NOVEL IpEA--A GRAND HoRsE ExHB-
TIoN.--Some of leading and active citizens
have had under private discussion for some weeks
grand plan for exhibition of horses from all
parts OF New England, New York, and adjoining
states, TO take place at Springfield about the last
OF oeptempcr The plan embraces n liberal set
OF premiums for superior animals of various kinds,
and the gathering here on the occasion of MANY
distinguished gentlemen from abroad.
No private interests or prejudces are nj tho
bottom OF the idea; it is the birth of an intelligent
and enthusiastic PRIDE IN that nobest of all do
nestle animals---the horse-and a desire To rot
together, what never has been got together. n

The JEALOUSY OF RIyALs.--There are beyond
doubt many honorable exceptions, and should be
more, to the rule here laid down by writer in a
late number Of Black,cood's Maga-ine
SIN order to begct hatred it only seems neces-
sary that two men should start in the same path.
They may be friends at first, but in very short
time afterwards are sure to find them foes, the
success of the one being gall and NORWOOD to the
other. Do you doubt this, Then look around
you. Who the most unlnerciful critics of
works of art Who tonlahawk incipient poets?
Poetasters. Moot but point on theology, and
you straghtway have reverend doctors abusing
each other with heartiness that would do credit
to Blingsgate, and indicating in disguised Ian
guage the future destination of their compeers.
Let medical practitioner start new theory, and
his brethren quickly down upon him. He is
quack-a rogue-an ass-an impostor. Even
though the life of patient be at stake they scorn
to hold consultation with who is disgrace to
his order. Better that Mrs. Jones should die I'M
aided than that the noble faculty should be pro-
famed Furnish couple of rival tragedians with
real Andres Ferara-let them fight it out in the
last act of Macbeth, and to moral certainty one
of them will be pinked or hideously slashed. Did
you ever know reigning beauty who looked
kindly on young debutante? If such spectacle
was ever seen, you may be sure that there was u
mortal venom beneath the smile. Men said that
lawyers, as being constantly pitted against each
other, the least jealous of all the profession
ais; but we have heard of such things as systema-
tic snubbing from the seniors. An early chapter
in the Book of Genesis is suggestive of the rea-
son. The first murder arose from hatred engen-
dered by jealousy and jealousy at the present day
is as active and-vigorous ever.

WAsHNcroN's WEALrH-THE MouNT YER
NON EsTArE.-The following extract is taken
from old book published by Russell & West,
Boston, in the year 1900, entitled Washington 8
Political Legaces, +" and dedicated by the editors
TO Mrs. Martha Washngton: aE
General Washington was at one time proba-
bly, of the greatest and-holdcrs in the United
States. His annual receipt from his estates
amounted in 1706, TO four thousand pounds sterl-
ing. His property, at the same period, was esti-
mated to be worth hundred and sixty thou
sand pounds sterling, which is a very large sum
in Federal money, and was considered very
great fortune at that early day in this country for
any one man to possess.
'sIIis estate at Mount Vernon alone was com
puted in 1857 TO consist of nine thousand acres o.
land, of which enough was in cultivation to pro-
duce, in single year, ten thousand bushels O.
and seven thousand bushels of wheat. In
succeeding year he raised two hundred lambs
sowed twenty seven bushels of faxseed, anc
planted seven hundred bushels of potatoes. Ht
desisted, it was said from planting tobacco
which was then extensively raised in Virginia. 70,
the purpose of setting an example, by employing
this extensive means in the introduction and fos
tering of such articles of domestic use and neces
sity as would ultimately tend to the best advant
age of his country. His domestics, at the same
time, industriousIy employed in manufac-
turing woollen cloth and linen i'll sufficient guam
titles to cothe his numerous household, which
numbered nearly one thousand persons.

Ds. porrER thus goodnaturcdly alludes to GER
tain well-known ssprovincialsms in American
manners:
81 am little afraid that great many people
in this country are rather prone to undervaiuc
this mart Of education. Certainly we have no
admiration for any thing fnical or affected in
manners. We don't want the manners of vii
lage dancing school. But genuine good breeding,
gentle manners, ease, modesty, and proPriety OF
Bearing, we do exceedingly value When shall
we cease to be described a splitting natlon-asa
lounging peoples When shall we cease to be
known by our slovcnly speech, by our practice OF
sitting with our feet higher than our heads Dur
ing an excursion of several months in Europe last
year met hundreds Of English at home and on
the continent, in every sort OF situation never
saw one spit cannot remember that ever saw
any one, however fiatigued, lounging sitting in
any unbecomng manner! So long as the State
shall feel itself obligated TO provide spittoons for
its Legislative halls-so long as the directors of
our railroads shall find occasion to attach to the
inside of their carriages printed requests to the
passengers TO 'use the spittoors and not the floor,
and not to put their feet upon the seatsso long as
we shall continue to fill our conversation and our
political harangues with the slang of the fish
ket let not be surprised angry if foreigners
sometimes make themselves witty at our expense
And in the meantime let all those who en-
trusted with the of the young their ut
most efforts to correct these national barbarisms
and to form the manners of the rising generation
after model more elevated and more refined"
