False Tails to Horses. (

1t often happens that two carriage
horses may be perfect matches in all re-
spects but their tails. The one may have
a fine flowing candal appendage, and the
other may be curtailed Of his fair proper
tions. In such a 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-t the
groom matches the flowing name with an
equally flowing tail. fa bNA gt
: 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 hair 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
rage 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 matter of course, and
are looked upon, in short, as only part
OF the harness.-Lontlon RerieD. ~

.rhe 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
theyp 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-
pudiator'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.
