The Way Texan Wild Horses are Broken.

A leather strap attached to the bosal'
IA kind of halter is pulled over the horses
eyes. and saddle blanket is dropped gent
ly on his back, but very seldom remains at
the first trial, as he will almost invariably
shake it Oft. After one or more trials, how
ever, he submits to both blanket and sad
die. The latter is strapped on tightly with
two girths, fore and flank, strapped tight
ly. The rider then adjusts the stake-rope
into reins by tying it securely to the bosal,
leaving long end by which to hold on, in
the event the horse should succeed in throw
ing him. He stands directly facing the
horse, abreast or little forward of the
shoulder, seizes the under part of the bosal
with his left hand, pills the horses head
round near him to prevent him being kick
ed, takes the stirrup in his right hand, and
turning it toward him, places his foot in it
firmly. Grasping the pommel, he now.
gives the saddle shake or too, makes one
or two fents at mounting to see how his
horseship will take it, and then suddenly
springs, seating himself securely in the
saddle.
The blinds, of course, are still over the
eyes of the horse, and rs general thing he
stands, his neck stretched out and head
partly down, q picture of awkwardness.
When ready for the start, thelider reaches
gently forward and slips up the blinds
Naturally the horse is rather astonished
and at first refuses to move. A sharp
application of the whip and spur. however,
readily induces him to change his mind.
He takes timidly one or two awkward steps,
then suddenly doubling himself up until he
resembles a camel, and throwing his head
down before his fore feet, he begins SER
les of pitches, which consists in jumping as
high and as far as he can, coming down
stiff legged.
Some of the more vicious will lie down
when the saddle is buckled on and it re-
qnires tremendous amount of whipping to
get them started; some will rear and fall
backward, occasionally killing their riders;
some well pitch straight ahead for quite
distance; while others will pitch straight
forward for "a few jumps, and then, as the
Texans say, "swap ends so quick that it
makes your head SWIM Fortunately they
soon tire of such violent exercise, being
wholly unaccustomed to saddle or weight
on their backs, and break down completely
in few hours.

General ADdersOn-A Sumter Memory.

The editor of the Savannah Republican,
who was present by invitation of Captain
Harstein ut the evacuation of fort Sumter,
describes an interview with General Robert
Anderson at that time, two points ofwhich
are worth copying. The writer says:
ave enquired of Major Anderson why
he abandoned Fort Moultrie after his posi-
tive engagement with committee of South
Caroiinians not to leave it. His reply was,
that mutual obligations were entered into
he to remain, and the Carolnians not to
disturb while in possession of the fort He
believed those who give the assurance act
ed in good faith, but they could not con-
troll others. He left Fort Moultrie under
reliable information that without the con-
sent of the authorities of Carolina, plot
had been formed in Charlestown: by the
more impulsive portion of the population,
to attack the fort in the rear. He had
unquestionable evidence that such an expe-
dition was on foot, and believing that the
work was not defensible, he evacuated it
and transferred his garrison to Fort Sum-
ter.
And just here, it may not be uninterest-
ing to relate another circumstances in the
same connection. Late in the evening,
after the Isabel had left for the bar with
Major Anderson and his garrison, the
steamer General Cyinch, with large and
enthusiastic. crowd on board, turned her
PROV towards the city. The capture of the
fort and garrison was on every tongue, and
the widest rejoicing pervaded the vessel,
many believing the war at an end and
Southern independence accomplished On
deck there was pile of cotton bales, and
when nearing the wharf we discerned Cap
Hartstein reclining on the top of them,
evidently musing and apparently taking no
part in the general enthusiasm. Passing
by, we addressed him, and inquired if he
felt unwell under the fatigues of the day.

on the animals head, crushing in the pom
derous skull; then, like an arrow, the bear
rushes down the cliff, and if the walrus
still lives, he hammers away with the same
rock till the beast is dead.
Bear hunting is one of the most exciting
scenes of the polar regions. A large she
bear, with a four months-old cub, was at
tackled first by the dogs, which she caught
up and flung to great distance. During
the struggle, the cub was wounded with
pistol-ball. At once the mother placed the
cub between her hind legs, and showing it
along, sought flight; but wounded herself,
she faced about, rose upon her hind quar-
tiers, placed the cub between her hind
legs, and babe defiance to her pursuers.-
Wounded again, she fell dead, and the cub
mounted the dead body of its mother, and
continued the fight till captured.

This may occupy twenty four hours. The
hunter then builds wall of snow, four

Seating himself behind it, he places by his
side spear and lines. He must preserve the
utmost silence, that he may hear the seal
at work and not cause fright to the animal
He even binds his knees together with
thong to prevent the rusting of his clothes.
And there he sits for twenty-four hours,
waiting the coming of the seal to the sur

in hand, and the long sought-for seal is his.

A DISTRESSING ACCIDENT AND
DEATH.-Y Yesterday morning, a little
daughter of John j. Wilson, named Fanas@
Maud, had occasion to go into room alone
in one of the upper stories of the residence,
on Franklin Street, between Twenty
FIRST and Twenty-Second. There was a
fire in the CRATE, and the little girl carried
piece of twine in her hand. Standing be-
fore the CRATE, she playfully threw one end
of the string into the fire. 1t ignited, and
the flame rapidly ascending, communicated
the fire to her clothing. With the ilarnes
spreading all over her, she ran into an adj

screams attracted the other inmates of the
house. When she arrived at the bottom of
the stairway, her clothing was literally
burned off her body, and the poor child so
badly Injuries that she died in a few hoprs.
The little girl was conscious, however, up
to the time of her death, and gave her rela-
tives an account of the dreadful occurrence.

