ing q stout leather strap attached to MS
brass-studded collar, and instead of being
led by his Young mistress, whom he adores,
he must submit to following the poodle,
which holds the end OF the strap in his
mouth and hauls the bulldog about where
ever, or whatever place, he wishes. There
is something humorous in this alone II only
looked at correctly, but its natural drollery
had higher effect added to it when the
bulldog discovered large Newfoundiand
dog iollowing a child on the opposite side OF
the street. He attracted the attention OF
the poodle to the Newfoundland, conveying
to his guide BY what looked almost like
sad smile and wink that he desired to
cross the street and make the Newfoundland
do tricks. But the poodle was sage and
peaceable animal, and he refused to allow
the bulldog to depart.
INTO OPEN REBELLION.
At first the latter obeyed the mandate.
but he suddenly grew rebellious and stopped
short, pulling the poodle clear about and
indicating that he intended to interview
that Newfoundland. For an instant the
poodle endeavored to hypnotize the bulldog
by the superior concentration OF his dlcta-
torial eye, but to no avail. The other was
surly, and that he contemplated an open
mutinv was presently noticeable to the on
lockers. he dragged lne pOoule dcrosS bho
street toward the Newfoundland, and despite
the TACT that the faithful dog sat souarely
down, and bore the chafing of the pavement
with heroic equanimity, it was plainly ap-
parent that the bull would sooner or later
reach the Newfoundland unless something
interfered to prevent
That something presented itself In the
shape of the handsome young owner of the
dogs, who happened to glance over her
shoulder at the opportune moment. She
took in the situation at glance, and with
a graceful bound she was out among the We
hicles to avert the calamity pending. The
beautiful black poodle was by this time lying
fat with the bull still pulling him over the
ground, thereby despoiling his immaculate
fur, but not quelling his determination.
The instant the bulldog recognized his mis-
tress, standing above him with a short whip
upraised in her hand, he covered down and
shut his eyes to receive the two sharp raps
that fell over his shoulders. Then he looked
at the poodle meekly, took sorrowtul
glance at the retreating Newfoundland,
and announced himself ready to be led
quietly on as before. The poodle shook the
dust out of his curls, dropped the strap just
long enough to bark at the bulldog as though
in reproach, and then taking up the strap
again led his vanquished prisoner along al
the heels Of the pretty girl.

dark, piercing eye met her tender blue one
fairly and alphabetically. The look that
he saw there evidently deprived him some

Auliffe not only jabbed him quite success
fully and with discouraging repetition in
the face, but once he landed punch in the
soft part of Mr.. Madden's stomach that
caused the handsome gladiator to double up
and gasp in rather an awkward manner
This aroused every bit of pity that the fair
and worshipping maid in the box could feel,
and with quivering lip and eyes that looked
in the glare of footlights as though suffused
with tears, she tore bunch OF pansies from
the bosom of her dress, and, leaning forward,
threw it boldly straight at Mr.. Madden. It
struck him in the face. and he lunged ont to
meet his antagonist, who he thought was at
tacking him.
Upon realizing what had happened the
gallant Mr.. Madden stopped for the flowers,
cast radiant look of gratitude at the blush
ing girl who threw them, and then, after
lifting them to his lips, fastened them into
his belt. From that time on the contest
was his. In the two following rounds he

victory from the band.
TwA DOGS.
A great deal of humor can be extracted
from the small incidents of the street, il
they are viewed with genial eye. There
is a robust and fair-faced girl who possesses
two very excellent dogs, one of them a fine
and famished- looking white bulldog and the
other a sleek and elegant black poodle,
shaved after the most approved designs and
braceletted in silver. There is one peculiar
feature about these two dogs, and it consists
of the relation borne by one to the other.
The bulldop suffers the ignominy of wear

A Roman Pio of Lead.

20 inscribed pigs of lead have been found in
various parts of the Roman Empire, of which
46 have been found in our island, and a few
of the others-for instance, one lately found
near Boulogne-may have been the product
of British mines. Some bear the Roman
Emperor's name, others the Eames OF pri-
vate individuals, probably the lessees of the
mines. The title may be expanded: Cali
Iulii Proti Britanicum Lutudense ex ar
gento-that is (the lead ot, c. Julius Pro,
Ius, British (lead) from Lutude, prepared
from silver. C. Julius Protus was the cap
italist who worked the mines, and the mine
itself was at Lutuda, place which was
probably in South Derbyshire. The lead is
said to have been prepared from silver, be:
cause the silver was always extracted, AND
the more valuable metal gave the name.

