GREELEY’S NEW BOOTS.
When He Split One, He Bargained For aa Old Pair of Stogies
These stori of Horace Greeley are told by Dr. Henry Raymond Dun kirk, N. ¥ The first Dr Rogers many years ago by the late W. L Carpenter of Dunkirk, and the other is ¢ personal recciiection of Mr. Greeley b. Dr Rogers hi welf:
“William L. Carpenter was an intimate friend of Mr. Greeley,” said Dr. Rogers, ‘and had worked with him in a newspa

were tramping in the center of New York state, looking for work. While feeling somewhat discouraged they were one day standing on a bridge, quite uncertain as to what steps to take next. Mr. Carpen-

ter took a cent from his pocket, and, toss- | ing it up with his thumb and finger, said,
‘Heads, I go east; tails, 1 go west.’ cent fell tails up, and Mr. Carpenter start- ed west, landing in Dunkirk, where he spent the remainder of his life in newspa- per work and was prosperous to the extent of establishing a pleasant home, in ma- nicipal affairs ané the politics of the dis- trict, and always standing high in the es- teem of the people. Greeley’s cent fell upon the bridge head up, and he went east to Albany, where he at once started upon his upward career.
“I met Horace Greeley for the first time,” continued Dr. Rogers, ‘‘when I was living in Gardiner, Me., and can youch for the truth of tbe following inci- dent of this visit of Mr. Greeley to Maine: He was upon a lecture tour, and before his departure from New York had pur- chased a pair of fine, fashionably made boots to replace the heavy stogies that he usually wore. The New York Herald had mentioned the fact as a notable circum- stance. Mr. Greeley lectured in Bangor and started to Augusta, 60 miles distant, by stage. An accident occurred on the way and the stagecoach was capsized. Mr. Greeley escaped unharmed personally, buf one of his stylish boots was torn open on ohe side. He looked at the torn boot, then giancing around at the feet of the bystanders, he noticed a country fellow who had just come from a barnyard and whose coarse cowhide boots, disfigured as they were by barnyard stains, seemed to Mr. Greeley to be about the right size for him Heat once struck a bargain with the countryman, giving him enough mon- ey in addition to the new boots to buy an- other pair suitable for his work, and imme- diately drew upon his own feet the heavy soiled footgear that he bad purchased.
“J was sent as a committee of one by a debating suciety in Gardiner to see Mr. Greeley and secure him to address a Gar- diner audience. When I saw Mr. Greeley, he was wearing the same boots, which still showed on their dingy surface traces of their previous acquaintance with the barn- yard. He had his trousers tucked into the topsof the boots. My mission was success- ful Mr. Greeley gave a remarkable ad- dress in Gardiner upon ‘Yellow Covered Literature.’ ’’—-New York Sun.
Housekeeping Abroad.
American housekeepers struggling with fefractory maids may well listen with envy to the tale of some countrymen in France, says the Chicago News
This family has a servant whom it calls its jewel. She gets $8 a month, and this is what she does for that sum: From 6 to $a. m. she cleans the drawing and dining tooms and has her own little breakfast of tea and bread. Then she carries up hot Water to the bedrooms, serves coffce and rolis in bed and departs to market, where she buys all the provisions for the day She returns by 10 and does the two bed- rooms, and at noon serves a luncheon in a dainty manner. In the afternoon she does a little sewing for the family, serves tea and prepares dinner, which is a course meal. In the evening she reads the paper and retires when the family does. She has no company, speaks French, Italian, German and English She has her own bottle of wine, which lasts two days and costs her employers 7 cents) They lock up nothing, and she never so much as touches a hairpin.
On the continent it is the custom to eat baker's bread, which is very good Wash- ing is never done at home, and thus two dreaded days—baking and washing days —are escaped.

