NOVEL MODE OF TYING HORSES.

NOVEL MODE OF TYING HoRsEs.-
The Icelanders have curious
custom, and most effectual one, of
preventing horses straying. Two
gentlemen, for instance, are riding
together without attendants, and,
wishing to alight for the purpose of
visiting some objects at q distance
from the road, they tie the tail of one
horse to the head of the other, and
the head of this to the tail of the for.
mer. In this state it is utterly i'm
possible that they can move either
backwards or forwards, enc pulling
one way and the other the reverse;
and, therefore, if disposed to move
at all, it will be only In a circle, and
even, then there must be an agree
ment to have their heads in the same
direction.

CITY md COUNTRY LIFE.

1t is wrong to get out of patience with fools.
God made them-of course, for some wise and
good purpose, though we may not be abletO com
prehend it for the next hundred thousand
years They must be borne, like any other
inflictiOn, in the piOus invincible trust that all
is for the best.
We anxiOusly, persistently urge all who must
sell their labor for living to take it where
Labor is scarce and in eager demand, not
attempt to sell it in a glutted, stagnant mar
ket. What is there remarkable in that3
We urge every one who must live by his
own exertiOns to work and save with fixed re-
solve to be able to employ himself at the
earliest possible day. Then let him continue
to work for wages if he can make moro thus
than by working for himself, Gas very many
can) but always ready to employ himself
whenever no one else wants his labor who
will pay him more than he can earn as his
own "boss" What is there wrong in that2
We do not disparage working for wages.
Most of us began responsible life that way,
and could do no better. We honor the man
who earns dollar per day by digging a good
ditch; we prefer that he should not be content
to live and die a ditch-digger We want him
to dig out Of that line of business in tho course
of few years, and leave room iD il for immi-
grants coming over and boys coming on.
Let him use the highway, not choke it.
AS to going West we think those who have
considerable means can do quite as well at the
South Land, though not so cheap as it was
is still very cheap there; you can buy sufli
cheney Of tillage, timber and buildings much
cheaper there than at the West. But then
sc;,,.ol-houses more abound at the West, and your
neighbors there are more ready to join you in
providing the requisite roads ana bridges. For
a man who must buy everything with his own
labor, the West will do, while the South is not
yet in order. If you can chop, plOw, plant,
now &C., or can DO carpenter or blacksmith
work, you can almost certainly find work and
fair wages at the West these are by no means
so sure at the South. The West is still the
poor mans Eden.
--"But there are twenty thousand out Of work
in Chicago alone'
We do MT doubt it. Chicago is junior New
York. Omaha is junior Chicago. The null
titude who want to live from hand to mouth
that is, who want to eat rs fast as they earn
will crowd each other in Western as well as East
ern cities. Men, says an ancient poet, in cross
ing oceans, change their skies but not their
hearts. 1t Is no more difficult to be poor
creature in Chicago than in New-York.
When we recommend going West we mean

der the inspiration of the present Wool Tarin'
are mainly scattered over ONO MINNESOTA
Wisconsin, &C.. hardly one OF them rests Oh
the soil of New England.
VII. Copper Ore and nearly every article
mentioned under this head, is bought, not pro-
duced, by New England. Gunny cloth Is the
only material exception. She has recently DC
gun to make this extensively, and OF a better
quality than any that is or ever was I'M
ported, by the help of novel machinery ue
vised by her sons for the purpose. IL Is pos
sible that this young manufacture might DC
ruined by the sweeping reduction OF duty pro-
posed by Mr. Wells; but, on the whole new
England would gain more than she would lose
under this head.
If any New England Protectonst had put
forth this Wells programme, the West would
have been deafened with Free Trade denuncla-
tons of il as q marvellous cOncoction OF yam
kee selfshness, cunning, and impudence. VI
course no such measure will pass; but we
trust it may be thoroughly canvasSed and
studied. Nine-tenths of the manufactures
which this measure would strike down are
either Western or Pennsylvania: they arc
neither peculiar nor essential to New-En-
| gland; indeed, she would be specially bene-
flied by the triumph of Mr.. Wells's Tariff pro-
gramme, if any good could flow from it at all
We believe it would do great harm, and close
many manufacturing establishments; but fewer
in the East than in either the Middle, the
West, or even the South.

