Regard For Americans In Rural Spain.

A good many of the ignorant country
people in Spain are very much more cour-
teous to Americans than to English people
for the curious reason that they consider
them subject also to the crown of Spain.
1t has been found in out of way villages,
near Gibralter especially, where the En-
glish occupation Of that fort is still looked
upon as temporary and offensive intru-
sion Of foreigners upon Spanish soil, that
the whole tone Of the people will change
when it is found that tourist Is not En-
glish, but American. "Ah, have a
brother in Havana" a grim browed
villager will say, with an infection that
implies that his American interlooutor
must of necessity be from Cuba too.
In Ronda, in the mountains of Anda-
lusia, the guidebook warns tourists that
they are likely to have stones thrown at
them A party of Americans who had
spent a week In Ronda declared this eau
tion nonsensical to a pair Of English tour
lists at hotel table. But these instantly
declared that the street boys had indeed
thrown some good sized stones at them
while they were descending the cliff, which
is one of the "sights" of the place. And
the exemption Of the others from like at
tack was explained by an Intelligent citi.
zen Of Ronda on the ground that tho
gamins looked upon the Americans as, in
a sense, oompatriots. The noble don, how
ever, was himself assured that it was the
personal amiability and charming suavity
of his admired friends which made the
townspeople their delighted servitors. The
Latin race has very polite way of polite
ness-when not engaged in aniposity.-l

Maintained His Reputation.

A brief anecdote related by the New
York Herald may be taken as enforcing
two wholesome lessons-tell the truth and
don't bet.
William Thompson, better known a.
"Unole" Thompson, who lives east Of the
Boston road, little south of the north
city limits, has reputation that George
Washington might have envied. Accord
ing to the neighborhood tradition, Uncle
Thompson is not only unable to tell a lie,
but he is so conservative that he has never
been known to tell an innocent untruth.
''I'll bet IS I can make him tell
what is not so," said Uncle Thompson's
physician one night, when several friends
were discussing the truthful mans pecu-
liarity. John Williams, neighbor to
Uncle Thompson, promptly took the bet
The doctor walked into Thompson's
house next morning and while he was in
conversation with the old man Mr.. Will
liams drove up to the gate. Uncle Thomp-
son went to sec what he wanted, and then
the doctor, as he had agreed to do, went
out at the back door and hid in the barn..

. THE NlMsLe KLlpsPRINeER.E <
A Sort OF Mountain Antelope With Hips
Like an American Hare.

The klipspringer Is kind of antelope
found in Africa, being abundant in the
mountainous regions as far north as Abys-
sinia, and, II South African sportsmen are
to be believed, he furnishes the finest kind
of venison. These animals are about 43
inches long and % inches high, and the
males have sharp spike horns, sometimes
inches long. These animals are remark
able climbers running on the tips of their
hoofs and going up rock faces apparently
as steep as the side of house. Tho hoofs
are made on the pneumatic principle be-
ing nearly cylindrical and cup shaped un-
derneath, in order to break the fall by
Compressing the air. This same plan gives
an extra firm hold on the rocks.
They are the most remarkably built an
telopes, with hip development equaled
by no animal in America save the rabbit,
which they resemble so very much that q
sportsman seeing them going up hill or
in rapid locomotion might easily think
they were the biggest rabbits he had ever
heard tell of, let alone seen. The London
Field does not say that they sit upon their
hind legs like the rabbit or hare, although
1t is possible that they do, judging from
the hind legs, which, if the animals were
to straighten them out would give them
the appearance of kangaroo on all fours.
Capital sport is to be had hunting these
animals, the proper weapon being 1885
rife or larger weapon. The hunting
is, of course, among the rocky hills, and q
man who has hunted the mountain sheep
successfully would find little trouble in
killing them. The shots are taken when
the animal stands on some lookout rock.
If missed he bounds from ledge to ledge
on which tho human eye can mark no
footing, balancing at one moment upon
the giddy verge of precipice where barely
sufficient space exists for tho hoof to rest
all four hoof points would go on an
English penny piece, according to one
writer-and at the next moment casting
himself recklessly into the battomless
chasm and pitching, as if by miracle,
upon some projecting peak, all Of which
would make the sportsman think he was
having lots of fun, in spite of his efforts
to keep from sliding into one of the bot
tomless canyons.
The animals fur, or hair, varies somo-
what with the regions, being coarse, al-
most like quilts, in Somaliland, and some-
what finer in other parts.
The mounted heads would make excel
lent trophies, whilo the yellow skin would
make neat wall ornament, as back
ground for, say, bow and arrow, model
canoe or elephants tusk. The hair is too
brittle for q rug. 1t is much sought in
the Transvaal.

NEW YORK, July 13.-The speculative

the movement was in sharp contrast to

due to- the executing of realizing orders

They Seem to Have Been the Most Ubiq-
uitous Kind of Busybodies.
The diarist was always on the move,
opened every door through which he could
gain admittance, listened to the talk Of
every circle and set down all that he OBJ
served and heard. AS we read, the old
London, which the fire swept away, rises
from its ruins, as we'll as the more stately
city which so speedily replaced it. We see
the river alive with traffic nervous peo-
pie dreading the almost inevitable drenoh-
ing as they "shoot the bridge') and feel
almost as though present in person at the
yacht races, pleasure trips to Greenwich or
"Moreclaoke'' and the sumptuous water
pageants which are SO picturesquely de-
scribed. The great palaces of the town and
it's ancient churches reappear in their
splendor; we are jostled along the narrow
streets, with their quaint signs, and pick
our way about the dirty squares.
The life Of the court and the city, the
resorts of the learned, the haunts of the
loungers, the exOitements on change, the
civic functions, the royal masques and
balls, the "revels' at the Inns Of Court,
the festive dinners, the promenade in the
parks and public walks, the reoreations in
the Mall, the diversions of Fox Hall and
Mulberry Garden, the savage sports of the
cockpit and Of Southwark fair, the cruel
sights at Tyburn and at Temple Bar, the
pillory in Cheapside, the duels and street
brawls, the accessories of the restored the

of Fleet alley, Slingsby's Lottery, Lely's
studio and Nell Gwynn's dressing room,
all move before US in living tints on the
canvas Of this marvellous panorama. We
can watch our forefathers at church and
market, notice their company manners"
and follow them into the privacy of their
homes. The customs of Twelfth Night,
May morning and St. Valentines day as
sumo q fresh interest when we see how
they were observed by our hapless anoes-
tors who had yet to learn that time was

banqueters home at night and are reused
by the monotonous call with which the
