Yesterday morning Mr. ". L. Paul,
who lives in Manchester, showed the re-
porter Cleveland rooster. This rooster
differs from all others. 1t mas all its
faculties peculiar to roOsters, IS be.
comingly formed, has ears just like all
other masculines Of the hen family, but
here is the uniqueness of this particular
bird. 1t has horns. Back of each ear are
horns an inch in length.
The owner Of this rooster declines TO
sell II, although he has been offered a
large price by Snowman. lie says that
every time it crows ii distinctly articu-
lates the names of Cleveland and Thur

THE CITY PASSENGER RAILWAY.
MIR. Charles Selden to be Retained as super
intendent.

The reorganization of the City Rail
way is exciting great deal of interest.
A reporter called on Mr.. w. r. Trigg.
president of the Union Passenger Rail
way Company, who, it seems, Will have
a considerable voice in the conduct of
the property, and, while not committing
himself, he stated his belief that Superin-
tendent Charles Selden would be GER
tainly retained in the service Of the COM
pany.
1t had been thought to employ "a gen
tleman from Brooklyn, hut Mr.. Trigg
thinks the new owners will not with
stand the, you may say universal, re-
quest OF our citizens for Mr.. Selden's
retention. Being asked about the
other employees of the road, Mr.. Trigg
said where they had been faithful they
would certainly be preferred TO Others.

Equessrianisna In Paris.

The number of good riders who appear l daily in the Bois de Boulogne Ia well-known I French authority on sporting matters has | been telling representative of Galignani's several years back. Among those frequently 1 seen when the weather is fine in the Alice 1 des Poteaux and in the Avenue des Acacias, I may mention the aged Mir. Mackenzie Grieves of French equitation, who, notwith- standing his eighty years, is sure to show himself on sunny afternoons going slowly l up the Avenue des Champs Elysees on 8 are Prince d'Henin, Prince de Sagan, Mar quis du Lau, and Count de Gontaut-B -Biron. A little group of horsemen, who meet ire quently at the entrance gate of the Bois, is
 known as the "Boulanger Cavalcade." It consists of the famous General and his three
 friends. Count Dillon, NJ. Arnaud de
 PAriege, and VI. Feuillant, all good riders.
 however, better riders than the two others.
 Gen. Boulanger does not appear at his best
 astride horse. He has solid seat and that
 is about all that can be said of him. Nor is
 his famous black horse so remarkable an
 animal as one would suppose, after all that
 has been written about 1t, and his friends
 are persuading him to exchange 1t for 8
 better one. But it is especially French
 ladies who have made marked progress in
 eouitation. Each year the battalion of horse-
 women increases at the Bois. Among the
 most daring are the Duchess d Uzes, Couns
 Pillet-Will and the wife of Gen. de Roth
 willer There has long been much talk of es-
 tablishing at the Bois de Boulogne @ riding
 place somewhat resembling Rotten Row. With this object in view Prince de Sagan has
 had several interviews with the municipal authorities; but so far nothing has been
 done to satisfy the wishes of Parisian eques- trians.

WHAT THEY DID.


 The result of yesterdays voting was doubt less a surprise, even to those who planned it. It is not at all probable that they expected to see their plans so completely successful It was 8 revolution, brought about by causes too numerous to mention, and some of them 1t would perhaps be better not to mention.
 It is long time since we have had Repub-
 lican mayor, too long, for Republican mayors are very apt te be good found that good one has been chosen. MT. Peck will fill the office to which he has been so cheerfully elected to the satisfaction Of the citizens. He is man of ability, of sound judgment, tactful, and gifted with common
 sense. He has the esteem and the good will of all the people, and he deserves them. We congratulate him and the city on his abund~ ant entrance into the office and it's honors. Major Todd also reached the goal in good
 shape. He will administer the affairs of the town agents office with
 thorough honesty and discretion, and before
 his term is out the people will be glad that
 they elected him. There are other interest ing features of the voting for the town and City tickets which we cannot now refer to.
 The voting for the ward tickets was re- freshing and significant. It has been long
 since so many good Republicans were elected to the Court of Common Council. The Re-
 publieans will have good majority on joint ballot.
 We congratulate everybody-those who were elected, and those who will not have to un- dergo the cares and Sexations ot public office. And ve especially congratulate the quiet voters, who can now have peace for awhile
