Bnuldry, eleven days from Fox Islands, arrived in port on Wednesday evening, I - bring the crew of the whaling bark Mer cury, wiucn war abandoned in tbe loe : OctoTier 2ith, in latitude 71 degrees, 10 muratea norut, longitude 172 west, just north of Herald shoals. These two barks 'had been hunting in company in the Arc - tic. The whaling fleet has been ex tremely fortunate urns far this season. the only loss tip to date having been that of the Newton Booth. On October 9th these vessels, together with the Mount Wallaston and the Vigilant, were an . chored off Herald Island, a small islet bnt little larger than Goat Island. The day following the Vigilant and Mount yvouaston parted company with them ' the? spoil the lhomas rope, which v ; then steering for the straits. , On the following day-tiiey eno6ttntered a school of whales, and both vessels attempted to capture some of them; without success. however. Cold weather had been com ing on gradually since the 15th, and new ice had : begun to form. The vessels -were then, on the 19th, in longitude 7a detrrees west, about eighty miles from Herald island, and, as far as the sight could stretch to the westward the ocean . was one glittering mass of ice. Occa sionally the ships would find small stretches of clear water, and then again they would encounter large blocks of old ice. Their trials from the time the ice began to form are graphically told by J. Jarter, the chief mate of the Helen Alar, Ha says: On the 18th of October we found a lot of new ice just to the west ward of Herald shoals, and went through it, and finding clear water, thought we were all right, but were disappointed, for ihat same evening we ran into heavy ice auu iiau k wear snip, we neaaea 10 toe northeast, shortened sail and anxiously waited till daylight. The next morning we steered first to the cast and then to the west, but found ice all, around us, and had to give it up. We were, then in company with the Mercury. After consultation, the two captains concluded to go back and try to fret round to the eastward, as it seemed as if the ice made toward the northwest. A strong breeze carried us into clear water, after passing s-ltuuku some new ice. we men thought that we , had got past all the ice, " but v met ' it again, after passing through occasional clear water. On the morning of the 21st we found that jt was all around where we wanted to go, so we put the ships into it, with heavy hearts, and worked to the south. The ice was very close, but at night it became so thick we were stopped. The thermometer waa . then down to 8. The next day both' ships were imbedded in "the ice. with all sail set, but motionless, in eighteen fathoms of water, and a current drifting us to the northeast about two miles an hour. The ships were then made fast to each other with cutting falls and the anchors dropped. The ships were held and the ioe passed us until the afternoon, when the current ceased to run. There were no signs of clear weather; it was freez ing hard: the ice was thickening: all looked gloomy, and we all thought we should have to winter there, and we knew what that meant. It was simply this: we must all die, as we had neither provisions nor fuel enough to last us. nor were our ships in a fit condition to face the trials of an Arotic winter. . In the evening a strong wind rose out of the northwest; bringing with it snow quails, and our hearts were happy, for wetnougnt a gale was coming on. All hands worked with a will, and we were not long in getting up the anchors and again setting full sail. But, alas, we were again doomed to disappointment. The Mercury mofred about two ships' lengths and then was stopped. We moved not an inch. The night closed in and the .feeling of despair nearly ap proached os. Few slept that night. The kl came cans and cold, with ice so thick that we crossed from the one vessel to the other. fe then decided that we were doomed to winter in this desolate spot, and in order to make the provisions last, we resolved to live in one ship and use the other for fuel. The Helen Mar, being tlie strongest and best ship, was selected as the one to live in, and all hands went to work to bring in the pro visions from the Mercury on sledges, carrying a ton at each load, and which w drag-sd over the ioe. The Alfircury had a lot of blubber, and we commenced to remove that, as it would be good to burn and eat. Hard di.l we work from morning until night fall, when it blew fresh from the north with mow, "but still no signs of the ice breaking up At night Captain Hick usch, of the Mercury, his wife and chil dren, came on board. On the next day, the 24th, it blow a strong gale from the north. It was freezing, and there were no sums of a biak i-i the ice. At four o'cloc!:, after trsnn-'i'loua efforts by the crew, the bread aal flour of the Mercury THE were all on board. It then commenced to blow so hard and ithe ship rolled so heavily, that we had to cut adnft from the Mercury. If the ships had come to gether they would have torn each other to pieces through the strain upon them. All