THERE is some probability now that
trains over the e. s. X. X. will com
meace running before very long The
bill that passed the House in the Ohio
Legislature a week ago has been re-
considered, and tho amendment which
was to it when passed by the Senate,
was adopted by the House. This
amendment gives the Trustees the
power to lease rolling stock and oper-
ate the road, at least long enough to
ascertain the probable cost or profit of
running il. We learn from high au.
,hority. that trains will be running
regularly from Cincinnati to Somerset
within two months, but the promise
has been made so often that persons
along the line have decided not to be
fooled again, but will believe it all
when they see the cars.

Footprints of the Past,

The number of ancient leather boots
and shoes discovered during eXcava-
tons in the City of London and its
vicinity is far larger than most people
imagine. Some few years ago hundreds
of leather sOles and uppers of the thir-
teenth and fourteenth centuries were
disinterred in the neighborhood of
Blackfriars Bridge, and are now in pos
session of Northamptonshire dealer in
c~uriosities, who purchased the same at
the sale of the collection formed by the
late DR.. Roach Smith, the London anti
quarry. Very recently other relics of a
later period have been brought to light.
These consist of a huge pair of cavalry
boots, which are made of the thickest
of h%orsehide, stand thirty inches high
and weigh ten pounds each. The soles,
which are an inch in thickness, are, as
well as the heels, covered with thick
iron plates, Huge roweled spurs rest
ing on lodges projecting from the back
of the boots are attached thereto by
heavy steel chains, while as a protection
to the thigh, a dome-shaped cap of a
double thickness Of hide extends half
way up that member. The boots were
discovered during the demolition OF
some old houses in Clerkenwcll, and as
both Cromwell himself, his son Richard,
Ireton and Fairfax at n time resided
in Clerkenwell Close, while the hum
bier followers of the great Protector
also dwelt in large numbers in the
vicinity, it may with fairness be as
sumed that they, at some time or other,
were the property of one of the "Iron-
sides" The boots are in a most excel
lent state of preservation, 1t is much
to be regretted that we have no trade
in which such articles could
be permanently placed, If the city
companies could assist in forming a
collection similar to that at the Hotel
de Cluny in Paris, ii would be a source
of much interest and information

The first chair seats were wooden;
the second were also wood, buS with a
cushion on top; the third, which only
came into use about q century ago,
were of cane, which custom Cowper in
forms us, was introduced into this
country from India. From its great
convenience and economy woven cane
is still very much used, but it should be
only on the seats of bedroom chairs
where their use Is but for a short passing
time, for doctors %denounce zane seats as
injurious TO health when occupied for a
longer period, either in offices or sitting
room. No lady with any regard for the
welfare of a silk or velvet dress will
ever willingly sit upon a chair with a
chair of this material. But in the early
use of woven cane 1t was never left un-
covered. Old couches and chairs hav-
ing cane instead of the modern canvas
bottoms were always covered with a
thick cushion. An early type of chair,
often represented in the Italian pictures,
but which seems never to have been.
very common in England, had a broad
band of stout leather, which stretched
between the black rails, just beneath
the shoulder blades of the sitter, ac-
comodated itself easily to the form,
and was about the best and most COM
Portable support that could be devised.
AS time went on this strap was re-
placed by a padded back of the Crom-
well chair, which was a much less OBJ
~jectionable form Of support than we
have had Ia this century, when, in aim
ing at elegance In our drawing. rooms,
we have martyrized ourselves and our
friends. 1t was not until the reign of
Queen Anne that we had very comfort
able dwelling-houses. From days of
Oliver Cromwell until James the second
had died in exile, and the succession to
the throne was vested in the female
line, people were unable to settle down
into quietness and feel able to lead tran
quill lives. Then, for one hundred
years, chairs, couches, carpets, hang.
ings, and other domestic comforts,
came to be subjects for consideration.
The French nation had been always
better of In this respect than the Eng
lish. They had large houses and hand
some furniture which italy supplies
plentifully. Their revolutionary trou-
bles had not yet commenced, and their
great people were living luxuriously
and carelessly, thinking as little Of the
future as the nobloman who only
shrugged his shoulders at the sugges-
ton of a day Of reckoning, with the
prophetic words-'apres moi lie deluge.'

A Bad Temper.

A person always ready to fight is
certain of the greatest consideration
amongst his or her family circle. The
lazy grow tired of %cOntending with
him the timid Goa and fatter him /;
and as almost every n is timid or
lazy, a bad tempered man is sure TO
have his own way. 1t is he who com
mands, and all others obey. If he is a
gourmand, he has what he likes for
dinner and the tastes of all the rest are
subservient to him. She, 1--WE p~layfully
transfer the gender, as bad temper is of
both seXes) has the place she likes best,
in the drawing-room, nor do her
venture to take her favorite chair. If
she wants to get up a party, mamma
will dress herself in spite of her head
ache; and papa, who hates those dread
full %soirees, will go up stairs and put
on his poor old white neckcloth, though
he has been toiling at chambers all day,
and must be there early in the morn
ing-he will go out with her, we say,
and stay for the cotilion. Ifthe family
are taking their tour in the summer, it
is she who ordains whittier they shall
go, and when they shall stop. If he
comes home late, the dinner is kept for
him, and no n dares to say a word
though ever so hungry. If he is in
good humor, every one frisks about and
is happy. How the servant jumps at
his bell, and runs to wait upon him!
How they sit up patiently, and how
eagerly they rush out to fetch cabs in
the rain! Whereas for you and me,
who have the tempers of angels, and
never were known to be angry or com
plain, nobody cares whether we are
pleased or not. Our wives go the mill
liners and send us the bill, and we pay
for 1t; John finishes reading the
newspaper before he answers our bell,
and brings IL TO us; Il sons Toll In the
armchair which we should like-hll
the house with their young men, and
smoke in the dining-room; Il tailors
At us badly; u butchers give us the
youngest mutton; our tradesmen dun
us more quickly than other people, be-
cause they know we are good-natured;
and our servants go out whenever they
like, and openly have their friends to
supper In the kitchen.
