Cambuscan was raced in nd Eng! at two and three years old, being then the erty of the Earl of Stamtor fie was a Tre class two-year-old performer, but did not do much in the following year, and was eventually Soid to the Hungarian government. Water Nymph was bred in Hungary, and purchased for a mere bagatelle by Mi Blascovitz, for Whom she bred Kincsem, and it is needless to say how little that gentleman thonght what a bonanza he was purchasing when he invested for the first time in blood stock. This gentleman is a merchant in Buda-Pesth, and farms a few acres near the eit: Mr. Hesp, who has’ a ‘that vicinity. Mr. i birth, and learned the sion under John Scott, who was known far and Wide tn turf circles as the Wizard of the North. The writer was introduced wo Mr. Hesp at Frankfurt last Aug. the day previous to to Kincsem’s fiftieth victory, aud was taken to the mare's stabl, where saé¢ was enjoylag her evening feed. Having seen race horses in all quariers of the glove, incinding Gladiateur, Blair Athol, Lord Citden, Longiellow, Harry Bassett, Moharehist, Duke of Magenta, Wheei of Fortune, aud many other high-class race horses, tie writer can salely assert that this mare outsuines them all.

Her temper, too, — —— 48 pemect, but having been pampered since she was a baby, the mare has naturally a few whims and peculiarities. She is very particular about the water she drinks. On one Occasion she flatly refused to drink the water brought to her, and acart was sent some miles to a neighborin: town to fetch her some of a different kind, whic: she was graciously pleased to approve of. Mr. Hesp always takes his own hay and oats with him when he leaves home, in case of belng una- bie to find provender to suit her ladyship. In one rgge as a two-year-old she was stand- ing when the flag fell, losing fifty yards, but this did not help her opponents at all. At two years old she won ten races; three ‘teen; four years old, fifteen; aud twelve—making fifty-four in all rhere is hardly a sire of note in the English stud book that she does not trace back to. Coid weather or hot, lard tracks or mud,come all alike to her, and traveling in cars on the eve of a race never diminishes her wonderful pow- as. She ts rightly named Kinesem, which, literally interpreted, means darling. Hybernation. Most beasts do not hibernate, because th: ave the power of keeping up a uniform bod: jemmperature in spite of the cold of winter. In the dormouse, marmot, and many allied forms, however, as also in the hedgehog and in bat we do find this winter sleep to occur. The lower animals, such as epttles, frogs, and efts, many fisaes, spiders, shellfish, and worms, also ent into this state; while yet ower creatures, such as infusoria and rhizopods, protect themselves by excreting, and forming a structureless, spheroidal coat or ‘‘cyst. su preparing to ht- Dernate animals seek secluded and sheltered nooks, or burrow in the dry ground or in mud, or conceal themselves in’ moss or beneath the bark of trees. There they fall into a sleep (either uninterrupted or in- terrupted by _ intervals ot activity) which endures more or less according to Jati- tufle and nrg vers length of winter. During this sleep the ly-heat of warm-blooded ani- mals falls greatly,as respiration and circulation lake place very gently and slowly.