being on board the Helen Mar, We set a cloae-reefed fore topsail, to try and force the ship through the ice as it broke up. The ship pounded very hard, but we worked slowly to: the southeast and tried the pumps every fifteen minutes, expecting that the ioe would stave the vessel in. but she stood it nobly. On the 25th we worked through the ice all night and ait day. every moment fearing that me frozen waters would cut our crave ship through, as there was a heavy strain upon her and a terrible gale blowing; but it was a case of life or death, and we thought we might as well go that way as stop there and perishj At four p. m. we got through into quite) clear water, but it was freezing hard and; bitterly cold, ana the ship was covered with ice and snow. The next day a heavy gale blew from tbe a. a. w., we steering to the o. su. At 2 r. m., we reached more new ice, packed closely with a! heavy swell run ning, so far as we could see. to the N. E. and S. VV., and as we oonld not get around it, we set all sail and -worked through it, and got into quite clear wa ter three) hours afterward, ior a day ana a half we worked through ice, and again we experienced another long and anxious night dark, a thick fog, the thermome ter down to zero, the skip one mass of ice, the rudder frozen,: the ship unman ageable, and a heavy gale blowing. The captain was in the foretop all night, and had no sleep for three days or nights; in fact, for a week few of usnad any sleep. We remained in the ice till the 28th, when it cleared, and we made East Cape and the islands. The strait was blocked with ice. ' We worked through and came out of it off Cape Prince of Wales. On the 28th, during a thick snowstorm, the bark ran aground on the shoals off the cape. . She lay on the bottom and pound ed hard for about an hour. It was pret ty bad, and we thought things had come to a climax. We were compelled to throw lots of stuff overboard to get her off, From the time we left Cape Prince of Wales till we had passed the Fox is lands, the weather was very, bad and dirty, from the Islands to San Francis co the weather was pleasant with light contrary winds. The probable fate of the Vigilant and Mount Wollaston, can only be conjectured. If they persisted in making their way ' north, as the cap tains intended, they were undoubtedly caught in the ice an event which leads to the conclusion that the will never be seen again. None of the vessels had seen the Jeannette, although it was reported that the Sea Breeze bad sighted her, The winter the whalers all Admit, is a very severe one, and the impression is that the Jeannette has sought some shel tered spot in which to winter. Buffalo Bill on tbe Ute. Born upon the Western prairies, and reared among wild scenes of tumult, his lather murdered in their early days, when Kansas, with the struggle of a young giant, was shaking off the yoke of African slavery, a trained Indian fighter, taking his first scalp at the age of 12,and having served his young State in earliest manhood as a trusted and honored mem ber of the Legislature, it is probable that William F. Cody is as well ac quainted with all that pertains to the West as any other living man. A question of growing importance and Of serious import just now to the people of the United States is the management of the Indians by the Government. The mversation turning upon that subject, the Commercial representative said: "What are your ideas on the Indian problem, Mr. Cody? In other, words, what would you do to' secure abetter and more economical management of the Indian tribes by the Government?". "I think I can sum up my policy in a sinrrla unlMiu T in !.;.. 1. n MMQ.V DVMW.UW. UI19 UOVDI UUUD a single promise to the Indians that is not fulfilled. A cents promise too much. Men of calm, prudent- determination must be sent among the Indians . as agents. . Those who are sent often know nothing of the Indian character, and either through fear, ignorance or dis honesty are led into making promises which the Government cannot, or will not fulfill. Every Indian outbreak that x nave ever known has resulted from broken promises and broken treaties by the Government." f ' : "What do you think of the peace policy or the -policy of encouraging agnciucurai pursuits by tne indians.alr, Cody?" . ... - . - "It has already resulted in good, and will result in still greater good if honestly and intelligently pursued. You cannot make an Indian work by standing over him with a shotgun. , He must be taught that it is to his interest to do so, and brought into it by degrees. . Too much cannot be accomplished all at once. But if a wise, firm policy is pursued, the In dians will gradually drift into agricnl tural pursuits." , ' Speaking of the recent outbreaks of the Utes, Mr. Cody said that he thought the Indians were - badly treated. He knew that for years miners, contrary to treaty, had been settling upon their lands, xne utes protested and the Gov ernment paid no attention to them. aniT they had finally taken the latter into weir own nanus mr. fjoay had been