upon one occasion, one of Michael Ru~
dolph's brothers visited the city on busi-
ness, and was met in the street bv the
Frenchmen, they halted and at once ex-
claimed: 'Mon Dieu. it is the grand
marshal; Leon Ronge has escaped''~-so
great was the likeness. DR.. Earl had pur-
sued his researches to Georgia, and there
was earnestly told by a worthy gentleman
that one Of the French elnigres who had
settled i'll Savannah told him very ex~
clted'y, some years before, that. upon the
arrival OF u French packet, among the pas
sengers who landed, under an assumed
name, were Victor Ney ana brother, sons
Of the marshal. They travelled incognito,
and had been fol few days making i'll
Quiry for Mrs. Michael Rudolph and her
plantation. While pursuing their inyesti-
CATION, they were met by the Frenchman
spoken Of above, who at once recognized
them, and cordially saluted them with the
exclamation: -'Why Monsieur Victor
/ Ney; why, when did you arriye?" Ney
drew himself up, and in reply, in French,
| remarked: "Iou are IL israken in the~
person" They left Savannah immedi-
ately and mysteriously as they arrived.
And again, at the trial Of Marshal Ney,
after the overthrow of Napoleon at Water
loo, for breaking his parole, his advocate
(to whom, knowing his fate was sealed
he doubtless told under the seal of secrecy
his carly history, in his earnest endeavor
to save his distinguished clients life,
after being satisfied that lis conviction
was foregone conclusion, excl4ilDed:
''If there is no other plea that will save
my clients life [ claim his life not rs q
Frenchman, but as''--Ney at once vehe-
ment]y stopped him, exclaiming, "hold!
let me die AS Il Frenchman.''
Who knows how far the stoIi,l indiffer-
ence to death, manifested by him upon
every bloody tield-in covering the retreat
from Moscow, with the old guard at
Waterloo; aye. even for the sublime ndif-
ference with which he met his fate at last
--Enay not have sprung from morbid
feeling created by the real or imaginary
wrong committed by one he dearly
loved: for he seemed to court oblivion by
death.
Those who desire to crafty their Curl
osity further upon this Ito !nsl interesting
subject can doubtless collect many little
corrol1oratiye incidents from tie family OF
the late estiR1ablc old clerk Of the conrt of
Annapolis, Nicholas Brewer, who, though
dead for possibly 1t quarter OF a century,
was prioi' to his tIeat! continuously clerk,
for over sixty years. He was al earnest
and enthusiastic believer in the fact OF Ru-
lolph and Ney being one and the same
person, and, have understood, had COLI
lected a mass OF testimony in support OF
the theory. My Impression is that Mr.
Brewers son succeeded him Ms clerk, and
may possibly still occupy the position and
have memoranda made by Ills father dur
ing his lifetime.

Black Hawk, 1st dam Susan Jones BY Ash
land Chief (sire of Black Cloud, :17N
and Ashland Kate, 2:2931), son Of Nam.
brino Chief, (sire Of Lady Thorne, 2:1814):
I'd dam by Blood's Black Hawk; 3D. dam
by Tecumseh (paccr); lth dam by LOWS
Old Copperbottom (pacer). In short, there
are no better pedigrecs between the lids OF
stud hooks and when a horse is added
thereto, little else is needed. We will 60
a little further, however, and say, that the
dam Of Blood Chief was Miss Duncan, by
Scott's Highlander; 2d dam by Aratus, son
of Director, and 81 dam BY the great limo
leon, sire of Boston, whose blood has add
ed SO much to the reputation Of Maud S.,

It may also be noticed that Tmoleon was
a son of the ever to be remembered Sir
Archy, whose blood flows co~equal with
that of imp. Messenger, in the American
trotting horse. The dam Of Ashland Chief
was by imp. Yorkshire, a noted sire, once
owned by Mr. Clay; 2d dam the imp.
mare Florence, by Mulatto; Sd dam imp.
Florenstine, by the famous Whisker, &C.,
&c. It will thus be seer that Prospects
prospects, are tirst-class, to become not
merely a number one trotter, but sire Of
them ALSO Moreover, it should be noticed
that Prospect inherits size in u marked
degree, ;ss we'll as finish; for he is inbred
to Highlander, who impaired both, to re-
mote generations. Once through NAM
brino Chief his grandsre, and once
through Miss Duncan, his grandam.
Therefore We shall lock to see size dis
characteristic, with Prospects
colts. SO, we must remark in closing this
brief description Of one Of the finest speci-
mems Of equine form that ever left this city

mcGuLLacunnV AND RED CLOUD.
The Trouble the Sioux Ch1cfeaBM
Could 7a@Ae and his Reason
for Threatening Ii.

