M'GAHAN AND SCOBELEFF. I Tl»» >rwi|i«pfr Man's Picture at the Great Huexlan General. McGntlllll »:n till' who first described t<> Europe tin* liulK» , rlan utrocltlvi. \\ but a brilliant ctva , turn be was. with bls steel blue eves. ' his face at delicately cldaeled tin though It wet® of marble, bla llt lie, light frame and that suggestion of nb*; solute eournge. Iron roaolve. under- ' ueatb the almost feminine tltilneaa of the features, lie was one of the lu- ■ titnntrs of Heolieleff indeed, tin* men were so attached to each other that Scottelcff nearly always insisted that McOuhnn should shnrv bin tent with | hint, and MctJahan was In the tent of Scobeleff the night after the dim. troua assault on Plevna. Scobeleff was, said MctJahan, a wonderful pic-' ture of the horrors and terrors of war. 1 Ills face was black with powder,' his uniform was in rags, and hla sword waa twisted like a corkscrew, it is evident from this descrljdiou that Seo*, beleff took part with bls own band in some of the work of the day. There was a sequel. by the way. to this picture I am not quite sure whether MctJahan published ft. but lie told It to me. Scobeleff was always a dandy.' Even In leading a charge he was dross-1 «d with dnndicnl precision. In the middle of the night Mctlahan was. woke up. and he saw Seolieleff dress- [ Ing himself with great care, putting on a new uniform and even perfuming hie hair and clothes. Ami then came | another transformitlon. Scobeleff. his elaborate toilet finished, sat down on bls bed and burst Into a ah »wer of j tears and a tempest of s »!n, thinking | over all his poor men v bo li-i.l l>een a i vainly sacrificed in the attempt to gain the fortress.—l.oml >n M. A. P. SHE GOT HER BAGGAGE. Mrs. Isabella Bishop Was a Sett l*osKssed Traveler. .Mrs. Isabella Bishop, whose traveli in different parts of the world secured for her membership in the British Roy al Geographical society, visited America when she was a young woman. She was unused to travel and was alone when she bad the following exjierience: 1 Once in a train going to New York i abe was dreadfully tired, and yet she bad a feeling that If she went to sleep ( the man sitting next her would pick . ber lax-ket. She struggled for some time against her inclination to sleep; , but. having for a moment given way, . she awakened to feel the baud of her neighbor gently withdrawing her purse < from ber i>oeket. < In her purse, betides some money, which was. comparatively speaking. of small moment, was ber baggage check. That was the ouly thing that really mattered. If she accused ber neighbor of theft, nothing was simpler for him th.cn to drop the purse out of the open ' window beside which be was sitting. No; she determined she would leave liny Interference until they arrived at their destination. She se u.-ed the services of a porter and,:-with apparent calmness, followed j ber traveling companion down the platform. Having descrilied ber bagguge to the p >rter. she at the critical moment bowed slightly to the pickpocket nnd. with an airy smile, said, ■•This gentleman has my baggage cbe< k.' And be immediately presented it tc ber. \ Well Conducted Riot. In 1767, irritated by the high price of provision-, the poor people of Eng land rote in many parts and seised the corn from the t!>ur mills, whii-h they Bold at reasonable prices, giving the money to the rightful owners -a well conducted riot that caused a law to be ; passed against the eighteenth century | e-oiucring of wheat. But. a severe winter following, the distress became so great that the Loudon common 1 council ordered s.".<>lo to l»e subscribed out of the city funds and that "a subscription book should be opened for the • lunations of all well disposed per ' sons." "By this noble plan.” says a writer of that time, "great numbers of people were happily relieved from the am.' abject state of distress." f-yt fa* tertowe .4o.nent. '"I hear be refused to take chloroform Whi n lie was operated on." “Yes; he said he'd rather take it when lie paid bis btli."

A GOOD SHOWING FOR THE AX I tEI L_vzs A sire with three or more trotters iu the 2:to list must be considered a very great sire regardless of his age. Axtell has sired three 2:10 performers at the age of 18, save SIDNEY DILLON. Axtell is the only stallion that ever sired as many as two 2:10 performers at 12 years of age. Electioneer was 36 years old before he sired three 2:10 performers; Chimes 20 yeats; Mabrine King 25 years; Guy Wilkes, 25 years; Dexter Prince 26; Young Jim 30; Alcyone 27.
