He is the oldest horse in New York state, or In America in all probabil ashis ae can be reliably fix at 42 years, and ex-Connty Treasurer James k. Robinson, now 73 years old. thinks he can re- liably trace him back for 45 years. The animal is quite a curiosity, particularly to veteri- narians, who are anxious to see how long the veteran will live, and thus settle the mooted question of equine longevity. Origi- nally iron-gray tn color, Old Turk’s coat 1s now show-white. He is toothless and has to be fed on “soft food.” Mr. Robinson says he knew Old Turk 25 years ago, when he was a crack” trotter, owned, he believed. by Capt. Jacob H. Vanderbilt, and known as Guy Scuytis. He was one of the wonders of the old New-Dorp race course, and was purchased by Vanderbilt from Judge Clausen, who lived on the old Rich- mond road, near New-Dorp lane. A_proposi- tion made some years ago to sell Old Turk and thus save expense to the county, created quite a sensation, and evoked lively newspaper com- ment. Nearly one whole day was devoted to a scussion of Old Turk’s case by the board of rvisors, and his name also figures on the rds of the superintendents of the poor, who vd once or twice of selling him, Thomas McCormick, keeper of the alms-house, says that when Major Barnett, superintendent of the poor, proposed to sell him, a number of cit!- zens clubbed together 4 eed to pur- chase him and pay tor his keeping rather than allow him to be disposed of He had done good service to the county, and it was nally decided to pension him, Since that time he has done no more work than was necessary to keep him In condition. In this life of indo- lence he will probably continoe until his demise, of which there is uo immediate symptom. Mr. McCormick knows of the animal having been on the farm for twelve years. and his predecessor us keeper, Mr. Miller, told him that he had watehed Old Turk for twent this, knowiug him to be at | When he came to the Poor This would make hitn at least 42 rs ot age. Mr. Robin- son, who says several showmen haye tried to purchase him, 1s writing a history of the animal for inclosure in the box to be opened at Staten island’s tri-centennial In 1983. Mr. Robinson offered to pay fora set of false teeth for Old Turk, but no one could make a cast for the suction plate, and so Old Turk has to feea on “pap.” When the Poor Farm barn was burned last winter, Old Turk managed to make his es- Cape unassisted aud uninjured. ——— A Husband’s Love. A man who evidently thinks he knows, says: Ttis easy enough to win-a husband. Most any attractive little dumpling with a bright eye and @ coaxing voice can gather ina noble husband, but itis pretty diMeult to retain him. Noble husbands are thicker than hair ona dog, but the grand dificulty is to draw out theirtrue nobility and secure it at home. Ita wife only understands her business she can introduce the soothing racket in her new field of operations and walk away with the whole business. Most men liked to be loved and soothed. There is something in the man’s st nature that can be won with gentleness and pie than of the broom-handle and a bilious soning with bread and milk diet. girl who understood her b ness take a returmed road agent by the nos to speak, and lead him through ‘life In such a way that he wouldn't know but that she was Loss of the ranch. So perfect was the delusio that when she asked him to bring in a scuttle of coal, or get up in his night-shirt and kill a burg- lar, that he knew was nothing but a bobtailed cow four blocks away, he always went, and he felt as though he counted ita mark of special favor that a poor, unworthy worm of the dust, like him, should be sought out and del ed to go ang chase a lame cow across nine vacant lots with an old barrel-stave, and clothed in nothing but alittle brief authority andaknit under- shirt. We cannot exactly describe this magic: power of a devoted wife over her husband, and we do not intend to try it. Itis an unseen motive, a nameless leverage that makes the husband get up in the dead hour of the night and set the pancake batter near the partor stove. Aman need not think that because he gets up and looks for burglars in the night and {3 otherwise obedient tnat it is because he has no backbone.

