Tie Art Of Ridinx.
From the New York Mail and Express

From the New York Mail and Express.
5. a few evenings ago reporter was
passing by we'll known riding acade-
my, when he was arrested by the sound
of music coming from within the en-
closure Entering he saw large COM
pany Of ladies and gentlemen riding
through the figure Of a quadrille to the
music of string band. The sight was
novel and very striking, and while he
fingered he engaged in conversation
with the manager.
"The ring is occupied very nearly ev
cry night by private classes such as you
now see,'' said he "They are former
pupils of the academy. They grow
tired of the opera, theater, dinners,
etc., but their equestr1anism is never
neglected"
"What style OF how many styles OF
riding prevail here?"
"The style we like best is the park:
though Of course many desire to acquire
the English cross country style. Ike
park is the easiest and prettiest for
smooth roads. With the park seat, the
horseman rides with q long stirr,p and
from the ball of the foot. The cross
country seat, on the other hand, makes
the rider send the foot home in the stir
rup, which must therefore be short
stirrup. He throws the legs forward
and the body backward. It is much
effected by the more competent horse
men. Fancy riding is also greatly in
dulged in. Leaping and jumping have
come into favor too, and I think we
shall soon have as many artists in the
saddle in this country as in England"
-"Do ladies learn to ride more easily
than gentlemen 2"
"They learn more readily and become
more proficient. This is in consequence,
I think, of the side saddle used. A
lady has firm hold of her saddle not
only with her leg, but she has the pom
mels for her hands if necessary. A
gentleman has not. 1t is quite anus
ing sometimes to watch q 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 q moderately fiery hcrse."

son to ride?"
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 q uiet horse to ride. As he
learns to sit on his animal the degree Of
the temper of the animal is increased
until he finds himself astride regular

the fall is as nothing. You see the tan

The Art 81 Story-TelIinr.

Some people seem personally fitted
for effective story telling. George Hen
~ Lewes was one such. Those who
We're familiar with him have often re-
marked the vivacious sparkle Of the eye,
the peculiarly telling action Of the
hands, and the self-possession with
which he would fascinate convivial
party. Anthony Trollope it was, if we
are not mistaken, who once said that the
very clothes he wore seemed somehow
to contribute to the effect of his good
stories-his velvet coat, and his neat
slippers, and the rest of it, all worn
with that air Of easy unconsciousness
well calculated to enhance the points Of
his narrative. That Inconsistencies,
by the way, is great matter in personal
narrative. There are some who
are prevented from ever telling a
story we'll by their anxiety to do
so. They appear to be as
much concerned for themselves as
for the success of their tale Their own
manner and choice Of language and the
impression they are making on their a,l-
ditors, are plainly distracting their wits
and diverting a great part of their pow
.er. A good story-teller will always be
found to be one who is himself too deep
in his own enjoyment and asareciation
of his tale to be at all conscious of any
thing pertaining to himseH. He enters
into the thing too fully aud too entirely
to be concerned with the criticisms
which may be passing upon his person
al appearance, or language or manner.
Anything like timidity or nervousness,
or self-consciousness is fatal to that
freedom of manner which is always
principal charm of really successful
tale-tellers, and in all such narratives
as observant travellers have to tell upon
their return home. A ready flow of
language is, Of course essential to success
in this line Nothing is more unpleas-
ant than to have to listen to long nara
tives which seem continually on the
point OF breaking down for want Of
words, Or which are told in words that
continually prompt the listener to in
terruption and criticism which polite
ness, nevertheless forbids. A pleasant
voice, too, is e. great point, though not
by any means invariably indispensable.
There are times as every one must have
observed, when some harsh incongruity
Of voice adds immensely to the effects
of story just in the same way as the
personal appearance of a narrator may
greatly influence it's success. Lewes
was generally allowed to be anything
but q handsome man, and it was in
great measure what some would call
did call, in fact-his very ugliness
which often lent immense force to his
utterances. An odd or unpleasant vein
may do precisely the same thing, giving,
perhaps, soupcon of acidity to what
would otherwise be found fiat and in
sipid, or a drou turn to points which
would be tame and dull if told in a
smooth and faultless tone.-London

The Author Of MY Maryland"

Washington Letter to the Philadelphia Record
James R. Randall, the gentle author
of that fiery war song, Maryland, My
Maryland, is one of the most delight
full men in Washington. You find it
difficult to believe that this quiet, liberal,
broad-minded man wrote that narrow,
passionate appeal. Hewas very young,
however. He is young still, but wiser
and broader. He has come to that
point where he is willing to admit that
that disagreeable Characterization,
Northern scum," in the last stanza was
simply put in for sake of the rhyme. He
would not write such song now. Yet
he copies the old song again and again
in response to requests that come from
the four corners of the earth. I saw q
true copy of it yesterday. It is rarely
printed correctly. It is generally man
gled in quotation, and it is always multi
ated in the newspapers. I hear that
Mr.. Randall contemplates gathering it
and half a hundred other lyrics in q
volume to be published shortly.

Profits OF Dairy1ng.

This experience, taken from an ex~
change, may be Of interest to some Of
our readers:
During the past year he has MIXED
sixteen cows, five Of which were with
their first calves. They are all from
fve-eights to ffteen-sixteenths Jersey
cattle. In figuring up his last years
business he discovers that from the six
teenth COWS he has made 1856 pounds
of butter, an average Of nearly one
pound per day for every COW fed, for
which he gets from 80 to 40 cents per
pound the year round. His contract
with the largest buyers is 80 cents, but
others come along now and again and
have to pay the retail price gotten BY
large buyers, viz: 40 cents; hence,
after paying for packages and express
charges, the butter for the year has
netted him "a cents per pound.
"A little figuring will show that he
has made his COWS, in milk, produce
him fraction over 1920 per annum
pretty good value for three or four
good mich COWS. Being asked how he
fed them he replied: I feed my COWS
on grass all through the summer, but
when they come to be MIXED, always
give them good feed Of dry bran, CON
sisting of about one gallon. In winter;
however, when grass is short and some-
times not comeatable, he keeps his cows
pretty close to the stable, allowing them
exercise in going to and coming from
water, and feeding them on chopped
sheaf oats moistened with water and
mixed with bran and crushed corn and
cob meal. Two-thirds Of this mixture is
composed of chopped sheaf oats, the re-
mainder of bran and corn and cob meal"

tie, imported in 1883 by Herr Harris
and McF erran, took place at Louisville
Tuesday. Fifty-six head were disposed
Of, bringing 800, averaging 1914
apiece.
The editors of those agricultural jour
nails who took stock in the recent false
reports Of foot and-mouth disease in
Kansas must feel ready to groan with
vexation and shame when they see how
they have encouraged the English pa
pers to redouble their efforts to keep
our cattle out of their market. Thus
far their foolishness has greatly injured
the very interests they were expected to
protect.

warm, repeating the dose every two or

Mr.. T. G. Jones, another correspondent,
and according to their experience, the
remedy has never failed, though fre-
