THIRD MEET OF THE wEsTCHEsTER PAPER
CHASING CLUB AND AN HOURS EXCITING RUN

The Westchester Hares and Hounds had another
meet yesterday. and though the hunt of shorter
duration than the previous ones it was equally
lively and enjoyable. The day far from

most careful pedestrian picking his way with
fearful steps the city streets. When

rendered their condition abominable. has affected

uniform of the club The hares, as they have been
before described donned black shirts and trunk hose
The hounds clothed in jackets of the intensest
scarlet hue fastened in front with black buttons and
in stockings OF color that fancy
had seemed to render most eligible. There was u
goodly display of stout and well turned legs, which
seemed not little to excite the admiration of the
genter spectators who Glanced to witness their lively
splashing and dashing through the streets of Mott

black caps with visors.

The st. 0othard Tunnel.

The Gothard tunnel is now the longest
tunnel in the world, the length, bored
from both sides, reaching total of
13,4S1 yards-2S yards longer than
Mont Gems. Very nearly: 5000 yards
still remain to be excavated, and if the
work goes on as rapidly this year as it
went on last, the navvies from Goschen
and those from Airolo may expect about
this time twelve month to shake hands
in the heart of the mountain. This
however, is far from. being certainty,
for according to the calculations of the
geologists, the work men will find direct:
~ under the Kastelhorn q thick mass of
serpentine and schist, which may prove
q considerable hinderance. Most Of the
:laborers employed in the galleries are
Italians. They work night and day in
shifts of eight hours each, and their work
is described as being terribly severe.
The heat is 50 great that they can wear
no clothes whatever. They, return to
the mouth of the tunnel streaming with
perspiration, their faces are yellow aud
CHASTITY, they cannot bear tho light of
the sun, they walk with bent shoulders
and stagger as if carrying burdens to
heavy for their strength. They are,
nevertheless, said to be cheerful, and
even merry. They support their hard
lot without repining; and save money.
It is satisfactory to know that the con.
tractors by whom the men are employed
treat them with every consideration.
A surgeon is always on the spot, acct
dents being frequent, and ample hos
pital accommodations are provided for
the ailing and the hurt.-London Times.

BROWN SOUP.
How a Judge Solved Nice Question
of Law

A correspondent tells a story about
Judge Kent that is interesting. A case
of burglary was being tried before him.
The prisoners name was Cowdry, and
the evidence showed that lie had cut a
hole through rubber tent in which sew
eral persons were sleeping, large enough
to admit his arm and head, and had alb
stracted several articles of value. His
counsel took the ground that the prisoner,
having only reached into the tent, had
not "entered" it, and that on this tech
nicality the defendant should be dis
charged. In his charge to the jury,
Judge Kent, with grim smile, alluded
to the plea Of the prisoners counsel, and
instructed them that, if they we're in
doubt as to the guilt Of the whole man,
they might bring him in guilty as far as
they judged the evidence would warrant,
and the jury, after brief period of con-
sultation, brought in a verdict against
Thomas Cowdry, the prisoner at the bar,
of guilty to the full letter of the indict-
ment as to his right arm, his right
shoulder, and his head. The judge SEN
fenced the arm, the shoulder, and the
head of said Thomas Cowdry to impris.
onment at hard labor in state prison for
the term of two years. The prisoner
might do with the remainder of his body
what he pleased.-Bangor (Ofe.) Wig.

Robbing Lincoln to Pay Parker.

Mr.. Lincoln has often been credited
with the expressive phrase "Of the peo-
pie, by the people, for the people," 1t
was not orr ginal with him, however;
Theodore Parker first used it, and often
used it during the last decade of his life.
A lady who was long a member of Mr..
Parker's household, and who assisted
him in his intellectual work, says the
idea did not spring at once to his mind
in its perfect conciseness; he had ex-
pressed it again and again with gradual
~ lessening difuseneas before he gave
the address to the Anti-Slavery Society,
May 13, 1854, where it appears thus:
"Of all the people, by the people, and
for all the people," as published in Ad-
ditional Speeches, Vol. 2, p. rs. But
that" she adds, twas not quite pointed
enough for the weapon he needed to use
go often in criticising the national &C.
tio4, to pierce and penetrate the mind
of hearer and reader with the just idea of
Democracy, securing it there by much
iteration; and I can distinctly recall his
joyful look when he afterwards read it
to me in his library, condensed into this
gem: OF the people, by the people, for
the people,"

small amount of nitrogen explains at
least one reason for the low value of
apples for feed and for manure, when
fed alone; and second, to make econom-
ical fodder for apples or pomace, food
rich in nitrogen should be added. In
this way not only the sugar, but also the
pectose, of which apples are largely
composed, may be economically utilized
as food.

biscuits are made with a hole in the
middle of each, so they can be strung on
a string and hung to the saddle-bow or
be carried carried by the trooper around
his waist. Each biscuit weighs, when
baked dry and hard, about two ounces.
Seven biscuits are broken up and given
to each horse in the morning, moistened
with water, if convenient, otherwise
dry; twelve at noon and seven at night.
After careful experiment in camp, on
the march and campaigning, they are
reported by all the cavalry and artillery
officers better than oats. A trooper can
easily carry thirty pounds of these bis
cults, which will furnish his horse with
full rations for eight days, or will serve,
with forage, for twenty days hard
marching.
In his investigation of the fodder
value of apples, Professor Storar, at the

apples are very poor in nitrogen. The

The general, therefore, sought to wean
Matilda from her lover, and the duchess
exerted herself to divert Napolean from
thinking of Matilda. But neither could
succeed. Napoleon and Matilda loved
too sincerely, too devotedly, to fall an
easy prey to the snares spread out to en-
trap their youth and inexperience.
Unable to disunite them, the general
and the duchess insisted upon the de-
parture of Napoleon, and on his absent
ing himself for a while from Paris.
They told him that the smallness of
their fortunes required it. 1t was. indis-

vented her believing the, false promises

they were about to sacrifice to their
