Cellars Fun OF Foxes.

A letter tothe New York Sun, dated
Christiana, Penn, says: Fox hunting
in this part of Lancaster county is
carried on, not for the love Of having
q fox torn to pieces for his brush, but
to capture the foxes alive until each
hunter has cellar full. The packs Of
hounds to be found in these parts are
as good as the best in the land. Their
equal can rarely be found at bench
shows.
John Graham lives short distance
from here in thehills. He is a veteran
fox hunter, nearly 20 years old. He is
better known as Johnny Grimes, and
his hounds are well known all over
the hills. From his early manhood he
has always kept large pack Of feet
fox hounds, and every winter he has
taken hand in chasing Reynard over
the hills. Any morning one of his
welI-trained dogs, in the hunting sea-
son, can jump fox, and a good days
sport follows. The foxes are holed,
caught with twitch, and then brought
in triumph home, with the yelping
pack at the heels of the horses. The
foxes are put into the cellar and kept
there. Thrust be bad season indeed,
If when spring comes a veteran hunter
can't count dozen foxes in his cellar
ready to be turned loose to the hills.
Recently large white-tailed fox
was started early in the morning. and.
after splendid chase, Johnny Grimes
captured the animal at o'clock, and
took him home in triumph, where he
Joined the other captives in the cellar.
The twitch with which the foxes are
captured is loop of wire, string. or
other material, which is run in toward
the fox, and at which he bites and
snaps until he gets fast and is pulled
out by the jaws or front paws
In the spring the captives are let 60
again. one each night.
Old man Skies Is another veteran
fox hunter, and during the winter he
always has q cellar full of foxes cap
tured with his fleet pack. These
hunters are in the best Of health. not
withstanding their years. They are
fine horsemen, and ride over stone
walls, streams, and fences with all the
dash Of cavalrymen.

Mr. Arthnr.s rntnre.


Magnificent law offices in the Mutual In-
suTanco building in New York, for Mr.
Atthur's uso and that of bis firm, are now
nearly completed. President Winston of
the Mutual Insurance Company is warm
personal and political friend of General
Arthur, and he has been holding these
offices open for nearly year, refusing all
offers for them, although the lease does
not begin until May. lt is understood that
it is the retiring Presidents intention to
settle down to the quiet practice of his pro
iession, not appearing personally in n
courtroom, as it is not considered in good
taste for an ex-President to do so, but to act
as counsellor and assume general charge Of
the office business of the firm.
Before he became President, Ma. Arthur
was member Of the firm of Arthur, Kne-
walls S Rorsom. On taking the oath of of
flee he severed his connection with the firm.
1t is presumed that he will now return to
the old alliance, though Mr. kuevals said
yesterday that nothing had been decided
upon. At the building it is fully under
stood that Mr.. Arthur will occnpy the
rooms leased to this drm. The offices are
on tho fourth floor and on the Liberty street
corner They adjoin the rooms Of the
Chamber Of Commerce on one side Of the

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND introduced some
innovations at the White House yesterday.
The Executive Mansion has scarcely ever
witnessed so early breakfast, and the Ii.
brary, usually controlled until noon by
the sweepers and housc-cleaners was the
scene of an industrious gathering composed
of the President, his private secretary and
stenographer at an unprecedentedly early
hour. In addition to this, Mr.. Cleveland
found time to receive everybody that
wanted to see him, and to show the public
that their wishes were as important as his
convenience
AS If this were not enough for one day,
Mr.. Cleveland taught the dgnifed marshal
that intIoductions at q public leveo are
meaningless and senseless formality, and
that he would receive the thousands of
callers without presentations A President
who is an early riser and hard worker
and who regards convenience aud common
sense as better guides than time-honored
CUSTOM etiquette and precedent is indeed
a surprise. The first day Of the new Ad-
minstration was one of surprise at the
White House, but one that gives the utmost
satisfaction to all concerned.