A story is told of a wealthy Wethersfield man who invariably carries a well-stuffed pocket- book around with him, and 1s blessed with the ypy_faculty of holding on to what he has . He never heads a subscription ne what he might do in this direction will never be known until some man with the requisite Pluck can be found to ask him. One day his lethoric calf-skin was missing and with it 1,300 In bank notes. If an electric battery had poured a broadside down the Doctor's spinal column he could scarcely have felt a greater shock. His hands flew from pocket to pocket, end his face lengthened and took on a lugu- brious and sorrowfulair. Finally he bethought himself of a visit he had made that morning to Bill Wells’, on Wolcott Hill, where he went to look at_a sow of large size. The Doctor reasoned that his lost ket- book was in the pen against which he leaned. He assumed that it would be an easy matter for % to drop out of his pocket with his body thrown forward in the manner he remembered ithad been. It was think and go with him. He clambered into his old lumber-box wagon and headed his untamed Bucephalus towaras Bill Wells.” On reaching his destination he rushed to the penvexpecting to see the wreck of his ok scattered around the pen. But disappointed. Not a sign was there. “Great guns,” the Doctor exclaimed, “the old sow has Swallowed it whole.” ‘Then Mr. Wells appeared on the scene, and in a moment the excited Doctor cried’ out: “What'll you take for that sow?” “Oh, I don’t know,” moderately responded the other, “Tdon't want any ‘doh’t knows’ about it,” roared the Doctor. “What'll you take for that sow, I say?” “J don’t know as I want to sell It,” replied Mr. Wells, who evidently didn’t underst the situation. . “You must sell it. Set yourown price, but I ee have that sow,” pleadingly urged the old farmer. “Weil. then, say $75,” and Wells’ eyes twink- led merrily as he named it, supposing the price would cool the Doctor’s ardor. And he was astonished at the replys “T'll take it. Now kill that hog,” was the prompt reply. Mr. Wells now knew he was crazy, and again tried to curb hisexcitement. But this only ad- ded fuel to the flames. “Kill that hog, £ say,” again thundered the Doctor. “She'll algest it If you don’t.” “Oh, come, get Into your wagon and ride home with me,” soothingly suggested Wells. “ Bill Wells, do you think I am crazy? I tell you that sow has swallowed my pocket-book, With $1,300 In it, and ff you don’t hurry up and have her killed she'll digest it and I'll lose every dollar.” Mr. Wells still looked on in silent astonish- ment. My friend, will you kill that hog?” and he rammed his hands down tn his overcoat pock- ets with such force that he discovered a hole in one of the pockets, and 2s he dove deeper down his excitement gave place toa feeling of satis- faction. Between the lning and the cloth of his coat he found the lost pocket-book, with its contents undisturbed. Not a dollar had been | digested by the innocent old sow. He offered his neighbor Wells a ten-dollar bill not to say anything about it, but the offer was declined with thanks. A FREE SEAT.

LEE §I SIMPLE FUNERAL—HOW A CHINESE WASHEE WASHEE BURIED HIS FRIEND. Philadelphia Record. } The dead ly of a native of the Celestial Empire lay in a coffin on the ground floor back roomn of a Chinese laundry ou 3d street, above Bainbridge, yesterday morning. The face was lepg anc emaciated, as though the dead man had passed through months of suffering before h.searthly carcer was brought to a close. For a covering the body had thick cotton underwear over which was a calico nightdress. Around the coffin a dozen peculiar wax candles, which emitted a stil more pecullar odor, sheda flicker- ing light on the face of the corpse. Presently a hearse, followed by a solitary carriage, drove up to the Gor. Then Joe Lee. the proprietor of the laundry, approached the head of the dead man and repeated a few sentences tn his native lan- guage. When hehad fluished the undertaker was ready to put on the lid, the coffin was borne to the kearse through the crowd of open-mouthed children, men ans sidewalk, Joe Lee entered the carriage alone, and one of the shortest funeral processions ever seen in Philadelphia went on its way to the cemetery. The man who thus went to his grave with but a solitary mourner, was known among the Chinese colony as Lee Sing. He came to this city nearly seven years ago, and, so say his countrymen, was the third Chinaman to settle in Philadelphia. Yor years he had beea more or less ailing with rheumatism and consum Uon of the lungs, which early in the year made such inroads on his system that he was forced to take his bed. His sleeping apartment was on the second floor of Joe Lee’s laundry, and when it became evident that his fellow-country- man was nearing his end Joe was unremitting in his attentions to him. Neglecting his ‘washee-washee,” Joe went around among the Chinese and collected what they would ‘ttre to! rocure Lee Sing what was necessary to Soothe is dying hours. When the cash thus obtained was insufficient Joe himself drew upon his slender store in order that bis tenant should not want. Last Tuesday morning Lee Sing expired, and, unwilling that he should find a pauper’s grave, Joe at once went to an undertaker, gave orders tor a decent burial, and personally as- sumed the financial responsibility. ‘he interment took place at Machpelah ceme- tery, 10th and Washington avenue. On the east side, hear the railings, a grave has been dug. Into this the walnut coffin, with its silver- Plated mountings, was lowered. Joe Lee, ina heat suit of black, stood at the head of the grave ij and watched the operation with a stolcal coun- tenance. There were no ministers in attend- ance and no religious ceremony. When the coftin had touched bottom Joe Lee juested tbat the grave should be filled up In his pres- ence. He didn’t want the body-snatchers to get at it, he explained to the grave-digger, and then, after a parting injunction to the latter to Icok out for the body thieves, he jumped into the coach and was driven away.

