The Original Morgan Horse

Massachusetts, has done many good
things, among which is giving to Yer
mont the credit, and the world the ben
eft, of the celebrated Morgan horse
Near the close of the last century, a
singing master, by the name of Justin
Morgan, lived in Chicopoe steet, West
Springfield The place where this man
lived has been pointed out to the writer
by one who knew him, and remembered
his celebrated horse. Mr.. Morgan had
a few acres Of land, and usually kept one
or two horses He cultivated his farm
during the summers, and taught music
in his own and the neighborng towns
during the winters. In the spring of
1898, he raised a colt which has given
celebrity to his name. Mr.. Morgan had
a passion for good horses, and this colt
while he remained in West Springfield
was more fully appreciated by his owner
than his fellow tOWnsmen. In those
days, $50 was considered a great price
for a horse, and it is believed that this
horse could have been bought for about
that sum.
Fortune frownod upon Mr.. Morgan,
and, seized with the spirit Of adventure,
about the year 1898 he migrated
with his family and horse to the wilds
of Randolph, Vt. Here he lived few,
years, aud died poor Neither he nor
his family realized profit from this
horse. Such was the foundation of a
breed which has given both wealth and
character to New England. I'm this
case is forcibly illustrated the influence
of an ordinary action Justin Morgan
might or might not have been conscious
of the results, when sixty-fve years ago
he raised that famous colt. The act was
simple in itself, but the cosequences are
momontous. An impetus was then given
to a branch of industry whose power is
not yet fully felt Wherever the horse
is known, there shall the name Of justin
Morgan be repeated, The Morgan horse
is destined to give as much celebraty TO
England as the barb Of the desert
TO Arabia. AS farm and family horse,
the "Morgan" Is unequalled. Docility,
hardihood, endurance, compactnoss, and
sure-footedness, are his inyariable prop
critics. Springfield (Mass) Republi-
eau.

MORE HARMoNY.-Mr, Bonney, in his
speech at the Buchanan Convention in
Illinois, said:
"It is when men play the traitor, as
these men the Douglas menl have done,
that the political axe should rotate them
out. When they are thus found guilty
Of treason, let the political gallows be
prepared, and let their bodies swing as
high as Haman's L am speaking my
mind freely, for it has been a long time
since have had a chance to do 50. For
the last twenty years every Democrat
has had his hands tied and his ankles
manacled by thevery men who have so
lately sought to deliver the party into
the hands of its enemies"

ANTS AND FRUIT TREEs.-Many
really suppose ants are injurious to fruit
trees.-This is notso. Those acquainted
with their habits know that they visit
fruit trees infested with plant lice, both
the roots and branches. They are at
tended by ants, which seem to use them
as their milk kline. They are sought by
the ants because of a sweet fluid furn-
ished by these lice which supplies the
ants nutrition. This accounts for their
being about fruit trees. Take warning,
then, when you sec the ants busily
ascending and descending in regular
succession, young fruit trees, or others,
and immediately apply ashes or lime to
them when the dew is on; also applying
one or both about the roots Of the trees
infested by them.

Washingtcn's Tomb.

The Philadelphia Press says there is
no truth in the report that JOHN A.
WASHINGTON Intended to remove the
mortal remains Of the Father Of his
Country from the vault at Mount Yer
non, in which they are deposited His
contract with the Ladies Mount Yer
non Association Of the Union, to whom
he has conditionally sold the Mount
Vernon estate, expressly provides as
follows: "And the said vault, the remains
in and around it, and the enclosure, shall
never be removed or disturbed, and that
no other persons hereafter shall ever be
inferred or entombed within the said
vault or enclosure"

NALENTIA IsLAND.--Yalen Island
is the Eastern terminus of the great At
lautic telegraph wire. 1t is situated off
the west coast of Ireland, and separated
from the main land by strait one and
quarter mile in width Valentia is
town or village on the southeastern ex-
tremity of the Island of Valentia, with
population of 2,482 in it and sur
rounding parish. The harbor of Valen-
tia is deep, and capacious, and is the
most Westerly portion of Europe. The
Island is seven miles long, and two miles
in breadth. It has been proposed, re-
Gently, to make Yalentia Harbor the
Western terminus of the railroad COM
munication, and a principal station for
Atlantic steamers. And should the At
lantc telegraph prove a success, this
will likely be done in time, and thus
render Valentia one Of the most impor-
tant stations on the Atlantic coast.

SINGULAR SURGICAL OPERATION
The Detroit Free Press gives an account
Of a surgical operation recently perform
ed in that city, upon Mrs. Jones, who
was under the influence Of chloroform.
Mrs. j. had her shoulder put out of
joint over a year ago, which was never
returned, the bone of the arm having
been thrown downward upon the ribs,
and pressed upon the nerves, rendering
the arm useless, aud constant source Of
suffering, The operation consisted in
cutting down upon, and removing the
upper portion of the bone of the arm,
which articulates with the shoulder, and
returning the arm to its original place
The patient was Immediately relieved,
and is rapidly recovering. About two
inches were sawed off the upper end of
the bone and taken out entirely, after
which the cut was closed, leaving it to
nature to heal the wound and form a
new joint.

Instructions to sportsmen.

Amateurs would do well to cut out
the following, and paste them in their
hats:
Tn carrying a gun over the shoulder,
on full cock, be careful to point the
muzzle at the game-keeper's toes, for
fear Of blowing his brains out.
Gunpowder should be carried in a
flask, or if loose in the pocket should
not be mixed with matches.
The practice Of drying powder over
the fire in a frying-pan should be dis,
oouraged. Many accidents have result
ed from It,
Always shut your eyes before firing.

cock, horizontally when a friend is

A GoOD REToRT.-Hon. Alexander
Fl. Stephens, of Georgia, was once run
ming for Congress with an opponent of
unusually large stature, and on the
stump one day the discussion became
exceedingly warm. Whereupon the
large man said to Stephens, who is small
and delicate, "Why, I could button
your ears back and swallow you whole,
sir" To which rude remark Stephens
retortoG, "And if you did you would
then have more brains in your stomach
than in your head" The laughter
which followed effeotually dissipated the
i'll humor which was gaining ground.
