The horse was wounded by iece of shell in the battles of Opaquin and revtllian, but not severely la either instance. History describes the ride to Winchester as a turious and headlong race. uen. sneri-aan said.

In speaking of the matter a few months sinee, that be had ridden the horse at full gallop, at tunes oreaaing into a rnn. Two staff officers. Generals Forsyth and O'Keele, and the escort of twenty cavalrymen. rode with blm. out rue norse Winchester showed more spirit and "bottom" than any of the other animals.

The General added that the actual distance ridden was sixteen miles. the poet Head having used about lour miles of "poetical license. ttt spoge teeiingiy of Dis old black steed, saying he had been unexcelled in speed, courage, docility ana nobleness of nature. The General had not been npon Winchester back since the war closed. He had required bis hostler to give him the tenderest attention.

The horse suffered more or lens from rheumatism. A boy was allowed to take bimont to exercise one day, and, as he was trotted at a pretty lively gait, became overheated, and this, combined with an en feebled constitution, caused death. The skin of old "Winchester" was prepared in the beat art of tbe taxidermist, and is preserved to this day among the General's relics of the war. A GAT QUEEN OV 1HE WAVES. Aibury Park Surprise by the Daring of a Sandwich Island Girl.

From the Philadelphia Press Letter. A group of summer loungers on tbe beach at Asbury Park were watching the extraordinary antics of a dark-eyed, bronzed-faced girl in the sea this morning. The object of all this Interest and solicitude was beyond the line of breakers and standing on a plank that rose and fell with the swelling waves. Her batti ng dress was of some dark material, fitting close to tbe figure, the skirts reaching scarce to the knee. Her stockings were of amber hue, adorned with what from tbe shore seemed to be vines and roses in colored em broidery.

She wore no hat or cap. Her hair, bound across the forehead and above the ears by a silver fillet, tumbled down upon her shoulders or streamed out upon tbe wind in black and shining profusion. Her tnnio was finite sleeveless, and one oould searcelv tail to observe the perfect development and grace of her arms. As a wave larger than those which had gone before slow!" ad the plank upon its swelltDK surface, noised herself daintl ly upon the aupport, her round arms stretched out and her body swaying to and fro In har mony with the motion of the waters. As the wave readied its fullest volume she suddenly quick as a thought, and with a laugh that rang iuii into anore, arew nerseii together, sprang into tne air ana, ner nands clasped tovetner and clearing her a wav.

plunged Into the roll ing sea. There was a Tittle cry from timid feminine watchers on tbe sand, but the sin 11 ing face was above water again while they cried, and the daring Triton was up on the plunk in another moment and waiting for a second high roll, So she haa been amusing herself and Interesting the mob for three raor nlngs. She is as completely at ease in tbe sea bs you or 1 on land, andthe broad plank obeys tier sngbtest loucti. ben sue lias naa enougn of it she will brine: the plank into shore, eh riding upon the further end aud guiding it like a goddess over tbecrests and through the foam of the bigeeat breakers, She comes from the Sandwich Islands and is making a tour of the country, iier father Is an enormously rich planter. She arrived in the Park a week ago with tbe family of.

a wealthy Mew York tmpor ter. She is at a fashionable hotel and is one of tbe most charming danoers at the hotel hops, as well as the most daring swimmer on the Jersey coast. She is well edueated and accomplished, and. of course, speaks English perfectly, and with a swell British accent that is the despair of the dude. She learned to be mistress of the waves in her childhood at ber native homo by the sea, where, she modestly says, all the girls learn swimming as a matter of course, quite as mum as girls ol this coun try learn tennis and croquet.

The Spectre Erin. Green, la the wizard arms Ot the foam-bearded Atlantle, An isle of old enchantment, A melancholy isle. Enchanted and dreaming lies; And there, by Shannon's flowing. In the moonlight, spectre-thin. The spectre Erin sits.

An aged desolation. She sirs bv old Shannon's flowing. sA mother of many children. Or children exiled and dead In her borne, with bent bead, homeless. Clasping ner arnees sue sits.

