Australia's Wild Horses.

1t may be some twenty years or so ago,
saws the author of "Cassell's PICTURESQUE
Australasia that a settler lost two valu-
able mares. The sand flies were bad, and,
driven by them, now walking and now
trotting, these mares, one followed by a
noble colt foal, never touched by mans
hands, and with blood in him that could tell
of EPSON and the grand national, journeyed
on toward the west. Fifty miles II ON their
owners homo is reached; but the country is
rugged and not to their taste, and on they
go. Another fifty miles, and a pleasant
valley affords good water and plentiful
grass; but sudden panic-caused, perhaps,
by party of blacks chasing native game
starts them afresh, and still westward they
go, till finally they rest in peace far from
the dwellings Of men-far from the sound
of changing hobble-chain or tinkling horse
bell.
Month after month rolls on. Each mare
foals again. and two strangers straying
from some other part Join themselves to
the little herd of five and raise their num-
Der to seven. Then another summer begins
and four additional little foals bring up the
total to eleven. The next recruits arrive
with hobbies on their legs, and, could they
but speak, would tell the others a strange,
sad tragedy. Not thirty miles from here.
while they, thus hobbled, fed quietly on the
green grass within sight of their owners
camp, they had seen their master at sunrise
advancing slowly, bride and halter in
hand, toward them. Then from the ground,
as it were, black stump suddenly grew
into black man; then another appeared,
and another, then a short dialogue between
the one white man and the fifty black
devils. followed by a death-cry and
the yells Of many demons. Fear lent
them wings, and, manacled as they
were, they few many weary
mile, till, now, with joyous neigh and the
sense of safety in numbers. they throw
themselves into the little group who stand
shaded by the leafy curragong. These trot
round in some alarm and snort at the jang-
ling hobblechain; but the older mares are
soon recouciled and the young stallion, the
sire of countless future brumbies, adds these
two last corners to his increasing harem.
Such, then, was the origin of the brumbies.
Daily they grew wilder and more on the
alert for danger; constant gallops from i'm
aginary enemies strengthened their sinews
and improved their wind. Recruits began
to pour in as civilization invades the wild
west, aud when finally they were first
really determinedly hunted by the white
man, he succeeded in taking but a few of
the quieter ones, while those who escaped
became sharper than the sharpest, wilder
than the widest and feeter than the feetest
roebuck.

1t would be fulsome flattery to say Miss
Blaine is beautiful young woman, but it
may with justice be said that her face
bears those strong characteristics which, as
in the case of both her father and her
mother, make a good intellect. The por-
trait accompanying this article is made
from photograph taken some time ago,
and shows Miss Blaine in a fancy costume
worn at a young peoples party. Never
since that time mas anybody been able to
prevail upon her to sit for portrait. In
this picture she looks very much as her
younger sister looks at the present time.
At the close of a scholastic career with
Miss Porter, of Pennington, Conn, Miss
Blaine went abroad with Mrs Levi z. Nor

were to be seated together on all occasions.

Mss BLAINE'S WEDDING.
AN oLD-FAsHIoNED LOVE MATCH.
HOW IT CAME ABOUT.

The Young Couple First Met at Car
neeie's Castle, in Scotland-A Ro-
mantle Incident at Senator Hale's.
The Arrangements for the Wedding.
(Copyright)
WASHINGTON, May 17.-Ever since the
beginning of the present administration
not to go back of that tirne-the tongue of
gossip has been busy concerning the public
and private affairs of the Blaine household.
First. when it was learned that MIR. Blaine
had taken the old house in which Secretary
Seward used to live and in which he was so
nearly murdered on the night that Lincoln
was shot, the prophets and the sons and
daughters of prophets declared that this
was only the first theatric act of what was
Going to be a highly dramatic administration
of the state department. Then, as time
failed to develop any very startling de-
moustrations of the jingo sort, the sscre-
taryIs health became the subject of general
conversation, and it was agreed that he
could not survive the first year of the adj
miuistration. When the terrible loss of a
son and daughter fell upon the family
there was no lack of sincere SYM
patby, but gossip, which must
90 on, turned from the household
to the house itself and called upon its his
tory to prove that it is the abode of bad
luck. There are plenty of PEOPLE in Wash
ington who will tell you that there is not a
superstitious hair in their heads and in the
same breath will say that they would not
live in the old Seward house if they could
have 1t rent free-not because there is any
physical defect in it, but because it is an
unlucky house
The announcement of the engagement of
Miss Margaret Blaine to Walter Damrosch
gave to the gossips new and profoundly
interesting subject, and straightway they
chose sides and went into a free-for-all
discussion of It's merits. l believe they have
not vet determined to their entire satisfac-
ton, whether it is a love match. Il there
fore will delight me few minutes later to
lay before them some facts which may
throw light on this important question.
As soon as the engagement was made
known it became necessary for the goSsips
to learn as soon as possible what kind of a
wedding it was going to be. Some said the
ceremony would be performed in the old,
historic st. Matthew Catholic church.
Others said it would be Protestant cere-
mony. All agreed, however, that it would
be very ostentatious affair. Not even the
double bereavement of the secretarys fam
lily could still this tongue of gossip. 1t was
stoutly maintained that, while it was going
to be in 1.-THE worst kind of TASTE" yet, of
course, it was going to be 6 grand public
wedding.
As it has been throughout, pretty nearly
everything that the gossips have said about
the Blsines since the beginning of this ad-

