The Management of Horses.

Engllshmen are considered by many to
be the best whips. in the world. One of
them writes to the New York Herald:
Your horses may well have hard mouths.
ior 1t is we'll known that in managing a
horse you have to humor his temper, and
not to contend with his strength. If you
put your strength against his, he could
very soon pull you off the box. The GREAT
point IN either riding or driving, is to man
age your horse with light hand. You
nave HIM far more at command. and with
more comfort to yourself and animal. The
relns, IN driving, should be held firmly in
the left hand, the near side rein passing
over the first finger, the off-side rein pass
ing between the second and third fingers.
The right hand, always holding the whp,
should be at liberty to bring behind the
left, so as to draw the reins lightly through
the fingers of the hand when 1T is necessa-
ry to shorten your hold. The horses should
be accustomed and encouraged to play with
the bit so that the least strain upon the
reins will draw their attention, and they
will readily answer to the pull, always be-
ing ready to let your whip fall lightly
across the loins of the outside horse. When
going steadily the hands should rest light
" in the fork ofthe thighs, the elbows well
drawn into the side, the whip pointing eX-
actly over the left shoulder.

Ferr Gentlemen Robbed at Water Cnre
Establishment.
From the Buffalo Courier, June s.


Thursday afternoon superintendent
Henry C. Fisk, OF the Erie Railway, Mer-
ritt Brooks, book-keeper for Pratt & Co,
of this city, DIR. j. W. Potter, of Canaan
daigua and DIR. Babcock, of Milton, Wis,
visited Dr. Burdick's Hygienic Water Cure
establishment, on Seneca street, to obtain
q bath. They did not go together, but all
went INTO the large bathroom together
DIR. Daniel Clark, who had charge of
the baths, decided to en5er the bath with
the four visitors, but linge7 ed be-
hind two or three minutes after
the others had entered the bath
room. The gentlemen Lad deposited their
clothing in the dressing-room After en-
loylng the bath they proceeded to dress.
Ar. Brooks, upon dressing, discovered that
twenty dollars in currency, which he
had III his pocket, was missing. He called
to Dr. Clark and told him that he had
been robbed, when Clark at once seized
his coat and said he would go and see
Mrs. Burdick. The other gentlemen hear
ing OF Mr. Brooks loss, began to examine
their pockets, and were somewhat sur
prised at the result Dr. Potter missed
over $50 900 worth of certificates of de-
posit on the First National Bank of War
rem, Pa. ,and on Grandin's Bank of fTldioute.
Pa, and DR.. Babcock found that $15 of his
money was gone. DR.. Burdiek, proprietor
of the establishment, was informed of the
robbery and notified Captain Cook, of pre-
cinet No. 2, who soon made his appear
ance. In the meantime DR.. Clark had re-
turned to the establishment. When Capt
Cook arrived on the spot and spoke of the
loss of the money, Clark at once pointed to
boy, or rather young man, named Henry
Campbell, and said, ''There is the person
who took the money" Capt Cook then
arrested Campbell and took him to
the station house. Upon questioning
the boy he came to the conclusion that
it would be as well to arrest DR.. Clark, and
accordingly that gentleman was secured
and locked up. He manifested consider
able surprise at the turn affairs had taken,
but Captain Cook considered there were
good grounds for arresting him. The p1is-
oners were brought before Justice Wander
pool yesterday morning, When Campbell
was discharged and Clark was held for
trial for grand larceney, in stealing twenty
nine dollars from Mr.. Brooks and was held
to bail in the sum of 81 900. In the after
noon Clark was arraigned on charge of
stealing certificates of deposit, amounting
to over $50, 900, from DR. Potter and COM
mitted i'll default of $1,000 bail

How TO BEAT WHITES OF EGGs.-On
breaking eggs, take care that none of the
yolk becomes mingled with the whites A
single particle will sometimes prevent their
foaming well. Put the whites iuto a Iaroe
flat dish, and beat them with an egg -beater
made OF double wire, with tin handle, or
with cork stuck crosswise upon the prong
OF a fork. Strike a sharp, quick stroke
through the whole length of the dish.
Beat them IN the cellar, or some other cool
place, till they look like snow, and you can
turn the dish over without their slipping
OF. Never suspend the process, nor let
them stand, even for one minute; as they
will begin to turn to a liquid state, and
cannot be restored, and thus will make
heavy cake.- Germantown Telegraph.

