FACTS FOR THE CURIOUS.

A NEW musical instrument Is called
the ANGELICA. Il Is formed Of fifty pieces
Of crystal, and has keyboard as long
as piano. Half-tones can be played.
1t Is played with two little hammers;
the bass-hammer has two prongs, which
take an octave the treble-hammer Il

ing after o while that he was strong
enough to walk, we returned to camp,
leaving the slain animal as food for car
nivorous birds and beasts. We staid in
camp that night, and returned to his
home the next day, where he received
such primitive treatment as his half
breed wife could give him. From the
nearest railway station sent him ban
dages and medicines by messenger. I
have since learned that he was con-
fined TO the house for several months.
and that 1t was only his splendid con-
shtution which enabled him TO recover.
But he Is only wreck Of what he was,
and Is totally unfit to follow his former
arduous profession. Such are some Of
the pleasures Of the chase. -Harper's

Old Oak.

OF late Il has become quite the fash
ion TO collect old oak the revival OF
decorative art during the last few years
has again turned attention to old work,
and It's value is now fully recognized;
IL Is becoming rare. Ten years ago nu-
pnerous specimens were to be had in the
old timbered farm-houses In Lancashire
and Cheshire; much Of It still remained
as il had been for centuries, and ! have
many pleasant recollections Of the old
kitchens, with open hre-places and low
ceiling well supported on oak beams,
filed with grand old tables, corner-cup..
boards, Bullets and pewter racks, well
stored with the brightly -polished pewter.
I remember some instances whore the
old oak has been put to very ignomini-
ous uses. have seen fine old coffors
used &C corn-bins in stables, and I res
cued once o noble buffet which boy
had turned into the home Of four pink
eyed ferrets.
Some years ago Belgium was an excel.
lent field, and during one trip there
collected in Antwerp, Ghent, Maline,
| Bruqes and the little towns In their
vicinity, over dozen Of the finest speci-
mems Of Flemish work ever saw last

out finding one desirable antique, al

who initiates them very cleyerly, In fact,
50 successfully that 1t Is really difficult
to tell the spurious from the genuine.

first the siege began, pioketing was dan
gerous business. Both armies were
bent on fight, and picketing meant sim
ply sharpshooting. As o consequence,
at first the pickets were posted only OF
night, 80 that from midnight to mid
night the poor fellows lay In their rife
pits under broiling July sun, with no
protection from the intolerable heat.
excepting the scanty shade Of little
pine-brush erected overhead, or In front
Of the pit as screen. There the picket
lay, fat on his face, picking off the enc

Of 9 head or even 80 much - g hand ;
and right glad would he be II, when the
long-awaited relief came at length, he
had no wounds TO show.
But later on, as the siege progressed,
this murderous state Of affairs gradually
disappeared. Neither side found II
pleasant, nor profitable, and nothing
was gained by It It decided nothing,
and only wasted powder and ball. And
90, gradually, the pickets on both sides
began to be on quite friendly terms. II

that person must be 81 years old be-
fore he can pre-. empt land. When one
comes to ask if he can evade this law
and have his boys, who lack some
years of being p 'prove up some land
the attorney smiles serenely and says;
"Of course; certainly; it is the easiest
thing in the world !" And when the
time comes to make out the papers the
attorney marks with a piece of chalk
on the floor, "2l years old" He then
places the atfiant on the floor, standing
on these words, and has him swear that
he is over "21 years old"

The Peculiar Texas Steer.
Rocky Mountain Truth Teller.

A Wyoming man saw Il Texas Steer
standing on the railroad track and
knowing that the express was due tried
to induce the beast to move. Several
pieces of board thrown at the ferocious
monster tailed to move it until at last,
as the train rushed down the track at
lightning speed, he seized the steer by
the tail and twisted it like wet towel.
AT this moment the train struck them
both and the result was stupendous.
The steer was found two days after
wards browsing peacefully in corn
field, with two driving wheels hung on
its horns. No trace OF either the man
or the engine has been heard of since.

