' Hare (JlrU Got Any Souls t . We do not know as there is anv law to compel girls to act differently about horseback riding, but sometimes it seems as though they took advantage of their yonng male escorts. It is a well known fact that a girl will not ride on horse-, back in public unless she has become an accomplished horsewoman. She goes on the back streets nntil she has learned to j Bit a horse beautifully, and has eat nerve enough to snatch the under jaw off a norse that tries to do what she don't want him to. And when she has cot un limited confidence in herself, then she will ride anywhere, and don't care who sees ner, and sue looks so independent and wide awake, and jollv. that Ton can not help admiring her, though you Are nail Diinu. un the contrary, the aver age young man thinks he is a horse man, whether he has been -on- a horse since be rode old "Doll" to plow corn when he was ten years old or not. And the girls, bless them, often accept the escort of these boys who think they can rVlo, seemingly just to see the Btarch taken'out of Uiein. Afew weeks ago a party was riding nj tho Whitewish bay road on horseback at a good round gal lop. There was a Rirl and a young man. The girl sat on her horse ' like a queen. and slie seemed to let her charger out just enough to keep a neck ahead of the yonng num. And he was pound to Keep np if it killed him. He sat on his horse like a clothespin, and the horse was a hard rider. The- poor yonng man looked as though he wished he was dead. Every time his, horses forefeet ct.me down on the ground it did seem as though . the young man's legs wore longer, and that he would have to let out his stirrup straps. He held the reins in his right hand, held on to the pommel of the saddle with his left hand, to keep from breaking in two, his trowsors worked np to his knees, leaving his drawer tied around his ankles with strings, and his low shoes almost dropped off. - The strings of one draw ers leg came untied and the bare leg began to show, and he looked implor ingly in the ear of the girl ahead of hint as much as to say, "For heaven's sake, hold up a little." But she was just enjoying herself, and did not seem to realize that she was wearing out a young man that would be an ornament to society anywhere except on a hard riding horse. On they went, until the young man perspired lake a water cooler. while she was cool as zino, and appar ently as unconscious of the torture she was inflicting on her escort as possible, though the twinkle in her eye said as plainly as could be, "This young man has been telling me for oyer a year that he was a splendid horseman, and I am going to make him take it back if I have to carry him home in a market basket P' His necktie comes untied, his watch jumps out of his pocket and hangs dang ling on the saddle, his eyes become "sot," and fearing that his elothes will , all be shook off, he gasps, "Elizabeth for God's sake hold on and let me ; take up a collection of myself!' She pulls up her charger with her little finger, and looks at her escort a though he was interfering with herenjoymont by stopping, and he smiles as though he was sea sick and says it is "such fun ridin a torse." while he tries snrrep- titionsly to get his trowsors to go down by his shoes. fecks Sun. Brushing Away Gossip. Key. Rowland Hill was a zealous though eccentric clergyman. He had a largo fund of humor, and frequently drew upon it, in order to point a moral or adorn a talo." On one occasion, while visiting a friend in the coniitry, the conversation degenerated into idle gossip, and the characters of several friends and acquaintances were severely reviewed. Mr. Hill was much annoyed, but he remained silent nntil there was a lull in the tattling. Then he rose and rang the belL The servant appeared. "Have yon a hearth-brush and dust pan handy? said Mr. Hill. "lea, sir," replied the servant, won- derincr. as did the family and guests. what the eccentric clergyman could be thinking of. "I wish yon would let me have them for a few moments. When they were brought to him lie leiran brushing the carpet. "A prodigious quantity of dust and dirt has been scattered this evening," he remarked, as ho brushed away," and I think it had better be removed.'" The hint thus picturesquely conveyed was token. During the remainder of the evening the conversation was more becoming to Christian ladies and gentle men. Powkk oy Aoreeableness. Agreeable people are born with the qualities which make them beloved by all. Some un happy men are so organized that it is only with difficulty they can even force the appearance of politeness. Without intending it their manner is repellant, and if they have a fair share of combat iveness. antagonistic to such an extent as to make their society unsought and disagreeable. They receive favors nn crracionslv. and grant them in such a manner as makes the recipient regret having asked them. But the naturally aOT-AAftbla person both accepts and con fers a favor in a manner delightful to witness. R. G. SCROGGS. A. M., M. D. I'Jiyelelari r!i wurijooxt.

