In India when ashorse can, and will not draw,
instead of whipping, spurring or burning him,
as is frequently praetised in most civilized eoun-
tries, they quietly get rope, and attaching it
to one Of the fore feet, one or two men take hold
of it, and advancing few PAGES ahead of the
horse, pull their best. No matter how stubborn
the animal may be, a few doses of such treat

HATRED OF THE CTRCAssIAN WOMEN TOWARDS
THE RUssIASs.-As an incident of the bitter ha.
tired felt by the Cireassians towards the Rus
slams, it is stated that few years ago, a slave
ship sprung leak out at sea, just as Russian
steamer passed in the distance The Turkish
slave-dealer who preferred even the chill blasts
of Siberia to grave even in deep water, made
signals of distress, and the steamer came up in
time to rescue the ship and its living cargo from
destruction. But so deeply is hatred implanted
in every Circassian heart, that the spirit of the
girls reyolted at the thought of becoming the
helpmates Of the gray coated soldiers, instead
OF sharing the sumptuous couch of a Turkish
Pasha They had bid adieu to their native
mountains with little emotion, but as the Rus
sian ship approached, they set up terrible and
despairing scream. Some sprang headlong into
the sea, others drove their knives into their
hearts To these heroines, death was prefera-
BILE to the bridal bed of detested Muscoyite
The survivors were taken to Anapa and married
to Cossaeks, or given to officers as servants.

Origin Of the Term "old Dominion"

Few things are so well calculated toawa,
ken in the mind Of the proud Virgniall,
when wandering in foreign lands, touching
"reminiscences Of home and kindred, as the
simple mention Of the .Olu Dominion
Aud yet there are comparatively few who
are aware OF the orisinot the term which
has 50 long and SO generally been applied TO
Virginia. 1t originated thus: Dullns the
Protec,ora,e Of Cromwell, The Colony Of
Virginia refused TO acknowledge his aulhori-
t. aud declared itselfindependent Shortly
after. when Cromwell threatened 10 send a
fleet and army 10 reduce Virginia TO subjec-
ton, The alarmed Yirginians sent messen-
ger ID Charles H., who was then un exile in
Funders, inviting him 10 return in the ship
with the messenger aud be king OF Virginia.
Charles accepted the invitation, and was on
the eve o embarka,iou, when he was called
TO tic ,hlone Of England. As soon as he was
seated OIL his throne, in gratitude Tor the 10y
ats Of Virginia, he caused her coat OF arms
10 be quatereti with those Of England, Ire.
land aud Scotland, as all independent mem.
Der Of the empire--a distinct portion Of the
"old dominion" Hence arose the origin OF
The term. Copper coias Of Virginia were
issued even as late as The reign Of George
Ill, which bore OIL one side the coats Of
arms Of England, Scotland Ireland aud Viz.

The Proposed railroad.

The Baltimore Sun is mistaken, we imag.
inc, in surprising that The Monongahela and
Ravenswood railroad is expected 10 receive
material add from Baltimore. Its true thai
road will, when made, cross the Baltimore
and Ohio road; but the crossing will be such
a one as will not be likely to result in much
benefit to Baltimore or TO her great road
The two roads, although both might be ex'
pected to run in the same general direction
the one, to reach Philadelphia and The 9th.
er, to reach Baltimore, would at this point
run so that a passenger going 10 the former
place and one going TO the latter would start
in precisely opposite directions. Besides
nobody would cross the Northwestern rail
road, which taps the Baltimore railroad
more than twenty miles above Fairmonl, fol
the pleasure. of changing roads and cars here
Baltimore nigh, be injured by the proposed
road, but i, is not within the bounds Of prob.
ability that she should be benefited byit.

would hardly be a rival at all. It is truc
that much Of the same travel and trade
might go over the Covngton road if this road
should not be built. Butnot, in the contrary
contingency. The Virginia and Tennessee
