Extraordinary sagaeILT Of A Mare.

One Of the most remarkable instan-
ces Of equine sagacity Is reported from
Whitby England. A gentleman
named Keene has been for some time
a resident near Nation, and from Mr..
Rutter Of Hessie Farm he brought a
hunting mare, which on leaving NAL
ton he recently took with him to
Whitby. On Wednesday the mare
was missing from the field, and q
search was instituted to no purpose.
On Thursday the search was renewed,
Mr.. Keene and his groom going
about ten miles on the Guisborough
MOors, then TO Leights, where they
heard the mare had crossed the rail-
road the previous morning. At this
point the trail was easy. The mare
had taken the high road hOmewards,
and at Saltergate six men tried to
stop her, without avail. At Picker
ing she jumped load of sticks and
the railroad gates, and thus found
herself in her old hunting country,
making scrOss Ryedale for home"
In so doing she would have to cross
two rivers and a railway. Mr.. Keene
found her at home on Thursday night
with one shoe thrown and rather
lame, but otherwise none the worse
from her eross-eountry gallop Of near
sixty miles, done in one day for her
previous owner found her on Wednes-
day night standing at the gate Of the
field where she had grazed for two

EngraYing.

'Line" engraving is Of the highest
order. All great engravings are done
in "lineN-simply straight lines
Next comes cline" and "stipple."
"Stipple" means dOts-small dots like
this These small
dots are used to tighten up the high
parts Of the face or drapery. 1t is
very hard to engraye a face IN lines,
simply, and only master engravers
ever undertake II. The masters un-
deIstand and practice both ''line" and
''stipple." Claude Mellan engraved,
in 100, a full head Of Christ with
one unbroken line. This line COM
meneed at the apex Of the nose and
wound out and out like a watch
spring, until il ended in the border Of
the picture. Mezzotint engraYings are
produced thus: The steel or copper Is
made rough like fine sand paper. To
produce soft effect this rough surface
Is seraped of. If you want q white
place or "high light" in your engrav-
ing, soFape the surface smooth then
the ink will not touch Il. II you want
a faint color, scrape of a little. Such
engrayings look like lithOgraphs.-
Etching is adapted to homely and IA
miIiar sketches. Almost all the great
painters were etehers. Etching is
done thus The copper or steel plate
is heated and covered with black var
nish. The engraver then scratches of
this varnish with sharp needles, work
ing on the surface OF he would on pan
er with a pencil. Nitric acid Is then
poured over the plate, and it eats
away at the steel or copper wherever
the needle has scraped of the varnish.
When the varnish is removed with
spirits Of turpentine, the engraving Is
seen in sunken lines on the plate.

Facts for Free Traders.

AT a meeting of the Wool Growers
Association of Vermont at Burlington
some days ago, a series Of resolutions
on the tariff was unanimously adopt
ed, of which. the following are speei-
mems:
ReSOlred, That the repeal of the
duty on wool and wOOlens would re-
suit in ruin to and industry which
lies al. the bottom OfOur national pros
perity.
Resolred, That the Senators and
Representatives from VermOnt'are re-
quested to present these resolutions to
Congress, and use their, influence
against any change in thei principle
upon which the present tariffs found
ed.
A few days afterwards; at the meet
ing Of the Wool Growers and Manu-
facturers' National Convention, in
Syracuse, New York, at which two
hundred and fifty delegates were pres
ent, representing capital employed
of over 500, ,OO0, ,OO0, q very large pro-
portion being from the West, the fol-
lowing resolution offered by John S.
AIayes, of Boston, was adopted unani-
mOusly:
HThat we witness with special graf
incatiOn the'fact that each succeeding
year vindicates more fully the necessi-
ty and wisdOm.of the present tariff,
which has wrought so great benefit,
especially in the West by bringing
manufacturers and farmers into closer
connection, thereby enhancing the
purchasing power Of wool, while
0heapening and improving the fabrics
of most utility to the Masses"
The only movement for a repeal of
the present tariff on wool and wooden
goods, comes from jObbers and few
Eastern manufacturers, in opposition
to whom these. resolutions array the
great farming community of the
country and the vast army of produc-
ers and consumers in the workshops.
Yet Free Traders talk of their oppOs-
ing mOnopOlies.-BeGeOn.

BOstOn's Big Jubilee.

Boston is already getting ready for
the construction of her mammoth
building for the Worlds Jubilee of
next summer. The ground plan Of
the building will be a parallelOgram
S224 feet in length, by 1921 feet in
width, measuring 347, 500 feet square
in area, or a trifle less than eight
acres, being 800 feet longer and 122
feet wider than the Coliseum Of 1869,
and containing more than double the
area of that immense structure.
Throughout the space, not O single
post, pillar, or support Of any kind
will obstruct the view from end to
end. The four principal entrances in
the centres of the sides and ends will
be inscribed with the names of the
four great continents, and be apprO-
priately decorated with flags, national
emblems, etc. Above each will rise an
elegant pavilion 40 feet high, while
similar pavilions, Of less hight, will be
built at each of the four corners Of the
structure, giving beauty and symme-
try to the whole. Besides the four
main or principal entrances named,
there will be on each side four, and on
GeACA ELAtA LhO1 L4ALAOA CANA aAASCH eARPAD
priately decorated. Each Of these
will be surmounted by tower sixty
eight feet in height. A "monetoy," T"
sixteen feet high, will run the entire
length Of the roof, affoading ample
ventilation. At each end will rise q
splendid tower 216 feet high, while
the central tower will reach the enor-
NOUS height of 240 feet, from the sum-
NIT of which will float the banner of
universal peace above the standards
of all the nations of the earth. The
seating capacity of the building will
be about as follows, the figures given
being rather below the numbers that
could actually be accommodated:
Audience, 5000; chorus, 10000; or
chestra, 1000; giving a total Of over
100000 persons gathered under one
roof.