How a mdent Miner at Last Fille is Sack With Geld. [Boulder (Colorado) News and Courier.} Some time last spring the owner of the Emer- | Son took up an extension of that lode, na: it | the Concord. When only five feet down they sold out—one-third interest to 8S. B. Sutherland and the other two-thirds to G. F. Greer, of , and a brother of his who lives in Og- densburg, New York. Mr. Sutherland was a poor man, buta practical miner. lis labor was ut up it of two men furnished by the (essrs. Greer, who are capitalists, and the work of development went on. For the first ten or fifteen feet good pay was taken out in the form of rusty and free gold. Then the “streak” was either lost or played out. Confident that he Was on a true extension of the Emerson crevice Mr. Sutherland continued his work all summer and fall without faltering, though the tollsome days yielded not! ‘but barren rock. Week after ‘week and month after month wore away, each more weary than the last, and still no returns. He was getting in debt and had to borrow money to pay taxeson his little house. Still the plucky miner picked away at the obdurate- ly worthless ite, breaking and blasting a road inthe direction where he felt sure the treasure lay. Christmas and New Year's came, | and he hadn’t money enough to buy the wife a “Knowing ones” de- a “blow out,” and he had ex- hausted the y the first fifteen feet—wovld never get another cent, etc., etc. All through January he worked on with unabated energy, but with a heart growing heavier as each ay made It seem more likely that he would at last be forced to abandon the undertaking and yield | his hopes of fortune. February came. A mort- ge Was coming due on the little hom. Credi- | rs grew impatient. The wife, growa nervous and despondent on “hope deferred” which | “maketh the heart sick,”spent days in weep- | ing: and every night plead with her husband to gait and go to work where he could earn some ing. At last he pean himself to be dis col and made uP, is mind to giveup the Concord, but—he would work the weex out. On Tuesday he stood in the bottom of the shatt, looking disconsolately at the pile of worthless “gang rock” and rubbish that must be hoisted to the surface before he could go down‘any further. He picked Wr a drill, drew a sigh and said te himself: ‘While the boys are cleaning out T' put ina shot here, just for luck.” By the time | the boys had the bottom cleared the shot was in, and when it went off he put the rock in the bucket and told those above to dump that on one side till he should come up. This was on Tuesday, but he never thought to look after the roduct of bis shot for luck” until Thursday. Carelessly examining it then his practieed eye discovered a small piece which bore the unmis- takable marks that made his heart leap with new hope. He hurried down the shaft, got things in shape, and by Saturday put in a blast where he now felt sure the long-lost streak lay hid. When that shot went off he gathered up a sack full of glittering specimens that, to look at, would make old Midas himself smile again. We saw a few pleces at Mr. Greer’s rooms, and could not rest until we had looked at the whole . in company with a friend to in- e calledon Mrs. Sutherland and rinitted to overhaul the lot— about haifa bushel—of pleces ranging in weight from an ounce or two up to seventeen pounds, and not a piece that does not_show free gold or the still richer vein of telluride of gold. Experts estimate the value of the sack at not less than $1,000, And now Mr. Sutherland issure that he can work right back toward phe surface—as well as downward and latterally along the lode —and find the rich streak ail the way. ‘The Merchants of Santa Fe. 4 Tespondenceof the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. | | Vast fortunes have been made by many of tie merchants of Santa Fe, especially by those of early (mes, some of whose number are now en- joying their wealth in regal splendor in the gaudy metropolies of the East or in Europe.

