Southey. in his Commonplace Book, /"
II, 327. says Clifford, shows that the
waltz of the present day is La Wolfe, of
which our ancestors, two centuries ago,
became either tired or ashamed. This
dance was first introduced at the court
of Henry II at Fontainebleau in 1866 by
the Comte de Sault, and its history is
thus stated by Vincent Carloix in tile
memoirs of his master, Marechal de
Vieilleville:
He, the Comte de Sault, had the prin.
cipal vogue in a ball royal for his fond
ness for dancing and his good grace. So
that he introduced at court a sort of
dance called La Wolfe de Province,
which had never been danced there, and
which has afterward had a great run
throughout the kingdom. 1t has also
been said that he invented it, for many
called it La Wolfe de. Sault, and this
name is suitable, both because of the
etymology Of the word and the character
Of the dance. Notes and Queries.

A horse, an animal said to have once
been quite common in our city streets,
was seen in this city yesterday. He at
tracted much curiosity and he was fol-
lowed wherever he went by immense
crowds. II is almost impossible to be-
lieve that our ancestors could have trust
ed their lives to SO formidable q crea-
ture. 1t is understood that the animal
escaped from the Equine Food abattoir
in Brighton.
: An almost unprecedented event hap
pened in this city last evening, when
Mr. and Mrs. John Brownsmith cele.
brated the anniversary Of their mar
riage. The Brownsmiths were mafried
> year ago. 1t is quite remarkable fora
couple to live so long together in the
state of wedlock, and their celebration
naturally drew to their residence q
dense throng Of admiring friends. Con-
CALCULATIONS were poured upon the hap
py pair. with wishes that they might
continue together long enough to OBJ
serve the second anniversary Of their
wedding.
The directors of the Euripides Manu-
featuring company have been convicted
Of the charge Of failure to examine into
the accounts Of their treasurer, and have
severally been sentenced to imprison
ment in the state prison for . term of
five years. Their counsel argued that,
inasmuch Us the treasurer's accounts,
as shown by expert examination, were
faultless during his ten years Of service
and that no suspicion had ever fallen
upon him. the sentence should be light
er. but the court very justly remarked
that the offense was the same as if the
result had been severe loss to the stock
holders.
1t was curious to see pedestrian in
Washington street today, the first one
that has been seen in the city for many
years. He Occasioned no small amount
OF vexation to the unicyclists. in whose
way he was getting continually. There
can be no objection to people walking
in their own houses or in the country,
where there is plenty Of room. but it is
clearly out Of the question that the prac-
tice should be permitted in our crowded
city streets.
The death Of Solomon Strongmind,
which occurred this morning. calls to
mind the remarkable fact that during
his long residence Of Eve years on more
IN this city he has never mysteriously
disappeared for even once Undoubted-
~ Mr.. Strongmind was somewhat &C.
centric in his habits generally. but in
this especial matter the controlling cause
must have been something far more po.
tent than mere oddly.
A man appeared on the street dressed
in trousers and cutaway coat yesterday.
He was promptly arrested and carried
to the station house. When he next made
his appearance he had donned the petit.
coats and other garments appropriate to
his sex.-Boston Transcript.

OF story of the same name by Adelbert
Won ChaissO, a German novelist. Peter
sold his shadow to little man in gray
who proved to be the devil The con-
tract was disastrous. and Peter Schlemihl
is a name given nowadays to any one
who makes bad bargain. But others
than Schiemihl have lost their shadows.