Keening, keening. And at her keene the fairy grass Trembles on dun and barrow; Around the foot of ber ancient crosses The grave-arass shakes and the nettle swings; in iisunteu givus tus ineauow-sweei Flings to the niifht wind Her mvstlo. mournful perfume: The sad spearmint by holy wells Breathes melancholy balm. Pometlmss she lifts her bead. Wltb niue eyes tearless.

And gazes athwart the reek of nlarht Upon things long past. Upon things to uome. And sometimes, when the moon briDgs tempest upon the deep. And roused Atlantic thunders from bis caverns in tne west, The wolfhound at her feet Springs ud with a miithty bay. And chords of mystery sound from the wild carp at ner siue.

Strung from the heart of poets And she files on the winus of tempests Around her shuddering isle. itn gray nair streaming; A meteor ot evil omen The specter of hope forlorn. Keening, keening. She keenes, and the strings of her wild harp ui rtr On the Kunts of night: O'er tne four waters she keenes; over Moyle as scenes. O'er tbe sea of Millth and the Strait of Strong bow, And the Ocean of Columbus.

And the Flnna hear, and the ghosts of her cloudy hovering heroes; And tbe awan, Flanuula, walls o'er the waters ot lnioian. Chanting her song of destiny. The rune of the weaving Fates. And the nations hoar in the void and quaking time vi mifnt. Sad unto dawning, dirges.

Solemn dirges. And anatcbes of bardic aonir- Their souls quake in the void and quaking time ui nig lib. And they dream of the weird of kings. And tyrannies moulting, sick In tbe dreadful wind of change. AVail no more, lonely one, mother of exiles wan no more.

For a moment the wind had stopped, bat presently a gentle puff of air passed over me and blew on toward the rhinoceros. By the way, I wonder what it is that smells so strong about a man? Is It his body or bis breath? I hare never been able to make out, but I taw somewhere the other day that In the duck decoys the man who Is workinfr the ducks holds a little piece of burning turf before bis mouth, and that it he does tills they cannot smell him, which looks as though It were the breath. ell, whatever it was about me that attraotsd his attention, the rhinoceros soon sinelled me, and. within half a minute alter the puff of wind had passed, be was up and turning round to get bis head up-wind. There he stood fr a few seconds and sniffed, aad then be began to move, first of all at a trot; tbe sueat grew stronger, at a furious gallop.

Dn he came, snorting like a runaway engine, with his tail stuck straight tip in the air; If he bad seen ine lie down there he couid not have made a better line. It was rather nervous work, I can tell you, lying thete waiting lor this onslaught, for be looked like a mountain of flesh. I determined. However, not to Are till I could plainly see hia eye, for 1 think that rule always gives one the right distance for big game. So I rested my rifle on the ant-heap and waited for him, kneeling.

At last, when be was about forty yards away, I saw that the time had eome, and aiming straight for the middle of ths cheat 1 pulled. Thud went tee heavy bullet, and with a tremendous snort over rolled the rhinoceros beneath Its thi ck. Just like a shot rabbit. But If hud thought be was done for I was mistaken, for in another second be was up and coining at me as hard as ever, only with bis head held low. I waited nntil he was within ten yards.

In the hope that he wonld expose his chest, but he would do thing of the sort. So I Just had to fire at his head with the left barrel and take my chance. Well, as luck would have It, of course the animal put its horn in the way of the bul let, which cut clean tbrongb it about three inches above the root, and then glanced off into space. After that things got rather serious, aiy gnn wa- empty, ana tne was ranidiv arriving so ranidlv. indeed.

that I came to the conclusion that 1 had better make way for htm. Accordingly! jumped to my xeei ana ran to tne rient as uara as coma to. As I did so he arrived full tilt, knocked lay friendly ant-heap flat, and for the second time tnat day went a most magnificent crop per. me a few seuonds start, and 1 ran down wind my word, I did run I LTnfortunatelV- however, mv modeftt retreat was observed, and the rhinoceros, as soon as be got his legs again, set to work to rnn alter me. Xow no man on earth can run as fast as an irritated rhinoceros can gallop, and I know that he must catch me.

