of Richard Ill" Junius Brutus

OF Richard I'LL" Junius Brutus
Booth, his father-the rival of Edmund
Kean. and one of the greatest tragedi-
ans that ever iived--was then keeping
an engagement at the Museum, and
Edwin was in attendance on him as
dresser. Tressil had been cast to the
prompter of the theater: but il CHANGED
that this person wished 10 avoid the
duty of acting il, and that he succeed
ed in persnading Edwin TO undertake
it. This arrangement was made with
out the elder Booths knowledge. and
he only became aware of il by reading
in the plav-bil! the announcement of
his sons first appearance duly under
lined. "Foolr' was all he said when
he read this announcement; and this re-
mark was not understood TO signify en-
enlargement When the night came.
and Edwin had dressed his father Tor
Gloster, and himself for Tressil, the &C.
centric parent-who, beneath an out
ward aspect of indifference. loved this
son with the fondest aifeetion-took 4
chair, lit a cigar. and, viewing the youth
with a critical eve, made this inquiry.
'Do you know that you are supposed to
have been riding hard and far?'
Yes. sir"
Where are your spurs?'
81 haven't any.
Take mine holding out one
booted leg.
The boy took the spurs, and went on
for his little scene with king Henry
vi. When he returned, his father was
still sitting negligently in the chair.
and smoking the cigar. ''Give me my
spurs" he said, again holding out his
leg: and this was all the comment that
Edwin Booths first professional APP
pcarance ever elected from the parent
whom he idolized. He learned sub
selently, though. that his father had
been down at the wing, and had
watched this first effort with evident
interest and satisfaction, and then
hasteued back to his nonchalant pose
in the dressing-room. There never.
surely, could have been more singu-
lar being than Junius Brutus Booth.
This little trait OF character is but one
of thousands that marked him As a
unique person. William Winter, IN

Feeding Horses.

The horse has the smallest stomach
in proportion to his size of any animal.
Fifteen or sixteen quarts is its utmost
capacity. This space is completely
filed by four quarts of oats with the
saliva that goes into the stomach with
it. Horses are generally Overfed, and
not fed often enough. Fora horse with
moderate work. six or eight quarts of
bruised oats and eight or ten pounds OF
fine hay a day is sufficient. This should
be fed in at least three meals. and is
better if fed in four.
A horses digestion is very rapid. and
therefore he gets hungry sooner than a
man. When he is hungry he is inef-
fective. and wears ont very rapidly.
Water fills the stomach. lowers the tenn
perature and dilutes the gastric juice;
therefore, horse should not drink i'm
mediately before eating. Neither
should he be watered Immediately after
eating, because he will drink too much.
and force some of the contents of the
stomach into the large intestine. which
will cause securing. Securing is also
caused by too rapid eating, which can
be prevented by putting half dozen
pebbles, half the size of the fist, into
the manger with the oats.
Give only moderate drink of water
to horse. A large drink of cold water
before being driven will have very
quieting effect on a nervous horse. A
race-horse always runs on an empty
stomach. Digestion progresses moder-
ately during exercise, if the exercise is
not so violent rs to exhaust the powers
Of the horse. l consider bruised oats
worth twenty per cent. more than
whole. They are more completely di-
gested. Prefer oats to any other grain
for horses. Cracked corn is very good
under some circumstances. but wouldn'
use meal or shorts. The disease called
big head is caused by feeding corn.
When horse comes in hot, would
give moderate feed Immediately. If
the horse is too tired to eat, would take
his feed away. A heated body is a
reason against watering and for feed
ing. for the system is then just in the
condition to begin digestion. A horse
will not founder if fed moderately when
hot. Iprefer dry feed unless horse
has some disease of the throat or lungs;
do not consider it worth while to cut
hay. always feed hay from the floor,
then the horses do not get particles in
their eyeS.-Cor- Golden Rule.

Contradictory accounts of Mexico
are being given by present travellers. A
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune
says: 1t is not simply an impover-
ished country. with great natural re-
sources which have been exhausted. for
no degree of agricultural and CONNER
cial distress is beyond the possibility of
recuperation. This country is natural
ly poor. Volcanic fires have blasted its
surface. Vast sections, hundreds of
square leagues. are but extinct craters.
A correspondent of the Louisville
Conrier-.joHraa! is equally positive that
Mexico is not poor and arid, but = if in
habited by our race, in five Years, with
such a population and only OF an equal
number with that which Mexico now
has. the mineral and agricultural ex-
ports alone would nearly equal all the
exports of any other country of the
world

repeated again this morning, perhaps
with embellishments. Ii relates to the
sudden outburst OF emotion by the
Princess Stephanie at the critical mo-
ment OF her marriage yesterday, and
gives - the explanation OF that sensa-
tional incident story which sounds
ike romance, but which. its REALTORS
affirm, Is correct IN every essential par
ticuiar. Briefly told, II Is this: The
Princess had been carefully, perhaps
too carefully. brought up IN seclusion
by her parents. and she was constantly
watched over with great solicitude.
She very rarely saw anything of the
world outside her own home;. and her
visit TO Paris with her father at the
time oi the 'ate exposition was the hrst
and ONLY occasion on which she had
visited any capital save Brussels But
while a, faris, by an accident or
through the moinentary lnadYertence
o, her father, she met an American
gentleman. She and her father were
III Paris incogBito. and were living IN a
quiet manner nj not Interpretations
hotel The American, ignorant OF the
real name and rank of the young lady,
but charmed with her beauty, grace
and simplicity. fell quickly in love with
her. Selling an opportunity one after
noon when the Princess was for
moment separated from her
father. who was busiiy engaged
in examining some machinery as
she was standing in an adjoining
alcove, the American told her who he
was, explained in very few words that
he possessed wealth in abundance and
an unsullied name; told her that he ad
mired and loved her and asked her per
mission to speak to her father, whom
be presumed to be only Il well-to-,lo
manufacturer or merchant, and solicit
from him the privilege of paving 10 her
his addresses. in the hope of winning
her affections and making her his wife.
The Princess 10 whom ali this was like
n dream. knew not what TO reply; and
seeing her hesitation. the American re-
newed his protestations and pressed his
suit with such passion that the Princess,
becoming alarmed. and catching a
glimpse of her father in the distance,
hastily fled 10 him. A few inquiries on
the part OF the American soon after
ward disclosed to him who was tie
youug lady; and this disclosure put an
end 10 what hopes he might have enter
tanned Upon the return of the King
and Princess to Belgium, however, he
followed them. not with any intention
of thrusting himself upon the Young
lady. but that he might occasionally

more frequently than he had hoped,
and his passion deepened. The

presence, and something like roman