with the Fifth Cavalry for six years, and he was consequently well aca wanted with the Utes. He had taken the first scalp to avenge the Custer massacre On the same day he also killed Bed Knife. ' - --i- "What do you think of Grant as a third term candidate, Mr-Cody?" " Next to myself. I think Grant is tha luckiest man in America. Nothing would surprise me. "How did you get the name of 'Buffalo Bill,' Mr. Cody?" "In 18G7, when the Kansas Pacific road was being built, I was in the service of the Government. One of the managers of the road came to me and said the men were out of meat, and asked me what I would contract to furnish 25 buffalos a day for, I told him I was in the service of the Government and could not work for him at any price. The company, however, made an arrange ment with the Government so that I got off, and he hired me at $500 a month to shoot buffalos. I thought $500 a month was the biggest salary any man ever re ceived. I went to work,and in 18 months I killed 4280 buffalos. The 'Paddys' em ployed on the road, as a consequence, became very tired of buffalo meat. When they saw me coming they knew my appearance heralded a fresh supply of tough buffalo meat and they said, one to another, 'Bedad, here comes Buffalo uui again; sharpen up your grinders, we'll have more buffalo meat now."

Ame icaa Wood Engravers American wood engravers are the beat m the world, and. even the London Saturday EevUvi at length recognizes the fact. "Tha impartial critic." it says. "who asked where the best wood cuts are : produced, has, we fear, but one answer possible: Neither in .England Germany nor France, but in America, In fact, the engraver there is far ahead of the artist, and if they had such men as our own ohief book illustrators artists tq whom drawing on wood has been a special study to draw for their en gravers, our trans-Atlantic cousins might well boast that they had beaten the country of Bewick and Jackson. The only proof needed of the truth of our re luctant admission may be found in a mo ment. Take any recent number of such an American periodical as Scribner't juaaazine.BAd compare with the Corn hill Yet look at the delicacy of the American engraving, the number of dif ferent tints and shades, the microscopic graining of the ground, the absolute fidelity of the print to the original draw ing, the subordination of the engraver's mind to that of the artist whose work he perpetuates. In ordinary English wood cuts, the artist's work is translated, not perpetuated. It is obliterated, and we must put up with a translation, just as some ancient Greek authors are only known .by the Latin . versions of their works. A child can recognize the heavy hand of the engraver. His individuality, ma mannerism, nis mucn more strongly marked than that of the artist, and in the result we have a black and white imitation of a pen-and-ink drawing, absolutely devoid of gradation, and showing everywhere that the cutter has been wrestling with the artist, not help ing nun; nas been shouting him down, rather than allowing him to tell his own tale. It is, of course, no business of onrs to ask how the American engraver obtains his effects, whether he largely uses machinery; whether he cuts on a softer wood than box, or on no wood at all, but some composition. All this is beside the question; certain it is that, if we want to see modern 'xylography' worthy to compare with Bewick's, we must go to America for it " How a Rich Mas Got His Will Cheaply. A millionaire who lived and died in the vicinity of this city, as he felt his last days drawing nigh, sum moned a distinguished neighbor : and lawyer, who since has occupied one of the highest positions in the gift of repre sentatives of the people, to prepare a last will and testament. When the will was drawn the man said: "I propose to make you my executor, and 1 shall require no bond from you. ' Write that, also." The ex-Judge complied, after thanking his client, and promised to execute the will to the best of his ability. "What is your bill for drawing up my will?" asked the millionaire. . "Oh. under the circumstances, of course, I shall charge you nothing, was the answer. "But, said the other, "than is not the my way of doing business. Make out and receipt a bul for your services and i will pay you now." "Well, since you insist, I will make out a bill for a nominal sum- say $25." And this member, who seldom draws a breath without charging some one for the respiration, made out and re ceipted for $25 a bill which, under other circumstances, would have been 8500. The , good mad died and was buried. When the will was read it was found that the name of his son had been in' serted in the place of that of the distin guished lawyer. . The ruling passion ia strong in death. The man who knew how to accumulate wealth understood the value of a tightly drawn will and the difference between 25 and $500. He had merely copied the words in the order they were written by his legal friend and thus obtained an irrefragible will at small cost, and an executor of his own choosing.

