ADVANTAGES OF LATINA very good
member of the General Assembly ol
Rhode Island once moved to translate all
the Latin phrases in the statute so that
the common people could understand
them. The exquisite folly of such q
measure was by no means obvious to the
great body of the Assembly. 1t was
quite as likely to pass as not. A good
solid -gument against it would probably
have carried it through. The late Mr..
Opdike took the ground that it was no
advantage to have the people understand
the laws. They were not afraid of any
thing which they understood. It was
these Latin words that they are afraid Of
Mr.. Speaker, there was man in South
kngstown about twenty years ago, a
perfect nuisance, and nobody knew how
to get rid of him. One day he was hoe
ing corn and he saw the sheriff coming
with paper, and he asked what it was.
Now if he had told him it was writ,
what would he have cared? But he told
him it was capias ad satistaciendom, and
the man dropped his hoe and run, and has
not been heard of since. Nor has the
proposition to translate the Latin words
in the statutes.
WH1rE.-An elderly Pennsylvania wo-
man, with her daughter looking OF the
marble statue of Girard in the college
building the other day, startled many of
the bystanders by exclaiming in loud
voice:

lowing account of the methods adopted by
an officer of the United States service, lately
returned from Arizona, to subduo horse
who would not allow his feet to be handled
for the purpose of shoeing:
He took Q cord about the size of a COM
mon bed cord, put it in the mouth of the
horse, like bit, and tied 1t tightly on top
of the animal. head, passing the left ear un-
the string-not painfully tight, but tight
enough to keep the ear down, and the cord in
in it's place. This done be patted the horse
gently, on the side of the head, and comman.
ded the horse 10 follow, and instantly the
horse obeyed, perfectly subdued and gentle
as a wellitrsined dog suffering his feet to
be lifted with entire impunitY, and acting in
all respects like an old stager. The simple
string thus tied made him at once as docile
and obedient as any one could desire.