Her driver, Bain, turned her back for a fresh start, the then trotted to the starling point square and level, and as her driver nodded for the word quickly lengthened out her stride and got to the quarter in 0:34. it was then believed impossible for her to do better than 2:16 or 2:18; but when she got down to the second quarter at a 2:03 gait, tin fastest record, there was a breathless in terest and expectancy, it was feared, however, that the strong head wind when she turned would slacken her speed nu terially and render it still impossible In win. hbe kept straight forward, however, without break ol skip and marked tke three quarter mile pole in l:3ti.

The Leadville Chronicle publishes an account of the most marvellous discovery yet made by mortal man, provided that ii is true, wmcb is more than doubtful. Two miners, while sinking a shaft near Bed Cliff, are represented to have found a deep subterranean chamber without apparent communication with the open ' What tneJ" cIaim to hTe 866,1 " thns described: The cave Seemed at first emntv. hot as I their eyes gradually became accustomed I to the deep gloom, the men saw in the further extremity a huge black object, which, not without some trepidation, they approached. As they neared it, to their unbounded amazement, they made out the lines of some sort of sailing' craft. It was. as nearly as thev could judge about sixty feet long by some thirty feet wide, and lay tilted at an angle of about fifteen degrees over a rongn pile of stone. Tbe body of the craft was built of short lengths of soma dark and very porous wood, resembling our black walnut if it could ' lioagiued with the grain pulled apart like a spongu or a piece of bread, and made perfectly square. Both ends (it was evidently in tended for sailing either way), were turned abruptly np like the toe of a peaked Moorish slipper. The planking was apparently double riveted on tha nails of extremely hard copper, only slightly rust eaten, and with the heads cut or filed in an octagonal shape, while along the upper edge of the ship eleven large rings of the same metal, and evidently for the securing of rigging, were counted. At the bottom edges of tbe craft, and running its entire length, were two keels some four and a half feet deep and six inches thick, bung on metalio hinges, and at the ends were fas tened rough copper rods, extending up ward and bent over so as to attach to two masts rising from the upper edges. If the cross of an inverted letter T be con ceived to represent the deck lines, the two stems are at about the angle and position of the masts. These were upward of 30 feet long; and, aa evidence that a sail was at one time stretched across, some ragged remnants of what appeared to be cording were found clinging to the inner edges. The ends of the masts were secured in pivots, and it was evident that in tacking one could be moved forward and the other back, thus bringing tho sail at an angle with the body of the ship an idea which it might not be bad for our mod ern navigators to emulate. This, it is believed, also explains the copper rods which moved the keels so as to recipro cate the position of the masts. While the whole ship was intact, the wood crum bled like dust beneath the finger touch. and fearfnl of trapfalls the two prospect ors aid not venture to explore the in terior. Lying on the ground near by. however, waa discovered a crold instru ment bearing a rude resemblance to the sextant of the present day, and possibly used to calculate tbe longitude, ao trace of any writing was found save at one end of the ship, whereabout midway on the bow of the ship, inclosed in a medal ring, were 26 copper characters riveted to the wood and bearing much re semblance to the Chinese hieroglyphics of the present day. No human remains of any sort were found, although it is possible that a search in the hold will re veal something of this sort. Without pushing their investigations further, the two miners, lost in wonder ment, retraced their steps to the tipper air, leaving the ghastly ship once more in tbe gloom and silence. By this time it bad crown auito dak above, and with that tacit understanding existing among men who bad seen that which borders upon the supernatural. thev sooke but little between themselves of the discovery, bnt sought rest by their kindling camp nre. in the morning the whole thing seemed so much like a dream that they were seriously inclined to regard it as some morbid phantasy, some disordered vision of tbe brain alone, having no substance in reality, and eagerly, yet with a strange dread, they descended the rope again. Assuring themselves, by a short survey of the facts they had learned the night before. the prospectors