A Romance of the Derby.

Many a story could be woven from
the Derby; it has, indeed, figured in
hundreds of novels. One of its latest
romances was a very strange me 1t
happened that a great and very wealthy
racing mana certain Mr.. Chaplin, now
a member of the House of Commons
was engaged to n of the most beauti-
full women in England. She was rich
as well as lovely and the daughter of a
peer. The wedding day was rapidly
approaching, and Mr.. Chaplin escorted
her to n of those great fashionable
shops in London which have two en-
frances, n on one street and one on
another. The lady left Mr.. Chaplin at
the door and, rapidly passing through
the shop, passed out at the opposite ex-
it and jumped into the carriage of the
real love of her heart, ran away with
him then and there, married him at
once, and became the Marchioness of
Hastings. From hat hour the discard
ed lover brooded over plots for revenge.
He took into his counsels an ~eX-captain
in the army, and between them, by
tricks too familiar to turfmen, they
planned the ruin of the young Marquis.
With the tricks we are not sufficiently
familiar to know the precise methods
by which their success was achieved,
but achieved it was, and one or two
Derbys after the wedding Hastings was
ruined, and had not Lord Butte, the real
hero, by the way, of Disraeli's "Lo-
THAR" and Guinness, the rich brewer
of Dublin, come to his assistance he
would have been posted as u defaulter
NJ Tattersall's, and compelled to fly the
country. His life, however was soon
ended, his estates are still out to nurse,
and his widow is now married again,
but not to Mr.. Charin.- Cincinnati

Great SnaiX.

The Milford (Pa.) correspondent of
the New York Sun vouches for the
truth of this story: John Quick, Da-
vid Angle, George r. Bosler and Frank
Quick, quarrymen,a few days ago start
ed into the woods in search of n new
stone quarry. On reaching Red Ridge,
six miles north from Milford, they were
suddenly startled by a loud and contin-
uous noise, caused by rattlesnakes. Be-
ing aware that they were in the vicinity
of a den Of these reptiles, but not know
ing the exact locality, they concluded to
follow the sound, and il possible find
the den. After walking through the
thicket for a few rods, they found
themselves on the verge of a huge mass
of loose shell rock, at the extreme north
end of which thoy discovered a black
moving mass of r~attlesnakes basking in
the sunshine. A stone dropped
among them by one of the
party caused them to rattle
fercely, and the buzz that followed was
almost d~eafening. Each quarryman
then procured a long, heavy stick, and,
approaching cautiously to within reach
ing distance, began the battle. The
rock upon which the reptiles lay was
surrounded, and rapid blows were
brought to bear apon them. John
Quick, a tall, powerful man, by bring
ing his huge club to bear across the top
Of the rock, killed 10 of the snakes at
one blow. The combat continued for
nearly half an hour, when the snakes
that were not killed managed to escape
by crawling into the surrounding rocks.
The party counted nearly 800 dead rep.
tiles, some of them measuring nearly Q
feet in length and having from Is to 20
rattles. This den is within six miles OF
the famous Ball Hill den, in Sho.
hola Township, where thousands have
! been killed during the past ten years

Feline

A gentleman of this city related to us
a day OF two since the following cir
cumstance. He stated that day last
week while he was walking in his gar
den, ear a pole on (which he had placed
a box for the accommodation of the
black martins during their annual visits,
he observed thatthey were flying around
in rather a strange and confused man.
ner, frequently fluttering down almost
to the ground, then rising again and
circling about the box. Stopping a few
moments to watch them, he observed,
sitting among some raspberry vines, a
house cat, intently cycling the birds,
and making that peculiar motion with
its tail which it always does when
watching for its prey. The martins be-
came more and noisy with their
gatherings, and more rapid in their
gyrations around the spot where puss
had seated herself, frequently almost
flying within her reach. Finally one
alighted on the ground a foot or two
from her; with a sudden spring she
seized it and made off to eat it with her
leisure. The gentleman is satisfied that
the bird was charmed, and that his cat
had a martin for her breakfast every
morning. We suggested to him to have
her closely watched to see II she could
keep up her diet On martins as well as
Thornton did on quails. -Evaula Netos.

Stewards Millions.

1t seems hat with all the vast inter-
ests at stake, and the lawyers employed
in the matter, the will of the late A. T.
Stewart was at last improperly admit
ted to probate. The statutes of New
York require that notice shall be pub
lishel, citing all parties in interest next
Of kin, etc., to appear at a day named,
and attend at the probating of the will,
which, of course, is that they may have
opportunity to make contest of its val
idity. The next of kin are to be named
in the notice, If their names can be as
certained. But it appears that in the
Stewart will case, upon the eg parte
affidavit of Mrs. Stewart that she was
the sole heir, as he left no relatives, the
Surrogate dispensed, or attempted to
dispense, which vas manifestly illegal,
with the publication of the notice re-
quired, and, three days after Stewards
death, admitted the will to probate.
The omission to publish the proper no.
tice will doubtless of itself be held suf1i-
cient to invalidate the probate, so that
