A Belligerent Mustang.

The people Of I.outre Lick, Indiana,
would like to have some professor of Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Animals como out
there ard practice moral suaslon on a
mustang mare. One Mr. Moore under

to the lick to where it was nearly deep
enough to enable her to SWIM, when she
suddenly plunged, reared, threw Mr.
Moore and gave him cash on the ankle
As he arose she attacked him, rearing
her forefeet out Of water Moore was
too quick for her, dove under her body
and coming out behind her, started for
shore. The pony wheeled and followed
blood running from her nostrils and fury
in her eyes: he avoided a plunge she
made at him only by diving and swim

caught sight Of him on he bank, chased
him there distance Of about fifty yards,
and again Moore took refuge il swim

entering the water, he lad happily pick

would call "a bit of stick, and when
he had gained resting-place out in the

awaited the onset Of Nile. Mustang, who
swan out to attack him. A neat blow
from the club between her eyes effected
a change in her sentiments she turned

New KIND OF PAPER.-A new kind
Of paper, specially adapted for various
kinds of clothing, has been invented in
England. Both animal and vegetable
materials are employed in its production;
the latter being New Zealand fax, jute,
hemp, and cotton; and the former wool,
silk, skins, etc. These matters are re-
duced to pulp and bleached. and then
felted in appropriate machinery. The
mixture Of these materials gives paper
of extraordinary pliancy, fexibility, and
strength, which may be sewn together as
easily as woven fabrics, and make as
strong q seam. Among the articles
made of the paper are quilts. and table
cloths, stamped with patterns of great
besuty, curtains, shirts. and various other
articles OF dress; very good imitation
Of leather is made of It, of which furni-
ture coverings and even shoes may be
made The last may be rendered water
proof by the Introduction Of oils and In
dia rubber. -JoundJ Of Chemistry.

Waking as an ordinary hand in a
ph;ladelphia ship-yard was a man NAM
ad John E. Knowlten. His popularity
was, that while,others Of his class were
.as ale houses, o INDUCING in a jollihca-
sion be was necessarily engaged IN stud
wing upon mechanical combinations.
One of his companions secured a poodle
dog, and spent six months in teaching
the quadruped to execute a jig upon its
hind legs. Knowlton spent the same
period il discovering some method by
which he could saw out ship-timber in
a beyeled form. The first man taught
bis dog to dance; Knovlton, in the
same time, discovered a mechanical COM
bination that enabled him to do in two
hours the work that would occupy a
dozen men. by a slow and iaborious
process. an entire day. That saw is
now in use in all the ship-yards of the
country. II cuts a beam to a curved
shape ali quickly as am ordinary saw
mill saw rips up a straight plank.
Knowlton continued his experiments.
He took no part in parades or target
sbootings, and in a short time afterward.
lie secured d patent for a machine that
turns any material whatever into a per-
fectly spherical form. He sold a portion
Of his patent for q sum that is equiva-
lent to a fortune. The machine is now
in operation in this city, cleaning Of
cannon balls for the Government.
When the balls come from the mold
their surface il incrusted, and the ordi-
nary process of smoothing was slow and
wearisome. This machine, almost in an
instant and with mathematical accuracy,
peels it to the surface of the metal, at
The same time smoothing out any devia-
tons from the perfect form. The same
unassuming man has invented a boring
machine, that was tested in the presence
of a number Of scientific gentlemen. II
bored at the rate OF twenty-five inches
an hour, through a block of granite, with
a pressure of but three hundred pounds
upon the drill. A gentleman present
offered him ten thousand dollars upon
the spot for a part interest in the inven-
ton ii Europe. and the offer was accep.
ted on the spot. The moral Of all this
Is, that people who keep on studying
are sure to achieve something. Mr..
Knowlton does not consider himself by
any means brilliant, but il once inspired
with an idea, he pursues it until he for
ces it into tangible shape. IF everybo-
dy would follow copy, the world would
BE less fIled with idlers and the street
with grumblers and m~alcontents -
