Vanderbilt advancing United Suites lmnds to ease the money market, is that a bank offered to borrow from him $10, 000,000 in United States four per cent, bonds, which he holds, advancing thereon the lull market price, about $1:2,000,000, and charging him for tho money advancod a low rate of interest. It is understood this offer of tho bank is part of a scheme to have Unitod States internal revenue receipts deposited in tho bank, which wonld give the bonds borrowed from Vanderbilt to tho government as security for internal revenuo receipts on govern ment money thus left with it. Two pur poses would bo served by tho ojwratiou. The first would bo that the money, in stead of being locked up in the treasury, would bo diverted from its way from the treasury of the national bank, whero it could be leut iu the market, and the other, which would concern tho bauk alone, wou'd be the profits which it could inako by lending government deposiu. The Evening Pvst says: Our under standing is Vanderbilt declined to lend his bonds which are all registered in bis name and that tho schema has boon abau- Cld BUI Urldl'j. "You may say what you please about old Dill Gndley," said a gentleman jnst down from xsouie to the crowd who were springing for hot acatches in Phil Mo Govern'a back room tbe other night.

"Putty bad tempered, wasn't he? said Phil, who was sprinkling red pepper oa tne tan nerring u encourage traue. "Well, he was and be wasn't. I've seen that man keep his grip on himself and co along cool and easy like when any other man in the csmp would have stood on his hind leas and rared. I call to mind sutbin' that happened once away back in the flush days that showed what a big heart old Grid ley had in bit shirt, lou see. we were at a mining camp culled Lone Skull, np on tbe Feather river, and Bill's claim had panned so rich that he began to put on a good deal of style. He hod the largest thsntv in the place four rooms and what must (I rid ley do but send clear ronnd tbe Horn for a carpet for tbe parlor. It took him nearly a year to get it ott. and then it was tho only carpet in that part ef the State. White ground, with yellow and red flowers. Folks used to come for miles to see it." f "ie this yarn ono act?"' growled a friend of the miner who was wistfully watching the barkeeper tale tho lid off some hot chowder in the other room. "It's in one scene," continued the party from Uodie. "Lemme see; where was I? Well, to make a long story short I was playfui? pedro in Bill's best room one night, with some prospectors just uu from I risco and was loosing consul erable dust when I droppel on one of em taking a jack om of bis sleeve. As luck would have it. I wasn't heeled tbut mailt, so I inst picked up a tobacco knife that lav on the table and cnt the fellow's throat clean scrota."! "Gjod scheme, too," grunted a faro steer in approval. "Well, us I was saving, old Gridley, who was in the next room, heard tho scuffio and came in. There was that cut chap lying on tho flaor with his blood all over the carpet the wholo thing just ruined. Everybody was s.-ared to see Bill s face. He looked just awful. I ex pected to get a bullet through my head nuicker'n a wink." "This is pntty tough on me," says Gridley, looking upon too carpet. "I know, Uill, says 1, "and I axes yer purding, old man. I never oi.ee thought of the carpet. I wouldn't er done it. if I had." "No, I don't believo you would.Tom," savs he, kinder sorrowful like. "I don't believiyoa wonld," And ho actually helped me to heave the corpse out the winder and kinder wipo up the muss a little. I tell you, gentlemen, olJ Bill Gridley was a white man, he was, and if ever I go back on him after that, I'm u coyote! And they all agreed that a man- must have a big heart to act like that, ufter all. San Francisco Post. Aa Aral) Custom. At the closo of ono of tho great re ligious festivals of the Moslem war a number of Arabs are seen to detach themselves from the crowd and to lie lown sido by side in the dust, face downward, liko logs upon a "corduroy" road, while their friends, crowding around them, press down nn arm here and there, in order to make this living pavement as compact as possible. hen all is ready the crowd falls back, while a horseman coming up from behind pusses at a quick walk over the prostrate bodies. This is called the Dosch, or "trampling." Each man receives the full pressure of tho iron-shod hoof in tho small of his back, and not a few may bo seen to writhe under it like trodden worms. Tho moment this horrible pageant is over the friends and relatives of the trampled men rush up to them and do their utmost to make it appear that they have received no injury from tbo pressure. lbe odious farce, how ever, is always unsuccessful, the groans and writhings of the sufferers being suf ficient ovideneo to tho contrary. The whole spectaclo is revolting iu the ex tremo, and deserves attention as a strik ing proof of the lengths to which super stition and fanaticism can go, even in au age of highly developed civilization.

