THE PRINCE OF ANIMALS.
The Horse In English Poetry aud In tho En-
glish Drama

In English poetry we first meet with
the horse in Chaucer's verse; In Trio
illus and Cressida" he figures under the
name Of Bayard; and we hear the clat-
ter Of hoofs and the jingle OF bride
bellsjn the prologue to The Canter-
bury Tales " Passing on 10 the Eliz-'
abethan writer's we come upon some
picturesque sketches in Sponsors
''Faerie Queen. As, for instance,
when the Red Cross Knight pricks
across the plain:
His angry steed doth chide his foaming Bit
As much disdaining TO the curb to yield.
And there are some spirited illusions in
more than one OF the elder dramatists,
from Beaumont and Fletcher to Ford
and Shirley, which have no space to
quote or particularize. Shakespeare,
however, is the only ono who approaches
the subject with exact and sympathetic
knowledge. Twill not 60 into the hack
neyed passage of "Venus and Adonis.
where the points Of a perfect animal are
insisted upon with the accuracy OF an
expert and the felicity of a great poet
But shall ask leave to refresh the
readers recollection of certain scene
In Henry the Fifth, where the Dauphin
enthusiastically recites the fine quail
ties of his ssprince OF palfreys None
but a man who knew and loved the
horse could have penned this fervent
message: Il will not change my horse"
says the Dauphin, with any that treads
but In four pastern, Ca ha! He bounds
from the earth as If his entrails were
hairs; 10 cheval volant, the Pegasus,

stride him I soar, am a hawk; he trots
the air; the earth sings when he touches
it; the basest horn Of his hoof Is more
musical than the pipe OF Hermes
- 1t is beast for Perseus; he is
pure air and fire. The man
hath no wit that can not, from the rising
Of the lark to the lodging Of the lamb,
vary deserved praise on my palfreY.n
Like the Neapolitan Prince in the
"Merchantof Venice, The dsth nothing
but talk Of his horse"
In 'sTroilus and Cressida" OCCURS an
allusion to one of Hectoras steeds:
Now he fights on Galathey his horse"
Sir Andrew Aguecheek, in Twelfth
Night" reveals to US that he owns a
gray horse named Capulet. And Lafeu,
in 'All's Well That Ends Well" speaks
of his bay, Curtal The name of Fall

AMBITIOUS YOUNGSTERS.


Many Boys Employed in stores Make Their
Way to the Front.
The other day I visited one of the
wholesale houses on Adams street where
a number of boys are employed.
What percentage Of these boys be-
come merchants?" asked OF the gentle
man who had them in charge.
He replied: more than you would
think. Now and then some are forced
in here by father or mother who con-
fess that they only want to keep their
boys of the streets. II such boys have
any natural commercial instinct they
pull out all right II they haven't they
are discharged. The majority, however,
have an ambition to become commercial
drummers. They see the drummer come
in from the road, They see that he Is
generally we'll clothed, and they hear
him relating his experiences on the
road. That sort OF thing catches the
average boy. There is good deal OF
the Arab in a boy after all They are
naturally wanderers. 1t is as natural
for boy to run away from school and
go on hunt for birds nests or hens
nests as it is for him to have freckles in
the spring The life Of drummer has
in it dash of adventure they like. The
drummer Is the boys hero. Do you see
that red-headed boy over there ct the
telephone7 Iheard him talking to some
Of his associates the other day ct the
noon hour. He said he would never die
happy until he got to be drummer, 30
that he could get caught In railroad
smashnps. OF course he is an exception.
But I'll gamble he gets there. Chicago

PICTORIAL LANGUAGE.
A Severe Criticism Passed Upon an Amer
lean Artists Powers.