A man from Nebraska who ia stoppins
at a Broadway hotel said yesterday to :
San reporter; see there is trouble OF
hand at Red Cloud Indian Agency. L
has been brewing for a good. while. Il
may be adjusted, but if so il will be by the
display OF more diplomacy ti!an the Indiar
Bureau has shown for wears.
Red Cloud demands the removal of Nc
Gillicnddy tie agent. Do you know
what tlfat means? Er means thar nothing
else will satisfy old Red Cloud, and though
the old chief has been some time depnsed
he can, wI1tneFer he desires, secure the
following Of tWu-thirds of the fighting men
Of the band. He has the qualities to com
mand the respect Of All Indian buck. He
has hatred and contempt tor the whites
and their customs. He is opposed to any
step toward civilization. When the Sioux
chiefs came TO Wa hington, over four
years ago, he was i'll typical Indian cos
tune throughout. A plume Of feathers
waved at his crest, and Wheu the folds OF
his crimson blanket fell aside for i moment
they revealed the full Sioux costume.
Spotted Tail, tile Indian diplolnatist, who
appreciated the condition Of the Sioux
tribe, wore several articles OF white man. )
dress. His silk hat especially formed Il
rather ludicrous Contrast TO his Indian
blanket, leggiugs, and moccasins.
sWhen IN Indian outbreak occurs head
ed by Red Cloud, revenge Will be its main
spring. HeWill 90 out OF his way to pill
iage and massacre white settlements. !

TO sacrifice anything, even his own life,

were expected 10 cross Nebraska ut or near

We always take much pleasure III notic-
| ing the arrival Of blooded horses in our
city, and in this instance, the pleasure is
f0urfold, because well attested merit is
associated with the horse which attracted
our attention at the Chicago Driving Park,
even among the most celebrated flyers
that participated at our late trotting meet
ing. When q friend Invited us to go
around to one Of the boxes TO see young
stallion that had just come to our city, we
thought,e as we had often had occasion to
think before, that we were merely to see a
country horse whose owner might possibly
have more money than brains. Imagine
our surprise then, when q horse, grand
enough to wear roya5 robes, was led out
for our inspection. A deep rich satin-
coated bay, fully l6 hands high, q hand

MEN WHO WEAR BRACELETs.-T wear
ing of bracelets by men as well as by wo-
men is fashion Just now decidedly on the
increase I'm Europe. The Archduke Ru-
dolph. the Austrian Crown Prince, wears
upon his left wrist bracelet OF chainmail,
visible in photograph taken Immediately
after his marriage, and representing him
arm-and-arm with the Archduchess Ste
phanie. The late King Victor Emanuel
always wore massive bracelet containing
a medallion of st. Hubert, the same that is
now worn in memory OF him by his son,
Italy's actual sovereign. Austrian naval
officers are addicted to the wearing OF
porte-bonheurS in which are medals bearing
the efligy of st. Peter, while the bracelets
of imperial and royal artillery officers are
invariably commemorative OF St. Barbara's
piety and personal attractions. Rossi and
Salvini, the two great Italian tragedians,
being also excellent horsemen, have caused
broad bands of silver, framing medals OF
st. George, to be riveted upon their upper
right arms. 1t is believed that this brace
let-wearlng fashion has spread to England,
and has been adopted by more than one
distinguished parsonage.

Mr.. KEENEY's CAT JUMBO AND FORTY
DOLLAR SHlRT-STUD.-Mr. Abner c. Kee-
ney, Il Brooklyn millionaire, owns a cat
named Jumbo. 1t is small, of faded
black color, and without any striking
points OF beauty; indeed, meaner or
more unhappy-looking animal could hardly
be found. 1t will sit for hours curled up
In corner OF Mr.. Keeney's handsome
drawing-rOom without giving any sign OF
life, and lost apparently in gloomy reflec-
ton. About two months ago Jumbo was
found in the back yard of Mr.. Keeney's
house by his youngest daughter, and he
soon became a general fayorite. The cat
seemed to take a particular liking to Mr..
keeney, and was in the habit whenever an
opportunity offered Of jumping upon his
shoulders and skipping about him gene
rally. One evening during the early part
OF this month, as Mr.. Keeney was sitting
in his study enjoying his aiter-dinner
cigar, Jumbo made flying leap and landed
on his shirt-bosom. Mr.. Keeney did not
disturb the cat, and was surprised few
moments afterwards to find him in the act
OF swallowing one OF his $40 pearl studs,
Grasping the animal by the neck, he tried
to make him give up the stud, but his
efforts were in vain. Mr.. Keeney made no
further attempt TO recover his property.
From fat and playful kitten the cat has
become thin and feeble, and unless some
remedy is found will probably die.-Neu