These records are of great historical value and were pre served with extreme cure by DeLong to the eud that, wbeu published, they will lirovtt to be of greatest interest and will the governor have been refused the rec ords and places to which they have been named.

This sho failed to do, and the infant was carried on to Forestville, and there placed in chargo of the station master. In tho meantime the frantic mother had telegraphed to Bristol to have tho child returned, but in order to save the agouy of delay a kind-hearted messenger volunteered to go io Forest ville on a freight train and bring luck the baby. Ou tho trip the ougine broke down, and ho tramped tho rest of the way to Forestville. found the object of his search nud carried it back in his arms to Plainville. Tiie mother, mean while, inpatient of delay, had bourded the engine of a gravel train, and was in Forestville by the time her offspring got buck to Plainville; so to Forestville agaiu went the impatient messenger with the baby, to Ibid out that tho mother had returned to Plainville. At that point patience ceased to ho a virtue, and the womau was sternly ordered by tele phone to sit Mill for half uu hour if sho wanted over to behold her child again.

FOX lllXTlXQ IN SEW ENULAXD. Did yoatrertiaul foxes In New England? If not there ii t chord in your system that hat not jet been itirred, nor will it ever vibrate nntil yon hv killed a "Yankee fox" that yon have previously cliaaed into race-borne coudi, tioo. Tbe mere tliooting of a wary old red fox is of iUelf no glory when It is only a simple quwlion of mtrkiuiuuhip, bnt when every, thing In connection with its capture is taken into account, the hunter prondly fceli bit iuc- omi ii born of no mean skill. When I speak of iUooting t fox, I imagine I tee a frown on the fice of Pioui Jeemt, and other diaciplet of tbe cbue who lire iu a country whore follow inK houndi without burses would be u great a farce m keeping house without a cook ttove; but uuntinK fuxo in tho "land of cotton" is one thing, and hunting foxei in the "Und of woodun uutmeKt another. The facile txiu of Pious Jecmt hu not ore r drawn the pltuure of a fox clime In the genial outlt, for I lute myctlf followed many a "gnr" on a thoroughbred, and on a mule, too, and I know that oue't hopes of a iuocenful chase, la the fullest meaning of the word, are more likely to be realized than they aro to be blasted; but to follow a pack of bounds after a red fox in roKSMl New England, it simply out of the question. It is true that portions of thatcouutrr are not too still tor good bono and good riders, but there the hunter, would no; be likely to Hod any foxes to follow. Where foxes abound, fields are niall, and sur rounded bv treacherous stone walls; swamp are miry, and iu all directions barriers appear that wonld atop the bin I or steeple chasers. K y iu capture a fux at all you must shoot him, and because this is true, shooting New England foxes is legitimatized by all ew hngUod hunters. An fox after he is bii; enough to care for himself, shows an amount ot cuuuing that is remarkable, but there are a great many de gree of cunning iu foxo. As a class, the hew England red outranks any I have ever met, and a three or four year old male, ac quainted with bounds, is io October or No vember, the very essence of cunning intensi fied. I captured one of this class a uuuiber of years af;o, and so bard bad I worked to get a shot at him, that the glory I felt In seeing him laid low is not to be sketched on paper. I had followed him for three years at every season of tbe year, under all conditions of weather, with fast hounds, slow hounds, and with relays of bounds, but only onee, nndor the variety ol circumstances that I had given him chase, did 1 get bun within ranco of inr shot gun. Oth ers beaidei the writer had followed him many a day to no purpose, and so notoriously cun ning was he that all the fox-hunters of the neighborhood shunned him, as it was long odds against a day's sport when the doga struck tbe trail of the "Old Dog Fox of Hack stone," a name by which be was known for miles around the country where he made his haunts. I never started him on a day so hot that he could not send the best hound in the pack to the shade far in his rear, and I bad an account against bim for one valuable, bound that pnuseil from bit trail one August dav to the happy hunting grounds, which account was squared according to Mosaio law when he dropped to shot in front of Tom, the old time partner