Lamartine's Habits.

Lamartine was an early riser. His
mornings were set apart to work, and
he wrote with marvellous rapidity and
elegance. When breakfast was ready,
he would come to the table in his old
gray jacket, not eating very much him
self, but filling his plate to feed his
dogs, much to the detriment of the
dresses of the lady guests who might
be seated near him. After breakfast,
he carried bread out to his horses, of
which he generally kept a dozen at
least. Then followed an excursion,
perhaps on horseback and perhaps ON
foot, with one or more of his guests for
company. He was very hospitable, and
his house always seemed full. He
talked about everything when he
talked at all, and never was rude but
once, says Lacretelle.

CALEDONIAN PICNIC.
GATHERING OF THE CLANS AT rRRADwAY's YES
TERDAY-TaE RIFLE TEAMS, AND THE
ARCHERY SHOOTING.

tremendous crowd of brawnie Scots
came down yesterday to attend the Caledonian
picnic, to celebrate their Fifth anniversary
Twenty-six car loads came down filled with
muscle, beauty and j"lity of the Comstock.
rHR CHILDREN.
As soon as the crowd stormed the ranch and
carried the outer gates, the children spread
themselves over the place and began an at
tack on the green apples. The branches were
loaded down with the unripe fruit; but these,
quite as hard AS paving STONES, were esteemed
such luxury by the children, that they left
roast chicken and currant jelly to fill their
sto,nachs with the apples. The result was
that a good many were convulsed with the
pangs Of cholera morbus, but all such were
jared for like father by the good old farmer
rreadway.
THE TARGET SHOOTING.
The respective teams which competed for
the CALIFORNIAN trophy got to work immedi-
.tely after arriving on the grounds, and the
crack Of the rifles went up and down the line
like clock work. The Sarstields were in
splendid trim, and at nearly every shot the
marker showed up his "bulrs eye" signal
The Emmet's their old antagonists made
sharp struggle for the lead but after falling
ten points behind gradually lost ground but
kept the second place with the Carson guards
hut one behind. The Carson Guards would
have taken second place but for Parker, Herr
