RURAL SPORT.

On Sunday last three gentlemen of the Mint
started out on an equestrian excursion to
Marlette Lake, but owing to very provok-
ing circumstance they did not get there.
When midway between this city and their
point of destination, one of the party saw a
grouse in tree, and nothing would do but
| he must have that grouse. He dismounted
| from his horse and blazed away at the bird
with little parlor gun, missing his mark, of
| course; and turning around to see if his steed
was all right, he saw the provoking beast
about a mile away, galloping off as if chased
by thousand demons. With imprecations
hanging on his lips and the reddest kind of
blood in his eye. he borrowed the horse of
one of his friends, and started in pursuit of
the runaway. He must have ridden six or
seven miles before he reached the point where
his horse had halted for rest but the horse
had descended declevity so steep as to render
it specially hazardous to ride down it. So he
dismounted and tied the borrowed horse to a
small bush, and scrambled down the steep
place on hands and knees, taking him some
time before he managed to get his nag on
level ground. When he had accomplished
the task of bringing his horse out of the
ravine, the red blood in his eye grew redder
as he found that the borrowed animal had
loosened itself from the frail bush and also
taken French leave. A cloud of dust was seen
about two miles off, in an entirely opposite
direction from Marlette Lake, kicked up by
the runaway. Our unfortunate friend went
in pursuit, and it WAS past three O'Clock
before he captured the horse. During ali
this while the two other gentlemen were
waiting for the return of their friend, but
their wish was not gratiGed until late in the
evening. An explanation followed, which was
received by the two patient ones in Yer, |
morose and unsatisfactory manner, and they |
rode back to the city without exchanging
word on the whole trip.

OEsTRUCTING THE SIDEwALK.-A fact
which has been the subject of considerable
unfavorable comment for long while, is
that the sidewalk in front of the French
Hotel is at all hours of the day and evening
blocked up with loungers who scarcely deem
it necessary to move chair in order to per
nit pedestrians to pass. Besides it is hardly
safe for lady Or gentleman to walk along
there without being subjected to an i'm
pertinent stare or remark. The sidewalk
should be kept clear so that people can
walk along it without knocking up against
the chairs and men who commonly obstruct
it.
BALL AT THE TALLAC House. This affair,
which comes on the Goth instant, will afford
our citizens nice trip, pleasant hop, good
supper and view of the fine scenery of Lake
Tahoe nothing more enjoyable has been
offered this season. There is not the crowd
ing and weary of the pic mic, and visitors will
be sure to meet only respectable and social
company. For pleasant excursion, take it
in, by all means.

First Edition. l03. 900.

So rapidly are orders increasing for
the December .ScriGRer that il is
thought the first edition of los, 600 will
not supply the demand. One cause of
the recent increase i'm circulation, by
which one hundred thousand Novem-
Der numbers were sold i'm two weeks,
is undoubtedly due to the growing in
tercst in the two serials, Henry james,
Jr.'s Confidence" which is one of his
most fascinating character studies, and
George w. Cables novel of New Or
leans life, 1.-The Grandissimcs." This
latter, begun in November, will he
the leading serial story of the year.
Mr.. Cables ''Old Creole Days" has at
tracted wide attention, and this, his
first novel, promises to be among the
strongest and most important works
of fiction that have yet appeared in
American literature. A new serial
story by Mrs. Burnett. author of
''rh:t Lass o LOwrie's," has also been
secured and will begin in an early
number. The special attractions Of
the December number include twenty
poems by American women, compris-
ing verse by many of our most promi-
nent women writers; 1.-Two Visits to
Victor Hugo, by II. II. Boyseen, with
large portrait engraved by Cole; an
illustrated description of the Johns
Hopkins University, and an interest
ing paper by Burroughs on Nature
and the Poets." 1.-The New Capitol
at Albany" is critically described in an
article Of eighteen pages, with the aid
of twenty-three drawings, and there
are illustrated papers on Coffee Gull
ture i'm Brazil" Success with Small
Fruits" etc, etc.
1.-The Reign Of Peter the Great" by
Eugene Schuyler, will begin in the
February number. The illustrations

THE question has lately arisen as to
whether or not the common, homely
sorghum, with which We are all so
well acquainted, can be made to pro-
duce the best of sugar, and thus give
to the North, as well as the South, an
abundance of that great staple, which
has grown from a luxury to be neces-
sity, and which ranked during the
war next to King Cotton. At the con-
vention of cane growers i'm st. Louis,
last week, some interesting items were
contributed concerning sorghum, as
sugar producing cane, and among them
was the following statement:
An interesting report of p. b. Rus
sell, of the sorghum sugar establish
ment at Crystal Lake, ILL.,, was read.
in which the statement is made that
about IS 600 pounds Of splendid sugar
was made there this season from very
inferior juice, obtained largely from
unripe cane. The report says: The
experience we have had at our works
this season convinces us that with
proper machinery and juice weighing
ten degrees Raumer, we can grind
cane one day and sugar made from
that cane ready for the market the
next day, and not have to carry our
stock six months before the sugar is
ready.
If Kansas can produce one thing
better than another, it is sorghum;
-, l. l..
and profitable, this broad land will
soon ''bud and blossom" with sor-
ghum.

THE main chapel of the Wesleyan
chapel, in London, as also the adjoin-
ing room known as Wesley's Morn-
ing Chapel, were very much injured
by a fire which occurred last Sunday.
The main room suffered considerable
injury from the flames, while the
Morning Chapel was cleared of every
thing. John Wesley S pulpit, which was
standing in the main room, was saved.
Considerable damage was also done to
the frescO work of the beautiful cell
ings, and doubts are entertained
whether the roof can be restored.
With the exception of the pulpit and
frescos on the walls, the interior furn-
iture was entirely different from what
it was one hundred years ago. This
chapel has always been the Mecca of
Methodists who have visited London
For Methodist to visit London and
not view the church which was hon
ored by the ministrations of the
founder Of that great faith, was GER
tainly an objectionable sin. The
chapel is situated on what is known
as the City Road, opposite the famous
cemetery of, Bunhill Fields, where
De Foe, John Bunyan, DIR. Isaac
Watts and other celebrities, now re-
pose. John Wesley and DIR. Adam
Clarke are buried just i'm the rear of
the Wesleyan Chapel.
