BROWN & CALKINS, Proprietors. . SATURDAY EV’NG JULY 30, '92 A REMARKABLE JUMP. AN INCIDENT IN THE LIFE OF THE EMPRESS OF AUSTRIA. Mer Horse Took the Bit Between His Teeth and Made a Terrible Run—An Almost Miraculous Leap Over an Open Drawbridge—A Plucky Woman, to an accident which befell the empress of.Austria, and which was so terrible that her escape from death seems to me even now a miracle. Elizabeth of Austria, as she liked to call herself, was at that time not only the most daring but also the best rider in the world. No man or woman ever knew better how to take an obstacle than this most charming of all crowned women. Though her majesty was then already a grandmother, on horseback she could give odds to the best Hungarian and English riders. The party at the event of which I am writing-consisted of the empress and a large number of Austrian and foreign gentlemen riders, who seemed to have gathered together from al] parts of Europe. ' Most horsemen. This was not surprising considering that the émpress would never take the field in company of poor riders. On this occasion the empress rode a very spirited young horse, which she had obtained in Lancashire when on a visit to England, and to the training of which she had personally attended for nearly a year. Everything went well after the start until we crossed a highway leading to a small Hungarian ing a white painted milestone the em press’ horse shied, .and. suddenly becoming uxcontrollable it dashed down the road_in the direction of the town From appearance it was evident that the animal had succeeded in taking the bit between his teeth and that no earthly power could stop it on its mad runaway. Although we all followed the empress none of us seemed to gain upon her Flying we passed through the littl town, much to the amazement and the terror ofthe few people in the streets A short distance beyond the town was 4 shipping canal, and to our horror we saw that the drawbridge spanning the canal was open s0 as to pertuit the pas gage of some boat. In a tnoment wi straight into the jaws of certain death Faster and faster we went on in purguit, but faster and faster also seemed the empress’ horse to fly. Would it stop? Before we had time to think we saw the animal dash up the incline of the open bridge like a flash of lightning For a moment we could not but close our eyes and a shudder convulsed every man in the cavalcade. It was a terrible moment—a moment during which fear and horror alternately kept us mercilessly in their pangs. When we opened our eyes again, still riding as fast as our Now it had 4 For these complaints take Simmons: (iver Regulator.

Rheumatism, Sciatica, LumThousands of bottles are prohad happened and that Elizabeth of Austria was drowned in the slow and. turbid waters of the canal. The idea wasa terrible one. My pen is too weak to describe the confusion among us and the agony of suspense that followed and seemed to make each rider quiver in his saddle. Almost unconsciously we had stopped our horses just before reaching the incline to the open draw. As a matter of fact our excitement was so great that we did rot even notice that one of our number, Count Szepany, if . remember well, was also nissing. All our faculties naturally had followed the empress only. There we were, halting before that terrible bridge like a pack of cowards, with nobody among us plucky enough to ride into death with an empress. A few seconds later the inclines of the bridge were lowered again, but nobody to pass it. From the pangs of fear and horror we had passed into those of amazement. Several hundred yards beyond the bridge we beheld riding toward us a lady on a foaming steed. It was the empress, and at her side the only gallant man of the crowd, Count Szepany. Her majesty firmly sat her horse, and appeared as cool and collected as if nothing had hapmed. Smilingly did she make fun of us and our anxiety. Her fine raillery was just as much justified as it was inoffensive ‘when she saw-the pitiable figure we cut in her exalted presence. The empress’ horse was very lame. and closer examination showed that it had dislocated its righi hind fetlock. In jumping the open draw between the empress’ horse had caught one of the iron rails at the edge and torn off one of its hind shoes. The most extraordinary feature of the accident was how the horse ever could -have gone down the incline without breaking its own and tthe rider's neck. The only explanation for this small miracle, however, might ‘tbe found in the fact that the empress mever lost her presence of mind for a minute when on horseback, and that, though the anima! was uncontrollable, phe must have sat it to perfection. With . . regard to Count Szepany, he was unable ‘to give any accountof his escape. Moreover, he did not even remember whethe) his horse made the jump before or afte the empress’. He simply said that dur ing the jump he closed his eyes for « second, and that he then experienced 1 sensation as though the water were bub‘bling over his head.—Harper's Youny People. —~ { A Seythe as Old as Moses.
