HObhin and the Mare.

The story of ..Dobbin and the Mare,
80 familiar to many readers Of English
poetry has met its parallel in New
York state, Sc far as fond parent and
heartless children are concerned. 1t
is related that a resident OF Tioga
county, in his declining years or. of
paternal generosity, divided ali his
considerable estate among his four
sons. Holloway, Ezekiel Charles and
Edward. looking to their filial care for
support in his old age But those af-
fectionate sons found the old gentle
man to be a burcen. and proposed to
put him, at the age OF II, into the
poor house of the town Of CandOr.
The case was brought into court at
Owego on recently, when the Judge.
having examined into its history. al
ministered severe rebuke to the un-
dutiful sons. and ordered that each of
them should contribute & fixed sum to
the fathers maintenance. The court
regretted that the law afforded no pun
ishment for such base Ingratitude but
chad firm belief that the world to
come would fully 'nete out the requisite
penalty"

British Nobility.

snali and IIl-Kept London Houses OF the
British Nobility.
Americans who visit London for the
first time are always filed with aston
ishment (says the Illustrated Ameri-
can) at the very often insignificant
houses occupied by personages of high
rank. Among the Americans received
by Her Grace of Manchester much
amazement is excited by the state Of
her establishment and surroundings
it is small and shabby As with so
many English houses, the dining-room
is on the basement floor. The furni-
ture is faded and worn to a degree,
with foriorn dotted Swiss curtains at
the windows, black with London
smoke most Of the time, and full
enough of holes to make first-class
sltters. Upstairs. in the drawing
rooms, it is much the same. Dingy
carpets, dusty hangings, with thread
bare patches on old brocades, and
general air Of being used up. OF
course, all about are objects of great
value and beauty, rare pictures, pieces
OF rich tapestry and priceless porce-
lains. and on tables of Eastern work
manship stand gold vinaigrettes stud
ded with big jewels, picture-frames
set with brilliants, and so on. The
fact is, that only Americans and few
fabulously wealthy mobiles can afford
great town houses. AS with the Man
chesters, it requires every cent they
can raise to support country proper
ties that after all, are the ones En-
glish people really care about They
all entertain. more or less, a contempt
for the city abuse it, barely stop long
enough for the season. and on every
excuse are off to the continent or en-

fare leaves us no such picturesque in
cidents as these.
The Hawaiians carried no banners;
but the idols, borne by the priests
acted as rallying points and inspired
the com batauts with vigor. As flags
of truce, they sent banana trees
whose broad and long silky green
leaves waved as they moved Then
the chiefs and priests of both tribes
met TO decide on terms of peace.
This done. they sacrificed a pig and
poured its blood on the ground as a
symbol of the fate that awaited the
truce breaker.
A wreath of the fragrant male was
woven by the leaders of both sides and
deposited as one of their joint offer
ings in one OF the temples. Heralds
were then sent round to proclaim
peace.
This happy result generally occur
red when the opponents were well
matched. in which case each acknowl-
edged themselves to be lWta luG--i. e.,
beaten. But if either party was VIC
toriouS then the vanquished were
treated as slaves and made to cultivate
their own land for the cOnquerors.
Some were sacrificed on the affairs OF
the bloodthirsty god OF war and their
wives and children became the prop
erty Of the victors.
