1t often happens that two carriage
horses may be perfect matches in all re-
spects but their tails. The one may have
fine flowing caudal appendage, and the
other may be curtailed of his fair proper
tons. In such case the fashion with
horses is pretty much as it is with our
fashionable fair at the present moment:
if nature is not prodigal of their ornament,
art is called in,-the lady purchases her
Alexandria ringlet which so negligently
flows over her shoulders at Trufit's-the
groom matches the flowing name with an
equally flowing tail.
The false tail is cunningly placed on in
the following manner: The caudal stump
is shaved, ard the false hair is fitted on to
it by the crupper, and detection is, as i'm
possible with respect to the ir-dressing
of the horse, as we all know it is with that
of the ladies. There is scarcely first
class stake in London. where many car
riage horses are kept, that these false tails
are not an absolute necessity of their
getting up, and they may be seen hanging
on the walls as a matter of course, and
are looked upon, in short, as only part
OF the harness.-LOWlOn Rerieen

The DrOutIe,

From the New York Journal OF Commerce, Aug. 49,
The drouth in q large portion of the
Northern States has been of unprecedented
severity. The injury to the great staples
OF the country, however, has not proved
so serious as to vegetables, fruit, tobacco,
sorghum and other special crops. Unjust
be borne in mind that several articles
during the war have come into extensive
cultivation at the North, which suffer the
double disadvantage of an unfavorable
climate and unskiiled cultivation. To-
bacco has in many instances been an en-
tire failure with those who were making
their first or second trial fit, and sorghum,
from half-ripened seed of inferior va
rieties, far out of its proper latitude, is not
likely to have much effect upon the price
of sugar.
Grasshoppers have become more nume-
rous in many places than ever before, and
the fate of Indian corn and the dairy pas
lures is still in suspense.
Throughout the interior there has been
a deficiency of small fruits and garden
products; and the inhabitants of villages
and small towns have been unable to OBJ
tain their usual supplies at any price. We
fear that there will be a great falling off in
the preparation of canned fruits and veg
etables, pickles, onions and similar arti-
Giles requisite for the comfort and health of
our soldiers.
The potatoe crop, over large extent of
country, is thought to be irreparably in
.jured, if not ruined. The young potatoes
have sprouted and made a second growth
of top. @ -.

The Memphi.J ackson,Atlanta Appea!, one
of the most influential, as It is one Of the most
bitter rebel journals in the South, says:
The accession of conservative Democrat
like Mcclellan, to the Presidency, who would
conduct the war upon more humane principles,
who would repeal the emancipation proclama-
ton, and probably make overtures to the
South to return to the Union, with guarantee
of all constitutional rights, would do infinitely
more to paralyze the South and build up q re-
construction party in our midst-a most fatal
calamity-than the combined efforts OF the pre-
sent party in power. .l--..

1t is estimated that the present population
in New Orleans is larger than at any other time
in its history at this season. Small houses are
nearly impossible of attainment, although a
few more expensive ones are placarded for rem
tai. The city authorities estimate the present
Summer population of New Orleans at 175. 900

zen. Seymour, lately prisoner at Charles
ton has arrived at New York. General Sey-
raOur was stationed at Charleston some two Or
three years before the war commenced. He,
therefore, had many influential acquaintance
there, and to them he was indebted for gener-
Gus courtesies during his late involuntary stay
among them. He conyersed with them freely
about the war. He told them the North would
never YIELD that the determination of the peo-
pie was to wipe out the rebellion and save the
Union, no matter what great sacrifices the
| work should involve.

Profit. Of blockade Running.

An English paper gives some curious in
formation respecting the profits of block
ade running. A single trip, it shows, by
copy of bona tide account, cost $780,
265. OF this amount $4,000 went to the
captain for one months service, $4,000 for
pilotage in and out, and other sums equally
large to officers, engineers and others, all
of whom in view of the risks incurred,
were paid the most liberal wages, even the
coalheavers receiving 5000 per month.
Against this heavy expenditure, the fol-
lowing is given on the credit side as the
earnings:
800 bales of cotton for Government. $40, 600
800 bales of cotton for owners .r..... 10000
Return freights for Government. 49,. 10000
Return freights for owners. .......... 40, 600
Passengers 1900
Thus, in case of successful trip, the
operators make monthly profit of $751;
1856. 1t is to be remembered, however,
that very often the vessels engaged in this
business are captured at their first venture,
entailing heavy loss. Several foreign
houses have been almost if not entirely
ruined by their mishaps in this business.

'1'lae Rebel Agents.

Speaking Of the movements of the Con-
federate agents in Mexico, the Brownsville
Journal says:
Besides, who have done and are doing
more to break down the rebellion than
they? Have they not been, are they not
now, and will they not continue to be so
long as they can, engaged in specializing
and peculating, in getting their funds be-
yond seas, and in doing all that mortal
man could do and still keep up appear
ances, to wreck and spoliate the great re-
pudiatcr's attempt at a government? Such
being the case, we regard them with an
eye of kind indulgence, and though we
condemn their morals, will do them the
justice to acquit them of doing as much
damage to the United States as they are
doing to the so-called Confederate States.