her friends not so much as a woman of mere
accomplishments as of profound learning
She has no talent whatever for music, a fact
which has given rise to much speculation
on the part of the gossips as to why she
and Mr.. Damrosch should be drawn toward
each other. But gossips are likely to be
superficial in their observations.
Miss Blaine is, to the few whom she
classes as her intimate friends, very in
teresting woman, her speech and actions
betrayipg, at times, a depth of feeling I'M
guessed by those who judge her by her cold,
austere, outward manner. 1t has been noted,
however, even by those superficial judges,
that recently she has undergone marked
change of manner. 1t is thought that the
kiudled flame of love, added TO the heart
aches resultant from the femily'S recent
bereavements, has stirred the latent tender
ness Of her nature, which hereto
fore has been demonstrated only
to her mother, to whom she has always ex-
pressed in every act and word the very
deepest devotion. These two have been in
separaole companions, the mother always
consulting the daughter on matters Of mo
ment, and in the later years leaning heavily
upon her Judgment. Those who are init
mate with the family say that Miss Marga-
ret is to the mother what Walker Blaine
was to the father; and they add that the
loss of the daughter by marriage is almost
the loss of the son by death was to the
father.
As the time for the wedding approached
the Blaine family had considerable strug-
gle with the question as to whether it
should be a quiet affair or society event.
Mr.. and Mrs Blaine, sore at heart from re-
cent losses. were favorable to a strictly pri-
vate wedding. but Mr.. Damrosch desired
that the occasion of his great joy should be
a memoir able one. Some yielding en- both
sides resulted in the form of ceremony
which the readers of the country now know
was settled upon. 1t was intended at first
that only the President and Mrs
Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie, Mr.. and
Mrs. Mckee, the cabinet families, and few
personal friends of the bridal couple should be
invited, but Mr.. Damrosch desired the pres
ence of the German minister, and Secretary
Blaine deemed it unwise. to invite him with
out extending the invitation to the entire
diplomatic corps. This opened the door.
and it was with difficulty that 1t was closed

ministration has turned out to be untrue
with the exception of the assertion that the
house is unlucky, which has not turned out
at all, and is not likely to.
On another point-a point, too, very dear
to the gossips-they are in error. Miss
Blaine and Mr.. Damrosch did not have
Their first meeting on the famous Carnegie
coaching trip. they met almost a year
before that at a dinner given by Mr.. Car
negle at kiigarston in Scotland,
where he had leased the mag
nitcent estate for that season. The
seed OF acquaintance which was sowed
at that time burst into qualification under
the morning sun of Mr.. Carnegies watch
Iulness during the coaching trip through
scotland in the next year, for it was by his
arrangement that these young people were
seated side by side throughout the trip from
London to Cluny castle. At this grand old
castle the courtship proper began, and in

ALL BECAUSE OF AN UMBRELLA.
How a Young Woman of Sheffield
England, Secured Husband.


How Young Woman of Sheffield,
England, Secured a Husband.
From the Neto York Star.
Miss Annie Hodgson, while working in an
umbrella factory in Sheffield, England,
about three years ago, wrote her name and
address on the inside of an umbrella which
she had just completed. The action was
done in a thoughtless moment, aud she had
no idea that anything of particular moment
would be the result. The umbrella was
placed in the stock, and with hundreds of
others was shipped to the United States.
That umbrella had a mission to perform,
and nobly did it go about it. On arriving
in the port of New York it separated itself
from its companions, was sold to a mer-
chant and finally drifted with tho same
purpose in view TO Long Lake, Hamilton
county, where it was purchased by young
man named Jerome Wood. He carried the
article for some weeks before the name on
the inside attracted his attention. Then,
impelled by the governing power which is
said to watch over the fate of all powers,
he wrote to the young lady. and she, actu-
ated by the same impulse. answered his
letter. The correspondence thus started
lasted until the young lady left England
and came to this country She took up
her residence in Troy, where she as
Sumed the position or housekeeper
for her brother. After some time
she went to Palmer's Falls, thence to
Racquette lake, where she was employed
during the summer at "The Antlers." Mr.
Wood YVES employed at the lake by w. w.
Durant, and it was on this lovely sheet of
water that the lady and gentleman first
met. Events rolled along, as such events
will, and at Luzerne this week Miss Hodg-
son and Mr.. Wood were made one in the