Lourdes, of which we have heard SO
much of late years, stands on the con-
fines of Bigorre and Bearn. In the
middle ages it DIT rived importance from
its castle, deemed impregnable. This
stands on an isolated eminence, which
rises almost perpendicularly from the
waters OF the Cave. The mineral water
of the hot wells are much Wanted, but
most of the cures are asserted TO be
made by simple spring of cold water
The grotto, whose roof is hung with the
oblations OF perfect cures" in the form
of crutcne, splints, and bandages, is on
the river bank, about ten minutes walk
from the town. The level ground be-
twixt 1t and the stream has been paved
and the interior of the grotto turned in
to chapel. Devotees, from duchesses
to dairy-maids kneel against the railing
which protects the shrine.

The welLknown French breeder 0
race horses, Count de Lagrange, is
about to sell his stud. He has now
been an owner of horses for just quar-
ter OF century; and during that
period ne has won in France and in
England, to say nothing of his occa-
sional excursions into Germany when
the Baden-Baden races were patron
lied by French sportsmen, more than
50 530,0 900. The sale of next month
will extend over three days, and 1873
head OF stock will be brought beneath
the allied hammers of the English and
the French Tattersall. The stock con-
sists of mares, foals, yearlings and
sires, and will be followed at the end of
the season by sale of horses in train
ing. All this thoroughbred stock is the
property of the association formed
seven years ago under the auspices Of
Count de Lagrange; and buyers are
expected to find their way from every
part of the habitable globe to the little
village on the banks of the Epte.
Dangu, at which the sale is to be held,
is village in the department of the
Eure. about five miles from Gisors, a
town on the line from Paris to Dieppe;
and Count de Lagrange owns nearly all
the land in this and in the adjoining
commune of Neauties-twelve hundred
acres of pasturage and fifteen hundred
of arabic land. 1t is here that Count
de Lagrange has been breeding and
training race horses for so many years;
and the perfect order which character
ICES the whole establishment goes far
to account for his success.

hire the shooting grounds. Rents IN
Scotland vary from $500 to So, 900.
Nothing under $1,000 is considered
worth while if amps room is desired.
Keepers wages and other expenses
must be added. If both deer and grouse

AUSFICIOUS OPENING
And Great success OF "A New Dry
Goods House.

Large wholesale houses usual, btain from
nence by years of patient industry, and do not
start off fully equipped with expert clerks, sur
plus cash and eager customers, upon large bust
ness career. Public confidence and popular
favor are the growth of time. The exceptions
of this law are phenomenal and always attract
attention by their novelty. An instance of this
kind is furnished by the uueXampled success of
the new dry goods firm of
BURKE, WALKER & CO.,
occupying the tive-story block, 100 by 1866 feet,
$50 to 236 Adams street Beginning business
there last January, under exceptionally favorable
auspices their trade has more than doubled their
expectations and is increasing beyond all pre-
cedent.
Mr.. Burke, for the last twenty-five years, has
occupied a leading position in the wholesale trade
of Chicago Is iavoraby known TO the business
men of the west, and, by previous training and
business experience, is specially well fitted for
this enterprise.
Mr.. Walker for the last FIVE years was the
leading business manager Of the great Dry Goods
house of A. T. Stewart g. Co., in Chicago and
was trained to the business and familiarzed with
the details of vast dry goods trade IN the New
y ork house. He has added to his knowledge OF
the dry goods trade in the east thorough as-
auaintance with conditions and wants OF this
trade in the west
As the firm of A. T. Stewart d CO., was re
firing from business they secured the services Of
a large co rps of their clerks and statesmen so
that the house thus organized knew the standing
and had the good viii Of western merchants at
the start. Importing largely, they have been
singularly fortunate in their foreign connections
in selecting one Of the most competent expert
enced and trustworthy experts in foreign goods Mt
the head Of their European house. such com
bination Of favorable conditions rarely nnitns IN
the persons of so competent men to inauggrate
their entrance upon great mercantile enterprise
as attended the introduction Of this new house To
the dry goods trade of Chicago. Both the active
partners are in the prime and vgor of manhood
ana good representatives. Of the class of mer
chants who have given character, wealth ond fame
to Chicago.
With ample capital, Astounding industry and
enterprise. courteous and afeble manners adapted
to make and retain friends, and a rcsolute pur-
pose to win success by deserving it, and with the
hearty good will of their contemporaries, this
house has taken yery prominent part in the dry
goods trade Of the West 1t is the union Of
active experienced members Of old, large and
eninently successful houses in new firm, to
conduct a business which they thoroughly under
stand in field in which they are well and favor
ably known.
