or Horsemanship.
A correspondent of the London 7ele-
gyaph records some remarkable feats Of
horsemanship:
| The late captain Horne, Of the Madas
horse artillery, rode two hundred miles in
less than ten hours, along the road between
Madras and Bangalore, upon Arab horses.
l am sure that at the present day many a
young officer in India could be found to
repeat the performance. Indeed, little is
| known Of what can be and is done in In
| dia.
had but very casual acquaintance
with captain Horne, from meeting him on
some of our Bengal race courses, but
have always admired and often thought
about his great courage and endurance.
fully believe you will find upon inquiry
that his death resulted many years ago
from dysentcry, contracted by winning q
ESQ bet that he would ride horse named
Jumping Jenny one hundred miles
day for eight successive days. He started
on, think, the 9Th of July, after the
raining season would have set in, and when
the heat between showers would be ex-
ccssive. The horse was none the worse
for his performance, but captain Horne's
ucsttH lTOIu tHc exposure nC enCOunCercu
was the unfortunate result, and was great
ly deplored.
Sometime between 1881 and 1885, the
late Mr.. Bakon, of the Bombay civil ser
vice, rode one camel from Bombay to Al
lyghur (pcrhaps eight hundred miles) in
eight days. The camel was little blood
looking animal, almost black.
About 1880 the present lord Exmouth,
then the Hon. Mr.. Pellow, of Bengal civ
il service, rode an old English horse nam
ed ChcroOt Box one hundred miles in
hours-easily. l could draw
upon recollection for many such feats,
though the above are the most prominent
in my memory Mt present One more
will give, and 1 should think it must be
recorded in the Bengal Sporting Maga-
zine. Certainly well remember hearing
of it at the time, and knew the perform
er, very light, wiry man, one of our race
riders. He was lieutenant Lowry, of the
twenty first Bengal navy infantry, and in
consequence of missing the horse that
should have been laid out for him tour on
ly mode of fast travelling in those days,)
he rode little mare, nearly or quite thor
)ugh bred, though bred in India, one
hundred and ten miles in eleven hours.
This would have been some time between
1881 and 1884. l have never heard the
ruth of this fact doubted, though, like
many others, it may not have been record
ID. There are, perhaps, very few now
who remember it except myself.

Democratic Platform.

The following is the platform of prin-
ciples adopted by the Democracy of Penn
sylvania at their late State Convention {:
ResolUed, 1st. That the States whereof
the people were lately in rebellion, are
integral parts of the Union, ana are en-
titled to representation in Congress by
men duly elected who bear true faith to
the Constitution aud laws, and in order 20
vindicate the maxim that "taxation With
out representation" is tyranny, such rep
reeentatives should be forthwith admitted.
I'd. That the faith of the republic is
pledged to the payment Of the rational
debt, and Congress shall pass all laws nee
essary for that purpose.
Sd. That re owe obedience to the Con-
stitution of the United States, including
the amendment prohibiting slavery, and
under It's provision will accord to those
emancipated all their rights of person and
property.
4th. That each State has the exclusive
right to regulate the qualification of its
own citizens.
5th. That the white race alone is enti-
tied to the control of the government of
the republic, and we are unwilling to gran;
to negroes the right to vote.
9Th That the bold enunciation of the
principles of the Constitution and the
policy of restoration cuntained IN the
recent annual and Freedmen's Bureau
veto message of President johnson entities
him to the confidence and support of all
who respect the Constitution and love
their country.
7th. That tie nation owes to the brave
men of our army and navy debt of last
ing gratitude for their heroic services in
defence Of the Constitution and the Union
and that while we cherish with tender
affection the memory o. the fallen, we
pledge to the widows and orphans the
nations care and protection.
9Th That we urge upon Congress the
duty of equalizing the bounties OF our
soldiers and sailors
