A Woman Among the So . 4 few days since we called attention to the fact that great excitement existed in Zanes- ville. Ohio, with regard to the disappearance of a Mr. Curtis, who it was said had divulged the secrets of the Sons of Malta, and had been spirited away by the members of the Order, to reat distress of his family and the aston- ment of the public,who searcely knew what think of the boldness of the proceeding. It out now that the expose which gave such ‘euce to the Order was not written by Curtis, wife, who comes out with an avowal ct, and gives it as her opinion that the are not to blame for bis disappearance. s Curtis writes a very amusing account r. Curtis and a Mr. Smith becoming Sons lia. and the natural curiosity of herself 1 Mrs. Smith to find out the secrets of the The two ladies —— to have them- proposed as members, and got Mrs. h’s cousin to attend to the matter. ”’ Mrs. Curtis goes on to say, “‘we were »sed and elected, and Joe come down into the store where we were and told us; we hurried throuzh with dressing, and went up to the room and sat down allin a row. We hadn’t sat long before two men came out to us, from the inside room, all mufiied up in gowns. and having a kind of tin hat: on their heads, which covered their faces. They asked us for $5 each. Joe handed over the money for us and himself, as »e bad given him nearly our amounts, and promised him the rest soon. Then there ceme two more men like the other two, who formed into line (they call it single file) and told us walk right along. They bad swords, and ene of them walked before Joe, who was in nt. while the other walked behind me. It rk. or nearly so. when we passed in. I nd of the darkness, because, having on a of my husband's clothes I was not sure they fitted very well.”” She next describes some of the scenes inside ns she saw them, and says: I was not fright- ened; for [ am not one of your timid people, being reared to ride colts, shoot pistols, skate m.

The next place I found myself was in the ante-chamber, or rather just being led into the ante-chamber by two men, and I was first con- scious that I must have been sitting in a bath- tub with my clothes on. I think that the cool sir brought me tomy senses. The two men looked very se: and sorry. I looked about for Mrs. Smith Joe, but they had gone as soon as they heard the noise in initiating me. I asked one of the men if Mr. Curtis was in the lodge. The man said he was. I said T would like to see him a minute. The man went into the lodge-room, and presently out came my beautiful husband, all mufiied up. I Jast whispered a word or two in bis ear, and ay be he didn't pull off his gown and hood in ort order and walk home with me. He left me that night in anger and mortifi- cation, and Ihave not seen him since. But then he had no need to be angry, because he has always known that I have been in favor of *-Woman’s Rights,”’ and have always held that women areas capable as men. But when it comes to the “Sons of Malta’ I think «Wo- men’s Rights a failure; they cannot do it. Id suppose any of the members recollect iy initiation, but they will recollect the man who fainted, unless there have been others who have fainted as well as mysclf—which last I think quite probable. Mrs. Curtis stops here. Her husband, we muy add. is yet missing, and not likely soon to turn up, but she blames herzelf for the whole thing. —. see Taree Mex Reryep sy ong Lotrery Prize. A man has ten chances of being struck by lightning to one of drawing a prize ina lottery, and all experience shows that the drawing of a prize, when such a rare event does occur, is the worst event that can befalla man. A striking illustration of this fact has just oceurred in New rteans. A young man who had lost all bis money at a gambling table staked a lottery ticket as his last throw, and lost it. The win ner of the ticket, having no confidence in lot- teres, proposed to throw dice for it at twenty- fvecents a chance. A by-stander who never bad « hundred dollars in his life won the ticket, and in a few days found himself the lucky pos- 2essor of $25,000. He at once invested a round sum in jewelry and fashy garments, and is leading a life of ‘ncessant revelry, which will soon dispose of his accidental fortune, and leave him poorer than be was before, by the ession of perverted tastes and destructive habits. The man who first held the ticket, on hearing that it had drawn a prize, became possessed of an excite- ment which brought on brain fever, and ended in idiotic madness. The second holder of the ticket, who did not believe in lotteries, has be- come ® monomaniac on the subject, does noth- ing but tell the story of his fo! ly in disposing of the lacky ticket, and is unfitted for all bust ness. His mania is hardly less hopeless than the fixed insanity of the first holder. Thus one tize in a lottery has ruined three men and enefited nobody. The facts carry their own lesson with them, and he that runs may read.

Now, lately, Pitts said to himself, ‘I’m gettin’ rather ‘long in years, and I'll get married.’’ His business qualities wouldn’t let him wait, so off he travels and calls on a lady friend, opening the conver- sation by eet deory he like to know what she thought about his getting married. «Ob, Mr. Pitts, that is an affair in which I am not 80 very greatly interested, and I prefer to leave it with yourself.” ++ But,’ says Pitts, -‘ you are interested, and dear girl, will you marry me?

