SDME STHANGE ANTIPATHIES.
MASTER OF THE HOUNDS.
Remarkable Instances by Way of Illus
tratlon—A Dog at a Fcnst.
It seems absolutely incredible that Petef
the Great, the father of the Russian navy,
should shudder at the sight of water,
whether running or still, yet r.o it was,
especially when alone. His palace gar
dens, beautiful as they were, lie never
entered, because the river Moseru flowed
through them. His coachman had or
ders to avoid all roads which led past
streams, and if compelled to pass a brook
or bridge the great emperor would sit
with closed windows in a cold perspira
tion. Another monarch, JameS I. th<
English Solomon, as lie liked to lx; called,
had many antipathies, chiefly tobacco,
ling and pork. He never overcame his
inability to look with comi>osure at a
drawn sword, and it is said that on ono
occasion, when giving the accolade, the
king turned his face aside, nearly wound
ing the new made knight.
Henry III, of France, had so great a
dislike to cats that he fainted at the sight
of one. V» T e suppose that in this case
the cat had to waive its proverbial pre
rogative and could not look at a king.
This will seem as absurd as extraordinary
to lady lovers of that much i>etted ani
mal; but what are we to say of ihe
Countess of Lamballe, of unhappy his
tory, to whom a violet was s thing of
horror? Even this is not without its
precedent, for it is on record that Vin
cent, the painter, was seized with vertigo
and swooned ut the smell of roses. Scali-
ger states that one of his relations was
made ill at the sight of a lily, and he
himself would turn pale at the sight of
water cresses and could never drink milk.
Charles Kingsley, naturalist as ho was to
the core, had a great horror of spiders,
and in “Glaueus,” after saying that
every one seems to have his antipathic
animal, continues: “I know one (him
self) bred from his childhood to zoology
by land and sea, and bold in asserting
and honest in feeling that all without ex
ception is beautiful, who yet cannot,
after handling and petting and examin
ing, all day long, every uncouth and
venomous beast, avoid u paroxysm of
horror at the sight of the common house
spider.” The writer shares in this dis
like to a painful extent; in this ease it is
inherited from his grandfather. The
genial author of the “Turkish Spy” says
that he would far prefer, sword in hand,
to face a lion in his desert lair than have
a spider crawl over him in the dark.
The cat, as we have previously men
tioned, has repeatedly been an object of
aversion. The Duke of Shomberg,
though a redoubtable soldier, would not
sit in the same room with a cat. A
courier of the Emperor Ferdinand carried
this dislike so far as to bleed at the nose
on hearing a cat mew. A well known
officer of her majesty’s army, who has
proved his strength and courage in more
than one campaign, turns pale at the
sight of a cat. On one occasion, when
asked out to dinner, his host, who was
rather skeptical as to the reality of this
feeling, concealed a cat in an ottoman in
the dining room. Dinner was announced
and commenced, hut his guest was evi
dently ill at case, and at length declared
his inability to go on eating, as ho was
sure there was a cat in the room. An
apparently thorough but unavailing
search was made, but his visitor was so
completely upset that the host, with
many apologies for his experiment, “let
the cat out of the bag” and out of the
ottoman at the same time. Lord Lander-
dale, on the other hand, declared that the
mewing of a cat was to him sweeter than
any music, while lie had the greatest dis
like to the lute and the bagpipe. In this
latter aversion he as by no means sing
ular.
Dogs, too, have come in for their share
of dislike. De Musset cordially detested
them. When a candidate for the acad
emy he called ujxni a prominent member.
At the gate of the chateau a dirty, ugly
dog received him most affectionately and
insisted on preceding him into the draw
ing room. De Musset cursing his friend’d
predilection for the brute. The 'academi
cian entered and they adjourned to the
dining room, the dog at their heels.
Seizing his opportunity the dog placed
his muddy paws upon the spotless cloth
and carried off a bonne bouche. “The
Wretch, wants shooting!” was De Musset's
muttered thought, but he {>olitely said:
“You are fond of dogs. I see?”
“Fond of dogs?” retorted the academi
cian: “I bate them!”
“But this animal here,” queried D<!
Musset; “I have only tolerated it because
I thought it was yours, sir.
“Mine!” exclaimed the i>oet. “the
thought that it was yours alone kept me
from killing him!” — Cassell's Family
Magazine.
Secret of Cowl Horsemanship.
«. '‘A fellow learns a good deal about
driving here,” sarcastically growled an
old turfman, “when he stands about the
curb looking at the dudes and the coach
man. See that fellow,” jointing at a
voung man driving a high stepping horse.
“Why he is not tit to hold the reins over
a poodle dog. Now, it may ho style to
drive with the left hand, but you never
saw a horseman do it. • He knows that
it is unsafe. The only way to handle a
horse is with a rein in each hand. When
I rode racehorses I never let either hand
off the rein. 1 can send a horse along
with mv spurs, and I could, in my time,
make a*finish that would break some of
the * iceks'’of today. The secret of good
horsemanship is to have complete control
over the animal, and this cannot be done
except by being able to use the rerns in
an instant. 1 know this left handed
business is English, but I have yet to
find the Englishman who can ride better
than the Yankee.”—Buffalo News.

