A Htmgarian Hussar, Count Zubowitz,- recently ubowitz,recently rode from Paris to Vienna, a distance of about 800 miles, in fifteen days, and on. the same- horse. Consider- able wagers had been made on the feat. �� The journey was performed at a -moder ate trot. - During the last seven days, the rider knowing that if the animal lay down, it would arise enervated by re- pose, passed the nights beside it, with a hempen whip in his hand to force it to stand up. The journey began on the 25th October, and he entered Paris on. the 7th November, at eleven o'clock, two hours ahead of time. He lost two days, however, on the road, owingto acci- dents. .A nail entered one of the front hoofs of the horse, and he strayed sev- eral hours in one of the many forests which he encountered. The animal is a mare named. f aradoe, dark bay and seven years old. Count Zubowitz, a strong main of thirty, showed n'o unusual signs of fatigue on alighting at the Place du Troue: The ride of the ,Hungarian was a won- derfal exploit. Bat as there were heroes before Agamennon, so there were mighty riders before Zubowitz. Take the case of Capon. M. De Sourdis, having an important message to send to Cardinal Richelieu, inquired. after a skilful and courageous horseman. The name of Capon was mentioned to him. . Let him come."

Is that so ?" " That is true." The questioner here _ gave him" a smart blow on the cheek, when Miller, turning the other cheek, had it duplicated: This raised a great laugh as- the fellow turned away. • .

After a period of more than ten years experience in the Sewing Machine Business I have found. that the CENUINE HOWE MACHINE - Is the only one which has given permanent satis- faction to purchasers, as never proving defective in its movements, nor being returned for repair. It possesses all the qualities of a serviceable Sewing - .Machine, it is strong, durable, not noisy as falsely represented, and all its parts are made of the best metal and perfectly fitted together. You may change it from rine work to heavy work with- out straining it and rendering it unfit for repro- ducing a neat and perfect stitch on fine work. It - will sew with heavy black linen thread with the carne ease as with a fine cotton spool.
