Foats of a Noted steeplechaser.

One of the most enthusiastic of the
German steoplechasers was Lieutenant
General Rosenberg. Heis now fifty five
years old, but, up to ten years ago, he
had no superior rs rider on the Con-
tinent Nearly every bone IN his body
has been broken at one time or another,
and last year he rode in race, came a
cropper and broke his arm. Among the
friends of his younger days was Count
Fritz Metternich of Austria, with whom
he had many hot contest over fence
and wall and ditch. One day, in 1866,
General Rosenberg, then captain, was
out on patrol with three or four men,
when he met an Austrian patrol, and
recognized its leader as his old friend
Mettcrnich. The latter wheeled about,
and, putting spurs to his horse, galloped
off at racing speed. Rosenberg followed,
and after hot chase overlook the fugi-
tive, but instead of taking him prisoner
or putting him down, he increased the
speed of the Austrian horse by prod
ding him in the flank with the point of
his sword until he got tired, when he
turned and rode back TO his regiment.
The incident created a laugh among the
racing men in both armies, and is still
told in the clubs of Germany for the ed
ifcation of the rising generation. In
1865 the General was Mt Breslau, in 81
lesia, and made bet one night that he
would leave that city on horseback at
the same time that the express train left
and arrive in Berlin, 400 miles away,
before it. Relays of horses were station
ed along the route, and he won the bet,
arriving some time ahead of the train.
That evening he attended the circus,
where he was recognized by the people
and received with a cyclone of cheers.

Romance of a Spool of Thread.

The engagement between young Mr..
Coates, the son of the famous Coates, OF
Paisley, Scotland, the big cotton manu-
facturer, to Miss Clark, daughter of the
equally wealthy and famous American
manufacturer, of Newark, n. j., has a
charming bit of romance about it. For
years the houses of Coates and Clark have
been at bitter loggerleads, and COM
mercial warfore of considerable dimen-
sioDs has ragged constantly between
them. Some little time since it entered
the head of the Coates pere that little
diplomacy might possibly put stop to
the absurd and bitter feeling existing
between himself and his rival in Ameri-
ca, and so he sent his son to this coun-
try. armed with an olive branch and full
powers to patch mp the difference be-
tween them. How well young Mr..
Coates has played his part it is not
necessary to say. The immediate out
come Of the engagement is, however,
little unfortunate for the public, as the
price of thread has been advanced, "to
meet the expenses of the wedding, as
Mr.. Coates himself facetiously put it

taken place an hour before in the
