THE RRONCHO.
He is n Gentle Hooking Beast, But is

A broncho is a horse. He has four legs,
like the saw horse, but is decidedly more

mcnt and modest mien, but there isn't
real safe place about him. There is moth

All he asks is 10 lie let alone. but he does
ask this, and even insists on it. He is firm
in this matter, and no kind OF argument
can shake his determination. There is q
broncho that lives out some miles from
this city We know him right well One
day man ropcd him and tied him to put
a saddle on him. The broncho looked
sadly at him, shook his head, and begged
the fellow, as plain as could be, Ia 90
away and not try to interfere with
hroncho who was simply engaged in the
pursuit Of MS own happiness, but the man
came on with the saddle and continued to
7-gress Then the broncho reached ont
with his right hind foot and eNpostulated
with him so that he died When thorough
ly aroused the hroncho Is quite fatal. aud

and ~ omen worship.

Nm. II. Vanderbilt pays $500 year for
Tcw in st. Bartholomew Church, but
this does not imply regular attendance.
The Astors are also Episcopalians and
attend Trinity Chapel, which is am up
town branch of Trinity Church. John
Jacob, Sr., is n member of Trinity cor
poration. which is the highest honor this
Church can confer on a layman. The
Ciscos are in the same Church communion,
and the founder Of the house was also a
member of Trinity corporation. Russell
Sage calls himself Presbyterian and at
tends John r. Paxton's Church, which by
the way contains a number of rich
families. Horace B. Clafin is one of
Beecher's best supporters, but does not
pay as heavy pew-reut as in former days.
Cyrus W. Field and all that family are sup
posed to hold to old-fashioned orthodoxy,
of which their father was preacher, but
their residence in this city has not
strengthened the religious character of
the family. The Harpers are fashionable
MethO1iSts, and 50 was Daniel Drew, who
was a liberal contributor until he got
cleaned out, and then his broken promises
led to great dsappointments Jay Goulds
folks were also of Methodist turn, but
jay Gould himself has no time to waste
in church-gOing. He showed his idea of
improving the Sabbath by calling on
William H. Vanderbilt one Sunday even
ing to arrange for mutual cooperation in
the Western Union movement Gen.
Grant was one of Newman'S pillars and
his illness had been a serious injury to
that disappointed pastor.
Mrs. Commodore Vanderbilt attends
the Church of the Strangers, whose pastor
Deems) owes his present Independent pO-
sitiOn to her patronage. She was the means
OF his acquaintance with the Commodore,
who bequeathed him $4,000 in cash and
also the life use of the church in which he
now breaches. Mrs. +. u. Morgan is
member of the Brick Church Presbyterian
in which her husband was for some years
the chief pillar Mrs \. T. Stewart is q
member OF st. Marks (EpiscopaD Church,
where her three children are buried. Her
husbands remains were stolen from the
same vault nine years ago and have never
been recovered. y sarcOphagus, how
ever of great beauty and cost, has been
Hampstead for the merchant prince, and
1t is a small matter whether his beneS
are there or not. Mrs Stewart will even
tually be buried in the same place with
similar houors. Miss Kitty Wolfe, who is
also Immensely rich. and liberal to a cor
responding degree, is a member of Grace
Church, which has enjoyed her benefac-
tlOnS in an uuStint eel manner.
Miss Harriet LenON is a member of the
Presbyterian Church, Of which her father
was an elder and her brother james a
trustee. She Is the sole leCatee of the
estate and keeps up her brothers method
of silent ana hidden charity. Mrs. Robert
L. Stuart is also a Presbyterian, her pas
tor being the eloquent John Han, who has
the richest CONGREGATION in America. Mrs.
Stuart inherited, without restriction, the
entire wealth accumulated by her husband
and his brother Alexander and hence it
Is expected that she viii make some very
