The White Horses Of Hanover.

lu an old tile-roofed stable. looking as
old and antiquated as the Schloss, it.
self, on the palace grounds, stand ten of
the wbltest horses l ever saw in my life,
They are of certain breed which has
been the property of the Hanoverian
state for many, many years. From the
increase the purest white and the most
perfect in build and form are retained to
keep up the stock, while the remainder
are sold. Just what use is made of
these animals does not readily appear.
For they stand there all day long in their
sweat-smellipg stable, doing nothing but
eating. From want of exercise they
have become like confined wild animals,
uneaslly swaying back and forth, from
side to side, and, no doubt, praying an
equire prayer for romp over grassy,
ttowery meadows, where halters, stalls,
curry-combs, and grooms are unknown.
As one stands looking at these poor
beasts and observing their uneasy move
ments, like the ceaseless swayings OF the
elephants in the circus, and listens to
The groom as he seriously tells you that
they are regularly exercised one full
hour every day by being led about in
the stable-yard at the end of sholt
halter, one realizes the fact that even
royal horses, supported at the expense
OF the state, though they may be, do
not have very joyous time of it.

ENGLISH IGNORANCE.

The New York Tribune says that n
cooling occupation for this warm weather
is that of reading of the wonders to be
found iii the United States, as reported
in the London papers of the last two
weeks. A car, for example. constructed
to advertise tho products of G olorado is
now making progress through the east
ern states. 1t is of large proportions.
The foundations are blocks of ore full of
the precious minerals, while above is a
temple constructed OF gigantic stalks of
Indian corn, vegetables and fruits. The
car is shunted from one railway to az
other, and is followed by admirir g
crowds. Iu another paper we lealn
that rncst of the steam engines on the
Pennsylvania Railroad are now con-
structed in the shape of enormous men.
lone of these iron giants, with fire
belching through his nostrils, is indeed
a terrible object" we are told. The one
story it cannot believe is that of the
crop OF wheat a foot high in Kentucky
upon which n storm of sleet fell SO
heavy that each lump of ice dragged a
stalk of wheat out of the ground, and
the entire crop doated out into the Ohio
and down TO the Gulf. The one story
it cannot believe" is true one, and
happened during the great Ohio flood
this year; and yeer or two ago such a
car was sent over the railroads to ex-
hlbit the products of Kansas, not Color

contemporary history of its own coun.

A Connecticut Mans Way.

lfrom the Bristol Conn Pressl
mat was a sorry-looking procession
which marched in Plainville from the
direction of Forestville on Wednesday.
The procession consisted of two men.
one white man. Charles H. Green. of
Fo1estville, and the other black man
streaked with red wlo had the ap.
pearance of being run through corn.
shelter. The explanation of this thing
was that Mrs. Green, while walking from
Pialnvllle to Forestville, along the rail-
road, was overtaken by strange negro,
who grossly lnsulted her, and at last at
tempted to seize her. She escaped and
ran until she reached tho shop where
her husband was at work. Green did
not wait to summon constable and lus-
tIce, but proceeded at once in search of
the villain, and sooH overlook him on
the railroad track, and at once proceeded
to execute the law upon him in due and
ancient form. No knight of olden times
had ever performed the work of protect
ing injured innocence better than he: in
fact, the darky, whose name is John
Milford, was pummeled until the light

The Spanish ROYAL Scandal

A Madrid newspaper, El Globo, has
been lncontlneptly suppressed for al
lndlng to the royal scandal which has
separated the royal family of Spain.
Mention has been made of the fact that
the high-strung queen gathered up her
babies the other day and went to join
her indignant mother at a German spa,
"all along of " the kings bad behavior.
Gossips who have been in Spain recent
ly have great deal to relate concerning
young Alfonso in the role of gay
Lothario. The dispatches the other day
referred to the woman who has ensnared
his majesty as "a member OF the royal
circle" 1t might have been inferred
that the Delilah was Spanish noble
woman of high degree, but the fact is
she is only a beautiful and dashing cir.
cus-rider--a member of the " Cirque
Royale . in Madrid, and not of the royal
circle. The lady's name is La Senorita
Carmen Fuentes. She is native of
Andalusia, and is known among the
dudes OF Madrid y as "Nuestra Car
mencita." The passion of the young
king for the fascinating rider has been
raging for something like six months.
She occupies handsome villa in the
suburb of the city, and it is said that
the bold monarch has been in the habit
of driving to the place on. pleasant after
moons in the eye of the world and spend
ing his time there as though the lady
were mis- lawful spouse. .Nuestra Car
mencita rides no more in the royal cir
Gus, but there is royal circus in the
kings household.

