A Yankee performing s journey through the back countries on foot saw two horses in @ field as he passed along, one of which he determined to borrow for a few miles, as he was feel- ing very weary. ae oe writing in pencil on aslip of r that he would leave the beast att e next town on the road, he tied the note to one horse’s fetlocks, and mounting the other with merely a halter for bridle, rode off with him. This transaction happened to be observed, an alarm was given to the owner of the animals, who, saddling the remaining one, without paying any attention to the note attached toits leg, rode away after the unknown borrower, or, as he vonsidered him, perhaps, thief. Un- auckily for the Yankee, he was mount- ed on a slow traveler compared with the steed he had left behind, and he soon descried with some consternation a rider behind urging a powerful beast along the road at full speed, evidently in pursuit of him. pre neither whip nor spur he found it a difficult matter toimpel the horse he rode be- yond it ral pace, and his therefore, had every ch ; at no blows somew on nigra. 20, the cy fror census of 1880 mu of the youn population be is no record of foreieners, of cou proceed without simply assum ing to the old number, not regarc proportion who belong to the new. judge of the relation in mass of people of foreign ave stands to the po we are accustomed to r the leaven of our nationality — to which all other elements are to be assimilated if possible—by comparing it with the white population of native parentage. The whole popula- tion of the country, minus persons of foreign birth and pare native negroes, and Indians, is 601,676. This is not much more than half the population.—J. E. Chamberlin, in the Septamber Century. ——_—-— Old Put — Wolf Den. The famous wolf den at Pomfret, in- to which General Israel Putnam crawl- ed, and from which, after he had killed the old she wolf that had destroyed his sheep, he was drawn out by his neigh- bors by means of a rope attached to his body, himself pulling the dead animal after him, is gradually filling up with the accumulations of gravel and rocks that fall from the roof and sides. It was visited by s merry picnicing party of ladies and gentlemen from Old Mashentuck, East Killington, the other day. They spread a dinner in the lone- ly brush pasture near the cave, had dinner, made speeches about Old Put, the Revolution, the wolf hunt, and so on. One of the party, Rev. G. H. Childs, was appointed to explore the cavern. The opening, which is about two feet square, is near the top of a high ridge that is strewn with cyclo- pean boulders, about half mile from the country road. A few stunted for- est trees grow aslant from rocky foot- holds slong the hillside. The surround- ings are wild and rugged. ‘There isno dwelling house within many miles. Mr. Childs squeezed through the aper- ture, snd, with his lantern on his arm, crawled along the passage downward for seventeen : feet. There he reached the oy pen chamber of the cave, in which he could stand nearly upright.

I trust, remember the brief visitation and deem it the crown- ing point in their lives. About noon Sunday I went up to High Bridge, and at the Woodbine Hotel met a friend whose most striking characteristic lies in his ability to order a good dimner. Our table was spread on a cool section of the airy verandah. Just to our left a short distance a young couple had deposited themselves. hey were par- tially hidden from the rude gaze of pleasure seekers, and they looked a trifle spooney. For nearly five years this couple had been something of a social mystery to me. At Long “Branch, Coney Island, Fort Lee, in Central Park and many other breathing resorts I had frequent- ly met them. “The lady always modest and reserved, the gentleman at all times dignified, and yet a trifle anxious.

It is the exception rather than the rule to get a cup of good coffee at the hotels or restaurants in this country. In the provincial hotels and railway din- ing saloons as you go further in this respect you fare worse. There are a large variety of colorabile decoctions that masquerade under the title of cof- fee that are entirely devoid ofits aroma ortaste. A writer in the Argonaut says: There is no spotin the world where coffee is so badly made as in this coun- try. And this arises from several causes. The first of these is the pur- chasing of coffee ground and roasted at grocery stores, where the sale is so small that the roasted coffee is often three weeks or 2 month old, and has, through exposure to the weather and influence of climate, entirely lost its aroma, The second cause is that the berry is often burnt instead of being properly roasted, snd has, in conse- quence, a pungent, bitter flavor, in- stead of its natural flavor and aroma The third cause is that in many hotels, restaurants, and even private houses, sufficient coffee is not used. <a —_——_ A counterfeit dime is made of glass mixed with base metal.
