Mark TWalu's Bucking Horse.

Moncure D. Conway writes from London of one
of Mark Twain's latest stories as follows: 1.-The
talk Of literary London just now is Mark Twains
account in his new lecture, of the bucking'
horse which he purchased in Nevada. II is i'm
possible to put it on paper, as half of the effect
produced by the story depends upon his manner
of telling it. 1t would appear that before
purchasing this steed he had no idea what buck
ing meant, but was too proud to ask for infor-
nation. This, however, he obtained through
the discipline of experience. He mounted the
horse. The animal then gathered its four feet
in bunch beneath it, and by a sudden upward
fling sent him (Twain) into the air-just 100
yards. When the audience smiles at this Mark
looks troubled at their incredulty, but proceeds.
From this ascent he returns, alghts in the sad
die, and the horse gives another fling-Twain
going $50 yards in the air. He then tells his
smiling audience that he judged it was distance
by the look of the-steeples; but confesses he
did not go into details. This ascent being repeat
ed he remembers, while in the air, hearing some
one on earth say, He might have known that
was a buckng horse upon which the fact
flashed upon him. while he was absent the last
time some one cut the horse, which started for
ward, and when he came down it was upon the
ground. He could not say he regretted it. There
was no reason for the horse remaining on his ac-
count Friends gathered around him after this
descent, as they always do when one wants to be
left alone, and asked if he wanted this or wanted
that What he really wanted was to sit down.
He did So He placed one hand on his head,
another on his stomach, and, indeed, thinks that
if he had sixteen hands he could have found
suitable places for their application. But as for
| the horse, he assures his audience that this and
| its other antics-such as walking about on its
hind feet with thumbs under its arms, like a
Lord Mayer-were all natural talent The horse
| had been brought up in the wild West, and had
never had any advantages TO develop these gifts.
| As j have said, the way in which this story is
told is inimitabe, and, indeed, the whole lecture
| is admitted te be one of the most unique pieces
of grotesquerie ever known in these parts

How His COachman Fooled Him.

THE TREASURY CHANGES.

COMMENTS UPON THE APPOINTMENT OF GEN.
DRIsTow
The appointment of Gen. BristOw az Secre
tary Of the Treasury the subject OF general
vaon yesterday in this city, although few able
speak with any degree Of confidence regarding IT, since
Gen. Brstow is little known in NewYork and his views
upon the nuances have not been declared The feeling
was one OF relief that Thoroughly incompetent
for his position as Mr. Richardson had been removed
whoever might take his place. Those who were
acquainted with Gen. Bristow spoke OF him in the
highest terms as man and lawyer, and expressed the
conviction that he would adapt himself to bis new
work, and prove faithful and efficient
