ASSHETON SMITH, THE ENGLISH NIMROD. A biography of Assheton Smith, the great Nimrod of England, has just been published in London, and from a review of it we take the following passage . “* This hero, not only of fox-hunting, but of all sports—for he was a firstrate shot, crick- eter, boxer, billiard player and sailor, as well a8 rider and huntsman—was fofned by nature for his part. He was of the right height for exertion and endurance—five feet ten inches— with a well-proportioned, muscular, rather slight frame, weighing ten stone in his early days, and latterly about eleven stone ten. Once only he found a man who could stand be- fore his fists, and that man said that his blow was like the kick of a horse. The story of his great set-to with the coal-heaver who had struck his horse is already pretty well known, His features were plain, and not indicative of co breeding, but intelligent and full of the cal mness of perfect self-possession and a reso- lute will. ie son of a great was in the saddle from his childhood; and so completely did he grow to it, that it was the pillow of his sickness and the arm-chair of his old age. A princely fortune enabled him to carry on his calling in princely style; and mar- rying at fifty-one, he had no family cares to turn his mind from the main object of hus life. He had the eye of a hawk; and not only for a line across country, but for other things. A box of papers was stolen from his study. He called in all his servants, questioned them all round, and received from alla denial. One of them afterward returned to the room to put coals on the fire. He collared him at once, and the man confessed himself guilty. He had read his guilt in his fece. His temper was hot, and once he appeared before a police magis- trate for thrashing the son of the attorney to a bubble railroad who had brought in his bill. He was a good und steady friend and hater, and generally rather obstinate, coming of a sire who, having opposed the making of the Menai Bridge, would never cross it when it was made. In the hbunting-field his tongue was sharp, but not foul. “Now then, sir, if you don’t think you’ve done harm enough siready, ride through my hounds again; but if you think you have, you may es well go home.’’ “ The dietetics of a man who rode hard with hounds till eighty are worth knowing. He drank little, but ext much, as well he might, considering his enormous amount of exercise. His regular breakfast on a hunting morning was one plate of hashed mutton, which he could digest in the saddle. He eat no lunch. ‘@ coming home from bunting, he used to go to bed for an hour, and then into a warm bath before dinner. He hardly ever wore a great coat. In his latter days he took to the water- cure, and wanted everybody else to take to it. ~‘He was a desperate rider in the full sense of the term. Perhaps no other man ever rode deliberately and habitually for a fall. He used to say that with a fall, you might get over anything; and that any man who professed to ride ought to know how to fall. ie knew himself how to fall, and in all his tumbles never but twice broke a bone; and of the two times, once from having a clasp knife in his breast pocket. He always fell clear of his horse, and never let go the bridle. Once, when his horse was plunging round him as he lay on the ground with the bridle clenched in his hand, a nervous friend called out to him to let 0, or he would be kicked. He replied, ‘he shall kick my brains out first.’ In making a cast, 8s in the run, he went without hesitation straight over everything whore he he thought the scent lay; and to this his success as a huntsman was partly due. On one oceasion, at the close of a run, he rode up hill over a fence, carrying away the top rail, which, when the top rail had been carried away, no other man in the field would look at. Finding the gate at the end of one of the two parallel bridges locked, he leaped clear over both rails to the other bridge. One day, in a hard frost, he per- suaded a master of hounds with whoo he was staying just to put the hounds into covert, and let them find a fox; and, the fox being found, went away with them, and had a hard run over the iron ground—a spree the thought of which sets one's teeth on edge. People were not astonished to see him go straight over the most treuendous places, but they were sur- prised to see that he did not even look round at the lead when he was over. Though a des- perate rider, he was not a wild one, but, on the contrary, most judicious, and gave his horse every chance. His hand was unequaled, and horses which no one else could manage were tractable with him. He never lost his temper with animals. His horse knew it was useleas to refuse with him, and one of them leapt with him into the middle of a