Check Refns and Binders.

These are two twin relics of barbarism
that still hold their own against all feel
ing of humanity in many parts of our
country. The binder WAS invented prob
ably to keep the horse from seeing any
thing that might be coming up behind
him. Whoever invented it did not un-
derstand the functions OF the eye OF q
horse at all. The eye of horse is made
so he can see through very wide range,
from the front to the rear, and the blluder
hides from him three quarters OF what he
can see without them. 1t IS entered as
an excuse that it keeps him from shying
at the whip or at anything that comes up
suddenly behind. This plea is not good
for a horse with binders once he learns
that whip is behind him does not forget
it and is IN constant dread of being struck.
He is more easily startled by a noise,
the source OF which he cannot see, than
he would be ii the binders were OIL. The
check rein Is worse than the binder, and
not a day passes but we see ladies riding
at ease III comfortable carriages while
their horses are suffering torture because
their heads are pulled up in an unnatural
position and held there in a most cruel
manner. These spirited horses are not
tossing their heads as they go down the
street because they are proud and high
Ived-Decause they are III pain as cruel as
ever possessed the victim of the rack,
and it is down right savagery to drive Il
team reined up III that manner. W o have
seen ladies' cry out when horse was
struck with whip as if il had been thom-
selves who received the blow, and at the
same time the team in their carriage was
in agony constantly because of the check
reins. a cruel blow with a whip Is q
small affair beside the torture Of a team
with their heads checked up according TO
the ignorant ideals of the correct posi-

Dangerous Guides In Paris.

In the neigh borhood of the Opera and
the Louvre any person speaking English
is bound to be accosted by some individ-
ual. who offers his services as guide.
There may be honorable exceptions, but
the less that the average visitor has to do
with these gentry the better. Here is a
case in point. a Swiss subject was ar
rested yesterday for robbery conducted
upon an ingenious plan. He speaks Eng
lish and German fluently, and his happy
hunting grounds were the Eastern and
Northern Railway stations. Ii any new
arrival i'll town displayed the least hesi-
fancy In his movements the guide and
interpreter took him in hand. and when
his proffered services were accepted he
would conduct his prey to some hotel.
He was profuse in his advice OF "be sure
not to carry your money about with you;
leave il at the hotel" The hint was often
taken, and tourists were induced to carry
about with them very little cash. In the
course of the day the guide would dis
cover some convenient excuse for quit
ting his charges at the cafe, and would
hurry to their hotel. No difficulty pre-
sented itself when he desired to enter the
rooms of the party. and in these apart
ments, with a miniature jimmy he was
accustomed to break open locks and to
possess himself of portable property.
The rogue was not always successful in
bringing his schemes to a speedy issue,
for in one case he was obliged to accom-
pany an English family in their comings
and goings for fortnight before an op-
portunity presented itself for robbery,
but his patience was then rewarded by a
haul Of 4l50.-London Telegraph.

AT PARTING.

So, with a last gocd-by,
IN this gray hour you die
To u, we to you;
Parting IS dying, too,
And distance. heart TO heart despairing saith
Is but a name tor Death.
Tomorrow we shall say,
"Our thoughts reflect to-day
His quiet room 9p stairs,
The lonely look It wears;
For all the house seems desolate and dim
With want OF only him."
What household things shall stand
HallOwed, because your hand
Has touched them We shall miss
Your help in that or this.
And treasure even trivial words you said
AS memories OF the dead.
You will bear with you thus
Remembrances of US;
And, writing now and then
OF stranger lands and men,
Your tidlngs from afar shall reach US here
AS from another sphere.
lust as If you, at last,
That greater sea had passed,
Whose winds and waters yearn
Outwards and never turn,
And, looking through the waste of silen CT
lone,
You called from the Unknown.
Even death Is nothing more
Than opening of door
Through which men pass away
As stars into the day,
And We, who see not, blinded by the light,
Cry, They are lost in Night m
Thus ever, near or far,
Life seems but where we are;
Yet those we bid Good-by
Find Death IS not to die
AS you, departing from our daily strife,
Go hence from Life 10 Life.
Clasp hands, and now FAREWELL
The words a passing knel,
But ripening year BY year,
Life triumphs there as here
Nor dark nor silent would the distan CO be
Could we but hear and see.

Goldsmith's Escapades.

With Goldsmith's many escapades
everyone is familiar-with his harmless
vanity, which manifested itself in fine
raiment; with his innocent enthusiasm;
with his pecuniary troubles; with his
carouse on Madeira when his landlady
put the bailiffs in for rent: with the liqui-
dation of the debt out OF the $50 pro-
cured by Johnson for the Vicar OF
Wakefield: with his frolics in the tenn pie
where the noise and dancing in his rooms
almost drove Blackstone crazy as he was
endeavoring to write his "Commentar-
les" in the apartment below; with his at
tack upon Evans, a Paternoster Row
publisher, which resulted in both contest
ants being drenched with fish oil from q

Fortune-tellers have become so numer-
Gus in Paris that the police have adopted
more rigorous measures to suppress this
sort of swindle. Evidently latter-day
culture does not lessen the charm which
the pretended mysteries of magnetism,
coffee grounds, molten lead, cards, etc.,
are enormously supposed to have for the
ignorant only. The deoadence of re-
ligious faith appears TO be accompanied
by a corresponding renaissance ofgrossest
