Did I not shut my eyes today and let
two tears chaso down tho furrows in my

lady who sat opposite mo in tho car? Sho
had on a changeable talfeta dress mado
with ft number of bias folds turned
downward nnd edged with a couple of
narrow russet braids. Tho color of it ,
was bluo and cream, with an overshot of
pale rose, making tho general color pale
heliotrope. Tho sleo c-s wero great leg
o' muttons, and there was such n dear
little capo over tho shoulder, with two
quilled ruflles, and tho deopenps had an
other, and on each wero two lines cf
braid. The sleeves wero of russet green ,
shot with dusty red. There was a tin
toiiuo, with u couplo of drooping sprigs
of sngo blossoms.
Why this particular gown should bring
forth tears 1 cannot tell, unless that it is
somehow connected with tho stories my
dear old grand
mother used to
tell about tlio
gowns sho wore.
And then she
used to dress up
a doll for me in
just such a gown.
I imagine that
must he it, but I
exiK'ct the young
girl must have
wondered what
caused the old
lady over in tho
corner to weep.

LADIES' RACING STUDS.
Well Known Women In Dnmpo Wlm Own
Ituvii llorcp.
HpecUil Correspondence.)
London, May 18. Among tho features
of tho present season in Europe is tho
newly developed craze of women for
owning raco hordes and racing stables.
Mrs. Langtry ia by no means tho only
member of her profession who has regis
tered hercolorson thoturf. Mile. Marny,
n particularly brilliant star of tlio Com
edio Frnncaiso at Paris, has registered
her colors under tho pseudonym of tho
Count d'Arcy and possesses no less than
Bovon horses which aro favorably known
on the French turf.
Mile. Kmiliod'Alencon, whocan scarce
ly bo called n bona lido actress, since her
public appearances have been mainly at
tho Paris Hippodrome nnd tit circuses in
tho director of performing pigs, rnbbiti
and small donkeys, has assumed for rac
ing purposes tho iiuinu of tho Count do
Laucon, a fact which has led to some
correspondence between the stewards nf
the Chautilly races and the Duko of Ali
unde, to whom tho track belongs. The
duko objects to a woman who has ten
dered herself so notorious in connection
with one of his relatives assuming an
alias ho closely resembling tho name of
unother of his relatives, tho Duko of
Alencon, his nephow, for tho purpose of
racing on a raco coitrso which is tho prop
erty of his family. Tho example of
Mines. Langtry, Marsy and Emilie
d'Alencon is now being followed by Mile.
Jeanne (iranier, Yvette Uuilbert and
several other French, Hnglish and Aus
trian actresses.
In doing this tho footlight favoriten
aro merely following in tho wnko of the
great French, English, Austrian and
German aristocracy, who have achioved
famo as owners of race horses and racing
Btuds. Among those best known is
tho dowager Duchess of Montrose in
England, who races under tho name
of Mr. Manton, and who for 110 years
has been ono of tho most conspicuous
figures on tho Uritish turf. Tho daugh
ter of a family celebrated in tho annals
of sport namely, tho Beresfords she
has all hor life been passionately fond
of racing. Although over 70 years of
ago nnd tjuito portly, sho is still to be
met at horso sales bidding for yearlings.
Sho personally supervises her training
tdahlcs, gives orders to the trainers and
jockeys and may ho soon after a race
hcolding nnd abusing the latter with
femlnino violenco and shrillness, but
with mnsculino picturcsqucucs of ex
pression, when tho raco has not been run
according to her instructions and the
horso has not won. When sho wins u
raco, however, sho goes off into hyster
ical exultation.
In Franco tho most prominent femi
nine figure upon tho turt is the widowed
Duchess do Castries, sister-in-law of
Marshal MacMahou and now married to
tho hitter's most intimate friend and ad
herent, tho Viscount Enuuanuol d'Har
court. Tho duchess inherited hor for
tune not from her first husband, who
possessed littlo beyond his ancient name
and title and iifewseiniruined chateaux,
hut from her father, who was the cele
brated Vieuneso banker, Sinn, a Hebrew
by raco, but a Catholic in religion.
At his death Siua left his money in
equal shares of if 15,000,000 each to his
four daughters. Ono of thorn, tho Prin
cess Gregory Ypsilanti, now a widow,
has with tho assistanco of her late hus
band, who was Greek minister to Aus
tria, squandered every cent and been
ohlifcvd to apply for relief to tho bank
ruptcy court at Vienna. Tlio second
and third daughters, who married Prime
Mayrocordato and Count W'inipH'cn io
spectively, each secured a divorce from
her husband, thereby saving her fottune.
Tho fourth of tho Sinn girls is the
Duchess do Castries, who still retains
her title and tho name of her first hus
band, although married to M. d'Harcourt.
Until four years ago she was in racing
partnership with the well known linii
cier, politician nnd sportsman, tho Huron
do Souboyran, but now sho has parted
company fromjiim nut! races uinler her

