A Professional Drinker.

/ came across professional drinker
the other night. You never heard of
such q thing? Nor did till i had it
pointed out TO me and explained. 1t
was at the Licderkranz masquerade.
The great bar-room of the Academy OF
Music was crowded, and it always is
when the auditorium is in use for nota-
bic dancing. A man took a seat at one
of the numerous tables. and ordered
whisky. The waiter started away to
fetch the drink.
"Say, here the man called in loud
but not boisterous voice, 'let it be Tor
rido whisky. and none other"
Torrido was not the name, but that
suggestion Of fiery liquid is better 10
write than the one which he was adver-
Using. Yes; this was professional
drinker, in the employ of leading
whisky manufactures. It was his busi-
ness TO order this particular brand of
whisky in public places. He was n
well-dressed, middle-aged man. who
looked like u competent Judge of bever-
ages, and quite able to hold n consider
able quantity without losing his gen.
tlemanly bearing. When the liquor
was brought he talked to the waiter
again as to his strong preference of
Torrido, which he declared to be the
only whisky worth drinking. An hour
later he was emphatically demanding
Torrido ut the bar, and again he held
an argument on the subject with y
chance acquaintance in the midst of an
overhearing hundred. There is moth
ing that folks are so exacting about in
their ignorance, said the friend who
explained the professional drinker to
me, ethan in the matter Of drinks.
The slightest thing will set man to
ordering special brand. There is no
telling how many fellows are now spec
flying Torrido for no other reason than
they heard this man mention it at the
Liederkranz ball. He no doubt cost
the firm $50 that night, altogether; but
how else could they have done somuch
effective advertising for tho same
money!" But how much will it cost
the professional drinker? Perhaps his
death in an inebriate asylum?-Nesu

The Art OF Riding.


A few evenings ago. a reporter vas
passing by well-known riding acad-
envy when he was arrested BY tho sound
of music coming from within the inclo-
sure. Entering, he saw a large COM
pany of ladies and gentlemen riding
through the figure of quadrille TO the
music OF string band. The sight was
novel and striking, and while he lin
gered he engaged in conversation with
the manager
1.-The ring is occupied very nearly
every night by private classes such as
you now see," said he. "rhey are
former pupils of the academy. They
grow tired of the opera, theatre, din.
ners, etc, but their equestrianism is
never neglected"
"What style or how many styles OF
riding prevail hereP"
"Tho style we like best Is the park,
though Of course many desire TO ac-
quire the English cross-country style.
The park seat is the easiest and pref
test for smooth roads. With the park
seat, the horscman rides with a long
stirrup and from the ball OF the foot.
The cross-country seat, on the other
hand, makes the rider send the foot
home in the stirrup, which must there
fore be short stirrup. He throws the
legs forward and the body backward.
1t is much affected by the more COM
petent horsemen. Fancy riding is also
greatly INDUCED in. Leaping and jump
ing have come into favor too, ana
think we shall soon have as many ar
fists in the saddle in this country as in
England"
"Do ladies learn to ride more easily
than gentlemen"
"rhey learn more readily and be-
come more proficient. This is in con-
sequence, think, of the side-saddle
used. A lady has firm hold of her
saddle not only with her leg, but she
has the pommels for her hands if nee
essary. A gentleman has not. 1t is
quite amusing sometimes TO watch a
beginner turn out his toes drop his
bride, and try to hang on with his
heels. If you want to prove that man
is the most awkward and ungraceful Of
all animals. put him on moderately
fiery horse"
as it not very difficult TO teach q
person to rideP"
The art of riding must be acquired.
The seat and style are all that have to
be taught. We have English, French
and German TEACHERS. The novice is
first given quiet horse to ride. AS he
learns to sit on his animal the degree

Cannon.SIaking In the United States.

Save an experimental gun, at long
intervals, this country has made no
cannon since the war. The immense
private plant at South Boston, where
two cannon week were east during
the most active period OF the rebellion,
has lain idle. The same may be said
of the only other plant in the country,
at West Point, n. Y, where cannon
can be made. England has its gov
eminent cannon foundry at Wool
witch; Germany has Krupp's inn
mense works, at Essen, guaranteeing
TO him so much work each year and
further supporting him by exempting
large part Of his army of workmen
from military duty. The United States
has had only unfulfilled promises with
which TO keep these two plants in read
mess for the emergency which might
ut any time come. 1t is due to the pluck
of the company that the cannon works
in Boston have not gone to decay, but
are to-day tho most complete of any in
the country, and fit, even, to compete
with foreign foundries. And yet no
cannon have been made here for six
years; in 1877 large twolve-inch rifle,
weighing cighty-four tons, was cast for
experimental purposes. Com
