The Clinton New Era, 1887-10-14, Page 7.. ItA-NQIS JOSEPH'S HORSES. 411 the royal family are fond of boraeback eatercis e, and the Empress, Where in, England two or three years eiuce, was pronounced to be the best lady rider in Europe. It was her endow always to accompany the Em- peror ore bis gallops through the great ilic parks of Vienna ; but it Is now year or more since she has been on the back of a horse, having been posi- tiVely interdicted such exercise by the learned doctor of Amsterdam who attends her. As she is 50 years old, it is perhaps time she should give up such violent exercise as she made it. ' I visited the stables of the Emperor )ifeliich, with the court yards, cover I MIA know how many acres of ground, and saw the spacious enclosure where the Empress used to break in frac- tious steeds before riding them in public. A private dressing room for her especial use is attached, with all c nveniencea, including mirrors all around for her to admire herself in her riding habits, and a gallery for a band of music, which played while she displayed her skill and nerve amid the plaudits of the select few who were admitted to the exhibition: The stables are rot more finely ap• pointed than several I have seen be- longing to private gentlemen in the United States,• but were many times larger, and the stalls are immensely roomy. The Emperor owns more than 3,000 horses, distributed through . the stables attached to his various palaces in town and country. In the Vienna stable there are now about 440 horses, attended by 200 stablemen and grooms, and guarded by a regiment of infantry. £lie horses are all picked and all young, Over each stall is the naive elle pedi- gree of the horse, and the year in which foaled, and I saw none -that was over six. \Vhen they get past that age they are considered no long- er fit for the Emperor's use, but I could not discover whether they are sold or given away, Never less than eight horses are put to the ereat coaches on state occasions, nor less than four Iof the smaller carriages. To very few of the coaches is there a driver's seat. as postilions in the most gorgeous and elaborate livery are put upou the horses. There are two sets of horses particularly which, it' I may be permitted to borrow that favorite feminine expression. 'were just too lovely for,anything.' There were twenty milk -whites and twenty coal -blacks used for the state coaches on grand occasions, The whites were white as white could be, and the blacks, twenty magnificent stallions, who carried their proud heads as high as any Emperor, were black as black could be.— Such flowing manes, such taile, fairly trailing on the ground, and combed as flue as the hair of women, were a sight to behold. There were nearly 100 horses in the stables used only under the saddle, and upon m�ihone no harness had ever been plac- It would be quite impossible t Francis Joseph or any other could u *aerial' s t e d get m cl er aril Ilse on of the 3000 orses, even if he devoted ha whole time to riding and dr:wing. B the entire stock has a chance to show what it is made of, for it is the custom of the Emperor upon all state occasions to provide numerous staff' athich . attends him and the Empress with coa•�hes and horses. This staff will include hundreds, male and fe- male, of the blood royal and rhe no- bility, besides the military officers. The collection of carriages i, nut less interesting than the horses. The number here is about 150. There are a dozen or more grand coaches, bl:,z oned all over, even to the wheels, axles and poles with gold and gilt, and`the-withornamented-v-ith-pai w— ings. The ornamentation on the coach first made fqr Maria Therese could not have cost less than $100,- 000. This 'coach is never wed now. ,Standing• by its side is the coach in which Napoleon Bonaparte and Maria Louise first rode as consorts, and not far away is the little coach upon which res!ed the infant limbs of their unfortunate offspring, the •Duc - de Reichetadt. A tiny li�ile coach of rich and artistic design, and which - was drawn by goats, is there to re- mind Francis Joseph of the drives which he enjoyed before he put on trousers. There are several carriages which belonged to the Archduke Maximilian, the brother of the Em- peror, and also the saddle which •he rode in Mexico before the Mexicans put cold lead in hien, These are re• garded as precious relics, and no one is allowed to ;nit bis fingers on them. —Baltimore Sun. .....� , ONLY TWO APPLICATIONS AND A CORN I8 CURED Mrs Allen, one of London's most res- pected and reliable ladies, writes to say: "My daughter had a corn nod, r her toe from which she suffered innoh pain.