BY LAURA ELMER. _, Cooks and cookery must be coming into favor if we may judge by the book, handsomely enough gotten up t> lie upon a parlor table, re- cently published by Appleton & Co., entitled “Break! Dinner, and Tea.’ Although this book is full of excellent advice, receipts, etc., it bag lacks one thing which I think is needful. here is a way of doing up the apple, that fa- vorite of everybody, that I do not find in Ap- pleton’s book. As apples are all round about just now, I feel disposed to furnish the receipt pro bono publico. As the aforesaid volume will probably be the text-book by which we shall eat, (') sooner or later, and this mode, method, or way not being therein contained, I may name it ‘‘Apples, El- mirine,’’ for I have often used it when it was was nameless. First and foremost, always and forever,they must be Spitzenbergs—there is nothing like them forthe preserving pan. Let them be of fair, round shape (I can forgive any other apple for occasional humps and knottineszes, but never a Spitzenburg;) pare, and with a corer take out the core. Place them right side up with care in your porcelain kettle, or nice tin pan, with water about half their height. Let them boil gently, turning them over witha three-inch skimmer, such as you use for the quarter-inch cream ona pan of real, not swill milk, that they may not be broken. When they are tender stew powdered sugar on each apple, a few spoons; when they have simmered a few min- utes turn them over and strew them again with sugar. In all you need but half the proportion that preserves would re uire, for these are to be made fresh every week or two, as you want them; and they are more harmless thun apples un. oked. (Had Eve known of this recipe there is no knowing what might have happened one day.) Let the apples be well Boise with the sugar, then take them out and let the syrup boil till it is a little jelled. Place the apples in a dish, for the table; pour the rich, lumpy (from the jelly) syrup over them; after standing an hour the tops will be drained, then they must be covered again with powdered sugar—it is like snow piled upon amber. If they are right, they are as bright and translucent as amber, and their own flavorisso peculiar and rich, that only for a change will you ever wish to use any lemon in their preparation. Now, with a suffu- sion of cream (or without it) of that same sort, from grass and clover, or fragrant hay, for lunch, dessert, or a country tea, these will. I aver. make smacking lips; not the best kind, but one kind, and may bring about the best kind as a reward Should any old bachelor be ao fortunate, or unfortunate, as to get a taste of the dish, he will at once perceive the unwiseness of his past life, and will live in a state of penitence of all the time of Spitzenbergs, at least.—Lisr Mlustrated. ——_——_-we0e- A Story As Is a Story. “It is just twenty years ago yesterday,’ said our narrator, ‘“‘that a party of us fellers went over to Cakokia Creek, on a skating match. The day was colder than ten icebergs all stuck together, but the ice was as smooth as glass, and we made up our minds to have a heap of fun. Bill Berry was the leader of the crowd. He was a tall six-footer, full of pluck, and the beat skater in all creation. Give Bill Berry a pod pair of skates, and smooth sailing, and fea make the trip to Baffin’s Bay and back in twenty-four hours, only stopping long enough at Halifax to take a drink. Well, we got to the Creek and fastened our skates on, and, after taking pl ae horn from Joe Turner’s flask, started off in good style, Bill Berry in the lead. As I was tellin’ ye. it was a dogonned cold day. and so we had to skate fast to keep the blood up. There was little breathe holes in the ice, and every now and then we would come near goin’ into “em. My skates got loose. and I stopped to fasten them. Just as I had finished buckling the straps [ heard a noise. I looked up and saw something shooting along on the ice like lightning. It was Bill Berry’s head. He had been goin’ it like greased elec- tricity, and before he knew it he was into one of them cussed holes. The force was so great as to cut his head off against the sharp corners ofthe ice. ‘It is all day with Bill Berry,’ said I. ‘And all right, too,” said Joe Turner. Just as he got these words out of his mouth, I looked at Bill's head, which had been goin’ it on the ice, and all té onct it dropped into another hole. We run toit, and I heard Bill eae say, ‘Quick, boys, uick—puli me out!’ I looked into the hole, and there. as true as I’m a sinner, was Bill Berry’s body, which had shooted along under the ice, and met the head ata holein the ice. It was so thunderin’ cold that the head had frozen fast to the body, and we pulled Billy out as good as new. He felt a little numb at first, but, after skating awhile, he was as the rest of us, and laughed over the joke. We went home about dark, all satisfied with the day’s sport. About nine o’clock in the evening somebody knocked. at my door, and said I was wanted over to Bill Berry's. [ ay ,on my coat and went over. There lay ills body in one place and his head in another. His wife said that after he came home from skating he sat down by the fire to warm him- self, and while attempting to blow his nose, he threw his head into the fireplace. “The coroner was called that night, and the verdict of the jury was that ‘Bill Try came to his death by skating too fast.”""—S¢" Louis Herald. +e ______ Wao Was Sne?—“H. F.,”’ (Hiram Fuller,) the New York correspondent of the New Or- leans Picayune, writes, Jan. 29th: * * * This reminds me of what may be termed a sensation funeral, which has recently taken place in the upper part of the city. La Traviata was a married woman, without chil- dren, beautiful beyond conception. When the eye saw her it blessed her for the beauty of her person, and the perfection of her toilet. In the street, in the ball-room, at the opera, she ever remined one of tho neat, artistic sketch of Scott: *-Ne’er did the Grecian chisel trace An ye auaiad, or a grace, teas cating lovelies face.” J wee! is r, frail flower sudden: wilted and died. On the announcement of ae fact inthe newspapers, there was an extraordi- nary demand for white camelias, orange blossoms, and all other, flowers fit for the bridal bed of di La be of white satin, in a rich casket lined with the same material, the faultless form, which no sculptor’ t could rival, lay in its last Tepose, wreathed and garlanded, and bestrewed with flowers. The funeral was larely attended, by men only; and, strange to say, mostly by men utterly unknown to the bereaved husband, al- though among the multitude of the afflicted who followed La Traviata to the tomb, each felt himself entitled to fill the place of “chief mourner”’ at her funeral. Such is life, and death, too, in this great cosmopolitan city, which is growing ewe more and morelike the “cities of the Old World,” and, perhaps, in some respects, like the cities d: ed for their sins by the grand catalysm of Noah.
