with the ligLtness of an acrobat.
Toppy paws the earth eight times
with the right foot, seven times
with the wrong foot (probably in
recollection of the electoral com
missions vote), whisks her tail in
the air, pricks up her ears, and
then is led back to the Hotel de
Horse, on Twentieth street, by the
admiring Jarvie.
In the evening Mr.. Tilden inva-
riably drives out in company with
members of his family. If the day
be'fne, he usually holds the lines
himself; if stormy, the close car
riage is used, and Jarvie's services
are again brought into requisition.
Day after day, year in and year
out, this is Uncle Sammy's pro-

be happy with this bill of fare,

and suffering hero, bind him with
ropes, chlorolorm him, and let him
through a trap in the stage.
Here it was that Raymond saw a
chance of having some sport all to
himself. On the fourth night he
procured a sponge to substitute for
the regular "prop . article. This
he saturated thoroughly with Lin
burger cheese. When the time
came, Raymond and his compsn-
ion, who had been let into the Sc
cret, instead of feigning to tie
Sheridan's hands, bound him in
earnest, 80 that be could not move
muscle. That task completed,
John drew out his "chloroform
sponge, and, pretending to go on
with the business of the play, be
began to stroke his victims face.
Poor Sheridan was nearly strangled
by the fearful odor, but he could
neither move nor cry out above a
whisper.
"Ugh!" he groaned, so, my
Godl Take it away Pheugh!
For the love Of heaven, John, take
that sinking mess away!"'
But Raymond was as deaf as a
grindstone, and as inexorable as
fate; and, as his victim didn't dare
to make very much noise lest he
should mar the interest Of the
play, he was not bound to hear
him. At last, after wretched in
terval, they let Sheridan down
through the trap. Generally the
cords were so loosely fastened that
he only had to get up and walk
away when he landed under the
stage. But this time it was differ
ent After a while it came his time
to "go on " again. The stage was
waiting for him. "Where is Sher-
idan?" cried the stage manager,
anxiously; but no Sheridan re.
sponded They searched for him
high and low, but he was not to be
found. Atlast somebody suggested
that he might be under the stage
yet. The call-boy went down, and,
sure enough, there he was, with his
face covered half an inch thick
with Limburger cheese. He had
lain there forty minutes, unable to
move a muscle, aud half dead with
the stencil. They tell me he wa,

way, often seeing through and be-
yond them; the other sees fewer
things, but usually looks keenly into
them, and is appreciative of detail.
Some eyes, however, look at every
thing, and yet see nothing. Full
ness of the eyes, causing bulging
of the lower eyelid, is the WELL
known sign of language. Persons
who have this sign large have not
only a speaking eye but a speaking
tongue, whereof their fellows do
not long remain in ignorance. A
general projection or fullness of the
eye above and below, which brings
the eyeball forward on a line with
the face and eyebrow, denotes the
quality of physical perception, or
the capacity to see quickly what
ever appears on the surface of
things. A person with such an
eye, on entering a room for the first
time, would note rapidly the shape,
size, arrangement and general APP
pearauce of the different articles of
furniture in it, the color of the
walls, curtains, etc.; take in, with
equal facility, the features, the
color of eyes and hair, size and ap-
pearance Of any person who might
be present. In looking at a pic
ture such a person would at once
incline to examine the details of
color, number, grouping, attitude
and costume of the figures compo-
sing it.

New York Star. May 21.l
There is nothing more pleasant
to the residents in the neighbor-
hood of Grammercy Park than the
sight of the de functo President,
"Uncle Sammy" as he takes his
usual morning horseback ride.
Mr.. Tilden owns seven horses, and
his stable on Twentieth street, near
Second avenue, is the pink cf per-
fection. Here his coachman resides
with his family in all the splendor
of Centennial "Jarvie." Among
his horses, which are all more or
less noted, the favorites of Uncle
Sammy appear to be "Toppy" and
f" Hero" The former is his favor
ite saddle e-horse, and the latter, one
of pair of old and well-beloyed
coach horses.
In his morning equestrian exer-
cises, which Mr.. Tilden generally
INDUCES in in company with his
coachman, he wears a glossy stove
pipe hat and a black broadcloth
suit. The coat is very low-necked
in the tail, and the wrinkles see
saw up and down the back as the
fiery steed prances off. Generally
at about 10 o'clock Toppy is led up
to the residence, No. Is Grammer-
cy Park, and after Mr.. Tilden has
vaulted into the saddle, he touches
the horse slightly with his little
whalebone whip. Toppy pricks mp
her ears as if she would say, "Well,
if we can't be President, we can at
least be stylish" and starts off on a
brisk trot toward Fourth avenue,
and in ten minutes Tilden is twenty
blocks away. Oh, how the mud