OF ore, which IN making the best metal
must De worked together, and which in
| other parts of the United States are widely

the Denver road coal bed there are demos
ITS OF what is known among iron men as
Kidney IRON. There are also in this conn
try miles of hills of ore of the red oxide
| and black magnetic varieties combined and
OF the Hematite variety. Prof Haydn. of
the United States Geological Survey Office
| Washington, accompanied by Prof. Sill
man, inspected these hitherto unvalued
IRON districts last autumn, az a reported
hundreds of thousands of tons of rich ore
| OF the finest quality in sight Prof Haydn
is reportedto have said, that there was
more IRON IN boulders more easy of access
than any ordinary mine, than would supply
the western side of the continent with iron

North of Cheyenne twenty-eieht miles.
at the head Of Chingwater river. is Iron
Mountain, which some say exceeds the
famous Pilot Knob in extent of it's mass
OF ore. 1t is said by Cheyenne men to
be the finest iron mountain in the world,
and the supply of ore is equal to any de
mand, however rapidly the consumption
may increase.
MINERAL RAILROAD.
A company was organized by special
act of the territorial government last win
ter to build railroad from Cheyenne to
Chlngwater. Companies are now being
formed for the purpose of erecting works
at several points. One company propose
TO make rails both of iron and of steel
For the latter purpose they have bought
the sole right to use the Bessemer pat
ent IN that territory for a royalty or q
ton.
COST OF MAKING IRON.
The cost of making iron at Pittsburg,
apart from the construction of works and
wear and tear OF machinery, &C., is said to
be from So to S26. Iron makers who have
visited the Cheyenne and Chingwater dis
trlcts, say that apart from the constr uction
OF works and wear of machinery. &c, the
cost of making iron will not exceed SO
ton. They make out that result from these
data, the ore will cost not to exceed 81 a
ton at the furnace, and all the varieties of
ore necessary for making are at hand
They say that Pittsburg makers have
to bring black magnetic and hematite
ores from Lake Superior, and black
magnetic ore from Iron Mountain,
Missouri, where they have no coal
and use charcoal only, to Pittsburg-for
hlAlhg with their own Pennsylvania ores
to make good metal. Coal of good quality
can be had down along the Cheyenne and
Chmgwater railroad at So to Sc. Lime
stone for fuxing is on the ground. There
fore, the iron men of this district say, with
all these advantages, that if the trade of
the western shore will, in some time not
very remote, equal that of the eastern
shore, so somewhere on the Black Hills.
near Cheyenne, there VIII spring up a great
iron and hardware manufacturing town
furnaces, forges, foundries, rolling-mills,
and thousands of homes of industrious
workmen. In short, that somewhere in
these elevated districts there is to be sec
ond Pittsburg.

A Novel Libel Suit-An Attorney Sues
Twelve Jurymen.

From the San Francisco Times May o.
A. G. Waterhouse brought suit in the
Twelfth District Court, yesterday, against
VIM. Dwyer ct al, for $40, 900 damages for
libel. The plaintiff sets forth that DWyer
and the eleven other defendants, all Jurors
IN giving Il verdict against James Garnett
as guilty of felony, coupled " ith said YER
dict recommendation that the District
Attorney procure an indictment against
plaintiff WaterhouSe, thereby as is alleged,
charging plaintiff with said felony. The
proceeding of the jury in the above case,
which was tried IN Sacramento, was very
unusual, and the settlement of this novel
libel sUit will be watched with interest.
About one year ago a difficulty arose be-
tween James Garnett and John S. Barrett,
about block of land lying in the eastern
part o! the City of Sacramento. Each held
conflicting titles to certain portions of the
| block. settlement was agreed upon be-
tween them, but IN some way or other Gar
nett made deed for certain interests
which, as was alleged, he had already
decided away. Barrett carried the matter
before the Grand Jury, and Garnett Was
indicted for felony in selling the same pro
perty a second time. When the case came
up for trial, Garnett proved that he had
acted throughout in accordance with the
tdNIS0 VI hlo dtIoin6yS, DdDCOcK ana wac
terhouse. Garnett's previous reputation
had been good, and that fact may possibly,
to some extent, have affected the case. A
verdict of guilty was returned, accompa-
med by am expression of regret that it was
not IN the power of the jury to return
similar verdict against the attorneys. The
! jury also recommended the District Attor-
| ney to procure an Indictment against
| them. Garnett was sentenced to the State
| Prison, and served out six months of n
term of several years. The case was car
lied to .the Supreme Court, and Garnett
was set at liberty by that tribunal. Under
these circumstances the present suit COM
menced.

