A BUCKJUMPER. Twain once .bought a ihbrse bj uOion. "In the afternoon,'.V f he?ays, " 1 brought the creature into thejpla'za,. aqd Cfttain citizens held him by the head, and Others by the tail, while I mounted hi*. As soon as they let go, he placed all his'feet in a bunch together, lowered his'back, and then suddenly arched it upward, and shot me straight into the air, a matter, of three Or four feet. I came as straight down again, ■•- ;« iliA mAA]» iwnt inctnntta Tin «*— : -» most on the high po op again, and came down on the hone's neck all in the space of three or foursecandi. Then he" rose and stood almost straight up on his hind feet, and I clasping his lean neck desperately, slid back into the saddle, and held on. He came down, and immediately hoisted his heels into the air, delivering a vicious kick at the sky, and stood On bis fore feet; and then down he came once more, and began the original exercise of shooting me straight up again. The third time I went up, I heard a stranger lay, 'Oh, don't he buck, though!' While I was up, somebody struck the horse a soundIhwack with a leather strap, and when I arrived again ■ the horse' was not there." PEERAGES FOUNDED ON TRADE. In olden times, the wealth and commerce of London, conducted as it was by energetic and enterprising men, was a prolific source of peerages. Thus, the earldom of Cornwallis was founded by Thomas Comwallis, the Cheaps:de merchant; that of Essex by William Capel, the draper; and that of Craven by William Craven, the merchant tailor, ffhe modern Earl of Warwick is not descended from " the kingmakers," but ;irom William Greville, the woolstapler; whilst the modern Earls of Northumber- . land find their head, not in the Percies, but in Hugh Smithson, a respectable London apothecary. The founders of the families fret were respectively a skinner, a silk manufacturer, a merchant tailor, and a Calais merchant; whilst the founder of the peerages of Tankerville, Dormer, and Coventry, were mercers. The ancestors of Earl Romney and Lord Dudley and Ward were goldsmiths and jewellers; and Lord Dacres was a banker in the reign of Charles 1., as Lord Overstone is in that of Queen Victoria. Edward Osborne, the founder of the ■ dukedom of Leeds, was apprenticed to William Hewet, a rich cloth-worker on London Bridge, whose only daughter ha courageously rescued from drowning by leaping into the Thames after her, and eventually married. Among other peerages Leigh, Petre, Cowper, Darnley, Hill, and Carrington.