of the faithful anil departed Jerry, Tho "Uld Dog rox of iiaekstone was not only intensely cunning, uut from a longac, quaintauco with him, the writer and a few friends dmcovertd bo was full of character mado up of his other fox qualities, which was as inhume as his cunning. In the spriug.while watching over his yimng and eiring for their nmthor, he showed an auionn t of boldness and energy that was remarkable, and as a coiiko- inenen hisianuly was alwavs superior in ap pvarance to those l his neighbors. While the annlv duties of Jlrs. lo deuiauded her full teulion, nn lorusiup was ever near to note tho movements of anv prowlers about the neighborhood of his family quarters, or to lead If any curs or houiuls that came too near for the safety of madam aud her little ones. He was ever readv to thrust himself between dan ger and his houi-choUl, and all efforts to get a base with his partner at this season were a failure. If bv chance some early hounds struck he trail of the mother fox aud started her, she would run but a shun distance, when bur part ner would put in an appearance between her and the hounds to lead them oil' while sho re turned to duties at home. It wai amusing to see tlio tactics he would emplov to keep the munds after him instead of bis mate. If by nee the dogs kept ou tho trail of the madam tho Old Dog would follow on, overtake them. ml by a series of pranks, made in full sight of the hounds, attract their attention and divert t toward himself. Ait ho went off at a good exercise gait, lie would glanco hack to see that all the hounds were following bim. and if the pack had linen split so that part of them were still following my lady, ho would return and ma iauiver until he got thorn all on bis trail. nee satished that tho whole pack was at his Is, h would lc id tliein a merrv chare of bout ten milts, straight awav, whero he would cut ut) some of his "shines," lose his pursuers, and return to his domestic duties. After his family had reached an ago when his ssiirtanco to their welfaru wat not cilled for, he passed hit timo in comparative easo, always u prime condition ana ready lor a Irolio with the bounds. It seemed as if ho would put himself out of the way at any time for a run. an opportunity to exercise the instincts he had ultivated to sucli mature form. If lie was mar tod with t fast pack ho went away like a race horse, and out ef tho neighborhood so nr that the hounds would 1)3 several dayj fet ing over the chase and nt to return home; but he was always promptly iu his quarter tho next morning, and if his previous day's chase had been severe, aud hounds disponoi tomsko nn run on that day would be shaken off, after short run, by liw wonderful cunning. It a ow hound followed him, ho was ever accom modating enough t j grant him a chase, wait ing for him, and in nianv instances helping iiu out of snmo snare he had led him into. ut "every doe" has his dav, and foxes as oil, an 1 one day tho "Old Dog Fox of Hack- stone was compelled to surrender that life Inch had come to be looked upon as almost harmed. Tho night "before tho old fellow started on his last run, the writur, a visiting friend and neighbor, bad planned a day s xport for tho morrow, which was to open with a idiort, sharp uaso wun me lull pvn neiore oreaKlast, then quail snout unul dinner, and some Bimrt ith the rabbits bv in ilu.'ht. We hail antici pated starting the "Old Dog Fox of Hack- tone within a half hour of our loavinc onio, and as we would onlv hear the mnsie of the hounds for less thsu au hour, we reckoned ut npjn gjttiug a shot at the nchlo old uirser, bnt ou just excitement euouk'h for breakfast, which, by arrangemeut, was to bo on board in au hour after the hounds opened. lortunate circnuntauce occurnd before bed time, by which it became necessary ts forego our forenoon work over the seiters. and at the last moment wo concluded to take up more of the morning on a fox bunt, and make des)M'rate effort to capture the wily old nias- r of the lUekstoue. While the shades of iuht were yet lingering in the western horizon. nd the rey light of day was just peeping over the eastern hills, we were in council 1 tore the k mud; diseusdng the wisdom of sev eral proposition': Dilly favored taking Tom aud Jack, while Horace thought tbe full pack would atlonl the most sport. a nnallv voted our chalice for the coven d brnsh was best wilh teadv. lazy, reliable, level-headed old Jack, a ouud as renia: kxble for his cnuning and iud.'- ment as be wa for his laziness.

