NICrSIrCDES OF T. ORTCNE.-l lie writer
in the London Economist, sums up a very
able article on Napoleon III, as follows:
The same man who landed at Boulogne
in 1910, with a single steamer and a few
friends, on a desperate and abortive expe-
dition, revisits in 1854, to review vast
army and receive the homage of countless
spectators. The same man who six years
ago lived in obscurity in London, scarcely
able to pay his tailor's bill-whom many
looked upon as stupid, and whom none
looked upon as wise, of whom few auger-
ed well, and whom few would trust much,
we have just seen receiving visits, and conf
pliments of the consort of our Queen, en-
tertaining thrceroyal guests at his table,
one Of them the son-in-law oc the very
monarch whom he had succeeded, and adj
mittel beyond all denial into the social cir
Gle of royal pcrsonages. Nor is this
change in his singular fortunes the only
one, nor perhaps the greatest. We can
imagine him smiling with even more grim
satisfaction as he contrasts the language
of the Englishprcss regarding him in 1852
and now; sitting with the Times or the
Examiner, of December, 1851, or of Aug
ust, 1884, before him, and marvclling at
the metamorphosis, the unmaasurcl abuse
which was showcTed upon him at the for
mer date, and the dccor,us respect AMI

EVENING STAR,
How to Judge q Horse.

The following rules for judging the charac
ter of horse. are gsing the rounds of tb
agricultural journals. 1t may be useful
therefore, to give them in connection with
few comments.
If the color be light sorrel or chestnut, hi
feet legs, and face white, these are marks o
kindness. a.
If he is broad and full between the ewes. b,
may be depended on as horse of good sense
thing.
AS respects such horses, the mora kind,,
you treat them the better you will be treated
in return. Nor will horse of this descrip
ton stand whip if we'll fed (2)
Ii you want safe horse, avoid one that il
dish faced; he may be so far gentle as not t,
scare, but he will have too much 90 ahead il
him to be safe for everybody
II you want fool, but horse of great bot
tom, got horse of deep bay, with not whit,
hair about him, if his face is a little dished
30 much the worse. Let no man ride such 8
horse who is not an adept in riding-they ar.
always tricky and unsafe 81
If you want one who will never give ONT
never buy large, overgrown one. a black
horse cannot stand heat nor a white one cold
~
II you want gentle horse get one with
more or less white about him-the more the
better. Many suppose that the parti color ed
horses belonging to circuses, shows, &c, arr
sell lected for their odity. But the selection,
thus made are on account of their greatiocil
ity and gentleness.
Comments.-ll.) One of the most tricky ami
NAL We ever knew was a sorrel mare. with 5
white face and feet Among other strataeem,
she would affect lameness on the road. and
noid her nose to the water without drinking
to deceive her driver
C) We once owned light bay horse. with
white feet and face, whose hide appeares
more nearly to resemble that of rhinocero
than any thing else. It required strong anc
swift arm to WELD whip, so as to produce ar
we'll fed. ''
(3) We have now fine deep bay horss, the
safest horse to drive We ever possessed. with.
out single white hair on his face or feet: 3
woman or child may drive him, and he cares
not straw for locomotive whistle within
three yards of him.
a. Nothing is more true than that a white
horse will endure the suns rays best, and a
black one becomes quickly hot under thei
heating influence, other things being equal
This is fact not sufficiently known or heed ed
by those who are compelled to drive horses
in hot weather. But we question whether a
waite morse suffers any more from the cold
than black one. If animal heat is like
solar heat, the white animal would suffer least,
for whatever absorbs heat most rapidly, parts
with it most readily. Probably animal heat
has less to do with color than solar heat has
yet there is reason why arctic animals, as
the polar bear and snow owls, are clothed with
white Snow, white wool, and swans down
are efficient non conductors of heat. White
mittens are probably rather better than black
ones. And if white horses are tenderest, i,
must be from some other cause.

An Egyptiau LADY

She wore, first, chemise of some thin
white material with loose sleeves, embroider.
ed round the edge. hanging over her hands;
then largo pair of crimson silk trowsers, SO
long and wide, that they entirely concealed
her bare feet; then came a garment like the
Turkish an cree, descending to the feet before
hanging in train behind, and opening at the
sides, with long sleeves open from the wrist to
the elbow, and falling back SO as to display
those of the chemise heneath. This dres.
was made of crimson damask, and embroider.
ed all round the edge with block braiding, and
was con6ned-not at the wrist, but over the
hips-with an Indian shawl, wound two or
three times round, and knotted before. The
last was jacket, reaching only to the waist,
with half sleeves, made of exceedingly rich
stuff or dark blue silk, embroidered ali over,
running pattern, with gold, and edged with
gold braiding and buttons. Three large silver
over the shawl girdle.
The head dress is the prettiest part of the
Egyptian costume-and Sofas was exceeding
ly rich. Her hair was divided into twenty @,
thirty small braids, hanging over her sheul-
ders, to the end of which are affixed three silh
cords strung with gold coins of various sizes
Two rows of gold coins, as large as half crown
pieces laid close together, ehcircled her fore
head, and at each temple were suspended
smaller ones, with an agate ornament in the
middle. The back of her head was covered
with small Egyptian Fee, ornamented will
@ large C%oors of solid gold, and bound on by
a handkerchief of embroidered Grape. She
wore two necklaces of large gold coins, thick.
ly strung together, and each individual piece
of money suspended from massive ornament
in the form of fish; one of these necklaces
was long, and the other just encircled he1
throat; and between them was a string O.
beads of Egyptian agates, as large as birds
eggs, and strung together with golden links
Her ear rings were of gold fligree, in tn,
shape of flowers; and her bracelets-of which
We computed that she carried about thre,
hundred and fifty pounds on her person, i,
coins alone, without including her other or
numents. Romer's PsIertmaee.
