with as few words. He read the
words of the Prophet sficah: He

stores, at Goshen. They took from
Hawks & Bros. about 5000; from F..
Jackson & Son, $500, and made at

but failed to affect an entrance. They
tookfrom the Recorders Office, a large

What the Herald Man R.nor,s

A travelling correspondent of the New
York Herald gives a resume of pretended
trip over the battle-f fields of the war in the
South. 1t is evident from his letter that he
did not leave the cars except to shift his
precious body and carpet sack from one
train to another from the time he left New
York till he reached New Orleans. He
gives long conversations purporting to have
occurred between himself and Virginia ne
groes somewhere between Gordonsville and
Lynchburg. The idea of these dialogues
was doubtless suggested by some talk he
may have had with the negro brakesmen
on the Orange or Central railroads. The
Herold thus sums up this valuable CORES
pondepce
lie (the travelling correspondent reports that
ne found the people well disposed and orderly and
they express the wish almost universally that the
GoVefnment Will reconstruct the States as speedi-
~ as possible, that Northern capital and industry
may ftoW IN. But few traces of the recent bloody
struggle remain in some places, and in others the
evidences are painfully visible. The negroes were
generally well dressed and appeared in good hu-
NOR. They entertain the same respect for their
late masters that they did before the war; and do
not appear to desire an equality with them. in
case OF negro suffrage being admitted, they would
undoubtedly vote the same tickets that their for
mer masters would

N. B. Forrest.

A writer in the August number of The
Land We Looe, in an article on the charac-
ter of Lieutenant General N. B. Forrest,
gives the following estimate of him:
His character as a whole was union of
that of Lannes and Suchet. With the i'm
petuosity of the first he united the cautious
calculation of the second. He we'll weighed
the probabilities and counted the cost of
every plan. When the time for action
came he was terrible as q thunderbolt. With
the qualities of the marshals in the respects
named, he united to the fxedness of pur-
pose, the tenacity of Massena. His dog
gedness of resolution was proverbial. It
was like the grasp of death. An under
taking was never abandoned unless forced
by orders--a battle never over until it was
won. The doubts, even the panic of others,
had no effect to tame his obstinacy of pur-
pose, but falling back upon his own iron
self-rellance, he WIS every inch man in
the darkest hour of the storm. It was
then, in the midnight darkness of trial, that
his genius, like stars in the night, shone
most brightly.
He was accustomed to look upon nothing
as impossible. Bad roads and the waste of
waters could be overcome by " Il shall be
so !" Small numbers with rapid marches
and concentrated efforts, was passionately

A change of weather from very sultry to
pleasantly cool has resulted from the peri

Horse Stables.

It is a fault with most stables that they are
built for men rather than for horses. Wewish
to point out two common errors into which
not few builders are liable to fall in con-
structing stables, especially those upon
farms. The first is in having the doors and
upper floor so low as they generally are
On account of these low doors horses in
stinctively learn to fear them, and they shy,
rear or prance whenever led toward them.
They are, also, among the most frequent
causes of poll-evil. The horse, when pass
ing through them, is either surprised by
something it beholds outside the building,
or checked by the voice OR gesture of the
person leading him, when up goes the head
and crash comes the poll against the beam
of the doorway. A violent bruise often re-
suits therefrom, and deep seated abcess
follows. Low hay floors also produce the
same trouble. The sudden elevation of the
head is, in the horse, expressive of very un-
expected emotion. This effect is always
noticed whenever you enter the stable rap
idly or at an unusual hour. A sudden noise
will also cause the same upward motion of
the head. With low stables an injury to
the horse is almost invariably sure to fol-
low.
Again, the easiest position in which the
horse can stand, is when the hind feet arc
Ns
the flooring of the stall slants in the oppo-
site direction from what it does in most
stables. This is the other error in con-
structing stables to which we alluded
Horses at liberty in a pasture invariably
stand, when at ease, with their hind feet ele-
waited somewhat, and it is almost a wonder
that builders of stables have not improved
upon this fact before, and adapted floors
to the wants of the horse The moisture
from the horse, if the floor slanted toward
the forward feet, would help to keep the
forward feet moist, cool and healthy, where
as they are now generally hot, full of fever,
and require washing with cool soap suds at
least once day, in order to be kept in
healthy condition This is not all. Where
the floor slants back, the horse not unfre-
quently attempts to ease the heavy strain
upon the fexor t2ndons of the hind legs by
hanging back upon tho halter. The pres
sure upon the seat Of the poll stops natural
circulation, and in time it develops itself
into deep seated abcess. We would like to
see stable in which the two errors of build
ing did not occur. If the builder was not
satisfied with it, we are satisfied the occu-
pant would be, and would repay him by
long years of good service with unstrained
limbs and healthy system.

