animal that was stated to be bull. According
to the reports, the animal behaved worse than
any bull ever did at a Spanish bull-fght, acting

were matador and he were charging at it, IIIe
first got loose in Centre street, where a lot of
boys vented large quantity of adolescent bru-
tality upon bin, and drove him out of his bovine
proprety. After tossing several of them in va
rious directions (still following the accounts),
he dashed around the City Hall Park miscella-
neously as though he had q peculiar spite
against the new Post Office. Pursued by
a cruel crowd, who were in for a good time,
he next dashed down Spruce street to Burling
Slip, when he suddenly changed his mind and,
instead of jumping in, as his pursuers expected,
dashed back again to the Bowery, kicking up
his hoofs resplendently. By this time the noise
of discharged firearms was heard and the "bull,"
making a rapid transit through Worth street,
put In another appearance in the Park. Like
General Washington among the Indians, the
beast seemed to bear charmed life. Pistols
and rifles were levelled at him in vain. He
seemed invunerable. Men, women, and children
he tossed with that absence of effort which char
acterizes the best endeavors of art. Occasionally
he varied his performances by going into Broad
way, and epdeavoring to secure private apart
ments at the Astor House. Atlength, at the corner
of Chatham and New Chambers Streets he met his
death. 1t came in the shape of revOlvers (of the
regulation pattern) and aXcs-the sharpest meat

The New York Club.
This club, which was once the most fashion,
able and exclusive in New York, is said to be
on the eve of decline. Some of the most able
and brilliant men in all those departments of
life where eXerton brings man into promi-
nence were once among its members. OF late
years. however, the stringency of the rules regu-
latiug admission to it have very much relaxed.
The reason manifestly is that the restaurant
department was tremendously expensive, and
"a additional members were necessary in order to
Sefray them. Consequently the old exclusiv-
ID was destroyed. 1t is probable, however
.-piat new club will be formed upon the ruins
of the old Indeed, the construction of a new
club from the best members of the New York
and Union Clubs is already being dis
cussed. There are good many wealthy
people who have intimated their will
lingness to subscribe liberally toward
an affair of this kind, but l doubt whether so
exclusive clique as it is desired to make of it
would flourish long in this city. We have plenty
of people who have plenty of money, bEt there
are comparatively few of these who have edu-
cation and culture enough to render an elegant
Longing place. as lounsing place, asuccess. The
transition from loungng to loafng is easy aud
inevitable among that large class of young and
wealthy New Workers whose brains are a vacuum
to which nature has not shown her usual abhor-
renee by filing it up. Consequently exclusive
clubs, in this city, must, for the next genera
tion or so, if they aspire to much splendor, be-
come sooner or later. exclusive failures.
Lord Hubert AinsIey.
Ever since the famous Penniman and De Bre-
mont case, which shook fashionable Gotham
from boot to bonnet, there has been a very
natural suspicion entertained in regard to the
family history of those numerous titled young
men who come to this country and tutter for
season or two among the wealthest families of
Fifth avenue and Murray Hill Before the final
settlement is made and Philander and Phills are
married, papa is eXcusably anxious about his
prospective son-in-law's pedigree, and consults
the British Peerage" with trepidation which
every father similarly circumstanced can SYM
pathize with. This is precisely what all the
newspaper men have been doing with respect to
Lord Hubert Ainsley, charming young gentle
man who one day. last week gave de-
je,tner la tourchette, in which the
''spread" was upon a white corded silk
tabe-cloth, and the bills of fare were printed
on pink satin edged with gold frill. This was
all very interesting, but it did not satisfy the
reporter of the period. This ingenious indivi-
dual consulted the British Peerage" in vain
No Lord Ainsley appeared there, and the Bohe-
mian cry nowis, SIS Lord Hubert Ainsley a lord
or not a lord?" Leaving those who raised the
question to answer it, would merely remark
that another titled gentleman, the Baron Henri
de Riviere, has been getting himself into trouble
don't think he married American girl.
Neither were the wedding ceremonies performed
in police court as they usually are with titled
Adventures in this country. He attached to
himself as his wife-the trihing consideration of
the ceremony only being omitted-a beautiful
French girl named Mad'lle Helene Stille. He
not only won her affections, but also some seven
or eight thousand dollars she had by her.
After living for couple of years in
Paris as man and wife, he persuaded her to ac-
company him to Lima Peru There they re-
manned for few months, and then returned to
Paris, where the Baron seemed to grow weary
of the little lady and finally ran off from her
and steered for this port. Hither she followed
him, and having ascertaned that he was stop

fore Justice Bowling. That gentleman sent
three deputy sberiffs in quest of him, and he is
now incarcerated, awaiting trial on a charge of
