ABOUT FoUR-LEAF CLOvERS.
How It Has Been Noted by People of
Note.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Some people look all their lives for four
leaved clover, quatre foil, without success,
while others think nothing of picking them
up. Same with everything else f1otsam and
jetsam. Thoreau was noted for his luck or
skill in finding relics of the aborigines. He
could pick up an arrow head at almost any
time. He must have had an eye of a
chicken. 1t is said that walking with
Emerson one day, the subject came up and
the latter philosopher lamented his inability
to find one Of es0,Ielics Of the stone age
Yet he had Boked for them often where
they were known to abound. Thoreau re-
piled that it was easy enough, and picked
one up at their very feet. Four-leaved
clovers are rare to most mortals. Those of
the five leaved variety are not often dis
covered. Back in 'S6 jockey on one Of the
local running tracks, Abner Camp who
had been put on the ground for a week for
disobedience at the post, went bOtanzng
through the infield looking for a quatre
foil He found a perfect quinte feuile. a
five-leafed clover. This was mounted and
given to Jockey James Mclaughlin, to be
worn by him while riding Miss Woodford
in the big Eclipse stakes at st. Louis, for
which this great mare was starting, and in
which she was expected to meet her old
enemy and conqueror, Freeland.
OF course that gave her luck. douby SO.

few days since an Italian was arrested
while in the act of pawn;ng jeweled four
leaved clover of large value. He claimed to
have found 1t, and the police have been
trying to discover the owner. When Cen.
eral Hancock received the democratic nomi-
nation for the presidency in 1880 he directed
the formation of a committee of old Union
generals and the organization of the veteran
democratic ex-volunteers throughout the
north. This was effected 1t was thought
best to have a soldiers campaign badge.
General James McQuade of the committee
suggested the trefolipm, the military in
signe of Hancock's old army corps This
was vetoed by General Hancock as SEEM
ingly inyidious He suggested as a substi-
tute fourleaved clover. There's luck in
that, you know said he. The idea was
adopted and vast numbers of them were
made. The design was drawn by the daugh-
ter of a Catholic bookseller of Barclay
street. this gentleman belonging to the COM
mittee' and being veteran of Hancock's
old command. For her services the young
woman was complimented with badge
made expressly for her and of considerable
value though not to the extent OF the jewel
alleged to have been found by the italian.
But there were many veteran followers OF
Hancock IN the field and in the political
campaign who had constructed for their
own decoration jeweled quartz foils of
value and the one In the hands of the
police may possibly be one Of them.
