THE chanse of losing life in the
New York police now is about equal
to that of sanguinary battle
Since the 23d of July nine policemen
have been assaulted with deadly
weapons, 4 part Of whom lost their
lives by these agencies. This shows
that the DemQe Qeratic party in the City,
acting under the principles of re-
bellion against law and order inculca-
ted in their platform, have determined
to make the holding Of the policemen's
berth in the city so hazardous that it
will be difficult to secure proper men
for the service. 1t IS evident that
the city authorities do not back and
sustain the police.

is trying to excel his neighbor in
pomp splendor and vanity. The

How TO SToP a DONKEY's BRAYING.
Father Hue, that famous Catholic
explorer Of the interior of China, re-
lates that, on one Of his long journeys
among that strange people, his cara
van embraced an unusual number of
jacks among the donkeys employed as
carriers Of the expedition that these
jacks, at every resting place, kept up
such an intolerable braying, especial
ly toward morning, as TO render sleep
impossible to the abbc. At last he
complained Of this TO the master
of the donkeys, who instantly re-
piled that his gracious highness should
be no more disturbed by this brayiHg.
Sure enough, quiet night, with it's
refreshing sleep followed. : On inquir-
ing into the cause, in the morning, he
was pointed t. the noisy jacks, each
with heavy stone tied To his tail
That, said the driver, sis the way
to settle them. The jackass stands
upon his dignity, and viii not bray
unless he can straiehten out his tail /;
and with heavy stone attached, he
can't straighten it out. Don't you
see? Every time he tries it, the
weight on his tail pulls him down and

Care of Horses in Hot Weather.

A savage, who had not become familiar
with the Inconsistencies of civilized life, would
be astonished at the inhuman treatment prac-
ticed upon that noble animal, the horse by
those who claim to be the enlightened and
humane portion of the human race. The
horse is one of the most intelligent and useful
of domestic animals Almost every nation
and people have testified to his value His
tory is full of his noble deeds. His instinct
frequently approaches and might easily be
mistaken for reason and yet the latter is
conceded to no other animal but man. A
close comparison would often prove the quad
ruped superior to his master Reason would
often permit MS to draw that conclusion with
out an argument. 1t is said, "a merciful
man is merciiul unto his beast Admitting
that to be true, how few such men do we find
among those who have the care OF horses -
How frequently do we find them assimilatinp
themselves to the savage beast of prey, by
giving vent to their passions, and exhaustine
their physical strength, in inficting upon the
noblest Of animals the most cruel punish.

First, the care of horses in hot weather.
When we drive a horse in harness, in hot
weather, we would never stop to feed, or fol
any purpose, for any length Of time, without

Perhaps some of them will remember a very

en- wipe the nostrils of our horse with a rag
or sponge, wet in cold water, when travelling
in the dust.
And we would also wipe out the froth, and
sweat, and dust that gathers between the hind

word, we would keep our horse as nice and