THE PRETTY GIRL ROUTED • THEM. On the elevated train this morning I was attracted by the beauty of a young girl who was gniug sorft'ewleere or other alone: Opposite her sat a. fat man and a thin man and by her side sat a medium-sized man. Tie at man looked over his paper at the curve of her shoulders. The thin man looked over his at the creamy round ness of her chin, The medium man glanced sideways at her shell -pink ear, and from there to hut dainty hand, and she gazed abstractedly at a memory. The three men would each pretend to read a paragraph and then proceed to take another look. Tl e girl became conscious of the r mange • ment after a while and began to gi t nervous. Men way devil at the en, s of the car were beginning to stand en their toes to examine her loveliness. The girl looked as if she wanted to se@hrink away. -ha', reminded n e of a hunted fawn with a 1�:t of dogs rang( d rotted her ready to Ill -ten their teeth iu heh At Chatham quare the guard called "Chang for Fulton, Well and South ferries`i" The girl moats and moved for the door.

A wonderful esoape fro n death by starvation occurred near Halifax, last week. T. V. Woolrich, formerly a prominent drygoods merehant,started on foot to inspect a farm at Lake - lands, in the Mount Uniacko gold district, a wild, uninhabitable region. His failure to return elicited 00 sur- prise, as it was supposed he had gone to visit a friend. It now appears tI at he lost his way in the bush and that he existed on water alone for eleven days, \Vhen found he could not articulate. He had sun ended in finding the track of the Windsor & Annapolis Railway and then lay down. Attaching a piece of his shirt to the remains of his umbrella be stuck it in the sand as a signal of dis- tress to attract a Passingtrain. This was not noticed until unday, when a freight train rescued him after eleven days of most thrilling exper- ience. Mr Woolrich it 60 years old. A few months ago a family named Bloss arrived in' St Thomas from Lon- don England,and from all appearances were respectable people.

A horrible -tragedy occurred a. short distance east of Springfield, is Elkin Co , on Tuesday evening. A farmer named Wm. Hetherington, while on a drunken spree, went home and after boating leis wife brutally, threw her in a well six feet in depth. The un- fortunate woman succeeded in crawl- ing out of the well and now lies in a dangerous condition in a neighbor's house, to which she managed to drag herself. The would-be murderer,think ing he had ki.led his wife,determined to cominitt suicide by taking a quan- tity of Paris Green. The dose being s nall it did not at once prove fatal, Hetherington may yet die from its chests, however, as he still lies in a critical condition.

The wife of Mr Charles Carroll, a farmer living on the Mount i;rydges road, near Strath roy,was found on Sat- urday afternoon hanging in the barn, dead, Mr John Carroll, cousin of the deceased's husband had -been plougli- ing for his relative, and oncoming iu to dinner •saw the body hanging, and cut it down. The womai had appar- ently climbed up into the mow,attach- ed a rope to one of the poles forming a scaffold some eleven feet above the floor, and there hauged herself. There was no apparent motive fbr the deed. Deceased had been•in her usual health and spirits, and this, coupled with the: facts that it must have been very difficult for her to get into the position, no sign of strangulatiosr, and that there was a bruise on her forehead, induced th coroner, Dr Bellington, to summon a jury to investigate the case. The circumstances of the trag- edy are veer similar to those of the Thurlow easein—Nisauuri Sotos time ago.— According.to the iast news received at Bonia from the Ueiper Congo, Stan- ley was pushing forward, and the only difficulties he met with were the natural obstacles of the country About July 25th the expedition had ascended theAruwhirni to the elevated country belonging to the Mobodi dis- trict. Fhe river becoming too narrow they left the _rafts, and the men for several days had to carry a double burden of provisions. The steel whaleboat was carried past the nar- rows and aiain launched: Stanley calculated that upon arriving a` the summit of the table lands giving shape to the basin of the Aruwhirni, the expedition would halt two days. for a rest, and would establish a camp. there, to be garrisoned by twenty men with a European officer. The districts traversed "were tranquil, and little difficulty was experienced in obtain- ing provisions from the natives. The progress of the expedition averaged 20 kilometre,daily, Tippo rib in hisiast message wro tethat he was still at his post at Stanley Falls awaiting rein- forcements. He had gained the good will ofseveral neighbouring chiefs. Owing to the disturbed state of the country Tippo Tib could not, as he had agreed to, organize a revictualli ng force to despatch direct to Albert Nv- anza,but he intended to do so as soon as possible. Disquiet continued be- tween StanleyFalls and the confluence of the Aruwhirni and the Congo, and many villages nad been pillaged. It is believed that the garrison which Stanley left at Yambunya has been forced to interfere to maintain order in the neighborhood. BABY'S SHOES.

Was it a gentleman or a lady of whom Prof. Thompson said, not long since, that "all the time which could be spared from the adornment of the person was devoted to neglect of du- ties?"
