tanner. Mr.. Rarey is famous il Englsnt. MIR.
Rarsy accordingly is famous in America. Reputa-
ton faue-is having ones lame repeated GER
tain, or I'll VI certAn, number Of times We ques-
tor If any reputation in the full sense Of the term
CT be acquired in this country without the inter
yertion Of this foreign Endorsement. Barnum
u isht have INDUCED in his Tom Thumb nonsense to
oil eternity in New York, and remained an average
Snowman; but he went to Europe, exhibited q
dwarf before the Queen, and all loyalty and fun
keydom then rushed to see the sight-rlshed past
Hsydon's picture without considering it, and thus
saving the psinter from suicide. Al this muck
was duly copied into the American press, and Bar
NUNS fortune was made When Jenny Lind WAS
lyricsly caIonized in England, her fans was estab
li,hed, ard Of course donkey dom brayed responsive
On this eide of the Atlantic Our yachts were
considered as matters Of course-not worth as
much notice as our oyster-boats. They went
little faster or little slower-what odds But a
yacht goes TO Epgland-beats the whole English
regatta--beats them out Of sieht-and the America
then figured il telegrspbic dispatches, in solemn
leaders, ard was a great historical fact
Not to multiply examples, let US take this
latest piece Of our national fame created ia
England, that Of Mr.. Rarey. The horse tanner Mr..
Rarey is as well known in England to newspaper
reader, the royal family and here his feats are as
famous as those of Walker the fllibuster, or the
policy CT Bachelor Buchanan. But how much Of
Mr. Rayey would be famous had he tanned horses in
New. York, where every body is nobody, aud not
gone 10 England and tanned horses of the Court and
nobility Mr.. Rarey would have been spoken of
perhaps by few young men and old men, whose talk
ia of horses; he might have been mentioned in spsss
ing way bys,me of our adopted fellow citizens who
curry horses ard keep stables but Of reputation
fame-he would not have had much. Not that MI.
Rarey does not do great thisg; not that he is not
original; not that the best mode of suibuipg and
training horses is not heroic idea-heroc in point
of manly courage, of gentle sentiment, of industrial
economics, Of national grandeur even-for the
horse and his rider arc two of the greatest facts in
history, the copJuncts of conquest, the symbols
Of civilization; but there il nobody here to
glorify Mr.. Rarey-nobody here stands for
the natioI-and, moreover, nothing surprises
New-York, and New-York makes the least
possible account of everything done 10 other
American cities. But Mr. Rsrey's celebrity-Sorne
on tie electric wres celebrated ia the leading arti
cles Of thu London journals; used by Mr.. Punch to
,et forth Cabinet rearings, kickings and subjuga-
tions; certified to by my Lord Dorchester, pro-
pretor Of that internal beast Cruiser who was too
bad to live and too precious to kill-now is ac-
cepted with Difference BY New-Yotk. Mr.. Rarey
is the horse tanner The value of horse. tanning
the trouble, limbs and lives it saves-its moral sub
limity--all is now acknowledged. And yet Mr.
RaIey is not alone. Men here profess to tame
horses, and nobody notices them in the magnf-
cence of big type. How is this! There is Mr.. En-
mons, of neighboring city who gives lessons at a
riding school to classes, and "aDy horse, mule or
{" zebra that can be produced will BIO tanned and
" controlled by his command" VIII nobody,
representing foreign nations, indorse Dir. En-
mons Will Lord Napier Why must the
prophet 90 abroad for honor1 Must the fact
of the equality of ranks in this country
the consequent absence of any national representa-
tive, whose smile is as the suns glory, and whose
praise i, as the all encasirg ar-must this cause
us to neglect great and good things which Heaven
showers upon us, and wait until We can get them,
slienated of their native majesty, from foreign
hands? Feninore Cooper wrote fercely and Bit
terly on his .countrymen, and truly, when he said
the most ordinary single line of praise Of an Ameri

The as regards literature, i. now largely changed
for the better but as rule in the Rhols scope of
American achievement, we are shsmsfully wanting
