He prided himself particularly upon his own cottage-garden, In which, every evening, after he had done working for his master, he worked for himself. Grundy's next neighbor was as industrious as himself; and, as their gardens joined, there was a kind of rivalry kept up as to which—Tom Carter or Grundy Arch* er should have the earliest peas, the biggest cabbages, and so forth. On the part of Carter this rivalry was carried on with pleasant good humor; but when he happened to get the upper hand, Grundy was as savage as a bear.

LEAD PENCILS, ELASTIC BANDS, STEEL PENS, GOLD PENS, BLACK, BLUE, AND CABMINE INK. A very curious story—what the German papers call a Bcandalgeschichte—has just cropped up in Cassel touching a bet made between two officers there. One of these gentlemen, a count and an adjutant, was talking to his friend one evening about marriage, and laid down the proposition that a mau of rank and title could, whflhever he chose, marry a rich heiress. He proposed to bet, indeed, that within eight days he could get himself engaged to a certain yoiing lady who possessed the highlyqualilicatiim described. The bet was accepted. The young lady was the daughter of a widow of a man who had been the proprietor of a gambling house, and she was said to -have half a million as her dowry. Whether the half million was in thalers, florins or francs, the German papers do not say, but in any case it was a pretty little fortune. The count forthwith undertook the more easy than honorable task of wiuning the girls affections and succeeded. They were engaged. Now, an engagement in Germany is a very solemn affair, it is published in the newspapers ; it is considered about as irrevocable as marriage itself. However, as soon as the engagement was arrived at, the count claimed his bet, and then wrote to the girl to say that, on account of her father having been a gambler, it was impossible he could marry her. The engagement was annulled ; and the final results of this humorous affair, in the laconic words of the German chronicler, were: "a large quantity of champague and a broken heart." Rather we should say that these were the results whicli the officer in question hoped would be final { but tli© Emperor William heard of Uic little romance, aud did not like the look of it at all. Probably before the large quantity of champagne had been drank both the officers in question found themselves under arrest. At present, according to the commands of the emperor, they await their trial by court-martial; and it is highly probable that they may find serious cause to repent of having engaged In that merry jest.

There are branches of philosophy and the fine arts in which our superiority is at least not unchallenged ; but when it comes to an "International Horse Trot," with a big premium at the end, it is a moral and betting certainty that the Stars and Stripes will not be second to any hunting whatever. The patriotic horseworld recalls with disgust that when Ten Broeck took several h' rses that had been beaten at the south, to emulate the best strains of Eug ish racers, the latter were so incensed that they incontinently ran away from their Americau rivals. But not all of Bell's Annals nor the whole Turf library, growing rapidly to Alexandrine proportions, is inscribed with such names as Lady Suffolk, Dexter, Lightning, and their rivals and successors. The trotting horse is a Native American from the first, and his perfection has been achieved only here, and here only at the cost of so much devotion and cheap whisky, enthusiasm and strange revisions of the standard mile, as to render it absolutely certain that all France cannot reach a chnnce for hope—cannot learn the primer of \Voodruff's epic, until more than one August had shaded into more than one September. He may look forward, therefore, with great entusymusy to a vindicatioa of republican institutions a few months hence, that should have weight on the vacillating politics of that country.