hurriedly ascended the shaft and spent the rest of the day in concealing, as well as possible, the traces of their excavation. This done, they west to the cabin of a well-to-do miner living some thirty miles down the gulch, and to him hrst told their eitraor dinary story. This gentleman is per fectly reliable, and, together with a well known mining expert residing in this city, has seen and examined the ship, and will take steps to preserve the won. derful discovery to the world in all its possibly great historical value. The minute particulars as to locality are at present withheld for a very obvions rea son they wonld attract a herde of van dal sight-seers who would soon destroy the mouldering dust beyond hope of restoration, and until the proper autliori ties can be sent for they will not be pub usned. . The discovery of tho junk-like ship witn its nnknown architecture, hermet ically sealed in a cavern fifty foet below the surface of the earth, gives scope to indefinite speculation. The only possi ble i explanation seems, however, that ages, or seons, perhaps, agone. a sel .bearing a crew of bold dis coverers, tossed by the waves, sougnt a harbor in a cave within a oliff. The waves then receding left it stranded there, and the trreat con- tinental divide, the awful upheavals and convulsions of nature, which we know so little of and can only blinkly speou late on, pressed the face of the earth to gether and sealed it in a living grave. 1 1 - The Dollar, A stranger who was yesterday having his boots blacked by one of tho post ofitoe brigado, asked the lad what he would do u mime one strouid hand him , dollar. "I'd give half of it to tbe heathen and spend the rest on the Fourth," was the , I renlv I " That's right you nre a good boy.' said the man. I like to give money to snch a lad a you." w tien nis boots were finished he handed the boy a nickel and walked off, never referring to the dollar, which the lad had been almost certain of. He had gone about half a block when the lad overtook him and asked: - "Did you intend to give me a dollar?" "Oh. no. no. no. I simnlv wanted to see what you would do with it." " Well, I've been thinking it all over " said the bootblack, "and 111 tell ye what I'd do. I'd take it and hire some one to pare my feet down so I could get on No. levens without springing my jinta oat of line." The stranger looked from his feet to ne DOy the boy and back, then across the street 1 to a policeman, and as he turned to go, ho muttered: Well, I've found out what he'd do with it, but I don't know aa I feel Any tne petter xor it?

Anecdotes of Louis Napoleon. The anecdotes of bis childhood are de lightful, as showing his ingenuous nature and the love he had for his father and mother. On one occasion he had been taxed with disrespectful behavior to the Empress, and, as a punishment, the Emperor degraded him in rank (he was enrolled in the regiment of the Guard as soon as he was shortcoated, and at this time was a corporal :lthna his ananlnrji warn tuid asidn fnr a lima This was a cause of great distress to the poor lad, and his pride was terribly wounded Somehow or other tbe story got into tbe newspapers. That day while walking out in the Bois.he met one of the officers of the regiment; with crimson cheeks and downcast eyes he first passed him, then, suddenly summoning courage, turned and addressed bun thus: "Mon sieur, perhaps you have heard what the newspapers say of me, that I have been degraded in tne service because I was disrespectful to my mother. However, I assure you it is not true. I love her top much to ba disrespectful to her. Please, monsieur, tell my comrades it is false I" And the child burst into sobB, nor could he be comforted - until the officer promised to justify him in the face of the regiment. His determination, which probably was hereditary, was displayed very early in life, and a funny incident may be quoted to show this: Victor Emanuel bad given him a lovely donkey, of which he became very fond; but the donkey being strong-willed, like bis master, frequent conflicts for supremacy were the result. One day the Prince conceived the brilliant idea that he wonld like his pet to inarch np-etairs, into the upper rooms of the Tnileries. Naturally, the quadruped objected; but his master in sisted, and the customary battle ensued; to no purpose, until le petit Prince carried the day by summoning the servants, some to place the donkey's fore feet on the stairs, others the hind-feet, and so they reached their destination. lie was exceedingly fond of drawing a pursuit which the Emperor did not favor, as being of too absorbing a nature for one who bad duties of so wide and general a character; but his tendency could not be