Selected Miscellany. THE WOLF. Monsieur D'Arvillc must have for he j 7 it fluently, never hesitating over words kjltfully elio^n tor picturesque effect. Gentlemen, he said, I never hunted in ni} T life/uoi* my father either, nor jrdfh nor even my grest- graudfatliGr. Bat jpy great grand- fatlier'wos~theiso MiBl^ more than ail of you put together. He died in 1764. I outgoing to tell you how. His name wag Joan ; he was mar- ried ; father of the child destined to becoiue my ancestor, and he lived with his yonngor brother, Francois D'Ar- ville, in our old chateau in Lorraine, which was situated in the forest._; Francois D'Arville ha4 remained a bachelor for pure love of handag. .Both of them used to go hunting together^ they hunted from one year's end to the other,, without rest, without a pause, without ever getting tired. That was all they liked, all they un- derstood, al^ they talked about, all they lived for. It was a passion with both of them —terrible, inexorable. I t consumed them, filled their entire being, left place for anything else. They had given orders that tbey were never to be interrupted while hunting, under any pretext whatever. My ancestor was borntRvhile his father was-chusing a fox, and Jean never thought of stopping his hunt on re- ceiving the news. He only swore: \ Nora d'un noni! the little rascal might very well have waited till after the death 1\ Hie brother Francois was a still more furious hunter. As soon ag he got up of a mornicg he would go to look after the doses and the horses; then he would shoot birds around the chateau until time came to start on a chase for bigger game. The country people used to eall them the Marquis and the Junior. Both were extraordrnarily tall, bony, hairy, violent and strong. The young- er, who wag still taller than his broth er, had a Toice so powerful that, ac cording to a popular saying which he was proud to hear repeated, all the leaves of the forest trembled whea he fhouted. And when they started off on horse- back for the chase together it must have i>een a fine Right to see the two giants bestraddling their great horses. Now, about tho middle of the winter of 1764 the cold became exeeasive and the wolves grew ferocious. They would even attack peasants going home late; they prowled around the houses during the night, howled from sunset until sunrise, and depopu- lated the stables. \\ And after a time a very ugly rumor began to spread It was sail that a colossal gray wolf, which had eaten two children, devoured a woman's arm, strangled all the watchdogs of the country—showed no fear of entering inclogores and regularly weoi about at night smelling under the aoon». All the country people declared that they had felt his breath—that it made the lights flicker. And a panic seised upon the whole province. No one dared venture out after dark. AH the shadows seemed haunted by the i*nae« of the boast. The D'Arville brothers resolved to find him and kill him, and they in- vited all the gentlemoa of the country to a great hunt. It wan AH in vain. They so oared all the forests, searched all th« thick- ets without avail; they could never find him. The killed plenty of wolves but not that particular wolf. And each night'Vegularlv, after the hunt, tho animal would attack somo belated traveler or devour soro» nnimal —»M if just to avonge himself—and this always at quite a distanco from whtto &* lust huut had token plaoe. - j abo' At last oue ni^ht he ieot into tfe.e. pig stieg ut the Chateau D'Arvilje and dvmn^ the two finest .pics. Th« brothers became full of rage-— considering this ntUok as an open fe~ fiance im^the monster's part. They and best trained^ ndJeapedJVom his horse, cutlats iu >ristling, waited *b,r him, crouotrra^-; hounds together and wont to the chase in a great foiry. From earliubt d»wn uutil the red sun beg nt p sink behind thi naked trees they gcoured the thickeis in vain. At lasc, disappointed beyond measure and angered in proportion, they began to ride homeward at^ a waik along a road bordered with, high bushe&, won- dering the while how all their science could have been baffled by this wolf— feeling auddeoly a aorj; of ujysterioua four. The elder said: •'That's no oommon animal. Seems he thinks like a man.\ .The younger replied: \ Perhaps we ought to get ouroonsin, the bishop, to bless a bullet for UH, or got some priest to prouounee the ne- cessary words,\ They kept silence a while. Jean spoke again : ' \ ** Look how red that sun is 1 The wolf is going to do some more mis- chief to-night.\ He had scarcely spoken when hi hor>e reared ; that of his* brother Fran- cois bpfflin..Ja_4iiuilgg 1 _ _ A grea t hn sh covered with drnd loaves parted, and a huge animal—all gray—leaped out and shot through the woods. Both iren uttered something like growl of joy, and bending ovor the neck« of their powerful horses, they flung them forward wiih one imuienMj effort of the whole body —shot them on ith such a vim—exciting them with voice, gesture and spur, that the strong riders actually seemed to bo lifting the weighty steeds between their thighs, and flying away with them. Ou they went at full speed, ora'a^mg through thickets, crossing raviites. Njaliner steeps, thundering down gorges, and blowing their horns with all the force of their lungs to call their dogs and their men. And all of a sudden, during this ^ .headlong course, my ancestor struck hk head against an enormous branch, which literally cleft his skall, and fiang him dead on the ground, while his terrified horse ran awa}' and disappear- ed in tbe gathering gloom of the woods The younger D'Arville at onetrdrew rein, leaped to the ground, lifted his b|pther in his arms, and he saw that tne brains was running out of the great wound with the blood. Then he sat down beside the corpse, burst from the forest into a valloy, just as a crimson moon showed her face »ve Aha crags. The valley wa& Btony, closed in by enormous rocka. Thoio was no issue; and