and such as Bonner or Vanderbilt never
drew line upon Laughter. The crea-
ture behind Is very different kind of
animal, he can do nothing but hold back;
he Jerks and says back on the halter; lac
has Il large head. striking auricular devcl-

awkward managing horses in this way, Is
know from experiment. Renewed
merriment.
Now, the President knows that the

The first message of the President ia

the determination. (Applause In the
first message the President says he does
not desire that this rebellion should de-
scend into a remnr>elcss revolutionary
struggle. and to AVOID that, urges the Bor-
der States to cmlnaipate their slaves in
the mode indicated as the only means of
avoiding a remOrScleSS struggle, AMI tells
