There’s a good fire, and it’s all right.’ 1 “All right eh?” said tbe bachelor, feeling tbe blue tip of bis frosted nose, to.see whether it bad escaped being frozen off entirely. “Well,I am glad to bear that. Have the- trunks come?” “Oh, yes, sir! and the other things.” “What other things?” demanded Mr. Barkdale. But Mrs. Hinman pnr3cd her bps up. “Bather an eccentric old lady,” thought Mr, Barkdale, pushing: past her to lire third story front room, which he had solemnly engaged the' day before. It had been rather a dark and dingy little den by the light of the moon, bhtnow, softened by the weil-fille'd grate; it wore quite another and a brighter aspect. “Velvet paper on the walls, gilt paneling, red carpet, and a Sleepy- Hollow chair, ” thought Mr. Barkdale, glancing aronud. “Not so uncomfortable, after all.— When I get my things unpacked, it will seem quite homelike.” He sat his valise down in t'19 cor ner, deliberately opened it, took out a pair of slippers, and invested liis tired feet therein. Next, he laid of! his overcoat: “Now for a c'gu - ,” though., he. But the brown-layered weed was yet in his hand, when there was a bus tle, and a flutter, and a whisper,and whisper, and a merry noise on the landiug outside, nnq the door flew open as if by magic, to admit half a dozen blooming laughing girls. Mr. Barkdiite.-dropped his cigar, an .1 retreated a step or two, Don’t be alarmed,” said the tallest and prettiest, of the bevy; “it’s only a surprise. “A very agreeable one, I’m sure,” said our friend, recovering degree his presence- of mind. There's no mistake,!' hope,” said yellow-tressed blonde. “Your name is not GreeufieldT-. No mistake at ail, I assure you,” said Mr, IJarUale. “Of course it i- not Greenfield. Sit down, ladies.” And lie pushed forward the Sleepy- Hollow chair, a camp-stool, and two rheumatic reception .chains,' which were all theaccommodatipasypresen-ed by his apartment. But, instead of ac cepting this comtesy. the girls all fluttered out again, giggling, audio a second, before he could realize this strange condition of affairs,- they wt-iv -ack again, bouquets, a pyramid of maccaroons, piled up plates of sand wiches, frosted cake, and a mysteri ous something like unto an ice-cream freezer. The golden tressed girl clapped her bauds. You needn’t tliiuk we are doing-all this for you, sir,” she said. “Oh!” said Mr Barkdale, bashfully.

Ladies—” ‘ ‘Hnsh-sh .sh-sb, ’* cried the six pret ty girls, all in a hissing chorus: “Kate’s coming; Bessie has brought her.— Hush-sh-sh! Don’t say a word, Mr. Greenfield.” The golden-haired girl hand was clapped promptly over his month. Alice Moore grasped liis arm spasmodically, and r the other four danced a sort of bewitching little fern inine war dance about him, while, seventh girl entered—a pretty, Ma donna-faced creature, like a cfove. “Come and kiss him, Kate,” cried all the others. “Now don’t be ridicu lous, far we- shan’t take any notice. Here he is.” • “Kiss who:’ cried Kate, standing still and staring all around her. J Girls, whut on earth do you mean?’ “You provoking thing!” exclaimed Barbara, stamping her little foot.;— ‘Do-yon suppose we are all fools? Why,' of course, we know all about him! . Its Mr. Greenfield—your cous in, Kate—the young M. D, Kate looked arouad in bewilder- mffut, “Where?” “Why, here, “Nothing of the sort,” said Miss Kate, demurely, Our hero stood up, feeling himself growing uncomfortably warm and red. “Ladies,” he said, “there’s some m stake here. I said at the outset that my name w.ia not Greenfield.” “There!” cried the girls at once. “There!” echoed Kate, defiantly. “Didu’t we tell you?” cried the girls. “Didn’t I tell you?” retorted Kat, “Be kind enough to let us know what your name is, sir?” “Cephas Barkdale,” said the wretched; victim of a misunderstand ing. “But,” said Miss Moore, “you said yotu name was Nqtt Greenfield. “Of course I‘ flidt” Said' the. 1 puz zled bachelor,- “it isn’t Greenfield, and never will be unless I have il changed by an act of the Legisla ture.” .£ . “O-h-Ji!” exclaimed the girls “Dear, dear, to be sure! And we'thought you were Kate’s lover—and liis name is N-b-doubie-t-'Noit Greenfield. “Do hold your longues, you ridicu lous tilings!” said Kate, half vexed half laughing. - “What must Mr. Barkdale think of us all.” ‘ I think you are very nice,” said Mr. Barkdale, gallantly. Miss Bifrbara in the mean time had taken ft .slip iff piper out of her pock- . t, She uttered u hysterical shriek. “It’s all -my fault!” she exclaimed, lit was No. 39 instead of No. 3G— and the tail of the horrid figure’s turned the wrong eud up—that’s all And the cake, and the flowers, and everything.” “Stop, ladies, if yon please,” said Mr. Barkdale, courteously. “Because the surprise has come to the wrong place is no reason why the right per- s in should not enjoy it Allow me to give up this room, ’to your use this evening. I will just step across the street and send Mr. Nott Greenfield over.” “But you must return with him;” said the girls. And Mr. Barkdale was not allowed to depart until lie had promised. Mi. Nott Greenfield—a good-look ing medical student, who had the “sky parlor” directly opposite—came promptly on the mention of the’name of Kate Keliford, and did the polite thing in introducing Mr: Barkdale; and Barkdale ate of the sandwitches, and enjoyed the cake and cream,, and coaxed Miss Barbara to pin a little pink rosebud in the bntton-hole of his coat, and enjoyed himself prodigious ly- ‘I’d like to, be . surprised like thjs every night'in the year,” said he. “Oh, yon greedy creature I” said Miss Barbara. “But there was one time I seriously meditated throwing myself out of the window,” said he, “when you told me I was to kiss Kate.” “Dear, dear!” said Barbara, ironi cally; “that would have been dread ful, wouldn’t it?” “Bat tbe awkwardness of the thing.” “I dare say you never kissed a “pretty girl,” ponk-d the blonde. “I never did,” said the bachelor, growing boH; .“but I wifi now, if yon say so.” “But I don’t say so,” said Barbara, coloring and langhmg. “Behave yonr- New Process Flour.” t A new flour is making its appear- j way iu ; ance in Eastern markets, made away and man- ; in the interior of Minnesota by wb t are firm believers in the ‘inevitable,’ and oho very disastrous consequence r ... of this is-their reckless carelessness J ‘ on the Ocmnlgec: Oue of liis sayiugs , Years that any extensive plan tations with regard to’fire; they let off cracb- which has often been, re’ated, and ' To10 m at.e.

