AnecdOte of Rachel.
London Letter.1


Mr., Borthwick, proprietor of the Morn
ing Post, has, during the last quarter of
a century, been acquainted with every
celebrity in London and Paris, from Lord
Palmerston to the Marquis of Salisbury,
and from Rachel to Sarah Bernhardt. OF
the first-named Jewish actress he saw a
great deal and heard much from her own
lips of the straitened circumstances of
her early life. Rachel and all her family
tramped the whole way from Strasburg
to Paris, and herded together in a miser-
able garret in the foulest quarter of that
gay capital, namely, the Isle of the City.
Here the future tragedian starved in such
literal earnest that on one occasion she
and street cur fought over a bone which
had still some scraps of meat adhering to
it. To her dying day Rachel bore on her
cheek the scar of the savage bite she re-
ceived in that encounter. When she had
become rich and famous she was not
indeed why should she be?
to point out to her English friend the
squalid staircase up which years before it
had been her daily task to carry water
from story to story.

The Wild Cattle of Great Britain,

The Chil!ingham herd are the connect
ing link between the wild cattle of
England and those of Scotland-beauti-
full creatures, with black ears and muz-
zles; "their horns fine, with bold and
elegant band" who hide their young and
feed in the night, and whose calves lay
in the form like bears. 1t has had many
chroniclers, and Bewick and Landseer
took portraits among its members. The
late Lord Tankerville observed their
manners and customs attentiyely, no easy
task, as he would sometimes, in summer,
be for several weeks at time without
getting sight of them.
At that S ason, on the slightest appear
arnce of any one, the wild cattle retire into
their forest sanctuary, but in winter they
come down for food into the inner park,
and will let one come almost among them,
especially if on horseback. Here is pref
ty picture of these strange creatures, rem
nants of an old world, which have hither-
to been preserved under extraordinary
difficulties, but can not, we should think,
long continue to exist: "When they
come down into the lower part of the
park, which they do at stated hours, they
move like regiment of cavalry in single
file, the bulls leading the van, and when
they are in retreat the bulls bring up the
rear. Lord Ossulton was witness to a
curious way in which they took posses
sion, as it were, of some new pasture, re-
Gently laid open to them.
1t was in the evening, about sunset
They began by lining the front of a small
wood which seemed quite alive with
them, when all of sudden they made a
dash forward altogether in line, and
charging close by him across the plain,
they then spread out, and after a little
time began feeding. The wild white
cattle are ferocious animals, valiant fight
ers, capable of domestication when taken
very young, but once partially or wholly
grown up, quite untama6le. MIR. Storer
says that they hate and fear man, scent

Prisoners from the Salvation Army.


South Wales has been thrown into a
state of dire commotion by the recent ar
rest, and subsequent committal to Jail, of
Miss Lock, "Captain," and four other
members of the Salvation Army" for
obstructing the public thoroughfare at
Pentre. Four or five thousand people,
chiefly women, assembled to see the pris-
oners depart by train for Pontypridd,
their ultimate destination being Cardiff
Jail. Hymns were sung, and Mr.. John
Lloyd, at whose house Miss Lock had
been visitor, came into the street and
offered up prayer for the conversion of
Sergeant Moot, by whom, in the discharge
of his duty, the Salvationists had been
arrested.
Copious floods of tears were shed by
the Police as well as by the public; and
the local report adds: 1.-THE wives of the
male prisoners accompanied them to the
station, singing and weeping, and Mrs.
Lock, the mother of Miss Louisa Lock
and Miss Mary Lock, her sister, were
also in attendance, and in tears" Offers
to pay the fine were rejected by the priso-
ners, who preferred the mild martyrdom
Of one Or two days imprisonment. Miss
Lock prayed good deal for the Sergeant,
and it is satisfactory to know that a reso-