A Severe Criticism Passed Upon an Amer
lean Artists Powers.
1t is often said that while the Ian
guages of the world are so varied, the
meaning of pictures is understood every
where; and there are many stories OF
artists who have been able to help
themselves in cases where they did not
know the speech of country, by draw
ing what they wanted and showing the
picture. A well known artist who has
recently been in Cuba, tells Of little
experience which shows that this rule
has its exceptions.
He was in Havana, and got up one
morning very early in order to see the
fish market, which from the variety OF
tropical fish sold there is an interesting
place. He was tempted by the exquisite
softness of the morning air to walk,
but after going a few blocks it occurred
to him that he should be late for the
opening of the market, and he called
carriage.
The driver knew no English, and the
artist, who had hitherto given his orders
through the hotel clerk, knew no Span
ish. For some time the artist tried to
make the driver understand where he
wished to go, lot of Spanish-speaking
men gathering to assist in the talk; but
as he made no Roadway, he at last
whipped out his tablets and quickly drew
first fish and then house.
The crowd of Cubans closed around him
as he hastily made these sketches,
every man Of them talking with the
greatest earnestness. When he finished
there was more talking than ever, and
he remembered afterward that the
crowd looked at him strangely He was
invited by signs to enter the carriage,
and away he drove at rattiing pace
congratulating himself upon his clever
ness
Presently the carriage drew up before
building upon which to his astonish-
ment he saw the American flag. The
driver jumped down and rushed into it.
coming back almost immediately drag
ging by the arm man whom the artist
recognized as the clerk of the American
Consul, to whom the driver was talking
excitedly in Spanish.
what does he say?" demanded the
artist, who saw that something was
wrong.
HE says" answered the clerk, who
in turn recognized the artist, that he
has found an American lunatic loose in
the streets, and he wants me to take
care Of you"
The artist was enough Of humorist
to laugh at the situation, but he de-
clared that he had never before had so
severe a CRITICISM upon his artistic
powers Youths Companion.

Daua's Attack, on Mr.. Cleveland.

The last public man the New York
Sun has fattered by its rude tannts,
gibes and coarse epithets is Mr.. Cleve-
land. The paper has made speciality
of denouncing, ridiculing and black
guarding the ex-President for about
seven years, and it seems to have
reached point at which the object of
it all sees fit to pay some attention to
the attacks. The bounding Of Mr..
Cleveland, a man usedto take and give
sturdy blows, was bad enough after he
retired from the Presidency to the
privacy of his home in upper New York
and his law Office; but, when it IL
sought to harass and wound him, by
striking his amiable, lovable. gentle
wife, the work becomes simply in
famous an indecency an outrage
which not alone Mr. Cleveland, but
every gallant man, every gentleman in
the whole world will resent, If the
source from which the outrage proceeds
is worth the notice Of good men. In
the South or West the Sun would have
to mend its manners or take the con-
personally its odious,
illeg!li' 'ate proceedings. Chattanooga

which they all solemnly declared that
they had not dealt and would not deal

customers, as American butter had been

from there to England as Irish butter.

KING OF plckpockETs.
Why He Win Spend = Considerable Time N
Retirement.


