srnr,crous Esorsemanship.

a st. Petersburg correspondent, writ
ing to the London &dHd0J'd, says: ''This
morning l witnessed wonderful display
of hCrsemanship. lt took place in the
Petrohsky Park. Here, in the presence
of the Grand Duke Nicholas, and most Of
the foreign officers and guests, the regi-
ment of Cossack Guards went through an
extraordinary series Of exercises which
threw the most daring feats Of the circus
into the shade. The entire regiment
passed ut full gallop, in loose order, with
many Of the men standing upright in
their saddles, others upon their heads
with legs in the air, many leaping upon
the ground and then into the saddle again
at full speed, some springing over their
horses heads and picking mp stones from
the ground, and yet regaining their seat.
While performing these feats all were
brandishing their sabres and firing pis-
tolls, throwing their carbines into the air
and catching them again, and yelling like
maniacs. Some men went past in pairs,
standing with leg on each other. horses
-one wild fellow carried OF another
dressed as woman. The effect of the
scene was absolutely bcwildering, and it
seemed rs if the whole regiment had gone
mad. Upon a signal being given. the
regiment divided into two part1. One
rode off; then halted and made their horses
lie down on the ground beside them,
waiting as in war the approach Of the en-
envy. The other section Of the regiment
then charged down, and in an instant
every horse was on his feet, every rider
in his saddle, and with a wild yell they
rode at their supposed enemy. When the
manGuvres were over, the regiment rode
past, singing, and ubeommOBly well to-
ge.her, military chorus. Altogether it
was a marvellous exhibition of daring
hOrsemanship, and one hardly knew
whether TO admire the docility and mettle
of the steeds or tine skill and courage Of
the riders. Al the foreign officers and
guests were 10 less astOnished than de-
lighted"

in North Carolina when he first ran for
Congress. He said he had never been in
that settlement and didn't know the boys.

Gerry, and he got down and hiiched his
horse and began to make their acquaint-
ance and crack his jokes around, and
thought he was getting along pretty we'll
with them, but he noticed an old man
with shaggy eyebrows and big brass spec
tacles sitting on chunk and marking in
the sand with stick. The old man didn't
seem 10 pay any attention to Vance, and
after a while Vance concluded that tho
Old man waS bell.wcthcr of the flock aud
that it was necessary TO capture him, so
he sidlel rp close to him and the old man
got up aud shook himself and leaned for
ward on his stick and said solemnly:
"Ths is Mr.. Vance, believcg'
"Yes, sir" said Vance.
"And you have come over here TO sec

Yes, sir" said Vance, "that is my

"NEell, SIR" said the old man, "arorc

"Ccrtainly, sir, certainly" said Vance,
"What church might you belong tog"
said the old man. ... .t
That was sockdologcr-Vaucc didn't

ligion and meeting was big thing in the
blckwoods and controlled their politics,
but he didn't know what their religion

spotted. But he squared himself for tho
responsibility, and says he: "Well, now,
my friend, will tell you abnHt that, for
It is fair question. or course il Is. Well,
YOU see, my grandfather came from Scot
land, and yo,I know that over in Scotland
everybody is Presbyterian" Here he
paused to note the effect, but saw no sign
OF sympathy with his grandfather.
"But my grandmother came from Eng
land and over dlere everybody belongs To
the Episcopal Church." He paused again
and the Old man marked another mark in
the sand and spit his tobacco away OF.
"But my father was born in this coun-
try in a Methodist settlement, aud so he
grew up Methodist" Still no sign Of
approval from the old man, aud so Vance
took his last Shot and said: "But my good
old mother was Baptist, aud It's N"

The old man walked up ana taking him
by the hand said: Gwen, you are all

& lSurnin. Esush Of This Day.

There is remarkable tree or shrub In
small gulUh near some springs about
twelve miles north OF Tuscarora. IL Is
about six or seven feet IN height, with u
trunk which ut It's base Is three times the
size Of mans wrist. II has innnmcraBlc
branches and twigs, and resembles sone-
what the barbcrry tree. But It's rcmarka-
bic characteristic is It's foliage, which at 4
certain season Of the year Is 50 luminous
that il can be plainly distinguished IN the
darkest night for the distance OF more
than mile, while In its immediate vicin-
ity it emits sufficient light to enable a
person to read the finest print. It's foliage
is extremely rank and its leaves rcseln-
bles somewhat IN size and shape and color
Of those OF tLe.aromatic bay-trcc Of Cali.
forna. The luminous propcrtyis evident.
~ parasitic aud consists Of sort Of
gummy substance, which, upon being
transferred by rubbing to Il persons hand,
imparts TO it tho same apparently phos-
phorcscent light, while that on the leaf
entirely disappears.
The Indians regard IL with superstition,
and vii not approach II even IN the day
time II they can possibly avoid It,. They
have a name for it, which, literally inter
prctcd, signifies Switch tree" An old
ShOsIione informed the writer that there
were only two others in the entire conn-
try, but the closest questioning failed TO
elicit the slightest information in regard
to their localities. He would only shake
his head grdYely and calculate, 'Bad med

SHEPHEROWN JEFFERSON COUNTY WEST VIRGINIA. FRIDAY SEPh
Sorrows signal.

Fast 10 the front door knob il hung,
A snow-white, silken bow,
And ftful wiutry breezes swung
It's streamcrs TO and fro.
The le;ter-carrier on his round
The futtering sign deserted;
Ills heart recalled little mound;
He turned away and sighed.
The signal caught q womans eye;
Into her face there crept
A look Of grief; rs she went by,
She bowed her head and wept.
The g!eefuI children, on their way
To school, the ribbon saw;
At once they hushed their noisy play
And gazed around in awe.
"Stcp softly, please, and shout no ihore'
\ little maiden said;
"Step lightly going past the door,
The little babv's dead
The peddler, shouting loud his ware
In tones discordant, shrill,
Observed the fluttering ribbon there
And suddenly grew still.
A tender look passed DER his face,
4 tear shone in his eye;
He checked his horses noisy pace
And silently went by.
A man of books, sedate and wise,
Passed on to take the train;
The silkcn signal met his eyes.
He stopped in sudden pain.
The meaning of the sign he read
That in the breeze did play;
"God keep my little one, he said,
And, signing, went his way.
y wealthy banker passed the spot
Its tale the ribbon told,
And for a moment he forgot
To think OF stocks and gold.
His heart recalled baby face,
BY kisses oft caressed,
A tiny form in creamy lace
Laid long ago 10 rest.
Thus men their brotherhood reveal
The common heart within,
When they that touch OF nature feel
THAT makes the whole world akin.
