The Last of the Stuarts.

In the year 1888 Charles Edward, the
Young Pretender, died in Rome, and
soon after the French Revolution drove
his widow, the Countess of Albany, to
seek refuge in London, where she was
we'll received in St. James Palace by
the king and queen. Her stay was only
for few months, and she found England
generally, and London in particular,
much duller than she expected.
The only good" she says in her diary,
(which England enjoys, and which is in
appreciable, is political liberty. If Eng
land had an oppressive government, this
country, together with its people, would
be the last in the universe; bad climate,
bad soil, and, consequently, tasteless pro-
auctions. 1t is only the excellence of its
government that makes it habitable."
This judgment of England by Jacob
lite princess, whose husband would have
changed all but the climate, is at least
interesting. The Countess Of Albany be-
came-but not until the death of Cardin-
81 York-the recipient of an annuity
from George III. The cardinal, who
from the year 1900 was in receipt of q
pension .of $4,000 q year from King
George, died in 1907, at Rome, when he
was eighty-two years of age. Cardinal
York was the last male heir of the line
of Stuart, but, strange to say, there ex-
isted, even down to the year 1872, a gem
tleman who claimed to be the legitimate
descendant of the cardinals elder BROTH
eT. His younger brother, LIE Comte
dAlbanie," as his card proclaims him,
still survives.

THAT is q very funny ghost story
which is going the round Of the papers.
That it is merely a fact of the imagina-
ton rather than of history does not mar
it in the least. A late traveller, the word
"late" referring not to his decease, but
to the hour Of the night, while cropping
his way home, saw in the middle Of the
highway what he took to be q veritable
ghost. It stood still and was dressed in
white, as any conventionally respectable
apparition would be. Brave at heart he
determined to solve the mystery. Ad-
vancing with cautious tread he got close
to the "sheeted dead" and struck it q
right smart blow with his stick. What
happened Immediately after he alone
can describe with its proper pathos. He
was lifted into the air and came down
with q disagreeable thud in the mud of
the ditch. Upon proper investigation the
ghost turned out to be white mule,
who was standing the night ont in med
itatlve mood, when his reverie was bro
ken IN upon by the intruder. The vic.
tim declares that whatever his private
opinions may be, he shall hereafter act
% though ghosts were reality, and steer

A Change Of Climate.

Yesterday morning a forlorn cricket
that had been tempted out of doors by
the warm weather Of the preceding days
was shivering along the street looking at
cheap, secondhand ulster, and wishing
he were home, when he met wasp that
had been locked out during the fall
house-cleaning.
~ ann almost frozen" said the cricket;
"my hands are fairly numbed with
cold"

replied the wasp, cheerfully, land warm

The cricket did so, and the wasp i'm
mediately warmed him with the improv-
ed heating machinery located in the
after part of his system. The cricket,
merely pausing to remark that there APP
peared to be a cayenne pepper manufac-
tory in the neighborhood, crawled under
the plank walk to die, while the wasp,
who was fond Of his little joke, went
away singing-hnerrily, :" Come, come

Fight with an Indian Devil.

