Half "a dozen of us stood at the door of

There was considerable comment ON his

lPolttene.. in Cores.

From the Home Magazine.
The natives in the east who have become
familiar with Foreigners and their GUS
toms take very readily to the custom of
caliing-and cating-on New Years day.
and one lady had a very peculiar expc-
ricnce with n native official i'm Seol last
year.
She was keeping 'open house, and
had made some preparation for receiving
her guests in the proper manner. Among
other things, she had prepared with her
own hands u very excellent cake, which
she expected to distribute i'm little hits to
all who might favor her with a call. A
party of2native gentlemen arrived and,
having given one OF them n cup of tea,
she placed this fine cake before him.
with an invitation to- help himself.
She then went with the Others To
another room. and was gone some time.
When she returned she saw To her horror
that her beautiful cake had all but disap-
pears-d down the throat of the poor fellow
who had tried his hest to do the polite
thing according tn his country's
customs and not leave any of the
food set before him. thus showing his APP
probation of the hosts hospitality and
table. The lady's vexation was banishcd
by II feeling of COMMUNICATION for the mis-
erablc man, who seemed to be very much
i'm need of an emetic just then. IL IL said
this call was his first aud last on that day,
as he declared to IA friend that Foreigners
must bc all stomach IL they could go from
house to house and de Justice to the hos
pitality of each.

An Aristocratic Bookbinder.

There is no law against a man bind
ing his own books if he has a taste for
such matters. Anyway, he ought TO
do the tooling. The necessary irons
and paraphernalia take up very little
room. Now, there's Cobden-Sander
son, the English gentleman who ma
nipulates petits ferS with such skill. He
was possessed of considerable means,
and had been content with the ordi-
nary, do nothing life of a country
gentleman until the studyof economies
led him TO the persuasion that it was
the duty of every man to learn and
practice q craft. Al the work shop at
tached to his house at Hendon he
turns out some very beautiful, if some
what too ornate, specimens of the
bookbinder's art. In the stitching and
other phases of his work he is assisted
by his wife, to whom he owes his
double barreled name, she being a
daughter of Richard Golden. This
amateur binder, now we'll known
through his lectures and contribu-
tons to technical papers, is described
as a small, eifeminate looking man,
with clean shaven face and hair part
ed in the middle, as enthusiastic in
manner as nc is poetic in appearance.
When he lectures he takes of his coat
and dons a workman's apron. The

Her Heavy Ennffalls.

A clever actor was playing the role
of the heavy william in an u~nslccess-
full melodrama. and although the
house was half empty, he was working
as hard as he could at the only good
scene in the play. He had just finish
ed the consultation with the low COM
edy william, which occurs IN all prop
erly conducted melodramas and had
spoken the cue for the heroine's en-
trance; AWAY She comesl | hear
her footsteps" AS he made this
speech the property man accidentally
dropped a sixteen pound shot down
the staircase which led TO the dressing
rooms. There was a succession of de-
hberate crashes, which somewhat re-
rembled the footsteps Of a giant, and
the audience saw the ludicrous side Of
the situation at once.
The actor stood rooted 10 the spot,
bursting with suppressed laughter
and not knowing what TO do. The
leading lady was unfortunately some
what stout. and, on hearing the noise,
refused 10 make her entrance, vowing
that the whole thing had been ar
ranged for the purpose Of insulting
her. Entreaties and threats had no eff
feet; she remained obdurate. and the
curtain had TO 10 rung down and the
audience dismissed. The leading
lady left the company the next morn.

Court Pageants.

Paris has not witnessed any very
splendid pageant for more than twen-
~ years. Parisians who remember
the display Of Napoleon III when, in
1867, be was visited in turn by nearly
every crowned head in Europe, and
by at least one Aslatic p~otentate, can
find nothing that has taken place since
10 equal L. Francois republican, and
since the downfall Of the empire has
become less ostentatiJus.
Ii used TO be the boast Of Spain
hal the court of Madrid was the only
great court of Europe. Madrid es sola
corte, tho Spanialds used proudly to
declare in their musical tongue; but
the glories Of thu old Spanish court
have pretty niue passed away. There
is still a more stu and rigid ceremo-
nial, indeed, at ne Madrid palace than
IN any other. and a host of royal SER
want pass daily through a strict rou-
tine; but even coronations and royal
baptisms are performed with far less
brilliancy of ceremony than formerly.
Rome rarely witnesses a great royal
pageant, while it is deprived, TO some
extent at least, of the stately parades
made by the pope and his cardinals
when he was the temporal ruler Of the
Eternal City.
The German pageants of the modern
day are, for the most part, great mill
tary reviews and maneuvers, designed
to set forth the armed proves of the
empire, and the same may be said Of
those of the Austrian court. Troy

A Grand puke,. Tragic story.

