CUTE OLD HoRsEs. The intelligence Of
old horses is the subject,of many anecdotes
which wonderful as they often are, viii
rarely be doubted by any one who ia
familiar with horses. A good story illus
tIatiye Of their sagacity is told and vouch-
ed for as authentic by the Diamond News.
The scene Of the occurrence was Potchef-
stroom where our men and Beers were
known to be very near nighbors; 80 near,
indeed, that when the horses were turned
out to water they had their headstall and
halters taken off, 80 that il the enemy sud
denly appeared and tried to catch the ami
mails they would have nothing to lay hold
OF them by, and the horses would have a
chance of escaping into their own lines.
One evening, as usual, the horses were let
out Of the fort TO water, and rushed straight
to the ylej where they usually drank. But
the Beers were nearer than had been sus.
pected, and jumping ont Of some trenches,
capturing the animals. in spite Of the fact
that the halters were missing. The Beers
being riders, as it is well known, mounted,
and would. probably, have been able to
guide their new steeds into the town
when suddenly tho bugle at the fort .ound-
ed "horses in at trot, aud straightway
the whole Of them turned and made for
home, carrying their unwilling freight
The Dntchmen threw themselves of right
and left. but four Of them were carried
right into the camp aud taken prisoners.

DUKE CONSTANTINE JOKE Among
many amusing anecdotes of the Russian
imperial family related in the late Karl
Bender's memoirs is the following charac-
teristic story of the eccentric Grand Duke
Contantne, Gar Alexander's eldest uncle
While residing at Warsaw, Constantine
gave splendid banquet to number OF
the great Polish mobiles, to each of whom,
at the conclusion of the feast, an ordinary
tallow candle was served on plate by the
attendant Jacques, As soon Jas all his
guests were supplied with these peculiarly
unappetizing objects, the grand duke,
who had given orders that an imitation
candle, admirably executed in marchpanc,
should be placed on his plate, rose from
his seat and exclaimed; Gentlemen, let
us eat, to the house OF Russia, the favorite
national comestible Of my country. Look
at me. This is the way to do it, SO say
ing he threw back his head, opened his
mouth wide, and inserted therein two
inches or SO of the dainty in question.
As he closed his teeth, however, the er-
preston Of his countenence suffered an ex.
traordinary change. One Of the noblemen
sitting In his immediate vicinity. had con-
trived to substitute his own genuine tai
low candle for the marchpane imitation
set before the grand duke who not choos-
ing to betray himself, as an example to all
the victims Of his detestable Jest, none Of
whom, Of course, daring to abstain from
doing as the terrible Constantine did. 1t
