Chicago Victorious Over Cleve- land Yesterday by the Score of 4 to 0. Worcester Wins Its Fifth Game from Troy —Boston and Buffalo the Other Victors. THE CftAMPIONSHIP. - The first full week of the League. cham- pionship season closes with the Worcesters and Buffalos in the lead, each having won five games, while Buffalo has lost one game, being the only club, together with Detroit, ‘that succeeded. in playing according to sehedule time. Ali the other clubs missed one day on account of rain. Worcester has ‘been playing a remarkably steady game, and has succeeded in scoring five consecutive victories over Troy, the latter being the only team that has failed to get a game. With the exception of two of the Boston-Provi- dence games, in which a great many fielding errors occurred, the play has been exception- ally. strong and even throughout, all the elubs having evidently improved in their fielding work. Up to this time there has Deen. no such increase in the batting as was anticipated under the new pitching rules, but “whether this is due to the fact that the batsmen have not yet learned how to improve tho ad- ‘vantage of the extra five feet. or whether the number of menstrikmg out under the abolition of the fair-ball call, or whether the pitchers have by extra effort made up for the added range—whatever the cause may be cannot now ‘with accuracy be determined; the closc of the first month's play will afford better data for cs- timates in this direction. ‘One thing seems to be established already, and that is that the clubs are all more evenly matched in point of battmgand fielding ability than ever before,—a state of things most grati- fying, asit willudd greatly to tho interest at- taching tothe games throushout the season. As predicted in these columns the Chicagos have found in the Cleveland team anturonists inevery way worthy of their prowess, and in winning three games out of five from the Forest City chaps the champions have done re- Jaurkably well. There remains _ one me to complete the _ first series Srelx, and this will be pluyed to-morrow in Cleveland. The Chicagos will then return home to meet the Troys here on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of this week. Detroit, the only newcomer in the League, al- though winning but one gamo in six from But- falo, bas neverthcless made a very handsome record of play, and especially so considering that the Club has met with reat misfortune in the matter of sickness and disability. The Club has developed playing strength of a hizh order, and under more favorabie fortune will wake an excellent showing before the season is over. ‘The standing of the different clubs at the plose of yesterday's play was us follows: Seizes | Hom KIDD Det et et Pbonnl ping CHICAGO VS. CLEVELAND. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, CLEVELAND, O., May 7.—In the game to- aay the champions defeated the local nine in apeculiar manner. The Chicagos secured duttwo hits and made four runs. while the Clevelands made seven hits and no runs, Loose playing on the part of the home nine dost the game. The Chicagos did splendid work in the field, The Clevelands presented Nolan and Kennedy as their battery, and Corcoran tossed the sphere for the Chicagos. Nolan was very effective, but was wild at times, and to this fact more than anything else is due the defeat. The crowd nu:nbered over 3,000 persons. The Chicagos went first to bat. Dalrymple got first on balls, and went to third on a passed bail. Gore struck out. Kelly then sent up a ‘difficult fly, which Dunlap muffed on the run, and Dalrymple scored. Kelly stole second, and Anson got his hase on balls. Kennedy tried to catch Kelly off his base, but made a wild throw, Kelly scoring and Anson reach- ting second. A wild pitch sent Anson to third. Williamson struck out, and Burns’ thitsent Anson home. Burns was neatly : thrown out in stealing second. Monahan cmade a hit in the third inning, being the first ‘to reach first base for the Clevelands, but a doubie play closed the inning. In the fourth ning Dunlap made a two-base hit, "but was. left at second. Not a ‘visitor reached base in the second and third inoings, but in the fourth Nolan gave Anson and Corcoran bases on balls. Careful playing saved runs. In the sixth inning, with onc out, “McGeary and Nolan made singles, and both ad- ‘vanced a base on Duniap’s out at first. Purcell closed inning by going ont on a fly to Burns. In the ninth inning Gore got a base on Dunlap's dumble, and went vo second on a passed bail. He made a finesteal on Kelly’shitto McGeary, on which Kelly retired end came home on Anson's Auer to short leftfield. Purcell muffed William- Son's fiy, but Staffer threw Anson out atsecond. Williamson died stealing second. For the Clevelands, Nolan and Dunlap made hits. and Purcell retired on a fly to Quest. Shaffer then knocked the ball near the foul line, which Dalrymple got under and mutfed, the bail tounding outof bis hands into foul ‘round. Nolan, thinking the ball fair, started for third, ‘and when he had reached third the umpire called foul, and Nolan was thrown out ut second, ‘This giving men out on the failure of the umpire to call foulat the proper time diagusted tho crowd, and they gave expression to their disgust with their voices. Shatfer closed the game by going out at first, assisted by Quest.

