The Negro and the Mule.

Why is it that the negro is so sue cessful at managing the mule, and is so unsuccessful at managing horse? It IS generally admitted that both these propositions are true. The negro is noisy driver; while he is teaming he is constantly shouting a his beast of bur oen' The mule is by no means as sensi- i've to noise as the horse is: he is less exeltable and more patient The horse's excitement exhibits itself in Violence, that of the mule in stubborn ness. The phrase morse sense" is pounded upon absurd error, fer the horse actually has very little of that Ewmch humanity terms ssense. Yet, Siave we any right to expect any vast amount of sense in an animal whose Seyes are so constructed as to magnify &ooJects from eight to twelve times k.nelr actual size? While it is true that ss.he negro soon ruins the average horse, S.s IS not true that he is more successful ssnan other people in the management " 'he mule. The mule is adapted to
 lsery class of driver, but the negro can E2se aaaPted only to the mule, and this, |5st,e |8sh suppose, is really why we indulge " humorous heresy that nobody can zSN |s}rs aiong with the mule but the negro.
 ue Tact IS that the mule is the only

An omcial PnreatorY.

Tashkend has long been known as refuge for damaged regulations and shattered fortunes, or s'the official pur- gatory following upon the emperor's displeasure." One of the finest houses of the city is occupied by the Grand Duke Nicholia Constantinovitch Ro- manoff. son of the late general admiral of the Russian navy, and first cousin to the czar, who seems to be cheerfully resigned to his life in exile. Most of his time is occupied with the business of his silk factory on the outskirts of Tashkend, and on his farm near Hodjent, which certain firm in Chi cago, at the time of our sojourn, was stocking with irrigating machinery. All of his bills are paid with checks drawn on his St. Petersburg trustees
 His private life is rather unconven- tional and even democratic Visitors to his household are particularly inn pressed with the beauty of his wife and the size of his liquor glasses. The ex- ample of the grand duke illustrates the sentiment in favor of industrial pur
 suits which is growing among the mili- tary classes, and even among the no bility, of Russia The government it self, thanks to the severe lesson of the Crimean war, has learned that great nation must stand upon foundation of something more than aristocracy and nobility. To this influence is largely due the present growing pros perity of Tashl1end, which, in military Importance, is rapidly giving away to Askabad, the key to Herat' Century.

PERSONA. AND LITERARY.


 Lord Forester, canon of York cathedral, who recently died, inherited the privilege of wearing his hat in the presence of royalty. privilege con ferred by grant to an ancestor in the reign of Henry VIII.
 Among the useful accomplishments Df Queen Victoria and Princess Beatrice is to be included straw-plaiting, and William of Germany and others are said to wear and prize straw hats made for them by the fingers of royalty.
 Among the house-boats on the St. Lawrence one of the most charming is the Idler, owned by two New York girls. the Misses May and Ella Dewey. Here they give luncheons, teas and dances, and lead an Area1ian social life.
 The fact is not very well known that Rudyard Kipling is not of pure Caucasian extraction. One of his par ents was Eurasian, or half-caste, and the fractional proportione of native blood that flows through his veins is just one-fourth.
 Thomas E. Breckinridge, who crossed the plains with Fremont's eX- petition in 1845, is living at Telluride, Col, in destitute circumstances. Peti- tions praying the federal government to grant him a pension are circulating in Colorado and California.
 The only woman in the world en- titled to wear the Russian cross of St. George is the ex-Queen Marie of Naples, upon whom it was bestowed by the late ezar, in recognition of the bravery with which she defended Gaeta, the last stronghold of the Bourbon dynasty in Italy
 It is noted that A. Conan Doyle is paving the way for this country by saying hattering things about the United States It is, however. only fair to add that there are many com plimentary allusions to this country and it's institutions in his books which were written before he expected to pay it visit
 A heroic little life ended nobly a few days ago in London, in the death of John Clinton, the ten-year-sen of a eabman 1t is only few months since the lad showed his bravery and pres ence of mind by saving his little broth CT from death by fire. The child's clothing was in a blaze, and John not only distinguished this, but tore down the window curtains, which had also caught fire He met his death by spring ing in the Thames to rescue younger boy, who had fallen in. He saved the child, but was himself drowned.
 Cardinal Gibbons is the owner of 8 box made of wood from the old mul- berry-tree at St Mary's, under which the first mass in Maryland is said te have been celebrated in 1884.

SILK WAISTS OF ODD coLoRS.
Goodby to CoIored MoEre-P -Petticoats That
 Suggest the Bustle.


 The wave of silk and linen waists continues to sweep over the entire land. The number of these garments considered requisite in the summer wardrobe of the fashionable girl is al most incredible, and the designer of new style of bodice soon makes his tor herr fortune.
 The odd eolors combined in them are slightly dazzling, but toned down, as they are, with yellowish lace, no glar- ing effect is noted.
 A very odd bodice was of heliotrope silk fitting closely to the figure, and trimmed with cream guipure lace put on in points. The collar and belt were of pale blue violet.
 Striped muslins and lawns are very much worn. Black and white and pur- ple and white are the favorites They are trimmed with many small fiounces on the bottom of the skirt. each flounce having it's own adornment Of narrow lace or rows cf satin ribbon.
 Silk gowns have not been so much the fashion for many years as they are this season. The chinees and taffetas have rather the precedence over the iIl- dias and surahs.
