The AMERICAN HonsEs IN EseLAxp.-we learn
with regret from Porter's Spirit, that Mr.. Ten
Broeck's American stable in England has met
with misfortunes. :" Lecompte" has given way
in his fOrelegs to such degree that he will not be
able to start in race the coming season. and it is
doubtful Il he will ever be fit to appear upon the
turf. '' Prioress' is suffering from spring halt,
and the entire weight of supporting his country's
racing fame rests upon " Pryor." who has also
been ailing in his feet. At last accounts, "Pry-
or" was call right" and high hopes are enter
tanned that he will be in fit state to distinguish
himself when the buge brings him to the scene.
These mishaps to the American horses were occa-
stoned by being put in training too soon after a
long sea voyage, and before they had become ac--
climated

New POSTAGE LAW The new postage law just
passed by congress requires prepayment Of all tran
sent printed matter. Books not weighing over
four pounds pay one cent m ounce for any distance
in the United States under 5000 miles, and two
cents an ounce over that distance, but they must
be enclosed in wrapper open at the ends. I'm
sealed circulars, business-cards, newspapers, &C.,
not weighing over three ounces, pay one cent A
business card on an envelope subjects the whole to
letter postage. Any transient matter, like a cir
cular oil handbill. enclosed in or with periodical,
or newspaper sent to subscriber, or to any other
person, subjects the whole package to letter post
age, from being sealed, or from any cause whatev-
er, all printed matter, without exception, must be
prepaid or excluded from the mail. Il is the duty
Of the postmaster at the mailing office, as well as
the Office ofdelivery carefully to examine all print
ed matter, in order to see that i. is charged with
the proper rate of postage and to detect fraud
These are the postmaster generals regulations un-
der the law.

MORAL lNsANiTy.-A protest is in circula-
ton among the physicians of New York city
against the reception of tho doctrines advanced
by Drs. Parker and Gilman, in their testimony
in the Huntington forgery case, upon the sub
jeci Of moral insanity, as the opinions of the
medical faculty generaly.-In late murder
trial at Maidstone, England, the plea of muir
der'mania was urged by the defense, which
Judge Bromwell put down in this common. sense
manner:-
" If he understood the meaning Of the term
homicidal monomania, il was that man en-
tertained the bad desire to kill another and
could not control it and he would only observe
that if it were to go forth that any man who
killed another would escape the consequences,
if he established such fact, il would have
most dangerous effect upon society, aud il ap-
peared TO him that the object of the law was
to check such feelings and to teach those who
were base enough 10 entertain them, that GER
tain punishment would follow if they carried
them out. The real questions they had 10
consider were whether the prisoner knew the
nature OF the act he was committing, and whelli-
or he knew 1t was wrong act, and if SO it
would be their duty to say that he was guilty"

Observation-Disclosures Parker, in lecture
before the Washingtonian society of Boston,
last week, said that he still adhered TO the moi

by the Washing tonians; he had given his in

CURED among many II the best temperance
men.-Ihe n. y. Stale Register Is exposing
the fraudulent and mischievons adullerations of
liquor pracliced by dealers 10 that city. A bot
tie of the best brandy, labelled Old Otard, vim
tage Of 1903, was found, on analysis, TO be on
ly common American whisky, favored with
what is called oil Of Cognac, most deadly poi
son. Genuine liquors now bear SO high price
that the temptation to fraud is very great, and
the Providence Journal is not far from the truth
when il says 1.-The safest Thing to buy is
American whisky, which is so much cheaper
than other liquors that il is not so likely 10 be
initiated and upon which man may make
brute of himself at a moderate expense, and
conirive to kill himself in few years."
AT Morganiown, Indiana, recently, ten pub
lie spirited women cleared on, doggery KEEP,
by fellow named Worthing. After emptying
his liquor upon the ground they offered to pay
for it if the owner would agree not to bring any
more into the place, assuring him at the same
time that il he did it should speedily find its
level.-There was manufactured IN Cincinnati
and vicinity last year, 49, 26O 900 gallons proof
whisky. This is only about seven millions
gallons short of the entire product of Engan
Ireland and Scotland. The product of the Ohio
valley exceeds by one hundred per cent The en-
tire product Of England, Ireland and Scotland.
The consumption of whisky in ireland in 1856
was 1925, 1856 gallons, over two millions gal
Ions less than in ls45-hgures which measure
the precise result of the temperance movement,
mainly effected by the efforts of the late father
Matthew. ..

A Coop STORY SPoILED.-The story going
the rounds of the papers, that Mr.. Buchanan
will write his inaugural with an eagle quill,
which that noble bird took the trouble TO drop
at the feet Of Mr.. Senator Brown of Mssis-
sippi is thus pricked by the Baltimore Pdtri-
ot
at is great pity to spoil so romantic sto-
ry, but as this is a prosac age, and we have 10
do with matter of fact people, we venture TO
give, on good authority, the following version
of The manner in which this particular eagles
feather was actually procured, and the keen and
sarcastic remark lis proposed use elected from
a Republican Senator.
Senator Brown was visiting a friend in the
neighborhood of Washington, who has in a
cage fine bald eagle. While this friend was
exhibiting it to his guest, the imprisoned bird
dropped fiom his wing feather, which Sena-
tor Brown picked up, exclaiming he would send
il as present to Mr.. Buchanan. On his re-
turn to Washington, he met Mr.. Seward, and
after relating the incident, told him he intended
to send this feather from an eagles wing to the
President elect, that he might appropriately
make use of il in writing his inaugural address
'Humph !! responded Seward, quietly, in his
dry way, an eagle-a Gagged eagle; SLAVE
eagle = ....I
What world of meaning is couched in these
few but significant words, and how completely
they destroy all the romance concerning The ca
gles feather"