Bosron, Mass., May %.—The Bostons out- played the Provideuce team at ‘every point, and won a victory that was marked by brill- dant fielding on the part of the home Club, and just the reverse on the part of the de feated. The Bostons started off in the first inning by Barnes scoring on his single, a muffed-thrown batl by Farrell, and the outs of Crowley and Hornung.

Burrato, May 7.—The Buffalos to-day scored .goose-eggs until the seventh and eighth innings, when they hit Deroy hard, earning three of their six runs. The visitors had up to this time fielded without an error, but became rather demoralized in the eighth.

Bradley. of Detroit, is able to be about again, but cannot play ball for some time. Knight, the Detroit player, has injured his leg go severely as to seriously interfere with basc- running. Otiicin! notice has been served of the expul- sion, by Providence, of Baker, of the Washing- ton Nationals. Ina recent game between the Bostons and Metropolitans Poorman had his nose. broken, and bus been laid up ever since. “E, G.J.": According to the score received by this paper, there was no home-run mude in the Worcester-Troy gume of Saturday, April 30. The Clippers, of Oakland, defeated the Board of ‘Trade nine yesterday on the Thirty-tifth strect grounds by a score of 9 to8in seven innings. - Galvin, one of the Buffalo pitchers, js said to have been fined $0 recently for abusing O'Rourke, the manager. It {is probable that the latter deserved all the abuse he was subjected ‘The Princeton College nine, while in Washing- ton, called on President Gurtield, and that geu- tleman said be was happy to meet so muny metabers of a profession which bo greatly ad- mired. A letter from League headquarters states: “When the Nationals of Washington, of 1881, either pay or demonstrate that they are nota reorganization of xoy previous National club, then all disquulitications will be removed. The League neither wishes to rule harshly nor be im- posed upon.

A ROMANCE IN COURT. ‘The Custody of a Bride Stricken with Blindness Awarded to Her Hus- band. Paterson, N. J., May 4.—A romantic caso came up before Judge Dixon, inthe Supreme Court, Chambers, this morning. Some time ago John P. Clifford, of Yonkers, N. ¥., became en- gaged to Miss Ellen 3cKilvey, of this city. Miss McKilvey afterward began to lose her sight, and about six months ago she became totally blind. On Monday they were ‘married by the Rev. Father Heus, inthe Church of St. Boniface. Mrs. Clifford's parents xnuounced to the bride- groom that they did not intend to let thor daughter leave their House, as they loved her too Well to purt with her. Mr. Clifford bad fitted upahome for herin Yonkers, und had made everything comfortable for ber reception. He argued with the old people, but ther would not listen to him. ‘Then he applied to Counselor D. B. English, who got out a writ of habeas corpus against the bride's parents, requiring. them to reduce Mrs. Clifford in court, before Judge ixon, this moruinss. ‘The parents toid the Judge that their only claim to keep their daughter was founded on their great love for ber, which had only been in- creased by her misfortune. Judge Dixon’ said that u husben laim is regarded first in law, and as Mrs. Clifford sitid that, while she loved her futher and mother dearly, her duty and her fondest love called her to go with her busband, he uwarded the custody of ‘the young woman to the bridegroom. The old pcople thereupon kissed their daughter and son-in-law, and: all went away apparently contented, Oculists say that “Mrs. Clifford's sight’ will Probably be restored. a —— Jeltabo The censorship exercised on the foreign cor- respondents ju St. Petersburg during the recent Nihilist trial was not nearly so severe as usual.

