delicate and gratifying encouragement. s71 "
The appreciation whie h you convey of nv ser.

high c0mmendalion you bestow on the services
rendered IN Mexico by the first Mississippi rife

you, sir, and to the brave Missssippians under

The Horse / will state few things TINT I
have learned, and they may be of benefitto your
readers. A horse that is driven on hard roads is
liable to get stiff in the joints In 1888 had an
animal which after driving three or four days,
got quite lame An old Baltimore teamstcr told
me to wash the mares legs in a toerable salt
brine, which was done according ly. three times a
day for the balance of the journey. at The stiffness
disappeared in few days and / drove the mare
fourteen hundred miles aferward, and there was
no more trouble on that account What pleased
me most was, the mare had very poor foot to
hold shoe, when [, started 1t was very brittle
and hard - II would break out when IA nail was
put in But it grew together at every shoeing
A blacksmith in new England remarked TO. me
that her foot had singular appearance; where he
pared il was soft and tough. L account for it in
this way; salt will attract moisture from the at
mosphere, which keeps the foot moist all thetime;
and salt has nearly the same effect that grease has
on a foot or piece Of timber" The dfippings Of
salt on floor If continued long cannot be got off
the wood becomes moist and tough, and so with
horses foot After washing the legs, turn the
horses foot, clean the bottom, ponr the hollow full
of brine and bold for few minutesdto soak
bottom The practice ofrasping the foot all over
to toughen it is abominable. ad IT, $50. $50

ance Of French corvette, and by bribing
the king of the country with musket and
ammunition, the fugitives were captured.
Bot it was more than probable that ihey
and others would renew the attempt should

tive but 10 keep the sea, and hope Coz bss.
ter days and for the convalescence az IN,
invalids. Two of these died Neither Bibls
nor prayer-book were on board the goddess
craft, and like dogs, without form Of Chris
-tian burial, the dead were launched into
the deep. The situation of the survivors
inspired with considerable uneasiness ihe
few amongst them capable OF reflection.
The captain was ignorant Of navigation /; il
was the mate who, from the commencement
of the voyage, had kept the ships reckon
ing, and kept it all to himself. He had
only to get washed overheard in gale, or
to walk over in drunken fit, TO leave his
shipmates in fix of the most unpleasant
description, ignorant of latitude, Longitude,
and OF everything else necessary to be known
to guide the vessel on her course. And as
70 the sperm whales, which Jermin had
promised them in such abundance that they
would only have to strike and take, not
single fin showed itself. At last the captain
was reported dying, and the mate took
counsel with Long Ghost, Typee, and 9TH
ers Of the crew. He would gladly have
continued the cruise, but his wish was
overruled, and the whaler's stern was turn
ed towards the Society Islands.
The first glimpse of the peaks of Tahiti
was hailed with transport by the Julia's
weary mariners They had got notion
that if the captain left the ship, their arti-
cles were no longer binding, and they should
be free to follow his example. And, at any
rate, the sickness on board and the shaky
condition Of the barque, guaranteed them,
as they thought, long and blissful leisure
amongst the waving palm-groves and soft
eyed Neuhas Of Polynesia. Their arrival
in sight Of Papeetee, the Tahitian capital,
was welcomed by the boom Of cannon. The
frigate Refine Blanche, a. whose fore flew
the flag of Admiral Du Petit Thouars, thus
celebrated the compulsory treaty, concluded
that morning, by which the island was
coded to the French.