the wolf, brought; to bay at last,, tamed round. Francois uttorod a yell of joy that iie echoes FepeT\ upon his knees and watohed there, looking at the brother's immobile face. Gradually a fear came upon him, a singular fear that he had never felt before—the fear of the darknoss, the fear of fhe desolate forest, the fear of solitude, and also the fear of that weird wolf which had killed his bro- ther by way- of avengib^ himself on both of them. The darkness thickened; the cold made cracklings in the trees. Fran oois rose up shuddering, unable to re- main there any longer, feeling him- s$lf ready to faint. * Nothing cnuld be heard—neither tho voices of the dogs nor the sound of the horns, everything to the invisible horizon seemed dumb, and the solemn silence of tho iey evening seemed full of something frightful and strange. He lifted in his giant arms the great body of Jean, placed it across tho saddle, mounted and rode on slowly, feeling dizzy as if drunk, haunted by all sorts of hideous and startling fancies * And suddenly a great ^form passed across the darkening, pathway. It was the wolf. A shock of fear tingled through the hunter; a coldness, as of a trickling of water, deseended his back, uod, like a monk haunted by a devil he erossed himself,'startled by thi* unexpected reappearance of the fright- ful prowler. But as his eyes fell on the inert corpse lying across the saddle before him. his fear suddenly changed to anger; he snook with a boundless rage. Then he spurred his horse^and rush- ed after the wolf. ^** He pursued him thnmgti thickets and ravines and hedges and woods Which he could no longer reeognito, keeping his eyes ever Used upon the white shape flying through the night before bhn. .t ' His horse also teemed animated by supernatural spirit and vigor. Ha galloped straight on, vrlth his neck ptretohed out, knooking the head and the feet of the dead man, lying across the saddle, against tho treas as he pass- ed. Briars tort the hair, the jead forehead spattered the eaoreetts trunks with blood as it bfttfcw* against them the «puw jor© away the bark. ' Aad suddenly hoi-eeman and his eye» M5intillated like two stars. But U strong hunter first took his dead brothe^down from the saddle, seated him upon a rook and supported his head—now one mass of blood—with stones, and thundered ia his earg_ as if talking to a deaf man ; \Now Jean, you'll have something to look at — iook at this I\ Then he fluug himself on the mons- ter. Ho felt Htrong enough to over- turn a mountain,'to crush rook in his hands. The beast strove to bite, to lear his entrails j but he had imme- diately seised him by the throat with- out even a-thought of using his weapon, and he began to »tr.>ngle him slowly, quietly; ltsteuTng ro the stopping of the breath in the brute's throat, the stopping of the beating of tho heart. And he laughed wildly^ enjoying him- self moustrousiy^lgradartlly tightening his mighty grip im»re and more, i-hom- n% in. the.delirium of his joy: '• Look, Joan, look I\ AH resistance ceased. The body of tho wolf became' Hmp. Tho <roif WUM dead. Then Francois lifted him up bodily and carried him to the foet of the eldor brother and flung hiiu down before him, repenting in. a low voice of emoiion ; *• Here— here — here I-~ my poor Jean 1— here he is J'* Then he threw both corpses on the hor;«e, one over the other,and rode home. He entered the chateau, .laughing and crying, like Garantua at the birth of Pautagruet—- shouting and stamping for triumph as he related the do^th of the animal—sobbing and tearing his beaTd as he told the death ot his brother. Arid often afterward, wheu speaking of that oceai*ion, he would say, with tears in his eyes: \ Ah! but if Jean could only have seen me throttle the other, I'm sure h'/d have died glad I' 1 .

GREELET'S SENSE OF HUMOR- — Mr. G-reeley's sense of humor Was of a peculiar sort, but it was -allied t genius. J3o many anecdotes have been told oFhlm in illustration of this, that one can hardly expect to produce any now that some one has not repeated. ThoBfl who tried to joko with him to his disadvantage were generally worst ed, whether they did it orally or through the press. On« evening an Associate editor of the Tribune accosted him as he came into his desk with some such question »s this: \Didn't you know, Mr. Greelev. that you made a dreadful blunder in one of your statistical oditorials tbi morning. ?\ u No ; how was it ?\ said Mr. Greeley \ Why. you said something abou * Heidsieok nnd champagne.' Don 1 you know Heidsieck is ehamnajsie ?\ •' Well, \ sflid Mr. Greeley quietly, \I am tho only editor on this pa that could make that mistake.\ On another occasion a person who wished to have a little fun at the expense of hi« consistency, said in a group wh^re Mr. Greedy was standing .*' Mr, GreeJey and I, gentlemen, are old friends. We htve drank a good deal of brandy and water together.\ '* Yes,\ s*id*Mr. Goeley, « that ii true enough. You drank the brandy, aod I drank the water.\ Tobacco was his especial dislike and, a friend of mine knowing this well, 'while handing around a box f cigars to a few who were present with Mr. Groeley, took special pains to hand him the box with eroat ostentation. \No said Mr. Groeley, <* t th»nk you I haven't got so low down as tha yet. I only drink and swear.\ I must §ay,however, in contradiction of a charge that muat,have been much exaggerated and purposely distorted (for it wae a tavorita imputation against him with many), that I, at least, never hoard him use expletives that could not be repeated in a refined circle. He had aa justifiable oc«mions, though, for objurgatory epithets as any one I evor knew; ami, if he had not sometimes spoken vohonaontly he would haw boon truly angelic. Hia handwriting, in $P»*e °* * 11 ta ? e said of it, was not tho worst in tho world; but it was very nearly the homeliest* It was fairly apfMUing U >ok at. But it did have a somewhat niform alphabet.

