Our eyes wandered all over the herd, now here now there. White horses there were, numbers of them, but it) needed but a. glance to tell that the “steed of the prairies” was not there, We eyed each other with looks of disappointment. Even my companions felt that; but a far more bitter feeling was growing upon me as I gazed upon the leaderless troop. Could I have cap- tured and carried back the whole drove,’ the present would not Lave purchased one smile from Isolina. The steed was not among them! | He might still be in the neighborhood ; or had he forsaken the mauvada alto- gether, and gone far away over the wide prairie iu search of new conquests? The vaquero believed he was not far off I had faith in this man’s opinion, who, having passed his life in the observation of wild and half-wild horses, had a perfect knowledge of their habits. There | ;was hope then. The steed might be near; perhaps lying down in the shade of the thicket; perhaps with a portiou of the manada or some favorite in one of the ajacent glades. If so, our guide assured us we should ‘soon have him in view, He would soon bring the steed upon the ground, How? Simply by starting the mares, ‘whose neigh of alarm would be heard from afar. The plan seemed feasible enough ; but | ‘it was advisable that we should surround the manada before attempting to disturb them, else they might gallop off in the opposite direction before any of us could } Ts get near. Without delay, we proceeded ‘to effect the ** surround.” The chapparal aided us by concealing had deployed around the prairie. The drove still browsed and played. | They had no suspicion that a cordon of hunters was being formed around them,! else they would have lorg since galloped away.

The neighing of the steed |had signaled my cempaniors, who shot ' almost simultaneously out of the timber, ‘and spurred towards the drove, yelling as they came. I had no eyes for aught but the white steed, and after him I directed myselt. On pearing the line of mares, he halt- ed in his wild gallop, twice 1eared his body upward, as if to the ground; aud then, uttering another of his shrill screams, broke off in a direct line towards the edge of the prairie,» A wide avenue leading out in that direé> tion seemed to have gulded his instinefs, he manada followed, at first galloping in line; but this was soon broken, as the swifter individuals passed ahead of the others, and the drove became strung out upon the prairie, Through the opening now swept the chase—the pursuers keenly plying the spur, the pursued straining every muscle to escape. } i reconnoitre TO BE CONTINUED, NEWS NOTHSS. | Victoria, Australia, is about to borrow another $20,000,000. s ' y + Two Newfoundland vessels are reported loat with all hands American game is being shipped in large | quantities to Europe. | Smallpox is reported to be frightfully on the increase in Chicago, Nearly one-seventh of Ireland is bog, Mueh is reclaimable, but at great cost. oS The Buffalo Express thinks that Mark Twain’s failure to get a Canadian copyright S py 5 is not one of his best jokes.

One could almost fancy {that the runaways from the settlements— leccasionally seen among them — had poured into their ears the tale of their hardship and loug endurance. I had myself ridden to the opposite 'side of the prairie, in order to be certain | when the circle was complete. I was ,now alone, having dropped my com- 'panions at intervals along the margin of the timber. I had brought with me the | bugle, with a note or two of which | ‘intended to give the alarm to the mares. I had placed myself in a clump of mez- quite trees, and was about raising the) horn to my lips, when a shrill scream from behind caused me to bring down the instrument, and turn suddenly in my seat. For a moment, ] was in doubt as to what could have produced such a ‘singular utterance, when a second time it fell on my ear, and I then rocognised it. It was the neigh of the prairie stallion ! Near me was a break in the thicket, a sort of avenue leading out into another prairie. In this [ could hear the hoof-stroke of a horse going at a gallop. As fast as the underwood would allow, I pressed ferward and came out upon the edge of the open ground; but the sun, low down, flashed in my eyes, and [ could see no object distinctiy. The j tread of the hoofs and the shrill ueigh- ing still rang in my cars Presently, the dazzling light no longer blinded me ; I shaded my eyes with my hand, and could perceive the form of a noble steed stretching in full gallop down the avenue, and coming in the direction of the man- ada. Half-a-dozeu springs brought him opposith ; the beam was neo longer in my eyes : and as he galloped past, I saw be- fore me the ‘* white steed of the prair- ies.”” There was no mistaking the marks of that splendid creature; there was the snow-whi-e body, the ears of jetty black- ness, the blue muzzle, the red, pro- jecting nostril, the broad, oval quar- ters, the rounded and symmetric limbs —all the points of an incemparable steed ! Like an arrow he shot past. He did not arrest his pace for an instant. but galloped on in a direct line for the drove. The mares had answered his first sig- nal with a responsive neigh ; and tossing up their heads the whole manada was ins'antly in motion. In a few seconds they stood at rest again, formed in line —as exact as could have been done by a troop of cavalry—and fronting their leader as he galloped up. Indeed, stand- ing as they were, with their heads high in air, it was easy to faucy them mount- ed meu io the erray of battle ; and oiten ito be content when I have it,” replied , John, The Japanese Government has deter- mined to establish a central bank with a jcapital of $20,000,000, so as to be inde- | pendent of foreign capital and to encourage ‘direct trade. Krupp, the great gun maker, has re- ‘ceived from Brazil an order for 100 of his ‘famous guns. ** Since 1873,” says the Ber- lin correspondent of the Post, ‘‘ Krupp has | sold 10,000 guns !” The North Borneo Company is composed of English capitalists, who have bought out | Harpe native potentates, and have set up a government of their own, having absolute authority over the lives and fortunes of the people of Northern Borneo. Cable despatches state that the emigra- tion of Germans in 1882 to this continent is expected to assume colossal proportions. About 28,000 passage tickets have already been taken for transportation by vessels leaving Hamburg and Bremen. A Noventry 1 Sr. Jonn’s.—A recent private letter from a Nova Scotian at St. John’s, Newfoundland, says: ‘‘ Yesterday and to-day they have been trying our new locomotive, and certainly I have not often seen anything quite so laughable as to watch the poor natives who have never secn one before. They stand a good distance from the track, afraid the engine any min- ute will run roaring after them.” The ‘‘ poor consumer” appears to be getting the better of the bloated ** sugar lords.” Owing to the fall in segar and negligence and incapacity in its manage- ment, the Halifax refinery has stopped refining and the stock of the Company has fallen from 110 to 45. Where are thse enormous fortunes that Mr. Black pre- dicted the sugar refiners were going to coin at the expense of the people 7 Capt. John Stewart, of Ottawa, who has just returned from the Nerth West, says that millions of dollars of foreign capital have been deposited in bank at Winuipeg, awaiting investment next sprnng. The captain himself has leased ove hundred ‘thousand acres of grazing land on the Bow river district, which he has stocked with five thousand head of cattle and horses, He claims that the Canadian lands are in- finitely superior to those of Dakota and Minnesota. Numerous applications have been made to the department by Ameri- cans, Offering to lease extensive tracts of grazing lands in the North West. This is the way the reaction works: Since September, 1878, forty-one bye-elections have taken place. Thirty-two of these re- sulted in the election of men of the same political stripe as their predecessors. Of the remaining nine, two only—East Nor- thumberland in Ontario, and Carleton in New Brunswick — elected Libera’s to re- viace Conservatives, and seven—N»»gara, East Hastings, Selkirk, Argents uil, Brome, Bellechasse and Charlevoix—have returned Jonservatives to replace Liberals, It wiil take a very great deal of this peculiar variety of reaction to acriously embarrass the preseme Government.-~Spoc.
