forward aud kissed the baby hand Years lator,
when the baby had blossomed into the Queen Of
England and the boy the Lord Chancellor, he de-
lighted Her Majesty by confding to her his early
embarrassment In her baby presence. When
the Duke and Duchess of Kent were living
in retrenchment abroad, and the birth of a child
was expected, Sir Matthew Wood (the faithful
friend Of the family and administrator of their
embarrassed fortunes) looked at the political and
domestic situation and advised the royal couple
to come to England for the event. Before this
could be accomplished 1t was necessary to raise
10000 for expenses. This was DONE and Sir
Matthew Wood had the satisfaction Of knowing
that England's future Queen owed her birth within
her own dominions to his energy and foresight.

Nat SnrdO's Fish story.

A rich proprietor at the interior has
made to establish pond artificial, where found
themselves agglomeratod three thousand trouts.
This proprietor is the father OF girling Of from
five to six. She had taken the habitude to go each
morning to give to eat to the trouts, at the aid of
crumbs Of bread. These fishes were become so
entamed that they skipped out of the water for to
attrap the crumbs which the infant held In the
crevice Of her hand. 1t arrived one day that she
lost her equilibrium, aud she fell the head flrst
in the pond Of which the water was enough pro-
found. At the cries emitted by the girlng the
father was run himself But what horror He saw
his infant extended without movement at the sur
face, where she aoated as q cork. What was not
the surprise of the father in seeing that she had
been supported by mass of compact trouts. The
fishes had arranged themselves under her body so
rs to sustain and prevent her from to drown. If
this history Is truthful the fishes are not much
deprived of the intelligence as one pleased himself
to believe.

SENATOR'S IN THE SADDLE,

ston Ride Two Hundred MILES.

a distinguished party of gentlemen,
consisting Of Senators II. G. Davis and Camden, Of
West Virginia.. Thomas f. Bayard, of Delaware,
and John W. Johnston, of Virginia, and others,
arrived at the White Sulphur (Greenbrier) Springs
last Tuesday night after n trip Of two hundred
miles on horseback, lasting nearly ten days
through mountain wilderness In West Virginia.
They are connected with the West Virginia Cen
trail and Pittsburg Railroad, which Is to be an ex-
tension Of the Richmond and Allegheny Railroad.
They were accompanied part OF the way by secro
tary Of the Treasury Window, the Hon. I. b. Elkins,
OF New Mexico, and Alexander Shaw, Of Balti-
more, and the whole route by It. Il. Slckles,
consulting engineer Of the Union Pacific
.ltailroad; Lewis Baker, ex-Speaker George II.
Moffett, and Colonel Isaac Moore Of West Virginia.
Mr. Sickles is the chief engineer of the projected
road, and the trip was taken for the purpose Of
locating the route through an undeveloped terri
tory. Senator Bayard enthusiastically describes
the ride as one Of the most delightful he ever en-
joyed The party passed through country largely
virgin the soil Of which Is Of the richest charao
ter, finely timbered, and with immense deposits OF
coal and iron. More than half Of the Journey was
perform ed over mountains and streams, and with
out roads, n pioneer corps having cut away the
logs and timbers so ns to admit the passage Of
horses. This enterprise sspoken Of as of national
importance, such men, in addition to those already
mentioned, as Secretary Blaine, ex-senators Bar
mum, Chailee, and White of Maryland and Messrs.
Keene, Koyser, u S. Grant jr., and other capital
lists being actively engaged in promoting IT, The
design Is to connect with the Baltimore and Ohio
Road at Piedmont, with the Richmond and Allie
ghnny Road at Clifton Forge, and with the Chesa-
peako and Ohio at this point. When the exploring
party reached the summit between the Cheat and

stances permitting, to spend the month Of septem-

Doctor HERALD, of New York, tri-
umphantly asks whether it is likely that
the President has been doing well with
pulse above ninety for twenty-four
days, Well, that depends on what is his
pulse in health. The Herald tries to save
this point by saying that it is understood
his average natural pulse is less than
ninety, But this is the first statement
we have seen TO that effect. Before de-
termining what pulse of ninety with a
given person indicates, would it not be
well to ascertain whether it is ever any
less?

LAST Sunday or Monday newspaper
correspondent asserted that Colonel Cor

room could imagine how weak the Presi-

feet or turn over his hand. Another COR
respondent, represents DIR. Hamilton as
saying that this is untrue, and that the
President has always extended his hand
to him, raising his whole arm in the
movement. Did either gentleman say
what is attributed to him? And which
one was it2 Did any correspondent lie
Would it not be we'll for those near the
President to contradict gross misrepre-
