:,tIDr. johnson Eat Horse.

Dr.. Johnson in his journal mentions
the interesting fact that he had on "a
certain day had "palfrey for dinner"
Now these three words have caused not
little trouble to the critics, and for
this reason, that they know not what
palfrey really is. 1t has been suggested
that palfrey is clerical error made by
the doctor himself for pastry, but the
doctor wrote SO legibly, and there is so
much difference between the words pal
frey and pastry that this position is not
at all tenable.
Palfrey is defined in Johnson's cele.
brated dictionary az ga small horse fS
for ladies'" and some have thought that
the doctor (whoSe feats as trencher-
man were notoricus) may have broksn
a record on the day i'll question and dis
posed of a small horse. All these ald
other conjectures ars wrong, and we
will proceed to give the correct explana-
zion.
The word palfrey sometimes pamfrey
by the interchange of and m) is still in
use among the Iustics of Scotland and
the north of Ireland, and means young
cabbages when they first come to table
in the spring Such cabbages have not
begun to "close" or become solid in the
center. They are generally spoken of as
''early pamfrey" and are considered
luxury. DIR. johnson probably picked up
the word from his friend Boswell or
from some other Scotch acquaintance

Sir Colin CampbcII.

Russian horsemen were coming on
fast, and a grim silence fell on the
highlanders- Then, as the beat of tho
hostile troops sounded deeper and loud
er, curious culver ran down the long
two deep line of the Ninety third. The
men were eager to run forward and
charge. Ninety third. Ninety -thirdi"

Campbell. oh all that eage1ness"
He had previously ridden down the
line and told his soldiers: Remember,
there is no retreat from here, men. You
must die where you stand" And from
the killed privates came the cheerful
answer, Aye, aye, Sir Colin; We'll do
thatr'
The Russians were now within range,
and the fire of the highlanders rang out
sudden and sharp. a few horses and
men came tumbling down, and the Rus
sian cavalry wheeled instantly to the
left, threatening the right flank of the
highlanders. Campbell, cool and keen
soldier. saw the skill of this movement.
"Shadwell," he said turning to his
aid-de-camp, THAT man understands
his business" So, too, did Campbell,
who instantly DETECTED his line so as
to protect his right. and met the adj
vance with destructive volley, before
which the Russian horsemen at once
fell back.-Cornhill Magazine.

Havana, June S Governor. General
Brooke has issued o-ders appointing
Senior Gonzales de Quesada special com
missioner for Cuba at Washington, with
salary of s., 600 year. He occupied
the same relative position under the
Cuban provisional government.
Those who believe that the policy fol
lowed by General Gomez is wise-and
they include majority of the most
prominent Cubans in Havana-are
pleased with this appointment, con-
sideriug it a just reward for years OF
faithful service. On the other hand
former members of the Military AS
sembly complain bitterly, saying that
the appointment is an intentional in
suit, on the ground, as they allege'
that Senior de Quesada is a traitor to the
real interests Of the island. They say
also that he is an American in his
ideas.
Gen. Gomez and his advisers held a
conference today. He is still weak and
suffering the effects Of long strain and
worry Senior Nolasco, his secretary
says that Gomez, though he desires to
visit San Domingo, is even more anxi-
Gus to see the Cubans and the Spaniards
reconciled and united, with view to
the promotion of the political and com.

chase he borrowed $500 from the com.
