Some One is Prevarseating.

The Tichborne trial is still before the
public, and in all probability it will
remain before the public for some
time to come. The only thing
that will prevent its extension into
the next generation, is the lamentable
fact, that in all probability the life of
''The Claimant" will have cast off its
earthly shackles, and have flown to
the regions beyond the skies ere that
period. In case of the happening of the
latter event, our friends. who come after
us will be deprived of the felicitous
of infelicitous privilege of existing SIM
ultaneously with one of the greatest
sensational transactions of the age.
Some times we think that this claimant
is too good for this mundane sphere,
and in our anguish over his troubles and
perplexities we are forced to wish that
he could be transported at once, without
any further attempt to prove his iden-
tity, to the ethereal regions above where
his sensitive soul would be no longer
troubled with worldly affairs; and then
again our curiosity leads us to hope that
he will put this trial through and not be
obliged to postpone it from lack of
funds, in order that the great question
may be decided as to whether he is
or is not, what he. apparently is.
We should think, by this time, he would
be so mixed up in his own mind, that
there would be dissatisfaction existing
within himself as to his own personal
identity, causing him to exclaim in the
words of the old patriarch: cam |, or
am / not, am I,-If am not am |, who
the deuce am II" However, we hope
that-we can't call him Orion, because
of recent developments-we hope that
"The Claimant" will get his rights or re-
ceive his deserts at the earliest possible
moment.
Recent reports inform us that new
complication has arisen in the insermin-
able case of the Tichborne Claimant. For
another person has just arrived in Lon
don who claims that he is the real. ORR
enal Arthur Orion. The prosecutors
of the Tichbore Claimant have rested the |
main force of their case upon the proof |
that the Claimsnt is the only Arthur Or
ton, and have brought upwards of thirty
witnesses from Wrapping, including

Upon the accession of Victoria to the
British throne, one custom which, among
others, she introduced among the young
ladies of England was that of riding on
horseback. Victoria, herself, has al
ways been passionately fond of the eS-
ercise, and has frequently appeared in
the park, attended by dashing c0Ttege
of the most elegant ladies of her court.
The Queen, in her younger days, was
called q capital equestrian, though she
was bold rather than graoefulin the sad
die. Be that as it may, she has always
been greatly attached to the exercise J;
and her royal example in her younger
days has inspired all the fair danes of
''merry England with the same passion.
ANY person who has ever visited Hyde
Park, in London, viii instantly recog-
nize the truth of this assertion, when he
remembers what vast concourse of fe-
male equestrians continually passed and
repassed before his view, as they can
tered around the park.
We half wish we had a Queen Vic
toria over our bonny land for a season,
if it were only to introduce this self
same custom of riding on horseback
among our republican young ladies. We
have wondered not little why it has
been that American ladies, with their
peculiar habits and education, have
seemed so averse to an exercise which
has always been regarded with such
general favor in England, and upon the
continent of Europe. There the art of
riding is an accomplishment deemed
hardly less essential to lady than that
of dancing, and it is surely quite as
graceful and far more healthful Sir
Walter SCOTS opinion upon this subject
IS we'll known; upon many external &C
accomplishments he set little VaiHe; but
like the ncient Persians, next &c a love
of truth, he held love of horsemanship
for the prime point in education.
As soon as his daughters could
sit in the saddle, they were made
companions of his mountain rides
A hard rider was Sir Walter; but he
taught them to think nothingof tumbles,
and habit uated them to his own reckless
delight III perilous fords and flooded
streams, 8 that they imbibed in great
perfection his passion for horses. He
considered riding the most graceful and
healthful exercise they could use. There
is, indeed, no more graceful object than
a female t igure upon fine horse, and

Late Markets.
CHEESE.

CHEESE.
At Utica, on Monday, the market was
quite active, with an advance of ia
&c. The offerings footed about 1000
boxes, and sales reached 1000. The
range of prices was 12@144c. We heard
of only one lot at the lower figure, sew
eral at 1910, and more at 1899, but the
ruling figure for fine was 14c-only a
few fancies going above. In consequence
of the light receipts, the stock in New
York is cleared out, and the supply of
American cheese in England is COM
paratively small.
The Producers Price Current says /:
s'Prices of State factory have been
somewhat irregular The fine late An
gust and September made cheesc AVE
been eagerly bought, and have adya 1ced
to f4c.; in fact few lots bought by or
der have cost the shippers even shade
above that rate. Early August cheese
have sold at 13@134c., and July stock
has been hard to move above 12@121c.'
On Monday, at Richmond, about 400
boxes of cheese were received and sold
for II to 12c for plain, and 12t to 13c
for sage. Also 400 boxes were received
for consignment. ~.
BUTTER.
At Utica, there was an advance in the
finer grades and in Walsh tubs, which
are worth in New York 34@36c. Fancy
sells readily at 3S@40c., and fine State
dairy, including half tubs, goes at $40
SOC. The Commercial Repisss of Satur-
day says A repetition of the reports
and quotations of the past few days will
still apply to the butter market The
trade have confidence of current prices
being maintained, but make no transac-
tions of importance for the future. The
prevailing sentiment seems to be that
prices are as high as can be maintained,
and carry the crop into consumption.
The increased demand for pail butter
causes receipts to move readily at quota
tions.
At.St Adams on Tuesday the market
was fairly active, at the following quo
tations: Common to fair. 20 to &c.
medium to good, % to 30c., for fall
made, approved farm diaries; choice, 81
to 35c.; a few lots selected, 38c.
At Richmond, Monday, there was of
fered and sold about $50 tubs of butter,
bringing for gilt edge, 80 to 81, choice
30 to 33, and summer diaries 25 to 80.

CivrL. service reform, according to the

whole, makes steady advance" This
advance is. doubtless slow, as all move
ments OF such character must neces-
sarily be, especially when eontempIat-
ing changes 50 radical and of such vast
import as lie in the full development Of
this scheme for reforming the civil ser
vice. OF course it. encounters the sneers,
intrigues, and abuse of political. huek-
sters, the more honest opposition of Q
class of leading Office holders who intqi-
lively oppose anything likely to inter
fere with their prerogatiges, as well az
the more serious annoyance of the in
discreet action of over jealous friends
who hold themselves ever ready to de-
clare the whole thing a humbug and a
deception every time action is taken
which does not accord With their own
extreme ideas. And herein is one of
the most serious obstacles to its success,
Its too sanguine supporters seem not to
understand that there may be many
cases where an application of the rules,
at least, in their present incipiencyis inn
practicable. They would apply them
everywhere and underal circumstances,
forgetting that exceptions only prove
the rule. We do not hesitate to ex-
press the opinion that even after earnest
labor and a ripe experience have brought
the system much nearer perfection than
it now is, its rules will not in all cases
properly apply. Still we regard it, on
the whole, as a reform capable of achiey-
ing much good, and if we credit the
statement of Mr.. Eaton, that it ':has the
firm support of the President, the Cabi-
net, and the higher sentiment of the ma
tion," which we have no reason to doubt,
we can hardly avoid the conclusion that
the cry of civil service reform. is slowly.
but surely becoming a reality. =. +
