Mr.. Rarey the Horse Tanner in Man.
, ..as chester, England.
A Manchester contemporary, describing
Mr.. Rarey's second lesson" in that city,
says a.. r, .|
Two horses we're brought before the audi
ence. On the first subject be was in the end
tame and gentle in Mr.. Rarey's hands. The
second subject for experiment was, however,
one we'll worthy of showing the triumphant
powers of the operator. 1t was mare be-
longing, as was stated, to Whewell, bleacher,
of Salford-a great, powerful horse-which
we were informed was the terror of Sal
ford. 1t was tolerably evident that the
owner of this animal, sceptical of the
truth of Mr.. Rarey's system, was determined
if possible TO battle him, reckless of the means
by which he did so. The groom led the mare
to the enclosure and suddenly, before he
could be stopped, whipped off the halter by
which he had led her forward. Some gentle
man standing by told him to put the halter
on again, as Mr.. Rary would require to hold
her. But the groom steadfastly ard with a
knowing wink refused. 1t was as much as
his life was worth to 60 into the enclosure,
and no consideration would induce him to do
so.
The groom expressly stated that he had
been ordered to take off the halter when he
let the mare loose, and such direction could
only have been given with reckless desire
to battle Mr.. Rarey, if possible, regardless of
consequences. We need hardly say that the
attempt failed entirely. The animal, startled
by something or other, plunged about, appli-
ed her heels vigorously to the barricade which
surrounded the enclosure, constructed to
withstand kicks of less powerful creatures
than the subject in hand, and appeared to place
a portion of the audience in jeopardy. The
gentlemen present nterfered, and requested
Mr.. Rareyto give up the attempt to tame such
an animal without having from the begin
ming some hold upon him. 1t was felt that
Mr.. Rarey had not been altogether fairly
dealt with, and that certainly the tanning oil
such an animal was not sight for ladies'
Moreover, the very presence of some 1OC
people put Mr.. Rarey to great dsadvan-
tage, and, accordingly, after the beast had
made a rush at him, the audience with one
accord withdrew.
1t is right distinctly to state that, not
withstanding the entreaties of his friends, Mr.
Rarey never for one moment hesitated, for
he felt he must redeem his pledge to meet
any horse and suhdue him. In about five
minutes after the company had withdrawn
it was known that Mr.. Rarey had, at least
bridled the mare, and then all returned &c
witness further proceedings. Beyond this
the course tlken was much the same as ir
former instances for, as Mr.. Rarey says
horse nature is the same all the world over
and like causes produce like results. But
probably none witnessed without the thrill
that we felt, the slight form of Mr.. Rarey lying
with his head beneath the hind heels of the
hefnre

disnatches we're received here to-day from

From WashingtOn..Utah Matters..Om-
cial Dispatches on British Outrages.


..... WAsHINGToN, June %.
The official advices received by this arrival
from England are of favorable character,
and disavow intentional offence against our
flag and mention the fact that prompt orders
have been issued to discontinue the visits,
which have given rise to the present difficult
ties. Her Majesty's Government does not
insist on visitation or search as right, but
as both nations are striving to Iut stop to
the slave trade, it desires mutual under
standing or arrangements to the proper and
most acceptable manner of ascertaiDing the
character of suspected savers. This is the
mooted point. The tenor of the dispatch
was far from being unsatisfactory in fact,
the doctrine so long maintained by our Gov
eminent is considered as practically acknowl-
edged by Great Britain. The differences be-
tween the two countries are not such as can
not be amicably accommodated.
1t is understood that the Cabinet to-day
had under consideration the affairs of Utah
which are SO complicated as to require great
caution in their management. From the
present indications, all the troops now on the
way will continue their march to Utah
What additional measures will be pursued
will depend on the character of the next off
cial dispatches from that quarter.
The charge of Judge Eckles to the Grand
Jury against polygamy is condemned as be.

LADIES, STOCKINGS.

A clothes line in yonder garden
Goes wandering among the trees,
And on ii two very long stockings
Are kicking.the evening breeze;
And lot of fancy dry goods,
Whose nature cannot divine,
Are wildly and merrily happing
About on IN c same old line.
And very fine young lady
At the par or window sews;
And rather conclude, il you tried it,
You'd find s.e'd fit into them hose"
She's ouly half length picture,
Fore-shortened below the breast;
But the dry goods which dance on the tight-rop'
Out yonder just make up the rest.
So dream-like she seems, so gentle,
You'd think her too good for earth;
And feel that holer spirit
Is banishing vulgar mrth
To its worldly home-by Jingo!
What flourish that muslin throws;
And bow uncommonly taper
Those stockings go of at the toes!
eyes, like the sky when tits bluest!
o hair like the night without star
o muslin and hose II can't help it!
Ye still draw my thoughts over ''thar."
The lady alone is substantial,
The clothes but a fancy ideal,
Yet somehow or other-oonfound 1t
I've mixed up the sham and the real.
o love! you're the same old siXpence
With the poet, the muff, or the brick;
You 90 up with a rush, like a rocket,
But come down at last like the stick;
And let love, though it be lofty or lOwly,
Platonic or fash, opine
That they like yon dry goods and stockings,
Belong to the very same line.

THE GOLDEN SUNSET.

BY HENRY wADswORTH LONGFELLow.
The golden sea its mirror spreads
Beneath the golden skies,
And but narrow strip between
Of land and shadow lies.
The clord-like rocks, the rock-like clouds,
Dissolved in glory float,
And, midway Of the radiant food,
Hangs silently the boat.
The sea is but another sky,
The sky sea as well,
And which is earth, and which the heavens,
The eye ca lscarcely tell.
So when for US life's evening hour
Soft fading shall descend,
May glory, born Of earth and heaven,
The earth and heavens blend
Flooded with peace the spirit float,
With silent rapture glow,
TIL where earth ends and heaven begins,
The soul shall scarcely know.

THE WORLDS AGE.
BY CHARLES KINGSLEY.

Who will say that the world is dying?
Who will say our prime is past p?
Sparks from Heaven, within us lying,
Flash, and will flash until the last,
Fools who fancy Christ mistaken;
Man a fool TO buy and sell;
Earth failure, God forsaken,
Ante-room of He'll,
Still the race of Hero spirits
Pass the lamp fro II hand to hand;
Age from age the Words inherits-
'.Wife and Child and Fatherland."
Still the youthful hunter gathers
Firery JOY from wold and wood;
He will dare as dared his fathers,
Give him cause as good.
While a slave bewails his fatters;
While an orphan pleads in vain;
Willie an infant lisps his letters;
Heir of all the ages gain;
While lip grows ripe for kissing
While a moan from man Is wrung;
Know, by every want and blessinS,
That the world is young.

GENTLE HUMANITY.

Shoe the horse and shoe the marc
Never let the hcof go bare;
Trotting over fiinty stones,
Wears away the hardest bones.
Life has many a stony street
Even to the toughest feet;
Men and horse find it so,
Ere through half of life they 60.
Streaks Of blood are in the way,
Trod by humans every day,
Seen by loves annointed eye,
While the blinded world goes by.
Yea, if all the signs are caught
Wherewithal the Air is fraught,
What vale would sweep the skies
Laden with mans miseries.
Gently, then, o brother man,
Do the utmost good you can;
God approveth cen the least,
Kindly act to man or beast.