The Heathen Chlnee.

The Virginia, Nevada, Enterprise is
responsible for the following:
a day or two since a couple of Ia
dies, who were out collecting money
for church purposes, stopped at the
Piute House, Lower Gold Hill. At
ter calling upon a number of persons
for contributions, they asked John,
the Chinese cook to give 4 dollar.
"What for you wantee me give =

"We want you to give us a dollar to

The KIng,s Mistake.

Anumber of politicians, all of whom
were seeking Office under the govern
ment, were seated under a tavern
porch, when an old topper named Joel
D., person who was very lOquaciOus
when eOrned, but exactly the OppO-
site when sober, said that he would
tell them story. They told him to
''fre away" whereupOn he spoke as
follows: "a certain King-I don't
reeollect his name-had a philosopher
upon whose Judgment he always de-
pended. Now it happened one day
that the king took it into his head TO
90 hunting, and summoned his no
bles, and making the necessary prep
aratiOns, he summoned the philOsO-
pher and asked him II it would rain.
The philosopher told him it would
not, and they started. While jour-
neying along, they met a country
man mounted on a jaekass.
"He advised them to return, for,
said he, lit will surely rain.' They
smiled contemptuously upon him and
then passed on. Before they had
gone many miles, however, they had
reason TO regret not having taken the
rustic's advice, as q shower coming up
drenched them to the skin. When
they had returned 10 the palace, he
reprimanded the philosopher severe
ly.
"I met a eOuntryman,' said he,
and he knows a great deal more than
you. He told me it would rain,
whereas you told me it would not
The king then gave him his walking
papers and sent for the eOuntryman,
who soon made his appearance.
Tell me- said the king, how you
knew it would rain.' 4 didn't know
said the rustic; my jaekass told me
so.' And how, pray, did he tell you%
asked the king. 'By pricklng up his
ears, your Majesty said the rustic.
''The king sent the rustic away, and
procuring the jaekass Of him, he
placed him-the jaekass-in the Office
the philosopher filed.
"And here" observed Joel, looking
very wise, sis where the king made a
great mistake" How sO2" inquired
the auditors. "Why, ever since that
time" said Joel, with a grin on his
phiz, "every jackass wants office"

Tweed's trick in suggesting to Hall
to retire from the Alayoralty for a
week at time, instead of resigning
outright, is thus explained by the
New York Post: 'If.HaIl should re-
sign, his appointing power would 20
Comptroller Green, and all the other
powers and duties of the MayOraltv
would devOlve on General COchrane.
So long as he retains Office nominaIIy,
only absenting himself from it "a week
at time, he retains his appointing
power, and even the President Of the
Aldermen, acting as Mayor, is forbid
den TO sign any ordinance or resOlu-
ton Of the Common Council, unless
the sickness, disability or absence of
the Mayor shall have continued at
least ten days. In other words, Mr..
Halls plan is to keep the appointing
power and the veto power out Of the
hands OF the reformers, so no new
city officers may be appointed and no
city legislation adopted against his
will. A very nice dodge, but one that
can't answer very long. It is a
mere expedient, and will have to be
abandoned in less than thirty days.

Irish Girls.

According to the London Daily TEL
eqrGph, Irish women are the best nee
die women in the world. This Is a
high eneomium. May fair fingers
never grow weary stitching for the
editor of the Telegraph! As TO shirt
buttons, may they never trouble him,
Here is the cream of his compliment
''It was on occasion Of delivering
certain prizes to his eOttagers, that
Mr.. Disraeli so deftly handled the sub
jeet Of neediewOrk, and he ornament
ed the topic accordingly. He pointed
out that in the international EXhibi-
ton Of the present year, there were
specimens of plain Sewing from every
part of the world, and that the prizes
we're all awarded to Great Britain, the
Judges being of the opinion that our
needle handiwOrk was superior to that
Of any other country in the world.
On examining the nationality OF the
prizeholders, however, it was d1scov-
cred that the successful candidates
we're all IrishwOmen. Whence, ask
ed Mr.. Disraeli, arose this exceptional
proficiency IN needle work? He was
perfectly ready to do full justice to the
abilities and talents of Irish women,
but he could not understand why all
the prizes in the establishment should
fall to them. He had, it is true, dis
covered that the Irish Government
had recognized plain sewing as a
branch Of education, but that the i'm
pOrtanee Of training in the use Of the
needle was not admitted in England.
Every Irish girl attending school is
taught to sew, and the result is that
considerable comfort is diffused
through the households Of which they
are members.