On Thursday last, says the Portland
QMe.) Press, Mr.. j. y. lngraham and son,
G! West Camden, Me-, discovered the
track ola wild animal leading toward
Ragged Mountain, in the northern part
OF Camden. They at once put the hounds
on the track, and followed them. After
Following the track about two miles they
caught sight Of the animal, which proved
tc be an Indian devil of the largest size.
Being excellent marksmen, and not in
any way daunted, they took different
routes to cut him off before he could
reach the heavy growth of timber that
les on the top of the mountain. They
agreed to meet at point half way up
the mountain, where they expected the
animal would pass. ]. i. Ingraham ar
rived first, and discovered the animal
coming up. Mr.. Ingraham's son follow
ed. Seeing Mr.. Ingraham in his path
the Indian devil turned upon the hound
and a terrible combat followed. The
fight lasted q short time only, as the devil
threw the hound in the air about ten
feet. The men did not dare to fire for
fear of killing the dog.
After throwing the hound into the air,
the animal, seeing Mr.. Ingraham's son
coming up, jumped to the top of a high
cliff. The young man at once went be-
low and prepared to fire. The devil
made q tremendous leap from the cliff
to the young man below, over thirty
five feet. The father, seeing that his
only chance was to kill the animal in
his leap, at once fred, breaking one fore
leg. The Indian devil struck the son,
however, tearing his coat in shreds and
knocking him down, and they both roll
ed down the mountain together, about
twenty feet. The hound followed and
attacked the animal again.
The devil left the young man and turn
ed on the dog and threw him into the
air again, and the dog struck on ledge
below, nearly dead. Mr.. Ingraham took
the gun his son had dropped in the
struggle and fred. The animal fell or
its side, but was still very ferocious.
Father and son then took their guns and
struck him until he ceased to move. He
measured five feet, and looked very
much like an American panther. 3

History Of the Short Horns.

One hundred and fifty years ago few
If any short-horns were to be found out
of the counties of Northumberland,
Lincoln, Yorkshire, and Durham, Eng
land. The best were located in the
valley of the river Tees, in the last
named counties. There is no authentic
history that any progenitors of the cattle
were imported into England, and as the
soil of the countries above named was
rich, well adapted to the growth of the
best grasses, perhaps our blue grass, and
afording the very best pasturage for
cattle, the climate favorable, etc, it is
altogether probable that these natural
advantages rapidly tdeveloped the Best
qualities of the c, lie of THAT locality,
which enhanced tlsetr marketable value
greatly, and wk.c4l doubtless induced
their owners to adopt careful system
of breeding, and prompted a generous
supply of food for winter and summer,
whereby they had acquired great dis
tinction as early as 1770, when a new era
dawned on the history of short horns.
About that time two brothers, Robert
and Charles Colling, young men, em-
barked in the business in Durham
county, England, who by skillful breed
ing and management, brought their
herds to such state of perfection that
it is doubtful whether any herds have
exceeded them, even to this day. They
accomplished this by judicious system
of in-and-in breeding, and it is well
known fact that the best herds in Eng
land and America are descended FROM
progenitors bred by them. Mr.. Charles
COlling bred the celebrated Durham X.
about 1870. He was roam in color, aid
in his fifth year weighed 1924 pounds.
He was exhibited in nearly all Of the
agricultural counties in England, was a
prize winner wherever he wasexhibited,
and his owner refused $4,000 for him.
The brother, Mr.. Robert Colling, in
1906, bred the white COW called saThe
White Heifer That Travelled" because
she was exhibited in all of the agricul
tural counties in England and won prizes
wherever she went.
As early as 1885 Messrs Cough 4
Miller imported from England some
short horns to the south branch Of thu
Potomac, and tradition says some cattle
descended from these and from some
other importations were bred and
brought to Clark county, Kentucky, an
were there kept, and the bulls bred on
native stock in that section of the State.
They were the first imported cattle
brought to the State, SO that Clark
county was the first in the State to en-
gage in the Improvement of cattle which
some of the citizens have kept up, and
now there are a number of very fine and.
large herds owned in said county.
Among them is that of Mr.. Abram
Renick's herd of Rose of Sharons not
surpassed, certainly, and perhaps not

A WORD TO THE WISE.

Love hailed little maid,
Romping through the meadow:
Needless in the sun she played.
Sc0rnful Of the shadow.
Come with me-" whispered he;
Listen, sweet, to love and reason"
by and by" she Knocked reply,
Loves not in season."
Years went-years came.
Light mixed with shadOw;
Love met the maid again,
Dreaming through the meadow.
"Not so coy" urged the boy,
List In time to love and reason"
by and by" she unused reply,
Love is stilli season.
Years went-years came,
Light changed to shadow;
Love saw the maid again,
Waiting in the meadow.

Keep thee coy whispered the boy,
Love quite out Of season.
