Mnyor AIhjt Inina mid flu, hut the
Condinmu . Mxtitrn,
An antediluvian spectacle wns pro
(mred for me in tho studies of the lord
mayor of London. In a vnst courtyard
nil enormous carrlago mnilo of gold, to
which wore harnessed six magnificent
brown horses; harness ornamented with
massive copper, chiseled liy mi artist,
if not with tiiHtu ut least with a great
doal of care, nnd n multitude of ribbons
and cockades of a cherry color.
On tho soot, nix feet above tho earth,
the concliiiinn, but wlmt a coachman,
my friends! A coachman tho brood of
which bus boon lost since tho time of
Louis XIV. Ho wore a wig with a box
tuplo linn of curls symmetrically ar
ranged, hurl a bicornorcd hnt on his
head, and hn woro his livery oh Welling
tou after Waterloo niiiNt hnvo worn his
uniform. His livery bus a grund uir. It
is black nnd gold. Tho frock is ton or
nuinnntal. The blac k vnlvnt of it disap
pears under a thick embroidery of gold
wheat and fluid flowers of purplo silk,
but the chest on which it is opened is
so nniple, nnd the large epaulets, with
gold fringes, fall with a nobility so im
posing on arms so fat and so firm, that
one cannot find this exhibition of
wealth excessive.
Tbo enrringo is a poem. It is of the
purest rococo style. Mumivoiu the low
er part, tho panels of which nre orna
mented with allegoric paintings, the
box ts exclusively formed of looking
glaHsos held together by a light frame
work of gilded wood. Everything is
gilded, from tho Cupids which hold tho
box to tho chimerical figures which or
nament tho platform where the grooms
stand; from tho Tritons which hold
with their strong arms tho seat where
tho corpulent Phaothon is enthroned to
tho shell where ho places his feet; from
tho hub to the tire of tho wheels. Only
the interior of the carriage is not gilt.
It is ornamented with red cuhIiIoiih.
"Have you seen everything?" asks
tho fat num. I say "Yes," anil Master
Wright descends from his perch. Ho
putB axido with sacerdotal slowness ouo
by one his biooruerod hat, his wig and
his frock. As lie becomes a simple mor
tal he talks and smiles. I smile, too,
bucmiNO hu strangely resembles Coquo
1 in. llin trumpet shaped uomo is particu
larly a success.
Master Wright is not too proud of
it lie is proud only of his size. Ho
talks of it with evident conceit
"Do you know," he says confiden
tially, "that I uioaHaro from shoulder
to shoulder 4? inches? To become a
member of tho lioynl guard, whore
there are splendid mon, you need only
43 inches. Home of thorn moasnre 49.
There are some who measure 44, but
there is not one who measures 47. "
In the harness room in a special
room of which tho first coachman alone
has the key Wright hands to me one
of the sots of harnoss. Its weight is
fabulous. Each horse carries 110
pounds. Add to this the enormous mass
of the ear, and yon may understand
why It is that ordinary horses will not
do for the annual parade. The livery
man who has charge of the stables of
the lord mayor is compelled to sonrch
for two months in advance in order to
find the sis horses destined to drag dur
ing this momoruble parade the formida
ble machine. The rest of the year there
are ouly sis horses in the stable. They
are all beautiful, but of smaller size.
Four of them are harnessed to the seo
ond oarriage, the lord mayor's dresi
carriage. Two are harnessed to the semi
state carriage.
The carriages are not the property of
the lord mayor, but of the city of Lon
don. They are rented by the year. The
price is very high, as the coat of arms
and the painting on the panels must be
changed every year. The second car
riage costs 800.
The arms of tho oity of London are
of chiseled copper. An elegant and fine
gallery at the top of the wagon is made
of the same metal. There are four beau
tiful octagonal lanterns at the four cor
ners The panels are black and gold.
The ooachinau's seat is oovored with
black and red velvet
The service of the stablos is composed
of a head ooaohuiau, of a soooud ooaoli
man, more especially devotod to the
lady mayoress; of a private coachman,
footman, a groom and two stable boys.
Their total wages are 10 a week.
"I would wagor," said Wright, with
mocking smile, "that von win n.v
this uniform was paid for' by the lord
niavor only recently. Its cost was
1011. "
"Fortunately, " 1 raid, "you do not
renew it every year "
"Yon nro mistaken Every lord may
or has n lively different from that
chosen by his predecessor. We change
livery every year
"And does tho lord mayor havo to
pay for all this?"
"Certainly, uir. It is adigiiilyf;;cry
body may not have. Hut ymi must re
tnemher that the most parsimonious of
Jonl mayors never Kpcnt less than t'20,
OOn a year. iJo you know how much
the city allows him? No? Well, the
city allows him only 10,000 a year "
"How is it, "said I. "tlmt you are
not cluing! d as well hh the lord mayor"
Master Wright stood up with inflcxi
ble riu'idity lie .aid-
"Kir, we are ollieeis tit the city of
Loudon iipointed by (lie city to our
modest fin lion.--, we serve it in the
person of s lirnt magistrate, nnd w
nervo it fai ifully. but we are not the
servant! of iliu lord mayor Lord may
ors come and go. Wo remain ''
After this suletnii phrase Master
Wright cordially extended his hand to
me. I shook it, and when he put it
back in his pocket it was not empty.