Hut having some light experience of this sort of thing luckily ior myseir, sept my neaa, ana as 1 nea man aged to open my rifle, get the old cartridge out, and puttwo fresh ones in. To do this I had to steady my pace a little, and by the time that 1 had snapped the rifle 1 heard hi in snorting and thundeiing away within a few Daces of my back. I stopped, and as I did so rapidly cocked the rifle and slewed around upon my heel. By this time the brute was within six or seven yards of me, but luckily his head was up. I lilted the rifle and fired at lnm.

Where the Ugliest Monsters Conceivable Are tbe Holiest.

Thomas Stevens in the Courier-Journal. One sees Brahma occasionally to the East pictured In heroics size on the walls of houses, or as an Idol of wood or stone, oocupying a shed at one end of a Tillage with hia wife Sarasvatl. He is also, of course, to be seen la temples, bnt not often. Sarasvatl It always represented as a beantlful young woman presenting a flower to her husband. Like our own Mother Eve, sbe was created out of a portion ot her husband 'a body, although the liindoos do not distinctly say a rib.

When thia happened Brahma was possessed of but one bend. Beholding this lovely, newly created companion, however, be at once became smitten with ber charms. Sarasvati, being a shame-faced maiden, modestly turned away to escape his gaze. At Brahma's wisn to still behold her, a second bead iasued from hia body. As tbe damsel skipped around to another poaition, a third head appeared, and then a fourth.

At length, In her embarrassment, bsrasvatl sprang Into the sky. Not to be outdono, however, Brahma instantly produced a fifth bead. Thia fifth bead was subsequently struck off by another god in a dispute, which leaves him only tour. The idol itu the leopard skin loincloth, tbe snakes about bis bead and neok and the trident in his hand, is fe.va, the destroyer. He Is one of the most familiar Idols one Jees In India.

As you approach an ndian village, the first building by tbe roadside is apt to be a abed-like shrine, sheltering an idol of 8lva about the size of a man. He Is painted red, with a blue neek, and sometimes garnished profusely with bits of gold or silver tinsel, pasted here and there about bis figure. This bright paint and tinsel gives the Idol a rather cheap and tawdry appearance, suggestive of a cheap show. One often sees this same Siva in the larger and more prosperous villages, plastered over with strips of tinsel so thickly as to be Well nigh irrecoanizaole. He Is generally represented as shedding the blood of a demon wuo had been Interrupting the austerities ot his worshipers.

Sometimes, however, his Idol is a lantastlo character, half male and half female, supposed to Illustrate the unity ot the gods. At some shrines I have seen him sitting In garish state as a mendicant. In wnicbever form tbe Idol appears there is always a third eye in the middle of the forehead, a cobra about bis Keck and another on his head. It is the followers of this Idol also, who nsed torractlce such terrible cruelties upon themselves, before the custom was prohibited bv the British Government. As everybody knows fakirs by the hundred used to wander about India practicing austerities of the most revolting character, some used to force Iron hooks in the muscles of the back, and han suspended In midair for days.

Some would Jump on sharp spikes or hold their limbs In one position till they withered-ethers would sit and gaze Into the sun until they lost their sight. All these fanatics were the worshipers of this Idol, and it is for annoying them while enaaued in these practices that be is wreaking his vengeance on the demon This idol figures more conap cuously In tbe religious life of the Hindoos to-day than any other. He Is said to be known bv a thousand different names, and to be worshiped in many forms. Sheridan's Famous Horse. From the New fork Graphic.

By Tslsrraph to ths Post-Dispatch. New York, August 4. Special telegrams to Jiradstrect'l show unexpected early signs of a revival in several lines of general trade. In some lines the improvement has already be gnn, notably in dry goods, woollens and cot tons, and in boots and shoes. Tbe greatest relative increase in the volume of general trade has been at Boston and Philadelphia, Louisville, Chicago and at tlt Northeast.

The crop outlook through the Ohio Valley Is said to ue excellent, urop reports elsewhere are In tbe main quite favorable, except in some Kansas counties, where the Indian corn crop has not come up to ex pectatlons, and In Texas where the cotton needs rain. The St. Joe and Kansas City trade reports are influenced somewhat by tne nansaa corn crop report rererrea to. Bier cantile collections are slow and do not croin ise an immediate gain, as funds are atill going from interior financial centers to the country to pay ior movins tne crops.
