Two Gentlemen.

| saw two gentlemen OH q street~car
lately. One of them was grown up. He
was handsomely dressed in gray busi-
ness suit, and had very neat kid gloves
and fine boots. The other was about I2
years old. His jacket had several
patches and needed more, and his shirt
was of brown cotton and not very
clean. DO you wonder how | knew he
was q gentleman? | will tell you.
The boy went through the car to give
some message to the driver. AS he re-
turned, he gave little jump through
the door, and as he did SO his bare foot
touched the crowns gcntlcman's knee,
and left a little mud on it. Turning
around on the platform, he raised his
straw hat and said very politely, in a
clear tone, please excuse me-" Then
the other gentleman bowed in his turn
just as he would have done to one of hi,
own age, and said with plcasan
smile, "CCrtainly."

"The Duchess of Edinburgh is said to
be more than ordinarily clever and cul-
tivated," writes Adam Badeau in tho
last of his papers on aristocracy in En-
gland "From those admitted to her
intimate society havo heard that sho is
better informed in politics than many
women in Europe in any sphere. She
reads the newspapers OF all countries,
including those of America; she Is nc.
quainted with the position of parties in
the United States, knows the names and
history of our public men, and oan dis
cuss the measures important here with
greater facility than many of our own
country-womon who think themselves
well informed. If this is so with re-
gard to democratic America, of course
It is so with reference TO European

No less than $4,000 has been spent

made with diamond drills to the depth
OF 1850 fcct-thc deepest drilling ever
done. The object was to get q true es,

= Ode to the Buffalo Girl.

VIII tho Buffalo girl come out tonight
And dance by the light OF the moon2
On tho elevator tower 1t fickers bright,
The lunar orb OF June
And an underfcd poet can dance as light
AS q fay in silver shoon.
o Buffalo girl with the wealthy pop,
And tho ilour-mlls huge and high
There's wonderful charm to which poets drop
In your tender azure eye;
! could rhyme for you with nevcr q stop
TO the saccharino by-nnd-by.
o Buffalo girl, your great big lake
Is duck-pond beside my heart,
Ihnt throbs and thrObs till it's nigh to break
- Ana Ills you that have caused 1t smart.
y rise and give the ctcfnRl shake
TO the fatc that keeps us ap,lrtl
o Buffalo girl como out Tonight
And clopc by the light of the moonl
And Wagner cur shall MD our flight,
AS we skip meath tho sky of June
And your parents will probably do what's
right,
And come down with tho scads full soon.

A large publishing house states that
it generally employs as readers men and
women of culture who themselves have
done literary work; sometimes a lawyer
who finds time from his professional
duties TO give attention to literary pur-
suits, or doctor similarly situated, and
sometimes n woman of refined cduca-
ton qualified to do the work. When
any manuscript on scientific, medical
or special sub jcct is handed in, some re-
cognized professional man in that par
ticular is engaged. Nearly all writer's
bear part of the expenses of the first
edition; all now writers do. 1t is fact
not generally known that Longfollow
paid within a small amount Of the total
cost of production OF his first volume OF
poems, and James Russell Lowell paid
all the expense of his first work.

borse Department.

The Middlcbury REGISTER now Tor more
than year has been giving much original
and valuable information upon Morgan and
other celebrated horses. II intends to con
tinue publishing such information from week
to week, giving at least page to its Horse
Department. when sufficient material has
accumulated we expect to place 1t in book
form, publishing first our volume upon
the Morgan Horse, and afterwards Reg
lister of the more distinguished sires and
performers. In the latter we hope to include
all 80 performers, with their breeding, so far
as can he ascertaincd; also to distinguish be-
tween things that are known and things that
are not known, in every pedigree. In all cas-.
cs the evidence upon which the pcdigrees are
based will be given to the public through the
columns of THE MIDDLEBURY REGISTER. This,
we are satisfied is what the public wants and
ought to have. Many judgments are better
than one.
THE REGISTER by reason OF this extensive
information and this method OF giving it, is
rapidly becoming Indispensable to all breed
ers and horsemcn. 1t should also be an eX-
ccllent medium tor advertisers, especially
those dealing in Morgan horses.
Preserve your files, tor they will form, with
the fun indexes thereto, IL most valuable and
available cVclopcdia OF horse matters.