"If old Jack is not too lazy to stir around aud find a trail, we thai) have a rare morning's sport," said JJtlly. "And by the way." ho added, "our best plan will be to keep the road, and strike bis trail where hs crossed." This ws did do, but strange to say we failed to find where he had crossed. I suggested that in all probability we bad passed along before the old fellow bad returned from the morning excursion to the neighboring hen roosts, and as it was a que tion of doubt whether this wat t or not, we concluded thai instead of taking the chaiicea of wasting time by testing it, we would strike toward the river road, where we would be like ly to run across the trail of tome young fox in the habit of crossing that way. We bail fol lowed tbe road in vain, aud feeling very niucb out of burner with old Jack for covering so lit tle ground, were ou the poiut of giving up the nunt in disgust. "It serves us right," said Horace, "for do- pending on that lazy old rascal ; he never was of any use in starting a fox." It is a retribution for leaving poor little Tommy at home, when he wanted to go to badly," said Biily. lou are both right," I replied, "and 1 11 promise never to go fox hunting again with out Tom. I!ut there is no use fretting over the matter; let's sit down, and whilo we are rest ing we can arrango for" Look at Jack! said Billy, and we were on our feet in an instant, intently watching the hound iudustriously working out a trail down the road. What do yon niako of it?" Inquired both. Wby he's got a fox trail" said I, "sure, and as toon as he gets out of the sandy road and over the wall iuto the woods, we shall bare some music. I think is a young one that has taken a trot down the road out of pnre curios ity: it is a good track, I know, from the inter est Jack shows iu it.'1 Instead of going into the woods on tho right. Jack jumped the wall wall on the left, and went away over the frost covered pasture in full cry. We could not un derstand the trail giiug off that way, and nat nrally were at a loss what to think of it. "I guess it's a young one gono to the brook for a drink," said Billy, "and while Jack is getting around ou the trail to where the young fcllo lies in the woods, let us each get ou a stand so as to be ready for him when he comes out." "But Jack is already across the brook," said Horace, "'and going direct toward Hack stone." "Tbat settles it," said I, "it't tho 'Old Dog Fox,' so we may as well follow on, and, as we go, arrange which of hit runways each of us will Uke. The giing was so good, that Jack moved right along on the trail at his best gait, with out once making a balk, and before we could get to our stands Jack had tbo fox on his feet. Old Jack and tba fox bad become pretty thoroughly acquainted with each other, and we knew that as soon as the fox discovered that Jack was alone, he would just play around home with him until ho was tired of the sport, when ho would take a trip eff and lose him Billy bad gone on to guard one corner of the pasture and woods, whilo I was to put Horace, Mho was not familiar with the ruuwavs, at a stand. Now Horace was something of a "ten dcr-foot," and as the boots he wore "fitted nun a littlo too mncn, lie was hardly as swift of foot as the ntcjssities of tho caso de manded, and bef uro we got to what was to be bis stand, we beard Jack driving ou through tlio woods in that direction. "It's no use to try to get thero now," said I, "for ho will reach the point ahead of us; hurrv along, and wo may get to the other corner of the woods whero be will come out into the pasture for a run iu the opcu and ou the stone walls." Hardly had I finished, when wc caught sight of a lithe, red figure, as it popped up upon the wall, aud looked back in the direction of the hound. After standing like a statue for a mo ment, down he came iuto the open, aud gave us a full view of his graceful figure. The sight ot the fox had put new life into Horace, ami offeamo his coat, hat and boots, and he was ready to get to the next stund in short or der. As au started tho fox had again turned into the wood, and unlesa we made haste wo would not reach our stand in time. Wo had got half way, when wo knew from the sound of old Jack's voice that hu had made another tnrn, and as he Deemed to be working along toward tho point we wished to reach, wo com eluded to stop. We wero a, .out five hundred yards from the stand, and by carefully work ing our way along a wall wo could get into a field two hundred yards from the runway; then we could Wait and take the chance of his com ing to us. Wo had just crossed the wall iuto the field, when we saw the f 'X come out of tlio corn r if the woods, jump tip on the wall, then off agaiu, tlieu back on the wall. "Now you go to the wall behind us, and crawl down to the barway and wait for him, whilo I go to yonder tree, and I guess ono or the other of us will get a shot at bim, when ho pets ready to leave this field.

There iinn enticing; romance associated with the wild nomadic idea of eamt iutr out which induces many pet-pie to adopt that mode of travel in spending the an naier vacation. In reality, however, it i an ocenpution fit onlv for b&rbarians. It is a weak uttempt to return to barbar ism, which rarely confers a real rest or pleasure, and more often induces rheu matism and exposes the camper to ma larial fevers. In short, it is a smsre and a delusion. Sacramento R?cord-Union. A Bird That Eaiikf.d.