Prison Ecmlntsceuces. . : The death of the late General Joseph Hooker recalls to the mind of the write! a memorable incident that occurred during our "late unpleasantness" of 3000 Confederates warmly cheering a Major -General of the United States Army. Those of our readers who shared with us the privations of a prison like in Rock Island, III., during the severe winter of 1863 will learn with sorrow of the death of General Hooker; a sorrow born of profound respect for a gallant soldier and true gentleman, and jthe mention of his name will doubtless re call fresh to their memories the visit of inspection he paid the prison in if we mistake not the date the winter of 18G3. -v-v-. -j--- In full uniform and mounted on a large, handsome gray stallion. General Hooker presented a grand appearance when he entered the prison gate. By his side rode Lieutenant-Colonel Carrier, second in command of the post, but who really commanded it, and a more cowardly, cruel and dirty villain never disgraced God's image of man. Behind the two rode a couple of officers we have forgotten : their names; but they were members of General Hooker a staff. Slowly the little cavalcade rode down, and then up the lines of the wretched, half -starved captives who were drawn up for inspection, but who instinctively shrank back from the bru tal and triumphant stare of Carrier, ex pecting every moment to receive a curse or a blow from him. The keen, quick eyes of General Hooker seemed to scan every man irom neaa - to iieei, as ne slowly passed them in review, and at the upper end of the lines, near where the writer stood, the party baited; and the old General, half wheeling his horse, lifted his hat with as , much knightly grace as if we had all been oourtiers.and a soft expression passed over his face as he said, "Young gentlemen, I am sorry very sorry, for you, and hope that our differences will be settled, so that you all can - return safely home again.'' simple as the expression was. it was so different from those we had been accus tomed to hearing from the commander of the prison that it touched the hearts of the "ragged rebs" like a current of electricity, and instantly three thousand throats gave a lusty cheer for "fighting Joe Hooker." ' We are pretty certain that there was not a man in the line who would not. if he had a chance, have hung Carrier at that time; and we were equally as cer tain there was not a rebel on the ground would not, at the same time, have risked his own life to save Gen. Hooker from harm. , It is with profound sorrow that we an nounce his death, for when friendless, penniless and fettered in irons, he cheered us by his gentle looks, and won our respect and admiration bv his kind words; , and we, as ex-Confederate soldiers, will contribute - our mite towards having bis name engraved upon the everlasting rock of lxroltout Alonn tain; and let the mountain itself be his monument, for no man during the war, whether he wore the blue or the gray more truly won his sobriquet than did the 1 gallant "Fighting Joe Hooker."