From the London Truth, In these days every middle-class mother ought to train her girls to do something which is of marketable value. As it is, they are often not even trained for marriage. They know nothing—nothing about house work, servants, bnying, selling, health of children, their own health, economy, method, neatness, order—all ishappy-go-lucky with them. I hall the better system of education prevalent at our high schools and others under government ins] tion; but technical training of all kinds for girls is quite lett out. Ifa girl doesn’t marry she ought to be able to turn her hand to some- thing. Our social feeling is quite false upon this question. Everything is infra dig. Young ladies with nothing a year may do all sorts ot things for their amusement, but they must not do the very same things systematically for money. For instance, a girl will palat her own bed-room doors with flowers In panels, will pick out the cornice of her mother’s drawing-room, or will gild her picture-frames, but suzget that she should train herself as a house-high-art decorator, and she would no more sit upon a ladder in some one else’s house and pick out the cornice or paint a flower wreath on the ceiling for money than she would fly. That would be infra digi Therefore, girls are out from many industries tor which they might quality them- selves, and turn to In an emergency. ge In the connty court ot Princess Anne last week, John Jarvis was found guilty of the will- fal murder, by shooting of Claudius Bonney at Loudon bridge, that county, 18th September last.

There Is everything in beginning right.—_Byjalo Expres The Trath About George Eliot. This seems to come out in the following let- ter to the Boston Transcript: “Mr. G. W. Cooke's book om George Eliot, which he describes as a critical study of her life, writings, and philosophy, bas many points of great merit, which thonghtfal readers will not be slow to find out. As a study it is far richer io material and more truitful th method than any other yet made, and for a guide to writings which are themselves a grand field of literature, it is’ extremely valuable. “But on one point of thé very temarkable life of George Eliot, Mr. Cooke has given, from no fault of his own, not the trae account, but the false one put forth by, and on behalf of Mr, G. H. Lewes, Tinad opportunities, while Hving in England, to get first-hand testimony in regard to the character of Lewes in his earlier life, the real facts as to his first marriage, in which he was more immorai and provlizate than his faith- less wife was, and the truth as to the heart- wretchedness’ of George Eliot while trying to make the best of the mistake Into which Lewes, by deception, had betrayed her. rtion, 80 much insisted on In various that a rare happiness came to liot from what is called her marri is as contrary as possible to thereal truth, which was that, apart from her faithful eforts to make the best of the case for everybody, she was one of the most wretched and suffering of human bei ‘The true story of her life has yet to be told. The story that has been told for so many yeara, as to Mr. Lewes, never had any truth in it. It was first used to cheat George Eliot into a relation which with any suspicion of the trath her soul would have abhorred: and it has been used ever since to make current history tell lies favorable to Mr. G. H. Lewes. George Eliot, when it was too late, made the best sie could of the false position Into which clever lies had betrayed her; but it was out of her own heart, in the zreat story which. 1s so largely her autobiography, that she said, ‘There is no com- pensation for the woman who feels that the chief relation of her life has been no more than a mis- take. She has lost her crown.’ The facts which are the key to the true tife of George Eliot I have on the authority of alady of the highest character, who lived in Lewes’ family at the time that his first marriage was made ‘unhappy,” in a way much more dainning to the name of Lewes himself than to that of his faithless wife. ‘The circumstances were such as madeaclever lie about the situation very easy, and on that lle rested the ‘marriage’ of Georze Eliot with Mr. Lewes. How she was betrayed, how she tried to make the best of it and what her real life was, can be made out clearly enough, when one has the key, from her many reflections of her- self and Lewes in different aspects in fiction, and from evidence which, in spite ot industrious propagation of the false story, has come to light. There has been no sadder tragedy on the stage of recent history than the life of ‘George Eliot, and never has a crncified soul more purely Sought to redeem with sweetness of light a life as dark and bitter as trouble could make it. “PLyMovuTH, Mass. Epwarp C. Tow: ee Social Washington. BY HENRY LOOMIS ‘NELSO! From the December Atlantio. Of all places in this country, Washington 1s the city of icisure. On bright, winter after- noons, its thoroughfare ts full of pleasure-seek- ing saunterers; it isthe one community tn the United States whose working people are not for- ever filling its streets with the bustle and hurry of their private affairs. In truth, trade dis- turbs it very little. Commerce has no foothold where are enacted the laws intended to regu- late it. Business has left all the region for a more congenial atmosphere. In one or two places on the Potomacit~ has grasped at the river, but its fingers have slipped off, and the days when Georgetown and Alexandria were important market towns have passed away. De- caying warehouses