Times.] No pantomimie transformation scene so com plete in all its details was ever seen in al theater as that which was performed the other evening at the Lyceum. It was the one hun- dreuth night of “The Merchant of Venice.” Abcut 300 representative men were iavited to sup with lenry Irving after the play, to cele- braie this Shakespearean event. Within 45 Minutes of the last scene, an elaborate set ot Jace, the stage was a white and crim: brilliantly Ughted, and some 30) guests were sitting down to a repast of Gunter’s rarest kird. Gunter is the Delmonico of London. and Irvizg was the Lucullus of the occasion. A graceful and dignified host, he had given Gun- ter carte bianche. ‘The champagne was in mag- nums. There was not a wine on the table that was not the choicest of its kind. The feast began at midnight with oysters and turtle; it finished with cigars worth a shilling apiece and coffee fit for the Sultan, at 7 next morning. And there he was all the ‘time, the gracious and genial host, a prince In private life and a mas- ler i his profession. Lord Houghton proposed his health. Irving 1s not thought to be a great speaker, but he was quite equal to the occasion, and showed a readiuess of repaite that brought down rounds of applause, for he took up all Lord Houghton’s points in reply, and proved himself ready and start at post-prandial oratory. The run of * ‘The Merchant” is unprecedented, and at present it does not abate one jot. ‘Those who profess to know say that from the first night to the present time Irving’s profits are over $5,000 a week. ‘There 1s another actor who promises in his line to become as popular as Irving. Indeed there are only two male artists on the London stage at the moment who may be sald to draw Individually for them- selves alone. ‘These two are Henry Irving and Charles Warner. It is two or three years ago since I called your attention to the last-men- tioned actor in “The Danjeheffs,” since which time he has achieved two distinct and remark- able <u :cesses at the Princess's as Tom _Robert- son in “It's Never Too Late to Mend” and Coupeau in “Drink.” His delirtum-tremens scene in the Anglo-French play was a revelation of psychological power. It “made” the play of “Drink,” from which, between them, Reade and manager Gooch are sald to have cleared $150,000, ‘The drama being withdrawn, and and “The Streets of London” put up on Monday last, “for four weeks only,” as a stop gap pend- ing preparations for a new work, Warner has been received in the late George Vining’s part of Badger with a nightly ovation. A cruelly play, “The Streets of London,” is now ail the more stale in its sensational devices, seeing that the “effects,” which were new 17 years ago, have since been used ad nauseum. Yet, while Warner is on the stage the andience is delighted. AS an instance of the beral sentiments which inspire Irving. it may be mentioned that he was among the first to congratulate Warner on his success. She Knew All About It. {Detrait Free Press.) Just about midnight the other night, four men ina Detroit saloon sat looking at a fitch. The fifth one was drunker than the other four. While all men were created equal, some men get drunk twice as fast as others. “It will never do to send him home in this condition,” said one of the four after a long st- len ce, “No, it would break his wife’s heart,” added a nd. “But we can’t leave him here, and if we turn him out the police will run him in,” observed the third. “T have been thinking,” mused the fourth. “He has a telephone in his house. Here is one here.

