tion among sailors, forty years ago, that
all the sea-oiter skins went to China be-
cause no other people could handle fur
80 fine. Now, however, il Is fashionable
fur in Europe and America, and It's imita-
tions are even more fashionable. Other
otter skins are also highly prized.
Nutria fur Is obtained from South
American animal, resembling the beaver,
II is largely used ia Europe for making
hats. The Inuskrats, Of which millions are
taken yearly, besides appearing under their
legitimate name, figure IN the market as
Alaska mink, seal and similar fus. The
chinchilla, FIRST cousin to the rabbit and
the squirrel, furnishes fayorite and COM
mon trimming, with It's limitations. The
foxes Of the northern part of this continent
furnish skins which are very much esteem
ed in Europe The skin of the silver fox
Of Labrador has been sold in London for
$500.
All fur-bearing animals are valuable for
something, and, as rule, fashion rejects
what may be the product Of country, and
prefers the far-fetched and dear bought.
The ingenuity Of manufacturers is largely
substituting textile fabrics for animals
skins, and, except for tine fancy and the
name, the woven article answers every pur-
pose. The Chinese are said TO dye skins
50 successfully that they retain the gloss
and keep their color. Such limitations
are nearly as good as the genuine.

REMARKABLE RECOVERY ORA SroLEs
HoRsE.-Some six months ago horse
was stolen from DR.. Keller's Iot, in 4 town

reward Of $50 was offered. Circulars civ.

Marshal McMurtay, at Lexington, as also
to other places; but nothing was head Of
the horse until the last court day. Hear
ing gentleman rddress DR.. Keller by
name, negro man approached and said :
" Doctor, | have fine saddle horse
would like to sell, just such a horse as
doctor ought to have, and want you TO
look at him." Dr. Keller complied with
the request, when 10 he discovered that
It was the identical animal that had been
stolen from his premises The negro told
very straight story about how he came
in possession Of the horse the doctor took
the animal, and the Sheriff went to Lex
ington TO arrest the negro man from whom
the other negro who trisd to sell him TO
DR.. Keller bought the horse. The strang-
est part Of the affair Is that out Of the large
crowd assembled on the public piazza the
negro should have picked upon the man
from whose premises the horse was stolen,
the doctor and the negro being entire
strangers and had never previously seen
each other.

CHRISTMAS HYMN.

II was the calm and silent night.
Seven hundred years and filty-three
Had Rome been growing up to might,
And now was queen Of land and sea.
No sound was heard of clashing wars,
Peace brooded oier the hushed domain
Apollo, Palas, Jove and Mars
Held undisturbed their ancient reign,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago.
Twas in the calm and silent night.
The senator OF naughty Rome
Impatient urged his chariots fight,
From lordly revel rolling home:
Triumphal arches cleaning swell
His breast with thoughts of boundless sway;
What rocked the Roman what befell
A paltry province far away,
IT. the solemn midnight,
Centuries ago?
Within the province far away
Went plodding home a weary boor;
A streak Of light before him lay,
Fallen through halfshut stable door
Across his path. He passed, for naught
Told what was going on within;
How keen the stars his only thought
The air, how calm, and cold, and thin,
In the solemn midnight,
Centuries agoi
On, strange Indifference Low and high
Drowsed over common joys and cares;
The earth was still, but knew not why,
The world was listening, unawares.
How calm moment may proceed
One that shall thrill the world for ever
To that still moment none would heed
Mans doom was linked no more to sever,
In the solemn midnight,