There is a man named Morgan in the Legisla
ture of Georgia. He occupies the seat of a
negro, who was expelled by MOrgan's friends
to give Morgan the seat. Morgan. the white
man in the negro's seat, is disturbed by the
letter of Congressman Tiff, and speaks out
defantly in this manner:
"For myself have been submissonist as long as
intend to be- and have gone far intend to go TO
crafty the unhaowed will and dOmineerIng spirit OF
corrupt Congress"
Well, what of it7 Gen. Morgan may be
great man in Georgia, but as the irreverent
Free Soier said about Frank Pierce " He
lis some butter in New-Hampshire, but when
lyon come to spread him out over the whole
UNITED States he is almighty thin" We
have q Dictator here in New-York who uses the
royal "we," and Common Councils accept, and
Legislatures to come will accept his dictum;
he orders the revocation of New York's indorse-
ment of the XVIII Amendment; Morgan de-
clares that it shall never be indorsed by Geor-
gia. Gen. Morgan has evidently failed to profit
by the experiences Of the past.

The Bay Of SANTANA, with q coast line OK
little less than one hundred miles, and such
numerous cOves adjacent to coal and timber
supplies as make it advantageous to shipping,
enjoys o capacity for harboring all the fleets
of the world. These merits have commended
the assertion that our Government through
Gems. Babcock, ingalls,, and Sackett have
formally planted our flag on the soil OF st.
Domingo and paid $500 in gold as the first IN
stallmento of fifty years lease of SANTANA Bay for
that sum annually. Cogept objections have
been made to the lease of doubtful title for
so large a sum; and we have yet to hear the
official and unquestiOnable statement OF oU
Dominican transactions which is due to Ccn-
gross, and which soon will be given. 1t is
understood, however that Gen. Grant has
reached the conclusion that st. Domingo 10
neither ready to be annexed. nor are We
ready to annex it, at the present time. The
lease Of the Bay is an overture to the posses
sion of the country, and the most sanguine
SPECTATORS trust, that on contact with some
portion Of the influence and Government OF
the United States, the Domnicans may learn
to prefer our ways of management t<
their own. At present some part OF them
deny the right of the needy President Baez to
bargain away their most charming possession,
much less to suggest the entire alienation OF
their territory. What is the extent of this
opposition we are anxious to ascertain. Presl-
dent Baez represents the generally recOg-
nized Government of st. Domingo. and hence
the title he gives us may hold good
at the bar of nations; but the question as to
what extent his opponents count upon making
that title unpopular is, at the outset, an in
teresting one. 1t is said we have offered or
given $4,000 for Bay which some say we
could have leased for $4,000. Let us see il
between these two sums we might not have
struck an honest balance.

bate is that they are slOvenly, clumsy, waste

The prompt action of the House yesterday
settled the Georgia question. The bill was
passed precisely as it came from the Senate,
and as printed in yesterdays TRIBUNE. The
decision of Congress, in n nutshell, is this :
1t recognizes the present Governor of Geor-
gia. 1t recognizes the Legislature of Georgia
elected under Gen. Meade's proclamation of
June 25 1868. 1t ignores the action of that
Legislature subsequent to the admission
of members who failed to take the
Test Oath, and the exclusion of legally
elected members because of color, and requires
a reorganization on the basis originally pre-
scribed-all members being compelled to
take the Test Oath, the exclusion of
any on account of race or color
being expressly forbidden, and proper
penalties being provided for perjury in the
one case, or violence in the other. beyond
this, the measure only requires that the Legs
lature shall ratify the Fifteenth Amendment
proposed to the Constitution of tle Uni'eu
States, before Senators or Represe...t
atves are admitted to seats in Congress.
This action we may now look for speedily,
and it is not too much to hope that within the
next two months, or even less time, Georgia
will be again represented in both branches OF
Congress,

We notice rather an extraordinary judicial
decision in Michigan. A young man named
Adams was indicted for an attempt to Kill q
certain DR.. Church. All testimony tending to
show that the Doctor had seduced the sister OF
the respondent was ruled out by the Court;
but evidence was offered and admitted that
the respondent believed" that the Doctor had
been criminally intimate with the lady. We
must say that such testimony was simply good
for nothing. Men who are determined to shoot
somebody may believe" anything they please;
and how Court or Jury is to discriminate
between a real and simulated belief" we
admit our inability even to conjecture. VI
course, if You go at all into the grounds or
reality of the "belief," you make way for the
introduction of all the facts in the case. Ju-
dicial distinctions sometimes require micro
scopes.