CHICAGO. y Reminiscences of the Garden City Forty-seven Years Ago. John L. Wilson Jots Down a Few Incidents of 1834. Tho First Settlers—Winter Amusemeats—Dancing at Naperville. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Cricaao, April 7.—It was forty-seven years ago the present week that J first arrived in Chi- eugo, and, thinking that it might interest your readers, I will jot down n few things from mem- ory as thoy arise. At that time there was a gar- rison here to protect us from thé Indians. Cupt. Luther Nichols, who died this week, wasn soldier in it,coming here with Scott's army in 182. David McKee, recently deceased, was the black- smith for the garrison. Murk Beaubien, recent- ly deceased, kept the Sauganash Hotel. Eu B. Williams, who was buried Monday last, was the lnst of tho four Presidents of tho village before Chicago wasa city. I have a map made by the late John S. Wright of the clty fn 18H, and on it in that year I marked every lot that was then built upon, and sent it to my father in Albany, N.Y. On hisdeath I found it among his papers, and had it framed. It now hangs in the oflice of Gurdon S. Hubbard, 74 Washington street, and is quite a curiosity. There wero but nineteen lots built upon on the West Side, and nota build- ing south of Lake street on the South Side. A better ‘idea can be tormed by looking at tho map. Mr. Williams informed me that when be was President of the village the Trustees passed an act to plow a ditch on both sides of Clark strect from Twelfth to the river, in order to drain the wet prairie, the cost not to exceed $60; and when he, a8 President of the village, weat to Strachan & Scott, bankers, to borrow the money, they required him individually: to indorse tho note to. make it good {our city tax this year is $5,000,000). ‘The village fathors also thought it would be well to plow up the public square at the same time and sow it with clover, in order to show strangers where it was, and it was done. Mr. Williams lost in his trunk, at tho time of tho great tire, the papers pertaining to the goveru- ment of the village. The old suttlers are often asked what was tho first of everything in Chi- cag, people are so anxious to know how tho city bexun. It would be fur beyond the province of ‘a newspaper acticle to undertake to say how everything was first, but Iwill jot down from meniory a few things as thoy arise. I have copious notes of many thingz that occurred at an early aay. as well as of persons, but thoy are boxed up just now, and very many were lost in the fire. The first settler was a San Domingo negro named Jobn Baptiste Point Ausable, who built a log cabin on tho North Side opposit the fort. He sold it to a French trader of the name of Le Mal, who sold it to Jobn Kinzio, futher to Jonn H., Robert A., Elien, and Maria Kinzie. Ellen was the first white child bora in Chicago, in 1805, and ig tho wife of Gen. David Hunter, of the urmy. All of the others are dead. The first vessel brought into the harbor was the Westward Ho, from Oswego, N. Y., Capt. Leonard C. Huguuin, in 1833. She was towed over the bar oF five yoke of oxen. ‘he Captain is now an invalid av. the County Hospital. THE FIRST PUBLIC STRUCTURE was a “pound,” built upon tho public square, directly across the strect from the Board of ‘Trude Buntding (which is suggestive), The first recorded breach of the peace, or misdemeanor, was called a “ fraca and was committed by Mark Beaubien, and for which he was fined $10 by the Justice, but on its being represented to him that the cuss that Mark whaled was too mean to live, and should bave been killed, the fine -was subsequently remitted. Postage in those days was far diferent from the present. Over 300 miles, 25 cents; then 183; cents, 1244, and 64. It was rated by pieces, not by weivhbt, as now. The Postmaster had to “sqush” the letter und peek into it. to see how many pleces it con- tained, No envelopes were used, us they would have been subject to postage. Letters almost invariably. were sent C. U0. D., although those hicroglyphics were not in vogue in those days. There was little coin in the country then, aud it was hard to get enough to get a letter out of the office (this was later than 1834). Corn was 10 cents and oats tve cen bushel all through the country in “store pay Bohea, Pouchong, and Souchong were the “store tens" used, about as course as the heads of