pond which he had unconsciously ridden up to,with his head turned away, and which the horse thought it his dut to take. His hounds hailed his approach with joy far off, though he only hunted and never fed them. He was absolute master of his craft and all that belonged to it; and, what the Duke of Wellington was to other English Generals, that was Assheton Smith toother English huntsmen. “Nor was he master of the sportman’s craft slong. His strong sense and warm heart made him in other ways a useful man. He did a great deal of good, real good, and in a judicious way, among the poor on his estates, especially among the quarrymen on his great quarries in Woles. He saw the great fact that property is the root of a social virtue, and gave each of his men, as far 2s he could, a few acres of waste land,which they.of course, turned into agarden. He was a builder of churches and of echools, and the clergymen of “his parishes found his hand alwnys free. He had a great turn fur me- chanical contrivances, and was a great ship- builder He even disputed with Mr. Scott Russell the merit of having originated the ‘wave line.’ He is said also to have been the first suggestor of our fleet of gunboats. What it surprises us more to hear is that he was not without literature. Pope and Harace was his favorites. He knew ‘Eloise to Abelard’ by heart. He was also a passionate admirer of Shakspeare, and fond of rej ting the speech of Polonius, especially the lines (really appli- cable to his own character)— “To thine own self be true, And it shall follow as the night the day Thou canst not then be false to any man.” “Where Soo me up his Horace it is diffi- cult tosay. He was at Eaton 11 ears, but he said he learned nothing there, a probably he spoke the truth. There was a vein of religion in bim which showed itself, es nally during the —— of his last illness, in frequent ex- pressions of resignation to the will of.God. He was a regulsr church-goer, and always. what- ever the distance, on foot.. Without up for @ moralist, he discouraged am bling and de- bauchery in his sporting circle. A man who spoke to him jestingly of suicide was told never to joke on such a subject again. Though rather -willed, he was unselfish, and could not bear, when ill, to disturb his servant in the night. His heart was always easily touched. He and his horse having been kindly sheltered from the rain by the master of a wretched hovel, he next day sent masons to build the man anew house. A bill for £300 was handed round in his presence, and offered for £30. He saw that the name of the unfortunate drawer was that of an old school-fellow, paid £300 to the holder, and threw the bill into the fire. Of course it is easy for wealth to play the benefi- cont Caliph, but it was at least genuine feeiing ig Assbeton Smith. In politics of course he wasa Tory; and, asa member of Parliament, of course he never spoke but voted hard for his perty. He would post up to London from id aaa on the other side of Andover for a after a day's bunt.”’ I~ The Cleveland Plaindealer says that the Seca ee nn ans ol Seen’ quarters for the Ohio delegation bas and made areport.

The first principle to be observed is “ to keep ly in temperance, soberness and chas- tity.” The boxer knows that he is nothing without training, and accordingly he trains diligently. But, as the Oracle of the Ring puts it, ‘the mass of mankind, who indulge in excesses of every kind—in too much eating, drinking, sleep, sloth, smoking, &¢.,—would go through the task of life, would discharge their respective duties much better, far quick- er, and with vastly greater ease to themselves did they submit to training.” this is true of every one of life’s duties; but it is in an eminent degree true of a duty which many men have lately undertaken to perform —we mean the duty of volunteer riflemen. great part of the doubt which veteran officers entertain as to the utility of volunteers would be dissipated if the precepts laid down for gen- eral training in fistiana were diligently acted upon during the next three months. should then see bodies of active, patient volunteer soldiers, ready to bear at least as much fatigue as any regiment of the line, and to bear it with more cheerfulneas. is not demanded of professional men that they should train rigidly like the boxer. occupations would not imitate his mode of training as far as cir- cumstances will allow.” is here recommended depends onl A mar who had habitually practiced it, lately showed himself able at more than 70 years of age, to walk from London to “Depend upon it,” says the au- at man had been a temper- achaste man.” for their exam of North America, “whose | ge were & long hard course of rigid > Those savages, he says, were ever watchful, ever exercising themselves.