The recent disaster to the Arizona will not bo an unmixed evil if it serve to open up and settle some of the questions rela tive to the icebergs which infest the western basin of the North Atlantic. There is probably no track of any ocean largely frequented by ships that exposes At a- :l i . i mew tu pern i rum use bo mucn as ue peninsula shaped sea of cold water south of Newfoundland. As the Gulf Stream nears the Grand Banks it makes what Lieutenant Maury called the "Great Bend, into which, as a grand "iceberg naroor, ; tne giaeiai arm of the whole Arctic Ocean pours its chilling volumes. j. he Antarctic Ucean has at every mendi an a free outlet for its surplus ices, which, after they emerge from the South Polar circle, form an almost uninter rupted belt about the sixtieth parallel of south latitude. But the North Polar ocean, having no outlet at Bchring Strait (inrongn the narrows of which no ice berg can make its way against the inflow' ina warm current! . and the sea between Greenland and Norway, being mostly oc cupied by southerly currents, the only great gateway through which it can dis charge its frozen masses is Davis Strait. No body of water on the globe of like size yet discovered can compare with this for the volumes of ice which it transports to low latitudes. The single ice drift which bore the old exploring ship Reso lute, abandoned by Kellett and floated through llalhn s Bay to the southward, was computed by Herschel and others to cover 300, (XX) square miles, and Scoresby measured icebergs in the Greenland seas weighing as many tons. It is remarkable that the icebergs of the entire arctio basin which find their way to Newfoundland should all make for the "Great Bend" off the Great Banks, where the Gulf Stream turns sharply to the northeast. The prevailing winds are westerly, and would, were there no coun teracting force, drive the ice to the east. So would the Gulf Stream there tend to distribute them over the eastern Atlantic. But the force of the earth's diurnal rota tion and the underflow of the arctic cur rent, acting on the largest or submerged part of the berg, press it to the westward and carry it into the "Great Bend," through which the navigation of the I world continues to this day to select its transatlantic routes. It is claimed by some apologists for the Arizona's collision that the Newfound land icebergs are rarely met with except m spring. tsui Maury states that tbe cold current from Davis Strait "in late summer and autumn brings down a large number." Certain it is that, with prob ably the exception of the three winter months, a ship is at no time secure from the rude encounter with such an obstacle as met the Guion steamer. The ill-fated City of Boston, which some years ago left Halifax in the last week in February and was never heard from, it is thought by many perished in the ice. But what is of greater import, it appears from well authenticated data that in some years the ice-drift from the polar seas is so abnor mally great as to falsify the calculations of the oldest and most experienced sea men. Thus, in 1860, Sir Leopold Mc Clintock found .that unusually . great quantities oi lceoergs had accumulated on the Greenland coast "to an extent not previously known for about thirty-six years," a fact which Admiral Fitzroy ex plained by the abnormal heats which pre- tsubu iu me mu preceding years; and, of course, in the first warm season that sueceeded, these towering formations were launched upon the Arctic current that descends to Newfoundland. Simi larly, in 1869, from the Antarctic basin, there was an abnormal discharge of ice- ucriia iuiu me amp tracks ox tne Month. ern Ocean in quantities and of dimen sions greater than had ever before been recorded by the British Admiraltv. Tt is possible that the present month and the early spring of 1880 will prove as mem orable for icebergs in the Atlantic as the summer of 1869 was in the South Indian Ocean. :. ... In the long dark nights of an antarctic winter, when the moon is not near the full, the great anxiety of the skillful nav igator is, as Fitzroy says, to keep "a vig ilant lookout for ice. This is no less true in the foggy nights of our northern winter off the Grand Banks. . It is said that icebergs at the distance of several miles can be detected by their depressing effect on the sea temperature, sometimes amounting to ten degrees of tha ther mometer. Bnt, valuable as instrumental indications surely are, the chief depend ence must ever be upon the "vigilant lookout." If the steamship companies will risk the dangers of the Great Banks rather than lose a little time, their cap tains should, at least, be required to be on deck the little while their vessels are running the great ice gauntlet at night New Fork Herald.

