Rapid Driving.

From the Manchester Times.
Madame de Ujfalvy- Bourbon. describing her
travels in western Siberia, says that for a part
Of the way she and her husband drove from
town to town with horses hired from the Co.'S
sacks. They were fine horses and travelled with
frightful Sapidity. Generally they were I'M
accustomed to be driven together. Only the
middle one-the most docile-was harnessed
before the time for starting. The others were
not brought out until the driver was on his seat.
When the manager Of the station pronounced
the word "Gator'-ready-the carriage bounded
forward. The horses tore madly ON for fifteen
or twenty minutes, and Ii was hard TO tell
whether they or tho driver had the mastery.
On the plain it was . magnificent drive
When the horses were we'll started the driver
let the reins hang loose and they kept up a fine
pace. The driver had them well in hand and
thore was no danger. He Gained and guided
them with wonderful skill. Honor to the Rus
sian coachman. Only once were we in great
peril. We had Just left station near the Irish
river. The road was near the precipitous river
bank. Our horses started at o mad pace and
the driver could not control them They GAL
Hoped straight toward precipice that q turn in
the road brought Just ahead Of us. thought
We were lost. NJ. de Ujfalvy stood on the car
riage stops, revolver in hand, ready to shoot
tie middle horse, hoping that il he fell dead
the others would halt Some Cossacks who saw
the danger rushed to Us shouting, Don't fire. {"
One Of them grasped the bride Of the middle
horse and by an almost superhuman effort
stopped him. Il was time. We could look
down into the abyss.