and ruined wharves and grass-crown streets remind one'of a trad which is to the effect that once farmers brought their produce to now departed commission houses, to be loaded in sloops that crept sleepily down the yellow waters to the Chesapeake. The broad river seems consecrated to the heroic memories of two wars, for the interest in its al- townless shores centers in the .thousands 8 at Arlinvton and the one tomb at Mt. ron. ‘The banks of the stream at Washing. ton are almost as green with herbaze and tree: as the water-side of an unpretentious. villa: People whoare in government employ still make the majority of the more Interesting classes, and work for the public is done by many hands and ina few hours. Moreover, the men who are zed in it rarely permit it to worry them, ulmost invariably shake off its cates with their office-coats. After four o'clock in the afternoon, they do with their time what seems best to them, and, if thelr position warrants it, they devote themselves to the performance of social dnties,—a task which, more than in any other city of the country, is a pleasure. The afternoon teas, the evening receptions,—most of them very simple entertainments,—and the round of dinner-parties make constant demand upon the eligible men and women who spend their winters in Washington; and most of the men, except those who are in political or Ju- dicial life, have time to satisfy the demand. The question that Interests the world ont- side seems tobe, “How much Is social life dis- turbed and coarsened by contact with the poll- ticlans?” If we were to answer this inquiry from the novels that have been written about Washington, we should be obliged to confess that those who govern us have a great capacity for demoralizing the people whom they meet when they lay aside the labors of state, aud un- bend. The truth is, how that a fair pic- ture of the social side of Washington has never been painted. There have been truthful sketches of certain features, but all attempts to portray the life led by the clever and refined people have been unfaithtul, ‘The qmisrepresentation of which the capital has been the victim is due largely tothe great hotels and their environment} ‘The best side of the city cannot be studied in its public places, It would be unnecessary to say this of Boston, or New York, or Philadel- phia. No one would think of undertaking a study of the inner and best Ife of any one of our great business communities in the Vestibule orsmoking-room of his hotel. It is possible that Washinzton receives a diferent treatinent because the public has an idea that the city is composed mainly of Congressmen and Treasury clerks. It suffers from superficial observation. To astranger nothing isso distracting asthe bustle of the great caravanseries that are the centers of a life redolent with surface. politics, noisy, showy, and misleading, and with all the cheap pretentiousness ot shoddy fashion. Into this coarse and glaring activity very often fall the honest, worthy, unsophisticated country member and his wife,—he. frequently, & man of strong head and solid accomplishments, and she amodest, trustful, sensible housewife, whose ambition is satisfled with her husband's honors. This mingling of the vulgar and the innocent helps to maintain the deception, and does much to induce the casual observer to belleve that he is seoing the true essence, when hi is looking at avery bad imitation. Almost allthe writers of fiction who have fluttered, moth-like, about the shining subject have been too much attracted by the glare of the public places. It takes time and opportunity to learn that the men who are most in the newspapers are. not necessarily the most prominent in society, +o. ____ The Camorra, From La France, This secret society still exists in Naples, in spite of all the efforts that have been madeto root it out. In the vulgar acceptation of the term, the Camorra 1s simply anassociation of criminals, but with ranmtifications extending through all classes of society, even to the high- est seat of authority. To ¢ivean example of its most primitive mode of expression: You hire a cab, and at the moment you take your eeat the driver throws @ half penny to the ground. A ragged urchin picks it up, not for himself, for the Camorra; that ts Its share—its tithe on the driver's profit. The Camorra takes cognizance ot everything. Ifyou have a house to sell you must pay atax to the society, otherwise you will get no purchaser. Do you wish to buy one? Then pay again, else there willbe a con- spiracy to raise the price. Now and again you meet a man with his face disfigured with a scar. The scar Is the stamp of the society. The bearer is a Camorrista, who has offended against its rules, and asa punish- ment has been marked with a razor. I know a foreign manufacturer who diemissed two of his workmen, who afterward threatened to stab him. At first he paid ao heed to thelr threats, but finding the matter becoming serious he acted upon the advice of a friend, and walted upon a Camorrist leader. The latter said to him: “Are you disposed to pay us £10 a year, in retura for ‘which we guarantee that no one shall touch you?” ‘‘Agreed,” sald the foreigner. The chief sent for the two workmen, who were members of the Camorra, and said to them, “From this day the signore ig under our protec- tion.” The stranger was never molested after that; and what is more extraordinary 1s, that every time he pays his contribution the Camorris chief asks him, with an amiable smile, if he has no little “commission” for him to execute.