suppressed, and vented itself in various odd ways; one of them being that to get him to submit to tonsorial offices (of which he seems to have had some dislike) he was allowed to sketch while under the coiffeur's hands, and exceedingly clever these scraps are said to have been. In modeling he was als5 remarkably skillful. The Prince Imperial was an early sufferer from severe and painful maladies, having had two very bad cases of abscess in the hip joint, and an attack of measles, from hicu he did not recover lor a long time. While yet young, he was made to take his position in all court ceremonials, and in fulfilling the duties of his rank ha was taught to derive satisfaction. At all reviews, at tbe opening of the Cham bers, be was invariably seen at his father's side, and acknowledged the greet ings be received with undisguised pleas- are. Every one conversant with the court life of the Second Empire will re member the share he took in the dram atic representations which were a favor ite amusement at the various residences of the Emperor, The careful blending of the physical with the intellectual training of young Ijonis was admirable; and wben, at nine years of age, he left petticoat sway, the choice oi a male governor was made in a very clever manner. " The Emperor was talking to General Frosaard one day. wben the boy came ta ask his father for something; but aa be had been disobe dient to his mother the day previous, tho Emperor refused him, and told him to leave the room. He resisted, and the Emperor's efforts to remove him were vain, which naturally very much dis pleased bis Majesty, who hardly knew what to do. The General, who had been a silent looker-on, rose, and bowing to the refractory young prince, aaid authori tively, "What I monaeigneur. His Maj esty orders yon to leave the room, and you refuse ? nnee, l nave to request you will obey at once and retire," and he opened the door for him to pass out. ont. The child surprised, looked bun full in the face, and seeing firmness and determination tbnre, demurred no longer. kissed his father and disappeared. The Emperor was go struck with the General's victory that ba at once confided to him bis son's education, and with the great est snocess. His first comnfnnion was a great event in his life. It seemed to make a remark able change in his character, and gave to it that religious cast which was a dis tinguishing feature daring the rest of his career. The Emperor wisely brought him to face difficulties at an early stage of his life. On one occasion when he had f to distribute prizes at the Lycee Charlemagne, a schoolboy emeute took took place, of which he was indirectly tho cause. The Emperor treated the matter lightly, shrngged his shoulders, and merely remarked, ''ljouis must learn to meet with opposition, and the sooner perhaps the better." The visit of the Empress and the Prince to Corsica in 1800, was a notable event, and afforded him the liveliest pleasure. The whole population of the different places they visited, turned ont to welcome them; and at Ajaccio the crowd pressed them so closely that the police bad to make a path for their feet. The young prince was perfectly delighted with the ovation. I and constantly stopped to acknowledge the greetings of the people, checking the efforts of the police to keep the crowd off by saying, "Let them them alone, let them alone. Don t try to prevent them. Remember they have a right to tome. We all belong to one family!" This speech naturally redoubled the enthusiasm of the populace. Rotten-Egging aa Acti ess. The rare epoetuols of an actress being rotten-egged was witnessed last night at Walnut-Street Theatre, where the C. L, Graves Combination occupy the boards with the "Four Seasons." Daring the third act, while George Parker, as Susan Bweetapple. a xankeo dairy-maid, was singing a song, an egg in an advanced state of decomposition whizzed over the pit from the west side of the top gallery and came to grief against a canvas pal metto tree, a few feet from Mass Parker. The audience were startled for tho mo ment, and the actress changed color, bnt did not falter in her song. Half a minute later another egg, similarly disabled, was thrown upon the stage from tbe east side of the top gallery. Tho actress waa in tensely mortified, and nmsaed her song with great difficulty, and in a high state of excitement. The andienoe showed much displeasure at tho deliberate insult to the lady, and applauded her to the echo so much so that she waa compelled to respond to an encore, in the mean time ashers from all pari of the house had rathered to the auarter from wheno the eggs had been flung, and a man waa aeen endeavoring to secrete an egg in his u . - J ooat pocket.

