Such q test as that Of Yesterday
Of driving Gin troika" NAV not be very
fair one. but such as it was it left the
impression among American horsemen
that the runners were drawbacks rather
than an aid to the trotter.
In grooming and caring for their
horses the Russians seem to be much
less particular than any other horse
loving people. For instance, when
one Of the stations came or the course

he was walked slowly up and down the
lane in front Of the stable for two or
three minutes to cool o6, and was then
led into his stall. There be stood for
half an hour or more. without q blaket
or sheet, until the frolh dried upon
his TANKS. No groom rubbed him
down, or scraped him. and the little
walk Was all the attention he received.
Had an American trotter undergone
the same treatment he would have
been booked for Q coal-cart or the

One Of the stations, Lebed, became

New must in an old cellar is as treacher.
Gus as new wine in an old bottle. Three
weeks ago two travellers, who were break
fasting in an inn at Little Courcelles, near
Paris, called for a bottle of wine, and the
lnnkeeper sent u servant into the cellar to
fetch It, After waiting long time for the
girl to return the housekeeper went down
stairs to find out what was the matter.
She likewise failed to return with the wine.
and as the travellers were now impatient
the innkeeper himself made the descent
into the cellar-but was not seen again.
One of the travellers rose from the break.

to ascertain what had happened, and his
companion waited in vain for his reappear-

tavern, and he was too wise to vanish from

lie ran into the street and called in the
neighbors. One of these, a physician.
ventured as far as the door of the cellar.
and pushed it open so as to give egress to
the noxious gases imprisoned there. After
the cellar had been partially ventilated the
neighbors found on the floor the bodies of
the four persons who had disappeared so
mysteriously. Three of them were restored
to consciousness, but the girl, who had led
the way, died. On the previous evening the
innkeeper had left vat of must in the
cellar, and the carhonic acid gas emitted
from the fermenting liquid had poisoned

Stiles T. Hatchings, of Columbia, S. c.,
colOred, made application to the Supreme
Court of Georgia for admission to practice
last week. He presented a certificate of
admission to the bar of South Carolina, a
certificate of the Chief Justice of that State,
that he was a practicing lawyer in good
standing, and commission from Governor
Hampton, appointed him a trial Justice
The court told him it would admit him on
the papers as lawyer from South Carolina,
but he stated he desired to reside here; the
court said the admission to the Supreme
Court of Georgia entitled him to no privi-
leges in the courts below, and advised him
to apply to the Superior Court.

JOY-BRINGERs.-Som men move through
life as a band of music moves down the
street, flinging out pleasure on every side
through the air to every one, far and near,
that can listen. Some men fill the air with
their presence and sweetness. as orchards
in October days fill the air with perfume of
ripe fruit. Some women cling to their own
houses, like the honeysuckle over the door,
yet, like it, sweeten all the region with the
subtle fragrance of their goodness. There
are trees of righteousness, which are ever
dropping precious fruit around them.
There are lives that shine like star beams,
or charm the heart like songs upon holy
day.

An English traveller, who is giving his
first impression of the United States in a
series of letters to the Manchester Courier.
says that it is a mistake to suppose that
Americans are loquacous and inquiSitive
They do not kick their heels at a railway
station they often go through a meal
without word; buzz of conversation is
seldom heard; their silence is really op.
pressive; they are the quietest and most
orderly people on the face of the earth.
For instance, the traveller entered large
shaving establishment in Boston, where
there were a dozen BARRIERS, and several
customers waiting for their turn. When a
chair became vacant the foreman pointed
to the man whose turn came next, but not
word was said. After being there some
time the Englishman looked at the clock
to see how long they would go on without
speaking, and for nine minutes the only
sounds were a sneeze and an irquiry,
How much ?" He fancies that he has
discovered the origin of this quiet, patient
order of behavior. 1t is the discipline of
the public schools which produces such
marvellous results. When the pupils 90
from one room to another, they march to
the sound Of the piano, and the slightest
tendency to disorder, if it arise, is corrected
not by words, but by signs. "From five
years old till fifteen to seventeen every
American is subjected to this constant
drilling. The schoolmaster is the drill
sergeant, and his operations are universal" +"
The critic had been here three weeks when
he formulated this theory and discovered
the Silent Hand

IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.-The other day
when New Yorker took a coat around to

aside, and then said

" Fife tollarl Shust wait till gall nv

lie finally got the coat for two dollars.
Passing the same store in the evening, and
seeing his coat hanging at the door, the
man halted and asked:
" How much for this old coat?

ADAMS, THE ACTOR, died in Philadelphia
last week, and what is singular died poor,
after making his $4,000 per year on the
stage. Says a correspondent: Poor Ned
Adams is dead an buried. Why do we
always say poor in speaking of the dead ?
1t certainly is not because we who are left
are so much better off; he who has gone to
the better land is the better off, yet we
insist on. so to speak, patronizing him in
this way. Neither is there much reason in
the excessive sympathy given such case
as that of Adams. He was man who had
made during the last ten years more money
than the average of patient, suffering men
in middle life make in their whole careers.
He has made as much as $4,000 II year :
the average of his best ten years was $40.
900 year, and that Of the last twenty
years was at least 500 a week, or $1,000 a
year. He should have been in possession
OF handsome competence, instead of being
forced to appeal to charity. Adams was a
good specimen of the romantic, picturesque
actor. lie was not a man of high intelli.
gencc, but he had the dramatic impulse 4:
he knew how to do the right thing on the
stage without knowing why it was right :;
he was moved to do that thing, and his in
stlnct did not deceive him: in other
words he was born actOr,-not one of the
finest type, but genuine comedian
mercurial, emotional, graceful, ardent and
helped by nature with fine manly proper
tiOns, and a powerful melodious voice. He
was one of the most versatile of American
actors. At the Walnut Street Theatre,
before he turned star, it was the practice of
Mrs. Garrettson to make him a leading at
traction, and many week Of good business
did her stock actor assure her, as good as
almost any star in the country could have
drawn. In these seasons Adams PLAYED
everything,-he would 90 on in farce after
performing a leading tragic part IL have
seen him do Richelieu'' and =" Robert
Macaire' on the same evening. He grew
to be an enormous iavorte at the Walnut,
and finally took to starring as a matter of
course. }. S. Clarke had precisely similar
experience at the Arch Street Theatre at
the same time. But how much more
prudent Clarke has been since