red-clover. The nutive teas were sassafras, sage, and some other varieties. There was no “luger" in those times, and but one “ Dutchman" (John- Well- maker), and but two fetlow-citizens descended from “Afric's sunny fountains” (Peter Me- Henry und Georxe. White), and none a3 now *fruin India’s golden strand.” Thore were no such horrible monstrosities as brass-bands and base-bull, and but one piano (Mrs. John H. Kin- zic's) to uiict un unotfending people between Detroit and the Pacitic Ocean in those days. The steamer William Penn came around the Inkes with supplies for the garrisons at Fort, Gratiot, Mackinuw, Fort Howard,and Fort Dear- born once a year. Our barreled’ pork, whisky, butter, flour, window-sush, plain doors, etc., came from Lake Eric. Much of our flour, hams, bacon, ete., from the Wabxsh in the summer and fall of the year, the “ Hoosiers" taking back salt, colfee, brown sbeeting, and tar to grease the wheels with. Once in a while one would come into the store for some “fiddle grease " (resin), with which to anoint the strings of his instrument. In those dars men were vir- tyous and women happy. (There were few women here.) There wus a discharged soldier here at an early day named James Welch, and, being the vnly ouc from the Emerald Isle,” the boys used to say he moyed away because he was afraid he might die and there would be no one here to“ wake" him. At any rate, be enlisted again at St. Louis under Geo. Harney. We thought. there was no building-stone in this county, and. the stone for our tirst Court-House was brought from Lockport, N. Y., via the Erie Canul and lakes. Ask any ‘old settler” if he remembers any case of rheumatism here for the first twenty years'after he came to Chicago ex- cept Perry, the barber, who brought it with him trom New York. Catarrh and veuralgia were also almost if not quite unknown in that time. Fever and ague, bilioug fever, tho prairie itch, ex ‘*Wabash scratches,” as the Hoosiers use d to eull it, were very prevalent; indeed, almost {n- dispensable, in the early settlementof the coun- try towurds acclimation. ‘There was little pouttryhere at an early day. Our reliance was on “ prairie chickens” (grouse), wild geese, and ducks. **The Calamink™ then swarmed with the lutter in the spring and fall. Medure B. Beaubien, son of John Buptiste, and nephew of Mark, and myself took our first hunt on the now “Calumet”. in October, 183, camping with Optascesbick’s band of Pottawat- tomies ut the mouth of the river 3 o'clock in the ufternoon, and shot enough before sundown to supply our red brethren with all they could eat for supper and breakfast, und, before noon next day, we bad all that our tong-box two-hurse buggy would hold, piled up, to bring home. Medore is 2 most estimable gentlemun, and is now the Chief of that portion of the tribe set- tied around Silver Lake, Shawnee County, Kas., and is Mayor of the village.. Two of u3 in a buggy, going from here to Austin (about cight iniles out), by taking one biind round out and un- other in, could generally pick up from thirty to sixty caickens; sometimes more, THE ANNUAL RECEPTION by the “Calumet Club” of the early settlers of aze previous to 161 Is close at hand (May 19). Permit ine to suggest to the public the pruceed- ings in pampblet form, as was done at tho first meeting two years ago, together with the naines of those in attendance; also, of those who have died since the last reception, ‘To show how rapidly tine ee and the age progresses, I will mention it the Club has a copy of the Chicago American tor the years 1839 and 1840, and in it in March, 1839, is this an- nouncement: “42 days Later from England—Marriage ot the Queen,” and then follows un xecount. of the seremontes, Again: here is a inan now living at Keokuk, la., who has lived in Michi- wan, Wiscousin, and lowa without moving out of his house. There was not au ounce of “fine-cut"” tobac- co here at an early day. It was ali plugin va- rious forms, from pig-tail up to larger sizes. ‘Two varieties of birds have been udded to our ornithology since the country was settled—the “Carter Exgle” and English sparrows,—both in- tolerable nufsunces. But you will ask, What did you do for amuse- ments in thogo carly days? There were no cir- cuses, theatres, divorces, murders, restaurants, ire-alarms, bucket-shops, or variety saloons. Why, we hunted. wolves und deer in the winter, trotted