modsh women would not think of going to
the disreputable beer garden in which she
performed, but would only look at her
when she was brought into their respectable
presence; but now, in their always adventur-
Gus spirit, the swells have taken partial
possession of that usually tabooed resort.
Every night they make up parties and sit
in the rows of boxes that fill the galleries,
witnessing the stage variety show in which
Carmencita is feature, but interested still
more in the slum scene spread out in the
auditorium below. A crowd is there smok-
ing, drinking and chattering, rarely paying
much heed to the performance, and present
ing a spectacle which well-behaved ladies
seldom get the chance to see. This is
curiously bold demonstration of "our best
society,"" and it serves well as climax to
their town season of exploits.
DOVE sKETCHING PARTY.
A coterie of more artistic young ladies, of
whose doings I know, but who are less in
the public eye than the McAllisters are, will
soon go the Catskills on a sketching expedi-
tion. As a preliminary, they have read the
descriptions of the mountain scenery there
in Bryant's poetry, Cooper's novels and
Irving's tales, under the guidance of Prof.
Boyesen, of Columbia College. Thus pre-
pared to seek out and appreciate the Catskill
scenery, they will make their headquarters
for a month at the Kaaterskili Hotel, in the
center OF these famous views, and will de-
vote fair share of their time to sketching
| them. That seems like an un frivolous and
excellent enterprise, and the party con-
cerned in it are the daughters of some of
our rich nabobn.
Anything to kill time. Anything to lift
| the heavy weight of ennui or brighten the
dull life of boredom. French betting" is
the name of a new game just introduced
| into certain New York circles. Each guest
receives a slip of paper, on which to make
six bets, writing them out and signing the
slip. Then the lady OF the house gathers
them up, and proceeds to decide the bets,
keeping the name of the bettor till the end.
| Now, the bets must relate to something per-
sonal or peculiar about those present and
be something that will require considerable
aplomb to verify. For instance: bet that
Miss B. has false teeth; bet that Miss G.
has the smallest feet in the room; bet that
Mr.. A. does not dare show the contents of
his letter case; bet that Mr.. d. has the
largest bald spot; bet that Mrs. J. has the
smallest waist, etc. French betting
promises to become favorite game.

TIE ROMAN LEAD TRADE.

An Inscribed Pig Recently Found In England
and the Story it Tells.
London Illustrated News.]
In January last a man plowing in field
called Rowdales, adjoining ''The Cliffs, 4"
near South Cave, on the old Roman road
leading to Brough, East Yorkshire, the
Roman station where ferry crossed the
Humber, came upon a pig of lead, measur-
ing % inches in length, 81 inches in
breadth, ~ inches in depth, weighing 9
stones pounds, which bears the following
inscription in raised letters: C-IVL-PROTI-
BRIT-LVTEX-ARG. A portion of the
block appears 10 have been cut of, but for.
tunately without detacing the inscription.
An account of it having been submitted to
Mr.. Haverfeld, a well-known authority on
Roman inscri ptions in England, he

has little private fad of her own that dis
tinguishes her from the herd. The most
persistent and consistent worker of private
fad that have yet known is fne-looking
girl who was married in Fifth avenue
church few days ago. This girl has been
in society for three seasons, and in all that
time she had been remark able for her beauty
and for rather irritating eccentricity.
She made q practice OF always being a
trifie late at an event. If there is one point
upon which etiquette roots itself it is on the
demand of promptness at every engagement.
This beauty was perfectly aware OF this. 1t
took her just few weeks in the early part
of her first season to discover that the guests
at any sort of junction arrived almost in
a body during the five minutes preceding
the appointed time. She noted that by con-
forming to this custom she became lost as
an individual, and her arrival was not taken
the account of that she felt it deserved. 1t
was,then that hosts and hostesses began to note
that this imperious child invariably kept a
dinner waiting for fully FIVE minutes. When
she did come her fresh, hearty, lovely en-
trance dispelled the impatience of the
entire company, and she had the satisfac-
ton of feeling that she had made an i'm
preston.
THE GLORIOUS CLIMAX.
As have said the unique girl was mar
ried few days ago. The groom was at the
altar at the stated time. For Is minutes
the clergyman, the organist and the audience
were impatiently awaiting the advent of the
bride. When the good humor OF the occasion
had well nigh been exhausted the doors swung
back and the bride appeared on the arm OF
her father. The latter looked nervous and
worried, but the girl was fairly radiant in
the proud consciousness that she had brought
her fad to a glorious consummation. How
far the new wife will carry her habit in the
domestic exercises is an interesting question
that her husband will not be likely to an
swer.
The indefatigable and interesting girls on
Murray Hill have been watching Prof.

CHARMING AT HIS PIPE.

Delightful as Mason is in his classroom,
or in general society, he is most charming
when you meet him with few select friends
over a quiet pipe. His "reminiscences of his
college days at Aberdeen, and his descrip-
tions OF Fellow students, are wonderfully
racy and graphic. He has also delightful
stories-immediate and personal, and not
hearsay-of Douglas Jerrold, Dickens and
Thackeray, whom he met frequently during
his residence in London. In many respects
Masson's position in Edinburgh is unique,
both as a teacher and as a man of letters.
The emelancholy-looking sage beside him,
with the dreamy eyes and the untldy beard,
is Prof. Camubell Fraser, who succeeded the
great Sir William hamilton in the chair of
Logic in 1856. He is II years OF age. He has
been 81 years professor in the university,
and is now the father OF the Senstus. A few
months ago his old students and other
friends presented him with his portrait,
painted by George Reid, r. S. A, as a
token Of their regard for him; and, In truth,
Fraser is a most lovable man. The smile that
constantly plays on his kindly face is az
index of his mild and genial nature. For
ten years before his appointment 10 his
present chair be was professor OF Logic IN
the Free Church College Of Edinburgh.
