WELLINGTON AND HIS HORSE.

A writer in London Notes and Quer.
les relates the following incident as
having occurred at the coronation OF
George ": The Duke of Wellington,
who at no time of his life had been an
expert rider, having to act as lord high
constable of England for the day, and
IN that capacity to ride beside the
hereditary champion of England, took
wise precaution of hiring horse from
Ducrow's amphitheatre. The duties of
the lord high constable and lord high
steward we4h 10 ride upon each side OF
the champion, and after the latter had
received the gold goblet from the
hands of the king, to back their horses
the whole length of Westminster hail
to the door. This being an unusual
movement for horse, the duke took
care that his steed should be diciplned
day by day TO retrograde with proper
dignity. The intelligent animal learned
his lesson only too well. The cham
pion appeared, accompanied on one
side by the lord high constable, on the
other by the lord high steward, the
Marquis of Anglesey. What was the
horror OF the spectators, and what
must have been the condition even of
that iron soul, when the duke found
that his well trained horse considered
it part of his duty to proceed up the
hall towards the kings chair of state
backwards

To lift up body and mind,
To waken the deaf and blind.

You stand in the pride Of youth,
Strong in courage and truth
Stirred BY a force kept back
Armed with power threefold

AN AGE OF PORTRAITS.

History VIII 30 Easily Traced by the
Present Rage for Illustrations.
There never before was time in the
history of the world when the making
of portraits was so much in fashion as
at the present. The ease with which,
by the aid of the innumerable phefo-
graphic processes, a portrait may be
produced has of course done much to
foster the custom, and the fondness OF
the readers-Or at least of the publish.
ers-Of the present generation for bi6g-
raphy has also encouraged the m&k ing
of pictures of the people written about.
There has at the same time been some-
thing that might be called revival OF
the ancestral portrait craze, and every
body who could compass it has felt
obliged to do what he could to provide
his descendants with set of portraits
of their ancestors.
Theillustrated papers and magazines,
too, have done much to increase the
number of portraits. The picture OF a.
prominent man is at once the most obvi-
aged illustrations that can be found
and for the past twenty years these
periodicals have been increasingly full
of this sort OF work. The pictures have,
Of course. been of all sorts and kinds,
and from the gray and slovenly pro-
cess plate to the finely executed en-
craving or etching, and they have been
full OF all degrees OF nearness or remote.
ness in the matter OF likeness, but II
any body has failed to have a clear
idea Of the personal appearance of any
public character it has not been from
lack of copies of his counterfeit pro-
sentiment.
The collection of portraits has by
this state of things become one of the
easiest and most satisfactory OF all the
innumerable varieties OF collecting that
has yet been invented. One is able,
with so little trouble and at so small
an expense. to bring together col.
lection OF portraits that are really in
teresting and not wholly uninstructive,
that il is a pleasant and not very ardu-
Gus form of amusement. They may be
arranged in so many different ways,
moreover, that one may at any time 60

Polite Hypocrisies.
There are sayings which reflect
somewhat on humanity. such as: NO
man Is hero to his valet, stFami
liarity breeds contempt distance
The parporf OF these aud other
proverbial sayings is that men and
women carry on y sort Of iaasaueFade,
and that when the masks are removed
and close inspection possible, it il
seen that all is not gold that glitters.
The Frenchman who was asked why
he did not marry the lady at whose
house he called so often, replied:
Marry her, Why. where. then should
! spend my eveningsp" And so hus-
bands and wives who have been made
such BY the illusions Of social inter-
course have some singular enlighten-
mcnt when the illusions fade under
the cold touch of daily contact.
But If people could ever abiure
Alterations and be honest. there would
be great dimfnution OF disappoint-
'ments. The reason why SO many fail
under close inspection is that they can
not keep up always their little the
atrical business, and those who have
been deceived regard them as frauds.
Society largely encourages number

Polite hypocrisies have conventional
standing but the real homage is given
to truth.
In the business world, where men
deal with one another, it is dangerous
to be sharper" and in the social
world the counterfeits who are ever
lastingly protesting to be what they
are not, and acting parts foreign to
their nature, ought to be ridiculed out
OF their incessant humbuggery
The familiarity of frank and genuine
bearing will not breed contempt
amongst genuine people-the only
ones whose. opinion is worth any
thing; and no right man will pose as a
hero to his valet That is not the
relation between them, and il the
valet holds him in disdain there is a
flaw somewhere in his character and

the presence of two kinds OF batteries,
one wet zinc-iron element and the
other dry zinc-iron element. The

1.3 volts, and the internal resistance
only 2 Of an ohm. These clocks re-
