he could not bear its weight. so the
expedient was adopted Of causing his

proof. at least knife-proof, aud diff
culefor even . bullet to pierce at q

some time ago to poison the Gar by
sending him petition covered with
some noxious powder. since which he
ceased to receive letters. papers or
petitions. For Similar reasons he gave
up smoking, though he used to like a
cigar, and drank no wine but from
hotties uncorked in his presence. In
the imperial kitchen the Cars food
was prepared BY . French cook who
piled all his avocations under the eyes
of two police guards-not that the
cook himself could incur any suspic-
ions, but because come consprators
might have got At the ingredients he
was preparing. The food was always
cooked in the simplest way. without
sauces, and it WAS tasted by two OF.

Mr.. Vanderbilt and Maud s.

Spirit OF the Times
Notwithstanding our recent an
nouncement that Maud s. would not
be entered this season in races against
other horses, nor allowed to trot nj
the same time with other horses, there
10 still talk of matches being made
with her. In order TO eettle this
question we &re able to give MIR. Van
derbilt's views substantially in his
own words. The mare will trOt nu
matches for money while owned by
Mr.. Vanderbilt, against any horse.
She 10 open 10 trot against time oRly,
and her owner considers this the true
test Of speed. One driver may by
experience have many advantages
over another in management and man
ipulatiou in a race, which would moi
avail him when driving alone. Mr..
Vanderbilt means to give Maud s. d
fair trial in every respect. He hears
from her trainer thst she is in splend
ed condition. and abundautly able t.
beat her record. She will trot on the
same day and track with any other
horse for the amusement Of the public
- she trot-d last year. but will be ex
hibited in NO other way.