The car of Russia's second brother,
Che Grand Duke Alexis, now nearing
his s0th year, is not married and will
probably go unmarried TO his grave.
Few persons recollect or realize the
conjugal tragedy that marked the
early years of this intelligent and
handsome prince. He fell in love,
long years ago, with a young lady at
tached to the household of hismother,
and, like an honorable man, he made
the woman that he loved his wife.
The fact of this marriage came TO the
knowledge of his father, who at once
caused the young couple TO be sepa-
rated by the full exercise of his des-
potic authority. The grand duke was
sent Of on a voyage round the world,
his marriage was annulled and his wife
compelled by threats of Punishment
10 Siberia and total separation from
her child, a boy of extraordinary
beauty and engaging qualities, TO con-
sent 10 a second union with an obscure
physician. By this a all posi-
BILE reunion with her royal husband
was'rendered impossible. The subse-
quent marriage of Alexander ii 10 the
Princess Dolgourouki, though onlya
morganatc one, might, you will think,
have taught him a little human feel
ing toward his son, and that sons
wife and offspring. In this tragic
story, il is said, is to be found the true
reason why the Grand Duke Alexis,
though legally unmarried, has refused
all negotiations for a royal alliance.
After the marriage of his younger
brother, the Grand Duke Paul, he will
be the only single one among the
brothers of the reigning zar.-Paris

Two VERY OLD SNAKES.

Old Pom y Has q LIVELY Brush with
Twp .~attlers. and Kills Them.
Pomr = Hooper, an old colored far
mer, is a great coon hunter, and, in
company with two others, he started
out on a big hunt. Several raccoons
were caught, and the trio, after having
hugely enjoyed the sport, were pre-
pairing 10 return home when suddenly
the dogs bayed again. Approaching
near TO where they were barking, the
three concluded, as they had their
guns with them and were tired OF
chopping down trees, 10 want until
daylight and shoot the game. As it
was only a short while until dawn, a
fire was accordingly built, and while
his companions produced a deck OF
cards with which TO while away the
time Pompey stretched himself ON the
ground for a short nap.
Somehow the old fellow could not
sleep, and after a short while he
picked up his gun and lighting a pine
torch he walked over to where the
dogs were. Instead of a tree and q
coon, ne found the hounds scratching
and tearing up the earth at the base
of a hollow rock. Thinking that some
animal had taken refuge in the bowl
der, he jammed the blazing torch into
the crevice. The old negros terror
was great when, instead OF the growl
which was expected, he heard ter
rible rafting, such as experience a
taught him the rattlesnake gives only
when about TO strike. Pompey's fight
with the deadly reptiles last year had
left an impression on his mind, and
he was preparing 10 run when, as he
saws, "One Of the biggest rattlers you
ever heard of slid outen' that hole an
Jumped at me. He would o got me
shore, but one O the dogs grabbed his
tail an gin il a flirt." Just then an
other snake, bigger than the udder,"
crawled out and made a leap for Pom
pey, who fetched him a swipe with
the torch" and then grabbed his gun.
By this time the first snake was rat.
Ting and striking, and, with one hand
holding the torch and the other the
gun, the old negro blazed away" but
missed. Steadying himself he took
better aim and fired the second time,
and with better results, for the rep
tiles head was torn completely Oft.
At this moment the other snake struck
Pompey's foot burying its fangs in
the toe of his shoe, but luckily so near
the end hal no damage was done.
Again the pine torch came down, and
this time on the snakes head. That
ended il, and as the old negro's COM
panions came rushing 10 the scene
they found him carefully examining
his foot, hardly able TO understand
that he had escaped unhurt. If what
the darkies say is true, and Uncle
Pompey is one of the wealthiest and
most reliable colored farmers in the
county. the two snakes killed were
the largest and oldest of any of their
kind ever found. They say one had
forty and the other thirty-six rattles.
As a snake is 3 years old before q rat.
tie appears, and as one is then added
for each year, one was - and the
other 80 years of age.-Chicago Jour
