The GRAND CENrAE Ho1EI Anona
the most striking types Of the progress ol
the age is The development Of palafiaI hotel
enterprises. New York his just ushered In
a new triumph in this particular. The
Grand Central Hotel, situated on Broadway
midway between the up town and down
town hotels, rears its magnificent marble
front and swallows up almost an entire
block. Only opened, as it were, on yester-
day, it has become already crowded with
guests, from every part of the country. As
you enter It's magnificent portals, the bril-
liant coup d'oeil exceeds anything yet pro-
dCced in this country or the world One
becomes absolutely confused with the sur
rounding magnifcence. 1t has TO be seen
to be appreciated. The Grand Central bears
acout the same relation TO other first-class
hotele as the Great Eastern did to other first
class ocean steamers. With between one
and two hundred rooms more than any 9TH
er hotel on this continent, the Grand Cen
trail Is the colossus Of the age. In all the
appointments, everything is fully up to the
mark for frst-class New York city hotel.
The carpets. furniture. parlors linen. and
all the ctcetera- are gorgeous.
The genial proprietor, Mr.. III. l.. Powers,
of hotel renown. whose remarkable admin
istrative qualities eminently fit him to pre-
side over this modern Coliseum, and all his
numerous corps of assistants, are most at
tentive, polite, and kind, and appear to run
the vast establishment with natural ease
and system. Already the Southern ele-
ment is concentrating at this house, where
one is almost certain 10 meet with friends /
and acquaintance without the trouble of
going around in the search to the other |
hotels. To enter upon minute description |
OF this new wonder of the world would be /
fatiguing, from the misunderstanding ofdetail |
Suffice to say, that those who may favor |
the immense establishment with their pat
ronage, cannot fail to be pleased with the |
genuine courtesy extended, and to retain
agreeable remem brances of the uniform and
polite civilities showered upon them. The
price of board at this hotel is exceedingly
ranging from three to four dol
lars per day. according to location of room.

a Wolf story.

From the Turf, Field and Farm,l
A weird-like romance hangs over the
nights that crown the river Rhine. Tales
Of feudal magnifcence in ancient times
rival the stories that lead romantic his
tory to scenes of the same character in
Scotland, and the Rhine passes in its
course through all the varied changes Of
ragged magnifcence to the calm waters
that are builded by fertile valleys re-
sembling rather the placid quiet of lake
than the progress ola stream.
q The upper Rhine formed a frontier de-
partment of France, and Alsace, which
belonged to the German Empire till 1868,
after passing to the control of Austria,
was finally annexed to France by Louis
XVI in 1897, and the province is now the
battlefield of Prussia. In the west of
this province are the chains Of the
Vosges and Jura mountains. These
stretch in gloomy magnificence, and with
the exception Of the poor Alsatian
weavers. are rarely penetrated, save by
an adventurous hunter in pursuit OF
game. The chamois here are sought by
the sportsman or pursued by the wolf,
who make this nimble-footed courser of
the forest their chief Subsistence, save
wheu in descent upon some fertile and
cultivated spot in the plains, they extend
their forays 10 the sheepiOld of the
peasant.
Rarely, however, does the wolf make
these incursions, unless impelled by the
stern dictates Of hunger This spurs the
natural laziness of his disposition, and
he then becomes the most raveRpus of
animals, exercising all the sagadty Of
the fox, with an iHsatiate rapacity that
leads him in extremity TO. prey upon the
carcass of his brother wolf The fetid
odor of his body is so disagreeable that
the dogs will hardly attack him, and the
flesh refused 10 be eaten, even by the
bloodhound who pursues his trail.
An old hunter relates a night oxpe-
rience in the forest of the Vosges (when
the presence Of these animals was more
numerous than al the present time) and
how, by an ingenious ruse, he defended
himself and dogs from the onset Of n
pack of these rspaciou beasts.
Night has overtaken the hunter more
than league aud half from the near
est civilized border. Accustomed TO the
bivouac, be did not hesitate to spend the
night IN the forest, relying upon the re-
suits of the days labos for asatisfaetOry
meal, which, with ,huntsmans provi-
dental skill, was duly prepared by the
cheerful fire that contributed both nour-
ishuentr and warmth No eignTOf a
lurking foe was remarked until reused
by the instinct Of his dogs, who crouched
at.his feet, their hair brisllihg with ter
ror, the expert hunter was warned Of a
present danger. Aninstants 5 reflection,