The following bit of war history is related by the Toledo Journal: General James 15. e teed man, familiarly known as "Old Chicks, manga," was never in happier frame than at the Ford Post reunion the other evening, when, with other val uable anecdotes and incidents of the war, he related the following: Some weeks after the disastrous battle of Chickamauga, while yet Chattanooga was in a state ' of siege. General Steedman was surprised one day to receive a telegram from Abraham Lincoln : to come to Washington. Seeking out Thomas he laid the tele gram before him, and was instructed to set oat at once. Repairing to tbe White liouso he was warmly wel comed by Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Lincoln s first question was abrupt and to tbe point: "General Steedman, what is your opinion of General Bosecraos?" General Steedman, hesitating a moment, said: "Mr. President, ; I would rather not express my opinion of my superior officer." Mr. Lincoln said: "It is tbe man who does not want to express an opinion whose opinion I want. I am besoiged on all sides with advice. Every day I get letters from army officers asking to allow them to come to Washington to impart some val uable knowledge in their possession." "Weil, Mr. President," said Gen eral Steedman, "yon are the Com- mander-in Ulnet ot tbe army, and it yoa order me to speak 1 will do so." Mr. Lincoln! said, "Then 1 will order an opinion." General bteedman then said, "Since yoa command me, Mr. President, I will say General Kosecrans is a splendid man to command a victoti. ous army. ... "Hut what kind ot a man is he to command a defeated army?" asked Mr. Lincoln. General Steedman, in reply, said cautiously, "I think there are two or three men in that' army that would be better." ' Then, with his quaint humor, Mr. Lincoln propounded this question, "Who ; besides "yourself, General Steedman, is there in that army who would make s better commander?" General Steedman said promptly, "General George II. Thomas." . . "I am glad to hear you say so," said Mr. Lincoln, "that is my own opinion exactly. Bat Mr. Stanton is against bim, and it was only yester day that a powerful New York dele gation was here to protest against his appointment, because be is from a rebel State, and cannot bo trusted. Said General Steedman, "A man who will leave his State (Thomas was a Virginian V his friends, all bis associate, to follow the flag of his country, can be trusted in any posi tion to which he may be called." That night the order went forth from Washington relieving General Bosecrans of the command of the army of the Cumberland and ap pointing Thomas io his place. Hixdoo Women. The Hindoo women, when young, are delicate and beautiful. as far as we can reconcile beauty , with olive complexion, .says the London Timet. They are finely proportioned their features soft and regular, and their eyes black and languishing; but the bloom of beauty soon decays, and age makes rapid progress before they have seen 80 years. This may be accounted for from the heat of the climate and the customs of the country, as they are often mothers at 12 years of age. No women can be more attentive to cleanli ness than the Hindoos; they take every method- to render their persons delicate, soft and attractive; their dress is peculiarly becoming, consisting of a piece of silk or cotton, tied around the waist, and hanging in a graceful manner to the feet; it is afterward brought over the body in negligent folds; under this they cover the bosom with a short waist coat of satin, but wear no linen. Their long black hair is adorned with jewels and wreaths of flowers. ' Their ears are bored in many places, and loaded with pearls, a variety of gold chains, strings of pearls and precious stones fall from the neck over the bosom, and the arms are covered with bracelets from the wrist to the elbow. They have also gold and silver chains round their ankles and an abundance of rings on their fingers and toes; among those on the fingers is fre quently a small mirror. I think the richer the dress the less becoming it ap pears, ..and a Hindoo woman of dis tinction always seems to be overloaded with finery, while tbe village nymphs, with fewer ornaments, but in the same elegant drapery .are more captivating al though there are Very few women, even of the lowest families, who have not some jewels at their marriage. It is not a very pleasant thing to go through the world without sympathy, and to meet only those who have no interest in us, except to make ns con tributors to their welfare and their sel fish ends. In marriage, as it should be. there is no selfishness. Each member works for the other's good; each con tributes to the other's welfare. " In the outside world it is different; each seeks to use the other for selfish purposes, and this makes life a contest, a battle. If such a state were to prevail in the home and married relation, then marriage would so far be an evil, and not a good. ; Meetings exclusively for women are a peculiarity of the present Moody and Sankey revival at Cleveland, the two evangelists being the only men admitted. Many women converts, relieved of male eyes, give way to the most extravagant religious fervor. . - , , Never anticipate too much ; disappoint ment is not pleasant.