horses on the ice on the river, played slight gaines of “draw,” and danced. Naperville was the centre of the county for that ainusement, as it took nbout all of Fox froin the Stute line to Ottawa and the groves, to furnish girls enough to get up # ball, together with those from here, of which there were far less than 2 dozen of marringeable age. The ball not being large enough for all to dance atonce, we took turns, part of the gentlemen “calling” each other in the ronm below untit their turn came. *“Long" Jonn, fora public man, was one of the best dancersof his day, and of all the public men of : the State he has Probably not been excelted to the present day, although it is said that 2 former Governor of. tho State, and ulate candidate for the same office, did ‘some exquisitly. fine dancing nt New Orleans not long since, and which wis very much admired there. It was while they were unraveling some cipher dis- patches, bulldozing, bribery, and other matters incident to that. «ficted country. ‘there was something bout it IN. THE PAPERS AT THE TIME. In 1634 the first stump-speaking was had here between William S. Muy, of Peoria, and Beryn ‘Mills, of Galena, candidates for Congress. Lill- nuis at that time had only three members and one Senator. Col. Strade lived ut Galena, and Mr, Hamlin, our only Representative iu the Lower Heuse, at Peoria. Of tha twenty-four State Senators at that time. only Col. E. D. Tay- Jor and Mr, Thomas, of Jacksonville, are now st Methodist minister here, is still living at Plainfleld. Jere- miak Porter, our first Presbyterian minister in 1834, now post chaplain in Dakota, is now visit- ing in the city—both are quite aged. After the Freneb, the next of our adopted citizens were the English, with some Scotch, then the Irish, and then the Germans and Scandinavians. John Calhoun established the Democrat in 1833, and sold it to Horatio N. Hill, of New Hatnp- shire, who sold it: to John Wentworth, ‘Mrs. Calhoun is still Mving, as is Mr. Hill. Mrs. Dr. Egan is also with us yet, and many others. There are some forty who were here in 18H, thatattend the Calumet Club receptions, and some few more scattered abroad.

Alexander HI. as a Hunter. Translated from a Paris Journal for The Chicago Trib- une by Eimma Stanley. The Emperor Alexander II. was.agreat hunter. I will not retrace here the portrait of the sovereign which has been drawn by master bands and eloquent writers, but shall restrict myself to giving a simple sketeh of tho hunts- man. That which afforded Alexander If. especial delight In this sport was the excitement of fac- fu a peril bravely,—x peril. without surprises, probably, but which, nevertheless, nrouses that moment of anxiety which Is the fascination of the chase. In fact, the Czar only cared for exciting hunts; yet his arrangements were all system- atically arranged on the French Lmperial model, with the personnel of officers of the chase, numerous attendants, and courageous hounds. ‘This service was placed under the direction of a Grand Muster and of a second ollicer,—the former being charged ‘with the cbasse a courre, and the latter with the chasse a tir: The olliciut hunting-stuff were stationed at Gatschina, always prepared to obey the Imperial summons to remove to the onvirons of St.Peters- burg, to hunt the stag, the barc, the wolf, and the fox. With the exception of bear-hunts, which were a favorit amusement ot the Czar, the chase without hounds was recarded as very insignificant by his Majesty. The bear, fru- givorous in summer, becomes carnivorous in winter. At the latter period. he ceases bis wanderings, and seeks a ‘retreat for the bad season in the depths of a forest. Choosing an uprooted trunk of a tree, he hollows it out for his chamber, and the snow, fall- ing on this frame-work, forms the roof; after which he carpets his winter-dwelling with moss, and therein instulls bis family. .To our regret, space does not here permit us to speak more minutely of the benr,—un animal of remarkable intelligence, whose’ patriarchal manners afford a curious study. ‘This regularity of life, this provident care, is the cause of its destruction. ‘Those charged to discover its re- treat track the foot-prints of the animal in no- ticing the places where tho trunks of trees are stripped of moss: the beast is never very far away. The age and size of the bear ure discov- ered by the bight