Stealing A SINGER,

The attempted abduction of a prima
donna has been the subject of much
gossip in Vienna. Some time ago,
about the hour when Mile. Blanchi was
performing the title role in Brulr
''Blanca," at the opera-house-a part
in which the heroine allows herself to
be led to the altar by the first cavalier
who presents himself-her would-be
abductor was laying his plot before the
artiste's coachman, and endeavoring by
bribe to induce him to enter into the
scheme. The shrewd fellow unhesitat-
ingly assured the gentleman that he
would do everything in his power to
promote the success of the project. On
the departure of the stranger the driver
at once disclosed the circumstances to
the managerial authorities ut the
theatre. The following night, after de-
posting Mile. Blanchi and her mother
as usual at their residence, the coach
man drove hastily to the rendezvous
agreed upon, where the languishing
lover had for some time been Impatient
ly awaiting his arrival. Upon seeing
the carriage the man rushed up to the
carriage door, where he was instantly
pounced upon by two detectives
and carried off to the police station.
Upon investigation he turns out to be
a hare-brained lunatic, who, for long
time past has been sending billets-doux
to the lady. He is now lodged in a
lunatic asylum.

Cost of Horse Shoeing.

Sir George w. Cox calculates that
the English custom of horse-shoeing
costs the nation every year on an aver
age of $4,000, 900 in hard cash, every
penny of which might be saved if
horses were allowed to go unshod.
Quoting an imposing array of authori-
ties from Xenophon, whose unshod
cavalry marched from Cunaxa over
the Armenian highlands to the walls of
Trebizond," down to the '.Free Lances"
of the present day, Sir George Cox
contends that it is safer, cheaper and i'm
every way better to let horses go un-
shod over the hardest roads-especially
over the slippery asphalt of London
streets. Two millions and quarter
per annum would then be saved in far
viers' bills alone; but this is only a
fractional part of the money which
would be saved by the trebling of the
duration of equine existence. Horses
which are now used up when twelve
years of age would, he contends, last
fourteen years longer if they were not
Shod, and the value of this prolongation
of the working life of horse he esti-
mates at E135;O00, 600 in twenty-one
years, or nearly f6, 500.0 900 per annum.

Decency Toward Horses.

western Rurtl.
A horse cannot be screamed at and
cursed without becoming less valuable
in every particular. To reach the high
est degree of value the animal should
be gentle and always reliable, but if it
expects every moment that it is in the
harness to be '.jawed'' at and struck it
will be in Il constant state of nervous
ness, and in its excitement is as liable,
through fear, to do something which is
not expected as to go along doing what
you started it to do.
1t is possible to train q horse to be
governed by the word of mouth. almost
as completely as it is to train q child,
and in such training the horse reaches
its highest value. When a horse is
soothed by the gentle words of his driv-
er-and we have seen him calmed down
from great excitement by no other
means-it may be fairly concluded that
he is a valuable animal for all practical
purposes, and it may be certainly con-
cluded that the man who has such pow
er over him is human man, and a SEN
Sible one.
But all this simply means that the
man must secure the animals conf
dence. Only in exceptional instances
is he stubborn or vicious. If he under
stands his surroundings, and what is
required of him, he gives no trouble
As almost every reader must know, ii
the animal when frightened can be
brought up to the object he will become
calm. The reason is he understands
there is nothing to fear. So he must
be taught to have confidence in the man
who handles him, and then this power
full animal, which usually no man could
handle if it were disposed to be vi
cious, will give no trouble.
The very best rule, therefore, which
we would lay down for the management
of the horse, is gentleness and good
Sc ase'on the part of the driver. Bad
drivers make mad horses. usually.

Lord Beaoons6eld and Thackeray,

Much bitterness, says London
paper, has been excited in some quar-
ters by Lord Beaconsfield's caricature OF
Thackeray, whom the great satirists S
admirers profess to identify beneath the
traits of St. Barbe, the journalist in
'.Endymion." The complimentary
sketch is thought to be intended as the
ex-premier's revenge for Thackeray' S
burlesque novel of ..Collings by" The
likeness in the case, as in all other
cases, has been purposely distorted SO
as to leave room for a denial by the
noble author that any portrait was in
tended; but everybody recognizes the
original. Gushy, the rival of whom St.
Barbe is always talking disparagingly,
is taken to be Dickens. Lord Beacons-
field has undertaken to throw people off
the scent by amalgamating his charac-
ters-thus Nigo is made to be a combi-
nation of Poole, the tailor, and of Geo.
Hudson, the Sunderland railway king,
once omnipotent in English society, but
who died in comparative obscurity some
years ago. This artiiice, however, will
not save him from severe attacks by
the wrathful friends of Thackeray and
Dickens.

Who can arrest calumnious tongue,
or who can stop the consequences of
calumnious misrepresentation? You
may refute it, you may trace it to its
source and expose its authors, you may
Sit every atom, explain, annihilate it,
yes, like Greek fire, it remains un-
quenclled and unquenchable; or like
weeds, which, when eXtirpated in one
place, sprout forth vigorously in anoth-
er spot. Haf-truths are often more
dalumnious than whole falsehoods. Not
a word may be uttered, but half-sup-
pressed innuendo, a dropped lip, an
arched brow, a shrugged shoulder, u
significant look, an incredulous express
sion of countenance, nay, even an en-
phatic silence, may do the fendish
work; and when the light and triling
thing which has done the mischief has
iiuttered of, the venom is left behind
to work and rankle and tester, to in
flame hearts, to fever human expert
ence, and to poison human society at
the fountain springs of life.-F. ".