If a hunter is sufficiently versed in the
craft and has the physical strength.-.as
well as devotion to the cause, to go
through the fatigue—and it is very con
siderable—of drawing coverts (by far the
most wearisome part of the whole busi-
nes-), halloaing his hounds away to their
fox. cheering them in chase, as well as
always being close to them during a run,
he will do well to hunt them himself;
but it is a task of all tilings that demands
endurance, patience, keenness, in eminent
degree, and above all. in order to h<t suc

he ought to, spend a great deal of his
time in his kennels, often draw out the

Above all. if he Ls as anxious to kill as
they are themselves, and if, when he has
liis fox iu hand, more especially at the
end of a hard run or a long day, he
breaks him up in style, making the very
most of the obsequies, and tantalizing
them with the expected worry till they
are almost frantic.
To see a master or huntsman holding
his fox high in air, a big dog pack in
front of him, every hound mad with ex
pectation and baying with that savage,
angry note only heard when they are
about to eat him, and then with a last
“Wliarp, tcllvo, tellyo!” dash the fox
into their facts, to bo torn in an instant
into a “hundred tatters of brown”—this
sight is enough to stir even a limpid
spirit, and make it feel there Ls something
in fox hunting. There is a great deal of
moonshine talked about “blood,” but
hounds run just as fast whether they kill
or not. It is there instinct to chase—to
drive their hardest on the scent, accord
ing as it serves them—and it makes no
difference to them whether they have
broken up a brace of foxes in the morn
ing or not. as to how they will settle to
their afternoon fox. The primary busi
ness of the huntsman is said to be to kill
the fox; our own opinion is, that it is
much more to show sport; and if we were
master of any hunt servants who used
unfair means, such as heading him back
into their mouths at the end of a covert,
they would uot do it a second time and
stay with us.
“Blood” is a mania with many good
men, but most of all is it earned to ex
cess iu the cubbing season. From five be
ginning of September, often a fortnight
earlier, for several weeks, the practice is
to take out about thirty couples of hounds,
the majority being old, or “working”
ones, at daylight, tlirow them into some
small spinnerv or other place where there
is known to be a litter, and literally
“mop up” a brace or leash of the unso
phisticated youngsters before they have
ever heard the sound of horn or hound.
What young hounds want to learn first
and foremost is to put their noses down
and hunt a line by scent; and they are
certainly not. likely to do this by being
turned loose iu some inclosure where they
are for the greater part of the time per
forming natural feats of valor after hares
and rabbits. The real secret of this slaugh
ter of the innocents is to aggrandize the
total of masks at the end of the season.
A crack pack that goes out four and five
days a week will, in a good open season,
bring to hand from seventy to a hundred
brace of foxes. But how many of these
have been killed before c-ven Oct. 1—be

Lorenzo Dow's CSock.
At the New London county fair last
week John Troland, of this city, exhib
ited the clock that ticked for Lorenzo
Dow in his gambrel roofed house at Oxo-
boxo lake, six miles west of this city.
Elder Dow brought the clock from Eng
land. It is more than 100 years old. It
is a quaint and striking timepiece. There
is simply a rim dial plate, around which
two long crooked fingers creep, with
open air works behind it, so case, and
two or three brass weights on cords
dangle six feet lielow the face. It was
going during the fair, and attracted a
great deal of attention. Thousands of
people stopped before it. and elderly men
had many stories to tell off ks famous
owner, Elder Dow’s name being a house
hold word in tills part of the state.
“ ’Tain’t what you’d caff a pretty
piece,” said one of the visitors,. a stal
wart old ‘farmer, who remembered the
eccentric preacher, “but then Lorenzo