A Texas Herat Trade. There is a gentleman by the name of Smith living in Galveston who keeps a kind of livery stable. Among ' other horses in his custody was a fine bay horse belonging to Jonea. This horse, in cavorting about the stable yard, ran against a wagon and broke bis leg. Smith waa responsible. All he had to do was to send for a polioeman. have the animal shot, and pay Jonea about $00, the value of the animal. Smith notified tho policeman, and started ont to see Jones, and inform him officially about the accident.- Now Smith is considera ble of a wag. Happening to meet Brown, be asked if isrown did not want to buy a horse. It had been the dream of Brown's life to ait behind a horse of his own and call out "glangl" He wanted a cheap horse and one that was safe, so that when Smith put the question to him Brown replied: "May be so; if yon have the right kind of a horse. Is he a steady, quiet horse?" . "He is tha Quietest horse yon ever aw." "Woet bite or kiok. and is not likalv to run away?" "11 he bites, kicks, or runs away. Ill giveyon your money baok." "Humph." said Brown, "what are you asking for the wonderful animal?" '1 11 let you have him cheap. Ha is that fine horse Jonea used to own, I'll let you have him for $21. Give me SI down, and your note for $20 more, and it is a bargain, l bave no mare use for the horse, but I want money right off." Urown thought to himself, "This is tbe golden opportunity. Smith baa been tampering with cotton futures, and is strapped. I'm sorry for him, bat busi ness is business. I m not his guardian;" so be planked down the dollar and gave his note for the balance. If Brown was pleased with tha trade Smith waa still more so. He called to several friends, and treated the crowd with the dollar, after which the proces sion re-formed and marched down to the stable to see Brown's sew purchase. When they got there the police had al ready shot the poor brute, and he looked like all he really needed waa an inquest. Brown looked very much that way him self. He turned pale and then got red behind the ears. Thenheamiled.butitwaa not a particularly healthy smile. , Smith tried to help matters, and aa soon as the crowd had quit holding aides, ha said: "Mow, Urown, I don t want you to tell anybody that I swindled you. I call on these gentlemen to witness that I've dona the square thing. This is Jones' bay horse, the identical one I sold yon. I guaranteed he wonld not bits nor kick, and yon cannot provoke him to ran away. I think he fills the bill. I want yon to take him off or I'll charge yon for keeping him." "Boys," said Brown, "don't give me away. I know I am not the only fool on Galveston Island. Let's go and hunt for a duplicate and 1 will set em up. -They strolled out and met Robinson. "Look here, .Robinson, don't yon want a right good horse at a bargain? I ve just bought Jones fine bay horse He cost $60 originally, and he is in just the same condition he waa when I got him. . "Oh!" said Robinson , "things are hard and horse feed is awful high. A high stepping horse, like Jones' bay, will oat his bead off in no time. "That's where yon are fooling your self, lie eats less than any horse you over saw. By thunder, no horse can oat less than he can. "Ain't he a little frisky?" Brown shook his head and replied, "Yon are doing that horse injustice. Yon can tell by looking at him that he is not that kind of an animal. Ill let you have him for just what I gave for him $20 $1 down, and your note, se cured by snch men as Heidenheimer. for the balance. I've got to have tho money." Kobinaon thought it was mean to take advantage of Brown's distress, bnt then it was not his lookout. If he waa oat of his head, why didn't he have the court appoint him a guardian? So he planked down $1 and gave the note, on the condition that the horse would go in a wagon. "Ion bet," remarked Urown, "be II go in a wagon. He won t go tn anything else. Come on, boys, let's spend this dollar." After they had wiped off their mouths, the procession reformed and , started to inspect the animal. Sure enough, three niggsrs were lifting . him into a wagon. - "There." said Browa, 'I told you he would go in a wagon. Don't say I swin dled yon. He will eat less than any horse you ever owned. You will save his value in horse feed in two weeks. Just try, and see if ho is not gentle. Tickle him with a straw." The spectators applauded. Robinson looked bike he ought to go along with his horse to keep him in countenance. In conclusion, it is whispered on the strand among capitalists that some of the notes have already passed into tho hands of innocent holders, and as soon aa they mature, protests will be in order. The Bosslaa Steppes. Along