A Story of Corney Grain.

Many are the good stories told of Corney
Grain. He was q man of courtly dignity,
and no one knew better than he how to
resent an impertinence, whether directed
against himself personally or against the
profession TO which he belonged. He was
engaged on one occasion to entertain a
large party of guests at country house.
He travelled down from town ia the after
noon, as directed, by u train which landed
him at his destination just as the guests
were assembling for dinner. Instead of
being received IN the edrawing-room, how
ever, Mr. Grain was conducted to the
buffers private room, and there while
the house-party were dining upstairs. his
dinner was served. Mr.. Grain said moth
ing; but as soon as he had fortified him
sell against his return journey, he called
all the servants who happened to be at
liberty into the buffers room, apoiopized
to them for the absence of piano. and
doing the best he could without one. pro-
ceeded TO entertain the amazed bur de-
lighted domestics with quips and tests
aud songs selected at random. He never
perhaps, bad more appreciative audi
ence. Then he called for his fly. AS ne
was preparing to get into it pompous
fiunkey came down TO the buffers room
with the message that dinner was hover.
and would Mr.. Grain now come up to the
and give his hentertain-
ment?" To which Mr.. Grain replied:
'.Give your master my compliments, and
tell him that as | was sent to the servants

1.-the "bersaglieri," alert and concen-
trated, their jaunty cocks feathers blow
ing in the wind; the stalwart gendarmes,
sober and solid; the cavalry regiment, in
their gay acooutrements, and the busi-
nesslike sappers and miners. Tramp,
tramp, tramp - thousands of troops
moved slowly down the street to the SOL
emn time Of the funeral march; the mill
tary bands were placed at short intervals
in the procession, and the half-veiled
strains OF the distant bugles mingled like
an echo with the fuller and more distinct
tones Of those just beneath US. Tho
long lines of moving torches, now
dying down in the blowing of the
wind, until the last spark almost
seemed extinguished, now leaping up
into sudden life, with an angry flare,
threw strange and ghostly light upon the
white faces and brought out sharp CLEANS
from the shining sabers, the helmets
and the epaulets. When the General had
been laid away to his last rest the troops
returned with the strong qulckstep OF
victorious army, with banners flying and
the bands all playing theinspiring strains
OF the most popular airs: The General
is dead; long live the General ~
But in excitement nothing can approach
the popular demonstrations. They are
like pandemonium let loose; like great
tidal wave threatening to submerge law
and order; like living ocean, heaying to
its depths with the angry passions of
people that has lost the control OF reason.
The surging torrent sweeps down be-
tween the lines of darkened houses; all
individuality has been swallowed up;
persons have become merged into col
lectlve mass, representing ylvlted
anger, unreasonable and lnVeterate. OF
sudden there comes q hush, like the
omlnouS lulu before the storm; the voice
of the leader speaks out, loud and dis
tinct, giving the battle-cry, materializing
i'll words the sentiment which has hither-
to found vent only in vague, discordant
cries, inarticulate and impotent express
sions of an uncontrolled hate.
The leading motive of the cry is an GA
basso." 1t is "down" with whatever may
be the grievance of the hour, or the un-
fortunate statesman in momentary popu-
lar disfavor. Then the cry is taken up in
hoarse vocjferation by the great mass of
human beings, and the tumult is at its
hight. Another lull, when only low NUT
terings are heard, like the retreating of
the waters Of great wave from the ocean
shore; and again the voice Of the leader
cries out Viva il pop0lo." Again the
cry is taken up in acclamation by thou
sand throats, and the excited populace
roars out "Viva il popolon Long
live the people," And thus
the mob sweeps down the
street, tho clear-cut tones of
the leader thrashing out the words of the
battlecry as with q fail, followed by the
rumbling of the peoples answer. which
becomes like the roar of distant thunder
as it moves far beyond us, and dies out. at
last, as the death groan OF wounded
beast of prey.-NeW York Tribune.
