A TOLEDO LAWYERS ADVENTURE
A prominent and dignifed attorney
who lives on a certain avenue a short
distance from Adams street, while eat
ing his breakfast a few mornings since,
saw COW pass in front of the house
which very much resembled the animal
that supplied the milk for his own ia
BILE. He thought it was his COW, and
as old briDdle has habit of forgetting
to come home when she escapes to the
green pastures which surround the city,
the attorney left his half-fnished break
fast and without hat and in slippers
gave chase to the animal. 1t was a
close race between the dignified attor-
ney and the old COW, and it is hard to
tell which retained the most dignity
She made good time and so did the. at
torney. AT last, however, after hot
chase of three blocks he caught her and
led her back in triumph to the barn.
What was his disgust to discover there
his own COW quietly feeding from the
trough. He returned to the house, and
when the small boy, with twinkle in
his eye, asked if he ''caughted her," he
was savagely ordered to go and get his
fathers boots and not ask questions

Ash walked from bis home to the
church that night l seemed to have
caught something of the intensity of his

"Increase our faith, o God, that the

The Devils Mill Hopper. ,

There is a wonderful freak of nature
about six miles northwest of Gaines
vile, which is commonly known as the
"Devil's Mill Hopper" Whence it de-
rives it's name we are unable to ascer-
tain, but presume it must have been
suggested by the superstitious belief of
many colored people that his Satanic
Majesty resides in its fathomless depths
and from the shape of the sink-being
of the shape of mill hopper. This Gu
riosity is large sink in the earth, COW
ering an area of perhaps four acres
around the top, which gradually be-
comes smaller in circumference as you
descend-being one hundred and fifty
feet below the earth's surface. Having
effected the descent of the steep walls
of rock, body of water is approached
which is perhaps five hundred feet in
circumference, probably less in dry
weather. Into this sheet of water is a
continual flow of ten to twelve good
sized streams, from the crevices of the
rock wall surrounding. Around this
wall is a large growth of the various
kinds of trees grown in FlOrida-oak,
ash, hickory, bay, and also thick under
growth of ferns and mosses.-Gaines-

HIGH HEELED SHoEs.-I once saw a
Young man who was hOpelessly lame
from the effects of wearing tight boots.
He said 81 would wear tight boots; a
tumor came upon my foot, had the
best medical attention, but it proved to
be incurable. At length to save my
life, when modification showed itself
my physician said the foot must be
amputated above the heel. Think of
my sorrow at the very thought of losing
my foot, but had to submit, and now
l am what you see me, poor cripple
all from pride" A few words must be
added upon the injurious effects of high
heeled shoes. The remarks am about
to make deserve to be seriously con-
sidered. The present fashion is to have
the heel of the boot not only high, but
narrow and inclined forward, so that
the distance between the heel and point
of the foot appears to be smaller than
it really is. The effect of this is to re-
move the weight of the body from its
natural support, the toes instead of the
heel first touch the ground, hence often
acute pain in the sole of the foot, and
injuries to the anterior joints. Grave
constitutional troubles are not uDfre-
quently the result of persistence in this
ridiculous fashion. A word to the wise
is sufficient.

A Hambletonian Stallion
w DUKE ALEXIS.

The undersigned has at his stable in Danville,
VT, HambletOnian Stallion, known as DUKE
ALEXIS. This horse is years old next August
bay color, 15a hands high, and weighs 1125 pounds
PEDIsREE.-Duke Alexis was sired by Iron
Duke. He was brown horse foaled in 1860 and
was got by Rysdyk's Hambletonian. Dam by
Millers Sir Henry; g. dam by Young Red Jacket ;
Q. g dam by Red Bird.
Miilers Sir Henry by Coles Sir Henry. by Sir
Henry Duroc; son of Sir Henry by Sir Archy.
Young Red Jacket by old Red Jacket by Duroc.
son of imported Diomeed, sire of American Eclipse,
Red Bird by Bishops Hambletonian, son of i'm.
ported Messenger; Bred by John Peck, Esq, of
Haverstraw, Rockland County, New York.
The dam of Duke Alexis was sired by Kings
Champion; he by Grinnells Champions he by
Almack he by MembrinO; he7by imported Mes
senger.
Kings Champion is the sire of the celebrated
Album horse who trOtted in 21s; also Geo. b.
Daniels who trotted in 224 and other fast ones.
DUKE ALEXIS is expected to remain at my
stable during the season of 1879, and will be kept
for limited number of mares. Persons interested
are requested to call and examine the horse. From
his size, color and general appearance, he would
appear TO be very desirable as a stock horse, and
with the strong pedigree which he has, it is more
than probable that the larger part of his colts will
prove fast trotters. And the colts he has, warrants
US in saying he is a frst-claSs stock horse.
