Flora Temple and Her Colts.

A correspondent of the Philadelphia Post,
who has recently visited the farm of Mr..
Wech. the owner of Flora Temple. near
that city, gives the following description of
the present condition of the famous trotter.
He saws:
While William was being moved around
by Mr.. Woodruff Hughy gave a peculiar
sh rill whistle and In a short time we recog-
niZed Flora Temple coming up the lane.
followed by two colts The name of Flora
Temple has become a household word. and
through. ..>,the land her performances arc
merits are disGu,-"d. Her extraordinary
speed has astonished the .-orld, but her Won
dertul feat at Kalamazoo was not greater
establishment than is her youthful vigorous
az pearance to-day. She is now twenty-fou.
years old. and has done good part by the
colts following her, but there is scarcely an
indication of approaching age. except it be
in the sinking of her back. Her great eye
is undimmed. and her clean. bony. express
sive head still shows the ind0mitable cour-
age which carried her to so many triumphs.
The interest which centered around her per-
formances is now transferred to her mater
nal relations. and to her condition in her
green old age. With all the hard campaign
ing she has endured. and the many life
struggles in which she has been engaged,
she is fat and hearty, and really looks yOun-
ger and more vigorous than any animal of
her age (nO difference what their lives may
have been) that we have ever seen. Her
oldest colt is known as Lady Temple She is
eighteen months old and was sired BY Rvs
dyk. She is all bay without marks. Her
color is a lighter shade, and she will be two
sizes larger than her dam. In the head. eve
and ear the resemblance is very close, but
her body is longer and more like n race
horse. Her muZzle is particularly fine and
her hind leg, according to all trotting ideas.
is an improvement. She will not be train
ed till she natures. and she has good show
then to add fresh iaurels to those she inner
its. Some idee may be formed of what she
is eXpected to do, when we state that her
owner recently received an offer of So $50
for her from Chicago gentleman. The
younger is a bay colt of six months old.
sired bv William WEIGH. and is known as
the Prince Imperial. This is a very taking
colt. and is more like his dam than his sis
ter in blood. The head. eye and ear are
true copies of the dam. Indeed. so far as a
judgment can be formed and comparison
made between a weanling and a mature
horse, the resem dance is complete in every
particular. The star in the old mares fore
head is long and mario v. while that in the
colts is round. The white hair in the TANKS
and the rows of il across the root of the
tail are precisely the same as on the DAM
His gait is very similar to thai of Flora.

THE ROTTEN BOROUGH SYSTEM IN CONNECTICUT.
How the Republicans Secure a Majority in
tho Legislature.

From the Hartford Times (democratic), April IL
= The majority for the radicals IN the Con-
necticut Legislature during several years past has
been exclusively due to our notoriously unjust and
wrong system OF choosing the Legislature The
facts have been published repeatedly. IL Is not
denied that twenty-three small towns OF assured
republican majorities and containing an aggregate.
population OF only 33 600, return to the Legislature
every year forty-six representatives, while Hart
ford and New Haven with q population OF about
10000 are entitled to only four And this is only
one sample, and by no means the worst OF the gen
eral rum OF this most unjust system. Bridgeport,
with % 900 inhabitants, has but representative;
Union, with 1000 inhabitants, has two. Waterbury,
Middletown, New London, Bristol, New Milford and
Ltchhed, with population Of nearly 10000, send
eleven representatives to the Legislature, while the
towns Of wellington, rorrington, Durham. Hebron,
woodbury., Norfolk Thompson, Ridgefeld, Wood
stock, Redding, Lebanon, New Hartford, P0mfret
and Plainfied, with an aggregate population OF
only about $1,000, return twenty-eght members.
The six towns that, with population OF co. O00 send
eleven representatives are democratic towns; the
fourteen towns with a population OF a little more
than half as much, that send twenty .eight members
republican towns. And 80 II goes, all over the
State.
