COACHING Trim.

DR.. W. Seward Webb, vice-president of
the New York Central and Hudson River
railroad, says the Troy Press of Wednes-
day, and three friends spent last night
in his private car in the Union depot.
DR.. Webb has organized coaching
party which will start June 7th, to make
the trip from New York to his stock
farm at Shelburne. He is now laying
out the route. Last night he sent for
Stephen II. Williamson, the liveryman,
and arranged with him to take the party
through the country so as to select the
route for the coaching club. Mr.. Will
hanson sent team to Hoosick Falls,
n. Y, last night, and this morning at 7
o'clock had fine team and a light sur
rOy at the depot to take DR.. Webb and
his party to that village. There they
will find the team which was sent ahead
last night and which they will drive to
Bennington, where another relay, pro-
vided by Mr.. Williamson, will await
them. Thence they will go on to Ar
lington, and from there it is only short
drive to the stock farm.
The party arrived here about II o'clock
a. m. A team of horses from the livery
stable of ]. Fl. and n. E. Burgess was in
waiting, and after a brief stop, the party
resumed their journey, changing horses
once between here and Manchester. Be-
tween Troy and Rutland, II relays of
horses were had. They were procured
from liverymen on the line of the trip,
who were notified in advance by tele-,
graph to have them in readiness.
From Arlington, the party were taken
to Manchester by teams belonging to j.
B. Webb, a relative of III. Seward Webb.
janet Thayer, veteran driver, fur
nished the horses from Manchester to
Dandy, where w. Il. Bond had a team
in readiness which took them to Wal
lingford. j. B. Cleghorn furnished the
last relay, and the party arrived at Rut-
land about $50 p. m.
After dining there, they took special
train for Shelburne. DR.. Webb handled
the reins most of the way. 1t is not ex'
pected that the party will stop here, on
the coaching trip between New York
and Shelburne, which is to be made
next month, when three coaches and 112
horses will be used in covering the dis
lance between New York and Shelburne
Farms.

descendants of the ancient Aztecs, - said
R. G. Borden of Asheville. 1.-The Me-
dungeons have always been a mystery,
and but few facts are known about
them They came to east Tennessee
from North Carolina more than cen
tury ago. They have mixed with no
other race and have always been filthy
and ignorant. A few Of them have
grown wealthy, but when they do no
effort is made to associate with Amer
leans. They have no traditions as to
when or how or whence they came, ex-
cept rs to their ancestors in North Car
DINA Their names are of Portuguese
origin, and their appearance suggests
an admixture of Portuguese and Indian
blood. They have been classed with
negroes, but it is easily demonstrated
that they are not of negro origin 1

time and was fortunate enough to OBJ
tain their confidence through an act Of
Kindness to one of their number. A
few relics Of great age can be found in
the hands of the better class in the
shape Of pottery and implements. Some
Of these are Of the stone period; others
are marked with rude limitations of the
Maltese cross. They have a tradition
that their dead ancestors in North Caro-
lima are buried in mounds Putting

The art Of the matador is not to run
ND to the bull and stab him, but to have
him come to you and fling himself upon
the sword, while you direct his move
ments this way and that with the scarlet
cape He will follow a red cape any
where, and the chulas are busy from the
beginning of the fight to the end lead
ing the bull away from the fallen plea
dors or the imperiled banderilleros, or
the matador. Even after the sword is
thrust into his neck up to the hilt it
takes the bull long time to die. A
narrowing sight it is. The noble crea-
ture-the only noble creature, as it
seems, in the ring=stands up as long
as he can, vomiting forth torrents of
blood, as all his enemies crowd around
him, sticking to it until he drops trem-
bling against the fender. Then in come
the teams Of mules, gayly decorated
with flags and ribbons, to carry the bull
and horses around the ring at a gallop,
leaving bloody track behind. They are
not content with removing the bodies
by the nearest possible exit Oh, mol
These gay teams go galloping around
the whole arena, each dragging its
bloody carcass, while the band plays an
other quickstep-
They are hardly out of the ring be-
fore the drum rolls, and the next bull
bursts into the arena. So it goes on IN
til six bulls are done for. All the while
our neighbors in the next box are eat
ing and drinking. AS for US, we see
nothing but the suffering and death over
and over again. It carries you back to
the Roman circus, and you wonder what
civilization has done for Spain, whose
population is still SO thirsty for blood.
The Spaniards are SO used to it that they
see none of the barbarity, only the skill
and the science. And the English resi-
dents in Spain are more enthusiastic
than the Spaniards themselves. Madrid

An ImpecunIous Husband Forgot the
Trick He Played His WIFE,
have q friend who IS com ortablv
well off, with a reasonable amount of
good investments and a good salary,
but he has a weakness for using
money freely. He has also a good
wife with "a frugal mind" and by
domestic arrangement she exerts a
salutary check on the liberality of
her spouse. Occasionally he exceeds
his allowance and INDUCES in tricks
on his banker to secure a little
pocket money. for which he
does not desire to render
strict account Not long ago
he needed a new hat and bought it,
reporting to his good wife that it cost
him So, and that sum was duly
charged by her to his personal ex-
penses, while in fact he paid bnt 81 so
at a ssmarl1-down' sale, and SO had an
equal amount to elbow in" without
exposure. In little time, however,
the wife called his attention to the
fact that his hat was looking shabby
and suggested that he should get
new one, coupling the suggestion
with the remark that the hat did not
seem TO have worn well, and he must
exercise more care in his next selec-
ton. Having forgotten his little
game" the husband replied hastily
that he thought the hat had done
pretty good service for a cheap one.
''You can't expect anything from a
81. so hat
.How's that2" says the wife, and
forthwith she exhibited her account
book with its charge of SO, and the
husband was forced to confess his
fraud and promise better conduct in
future. There is peace just now in
that family, but when he brings home
purchase the wife calmly but firmly
asks him to turn in a receipted bill
from the salesman.

What is really a sensible occupation
that could be managed from the WON
ems exchanges would be that Of trunk
packer. In these days Of widespread
summer travel packing has come to be
a dreaded necessity with women. The
difference between skilled and unslrflled
trunk storing cannot be fully apprecfat-
ed until the two are compared There
is an economy in it,that is obvious. It
means fewer trunks, less destruction to
contents, and, above all, the blissful res
lief to bodies and brains taxed to the
last degree in leaving a house in desert
ed summer trim, putting finishing
touches TO the family wardrobe, looking
after the comfort of those to be left
and all the rest. There was woman
who wrapped a silk dress skirt last sum
mer around a jar Of grandma's pre-
serves, which she could not resist att
tempting to bring home with her, who
would better have employed a profes-
sional packer at 81 a trunk. The clean
er's bill was 81, and she lost the pre-
serves too.
The occupation would not be so labo-
rious to the professional packer as it is
to the amateur. The confidence Of
knowledge IS a great relief in itself
and the professional would insist
upon the trunk being set upon a rest
and al its intended contents spread out
before her. serious helps to packing
which the woman trying to be ia half
dozen places at once on packing day
often ignores
Meantime, if you must pack your
own trunks, dear sister, spike your hats
and bonnets to the trunk tray, with hat
pins, discard boxes, pack bottles only i'm
cork lined cases that come for the pur-
pose, carrying them in q separate bag
and don't pack on a damp day near the
window, or you II find your beautifully
starched muslins and linens limp as a
rag when they are taken out Her Point
