A notice in the Turf Field and Farm gives
some curious data about the prices of cele-
brated horses, from which it would appear
that good hOrse-fiesh has always been dear.
At \ newmarket, in 1906, bay colt, by Pipa-
to, sold for So 600. In the same year a two
year old colt by Benningborough, two year
old by Volunteer, and three year old filly
by Sir Peter, were sold for $4,000 EACH
For the celebrated horse Stark $4,000 was
refused, and O'Kelly declined the offer OF
100000 for his stallion Eclipse. Tradition
says that the Duke of Devonshire refused
for Flying Childers the weight of the horse
in gold. A few years ago the great sire
Stockwell could not be bought for 100000,
and, when Gladiateur was carrying every
thing before him on the English turf, the
Count de La Grange would not have parted
with him for $l50OO0. Nearly $4,000 were
paid for Lexington, and his son Kentucky
was sold for $4,000. Mr.. Alexander tefus-
ed $4,000 for AsterOid, kentucky's half
brother. and Normandy, another half broth
er. was valued at 100000.

From the PhiIadelphia Ledger.

THE INCOME TAX-Senator Sherman, on
Tuesday, proposed in the Senate measure
which continues this tax indefinitely, but
reduces it after this year to three per cent.
Congress has already declared that this in
quisitorial. unnecessary and most annoy
ing tax shall cease this year. 1t was a war
measure, that ought of right to be abandoned
when the military necessity for it ceased.
The people have borne it patiently, in the
hope that the pledge alreaaS given by Con-
gress of its ending in 1860 would be faith
fully observed. The attempts to continne
it have been met by opposition everywhere,
from men of all parties and of all sections
1t has been denounced as a most unworthy
and indefensible means Of raising revenue;
as Offering a premium upon falsehood and
deception. 1t is a measure thaB ought te
have been erased from the statute book long
ago. Senator Sherman cannot afford 10 de-
fy public opinion by any endeavors to cone
tinue this most unjust tax. The people
have determined that this exaetion must
cease, and they will remember to his dis
credit any public servant, no matter What
his profession, who tries to fasten it longer
upon them.

The Pneumatic Car Trials.

We learn that on Saturday night the Pneu-
matte car again took the road, under the di-
rection of Mr.. Franklin Reports, with a view
to further tests of recent improvements
made in some of the valves. The control
and other facilities of running are fully
shown by this last experiment to have been
brought to perfection, and the attention of
that gentleman is now to be engrosSed in
appliances designed for avoiding all waste
of power. Three successive runs were made
on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday nights
of last week, which, he informs us, were for
objects personal to himself, and not for eX-
hibition. and were made by night because
the track is unemployed. Our contemporary.
the Bulletin, was represented on two of these
occasions, and from an extended notice in
its euition of yesterday, we quote the fol-
lowing:
The trial on Saturday night was much
more satisfactory. The run was made to
Canal street with q car in nine minutes
The start was made with pressure of go
pounds. AT the turn table at Magazine
street there were remaining 10 pounds
This time this car was taken up Tchoupi-
toulas street. ard was stopped at Erato
street,
We are informed by Capt. Roberts that the
start was made with a pressure of 255 lbs
the difference probably consisting of the
waste occaSioned in getting from the yard to
the street rails, so that lis lbs. were eXpend-
ed running to the turn-table Oh Canal sire ct.
n spoHldlieouS CneeI ny Tic CIoNU VI pas
sengers denoted their satisfaction at the
turning of the curve at the corner of Mag
aZine and Canal streets. On returning, the
car followed the track and did not as on the
previous night go up against the grain."-
1t arrived at EratO street, after a faultless
run, with % lbs. pressure remaining, so that
tue same distance was made again with 1l5
lbs. expenditure as the reduced power. As
the car could not be propelled backward by
its engine it was backed down to the cross
track on DelOrd street, and across to the
New Levee street track, when the air motor,
resuming its functions, ran it up gracefully
to the yard.
1t seems to be generally expected that a
trip will be made in the day time, and we
doubt not Capt. Roberts will consent to such
trial for the satisfaction of all concerned

! 1Ir. Auguste Leblanc, planter of long
1 standing and reputation in our State has.
afteryears Of thought upon the subject. and
which he believes that the destruction OF
cotton by caterpillars may be avoided i'm the
future. His theory Is that il il easier TO de-
stroy two butterflies by fire than one thou
| sand carerBiIlars which are the product OF
the butterflies. With this view, he has in
vented a machine which he calls the Gotten
Plant Protector and BY the use of which
he claims that, in one night, from fifty-five
to sixty acres of cotton growth can be saved
from destruction by these terrible insects
The machine consists of four or eight pipes
lat will fifteen inches long-forming cir
conference of eight feet, which, with res
ervoir containing gasoline, demanding only
three-quarters OF gallon for an entire
night or any other oil, give great light,
that cannot be put out by either wind or
rain. This apparatus is fixed upon fat
floor. with six grooved columns. movable
when required. to nine feet i'm height, (this
being made dependent upon the height of
the cotton at the time,) and connecting the
fioor with roof that must be heavily paint
ed in white with oil. The machine weigh
ing not more than 40 pounds) Is then placed
upon a cart; the burners are lighted and il
is then carried through the field. The but
terfiies, which. like all insects, are attracted
by the brilliant light, will fly toward the gas
as the cart passes them; and those that are
not burnt Immediately, in rising, are caught
by the sticky paint on the roof above, and
are so destroyed
In this manner Mr.. Leblanc anticipates
that the caterpillar may be finally driven
from the cotton fields through the destrue-
ton of the parent butterfly. Experiments,
with lighted torches-althOugh necessarily
partial in their scope-are said to have prov
ed satisfactory. This invention of Mr.. Le-
blanc. and the principles upon which it has
been based, merit the consideration of all
who desire to see our cotton-fields relieved
from that scourge which makes the cotton
crop of the South as uncertain and SO liable
to entire destruction.-New Orleans Times.