ewu natno and lior own coltra, Though
with less success than in days of yore.
At Vienna there are quite a largo num
ber of great ladies upon the turf, fore
most among whom is tho lovely Countess
Mario Apiionyl, who is a daughter of tho
demented Prince of Moutcnuovo. The
latter, now an iumateof the great insane
asylum at Deciding, near Vienna, is tho
ion of Empress Mario Louise of France,
fecund wile of Napoleon I, and of her
ugly old chamberlain, General ( 'mint von
N'eipperg. Prince Moutcnuovo hud, how
.i r. the misfortune to bo horn two years
pr vious to the death of Napoleon at hi.
ileleiia. and tho Neipperg family, which
is one of the oldest and most illustrious
hi Aiistihi, declined to permit tho boy to
hear tlnir name.
Emperor Francis took pity on his ille
gitimate grandchild and not only en
dowed him with considerable wealth,
but also with the title and name ol
Prince Moutcnuovo, which is tho Italian
translation of tho word Neipperg.
Yet nnother stable is that of tho ec
centric Baroness von Stahlberg, who
Koine time ago was sued by grooms for
injuries sustained in her stables, which
tho plaintiff described as a ptradise Inr
horses, and tho evidence showed them to
bo a very hell for men. From tho exam
ination of tho witnesses it appeared that
tho baroness is in the habit of entering
tho stables at noon and of often remain
ing there until early the next morning,
During the time she is there sho i.s ac
customed to feed tho animals with sugar
and cake and encourage them to kick
nnd bite the grooms, whom she keeps in
constant attendance upon the horses, of
ten forcing them to stay up all night to
watch and feed them.
Uuo of the plaintiffs stated that he
had been dismissed by tho baroness for
"insulting" n particularly vicious horse
by cursing it for having both kicked nnd
bitten him. At leant 'JO of the person!
in the court on that occasion bore traces
of tho injuries received in tho stnbles of
this most eccentric of baronesses. For
tunately there are few sportswomen like
her in Austria. A. D. Dkmino.

csls, as might bo suspected, for the two
ladies have had far more in common
than most eoplo would suppose. In
tho matter nf earl' training the advan
tages wero greatly in favor of the Amer
ican lady. In tho aids to culture that
more wealth could supply .Ittlia Waul
was quite equal to tho Princess Victoria,
while in all other things native talent,
intellectual paientage, early association
with eminent men and opportunities for
social development she was vastly su
penor Many women have had wealth,
many more talent and tho acquaintance
of great thinkers, but in no other Amer
ican woman, and in very few women of
any time or country, have these been
united as in Julia Ward Howe.
Her father, while without literary pre
tensions, was a man of rare business
euse and liberality. Her mother was a
woman of marked intellectual and poetic
powers, and her husband a noted philan
thropist and scientific student. Her lirst
teachers wero men of eminence in their
specialties, and for -10 years sho enjoyed
the acquaintance of nearly all the great
writers of England and America. Samuel
Wardwasasiiccessful Now York banker,
anil Julia Hush Ward, his wife, at one
time attained some famo as a poetess.
Their daughter .Julia was born Mayi!7,
1811), in Now York city. Her early edu
cation was remarkably thorough and
for that day liberal. Her tutor in Ger
man uud Latin was Dr. Joseph G. Cogs
well, and she not only excelled in these
studies, hut at a later period learned to
speak iluently in Italian, French and
Greek and wasdeoply versed in the philo
sophical works issued in thoso languages.
At an early ago sho wrote poems and
plays for children and produced a lew
philosophical essays which wero read to
n private circle of friends. Her father's
house was then tho lendezvous of tho
literary nnd social giants of the time,
and tho effect upon tho impressible mind
of tho talented girl may easily bo im
agined. Beautiful, wealthy and talented, she
of course did not lack for suitors, hut
from her indifference it seemed that sho
was destined ton life of single blessed
ness and literary labor. But at the ago
of 'Jit sho came to this city and took her
place tit once and naturally in tho bril
liant circle which included Emerson,
Sumner, Phillips, Margaret Fuller and
many more, and there sho met and loved
Dr. Samuel Grulley Howo, whose fame
is only second to her own. They were
married in 181!) and at once entered on
a long tour in Europe.
At this time it seemed that tho fame
of Dr. Howe would completely over
hailow that of his talented wife, for he
wns nearly 18 years her senior and al
ready celebrated. Ho was graduated
from Brown university in 1821 and from
the Harvard medical school in 1821 and
went immediately to Greece, where ho
wai surgeon in tho Greek war for hide
pendenco, then organized tho medical
staff of tho army and founded a colony
on tho isthmus of Corinth. In 18!)l ill
health compelled him to leave Greece
and ho dovotod himself to aiding the
struggling Poles, in which work he was
arrested in Prussia and imprisoned for
Mvoral weeks. lie founded the Musmi
chusotta schools for tho blind and tho
idiotic, edited an abolition paper, went
again to Greeco to aid the Cretans mid
served us ono of President Grant's coin
inissionem to Santo Domingo. But to most
American! his fame is inseparably con
tiectcd withtho story of Laura Bndgmau,
tho unfortunate in whom it is scarcely
nn exaggeration to say that he developed
in intellect and a soul. At tho age of 'i
years tho child lost sight and hearing
through scarlet fever, and consequently
soon forgot how to speak, yet in that
deaf, dumb uud blind girl, to whom ev
cry nvcnuo of knowledge save feeling
was closed, Dr. Howe discovered a keen
intellect Uo patiently epelimuiited
till ho had invented methods of cum
muuicnliou and taught her to read,
sew. play the piano and communicate
her ideas. Her history is an affecting
tribute to her teacher. In all the an
mils of humanitarian science theie is uo