the Volga Don Railway one sees in all its fullness what the Russians ex pressively call the "bad steppe I boundless waste ot desolate gray moor land, without warmth, without color, life. Under the cheerless dimness of a stormy evening there are few sights more gloomy and tumble than the silent, eter nal desolation of this immeasurable soli tude, amid which the clank and whistle of the passing train sounds strange and mcongrous, It is a positive relief to catch sight of the jagged black line that marks the position of the rocky neignts which overlook tho still hidden waters of the Don; but the famous river itself is a little mur. choorfnl than its ghostly ves tibule. Tbe Volga is lonsly as an old world deserted, the Don as a new world, still unpeopled. Toward nightfall tho aspect of the whole landscape becomes wild and dreary to the last degree. The red light fading slowly over the vast tree less plain, the creeping shadow gathering over the Bandy shores and long, low islets till all is wrapped in ghostly dimness the dead, grim silence broken only by tbe plash and welter of tho sullen waters, or the wild cry of some passing bird have an effect : impossible . to desoribe. The few nativea who are to be aeen harmonize well with such a landscape gaunt, wiry Cossacks, rushing along the shore like vultures, their gray coats streaming on the wind, their shaggy hair tossing like a mane beneath the high black sheep-ekin cap, tbeir small, deep-set eyes glancing restlessly to and fro as if in quest of prey true sons of the steppe swift, tireless, unamiable aa the wolves of their native deserts. Yet these so-called "monsters are really very jovial, hospitable fellows in their way to any one wno cares to visit them in their own haunts." Snch a visit, however, is not to be recommended to nervous or delicate travelers, the vot aack f ona of welcome being (as I can testify from repeated experience) to seize and toss their guest into the air five or six times, amid uproarious shouts, and with aa energy so which' the Bugby "tossinga" immortalized by my friend Mr. Thomas Hnghea, are as nothing.

"Do yon toko me for a waiter, sir?" she answered "Well," said bo, "as no one has taken yon thus far, snd you've waited so very long, I should think you were one. Daffy Keeps t&e Calf. Recently two of Mr. Duffy's e;gLbr determined to abduct a pet calf belonging to that gentleman, and Mr. Daffy became aware of their schemer therefore he quietly removed the calf frofit tbe box stall in which it was confined, and in the place of it introduced a eoat nf WiHi.m gender, and of a vicious disposition. Ho auo uxeu a spring on taa loor of tbe stall that would cause it to close unless held open, and he alaa attunl.,! ti,. door a Bpring lock that would fasten, and could only be unfastened from tho oot- siue. . ... . Then he went to bed, bat not to sleep. It was at that witching hoar of mid night that two marauders entered Mr. Duffy's barn. They had examined tha day before, and knew exactly where to go. :--,,.,-x.r.,. . Lach of them carried a dark lantern. They entered tho stall and tba &r elosed behind them. Evervthin? WALK . Still. One of them opened the al i.i a tnVn lantern, and tkwo tbe. was V.Iattr-f - hoots, and tha man with a lantern found ' himself piled np in a corner, very much surprised. ..V-'V'' He thought it waa the queerest calf he ever met. ., Tho other man opened the slide to his lantern to aeo what the matter was. The next instant tha breath went out- of him with a "yah" that made the listening Duffy laugh all over.; , ; Then all waa still again, except the faint profanity of the men. ' j; many the man who waa Jut first re covered enough to paw around and find nis lantern. --- -, It was extinguished, bat he cot out a match and lit it again. - Then he turned tho bull's eye toward ,. the goat, and then he went into the cor ner again. Th goat's blood being aroused, ha didn't wait for further lights but befyaa to butt around promiscuously, and the robbers concluded to got ont. cat that didn t prove so easily done. Then they began to yell for help, and M.r. Duffy couldn't tell where the goat hit them, because instead cf yelling "Help!" they cried "Oh. P. and. after he had laughed till his sides ached he went and let them out on condition thay wouldn't try to carry away the goat. Accidskt to a Ftsb-Eatka. There was a shocking accident to a fire-eater in the market place of Leigh ton Bnzzard, England, a fortnight ago. A traveling negro was performing on a stand, licking redhot iron, bending heated pokers with his naked foot, burning tow in his mouth and the like. At last he filled his mouth with benzoline, saying he would burn it aa he allowed it to escape.
