The Horse.

We often look with wonder and awe
upon the many fine specimens of this
noble animal which arc seen in our
cities, What would man be and what
could he do without a horse, His
presence aud the service and the bene-
fits which he bestows upon man, seem
10 us a sufficient proof of the existence
of God and of the degree of care aud
protection which he exercises toward
man. .v,sr-'
A hundred animals, quite as useful
and ss capable of being domesticated
for the service Of man, might easily
have been created by the same power
that made the horse. This one, how
ever, was sufficient, and as the Creator
only designs to furnish US with what Is
necessary for our use and requisite for
the development of our faculties, only
this one was given. ' ..nFAtN
We confess that we have often la
mented the fate of the horse, when we
have seen him, as he frequently does,
ovincing not opIy moro Of the virtues
of usefulness, amiabllity, and effort,
but oven a higher degree Of intelligence
than his owner or driver. One is some
times strongly tempted to believe il this
animal could walk erect and possessed
hands and hepower of speech he would
be.(ho superior of man, and to wonder
if all his intelligence, docility and use
fulnessis never to receive any other
reward than his measure Of corn and
oats until the time comes for him to end
his brief but laborious and useful exist
ence. We cannot resist the thought,
sometimes, thatheisa higherintelligcnce
than we suppose, perhaps a fallen spirit,
degraded in its embodiment, and work
ing out a life Of probation and pepance,
and never look at a fine, intelligent
horse, without feeling in some degree
an increase of reverence and thankful
ness to the Almighty Creator.
The Bible seems to decide the point
that the first domestication of the horse
was in Egypt and, not in Arabia, as
some have supposed. When the Israel
itescame into Canaan we find that the
Canaanite8 went out to fight against
them, with many ehauots aud horsenen

Egypt cost one hundred and fifty shekels
Of silver which at two, shilIiHgs three
! pence each, the accepted value Of a
shekel of silver, amount to about cit
sterling, an enormous sum for those
days.
Though the horse has long been the
companion and the servant of man, yet
his native country cannot with certainty
be traced. 1t seems probable that be
was first domesticated in Egypt, but the
precise period is not known. About
two thousand years before the birth of
Christ, when Abraham was driven into
Egypt by the famine which ragged in
Canaan, Pharoah offered him sheep.
oxen and camelS. Horses would doubt
less have been added, had they then
icxisted, ior had they been douesticated
in Egypt. Fifty years afterward, when
Abraham journeyed to Mount Moriah,
to offer up his only son, he rode upon
an ass, which with all his wealth and
power he would not have done had the
horse been known. Thirty years later
an account is given of the number of
oxen, sheep, camels, goats and asses
which Jacob sent to appease the anger
OF Esau, but no horses are mentioned.
Twenty-four years after this when
famine again devastated Canaan, and
Jacob sent into Egypt to buy corn, we
first hear of horses. Wagons drawn
by horses were sent by Joseph into
Canaan to bring his father into Egypt.
Even then, however, horses do not
seem to have been used as beasts of |
burden, for the corn which was to be |
some hundreds of miles to
afford sustenanco to Jacobs large house
hold, was carried on asses. r.

was a prominent member of the church
and had been somewhat noted for hi

the church, resulting in the dismissal oI
the pastor, a good man, to whom Dir.
Hall was much attached. A successor
was chosen in opposition to his vote

Jail Breaking---Ths Penitentiary.

We see by the Natchez Democrat of
the oath, that on the preceding Tues
day evening, nine prisoners succeeded
in breaking out Of the jail of Adams
county, five Of whom, were under sen
tence of ten years each in the State
Penitentiary The editor of the Demo
crat states that his attention has been
called to the fact, that much blame IS
attached to the Superintendent OF the
Penitentiary and other officials at Jack
son for not removing the prisoners, as
they have been repeatedly notified of
the insecurity Of our jail and that
SHERIFF Hunter has several times
written to Jackson, urging that those
who are to be removed, should be
Immediately sent for, as the condition
of the Jail was such that they were
not secure
If the writer in the Democrat were
acquainted with the facts in the ease,
he would see that no blame could be
attached to the Superintendent Of the
Penitentiary and other officials at Jack
son. The Penitentiary is now full,
and until further accommodations are
provided by the Legislature, the courts
may convict, but the several counties
must provide for the safe keeping Of
culprits, or turn them loose again up
on society. The pitiable sum of TWEEN
ty-fve thousand dollars was appropri
ated for the rebuilding Of an institu-
ton that cost about two hundred thou
sand. The money has been judicious-
" and economically expended, and
provision has been made for the safe
keeping Of about one hundred convicts.
But there the work has to stop and,
in the meantime offenders against the
law are being sentenced 70 the Peni-
Tertiary, rs though that was an insti-
tuition Of unlimited capacity. The mat
ter as it stands, is a farce, and suggests
the conclusion that either the laws
should be repealed or the Penitentiary
abolished.
