in capability.
So long then as study carries with it
wanting capacity it is "work;" when on
the other hand. the student feels "train-
ing off," then the bOundry has been
passed and tho domain of 'overwork'
entered. Still more urgent does the
case become when. along with sense
of waning power, the sleep is broken
and undressing or the digestion is up
set. The danger signals have indeed
been run through, in railway phrasoolo-
gy, when these things arc experienced.
Such are the usual phenomena of over
work. manifested along with symptoms
peculiar to each case--G00I Words.

A Russian Dasnerado.

Southern Russia now rejoices in the
capture and incarceration Of one Ma
mai. who Is apparently Russian edi.
ton of the late Mr. James, of Missouri.
For a score Of years he has been the ter
ror Of that portion of the empire. Last
October he was arrested and locked up
in prison at Nicolaeff. Although ia
nous as prison-breaker, the authori-
ties appear to have placed no special
watch over him. and, in consequence,
he nearly escaped by digging u subter-
ranean passage one hundred feet long
from his cell to the outer wall. Prison
excavations are so common In Russia
that the only merit about Mamai's was
the length of it, but 1t was an uncom-
mon feature in his case that he should
have been discovered at last through
the treachery Of fellow prisoner. since
honor prevails among thieves in Russia
as elsewhere, and the traitor would
himself have had a chance to escape
with the rest rs soon as the passage was
finished. Rebuffed In this attempt, Ma
mai waited while, and then one after
noon, when policeman came to his
cell, he threw him down, gagged him,
and donned his uniform. The following
day. having exchanged the uniform for
apeasant's dress. he went into the mar
ket, and. choosing the best cart stand
ing without its driver. drove away to
Kherson. Here he was recognized out
side public house. by n police officer,
who touched him On the shoulder and
said, what, Mamai. you hereP' Ger
tainly." replied the fugitive, and knock
ed him fiat on his back; and before the
officer could recover his senses Mamai
was out of sight. At present he is again
in his old cell in the Nicolaeff jail,
but he says he will not be there long,
and the Golos significantly remarks that
1.-THE NicOlaeff people believe him.
