In English poetry we first meet witt the horse in Chaucer's verse. In "Tro ilu and Cresslda" be figures tinder tbi name of Rayard; and we hear the clat ter of hoofs and the jingle of hrldlt bells In the prologue to "The Canter bury Talea" Pasalng on to the Eli abethan writer, we come upon somi picturesque sketches in Spensor'i "Faerie Queen." As, for instance when tho Red Cross Knight prlcki across the plain: Ills anirry steed doth chide h fomnluK hit As mucti disdaining to the curb to ylel'l. And there are some spirited alius ons it more than one of the elder dramatists, from Beaumont and Fletcher to Fori) and Shirley, which I have no space U quote or particularize. Shakeapeare, however, Is the only one whoapproachoi the subject with exact and sympathetic knowledge. I will not go Into tho hack neyed passage of "Venus and Adon.s," whore the point of a porfect animal an insisted upon with the accuracy of as expert and the felicity of a great poet. But I shall ask leave to refresh ths reader's recollection of a certain scent in "Henry the Fifth, "where the Dauphin enthusiastically recites the fine quali ties of his "prince of palfreys." Non but a man who knew and lovod th( borse could have penned this fervent message: "I will not change my horse,' says the Dauphin, "with any that treadi but In four pastern. Ca hal He boundt from the earth as if his entrails wore hairs; le cheval volant, the 1'ogasus, oher les narines de foul When I be stride blm I soar, I am a hawk; he troU the air; the earth sings when he touchei It; the basost born of bis hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes. It is a beast for Perseus; be il pure air and fire. The man hath no wit that can not, from the rising of the lark to the lodging of the lamb, vary deserved praiao on my palfrey." Like the Neapo itan Prince in the "Merchantof Venice," "he doth nothing but talk of his borse." In "Troilus and Cresslda" occurs an allusion to one of Hector's steeds: "Now he fights on Galathe, his horse." Sir Andrew Aguechook, in "Twelfth Night," reveals to us that he owns s gray borse named Capulet And Lafou, in "All's Well That Ends Well." speaks of his bay, CurtaL The name of Fal staff's steed Is nowhore given, nor any description of him, though one could have wished for information respecting the much-enduring animal which bore that "mountain of flesh!" Was he a cart-borne? All the Year Round. GOING TO BE GREAT. How Jay (iould Wipes Away the l'rrjudlca nf Ills Fellow Citizens. When Juy Gould goes to a new town he generally wipes away the prejudice that has existed against him. The fol lowing are a few extracts, taken from weekly newspapers along the line of the "New Cut" railway : Zigvillo Demjcrat: "Jay Gould, the great railroad magnate, who was in our city lu-tt Monday, is much impressed with our commercial importance. He looked over the ground and la about de' elded that he will locate his new rail' road shops' here. This will be the mak ing of Zlgvllle." Hopkins Observer (fifteen miles furthor down the road): "Our flourish Ing city was honored last Tuesday with a visit from the great Jay Gould. We are aware what a strong prejudice exists in the minds of many of "ur people against tills - wondorf nl man, and. wa confess that hitherto we have shared the prejudice, but wo now have a chance, one and all of us, to join our interests with his. He looked our city over thoroughly and contemplates locating bis new railroad shops at this place. This will make Hopkins tho most 1m portant city on the road. Mitchell Recorder (ten miles still farther down): "Ourpeoplo wore greatly surprised last Wednesday to receive a visit from the world-ronowned Jay Gould. He was cordially received bv our worthy mayor and a large number ot our leading citizens. We are now pleased to toll our people a pleasant piece of news In eonnoctlon with Mr. O.'s visit Having of lato hoard so much of Mitchell no thanks to our merchants that do not advertise he has decided to locate the shops of his entire system of railways in our city. This will give Mitchell a boom that will be chronicled by all the great newspapers of the country. Whon we started the Recorder eight months ago we were strongly opposed by a certain moss-back element, but we paid no attention to opposition, having como here to stay. now our efforts aro being crowned with a success far greater than we could have hoped for. The eye of the entire coun try is turning Itself toward Mitchell and the Recorder has cause to congratulate ttselr.' Arkansaw Traveler. NOVELTIES IN JEWELRY.

I The supposed cause of byaterla IneJ hardly mention, there beiig none tlft would appeal to or be understood by Is lay reader. One fact, however, desert notice namoly, that we seldom find ailment among those who work oubf doors. In a great measure hysteria' a disease of polite society.

As I have aoady hinted, I deem this somewhat Orsh. Let the medical man do as ho fanes, however and most certainly thPhysl cian should be consulted and has not always with the patient, but her ends and rolatlves are. Let the n be guilty of want of fooling. They It do their utmost to cheor and rouf the patient without actually turig a deaf ear to all her coiflain ings. Besides, ln doing sohere would be the danger of overlook some real complaint It is probably Ike the old fablo of the shepherd and le wolf. Never mind, we must look ou'for the wolf just the same.

Hli Capability of Maaterlnf His Appetlti and I'aMlona, Bismarck's resignation has called up a host of reminiscences or the stalwart old Chancellor. A good share of them refer to his enormous capacity for eat ing, drinking and smoklig, but the nar rators of the anecdotes lave omitted to note the fact that Blstiarck, while a master of diplomacy ani a man who held all of his associates, from the Em peror down, with a rigid hand, should be accredited with another achievement He has shown his ability to master him self and all of his appetites and passions absolutely. For sixty-five years he ate, smoked and drank more in all probabil ity than any other single man in the world. Six quarts of Rhine wine In the course of an afternoon when Europoan complications were exciting, left the Chancellor with quite a sturdy thirst when dinner time arrived.

One of his physicians told him that a tremu lousness of the hand, of which he com plained, was the result of hi inordinate use of tobacco. He thereupon broke off a life-long habit with as much ease as tnough bis love for smoking was a mere caprice. At the end of six months ha found that his hand still shook. Than he took up smoklhg again and has kept at it ever since. Brooklyn Eagle. ORfcIGN 60SSIP. -Tl"pal nitthlea, alU,h bstnty horses In Pin, X. ,, in cut down to eight hors. ..