POPULATION OF LONDON.

Some Interesting facts in regard to the
population of the city of London are
Just accessible for the first time by the
publication Of the final results of the
census of 1881. 1t will be remembered
that the English census is taken all
at once, and that the figures given
Show the number of persons who slept
Oh certain night in each house, parish,
town and county throughout the coun-
try. But by this process the city of
London loses much of its apparent i'm
portance, for the actual residents in
the city are not numerous. According
ly a day census of London was taken
soon after the imperial night census,
and the result is very curious. The city
covers an area of 6GS acres, which is
not far from the original area OF Boston
proper. Its night population at the
time Of the census was only 1,429.
But by day it is swelled to the large
number OF 26l,0Gl. 1t thus appears
that more than 100000 persons enter
the city for the purpose of business
every day. The whole population of
all London is, or was in 1881, 3,s16,4 4s3
This number of course is that of per-
sons who slept in London on the night
the census was taken. It would be
largely increased were the day figures to
be ascertained, but not in the same ratio
as that of the city of London proper.

both amusement and instruction; and

ing, indeed, is even now rapidly spread

working class, and this is in itself an en-
couraging sign; but the reading is often
SO low in quality, SO little able to amuse
or instruct, that the benefit obtained
from it is but triiiing in comparison with
what it ought to be. Workipgmen read
the newspapers, and thus become ia
miliar, to a certain extent, with the
course of affairs throughout the world; (;
but the quality Of the newspapers they
often read shows ut once the poorness of
their literary taste and the meagerness
of their information. Besides the news.
papers, their principal reading is fiction,
and this rarely OF the best; while OF the
vast stores of information, historical,
biographical, scientific, and other kinds,
which English literature contains, their
knowledge is in general OF the most

A Shock of SUNRISE

A New York letter says: The Egypt

us alongside the big ship and all hands
prepared to board her. My turn WIGS

ladder piercing Shrek rang out on

ments of the conversation, which my
friend afterward explained to me. The
gentleman who accompanied us on the
tug was the husband OF the woman who

barked together with their little child,
on board the Egypt from Liverpool.
The steamer stopped at Queenstown,
and the gentleman going ashore to make
some purchases was left behind when the
Egypt put to sea again. The state of
his wife's feelings can better be imagin-
ed than described. But his only fear
was for her safety. Like the lost man
in the catacombs, she knew where he
was, what puzzled him was to find the
others. While debating what he should
do, the City of Rome stoppeda at Queens
town and he took passage for america,
arriving several hours before the Egypt.
So it happened that he quietly came
down to meet his wife, who, supposing
him thousands of miles away, mistook

AMusEMENrs FOR THE POOR

In the course of an article on the
above subject the Century says the
amusements of the working classes are
often of O. low and even Vulgar kind; ard
one OF the greatest improvements in
their life would be the adoption of some
more refiued enioymeuts in place OF the
vulgar shows, the trifiing sports, and
the lusipi1 reading in which they now
indulge. tits true that, in this respect,
the whole American people need refining
and elevating, and not the working
classes alone, for many of our richest
men show little more ability to amuse
themselves in atetined and sensible way
than he workingmen do. But the rich
can, in a pscuniary sense, better afford
to throw away money Gu uurefned
amusements and vulgar display than
workingmen can, for their means are
sufficient to admit of sotut waste; where
as the workiugmen, if they are to get the
greatest possible happiness out of the
means they have, must studiously avoid
all expenditure for things of no value, or
they will have nothing to spend for those
finer pleasures which are so much better
and more enduring. There has been of
late years, we are glad TO say, con-
siderable advance 10 this respect among
the workinsmen. seen especially in
their increased attention to music, ART.
and to the cultivation of flowers; but a
yAsS deal more remains to be done to
raise the smusements and recreations Of

HASTE.

The old maxim of "plenty of room
at the top" seems to be very misleading
to ambitious young men in these days.
In business and art and letters it is the
same-all are in a hurry. The.top looks
inviting, but they forget that other
maxim, "There is no excellence without
great labor" and their "perseyerantia
omnia vinciP receives cold bath when
they cannotbe Accommodated with cusb-
loned seat and shot to the top in an ele-
vator. The boys do not want to begin
like their fathers, at the bottom and
climb the rounds of the ladder. They
are in hurry for riches and honor and
fame, and this very hurry places this
generation behind the past in solid
thinking, Notwithstanding the great pro-
sress we are making in all material
things. The sooner young men and
women are impressed with the thought
that all their future depends upon them
selves, that they will gather just such
fruit during life as they choose to engraft
during their formative period of life, the
better it will be for the country,