trom which the moss bas been stripped from the. trunk, ns, to collect ft, the animal stands erects on its hind fect to reach as hich as possible; and it is only necessary to measure the bared places to kuow its exuct size and to judge of its strength. When the retreat of a bear was discovered, informativa was given to the head-oflicer of the chase, who mado duily reports to the Czur. When Alexander II. was younger and in the vigor of munbood, he went a great distance from the Capital and hunted in the immense virzin forests of the interior,—his favorit. so journs being sometimes at the chateau of Prince Kadzivill, in Lithuania, und at others with Count Puslowski una Count Tyskiewicz His Majesty also frequently visited Nijui-Nor orod, Where he was the guest of Prince 'Tovher- Kuseki, Gen, Tschertkol, or of the Counts Alexis and Vladimir Babrinsky, who were su ively Ministers of Xoxds and Communications of the Empire, For about tifteen yours the Czar only hunted in the environs of St. Petersburg, within 2 compass Varying from ten to torty leazues. The rendezvous was veaerally in an Imperial resi- deuce, or in one of those pavilions, fost in the depths of un immense forest, thut were main- tained by the Royal hunt, In winter Alexander IL hunted once or twice a ‘wolf, which rushed at tn week, and none but the head officer of the chase knew of the intended rendezvous, or the hour of departure. In the midst of a bail ora féte, at the end of a theatrical soirée, the Emperor would often order the departure and extend his invitations. His principal companions in the chase, besides the officers of bis house. were his cousin, the lute Grand-Duke of Mecklenburg- Strelitz, the Dukes of Otdenburg and Altenburg, and the Military Ambassadors of the Great Powere,—Gens. Fleury, Chanzy, the Prince de Reuss, Gen. Werder, ete, An hour afterwards, ‘all chose invited were comfortably installed in a Jarge parlor-car, baving double windows und a stove. The journey to the designated _stution wag made ina jovial manner, as the Emperor always abandoned his official decorum on such occasions, and, being a churming compunion and gay conversadionist, the hilarity became general. ‘The station was generally reached in the mid- die of the night, and sleigis were awaiting the Emperor, his suite, and those invited,—sleighs arranged to bold but a single person. Each one seated in his vehicle, ull started in a train, form- ing a elantic furrow, which left its dark traces on the immaculate snow, under the heavens all gleaming in sturlizht. Nothingmore funtastical cin be inazined than this race over plains and through forests, in which sometimes there would be an upset.—without much dumaye, however. ‘On arriving at their destination, good cheer always awaited the guests, whether in an Im- perial pulace, in a pavilion of the chase, or, us frequently happened, in the - lowly home of a forester. On seating them- selves at table the guests were served with good wines of France—Bordeaux and Cham- pagne. The Cznr reserved the Burgundy,,which he generously otfered to his. neighbors on his réghtand I After a plentiful repast, the Emperor played twoor three «ames of whist and retired to hisebumber,—hls guests gener- ally following bis example. ‘At o'clock next morning, after the report of the head officer, of the chase, the company started en route for the designated ‘place. The depnrture was boisterous and merry. ‘Ou coming from bis den, the bear always fol- lows the path by which he entered, and it is bere that the Imperial “layon” Is established,—the Czur stunding on 2 beur-skin which has been spread to keep him from contact with the snow. The chief officer is plnced ut his right, and ‘behind are two guards furnished with a long pike sand # carbine. Tho company are placed in line, and each one pro- tected by u guard of the chuse, while 209 or 300 pensints, arined with sticks, surround the in- closure. Ona signal being given by the director of the chase, the den of the bear is surrounded by the guards, who discburge Blank cartridges and set up hideous eries, which soon bring the animal out of Its shelter, when, provoked to fury by the clumors, be commences his assault, which is ns dungerous as. if not tore so than, that of the lion. The Czar was a good marks- man,and the sayuge unimal, being tn direct range of his Majesty's gun, was generally killed immediately; but