A GRAND GArHERIsc.-Th New York
Herh Gays the Germans in America ore pre-
pairing for vast International Festival, iu
which the Rife Clubs, the singing societies,
aud all the vast array Of orchestral unions of
the Old World and the New are to be re-
united in the city Of New York in one mann
moth exhibition OF skill aud emulation such
as the world has never witnessed before. The
details Of this magnificent festival, which
have already been decided upon, enable one
to form some conception of the entertain
inent which is in preparation for the Ameri-
can public. The project, comprehensive and
splendid as it is, originated about three years
ago at an immense meeting Of sharpshootera
from almost every European country, held in
one of the famous free towns of Germany.
To this nearly every Schutzen corps in the
United States sent delegation; and, after
the usual rifle matches had ended, with more
or less satisfaction to the contestants, some
one started the dea Of inviting the organizs-
tions of the Fatherland to visit America
The Wtrld does not state the exact time
when this great gathering Of the nations is to
come off, but describes some of the elaborate
preparations being made for it.

A WRINKLE ABOUT THE AGE OF HORSES. -.
A short time ago we met gentleman from
Illinois, who gave us piece of information
in regard to ascertaining the age of horse,
after he or she has passed the ninth year,
which was new to us, and wilfbe, we are sure,
to most Of our readers. 1t is this after the
horse is nine years old, wrinkle comes ON
the eyelid at the upper corner of the lower
lid,and every year thereafter he has one we'll
defined wrinkle for each year over time IT.
Tor Instance, horse has three wrinkles, he
is twelve; If four, he is thirteen. Add the
number of wrinkles to nine, and You will al
ways get it. So says the gentleman: and
he is confident it will never fail. As good
many people have horses over nine, it is
eaeily tried. II true, the horse dentist must
give up his trace.