Compressed Air for Il Railway Car Brake.

A new style Of safety brake has been in
troduced with success on some trains of
the Erie railway. 1t is said to place the
entire train under the sole control of the
engineer, who is able to bring his train to
a full stop within a distance of 600 feet
while going at the rate of rs miles an hour
The element OF power is simply pure air,
which, at the viii of the engineer, is forced
into the cylinders, forming a cushion"
which becomes harder with each revolu-
ton, aud the retarding force is consequent
ly rapidly multiplied. At the same time,
while the power of the engine is exerted to
oppose the motion of the train, the air is
forced into q special reservoir, and the
power applied directly to all the brakes
throughout the train, by means of strong
mdia-rubber tube passing under the cars
and fitted with double valves at the COUP
lings, so that any number of the cars may
be detached and switched off without dis
arranging the air apparatus of the cars re-
naming attached to the locomotive The
jarring, grating noises of the ordinary
method of putting on the brakes are al
together avoided. There is no strain on
the cumming gear" the engine driver is
able at will to regulate and modify the force
Of the brakes; while, as there is no limit to
the amount of power which can be deve1-
oped the length Of weight of the train are
of no Importance.
The feature of this novel invention which
will receive the largest share of attention
from railway managers is the closing of the
exhaust into the smoke arch, or pipe and
the opening of a passage by which pure
air, unsoiled with ashes or cinders, is adj
mitted into the steam cylinder, thereby
preventing excavations of the pistons and
| cylinders, and avoiding injury to the ma
chinery, involving expensive repairs.
! GENERAL JAcKsoN's PORTER. When Gen.
! Jackson was President, Jimmy O'Neil, the
porter, was a marked character. He had
! his foibles, which were offensive to the fas-
tidiousness of Col. Donelson, and caused
| his dismissal on an average about once a
week. But on an appeal to the higher
court, the verdict was invariably reversed
! by the good nature of the old General.
Once, however, Jimmy was guilty of some
/ tiagrant otfense, and was summoned before
the highest tribunal at once. The General,
after stating the details of the misdeed, OBJ
! served:
! Jimmy, I have borne with you fol
years in spite Of all complaints, but in this
act you have gone beyond my power of en-
durance."
EtAnd do You believe the story?" asked
Jimmy.
Certainly answered the General 81
have just heard it from two Senator'S
Faith, replied Jimmy, eff believed
all that twenty Senators said about you
it's little I'd think you fit to be President
80, Pshaw! Jimmy, concluded the
President, ''clear out and go on duty, but
be more careful hereafter'
Jimmy remained with his kind-hearte6
patron, not only to the close of his Presi
Dental term, but accompanied him to the
Hermitage and was with him to the day
of his death.

I shall not forget thee; for over my spirit
The shadows that fell in the years that are Gone
Wake brighter the fires which affection has kfnded
And Hopes cheerful beacon shines steadily on.
| shall not forget thee; tho trial and sorrow
sweep on like the tempest that darkens the sky;
me dear bow Of promise speaks joy for the morrow,
And our souls swear the pledges that never can die

Was needed to give US new strength for the strife
The pathway OF tears is an angel direction,
And the cup of our Grief is the fountain OF life.
I shall not forget thee; the JOY that evades rs
But IneIts into Hope like a star lost in Day.
Fate frowns not forever when true hearts stead

Though death stand between, Love shall iud ont

Still out of the crumbling ruins should rise
MY love- as undying and changeless as ever,
To meet thee and greet thee, at last, IN the skies

A PARIsIAN SHOP SCENE.-A Paris PAPER
relates the following: ''Mme. k, an
elegantly dressed lady, entered one of the
emporiums of fashion yesterday, and re-
quested to see some Valenciennes lace, but
after some time, not finding any to suit her.
withdrew without making any purchases
She had, however, been observed by one of
the shopmen to slip piece of the goods
under her shawl. Nevertheless, she re-
turned home as it were unnoticed, but on
reaching the door of the house, was ae-
costed by a messenger, who handed her a
small parcel and letter, which was thus
worded:
'Madame-I am afraid that the fifteen
yards of lace which you selected in my
shop will not be sufficient to trim your
dress; therefore take the liberty of send
ing you second piece of the same pat
tern. l beg to be informed whether you
accept it
The signature was that of the master of
the establishment. 1t is needless to say
that the lady was only too glad to escape,
by prompt payment of the whole, from
some very unpleasant consequences"