Particulars OF the Death of Aris
ThrOckmOrt0n.
Special Dispatch to the Couricr-Journal.l
OwEYsBoRo, November 2S.-The fol-
lowing are the particulars Of the death
Of Aris Throcleinorton. About two weeks
ago Throckmorton, in company with Al
fred Thruston and another young man,
went hunting on the farm of Psyton
Kincheloe, about three miles above
Owensboro. Kincbeloe, observing them,
ordered them of his place, and forbade
them to kill any more game on the same.
Some words of an unfriendly character
passed between the parties, and young
Throckmorton and Kincheloc engaged
in a fight, which resulted in the defeat OF
the latter Whether either of the other
two young men engaged in the affray |
am unable to say. On last Satur-
day, November 26, as young Throck-
morton was ON his way home from
town, he was met by kincheloe and
another young man about half mile
above Greensboro A few words had
passed, when some other parties, who
were also on their way home, came, and
were told by Kincheloe to pass on, that
they had no use for them. After the
parties had passed short distance, they
heard the report of pistol twice, 4, and
instantly returning, they found Arls
Throckmorton weltering in his blood.
He expired instantly. Before any one
could sufficiently recover from the shock
the murderers had made their escape,
and thus far have not been arrested,
though there are several officers in pur-
suit But the most heart7rending scene
was vet to follow. Mr. and Mrs Throck-
morton, the parents of the deceased,
who we're Just coming in town, happened
at the scene Of the bloody murder OF
their boy, whom they least expected to
meet at the place, and in that condition
The, scene which transpired here is
much more easily imagined than de-
scribed; the father rushed from his car
riage, followed by his wife, the former
throwing himself on the dead body of
the son and giving vent To such feelings
as a father alone can experience on such
an occasion The mother, at first real
izing the truth of the death Of her be-
loved son, tainted, and coming to-
swooned again, again and again, until
overcome by the excitement of the. mo-
ment, lay senseless in the arms of her
friends, who had come up TO witness the
terrible scene. Now and then q groan
indicating the suppressed agony of her
bosom, and the. tsFrible cries escaping
from that of her husband, pommingling
in dreadful sounds, made the scene most
horrible, and left the bystpnders to real
ize the dreadfulness Of the situation,
The body was conveyed to the residence
of Mr. Fanlds, and was taken TO Louis
vile for interment II is to be hoped
that the perpetrators Of the deed will
yet be apprehended and brought to jus
tice.

attack. or even uforcibly resist assault,
would be a useless hope. He we'll knew
that the, brightness Of the ERE would de-
ter imfnediate assault The only fear
was, that his supply Of material falling
short, this method Of defense would be
exhausted '-D'7e.tD '.' ',A.'"'t wy ~
AT last a bright thought suggested
itself 10 his hunters experiences, and,
knowing that the nature Of wolves was
sometimes appalled, by the scraping. Of a
violin, he drew from his breast his flute,
aud struck upon ID the highest keys in
the loudest notes y af7 aaeio- ~ ai1t'
The effect was as instantaneous as re-
markable. A. rushing sound Of flying
feet sounded accompaniment pt0 the
notes Of the flute, and the rustling Of
leaves in the distance. died away as the
ravenous pack fed 70 the inner recesses
of the forest. The hunter slept no more
that night, but vigilantly stood guard
until the patrol of the moon had passed,
and the CLEAN of day assured him Of
present safety. 81 shiomfi ty9Ap siaie b.
Since then he never ventured to make
a bivouac without companions, even In
the forests bordering on civilization, for
at that period twas not unusual for a
predatory wolf, urged by hunger, TO seek
the border settlements, and bear of the
sheep of the hardy peasants. The wolf
of this section is the size ofa large mas
tiff, Of a grayish yellow color, that in
colder regions becomes white in winter.
Some naturalists claim that the wolf and
jackal are nothing more than wild dogs;
but while there is q general resemblance,
they differ in the details Of their struc-
ture. In their dental construction they
assimilate with the dog, with the excep-
ton that in the wolf some of the teeth
have flat surfaces for crushing their food
--inasmuch as they live on vegetables as
we'll as animal substances. The wolves
that formerly infested Scotland exist no
more, and even in Germany the race is
now nearly extinct. When their pres
ence is ascertained, bdttue is formed
Of the Ieighboring peasantry, who mus
ter with scythes and pike guns, and
every other lassailable weapon; and
these rapacious beasts, ferocious when
attacking the idefenseless are readily
slain by the united force of man.
The wolf, when taken young, may be
domesticated aud readily bred with dogs,
and their progeny are esteemed as valu-
able shepherds dogs.
{. In the East, as in Europe, they are
found, but ever fleeing from the face of
civilization; they are only sheltered in
the recesses OF the mountainous forests,
or lurk on the borders of arid and un-
populated plains. 4 ~
