[ Mark Twain says of his horse: II

He is mare. have seen remarkable
horses before, hut none so remarkable
as this. ! wanted horse that would,
shy, and this fills the bill. l had an
idea that shying indicated spirit. If it
was correct, l lave got the most spirited
horse on earth. He SHES at everything
he comes across with the utmost impair
tlality. He appears to have mortal
dread of telegraph poles especially; and
it is fortunate that these are on both
sides Of the road, because, as it is now. /

be the death of this horse some day -
He is not particularly fast, but think
he will get me through the Holy Land.
He has only one fault. His tail has
been chopped off, or else he sat down on
it too hard some time or other, and has
to fight the flies with bis heels. This is
all very well, but when he tries to kick
a fly Of the top of his head with his hind
foot it is too much of a variety. He is
agoing to get himself into trouble that
way some day. He reaches round and
bites my legs, too. / do not care par
ticularly about that, only do not like to

/ A DOMESTIC FLAG.-The Hearth and
Home narrates the following incident
for the perusal of young mothers:
An intelligent young mother inquired
some days since how she could best pres
erve her chid's linen clean and sweet
when changed frequently during the day
directed her never to dry it by the fire;
but in the sun and open air if the wealth
er permitted. You thus not only avoid
saturating the air OF your rooms with
the volatile and poisonous gases driven;
out of the linen, but the SIMS rays have
powers of cleansing and disenfecting
which artificial beat has not, and will pu
rify and preserve the linen. She fol-
lowed my directions; but as it is often
/ tue practice, dried and aired it in the
nursery window. Her fsstidious hus-
band demonstrated il vain against this
unseemly exposure. Believing that if
she saw her practice as others saw it. she
would desisi, he so directed their after
noon walk as to bring the nursery win
dow in full view from central part of
the town. Stopping abruptly he pointed
to the offending linen Hopping couspic
uonsly in the breeze, and asked sarcasti
calIy: my dear, what is that displayed
from your window9' Z" Why" she
proudly replied. "that is the flag of our
union" Conquered with this pungent'
retort, he saluted the flag with swing
of bis hat. and pressing his wife's arm
closer within bis own, said, as they
walked homeward, "And long may it
wave"

A Singular ana Almost Fatal Accident.

Mr.. Luther NJ. Kennedy residing in East
Jefferson, was severely injured few days
since, while in the woods accompanied by
two of his boys-Frank and Edward, whose
respective ages are thirteen and eleven. 1t
seems that Mr.. Kennedy was in the act of
telling a trce-the tree taking a wrong
cant, it lodged in another tree, and while he
was trying to remove the difficulty, he slipped
and fell to the ground, and was held down by
the tree Mr.. Kennedy could not have lived
long enough for his sons to procure assist
ancc; but the little boys saw that death would
be the consequence if immediate relief was
not obtained. SO with great carneStness they
set themselves at work in a short time they
succeeded in extricating their father, by dig
gng away from under the log, the log being
so heavy that they could not move it with
levers. By good management they succeeded
in getting their father on the sled, and ina
few moments landed him safely at home. So
much for genuine bravery. 1t was a mani
festation of true manhood in youth. We
learn that Mr.. Kennedy is now doing well.

TIE FUNDING Bill.

Senator John sherman has written to
The Cincinnati Commercial. under date of
March 18th, answering various criticisms
on the bunk sections OF the Funding bill.
IL il claimed. he says, that it is unjust to
compel the National Banks to secure their
circulation by deposit of the new bonds.
II is said to violate the public faith pledged
to them, and confiscate n part of their
property. This is not true in any respect.
Some of the National banks hold the bonds
of 81, sand the 1910 bonds not yet due
These they may withdraw at any time, or
sell. or hold, at their pleasure. The Fund
ing bill places the SIS above par, and the
banks enjoy the premium. The Govern
ment will ask only, by this bill. that the
banks either use the new bonds for secu-
rity, or retire from business with their
property unimpaircd, SO that new banks,
willing to aid in reducing the public debt,
in exchange for valuable franchise, may
take their places. This is clearly within
the power of Congress it is just; it is for
the interest of the banks; and its defeat
will tend to overthrow the entire system.
The right to issue notes is held 10y the
banks at the pleasure of Congress, which
reserves the right to change or modify the
barking system. The national Banks
were organizedto accomplish three objects
| CD to absorb the paper of State banks ;(2)
to furnish a Uniform currency; 3) to fur
nish market for United States bonds.
The system has been profitable to both the
banks and the public. The Funding Bill
is based on the supposition that it will
continue to be so. 1t proposes to with
draw the greenbacks and give the banks
the entire field of circulation. 1t is said
the National banks pay heavy taxes; il
they 90 into private banking they will pay
heavier tax6. As TO going back to local
State banks, that absurdity is out Of the
question. Senator Sherman asserts that
he has always been a friend to the Nation
al Banking system. The movement
against the bill, he says. does not come
from the West, but from the men who
have . sectional monopoly of the banking
franchise, and "chiefiy from a gentleman
Who, when Controller of the Currency, in