Sending Bivalves Over the Sea.
“Send oysters to England? I guess we
do. We shipped 600 barrels last week and
1,000 barrels this week, and the season is
only just opening,” said an old oysterman
to a reporter. “Last year we sent 103,000
barrels to Liverpool and Glasgow, and ex
pect to send more than that number this
year.”
“How are they packed?”
“In barrels. Each one contains from
1,200 to 1,500 oysters, placed on edge and
packed solidly, so that they cannot shift.
We export Blue Points, Sounds and Rock-
aways mostly. They don’t seem to have
any preference on the other side, but take
anything we choose to send them. It is
only ten years since the export oyster
trade began, and it has grown rapidly.
Our oysters pay no duties on the otlier
side, but have to compete with the native
English oysters and also those imported
from France.”
‘ - Are the English as fond of oysters as
we are?”
“Bless you, no. At least, they don’t
eat them as we do. This city alone con
sumes more oysters than England, Scot
land and Ireland, and nearly as many as
the whole of Europe. The laboring
classes over there scarcely know the taste
of an oyster, and the middle classes only
eat them on rare occasions, for they are
considered a luxury. The aristocratic
and wealthy classes are the only con
sumers.”—New York Mail and Express.
A Custom in Somerset.
By a farmer’s door I found a tall
branch of oak lying against the porch.
The bark was dry, and the leaves were
shriveled, but the bough had been origin
ally taken green from the tree. These
boughs are discovered against the door
on the morning of the 29th of May, azsd
are in memory of the escape of King
Charles from his enemies by hiding 5i
an oak. The village ringers leave them,
and then go the church and ring a peak-
for which they expect cider or small coin
from each loyal person honored with an*
eak branch. Another custom, infinitely'
is glad to tell you to go to the left and
turn the corner, and theft go to the right [
and you’ll find it.
But it must be only for once. If you
are always starving, always falling down,
always losing your way, the sympathiz
ers will grow tired of you, and in the end
you will become a public nuisance. It is
just so when your heart is hurt and your
soul bruised, when you are hungry for
comfort and tenderness, when you seem
to have lost your way amidst dark trou
bles, and in your desperate sorrow long
to tell everybody you meet how you
suffer. Under such circumstances a fair
proportion of your acquaintances will
feel with you, and will help you if they
could. They will comfort you, drop a
tear with you and listen to all your
moaning for once.
But if you keep on they will soon turn
away. They weary of a grief that lasts,
of woe that is unending. They expect
you to get over your trouble again, to
have your broken heart mended so that
the crack cannot be seen. You can
never, never really be yourself if your
heart is actually broken; and people live
for years who have that happen them;
but unless you wish to be shunned by
those who have loved you best, you must
pretend to have gotten over your grief.
You must force smiles and pretend to be
interested in things, and say nothing of
the haunting thought forever in your
heart. You must take your skeleton
and shut it into a closet, and only open
the door on dark nights, when no one
can possibly call.—Ledger.
Jenny Lind and Her Husband.
At the Goldschmidt house, in the Mor
ton gardens, Bolton,- S. W.. there are a
number of portraits of the great canta-
trice, and though none of them give the
impression of beauty, one can scarcely
realize that they once looked like this
curious little old lady. She is-tlie plainest,
most old fashioned little-body imaginable,
dressing in the style of thirty-five years
ago, with a plain skirt gathered into a
tight fitting bodice, and not a loop or’ bit
of trimming of any kind. „ Over' her
shoulder is a little cape, folded like a
Quaker. She wears her hair smoothed
down over her ears u»der a big white
cap. Jenny Lind’s husband, Otto Gbld-
schmidt. though he is quite bald, is fifteen
vears younger than his* wife. The story
of their marriage is a romantic one and
little known. During her travels through
America Sir Julius Benedict, her accom
panist, was obliged suddenly to return to
England, and then she remembered a
poor young German musician she had met
the year before and sent for him at once
to supply Sir Julius’ place:
It was not long before the youngaiusi-
cian was violently in love'with the prima
donna, but, being poor and unknown and
so much her junior, he Had no hope of
any success. Finally he' became so un

pressed by the cantatrice to tell the reason
for such a step, he confessed liis hopeless
love, and was astonished: and delighted
when she feQ into his arms and dedared
she had loved him from die first. They
have been extremely happy together^ and