The Horse That Led the Light Brigade Died om an Ohio Furm.
The neted white Arabian steed ridden by Captain Nolan in the charge of the Light brigade at the memorable battle of Balaklava of the Crimea was quar- tered for several years in the immediate vicinity of Cincinnati and died a natu- ral death at a ripe old age in the neigh- borhood of Morrow, QO.
When the blundering order for the charge of the Light brigade was given, Captain Nolan was in command. As the men charged into the ‘‘valley of death’’ Nolan, on his conspicuous white Arab, spurred far in advance of all—a fine mark for a Russian rifleman. With his sword high uplifted and a cheer em his lips, he was struck in the breast by a fragment of shell, thrown in the Rus- sians’ first discharge, and instantly kill- ed. His sword dropped from his hand, but the arm retained its upright posi- tion and his left hand the bridle rein, as his horse instinctively turned back and galloped toward the brigade. As the files opened to let him pass an un- earthly shriek rept the air, said by some to have been the last agonizing cry of Nolan in vain effort to turn the brigade from its impending doom, but thought by others to be the result of no human will, bré due rather to those ‘*spasmodic forces which may act upon the form when life has ceased. ’’
Straight into the Russian guns, which were opened full upon them, dashed the brigade and ‘‘then they rode back, but not the 600.’ The immense loss was ‘‘only counter balanced,’’ says one, ‘‘by the brilliance of the attack and the gal- lantry, order and discipline which dis- tinguished ‘it.’’
The remnant of the Light brigade was sent over to Quebec to recuperate, apd with them Nolan’s white Arab, with two slight saber cuts in his side. He carried the marks to his death. After his master’s death the horse was called Nolan. While in Quebec Lester Taylor, a wholesale cotton merchant of C.ucinnati, purchased him and brought him to Cincinnati, where he shortly afterward sold him to August Le Broot.
Le Broot was a Frenchman. The Le Broots owned a pretty summer house at South Covington, Ky., on the cliffs of Licking river, and now known as Dinmore park. Luxurious quarters were fitted up for Nolan. A French zouave was brought from France to care ex- pressly for him and a handsome jet black stallion, called Sultan, purchased in Algiers by M. Le Broot on one of his pumerous trips to Europe. Nolan was a magnificent creature, 1544 hands high, snow white, with mane and tail like strands of burnished silver, and nostrils like pink satin; fleet as the wind under the saddle—the only use to which he was put—with a swinging, easy gait, most inviting to the equestrian lover; high spirited, yet gentle withal as a fawn. Both Nolan and Sultan were regularly exercised in a ring laid out on one part of the grounds for that pur- pose. So docile was Nolan that the two little daughters of the house were much given tc climbing upon bis back during this exercise. If either chanced to slip and fall beneath the feet of the horse while in motion, be would stop instant- ly, and, with the zouave cry to the child, ‘‘Tranquiel! Tranquiel!’’ mean- ing be quiet, would, with rare intelli- gence, bend his head and carefully push the little one from his path.
On one of the foraging expeditions of the Union troops stationed at Fort Mitch- ell, afew miles distant from the Le Broot residence, both horses were taken from the stables M. Le Broot was away from home. Upon his return, with the impetuosity and decisive action of the typical Frenchman, he started as once with his zouave in hot pursuit of the animals. Some four miles from home he came across them, tethered and in charge of a subaltern. Le Broot cov- ered the man with his pistols while the zouave deftly secured the horses. Then he directed the latter to take them across the Obio river into Brown county, O., he himself riding on into Covington, Ky., and straight tothe old Planters’ House, where the commanding officer of the troops, General Stanhope, was stopping. There he defiantly challenged the gen- eral’s interference in the case. Nothing came of the affair, however, and after a time the horses were retursed to their old quarters. Loath to dispose of Nolan and not wishing to ship him to France, Le Broot left him for some months to the care of Colonel Mason, finally pen- sioning him to a farm near Morrow, O., where he lived his life out in peaceful retirement. — Cincinnati Commercial
