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. Qualification!* of the .Successful Hunts* man—Tantalizing tli« Pack—* 4 I{loocl. ,, 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 cessful. an intuitive, inborn knowledge of hunting.

Iiiv.it the performance of all these details, he will have them as odor command and as ready to pen thing. I often begin in weakness, forcing myself to take up my pen, while some dim ideal floats in my mind. To fix this and bring it down into living action seems an almost impossible thing; but as soon ! as I fix and localize, touch human life in its outward action somewhere, a sense of home - ; often -e ev.-a wit dOilicsti. much i! work for him as he can wish if his hunt- i . ... , T , , mg <>! ihem is good enough and if they j ^ ._ a j gei i. ,.t confidence in his appreciation of them, and in his power to guide or help them, which is indispensable to sport. 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 fore 0 o’clock in the morning—and not before more than a dozen people—why, nearly half of them.—Outing. subject of new influences, and am often as much surprised at the result as any of my readers can possibly be.”—D.

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 warn’t a handsome critter, an’ it looks summut like him. tew.

A Dangerous durst- A white squall is one which produces no diminution of light. The furious and dangerous gust appears in clear weather without anv other warning than the 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 happy he resigned his place, and being 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.
