CLEVELAND, TENN, JUNE 5. 1879.

steeple-chasing on Wednesday will bring
us lot of visitors from BiartitZ, Bordeaux
and Tarbes if the weather remains fayora-
BILE several Of whom will be going on to
Nice, where the animal races will be held.
Lawn tennis is the favorite amusement of
the ladies at Pau, though what with din
ners and dances they must find ample en-
ployment for their time, as there are few
pleasure resorts in which so much hospita-
lity is exchanged among the visitors as
Pau. Pau being a large town, the shops
are as well supplied as the most fastidious
could desire, and several English shops
heve been opened for the special benefit Of
the nglo-American colony, whose spiritu-
al wants are also well provided for. The
winter season is not very favorable for
mountain climbing, but few adventurous
spirits make their way from time to time
through the Valley of Angeles and Pierre
fitte, Nestalas to Cauteret, Bareges de Bi
GORE, by way of the Tourmalet, and there
is some good rough shooting to be had in
the hills and valleys about Pau. For those
who are unable or unwilling to use their
legs, many places of interest can be easily
reached by rail, chief among them being
Lourdes which is within an hours journey
of Pau, and which is well worth the visit of
all those who can appreciate beautiful
scenery.

A Clever Rogue.

A gentleman of great experience in
the commercial world cashed a check
at London bank for Ell00 taking the
whole in fl00 notes. He was only a
few yards from the bank when a per-
son resembling clerk, bareheaded and
with pen behind his ear, touched him
on the shoulder, saying: "Beg your
pardon, sir; will you allow me just to
take tie number of these notes again
| won't keep youa minute" The gen.
tleman taken off his guard, handed the
notes over TO the supposed clerk, whom
he followed into the bank. After CIV
ing the former time TO reach the top
and return, he met the gentleman at
the door, saying: "Please walk this
way that gentleman will attend to you
in minute" pointing to a clerk who
was deeply engaged. Five minutes
elapsed before the gentleman could
draw the clerks attention to his case,
and he was thunderstruck to find that
the officer knew nothing about it. The
other clerks were interrogated, and
they were equally In the dark. or
course no time was lost in going to the
Bank of England, but too latej the
clever rogue had been before them and
obtained gold for the notes.

On the Circuit.

In the good old days OF Michigan
there wasn't any money to speak Of
floating around from hand to hand.
When householder wanted meal, he
scraped half dOZsn coOn-skins to-
gether and made trade. If he want
ed meat, he killed il; and If there was
need of whisky, il was very poor man
who couldn't find wildcat bill or a bo-
gus half-dOllar down in his pocket.
One day circuit preacher, hunting Tor
place in which to speak to the dozen
or twenty settlers in Oakland County.
halted at a fOrlorn-looking cabin beside
the trail and asked for dinner. The
squatter's wife extended very cordial
welcome, and said
"lt's lucky you come along to-day las
have got new bag of meal, lots of
sassafras for coffee, and some of the
best coon mutton you ever tasted OF.
Go down to the ditch and wash up, ,aad
III have the dinner ready in ten min
utes."
When the preacher returned he be-
gan lamentiEg the hard times, and the
fact that he hadn't seen the sight of
money for several weeks. lie was
cheerfully trying to do good, but he
frankly confessed that he could do
much better If he could now and then
hear thejingle of money in his trowsers
pocket. The woman looked wise, but
made no reply, and by and by the good
man resumed his journey. His horse
was picking his way along the trail,
about three miles from the cabin, when
native, six feet high and attired in
coon-skin cap, hickory shirt, and lndi-
an leggings, came after him on the
ran, yelling out:
"You thar! whoa! hold on, you!"
When he came up he asked:
care you the travelling Bible who
halted back there for dinner and eat up
whole coon?"
81 am circuit-rider, and halted
back there and eat more or less of big
hunk of delicious meat" answered the
good man.
"And didn't you tell my wife you
were dead broke for cash ?''
81 intimated as now recollect, that
| was not burdened with any great
amount ofcash."
"Well, my wife is the most Internal
hard-hlow in the Territory, and Pm the
meanest liar in the diggins, but yet we
must keep religion billing. Igot home
just as you left, and when she told me
about your being hard up, l went to
work and nodded you these six half
dollar pieces, There's a leetle too
much lead in 'em, but if you are care
ful to wipe 'em on your eoat-tall now
and then, they will pass on anybody
except land-broker!"
Some legends say that the preacher
didn't take them; but legends are not
GlludyS reliable.

The Tyranny OF Fashion.