A German Cartoon,

The German comic papers represent
the Imperial Chancellor as Father
Christmas opening the door of his fes-
tive chamber to his ministerial chill
dren, who enter with an impatient rush,
and madly overturn the illuminated
and heavily-weighted tree in their ankle
ty to clutch at the rich and rare things
provided for them. They scramble with
desperate eagerness for "a helmeted
puppet inscribed ''protection;'' for q
sugar heart entitled free trade;'' for a
gingerbread book on UNCONVENTIONAL
schools, for an ornamental copy of
Lessing's s'Nathan the WISE (done
into fluent Hebrew; for a scent bottle
containing the ''essence of intolerance"
for a painted block of barracks crown
ed with Idgteye Krteger;; and for a
jam-tart bill for abolishing and abating
the public taxes.

ORIGIN of "Ro1enttinrO


''In his lecture, james Redpath relat-
ed how the term sBoycotting' first came
to be coined and applied. He had been
breakfasting with Rev. John O'Mally,
parish priest of the Lough Mask district
at the time that Captain Boycott and
the tenants of the estate of which he
was agent were at daggers' points. 4
am troubled said Redpath to Father
O'Mally, to find an apt word by which
to call this Land League, and can't
get at it. Suppose you try your hand at
it, Father JohnP Why not call it
''Boycottinga," replied Father OMally,
promptly. That's the idea, Father
Johnr said Redpath, you have hit the
nail on the head; so shall it be baptized.
Now, Father John, you give the cue to
your parishioners and I'll post the
chiefs of the Land League, and the
thing is done.'"

Matrimonial Chances in Paris.

All marriages are not made in
heaven. Many must be made down
here upon earth by the multitudes of
matrimonial agents who puff them
selves and their merchandise in the ad-
vertising columns. Some of the persons
must do roaring trade, for. as you
drive up the hill at ST. Cloud you pass
by sumptuous villa which has been
reared by riveting hymeneal bonds.
One of these agents advertises a ''Grand
ChoiX de Veuves' ''large selection
of widows''-on hand, with large
stocks of maidens with dowries
varying from 100000 francs to many
millions. One has a girl of Is. with
100000 of francs for her dover.
Many others are in the market who
have S,000,0O0 to 100000 of francs
down. .'Why don't the men propose?"
was a famous song much sung in our
younger days. Why, indeed it may be
asked, when such fortunes go begging?

Keppler, the cartoon artist in Puck.
was born of Hungarian parents, in
Vienna, and was apprenticed to a bak-
er. His early artistic designs were
made in dough. After coming to this
country he started a little paper in st.
Louis, which attracted attention by the
boldness of its designs, but was not
profitable. Mr.. Keppler was a stanch
Roman Catholic, but when his wife died
the Church refused permission to the
singing society of which he was a men,
ber to perform memorial exercises over
her remains, and he thereupon discon-
nected' himself from its fold, and has
dealt it some hard blows in his paper.

DR.. Comes, of the Naples Academy,
finds in his later researches that light
favors the Transportation of plants which
attains its maximum shortly after mid
day; that, other things being equal, the
organ transpires most which is the mos t
highly colored, and that it emits most
water when exposed TO that part of the
solar spectrum where it absorbs most
light; and that only those luminous
rays which are absorbed favor the trans
piration of an organ.

needy friend in Bridgeport, Con-, a
secondhand suit of clothes. When the
Bridgeport man had worn them day

button or piece of a match inside the
lining of the vest pocket. Examination
revealed the presence of handsome
diamond. He notified the New York

recovery of the stone as it was valued
at something over $500. 1t had been
loosened from a ring carried in the

ktime to time took part, but the enemy's fire twas 50 severe that it was impossible to work sthe guns continually, the men falling 4almost as soon as they stood up. With Sthe sole exception of Lieutenant Parsons, fwho was wounded late in the day, every soficer, driver, gunner and horse in the bat &tery was hit. Shortly after the action began sthe guns were completely silenced for an hour Some of the infantry then assisted. One piece was thus kept in action through out the day, but it was dangerous duty and Ethose serving had continually to be replaced. Tine guns were actually whittled all over with marks of bullets, and sfor anybody to sstand up beside them was death. The ienemy occasionally crept up to within two hundred yards of the position, but never attempted to rush. The greater portion of 'the fighting was at distance of six or seven hundred yards. The tactics of the Boers are described as admirable. They moved from Hank to flank opening fire from time to time from unexpected positions. For our men to advance and charge at the point of the bay
 |onet was quite impossible, for they would all |have been shot down before reaching the |enemy. The fight was one of rifles, where| the Boers were vastly superior to the troops. A dispatch from Durban says large bodies |of Boers are near Newcastle, and the advance| |of Hussars has been arrested and their situa-|
 tion s-very critical. Active preparations are|
 being made at Newcastle to resist any attack
 of Boers. Communication with General
 Colley's camp has happily been restored.
 A late dispatch from Durban says the]
 Boers have occupied the late battle field on|
 the Ingogo river, and are pressing the British
 troops very hard.