THE SETTER DOG.
DROPPED FROM THE CLOUDS.
Its ntln' Fowrr I. So Fin . to II.
Kource of Wonder.
Ths seonl ing power of a well bred,
well trained setter fs a thing wholly
beyond human conception, mid tho mnr
volous exhibitions they givo of this
power cau scarcely bo credited. Indeed
it would not be wise to seriously dis
cuss the qnality of a dog's nose wcro it
not possiblo to verify the stories that
might bo told of this wonderful power.
Who would beliovo that a dog going at
a goud gallop, with a dead bird in its
mouth, couid scent a livo bird on the
ground several yards to one side of his
course? And yet there are few sports
men who havo not seen a dog point a
live bird with a dead bird in his month.
It would seem as if the scent of tho bird
so near his noso would provent the dog
from scenting another bird of tho same
variety lying eloso in tho grass several
yards from him. A man with a bunch
of roses in his face, would not pretend
hu could smell a bunch of similar flow
ers a foot away. If ho did, no one would
believe him.
Yet thore is no donht about the set
ter being nhlo to smell and point livo
birds on tho ground while ho holds a
dend bird in his month. He goes fur
ther than this. lie points a dead bird
on the ground with a dead bird in his
mouth, nnd ho knows tho instant ho
feels tho scent that it is a (lend bird.
This fact ho expresses in his manner of
pointing, nnd if it is a wonudod bird ho
knows that, too, nnd indicates the fact
Most dogs nro taught to point stanehly
a livo bird nnd not to point a dead bird.
Tho dog will go nt f nil speed right up
to his dead bird nnd never pause, a mo
ment. If there is a live bird near, bo
will poiut that stanehly, nnd tho
promptness mid certainty of his deci
sions show that the instant ho catches a
scent ho knows whether the bird is alive
or (V'nd. Ho makes a distinction, too,
between a dead bird, a livo bird and a
wounded bird. Ho points tho wonndod
bird differently from what ho does tho
livo bird nnd nsnully springs in nnd
entches It. What thero is about a wonnd
od bird's scent that ho cun recognize
instantly Is a pnzzlo to every ono who
hns thonght much of tho question.

gramme of tho events which hn had
cnrelessly left about the limine, was
struck with tho iiamn "Peytonia," tho.
unmn of nil entry in tho flrr.t rnco of tho
day. So deeply was slin impressed with,
it that she asked lur fa'h: r to phice lu rj

agreed to do. On nrrlvnl nt tho park hn!

placed tho $3 per order, and in doing
so provoked a smilo from tho mnn on,
tho block, which so nettled him that ho
promptly placed f5 moro at 40 to 1 for

straightened out in tho stretch, nnd to,
the amazement of every one won tho

Dr. Ilolinr. and the Reporter.
A young newspaper man, just out of
Harvard, who has since made his way.
In tho world with entire credit to hira-i
self and the college, was sent down to
Doverly Farms to interview Dr. Holmes
on his birthday. Tho young man, being
a gentleman, was a little afraid that he
was committing what would be a very
uuwelcomo impertineuco, but there was,
no wny out of it, except by a way which
also led out of his situation. Bo he went
with fenr and troinbliug. He found the,
doctor ns gracious as could be, and whon
tho interview was over the autocrat
himself drove the young man down to'
the station, chatting pleasantly all the
way.
At the station there was some time,
to wait, and Dr. Holmes, with a twinkle
in his eye, snggosted that ho and the,
young journalist go over to the store and
be weighed. The young man was very,
nearly of tho same height and build as'
tho doctor, but nt tho time was in rather
poor health. Dr. Holmes made the jour
nalist get on tho scales first. Ho weigh-,
ed exactly 130 pounds. Then Dr. Holmes
himself got on and tipped the beam nt
140 nnd was very much pleased. It was
plain cnongh that ho had "sized up'"
tho young man ns about of bis own pro
portions and had guessed that he could
outweigh him, and it had tickled his
fancy to find himself nt tho ngo of 80 a
"hotter man" than the youth. Boston

this class received a wall merited lesson
several days ago. A tall, broad shoul

to catch tho conductor's eyo until tho
crossing was almost reached. When the
conductor did notice his signals, ho
growlod out n surly, "You're too late;
wait for the next crossing." Without a
word the bij fellow Jumped to the rear
platform, jammed down tbo brake with

In the year 663 A. D., while work
men were engaged in trenching tho salt
mines in Prussia, they unearthed a tri
angular building in which was a col

the column was a tomb of freestone and
over it a slab of agate inscribed with
these words, which were in Latin:
"Here rest the ashes of Peleg, grand
