of June, he contracted to sell her to one
Teran for $4,000, and to deliver her at
Bona, on the coast of Africa, on or before
the first of October, 1889, and received
$1,000 in advance. The effect of this
arrangement was. that the schooner would
wear its American character till it reached
Africa, and be secure against British
seizure; and upon her arrival there she
would become Spanish, and the American
officers and crew, upon the return voyage,
would not be liable to be declared pirates
under the act of 1920; for, as construed
by Judge Belts, there is nothing in the
act to reach the case of an American
vessel, built and fitted out for the slave
trade, but actually sold to foreigner, and
employed by him. The libel was there
fore dismissed, and the schooner ordered
to be given up TO the claimant = Boston

To PREVENT Horses BEING TEAzED
BY FLIEs.-Take two or three small
handfuls Of walnut leaves, upon which
pour two or three quarts of cold water;
let it infuse one night, and pour the whole
next morning into kettle, and let it boil
for quarter of an hour-when cold it
will be fit for use. No more is required
than TO moisten sponge, and before the
horse goes out of the stable, lie: those parts
which are most irritable be smeared with
the liquor; viz: between and upon the
ears, the neck, the flank, sc. Not only
the lady or gentleman who rides out for
pleasure will derive benefit from the wal
nut leaves thus prepared, but the coach
man, he wagner, and all others who
use horses during the hot months.
A correspondent Of the Boston Post
says that it is an egregious error to use
binders on horses that it is a strange
custom derived from England, where it is
fast going out of use, and is almost un-
known elsewhere. He adds, that instead
of preventing, they increase shying, while
they add to the headstall an uncomforta-
bic weight. and interfere with the move
ments of the horse. Several gentleman
in Boston have disused them on their gig
harness.
