Training Horses.

Colts are left entirely too long before they
are taken in hand for breaking in Their
future life should be part of their earliest
education; instead of, as generally now,
left to go as they list until the time arrives
for the professional ''breaker" to practice
on them. 1t is just as easy, while COM
mencing to fondle and pet with them, to
learn them to be obedient to the halterand
other things; and thay would then be
brought to work more easily, and with
better spirit than they now often are. We
saw at the close OF the war a seven-year-
old, which had hitherto known service Only
as a cavalry horse, ''brOken i'm to go in
heavy wagon. The cruelty-it was
nothing else necessary" though it
seemed to be, was shameful. The owner
had bought him for that purpose, and he
''would not pull" Two men with green
clubs beat him for nearly an hour, during
which time he broke the wagon and the
gears neafly all to pieces in his rearings and
laying down. He learned at last that all
this meant that he had to pull forwards,
and he ever afterwards made an excellent
driving horse. But all that suffering might
have been avoided by proper training
when young There are some horses like
SOME men, whose nature is essentially
vicious, and with whom the rod cannot be
spared without spelling the child; but with
proper training of the colt, it would be
found in horse raising as in child raising,
the old rules of kicking and cutting will be
oftener more hOnored in the breach than IN
the observance Philadelphia Press.

MODEST YILLAINY.

AS evidence that Cinnamon are satisfied
with small gains, viii remark that they
drill five holes into the edge Of gold coins
drill clear through from edge to edge
and save the gold thus bored out and fill up
the hole with some sort Of metallic com
position that does not spoil the ring Of the
coin. Their counterteiters put nine parts
good metal and only one part base metal
in their bogus coins-and so 1t is very luc
rative in the long run and the next thing
to impossible to detect the cheat. It is
only greedy, bungling Christian counter
feiters that blunder into trouble, by trying
to swindle their fellow creatures too heavily.

The bill of Chief of Police Mauntel,
for $211 45 for meals for prisoners
and committaIs, was referred to the
Committee on Police, and the Re
corder.
The bills for election expenses were
laid over until they should all come
in.
Mr.. Doughty called attention to a
protest of citizens resident on Church
Street. against the order for q first
class side walk. He had inadvert-
antlv left it at home. but the people
were very anxious to have the order
rescinded. They were willing to
have the street reduced to an alley,
and claimed that it was a mere COW
yard at best, and a class No. 1 side
walk was useless.
Mr.. Carpenter opposed the motion.
A sidewalk was necessary, aud had
been for years.
A gentleman who owned property
on that street, said that Church Street
was only used as an alley, Fifth and
| sixth Streets being the thOroughfares
used BY residents whose property bor-
dered on that street.
The order was rescinded.
Professor j. w. Knight, by per-
mission. asked that q sidewalk No. 4
ordered on both sides of Chandler
Street, be rescinded. Action de-

fore the Council to represent the
great need of o means of draining
McInnerny's and Elliott's Enlarge
ments. He had expected that the
| Chandler Street sewer would remedy
the evil there existing, from the OBJ
struction of what was once a natural
water course, but was disappointed.
This neighborhood needed the atten-
ton of the Council more than any
other part of the city.
Mr.. Surveyor Saunders said that
draining that place was impracticable.
It would have to be filed up.
MI. Elliott maintained that it could
be drained. IF it was filed up, no
water from the rear of il could flow
through the city.
After a good deal of discussion, the
matter was referred to a Committee of
the whole Council.
Messrs. Hiram Nelson, T. NJ. Ell
lott, j. p. Elliot & Son and Henry
Gumberts, were granted auctioneer's
licenses.
A petition from Jesse w. Walker,
for a sidewalk on Centre Street, was
placed on file.
The Committee on the report of
John Greek, late Collector of the
CITY. reported that his answer to Bip-
pus and Mann's report, was INSULT
cient, and failed to cover the dis
crepaneies complained of.
On motion of Mr.. Muhlhausen, Mr..
Greek was requested to meet the
Council Committee In conference, to
settle the discrepancies in his &C
counts, as shown By the Committees
report.

has recently returned from q trip up
Green River, reports that the crops
on the north side Of that stream,
look better than ever before, while
those on the south side are suffering
somewhat for want of rain.
Mr.. J. w. Hatcher, with N. +.
Carr & Co., liquor dealers, recently
from a long trip. on horseback,
through a part of this State and I'LL
nois, Southern Kentucky, Middle
Tennessee and Northern Alabama,
says he never saw such thrifty corr
as there is now growing throughout
that country. In many parts where
cotton was formerly the exclusive
crop. great fields of corr are cult
waited, and patches of wheat are being
grown where it never grew before.
Cotton, be says, is not as good as in
former years, but less dependence be-
ing placed upon il, q failure would
be less disastrous than formerly.
Tobacco in Henry and Ballard
Counties, KY, and Stewart County,
Tenn, he reports as badly "frenched.' =
the latter county not looking for more
than one-third their usual crop.
Business men are generally very
hopeful Of the business of the COM
ing Fall, as the planters have not
staked their success on any one crop,
nearly all of them having some wheat
AID corn, where formerly only cotton
vas raised.
