It is the opinion of the true gourmet that of all marine panfish there is none to compare with the smelt (Osmerus mordaxl. This primary rank is its own by reason of its d,licaCy and delicious flavor. and when fried a light brown in very fine Tread crumbs and served with melted butter there Is none that dis putCs it's pTc-CmirCnCc. Its delightful flavor, however, as well as its peculiar odor i, cvancscent Like tho mackerel, it cannot hr tno fresh.
 It iS from it's odor that the smelt de- rivCs not only its familiar but Latin name, ;II ulOr SO aggressive of sliced CucumlHrs that. if its presence be mani fest only to thc sense of smell, people arc often de!u,iCd into such supposition. This OtiOr l. not marked except i'll the freshly caught fish and disappears in the cooking. giving place, however. to a fitting resurrection of the smelt to an oifactory sense still more savory and de liuhtful. Market Review
 NAPOLEON'S MIRACULOUS ESCAPES. He sceiueh to Live In n Charmed Circle and
 Went About With No Fear.
 In reply to the question in what en- agreements he considered himself to have been in the greatest danger of los ing his life Napoleon once said. Tn the commencement of my campaigns. '" Indeed if further proof were demanded to show that he did not spare himself ut Toulon it is only necessary to add that, during the 10 weeks of its siege, Napoleon, in addition to a bayonet wound in his thigh. had three horses shot under him, while at the siege of Acre during the expedition to Egypt he lost no fewer than four in the same manner.
 During the last days of his life. when captivity, disappointment and sickness had well nigh completed their work, it Is said that the agony of his fatal dis ease drew from him on many occasions the pitiful cry of, 'Why did the cannon balls spare me?''
 During his long military career Ma poleon fought GO battles. while Cesar fought but 90. In the early part of his career he was utterly reckless of danger while on the battlefield, and this spirit of fearlessness contributed largely to the love and esteem in which he was held by his armies. There was curious belief among the English in Napoleon s time that he had never been wounded, and indeed the report was current that he carefully, if not in a cowarlly man. ner, refrained from exposing himself. Nothing could be more contrary to the truth, for he was in reality several times severely wounded, but as he wish ed to impress upon his troops the belief that good fortune never deserted him. and that. like Achilles, he was we'll nigh invulnerable he always made a secret of his many dangers. He there fore enjoined once for all upon the part of his immediate staff the most absolute silence regarding all circumstances of this nature, for it is almost impossible to calculate the confusion and disorder which would have resulted from the slightest report or the smallest doubt relative to his existence. Upon the sin gle thread of this mans life depended not only the fate and government of a great empire, but the whole policy and destiny of Europe as we'll.

WHERE Is TIE ooLUMB1A9

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1s94.-Until to-
day the Navy Department had mot heard
from Captain Sumner of the Columbia
since November %, when he reported
by cable the arrival of the Columbia
at Caimaneva, Cuba.
Today two cablegrams We're received
from him, one dated Kingston, Jamaica,
December 9, and the other from Caiman-
eva, December 10. For economy in cable
tolls naval dispatches contain nothing
but the address, date, place and sigma
ture showing the whereabouts of the
ship When leaving one port for an
other it is usual to include the. destina-
tion in the message. In the two despatch
es from Captain Sumner rigid economy
was preserved and in consequence it Is
not definitely known where the Columbia
now is, although it is supposed that she
touched at Kingston on Sunday and in in
mediate1y returned to Caimaneva as the
vessel would hardly have time to go to
Bluefields and return in ten days, Naval
officials think she has been at Caimane-
va since November %.

BLIXTs LATEST CONFESSION.

MINNEAPOLIS, Mimi, Dec. 10, 1884,
About midnight last night Blixt made
another confession in which he said
that he himself committed the murder.
Hayward had interested Miss Cling in
a green goods business and drove with
her from the West House, until they
reached the corner of Hennepin and
Franklin avenues, about two miles from
where the murder was committed Blixt
and Miss Cling drove around the end of
the lake, and Miss Cling became anxious
and began to ask about Hayward. When
they reached the scene of the murder
she was looking out the side of the
buggy and while in this position Bli&t
shot her. He drove about the country
about an hour and when he was salts
fed that she was dead he threw the
body out and went home. Blixt had been
told by Hayward to take Miss Ging's
sealskin cloak and after a few weeks
pawn it to give color to the theory that
Miss Cling had been robbed.