Size of the Eirst Mntch.

At first the watch was about the size
of dessert plate. 1t had weights, and
was used as a pocket clock The
earliest known use of the modern name
occurs in the record of 1852, which men
tions that Edward VI had zone larum
or watch of iron, the case being like
wise of iron gilt, with two plummets of
lead" The first watch may readily be
supposed TO he of rude execution. TIE
first great mprovement-the substitu-
ton of springs for weights-was in 1860.
The earliest springs were not coiled, but
only straight pieces of steel. Early
watches had only one hand, and. being
wound up twice a day. they could not
be expected to keep the time nearer than
fifteen or twenty minutes in twelve
hours The dials were of silver and
brass; the cases had no crystals, but
opened at the back and front, and were
four or five inches in diameter. A plain
watch cost more than 800, and, after
one was ordered, it took year to make
it.-Brooklyn Eagle.

been heretofore given, and Mr.. Pinchon
of Fort Edward, n. Y, who helped to
break Black Maria, all agree that she was
three years old the spring after Jennings
got her of Wainwright. 1t will be re-
membered that the deed shows that
Locklin Wainwright bought the farm of
Jennings, toward which the mare was
that Black Maria was foaed in 1880
1t thus appears with reasonable GER
tainty that William Wainwright bought
this gray or roam mare of Erastus Dart
about 1923; that she was then fifteen
years old or more; that after few years
he bred from her a roam filly that was the
dam of Black Maria; and it is extremely
probable, and almost certain. that this
tilly was foaed in 1927 and got by IIar-
vey Gale's Arab. Also that when this
tilly was seven years old she was bred to
Iale's Young Cock of the Rock and pro-
duced the mare Black Maria, foaled in
1885.
This enables us to state with we'll
grounded confidence the pedigree of the
dam of Young Columbus, as follows:
Black Maria, bl. m, foaled 1888. bred
by William Wainwright, Salisbury, Vt.
sired by Young Cock of the Rock, son
OF Barnum's Cock of the Rock. by Duroc.
by imp. Diomed; dam by Harvey Yale's
Arab. son of the Bingham Horse. by
Jones Dey Of Algiers, by imp. Dey of
Algiers, Arabian.
That this Dung Cock of the Rock was
the sire of trotters very speedy for that
time is well known in this region. Mr..
Robbins Battell's Polly, got by this
horse. was "A well-known queen of the
road. able to trot better than three
minute gait to buggy. and was pur-
chased by him on account of her trottng
speed, to be bred to Black Hawk Mr.
Philip Battell of Middlebury kept her
several years.

was owned in Cornwall. near Shoreham.

THE DAM OF ALBRIGHT.
From the American Cultivator.

