JOHN II. BRYANT.

Mrs. Julia Ward Howe read poem
which was written by her for Bryant's
sixtieth birthday, and, in addition,
several stanzus appropriate for the
occasion. There We're letters from

than Mrs. Warner. For twelve years

A Study In Horse anship.

The South American Gnuchos are
by far the most picturesque, and Mt
the same time the most reckless
riders in the whole outfit, although
IL Is possible that the Cossacks might
dispute this claim. They ride with II
stirrup so short that their knees are
hunched up close to the horse neck.
The Gauchos never let their horses
stumble or fall, in which respect they
are the exact opposite Of the Next
cans, who are the poorest riders In
the show. A Cossack looks almost
like centaur. He appears to be u
part of the horse, and depends upon
the stirrup almost entirely to keep In
his seat. The Workmanship of the
Gauchos and Cossacks is u convincing
argument In favor of short s,ir;ups.
The Mexicans use the fanciful Mexi.
can saddle, which means that the
legs are extended full length, and
rest very lightly in the stirrup. They
control their horses by touching the
neck with the rein, never by pulling
on the bit. The American cowboys
ride after fashion peculiarly their
own--a long leg and tight hug with
the calf. The Irish IRE excmplars Of
the old-fashioned English cross-coun'
try style, very graceful. and capable
Of being continued for hours withou,
fatigue. 1t cannot be said that tn,
German cavalrymen are good riders
Most of them IRE heavy men. The,
adhere strictly to tho German army
style, stirrup and leg, and make ,
high rise from the saddle. Tn,
American cavalrymen aro splendit
horsemen, and they nrc just tn,
weight. All OF them are 1.-the, mus
cular fellows. They stick close Il
the saddle. The Frenchmen are ,
little heavy for graceful riding, but
they follow the French school closely
which Is not unlike the English.
The natural riders are the Indians
They spurn Il saddle. An unstrappeC
blanket serves for seat. Indians
are never thrown. Their horses sci

NEW TARIFF BILL.

Conference In Relation to the Wool
and Sugar Schedules.
WASHINGTON, Oct 4.-Thad Sheriff, a
member of the New York Board of Cen
eral Customs Appraisers, was at the
Treasury Department to-day in confer
ence with Assistant Secretary Hamlin re-
garding several important questions con-
nected with the administration of the
new Tariff Act. The question under dis
cussion was whether the entire wooden
schedule of the new Act, which includes
camel Fs-hair, ETC., goes into effect jan
uary Z, 1885, or only those parts which re-
late to articles of which the component of
chief value is wool. The Board of Ap-
praisers have decided that the entire
schedule goes into operation January Ist
next, but whether the department will
adopt that ruling and instruct Collectors
is yet undecided
Another question of great Importance
discussed was what should constitute the
value OF the duty on beet sugar imported
from Germany. The local Appraiser OF
New York has decided that the value for
duty purposes should be the local marke ct
value added to the bonus paid by Ger
many on beet sugar for export. The
question is an important one, as it would
materially increase the cost of the sugar
imported from Germany and would
likely greatly reduce the Importations.

a village east of this city, "Kike' Guilli-
ford, a young married man, publicly sold
his wife to Ambrose Bratt of Slyburg for
the nominal sum of % cents, which was
Immediately paid and the transfer duly
made.
Guilliford was married last winter. His
wife was a divorced woman. who had
been released from her marital bonds bv
her husband being sentenced for larceny.
She lived in comparative happiness with
Guilliford until this summer, when Bratt
and another man began frequenting the
house. Gossip ensued, and the couple
soon separated. Soon afterward a truce
was patched up and the two again began
living together, but yesterday the hus-
band came upon Bratt and his wife and
demanded of the former if he wanted the
woman. Receiving an affirmative answer.
the sum already named was fixed upon
and paid In her presence, and last night
BratU drove to the house and got the
woman and her belongings. GuilIiford
afterward went about boasting of his bar
gain, which he evidently considered a
good one.

DIAMOND SMUGGLING.
Schemes for the Introduction of Gems
Without Paying the Duties.

schemes Tor the Introduction of Gems
Without Paying the Duties.
One of the simplest devices for SNUG
Cling diamonds is that of the hollow
heeled shoe. 1t is asserted that boots and
shoes constructed so as to leave a small
vacant space in the heels are easily OBJ
tanned in Europe, and they are especially
manufactured for the purpose of supply
ing smugglers with means of escaping
detection.
The porous plaster has often served as q
means OF secreting diamonds. When it is
understood that $4,000 worth of diamonds
or more can easily be inclosed IN paper
parcel about as wide as this column, one
one half inches high and about a quarter
OF an inch thick, it is easy to comprehend
that such package can be kept securely
in place by means OF an innocent but
highly serviceable porous plaster.
one OF the most ingenious methods
ever employed was the use of a cake of
soap, wherein a number of diamonds
had been embedded. 1t is highly prob
able that this plan would have proved
successful had it not been that the of
ticers of the Government had received
information that the suspected person
had diamonds with him and searched
his effects so thoroughly that they exam
ined even the gem-studded block of
soap.
The wife of the smuggler helped her
spouse, and her plan was not less in
genious than that of her husband. Her
hat was ornamented with bunches of
grapes, which, under ordinary circum-
stances, would only have awakened the
envy of other wearers of Donnets
Within the grapes were diamonds and
fancy stones OF great value.
Another smuggier was especially pro-
yided by Providence with smuggling
device in the shape of heavy covering
Of thick, bushy hair, which he arranged
so that 1t stood up from his forehead like
an lmpenetrable bush. Within this mass
OF heavy hair he deposited goodly stock
of diamonds and succeeded for time in
escaping the vigilance of the custom-
house officials. York Advertiser.

A Pickle ExpIosion.

A peculiar accident occurred lately at
a pickle factory at South Deerfield. A
big pickle-tank exploded, scattering de-
sharp report caused by the sharp vine
gar, and then 1900 gallons of pickles
were distributed broadcast. To make
these 1000 gallons required !, ZOO, 600 GU
cumbers and two carloads of salt, The
amount of sunshine thus distributed has
not yet been estimated. 1t seems that the
iron hoops on the tank burst, and thev
won't have TO mix pickles there for a
long time. Indeed, the employees are too
busy picking the chow-chow out of the
backs Of their necks. With customary
ill-luck the tank was full when it went
up" In fact, the 100000 pickles were
wrecked because an attempt was made TO
put on one pickle too much. Pickles are
not like rose-leaves. Copious tears and
other brine were shed by the barrel, and
the ceiling of the mill was inlaid with
gherkins.-Boston Transcript.