THE CENTENARY FAIR.-The Cen
tenary Fair, at Assembly Hall, conducted
by the ladies of the Centenary church,
grows in popularity daily and nightly.
The management respectfully inform the
public that the impression that the Fair
will close with the present week is errone-
Gus, as it is their determination to keep it
open throughout the whole of next week.
They will use every eXertion to maintain
all the present attractive features Of the
Fair, and add all the new ones within their
power. Our people owe it to themselves
and to the cause of religion and morality in
our midst, to extend liberal patronage to
the Fair, and thus aid the laiiies in their
laudable undertaking. We presume the
sprightly little paper winch has been pub
lished daily during this week. viii also ap-
pear as an auxiliary of the Fair during next
week, and our business community can
have the opportunity of using it as an ad-
vertising medium for six days longer.
The large, handsome central table in the
hall was erected gratuitously far the use of
the ladies by John and George Gibson, and
the elegant etangere kindly loaned by
Messrs. Habliston & Bro. The whole
room is tastily fitted up, and contains many
useful and ornamental articles. The skat-
ing exercises are kept up in the hall, and
that amusement will be feature in the ex-
hibition tonight. TO the members of the
Legislature and other strangers now i'll our
city we would suggest that no more agree
able or profitable place of diversion day or
night can be found than the Fair at Assem-
bly, Hall.

THE CITy SCHooLs-1he Cold lVca-
Mer and the Chitdrea.--Since the cold
weather set in we have heard complaints
from parents of children in attendance at
our city schools that the rooms are not
properly warmed. Especially are these
the complaints directed to the school-rooms
on Broad street, between Ninth and Tenth,
where, on Thursday and Friday of this
week, we learn they had little or no fire,
although, as is well known, the weather
was excessively cold.
IF the school-houses are not furnished
with sufficient fuel to keep the little chill
dren, who daily attend them, in comfort
able condition Of warmth, it is somebody's
fault, and it is time the public was inform
ed who is to blame. Our advice to the
principals and teachers is, il their rooms
are not provided with sufficient fuel, that
they send their scholars home and close
their schools; for it is simply absurd to
expect parents to hazard the lives Of their
little ones, by permitting them to stay in
a cold school room from 8 o'clock in the
morning till three in the afternoon.
And while upon this subject, we must be
peT4eitted to enter our solemn protest
against the rule which makes no distinction
on account Of age in the duration of the
daily sessions OF the schools, the number
of studies, &c. We thiak we can show
that our school authorities are making a
mistake in these matters, and we respect
fully call their attention 70 the subject.

s.A Carpct-Bas Governor Putting on Airs. ;

"a Carp ct-Bag Governor Putting on Airs. ,
Under this captain the Parkersburg (W..
Va.) Journal, in introducing to its readers
the card of the West Virginia Commission
ers, lately on an official visit to this city,
thus alludes to Governor Walker:
The card below explains itself. Tho ac-
ton of Governor Walker, unless some sat-
isfactory explanation can be given, can be
regarded only in the light ofa premeditated
insult to our commissioners and through
them to the State. Ever since the elevation of
Walker it has been well understood that in
this matter of the Virginia debt he has been
operating in the interest of the New York
Tammany ring. Why he should swell
himself to such.immense proportions after
Tweed has been decapitated can only be
explained in view of the fact that the tail of
q snake will wiggle for long time after its
head is taken off. A. year ago, in his annual
grossly misrepresented West Virginia in re-
ference to this matter of the public debt,
and sought to force our State into an un-
fair mode of settlement. The plan suggest
ed by Gov. Walker was concocted by the
w all SIreeJ Stock JODDerS, 10 WAOIu nc vas
under obligations for his election. But
when the trap, so ingenuously set by the
''ring," fell, the only victims caught were
the 7carpet-bagn Governor and his stock
gamblers. They were effectually fanked
by the appointment Of commissioners by
West Virginia. Hence their rage when
they saw their trick to rob West Virginia
unmasked, and when they discovered that
we had adopted plan to bring about an
HONEST settlement of the differences
between the two States. 1t rs evident now
that Governor Walker and his confederates
don't intend to permit any settlement OF
the Virginia debt unless they can make a
good thing out of it for themselves. West
Virginia is the goose that is to be plncked.
We must now insist upon a prompt settle
ment of the differences between the two
States on this matter. A fair settlement
will show that West Virginia owes no part
of the Virginia debt. Bat if any part is APP
portioned to her she can pay it, both prin-
c;pal and interest. Meantime q State like
Virginia that can't even pay the interest on
her debt shouldn't, through an inflated
Chief Magistrate, put on so many airs"

LEGIsLATIvE.-Quit a number OF the
members of the Legislature are already in
the city. preparatory to the assembling of
that body on Wednesday next.
We learn that the secretary of the Com
monwealth is issuing certificates to all mem
bers declared by the board of canvsssers to
have been elected, and il any question as to
the right to seats should arise it will be de-
termined by the branch of the General As
sembly affected by it.
1 There seems to be little difficulty .antici-
pated in this respect, however, and but 4
small portion of the time of the session
will be occupied in discussing rights to seats.
The unaccountable neglect of the election
officers in Lunenburg county to make re-
turns of the polls, as required by law, will
necessitate special election in that county
for member of the House of Delegates.
The late Board cf Canvassers had no re-
turns whatever from that county by which
they could determine the result of the vote,
and as their official faeeting has already
been held, of course it is now too late to
make the return-and hence new election
is the only way of securing the Lunenburg-
crs their rightful representation in the Gene
raj Assembly.