otherwise the Czar’s attack was supported hy. the bead ollicer, which, how- ever, did not always exempt the Emperor from danger. and Alexander has attimes been obliged to defend himself in w hand-to-hand tight, as it were, with the wounded animal. Independent of the real dunger of these con- tests, there ure many accidents to fear, ag on all oceasions «f the chase. In 1871 Count Fersen, then chief officer of the Crown, while support- i re of tho Czar, accidentally killed the second officer of the chase, Skariatine. This event created great excitement at tho Court, and the Eniperor, to his grent regret, was obliged to disgrace the bizh dignitary. Stnce that period the Count Fersen bas been wandering through Europe, mourning his country, aud maintaining a devotion to the sovereign who imposed on hitn 2 disgrace so cruel and s0 little merited. We met him recently on the Boulevards, sad, aged, walk- ing as if weighed down nnder the burden of bis sorrows and tho thoughts of bis exile. Q¥After the deatb of the bear a breakfast is served, of which J borrow a descripuon trom my friend Pertuiset, who was present in 163 at an Imperial bear-bunt: A curious spectacle presented itself to our view. On the snow an immense table was ar- ranged, covered with the most deticious viand3s and the most exquisit wines. A dazzling serv- ice of silver and sparkling crystal was arranged by servants in grand livery. It seemed as though a tuiry’s wand bad transported the table from the {mperin! palace to the foreat. This winter- Jandscupe would bave charmed x painter. Great trees extended their leafless branches, covered with boar frost, towards the heavens; a carpet of snow of incomparable whiteness, on whict wlqumed the sombre culors. of the costumes, mcd a picture which I shail never forget. ‘Tho managers of the fete had, however, neziected to provide seats; we were obliged to stand while euting, but, being hungry, I unticipated doing justice to the repast. ‘The principal officer thoughtfthe mument favorable to present me to the Emperor, wuo received me with a *cotelette’ in band. * Monsieur,’ suiu the sovereign, in the most courteous and friendly manner, *{ would be very huppy to judge of the. effect of your explosive bulls. Would you do me the pleasure to discharge some of them before me*" “It muy ensily be imagined that 1 hastened to gutisfy this reauest. The guests made a circle around us, and I soon lodged one of my balls in ‘the. trunk of a designated tree. All were amazed at the etfects produced by the explosion. ‘The Emperor then puinted to a large fir-tree, situated abont.130 metres distant, and requested F me to experiment on. that. | amed ut the summit, which the ball —reuched, when the ‘upper extremity of the tree split and tlew into splinters. His Majesty was enchanted with the result, and congratulated meonmy discovery, ‘Lhe Czarowitz und the persons Of his suite Surrounded me to question and compliment me. 1 answered everything to the best of my ability, but not without glanemg with an envious eye towards the refreshments ing from the table. ‘The which were rapidly diminis Tantalus could not have sutfered more. Marechal of the palace of the Grand-Du! prebending my trouble, xpproached and snid, in an undertone: “You forget to eat. Husten!” Iforgettoeat! O irony! i thought of nothing but that, Monsieur le Marechal; and, thanks to your intervention, I proceeded’ to satisfy, my bunger. I had scarcely reached out io seize L know not what, when the Emperor gave tho nalof departure. This was a second edition of the dinner of Sancho Panza. “2 uecepted the situation courageously, The chase was about commencing, and [ was not the mun to remain in the rear. {tightened my beit and started off with the cortéze. We halted, after having reached a distance of scarcely two. kilometres, near tho den of 2 second bear. The same arrangements were repeated aS previously, nd the animal suon came .from his retreat. ‘fais was an old fellow of n gigantic form. He did not bult x moment, but seemed tully tocomprehend the fate that awaited Bim, turning to the right and the left, and conclud- fms to make his way in ourdirection. Atone time the animal approached so close to me that, in order not to disobey orders, [seized my citr- bine vy the barrel, with the ‘determination to strike him, or af least prevent him forcing 2 pas- suge. My’ gesture frightened him