A, has open ed a number of mounds in Scotland which it appears, served es tombs Jor the early -inhabitant 0 . These tumuli are of exactly the same construction as the similar heaps found in Mexico Some served as monuments; and in one opened at Largo, Scotland, were discovered partides of bone, caleined and mingled with debris. Evidence king, Saco, after his great battle with the-Scots, in 1263, ordered the ships ged, untidy manner, for the tree sheds its bark in winter, and gray willow* like leaves were waving on flexible boughs. For about twenty-five feet the stems of the trees ill the inner part of the plantation rose up with ho brandies at all, but on the skirts of the wood the trees sent out branch es in the light and air nearly, to the ground. Beautiful is not the Word I should apply to its appearance; but, in ex change for bare sun-baked earih and deadly swamp, -these Eicalyptic forests are most grateful, and the smell delightfully resiuous, warm and gnrniuy. The multitude of birds in. the branches, and their busy twitter* lugs, added much to the pleasant im pression,. I measured these trees as I walked along, and found them from forty tu forty-five inches in eifenm- fereuce—-those on the borders of the wood always, of course, a few inches larger. Mapy village communities in the plain have planted scores of guin trees iu this neighborhood, and feel the benefit,-..but at present there is certainly an exaggerated manner of speaking of the EucalyjJtus.

Finally, our opinion is that the.

Fish in the Caspian Sea. The Caspian appears to be even richer in fish than the banks of the Newfoundland. In a ' single district 15,000 sturgeons are frequently taken out in a day, and when they are not Interrupted for twenty four hours, the water becomes almost choked by the fish, which are so abundant as to press each other out'on the shore. The total.yield of the Caspian Sea for one year in fish and fish products lias been estimated at thirteen thousand pounds (About 4g9,430,000 pounds avoirdupois), worth about.$12,000,000 There are several varieties of sturgeon among the fish taken, as well as the carp, the salmon, the Co legem us (similar to the white fish of the Amer- can lakes), several kinds of herring, -ate. A peculiar phenomenon observ ed, especially among the sturgeons, is that of a kind of winter sleep. At the approach of cold weather . they seek the deep portion of the rivers and re main there in a state of torpor, during which they secrete a viscid matter which forms a coating over the entire body ealled by the.fishermen a pelisse. During this period they appear to eat nothing, their stomachs always being found entirely empty. (foreigners call them joss-sticks) lying about. TJfider these circumstances, and .considering that nearly all their linildiig are, to a g.cat extent, con structed of a yei-y inflamable materials it is not very suprising that, in a cli mate where everything is as. dry as tender'during a great portion of the yeaf, their" superstitious op?.tliy is of ten the cause of fearful conflagrations. We have otifselYcs witnessed mote than one, which we shall never forget, at Pekin; Hankow, and else where, and when inquiry came to be made into the matter, the fire was mast invariably traced to ono of tbe above causes, or to a man having ■knocked out his pipe on some mat ting^ When a fire does break out the behavior is equally extraordinary and apathetic, and of this ,ve remember a somewhat amnsing, bnt at the same time an extremely exasperating in- s auce. On the night of the I7fch of December, 1861, a father seri .us firi occurred in a portion :of the British Legation at Pekin, an establishment which covers some acres of giouad, a id at that time was;: for the u.03t part of pmely Chinese construction. On the nlainY spreading, the night patrol of the native police arrived in charge of au officer, and it will per ■ Imps hardjly be credited that their course of action w is to wave their 1i- rny flags, biat' gongs, and even pro duce fans, for what purpose we never could make out, as the thermometer then marked nhout ten degrees below kero (Fahrenheit)! On this occasion the Chinese also bronght to our assis tance whajtjhey are pleased to con sider fire engines, and we think tSat an Eugl.’sii fife brigade wonlil hav been rather; astonished at their per formance, for they would not h ive Y<eien of much use in watering a large garden',ijthd had it not betn for th * timelv aid of the Ooss icks and other fore’g jpmi residing in Pek n, the Lega tion wonld have mffered more severe ly than actually tlie case.
