From the Philadelphia Times. Hampton Court will suggest to every one who hasbeen in England a picture of the most en- chanting rural solitude that it is the fortane of mortal eyes to rest upon. 1 doubt yery much whether the fairy scenes of the Meaitercanean, Irom, that earthly paradise Monaco to theen- chanted isle of Capri, have power to fill the memory with such delight as the remembrance of a season at Hampton Court. A real presence of matchless sylyaa beauty, the old palace and its charming park, the p!actd Thames lining the whole distance, Hampton Court isa reminder of personages potent in the state, accomplished in letters, or pre-eminent in beauty.

Here the pensive Charles finally, after his yain quest to Pat Madrid in search of a bride, received the luck- ria Henrietta, and ‘passed the honey moon, which was one of the few unualloyed pleasures of the unfortunate prince’s life.

Plays and drinking, gambling and: what- not, were the constant diversions of this merry profligate, until godly folk mentioned the alace under breath as a place of nameless iniquities. For years it was difficult to say whether the palace was the green-room of the London theaters or the playhouse of the king. The gloomy James made his court there on great occasions. He transformed the chapel into a Roman sanctuary, and for the first time in more than a century the gorgeous vestments and imposing ceremonies of Rome were revived in the stateliness introduced by the founder, Wolsey. Some attempts at elaborating the architecture were made under James and his son-in-law Wil- Mam IIL, when he came to the throne. William ordered the Dutch ens, which still remain, and he took as much delight in them as his ad- mirer, the diplomat, Temple,-in his tulip beds, in the days when Swift's soul was gnawed by envy and ambition as his secretary and depend. ant. It was at Hampton Court that Swift came SP from his master, Temple, to king upon the mooted change in the privy coun- cil. Along these paths the despined Irishman walked hour by hour with the king, surprising that astute statesman by his sagacious judg- ments of men and his immeasurable superiority in the insight that deals with questions of state policy. ie ugly geometrical flower-beds that, were the delight of Willi heart are still the wonder of millions of who visit the ‘k and daring the summer.

He loved it better than any other royal abode at his disposal. Windsor was too far ‘In those days of primitive trayel; St. James and Whitehall were too stuffy. He needed air, and he rode to town and back daily whenraffairs of state were not too pressing. It was In amad gallop through the park that he met the accident that resulted in his death. The day was gloomy and the ground wet. His horse, a trusty animal that he had ridden during all his campaizns in the Low Countries, stepped into a post-hole, the king was thrown over his head and broke his collat=borié ‘in the fall. He had been suffering from a painful malady for years. and still more acutely during the latter few months. The fail resuited in his death, and the Jacobins said it was the hand of God pun- ishing him tor his ingratitude to his exiled father-in-law, James II. Prince Fred, the son of George I., was assigned the place as a resi- | dence; but he hated England and all things English as cordially as_his disreputable old ig- noramus of a father. He was never known to go on the Thames or hunt, or do any manner ot thing considered rational in a prince. Since the accession of Victoria the palace has been given up,to noblemen and noblewomen and army officers’ widows, whose means are limited. “There is a curious colony in conse- quence.

Life on the Pampas. From the London Fie!d. When Rosas, that man of “blood and fron,” | Was dictator of the Argentine country—a posi- | tion which he held for a quarter of a century. deserters from the army were inexorably shot, { nh caught, as they generally were. But | Where my boyhood was spent there was a de- | Serter, a man named Santa Anna, who for | seven years, without ever leaving the neighbor- hood of his home, succeeded in eluding his pur- suers by means of the marvelous sagacity and watchful care exercised by his horse. When taking his rest on the plain—tor he seldom slept under a roof—his faithful horse kept guard. At the first sight of mounted men on the horizon he would fly to his master, and, | seizing his cloak between his teeth, rouse him with a vigorous shake. The hunted man would start up, and in a moment man and horse would vanish into one of the dense reed-beds abound- ing in the place,and where np man could tol- low. I have not space to telf more about this | horse; but at last, in the fullness of time, when the figs were ripe—titerally, as well as figura- | tively, for it happened inthe autumn of the year—the long, tyrannous rule ended, and Santa Anna came out of the reed-beds where he had lived his wild animal life, to mix with his fellows. I knew him then. He was a rath heavy-looking man, with little to say, and his reputation for honesty was not good inthe place; but I dare say there was something good in his breast. itudents of nature are familiar with the modi- fying effects of new conditions on man and brute. Take, for,example, ti: ; he must | every day traverse vast ai quickly, Judze rapidly, be ready at 's to encounter hunger and fatigue, vic} ses of tempera- ture, great and sudder These conditions have made him differ trom the peasant of the Peninsula: he hh endurance and keen ht of a we! rtile in expedients, quick in action, vali u life not at all, and is, in pain or defeat, a stoic. Unquestionably the horse he rides has also suffered a great change. He differs as much from the Enzlish hunter. for instance. as one animal cau well differ from an- other of the saime species. He never pounds the earth and wastes his energies In vain pa- rade. He has nut the dauntless courage that performs such brilliant feats inthe field, and | that often as not attempts the impossible. In } tRe chase he husbands all his strength, carrying his head low, and almost grazing the ground with his hoofs, so that he !s not a showy animal. | Constant use, or the slow cumulative procese of natural selection, has served to develop a keen- ness of sense almost preternatural. The vul- ture’s eye, with all the advantage derived from the vulture’s vast elevation above the scene sur- veyed, 1s not so far-reaching as the sense of smell in the pampa horse. Acommon phenomenon on the pampas isa sudden migration of the horses of a district to some distant place. This occurs in seasons of drought, when grass or water falls. The horses migrate to some district where, from showers having fallen or other circumstances, there is a better supply of food and drink. A slight breeze blowing from the more tavored region, which may be 40 or 50 miles away, or even much further, is enough to start them off. Yet, during the scorching days of midsummer, very little moisture or smell of grass can pos- sibly reach them from such a distance. Another phenomenon, even more striking, is familiar to every frontiersman. For some reason, the Gaucho horse manifests the greatest, terror at an Indian invasion. No doubt his fear is, in part at any rate, an associate feeling, the coming of the Indians being always a time of excitement and commotion, sweeping like a great wave over the conntry; houses are in flames, families flying, cattle being driven at frantic speed to places of greater safety. Be this.as it may, long before the marauders reach the settlement (often when they are still a whole day's Journey from it) the horses take the alarm and come wildly fiying in; the contagion quickly spreads to the horned eral stampede ensues. The Gauchos maintain that se jorses: pan the al eae, 2 bobeve they are right,for when passing a Indian camp, from which the wind blew, the horses driven before me have suddenly taken it and run away,leading me a chase of many miles. The lon that ostriches, deer other fleet animals driven in before the invaders might be the cause of the stampede cannot be oiee since the aengiog ni famillar with the hunters, le, and a gen- [ The members of De Molay Commandery, No. 4, K.TT.,observed Christmas day, yesterday, in a novel way.

Whenever any debility of the generative organs occurs, from whatever cause, the continuous stream of ELECTRICITY permeating through the parts must restore them to healthy action. There is no mistake about this instrument. Years of use have tested it, and thousands of cures are testified to. Weakness from Indiecretion, Incapacity, Lack of ‘Vigor, Steriiity—in fact, any trouble of these organs is cured.
