members Of the party who entered actively into the
spirit OF the sport were rewarded with the satsfac-
ton OF getting the game they had gone out hunt.
THE RIDE HOME TO CAMP
The afternoon was now well spent, and we had
yet nearly twenty miles to ride back to the borders
OF the Red willow creek. General Sheridan having
come, it was decided that the party should return
leisurey to camp trusting to changes OF finding
game IN the direction OF our homeward course The
Indians had by this time been collected by their
Chief and they joined us just as we starred back.
Small herds were seen in the distance at different
points on either side along the route but too Far OF
for us to chase and shoot An ambulance had been
sent alter us In the morning with refreshments aud
after we had ridden back five miles or so we
found 1t at the point previously Indicated for gen.

champagne detachment was sent 10 get

been secured the cavacade was reformed, and the
whole party galloped over the frozen ground and
through the snow drifts, back TO camp. The sun
had already set, and the darkness was gathering
last when the tents appeared Ia sight. No loaded
firearms have been allowed In camp. so now
the Grand Duke ana Sheridan ana all the
party discharged their weapons IN the air, which
resounded with the reports. Responsive cheers
came to us from the camp, aud we dashed
In in the same order IN which we had
gone out. Sheridan had taken us ride
OF fully 'forty miles," ana every member OF the
imperial party was glad 10 resign his seat IN the
saddle Tor his seat in the spacious dining tent.
THE HUNTERS AT THE TABLE.
Dinner was soon served In the same sumptuous
style anu relished quite as keenly as
on The other days. We had dined In
this imperial hunting camp. The Grand Duke
was highly pleased with the sport, and was
lavish In his expressions OF delight Though he did
not have an opportunity OF seeing these immense

A Plea for Night Air.

But in Heavens name what air, as
Miss Nightingale says, can we breathe
at night except night air :? The choice
lies between pure night air from with
out and foul night air from within
most people prefer the latter, it is
true, but it is night air all the same,
though they may not be aware OF the
fact.
Did you ever test these two kinds
of night air by going early in the
morning into the room of person
brought up to sleep with closed win
dows, and Immediately afterward IN
to one where the sash has been low
cred six inches from the top and raised
six from the bottom? Well, what
did you find In one, however
pretty and well arranged, however
healthy. neat, and well-bred its oe-
cupant, "a smell of bed-elothes, OF
damp towels, of dust, of carpet-all
slight, but all Indicative of that used
up condition of the atmosphere which
is so fatal to sleeper. In the othes,
no better situated or furnished, an
elastic feeling, perfume of freshness
which made breathing pleasant. Was
it not SO
Or did you ever compare your own
sensations after sleeping in fresh air
with those produced after sleeping in
foul How many of the failures, the
mischances of life, the morning dull
ness which hindered this or that, the
refusal of the brain to work at crltl-
cal moment, the apathy, the blindness
of perception, date back to that I'M
aired bedroom which sent us forth
unrefreshed to our work, and ushered
in depressing and discouraged day.
But it is useless to contend with so
deeply rooted a prejudice. Let us go
back to our exiled friend, who GER
tainly has a daytime claim, though
he be denied d nightly one, to our
sufferance.
How few of us recognize, as the long
winter creeps away, and, shrinking
from the outward chill, we cover
into fire-side corners and warm wraps,
how day by day we are insenslbly
contenting ourselves with the same
breathed over air which, scarcely re-
novated since, supplied our lungs
yesterday and the day before. "Open
the windows, indeed" we cry; !" why,
it's all we can do to exist with, them
tightly shut p
Yes, but, paradox as it seems, there
is warmth in the very cold which an
open window would admit. That is,
the oxygen of the purer air, quicken
ing the circulation and bringing the
temperature of head, hands, and feet
into proper balance, viii of itself in
duce glow which helps the fire to
rewarm the room after its airing. And
with the equipose of circulation good
humor comes; and cheerfulness, and
the capacity to be amused. How we
lose these tLings-how dull we grow
stewing over registers, or before an
thracite-burning stoves. The winter
seems to get into us-our wits stitfen
and freeze; we don't laugh or enjoy,
we simply endure life, and with des-
perate longing sit waiting for the
spring Home and Society,"" an Serb
ner's, for March.

1t is astonishing how tenderly the
New Orleans papers treat Mr.. Pinch
back when they proceed on the sup
position that he has gone back on his
party. Were such thing to occur,
rose-water would not be good enough
to sprinkle the Lieutenant Governor.
They can however accord to an oppon-
ent nothing but infamy. Were he to
make toady of himself, or Burch
and acknowledge what the revolu-
tionary class desire, that the colored
race should be in the cock-loft, while
the Aristocratie Reformers should oc-
cupy the dress circle, they would
hurra for Pinehback, just as they now
hurra for Burch, N. o, Louisianian.