The slide occurred at the head of M te Canyon, near the mouth of the tunnel of the water company. Five men —McLane, Kennedy, Birney, McCaul and Tait— started yesterday morning to\go w the mountain to work. Tait told the others that he feared there would bea snow-slide,as the conditions were fa- yorable. Soon after the snow was seen to start over a la’ on the side of the mountain at the head of the Marlette Canyon, and in an instant the avalanche was upon them. Tait saved himself .by a a stump an hanging on like “grim death.” McLane, Ken’ necy and Birney were swept away and buried under the snow. McCaul was swept, about fifty yards and was found by Tait buried to the suculders, the snow so tightly packed about him that he could not move his hands or arms. A hat belonging to oue of the others was found some distance below where McCaul was discov- ered, and this was the only trace of them that ‘was to be seen. ‘About fifty woodchoppers were soon on the ground and engaged in searching for the zatsstn; men, but at last accounts none of them hi been found. Some are of the opinion that the bodies will not be found until the snow melts off in the spring, as Marlette Canyon Is said to be filled up to 1s full width for a considerable distance. It was asiide of the dry, new snow, which had fallen upon the frozen crust that covered the old snow, The stump behind which ‘Tait took shélter was not so large but that he Was able to clasp bis hand around it, and in tats position he held on unui the slide had passe1 over him.—-Virginia ity (Nev) Enterprise, Feb. 24.1, Women and Theit. Col. John W. Forney, who ts one of the mos noted “‘soclety men” in the country, must held responsible for a ventilation of the petty frailties of “‘soclety women,” in a late number of his paper. the 2707 Ué says: “Women have small faith in the honesty of women; they will tell you that at reception: parues, and the itke, small ornaments are always carried off; that card and phote- graph aibums of reception room tables ,are regularly plundered, and that artificial and growing flowers are clipped and torn to pieces if they stand anywhere within reach of visitors. It ts always women who are suspected of these thefts. If women are right in their opinion of women, and you look for the explanation, I do not think that you need look far. A lJady may do with impunity what a gentleman would never dream of doing, and she knows it. A man dare not gossip, for if he does, and any one is injured thereby, pun- ishment is swift, sure, and severe. But to gossip is the privilege of the lady, and she is never called to account. So with this older and graver sin. Suppose, for instance, it was tively known that a rich and aristocratic dame had deliberately stolen one of those rings, what would be the result? Nothing of course. The affair would be hushed up. But suppose it was a gentleman; well he would be ruined forever— as mi as if he was caught picking a pocket in a crowd.” A Practical Sweet heart. Anice young man employed in a cigar store on King street, Toronto, resolved the other day to present his intended with a nice pair of boots. He accordingly procured her measure, and went into one of the fashionable stores on King street. and purchased a $2 pair of boots. In order to make the present appear more valuable he marked $5 (the amount of a week’s wages, we think,) upon the soles of the boots, and at his requeststhe clerk put a receipted bill for $5 into one of the boots. The presentation was made, and the lovers were happy, as lovers should be. But mark the sequel. The girl examined the boots in the day- light, and was not satistled. She was convinced that her lover had been cheated in the pur- chase of such a pair of boots at that price. She decided to go and change them and obtain a better bargain. ‘The next day she appeared in the store and solicited a pair of boots, price #4, and politely returned the beots for which she said her husband had Feld $5. The receipted bill was producea, and he boot man found it was impossible to go “bebind the returns.” ‘The smart girl took her # pair of boots and obtained $1 in money, and Went home happy and satisfied. The boot seller sent a bill for $3 to the young man, who promptly paid the difference, but hethinks that girl knows more than he thought, although he os ape going with her so long.—Zuronto raphic, 105.

Churehyard literature comprises many spe- cimens of the laconic epitaph, but hardly any so noteworthy as one in the New Churett at Amsterdam, consisting simply of two Fiemtsh words, “Efen nyt,” meaping exactly. The fol- lowing is “the history” of this brief epitaph, as transcribed in my old scrap-book—I don’t re- member where I got it: ‘These words are in- scribed OL an ancient monyment of whitish marble, on which there 1s also sculptured a pair of slippers. ‘The story runs that a gentle- man who was tolerably wealthy. and loved above all things good living, conceived the no- ton that he wouid only live a certain number of years, and, desirous to leave none of his wealth unenjoyed, he made a nice calculation of bis fortune, which he so apportioned for every year he was to live (according to his own notion) as to last exactly the same time with his life. Curious enough, it so happened that his calculations did not deceive him, for he died exactly at the time he had previously reckoned, and had then so far exhausted his estate that, after paying his debts, there was nothing left but a pair of suppers His rela- Uves buried him, and caused the slippers to be carved on his tomb, with the laconic epitaph, ‘Exactly,’ "Notes and Quer = _siIndians as Snowballers. ‘rhe Washoe Indians and the white boys find the snow just moist enough to pack into hard snowballs.
