him down the beautiful Shenandoah valley
that day to Winchester, 90 miles away The
last heard of the old veteran was from
Sheridan himself seven years ago. He said
that all the sightseers who came to see him
in Chicago also wanted to see his horse.
So he arranged for private views of the gal
liant old steed. All went we'll for awhile,
until the groom noticed that every time
lady came into the stable the horse grew
nervous, although he did not mind gentle
men at all. He observed, too, that the
horses tail was growing smaller every day.
He put this and that together, and the next
time lady came to see the horse he watched
her carefully. When she thought herself
unobserved the lady pulled one of the long
hairs out of the animals tail and carefully

said to her, but the horse was Immediately

The Stone Of Scone.

Tradition relates that the second stone was
brought from the hill Of Tara, in Ireland, and
placed in the Minister Of Scone by Kenneth III.
The Irish claimed to have received it by mira

upon which Jacob slept at Bethel, carried
thence by his sons when they went into Egypt,
and conveyed by the daughter of Pharaoh and
her Greek husband to Spain. Upon il laws
Were given. and from it justice was admins
tered. 1t seems now to be regarded as the
emblem of justice, loyalty and natural perpct-
uity.l
Did you ever hear of the curious throne
Where the monarchs Of England are crowned.
Beneath whose seat is the stone Of Scone.
Ancient and sacred and world-renowneds
'Tis only battered oaken chair.
Massive and ugly, vet once 1t shone,
With colors and gliding. wondrous fair.
And all because of the stone of Scone.
In the Abbey of Westminster ii stands.
Four couchant lions its sturdy feet.
And treasure. and lives. and goodly lands
Were the price Of the relic beneath itS seat.
Plantaganet Edward, of his line
The first and bravest at Dunbar
Nanquishcd his Scottish foe. lang svnc.
And the stone of Sconc was the spoil Of war.
And nearly six hundred years have sped.
Since the chair in Abby's isle found room.
And the race of Edward are all dead

And where are the roses. red and white:
And the Tudor plumes and the bonnet blue ,
And stalwart Cromwell. the Roundhead knight !.
And William Of Orange, brave and trucs
One by one. in the centuries flown.
Sitting a space in that ancient chair.

They have sworn TO he lcal to England there.
And one by one they have put aside

And king and commoncr. side by side,

The Consul and His Wife.

A Bishop who had just been appointed to
"a missionary see in China wished to pay a
visit of ceremony to the 'irao-tai, or Chinese
official who was in charge Of the city which
was entrusted to the Bishops spiritual care.
As the British Consul, who was to accom-
pany him, would be in uniform. the happy
thought struck the Bishop that it would be
well for him to appear in his episcopal robes
and lawn sleeves. This was carried out, to
the great bewilderment of the Tao-tai, who
had, of course, never beheld anything simi-
lar. He treated his visitors with the usual
Chinese politeness, and talked to the Consul
about the weather, but could not avoid
gances of curiosity at the strangely dressed
being at his side. Next day an Englishman
who had business with the Tao-tai made his
CALL and was thus addressed: "The Consul
was very polite and amiable during the Wis.
it he paid me yesterday; hut, tell me, why
did he bring his wife Why did he bring

The City Council.

The city council met last night in special
session, and attended to several matters.
The chief question before it was that Of
granting the right-of.way and privilege to
Mr.. Bell for his company to put down bois
dare pavement on Main street. The
privilege was granted, and Main street will
be paved from point east of L. l..
Marsalis' store TO Webb's jewelry store.
The question provoked considerable discus
sion, and several aldermen. as well as the
mayor, gave their views as to street i'm
provements. The mayor came out boldly
IN favor OF street paving, stating lat in his
opip '.vr the time had now come when the
, city should embark in this enterprise. The
vote stood five to three, the ayes and nay.
being called.
The HERALD learns that some Of the
property. on Main street, along the
portion proposed to be paved, have not YET
put themselves down, and 1t is urged that
| they do so at once. This will be fair tes
OF the paving question, and it is hoped nj
property-owner will be lacking in lioerality
and enterprise, now that the project is 81
well on foot.