After publishing W. II. II. Murray
statement of facts last summer concern
ing the dam of Alright. sire of George
Lee (2:23 10, We received a call from
Alexander II. Goode, an experienced
horseman, who was superintendent OF
Mr.. Murray's Connecticut breeding farm
at the time Alright was produced. Mr.
Goode remembers the dam of Alright
perfectly well, and describes her as a
dark brown in color, standing about l5.2
with rather large head, heavy ear, full
intelligent eye, neck Of medium length
and we'll cut up under the iowls, long,
slightly-roached back, high in rear of
coupling, long hip, large, fiat legs and
splendid feet. Her tail, though good.
was always carried low. Her coat was
remarkably beautiful, as fine as satin.
She was rather clumsy animal, Meth
er noted for trotting speed or action,
went very low and lacked style. She
was once hitched to moving machine
and showed considerable grit. She was
undoubtedly very plucky animal but
was rather coarse in her makeup, and
required considerable feed to keep her in
condition, being one of the kind known
as "washy."
In 1871 Mr.. Murray sent four mares in
charge of George Norton to Taggart's
Abdallah, at GotfstOwn, y. II. They
were known at the farm as Gypsy, Gull
mare, Katie and Nell. the latter being the
dam of Alright. In 1872 Gypsy brought
a bay filly. The others proved barren
and Nell was returned to Taggart's Alb
dallah the following season, 1872. In
1873 she brought the colt now widely
known rs Alright. Mr.. Goode is posi-
tive that this mare must have been at
least nine years old when Alright was
dropped. In describing the mare he said
that her head was IA perfect picture of
Rysdyk's HambletOnian, and if she was
not representative of the IIambletonian
family, she was the best imitation that
he had ever seen.
This mare raised four foals, one of
which was by Morgan Abdallah and died
young. Another is the stallion Essex
Boy, by Star Lambert, son of Daniel
Lambert. In 1850 or 1881, she met with
an accident while running at pasture in
Connecticut, from the effects of which
she died. Her owner at that time was
Miss Ida +. Hull, now Mrs. John Nc
kean, New Haven, CT. DIR. Sullivan of
New Haven was called to see her at the
time of her injury. We met Mr.. w. ii.
IL. Murray at the Vermont Breeders
meeting, at Rutland, VT, and he again
expressed his belief that the mare which
brought Alright was daughter of Rys-
dykf Hambletonian. lie bought her of
Mr.. Gomez as such, and she bore so
strong resemblance to the get of the
old Hero of Chester, that expert horse
men who visited his farm at Gulford.

concerning the form, style, speed, action
and road qualities of this gray horse,
which must be accepted as the sire of All

Mr.. AlanSon Wainwright of Brandon.
VT, now in his 18th year, another son of
William Wainwright, says: 81 remem-
Der Black Maria. The Dart mare was an
iron gray. Father owned after that a
light gray or white mare. had then
got to be quite boy. 1t was not this
mare that he raised colts from. | do not
think the light gray mare was from the
Dart mare. think the Dart mare had
two colts, one of which was a mare; this.
think, was the mare that brought the
colts.
81 think the black mare my brother
Locklin had was by horse that Harvey
Yale had, but | cannot say what horse.
My impression is that when father let my
brother have the black mare she was in
the neighbOrhOod of three years old, not
over three. She was a tall, rangy colt. |
think she was by Yale's horse because
father used his stations a good many
times.
"Ihe bay mare that my father kept
afterwards passed into Locklin's hands
and he kept her till she died.

mother and grandmother. He never refused aught except to himself. That man who had so many enemies was not his enemies enemy. Two days after the coup d'etat he thought of the amnesty. He read Les Chatiments' without faltering in his admiration of Victor Hugo. He desired to enrich Lamartine another dream. He forgave the acts of treachery of those who surrounded him, be- cause he made allowance for proportion of evil while he wished that good should pre- 5ail. People spoke of his leaden eye and even of his stupidity, which was at one time Iegen- dary, but beneath mask of impassiveness he concealed the fire that consumed him. He was hardly ever the man of action guard at the gates of the Louvre as at the gates of France. As has been said, he be- lieved in his star, in the superior govern ment of things. Bossuet puts it. That man who loved adventure and feared noth- ing bore not audacity on his face. At first sight he was not thought capable of filling an important part. He was small, e-walked badly, he did not shine, nothing about him appeared endowed with life, neither his hair, nor his eyes, nor his mouth. Yet when speech or smile animated him, you felt that he was man. On horseback particularly he broke his bonds and acquired some majesty. At the table, too, he looked well, for he was all bust. When he donned his uniform he had the air of conqueror No one doubted his bravery. In that strange life of his one scarcely detects here and there his will, so much did he waver between yes and no. But he. stopped short at the sketch, not being gifted as are the masters of the world. Hence his personality, which he wished to be glorious, will remain in haf-tint; history will only devote to him pages wherein the shadows will cover the light"