At tbe bead of the list will be Chantilly, where the Due d'Au male will give bunting parties up to the month of January. This Orleans Prince learned in England to appre ciate the, country when the leaves of the forest are gold and russet; when tbe frosted branches scintilate in the sun and when the greenery of the moss and ivy acquire value from the surrounding whiteness. Those among their friends engaged in parliamen tary affairs whom the Duke invites will be enabled to run down in less than forty minutes to the seat of the Condes, whose chateau appears in a new guise embellished witn a view to modern comfort, hygiene and cleanliness. But it is not in an Or leans Prince to do things on a large scale. Affability is a sociable virtue proceeding from a large heart and a courageous disposition. None of Louis Philippe's sons are endowed with either, and they will have bad nerves, which make a throng intol erable to them. It is torture to the Count de' Paris to feol that a crowd is staring at him. Nobody will be allowed to follow tbe Duke's hounds unless a CbaDtilly "button" is sent to bim. His Boy al Highness often enough attended tbe Worcestershire meets to know that in a gallop after a wild animal the moro there are to join in the chaso the merrier. The "button" is simply a badge, worn as a decoration, and the hunting season over it is to be returned. Some "buttons" are works of art. Referring again to winter sport, it may be noted that Count de I'Aigle will draw the forest of Compicgno through November and part of De cember, His brother-in-law, Prince Aren berg's, packs will at the same time be out in tbe woods of the Cher. Sir .Richard Wallace has hired the exclusive right to shoot in tbe forest of Compiegue, and M. do I Aiglo, who has the finest beagle harriers, stag, wolf and boar hounds in all France, has acquired the privilege of hunting in that imperial chase for seven years. At La Gaudiniere, in the Nendomois, the La Rochefoucauld hunting parties will be on a magnifi cent scale, and organized at once for the entertainment of the Faubourg St. Germain and with the design of netting a great lot of minnows. Ladies to whom the "button" has been sent are expected to wear dark, green cloth habits, with green velvet collar, basques and plastrons, gray hate and feathers, and yellow chamois gloves and gauntlets. They will be provided by the Duke with a gold chain,, which will form festoons on the breast, and attached to that ornamental appendage a horn shaped, gold whistle. Grooms and shippers in will be in the smartest liveries, and tbe dogs will bo of tbe black, deep-mouthed St. Hubert breed. All the tenants of La Gaudiniere estate will be admitted to tbe forest to be present at the meet, and in the even ing at tbe amusements at the chateau Thero will bo a curee froide, a con cert in the riding-house and fireworks in the park. Hot wine and cakes wul be served to the ptebs. in "tne fine Norman land," which is thickly dotted over with superb chateaux, Btanding on rich!' cultivated estates and amid beautifully kept parks ana gardens, the squirearchy will devote itself for the next month to winning popular favor. At Fontaine, Henry, the rival in architectural beauty of Chambord, the Marquis and the Mar quise de Corneiilers will keep open house every Sunday in . November, and All Souls' Day a great jovial fes tival will be held in the former duchy of William tho Conquerer. 1 here will bo trotting matches, plowing matches, and athletic games on the Fontaine Henry estate, which be longed to the Do Uanisy tamuy, and would still belong to it if tbe Mar quise had not preferred frinco .Napo leon to her husband and tbe latter treated her preference as a thing of no consequence. Peasant proprietors will only be allowed to compete at the races: but young fellows ot all ranks, gentle and simple, may enter themselves for the trials. muscular strength and staying power.

On the contrary, the rural population will, in the long run, exercise tbe predominant influence, and form too strong a current of opinion for. the wealthy class not to bo drawn along by it. As tbe Saxon . nursery-maids. stablemen and villains in about tho strongholds of the Norman barons imposed their German dialect on the governing families, so the peasant proprietors will impart a Republican tinge to tbe squirearchy, which from selfish class motives are stayiner on their country estates in November and .December, and condescending to invite men of low estates to their hippie matches and their festive gatherings.