There look at that lady, Sarah. Tha
makes five times since I've been in town to
day I've seen 'em do that
''DO what, ma ~
"Why, reach over and snatch up thci
skirts, and then make off as grand as tho
queen-what queen was il, Sarah, that
showed off so that King solomon writ 4
song about heri But this must be the very
latest fashion
"Why, they've been doing that, ma, fol
ever so long"
SIS that sol Well, that's generally the
way here in Missouri most everybody get.
the good of the latest fashions before we do.
Now watch me, Sarah, and see if do il in
the correct style
Goodness, ma. you cant do it you are
too fat.
"Too fat, am |. You'll see that your
mothers agoin' to do everything that's in
the fashion. Now look, Sarah"
The mother, a substantial lady of two
hundred pounds avoirdupois, measured the
distance with her eye between her hand
and the ample skirt beneath it, She was
resolute, but Sarah, the daughter, was fear
full The first attempt was not successful
"Now, ma, don't try any more. You
cant do it, you are toe fat. Don't try,
you'll break something"
But what Missouri woman of ambition
was ever deferred from the enjoyment of
the very latest quirks Of fashion by trihing
breaki She tried harder than ever. 1t was
inability to grasp the object this time that
made ii a failure. She gasped for breath,
but felt encouraged
'Nla, " said the anxious daughter, 'they
bring it up with kick--this way-some-
times, and she illustrated the fashionable
pedal motion.
The mother promptly tried 1t, and as
promptly abandoned that method of doing
the new fashion.
"That sort of kick may do for ships of
girls, Sarah; but your mother amt no colt
and | don't reckon there's any call for SEN
sible married women to be frisky like that
with their heels, even if it is the fashion
"We'll give it up till we get home, ma
there won't be anybody round to see, then,
and you needn't care if something does
break.
81 might never nave another chance to
show EN-. | can do it as good as the fash
ionablest, and I'm bound to do it right
whether things break or no. You'll see me
do it this time, Sarah"
But sad to relate, she failed to do the
fashionable act Things did break, to such
an extent that both mother and daughter
were hastily pinning up the damages.
When mother and daughter passed on
down the street and witnessed the fashion
able skirt feat accomplished again, the
mother tossed her head sconfully.
81 amt got no chance to be in the fash
ion, Sarah, till we get home But when
that back porch is cleared off and nobody
looking I'll do it, if it bursts every corset
string in Missouri,

The Prime OF Life.

Between the ages of forty-five and sixty
man who has properly regulated himself
may be considered in the prime of life,
His matured strength of constitution rend-
ers him almost impervious to an attack OF
disease, and experience has given soundness
to his judgment His mind is resolute,
firm and equal all his functions are in the
highest order; he assumes mastery over
his business; builds up a competence on
the foundation he has laid in early man
hood, and passes through n period of life
attended by many qualifications, Having
gone q year or two over sixty, he arrives at
a stand still. But athwgyt this is the via
duct called the turn of life, which, II
crossed in safety, leads to the valley OF
"old age" round which the river Winds
and then beyond, without moat or cause
way, to effect his passage. The bridge Is,
however, constructed of fragile material,
and il depends how IL is trodden whether II
bends or breaks. Gout and apoplexy are
also in the vicinity to waylay the traveller,
and thrust him from the pass; but let him
grid up his loins and provide with filter
staff, and he may trudge on in safety, and
with perfect composure. To quit meta
phor, "the turn Of life" Is q turn either in
to prolonged walk or into the grave. The
system and powers having reached the ut
most expansion now being either to close
like the flowers at sunset or break down at
once. One injudicious stimulant, a single
fatal excitement, may force Il beyond its
strength, with careful supply Of props
and the withdrawal Of all tends TO force a
plant will sustain it in beauty and vigoy un-
til night has entirely set in,

After the Lion.

Captain Aylward tells a droll story
Of rem Contre between a bushman and
liom The narrator was acquainted
with the man, and has no doubt of the
truth of the story. The bushman
while long way from his home was
met by lion. The animal, assured
that he had his victim completely in his
power began to sport and daily with
him with feline jocosity which the poor
little bushman failed to appreciate.
The lion would appear at point In the
road and leap back into the jungle, to
reappear little further on. But the
bushman did not lose his presence of
mind, and presently hit uyon device
by which he might possibly outwit his
foe. This plan was suggested by the
lions own conduct. Aware that the
brute was ahead of him, he lodged to
the right, and, feeling pretty sure of
the lions whereabouts, resorted to the
course Of quietly watching his move
w hSh AtOil uiSCONClCu
that the man had suddenly disappeared
from the path, he WAS good deal per-
picked. He roared with modification,
when he espied the bushman peeping
at him over the grass. The bushmIn
at once changed his position, while the
lion stood irresoute in the path, follow.
ing with his eye the shifting black man.
In another moment the little man
rustled the reeds, vanished, and showed
again at another point. The great
brute was first confused, and then alarm
ed. 1t evident began to dawn up him
that he had mistaken the position of
matters, and that he was the hunted
party. The bushman, who clearly re-
cognized what was passing in his enc.
my's mind, did not pause to let the
lion recover his startled wits. He be.
gan to steal gradually toward the foe,
who, now in complete state of doubt
and fear, fairly turned tail and decamp-
ed, leaving tie plucky and ingenious
little bushman master Of the situation.
