A Milk-white Thoroughbred.— A true 
white horse, bora white and thoroughbred, 
is understood to lie so great a rarity in 
Europe, unless it be an mportation from 
the East, whore it is com mon enough, that 
the birth of such an animal has been 
thought worthy of special announcement 
in Le Sport, which prints a letter to the 
following effect: “A thoroughbred mare, 
Perseverance, of English blood, by Water- 
gage and a Faugh-a-Ballagh mare, has 
lately thrown a colt foal (the sire being 
Bagdad) the description of which is as fol¬ 
lows : White, perfectly snow-white, with 
a few red hairs on the ears, all the hair 
very short, eyelids and nostrils rose-color, 
hoofs white ’ * * * The colt is large, 
lively and well shaped.” It may be men¬ 
tioned that Perseverance, now belonging, 
it appears, to the brothers Lange, was 
bred in France by the late Baron de Nexon 
in 1858, and Bagdad, sire of the white colt, 
bears a name which seems to point to an 
Arab parentage, but no information is 
given on tliat point, and there is or was a 
French sire named Bagdad, foaled in 1862, 
by West Australian, out of Young Lady, by 
Inouian. However, all the Bagdads to be 
found in the French Stud Book are des¬ 
cribed as bay, gray or chestnut, and Per¬ 
severance herself is described as bay, So 
that the color of the white colt has no 
immediate hereditary justification. 
A Pretty Bird Story.—As a contribu¬ 
tion to the fund of graceful things told of 
the storks, we clip the following from our 
German contemporary, the Thierfreund, 
the organ of the Vienna Society for the 
Protection of Animals. That paper publish¬ 
es the story as having been received from 
a perfectly trustworthy source : Year af¬ 
ter year a pair of storks built their nest on 
the roof of a Hungarian landowner's resi¬ 
dence, arriving regularly in the early spring 
and taking their departure, with a young 
brood, towards the end of summer. One 
year the owner of the houso caused one of 
the storks to be caught, and fastened round 
its neck an iron collar, on which was the 
inscription, “Ex Hungaria colonia N.N. 
The following season the birds came back 
as usual, and round the neck of on® of 
them was seen some glittering object, 
which aroused the curiosity of their host. 
On capturing the bird he found to his as¬ 
tonishment in place of the iron collar 
which he had affixed the year before a 
golden necklet bearing the words, Ex 
India colonia mitto donum cum ciconia. 
—Chamois hunting and deer stalking 
are the chief outdoor amusements of the 
Austrian court at Ischl. The beaters start 
long before dawn, and the game is driven 
past the Emperor and his party, stationed 
at given spots in the woods. The courtiers, 
courtier-like, always yield his Majesty the 
pas, and leave him the first shot, which 
may have something to do with the 
numerous trophies of the chase which 
adorn the Kaiser villa. With a good glass 
the chamois can be often seen clambering 
up on tbe rocky patches among the pine- 
covered mountains round Ischl. 
—That famous sporting association, the 
Jockey Club of England, dates from the 
latter' lialf of the reign of George the 
Seeond, and the first mention of a Jockey 
Club plate at Newmarket occurs in the 
1 ‘ Racing Calendar ” of 1753. The club, as 
the name indicates, was at it outset a body 
of noblemen and gentlemen who rode their 
own homes, which they did down to 1753, 
when the services of professional riders 
were substituted for that of amateurs. 
Still, for some years after it was the fashion 
for members of the club to appear in the 
saddle ; and the story is often now told at 
Newmarket of how the , Duke of Queens- 
bury frustrated the evil designs of some 
conspirators, who were tampering with his 
jockey in a great match by taken bets Up 
to the eleventh hour, and at the last mo¬ 
ment titrowing off his coat, riding his 
horse himself, and steering him in the vic¬ 
tor of many tho usands. 
Rat and Mice Exterminator.—A Ger¬ 
man newspaper gives the following simple 
method of exterminating rats and mice, 
■which it states has been successfully tried 
by one Baron Von Backhofen and others 
for some time past : “A mixture of two 
parts of well-braised common squills and 
three parts of finely-shopped bacon is made 
into a stiff mass, with as much meal as 
may be required, and then baked into 
small cakes, which are put around for the 
rats to eat.” Several correspondents of the 
paper write to confirm the experience of 
the noble baron and his neighbors in the 
extirpation of rats andmiceby this remedy.