Correspondence of the London Times

correspondence OF the London I1nleS.
PARIS, Saturday, Sept. S.-We hear a
great deal about the new Chassepot breach
loader, which some say is as superior to the
Prussian needle-gun as the latter is to a
Minnie rife, butthis is likely to be an exag-
gerat1on. In very short time, the Patrie
announces, one hundred regiments of the
line will be armed with it. The statements
of the semi-oficial journal that not only the
arms but all the questions relative to the
organization Of the French army. as re-
CARDS both peTs0neJ and 0aate1'iel, are to be
made the subject Of a thorough study, has
attracted attention here, andit is interpreted
by some as an admission that the French
army IS not IN state at present to contend
successfully with that of Prussia-perhaps
also as hint to take patience and to wait
till the now guns are ready and all the i'm
plements made
L hear that the new cuirass is being
worked at with the intention of giving it to
the troops, 1T is the invention of a needy
young Italian who came to Paris eager to
dispose of it to the best bidder, and who
found means Of access to a French General
high in office. The General examined this
new kind of armor, which is described as q
flexible metal shirt, weighing only 43fbs.,
hung it up, took revolver, and fired four
or five shots at it. The bullets fell to the
ground, leaving but slight mark upon the
ball proof tissue. The invention was clear
ly of sufficient importance to be submitted
to the Emperor, who, after witnessing q
trial, bade the inventor communicate his
secret to no one, and said he would pur-
chase it of him. You will have heard of
the new plan suggested Of large bucklers,
to be carried by the front-rank men, who,
kneeling, protect those behind them, who
fire through loop-holes in the shields, which
thus serves as rests for the guns. Modern
improvements in the art of Slaughter seem
tax ing us back, in many respects, to the
defences of the Middle Ages

Right Rev. J. NJ. Young, Catholic Bish-
op of the Diocese of Erie, Pa, who died
suddenly in that city on the 18th inst, was
81 years of age, having been born in San
ford, Maine, in the month of August, 18O9
Bishop Young served regular appren-
tlceshlp at the printing business at Port
land, Maine, in the Office of the Portland
Argus. He was a convert to Catholicism
at the age of 19, and at the age of % took
journeyman's tour through the Western
States, finally stopping at Cincinnati, where
his extensive reading and marked ability
for one of his age attracted the attention of
the then Bishop of Cincinnati, and he was
sent to st. Mary's College, at Emmittsburg,
Nd, to complete his education and prepare
himself for ordination. He was ordained
priest in 1887. First appointed Bishop of
Pittsburg, but upon his declination of that
Office he was appointed Bishop of Erie, as
successor to Bishop O'Connor. He was
consecrated at Cincinnati on Low Sunday,
IN lo3l, coming to Erie shortly alter, where
he has resided ever since. His bearing,
benevolent disposition and social qualities
made him highly esteemed by his cotempo-
raries as a man, scholar and gentleman.
His death, although almost instantaneous,
was scarcely unexpected by him, as he had
frequently been informed by his medical
advisers that, sooner or later, he would die
without warning, in consequence of disease
of the heart, to which he had been subject
for some time.