I don't understand one very remarkable thinjr about the management of railways, accident should occur while I If NEWSPAPER AI>VBRTI81J|a t The waste^of money by ill advised iferftiiD&! j 8 Nearly or quitei aaTmuchT as would liberally advertise our trade in the best channels.

They would do everything in their power to prevent the details of the acoident from becoming known to the public, This is the one thing 1 don't understand. In recent years railwajimanagera have grown more and more secretive about tccidents. When one occurs a mighty '• hush \ ib-fiashed along ihe wires to every r.gent. Immediately after, f i Be- ware of newspaper reporters v is gashed along. Do you know that a rail- way employee is made-te- usderstand hut the most henious sin hecanoommit s to breathe even a single word of in- formation concermg a railway acci- dent? Whpther you know it or not t is true. You see there is a reason known only to railway managers why accidents should not be made-public. I have heard it whispered that they are afraid to make them public because of possible injury to the railway's business If this be the reason, then I think rail- way managers should be taught that they are sadly mistaken. Suppose a ease. Suppose two trains should coilidi on a bridge and that the shock should tear down the bridgo, completely blocking the railway for several days. Suppose all news of the accident should be suppressed and the unsuspooting pub- lic should go on purchasing tickets and 1 shipping perishable freight. Wouldn't it be reasonable to gnppose that the public would be greatly incensed when it discovered how it had been ip^ upon! The public ecrtainly would be ereatly incensed, just as it has been times out of number. Suppose a little more. Suppose a newspaper reporter as he doubtless would— should receive some shadow of information about the accident. Unable to obtain the details, he would do just as has been. don< widely read newspipere; and aoircular seldom reaches any other than a »ervant as it passes to tho waste basket or the kindling box. The advertisements of our leading retail stores are as regular- ly read infche leading newspapers by men, women and children in ftvmiHes as the weather, market an* fa6hin^ reports. They are made as fresh and readable as genius and skill can make them, and whilo circulars serve -the >nly purpose of starting the aorn'nj? fire, the wise advertiser daily summons his customers from the h^omes of the land, and Lis, advertising is the life of his trade. The fact that there is not great advertiser in legitimate trad© n this oity who has not gathered a for, :une from his business, whib old and i% well ^Rtnbimhed houses have languished and died, is conclusive proof that the newspaper that commands large circles of intelligent and progress- ive reader? is the open highway to bu* iness »uccess and fortune.— Philadeh phia Times. hundreds of times ; he would print story composed chiefly of rumors and conjectures. Rumors and conjectures, I. have noticed, are always more dam aging to railways than the ungarbled unvarnished \ \ \ \ ~ Constitution. A. VIGNETTE OF CLEVELAND. A Washington letter wys inquiries have recently been made why the bureau of engraving and printing caused to be engraved a vignette of President Cleveland, inasmuch: as th< portrait of no living person oan be plac- ed upon a note, or bond or stamp. Th< answer is obvious to any one familial with a great engraving establishment. The bureau of engraving and printing is compelled to keep in constant employ ment at good wages a corps of ejcpen engravers. These skilled men do no always have constant employment on onrrent work, and the superintenden of the bureau, in accordance with tto policy which would be pursued in anj business establishment, keeps tho en graver* employed upon work which will some time have to be done. By this means the engrav&ra are constantly increasing their skill, and the money paid them for their services is noi wasted. A considerable part of their time is employed in engraving vignettes of (hose distinguished persons whose portraits will, in the course of nature, if existing laws remain upon the statute book, be required on some of th securities of the government. Ii acoordanoe with this policy, the portraits of a number of living persons have been engraved by the bureau, and a viguetfce of President Cleveland is among them. • THS Montreal Witness says u the fact that the British army authorites oannot afford to buy Canadian horses proves that our governing market is and must Iw the United States, The price hew is determined by the- pruw there, and is lower by the cost of transport and duty. The removal of the Ameri- can duty would make ©very exportable horse iu Canada worth osore ih«a it now is by nearly if not quito UMJ whole amount of the duty. MOTE AND COMMENT.

A PITTSBURGH, Pa,, despatch of July 19th says ttor mortality among children in that oity and AHeghany daring the past six weeks is something appalling. In June 569 children under five years of age died, and sinee the first instant there have beeo«568 deaths making a total of 1,137 in the six weeks.
