 The great tenor is not only distin. guished in his chosen profession, butA| also an athlete of some renown, and could easily take first prize in many contests. He is a great horseman, rid' ing all the time when he is at home Besides this, he is very fond of hunt ing, and Borovno affords every oppOr tunity for him to gratify his taste Ill this direction. Deer shooting is one oll his favorite sports. The estate has, brooks and fish ponds, and ducks are quite plenty.
 It is now time for dinner. Afterthls has been served there is music, vocal and instrumental. It was during one of these evening parties not long aso that Jean and his friends were sur prised to hear, some distance away Louis, the valet of the great tenor teaching one of the village belles ens. nightingale song from the "Tyrolea' which he had heard Marie lempese one in New York. 1t was but short tlns before every peasant on the place Sss humming the tune, for they all take v music as a duck takes to water.
 Jean aInuses himself occasionally y reading French novels, of when ne 7 very fond. He has a tremendous corls sr, spondence, and his brother-in-laW' nI lie schutz, attends to the greaterparf0l this for him.

after breakfast some of the thorough breds are exercised. Jean watches the horses very closely as he smokes his cigars, and tries to select the winner of the czarowitz plate at the coming races in Warsaw
 At midday set lunch is placed on the tables, and the visitor can help him self whenever he gets hungry. A little later a big Russian wagon, with hay in the bottom to make up for the lack of springs, is brought to the door. and Jena and his guests are off for sur vey of the surrounding country. There are four or five horses attached and the visitor has the privilege of either mounting on horseback or riding in the bottom of this Polish prairie schoon- er."

VERY COMPLIMENTARY.
Novel Petition of Chinese Sailors Who
 Wanted to Desert Their Ship.

wanted to Desert Their ship
 Two Chinamen, with pigtails of enor- nous length--one of them so extensive that it trailed long the ground like the train of a lady's dress = entered the tribunal over which the Thames magis- trate presides. After making a pro found salaam to the bench and gather- ing up the ends of their enormous hair plaits and putting them in their poclk- cts they presented to his worship a petition, written in bold Chinese char acters, such as one occasionally sees Illustrating the sides of tea boxes which come from the island of the Tiger Braves. They made signs that they wished him to read it, but MT. Dickin- son was unable to master its contents until an interpreter explained the docu- ment. 1t proved to be prayer, drawn up i'll the language of fioweriest hyper bole, intimating that the petitioners. in their humble, insignificant and much-to-be-despised personages, who were but the refuse of the wooden pave ment and only fit to be gathered up and cast into the dust bin, approached the venerable and highly respected magis- frate, whose ancestors were ever to be blessed, and compared with whom Con- 1ucius was but a farthing rushlignt, and Wing Hang Chuna, the philosopher of the twenty-five pigtails, very or dinary person." in order to beseech his luminous condescendence, which was clearer than the sun on midsummer day, to relieve them from the painful necessity of going back to China in tic ship which had brought them here, ow- ing to the way in which they had been treated by the engineers on board. The vessel started in day or two, and if they did not sail with it they would be brought before the court as deserters. Would, therefore, his esteemed and an- powerful compendium of the learned sciences, including that of the law, be pleased to order that the unworthy petitioners, comparable only to tn. refuse of the aforesaid wooden pave ments, be relieved from further attend ance i'll the ship which they detested. abhorred, abjured and refused to recog nize as in any way worthy of his vent
 able worship's patronage!" Mir. Dick inson seemed to think that the China mems cunning was as extensive as their pigtails, declined to interfere in the matter, and referred the petitioners to the board of trade.-London Telegraph.

 A double stairway ascends on either side of the big hallway door, the wind ing staircase opening into a gallery above which is used by the musicians during the feast and for dance music as we'll. This staircase also leads to the rooms on either side of the chateau in the second story.
 On the right of the entrance to the chateau are the dining hall, breakfast room and library.

GOT ONE ON HIS WIFE.
Heartless Trick ConviviaI Comedian
 Played Upon His Sponge.

a Comedian
 Played Upon His Spouse
 A well-known comedian of conviyial disposition not long ago received as a gift from lis wife a handsome diamond scarf pin, together with the injunction that when he caught sight of the pin reflected in a mirror behind a bar 1t should serve to remind him that some one was waiting at home" The com edian was deeply touched, but it was not long before he fell from grace It was two o'clock in the morning before he caught the reflection of the pin, and then his conscience smote him. He hastened home. and, finding his wife in bed and apparently asleep, he hastily disrobed and turned in without disturb ing her. While he was figuring out what kind of lie he would tell her the next morning he became aware that she was really awake, but evidently be lieved that he had dropped off into a profound slumber. She got out of bed most cautiously so as not to awaken him, and going to the bureau where he had left his new scarf pin in his cravat she took the jeweled bauble out and dropped it into a vase on the man. tel, all of which he was enabled to perceive by the dim rays of q gas jet upon the glass of a picture frame. Then the lady came back to bed with caution, and having kept herself awake by an effort for some time, she fell into the deep slum- Der of exhausted nature. Now it was the eminent comedians turn He gave his wife good half hour to get soundly to sleep, and then he got out of bed, took the scarf pin out of the vase and put it back in the cravat where he had left it before. Then he got back to bed undetected and fell into the re- freshing slumber of the just. At seven o'clock in the morning he was reused by a vigorous shaking and his wifes agitated voice, which said: Wake up! You've been robbedl Somebody has taken your scarf pini" My scarf pinl" said the eminent comedian. Why, it's in my scarf on the bureau. I remember I left it there last night" "Oh, did you?' said she with asperity, as she snatched the scarf from the bureau. "Just look here!" sYes, there it is," said the emi- nent comedian. He says that ever since then his wife has been subject to occasional relapses into deep thought, when her eyes are fixed upon him with far-away look, and he knows that she is wondering about her vivid dream of getting up in the night and dropping his scarf pin in the vase.

Stub Ends of Thought.

The course of true conscience never did run smooth,
 Lovers pay sweethearts compliments; husbands pay wives bills.
 When woman's tear hits a man right it flattens him out.
 It is good time to dodge when a woman begins to talk in high key
 Riches have wings, but poverty can't afford them.
 Cupid possesses most of the virtues and vices.
 The marriage ceremony is the divid- ing line between romance and reality. The gossip habit is more injurious than the liquor habit.
 Talent is more valuable than genius. because man can control it.--Dctroif Free Press.

liner New York. He had just com- pleted an opera season ill which he had sung not less than TO or 80 times. Moreover, he had taken nearly all the leading tenor roles of the French, Ger man and Italian operas, and the beauty of the tone and finished taste shown in his voice clearly indicated the length of time and labor he must have devoted to private rehearsals in order to achieve such magnificent results.

No Danger of Free Silver.

There appears to be no danger what ever that any free silver bill can pass the next house of representatives. A careful committee of the chamber of commerce has made a poll of the house on this question, and we publish the result. There are only eighty
 eight members in favor of free silver and only fifty-two who are doubtful or non-committai, while there are two hundred and sixteen who declare them selves opposed to that policy. Of course, no free silver bill, even if passed by congress, could become law while Mr. Cleveland remains president. But this clear showing that an over whelming majority of the popular house is openly opposed to unsound money ought to be a conclusive assur- ance of the stability of our currency not to be doubted by foreign investors. Unsound money men are always noisy in the advocacy of their schemes of monetary debasement, but the sound sense of the American people may al- ways be counted upon to overwhelm their clamor with votes for honesty when the time comes.--N. Y. World.
