the times. The Marquis di Rudini is a
handsome man of magnificent physique
He is fifty-two years old, and shrewd and
resourceful in politics. His attitude to-
ward the United States is believed to have
arisen from conviction that an appeal to
patriotism at this juncture would avert
unpleasant domestic difficulties, one result
of which might be the return of Signor
Crispi, the former premier, to power.
Rudini first came into prominence in
1866, when he was mayor of Palermo. The
rabble burst into revolt and threatened to
sack the city. He managed to keep them
in check until the arrival of royalist
troops. who inflicted terrible punishment
upon the insurgents and effectually quelled
their disaHected spirit. Three years later
he became minister of the interior

It Did Everything In Horse Language
Except Secure . Customer.
The young man had been a groom at
the riding school and had also been en-
ployed at sale stable. Still, the knowl-
edge that he had acquired at these places
did not serve him well, now that he
was engaged as clerk in a grocery store
on Sixth avenue.
One day young lady came in the
store and asked the clerk if they had
any horseradish.
"Hossradish? I should say we have"
exclaimed the young man. "We prob
ably have the most remarkable boss
radish in the market" and he pulled
down bottle, covered with the dust of
ages, and rolled it along the counter.
''Observe its gait" he continued with
enthusiasm. There's hossradish that
can recommend. There's an A No.
family hossradish. can warrant it to
work anywhere. It will drag family
carriage, on heavy track, in $40"
The young lady looked at the clerk
with some establishment. She wanted
the horseradish, however, and ventured
to ask if it was strong.
''Strong?" echoed the clerk: 'why, it's
as strong as steam stump puller. It's
the strongest hossradish that ever looked
through collar. You can take it right
out of your phaeton, after whirl around
Central park, hitch it to a stone boat,
and if it doesn't pull more than loco
motive I'll knock it in the head. Fact
is, it's heavy draught hossradish, with
the swiftness and endurance of Salvador. !"
81 meant to ask" said the young lady,
somewhat confused, "if it is sharp
does it bite?'
"Bite? No; it's gentle as sucking
dove; wouldn't bite the smallest child.
1t seems kind O sad like when it has to
take the bit in its mouth. Oh, no; it
wouldn't bite piece of molasses candy.
And kick? You couldn't make that
hossradish kick if you tickled it with a
straw" and the clerk punched the bottle
in the ribs as proof of its excellent dis
position.
The young lady did not seem entirely
satisfied with the recommendation, and
took the bottle up to examine it more
closely.
"That's right, said the affable young
man; ''look it over carefully. Examine
it closely for ringbone, SPAWN, quarter
crack, heaves, thumps, mumps. bumps,
dumps, gru,nps or anything else under
the shining sun. If you find it is not as
sound as dollar, the hossradish is yours
without costing you a red cent, and with
a nice set of silver mounted harness
thrown in. Shall wrap it up?"
The young lady said she would not
take it along now, but might call later
with halter to lead it home.-River

the first thought that most naturally sug-
