down the avenue rt Ellerary. and Was
soon hidden, not in the groves of the
valley, but in foltie obsceno den. where
drinkini amoiiff low companions, his

When Lis spree was over, ho would re

Do Quin'Jy was such a slave to the

ttd animal life duringthe the foremoon.
It was no unire'pieiit sight to see him
asleep on the rug belore t'no fire in his
own room, his head on a book, his arm
err -sod on his brerst. When his tor
por from tho opium had passed away,
he was ready for company about day
light. In order lo show him olf, his
friends had to arrange their supper
parties so that, sitting until three or
lour in tho morning, he might be
(brought to (hut point nt which, in
charm and power of conversation, lie
was so truly wonderful.

replied : "Those things which thoy

Be an off-handed man ; make a bar-

Bo cautious und bold.

Never to refuse nn option when you

Cut short your losses.
Let your profits run on.

Horse Plague.
A new and strango plague, which
lately appeared among horses in cer
lain parts of New Jersey, is spreading
with great rapidity. Tho attack is
frequently so violent as to insuro tho
iloalh of an aniins! in twenty-four or
forty-eight hours. Tho victim at first,
encounters a difficulty in drinking.
The loss of HpVtite limn sets in, follow
ed by putridity of breath and rapid
prostration. Although evidently in
some way connected with tho throat,
110 cough attends this fatal malady.
Although the dise.no is spreading
with considerable rapidity, and much
uttontion is given to it, tho doc
tors can make nothing of it. Professor
Cock, of Rutter's College, has been
devoting himself to the subject, nnd is
br.fllcd at every step. Careful posi

chemical tests, a fiord no l'ght or

of agriculture, Hugh was a perfect
stranger, adhering rigidly to tho good
old system ol tillage which obtained
somo sixty years ngo Ho plowed
shallow, sowed his grain nt least seven
weeks later than the ordinary time for

re-aped a deficient crop.

was installed in a corner, which he on-
! ly quitted about three in tho uftjrnoon,
utter having drank six or seven bot
tles of different kinds of wine. Ho
then walked ap and down the garden
u"til the clock struck five, when he
made his appearance again at the
samo restaurant, nnd always at the
same place His second meal, nl
which he drank quite ns much ns at
the first, invariably lasted till half past

An Arabian Legend.
The Arabs have a legend among
them 111 which it is told that Moses re
coivod fron,the Lord, on Mount Sinai,
a revelation of the mysteries of his
Providence
lue, great Jewish lawgiver was
complaining (so runs the statement) ot
the impunity with which men commit
sin, of the success of the wicked in this
world, and the ufllietion laid upon the
just.
Tho Lord then took him to a moun
tain, from the top of "which he behold
tho vasts plains of the desert stretched
at his feet.
On an ousts slept a young Arab.
Suddenly ho awoke, jumped en his
horse, and soon appeared as a mere
speck 011 the horizon, leaving behind
hull a hug of pnarls, which he had for
gotttn'Jn his haste. Another Arab now
reached tho oasis, saw the bag of pearls,
took it and disappeared ia the opposite
direction.
Soon after, an aged traveller, leaning
on bis staff, earns with slow and feble
steps to seek rest under tho branches
of the trees. He threw himself upon
the ground, and soon fell asleep. But
scarcely were his eves closed, when he
was rudely awakened. The younjf
Arab had returned, nnd demanded his.
pearls. The old man replied that b
had not taken them. The other furi
ous, nccusod him of hnv.'ngstolcn them.
The traveller swore he had not seen the
treasure; but the Arab fell upon him,
and during the flgbl that ensued, drew
his sword, buried it in the oM mail's
breast, and he fell dead on the turf.
'O Lcrd! is it jut?" exclaimed
Mo-e. t
"Bo silent! " said the Lard. "Look
at this man whose bloo.l is now lost in
tho sand of thedtsert. S r.ncyears ago,
in this same spot and secretly, ho mur
dered tho father of the young Arab
who has just taken his lil. His crime
was hid from man ; but I am tho Avenge."

The Decline of Hoops.
The contraction of feminine hoops
begins to be appnrent in tho streets
and iu the street-cars. If the reaction
bus fairly set iu, there is no telling
in what it may end. It is said that
our great-grand mothors wore hoops
larger and more cumbrous than any ot.
the present generation have soon,
whilo our grandmothers discarded not
only hoops, but a great deal of under
clothing, appearing in pubiio in skirts
of such gossamer texture as to nfford
something more solid than a mere con
jecture upon which to base an idea of
exquisitely-rounded limbs and other"
voluptuous charms. Nay, more, it is
alleged that before going to an evening
party they slightly dampenod their
skirts, eo they would cling mora close
ly to their human forms divine, "half
revealing and half concealing the mys
terious ionfigration of the womanly
shape. Whether the hoop reaction
stops short of this other extreme or
not, wo must muko up our minds to be
satisfied, as sxperiunco has thoroughly
demonstrated that it is no use for bi
furcate humanity to kick up a dust
about female fashions. The effect of
ridicule, ns well as sorious remon
strance, has boon thoroughly tried en
hoops, water-falls and other fominal
"flxins," and all to so purpose. Tho
more the newspapors lampooned then
the more they flourishod like green
bay trees, until just as we beoomo rec
onciled, the female whim changes, and
oft they go. But come what may, wo
shall bo ths gamers by ths abolitiea of
hoops. There will te more room in '
the street-oars and 04 the side-walks,
to hint nothing about the many other
little conveniences that will be restored
to us from the fnr past of imperious"
fujkioit.- .