A singular individual has just been
arrested at the race course of vincennes
His name is Fred Flash. or Frederick
Wheeler. He calls himself Count
Valdez. He was freqnenter of all tho
fashionable restaurants, an inveterate
sportsman and AN accomplished gam
bier He moved only in good society,"
that is to say. that society Of Paris
which has become somewhat mixed by
the invasion OF rich foreigners He
never compromised himse If by keeping
questionable company. He talked little
but was a great observer. In stature he
was small and wore short whiskers
which chemistry kept dark, and in his
general makeup he managed to conceal
five or six Of the years which belonged
to him, and which really amounted to
about forty But for all that he was
quito polite and extremely obliging
He always received with discretion the
little discreet salutes Of the people
whom he had obliged
1t was known to every body that he
was the king of pickpockets; and by no
means lazy or idle king. He kept I'M
der his orders quite an active corps of
operators, who humbly bowed to his au-
thority. A past master in his art, gifted
with an incompatible power of taking
in every thing at a glance he watched
the winning players and noted the care
less way in which they put away their
money, generally in accessible pockets.
Then to his subjects he pointed out his
wi IN ia 70
to be operated upon. BY this
method the expeditions sent out by him
rarely failed Whenever it happened
that documents or compromising letters
were taken by his men he always had
them returned, for he never permitted
blackmail He regarded them as some-
thing beneath the dignity of his pro-
fession.
One day party came to him on the
race course and told him that the palise
Of the Jockey Storr was stolen.
"Well, what then?" asked King Fred.
Ellis cap is in it and he can't run.
Eyes, Storr will run, for in half an
hour he will have his valise, said Fred;
and he kept his word.
The reason why Fred lived in France
was because England, his native country,
had become too hot for him. Penal
servitude awaited him there; but just
why he was not extradited and why the
police were SO indulgent with him re-
NAMED always -mystery.---s7
OF late, however, his business became
dull He was too closely watched, and
his operatives were not sufficiently
skilful to get over their increased diff
culties. He determined to lend them a
hand himself, and, after some bold and
successful ventures, he was at last
caught in the act of stealing bank
notes which an officer had placed in the
outside pocket of his dofman.

Republican Corruption.
The Republican majority Of the Sen
ate Of the United States, animated by
the same unreasoning partisanship
which has ind uced the Republican ma
jority in the House to unseat Democrats,
has refused admission to Messrs Clark
and McGinnis, Democratic Senator'S
elect, and has seated ;Messrs Sanders
and Power, Republicans. A fair-mind-
cd man who attentively followed the
controversy might reasonably reach the
conclusion that neither set of Senators
was strictly entitled to seats. reso
luton was offered to that effect, but it
was defeated by strict party vote, and
so the Republicans gain two Senatorial
votes, to be cast by two men who repre-.
sent Democratic State.
The Republicans in both houses this
acting are cHmulating reasons for thu
overwhelming defeat Of their party
in the Congressional elections "
be held this fall. Mr.. Speaker Reed
is welding the gavel of the National
House for the last time. Such .
tidal wave as swept over the Republican
party in 1874 will ingulf it again. There
is little doubt that the Democratic ma
jority in the next House will not be less
than fifty. The party that promotes tho
cerrdpters of elections that to gain vot-
ers ignores the claims of Democratic
Territory while admitting new States
with bizarre or dangerous fconstitutions
that to stitie the minority departs from
the parliamentary construction which
has obtained unbroken for a hundred
years, that mocks the demand for re-
duced taxation with vicious tariff legis-
lation proposing net increase in levies
that proposes extravagant appropria-
tions, that prostitutes the civil service 70

tiers trusts and monopolies, that
brides from the public exchequer the

We have SO often been called upon in
past years to announce the last, and the
very last, and positively the very last
of this magnificent but generally use
less ship which has fingered on through
an obscure and profitless existence since
her voyages to New York proved COM
mercial failure, that the stranded hull
on the Mersey shore, to be broken up
for a few thousand pounds worth OF
old iron, may seem but "reminiscences
of the fate repeatedly declared to be i'm
minent and commonly believed to be
past.
1t is thirty years since she first put to
sea from the Thames, and her passage
down the channel was marred by shock
ing disaster, the blow-up OF her steam
apparatus, which cost ten lives; but
the laborious effort to launch this enor-
nous leviathan, as she was at ~hrst
called. in 1857, from Mr.. Scott Russell's
building yard at Millwall, has been om-
inous of ill-success. Men were killed by
the breaking of. gear attached to- ny
draulic engines that slowly pushed
her broadside on into the comparative
ly narrow river, and Mr.. Brunei, the
eminent. engineer, dying few days
afterward, was thought to be a. victim
Of sore anxiety and severe disappoint-
ment.
One serviceable, and honorable per-
formance, the laying of an Atlantic tel,
egraph cable in 1866, is set down to tho
credit Of the Great Eastern, but expert
ence has shown that vessels OF moder-
kate size can do such work just as well.
1t is sad chapter in the history OF