without suoubt, for be changed his course and passed within range of the Emperor, who killed niin with one of my explosive balls, The ani- mal was curried to the feet of bis Majesty, who, after having examined itn moment, und per- ceived how curiously it bad been killed, turned to the invited cuesis, and, opening a little box, presented to each one of u3 2 chocolate bon- bon,—we bowing our recognition of the tavor. ‘This ceremony always terminates the Imperial chase.” It was after this hunt that Alexander IL, alarmed at the ravages caused by the explosive valis of Pertuiset, took tho initiutive that all know of,—bis representative at the Conference of Brussels, Baron de Jomtui, obtainmg from the Powers the exclusion of this terrible instru- inent of war. As already stated, the Czar abandoned the cti- quet of the Court on these huating excursions. He frequently conversed ‘familinrly with the Peasants: and on one occasion, on meeting x elr ‘This was after the war of 1870, and the girl pre- dicted all that has happened since, und all the dungers he has been exposed to. * When shal! L dio?” asked the Emperor. Tzigane was silent. command it!" said Alexander. Father,” answered the Bohemian, * the year of your death is inscribed in the year of your birth: 1618—Iss1!"" ———— The Last of the Louveticrs, A recent dispatch from Paris announced that a voluminous report hud just been printed by the Chamber of Deputies emanating trom the committee for,examining a law for suppressing tho uneient institution of the Louveteric, or professional body of wolf-destroyers, dating back to the Merovingian dynasty. The com- mittee, in place of the time-honored system. suggests a codu of rules for the effective de- struction of noxious animals in general. ‘This will be a ‘sad blow to the very Inrge and respectable ciass_ of country gentlemen who dearly prize titles and uniforms. Lefore 1789 the Louveterie, or wolf-destroying service, was pluced under the churge of the Grand Veneur or Grand Louvetier, the dignity being one which was bigbly prized und mucit sought by the nobles. Napoleon I. redstublished it and ft was maintained under the restoration. Louis Phillippe once again ubolished it, but It was revived by Napoleon LIL, to disappenr with the Second Empire. After 1789 bounties were olfered for the destruction of wolves, und the Government appointed agents to. superiutend bittues; at present the work is conducted under a series of rules estublished in 18H. ‘lhe Minis- ter of Finunce appuints the “Lieutenauts de Louveterie,” there being always a keen competition for such places among rich sports~ men and gentlemen desirous of weuring 2 pictu- resque uniform. Yhere must be a forest in the department to furnish an excuse for the up- poiutment and the louveterie must keep up the necessary establishment. ‘Tne would-be louv- etier hus been known, like the honest farmer in the Western States where a bounty is paid for wolf-sealps, to import 2 wolf or to rear a litter in secret, which, when duly grown, are let out tu be hunted.’ ‘nis latter course, however, is not unattended with certain perils. A com- ical story is ‘told of a louvetier who, having reared ‘some tine specimens of the race and turned them loose, Invited the .Pre- fect to-be present at # wolf-hunt, Nothing was found until when the touvetier and his distinguished guest were ridiag tome 1p- gether out of the bushes rushed # full-grown touvetier with ex~ pressions of deli ition which seemed like ferocity. ‘fhe Prefect turned pale: the louvetier drew his knife and stabbed the ani- ial dead. *Bravol” cried the Prefect, “A mere mutter of practice,” suid the other, coolly, “Iknow my wolves.” It is worth mentioning ehted rec that, though invested with his functions by e -Munister! lal decree, the louvetier is not an ageat of the Government nor public authority, and cuted for trespass, et in his officlat capacity. “But be the counterbalancing advantage of a unite that is too sweetly sweet, as follows: Blue cae with blue velvet collar and facings, teimmed 13, front and at the wrist with gold and Silver Ia “ pomted pockets, with similar lace, and scot stripes of velvet; yellow metal buttons, wit’? wolf on ene, chamols-skin breeches ana wep coat, hat looped up with a ‘cord of gold and ile Ver, boots aVecuyere, with silver spurs, belt yellow leather, laced like the coat, witha Silver.. hilted knife.
