could see this. He insisted his iciest
pictures were glowing with warmth
nay, fiery with heat. 1t was vain to at

bitterly that the faculty of estimating

one of his sunsets in cold grays side by
side with another picture wherein the
reds were faithfully given, he has been
unable to detect his mistake. At such
times he would steadily insist that his
picture "killed" the other one with its
brilliancy. His expectations of being
able to reinstate his father in the posi-
ton he had lost were doomed to bitter
disappointment. At length, he almost
relinquished color, for he could please

to the gradual recovery of the lost color.
He set himself resolutely Is work with

insisted, for all that, it was a fiery red,

complementary of crimson. When he

The New York Horse Market.

On the block adjoining the Third Ave-
nue. Railroad Depot is located the horse
market, where the masses congregate to
swap steeds of doubtful qualities, of un-
certain age, and oftentimes of peculiar
makeup and gait. The quadrupeds
paraded range in price from twelve
shillings to the reputable figure of sew
enty or eighty dollars but when such
sum is demanded, the animal must be
guaranteed to pull at least a ton on
weekdays and show a forty gait on
Sunday over the Lane. Fred Buckley,
an old New Yorker, is the lessee of the
ground, and acts in the capacity of mas
ter of ceremonies, in which he is most
ably assisted by the polite, handsome
Billy Baldwin, who is ever on the alert
to see that customers receive every posi-
BILE attention, and even occasionally
takes hand in showing off the peculiar
points of some high-strung animal that
no one else can manage. The buyers in
the main are small farmers from Long
Island, New Jersey, and Westchester, on
the lookout for bargains in brood mares,
licensed vendors, small contractors, tim
ware peddlers, with slight sprinkling
step up the ladder, and establish them
selves as proprietors OF horse and
cart.
Each seller, as he enters the gate,
marches direct to where the proprietor
stands, and deposits in his outstretched
palm ten-cent stamp for each and
every animal he has then and there on
sale. A large portion of these sellers are
OF the class usually termed professional
dealers, who flock to this market to dis
pose of uncertain stock which they be-
come possessed of in trades with rail-
road companies and other horse-killing
agencies-animals which require an
extra dose of ginger to induce them to
stand up long enough to show what
they had been in former days. Now
and then chance one is culled from the
list which by proper care can be made
not only useful but valuable.
1t is an unspeakable treat to listen as
the praises Of horse are intoned. The
charm would vanish if attempted by an
untutored bungler in the art. The tone,
the look, the shrug, the ehalf-unconscious
smoothing of the coat, cannot be de.
scribed. The charm which sells the
kicker, the cribber, hides the splint or
curb, and turns defects into beauties,
can only be felt by direct contact with
these much-abused but really gifted
members of society. The professional
dealers love for the horse seems so deep
seated that to part with one, even at his
own price, appears to wiring the tibres of
his tender heart. The feeling is so gen.
eral among the craft that it must be
real, and doubtless is communicated in
some special manner from the horse to
the professional dealer who holds the
halter. Men devoid OF sentiment rail at
these exemplary traders, call them horse
thieves and other infamous names.
These should visit the gentlemen at
their stalls or on change; and, if they
have not become too greatly prejudiced,
they will soon be melted by the SINGER
ity, suavity and honesty which charac-
terize the men who spend their days and
nights in close communion with the
horse they love SO well.-Frank Lesliss

An AnecdOte of Everett.

In his speech at the Amherst semi
centennial commencement Professor
Park said: 81 have recalled this after
noon scene which occurred thirty-six
years ago, on the day preceding COM
mencement. Edward Everett then de-
livered the oration. In the midst of the
GRAFTON he uttered one sentence which
called forth bursts of applause.
81 will read that sentence: Before
the admiring student of nature has
realized all the wonders of the world,
let him sit down and know the universe
in which he lives, by examining the
races OF animals disporting themselves
in their representative ocean-a drop of
water.
"After that sentence, it appeared as if
all Amherst College would not cease to
clap their hands and stamp their feet
and yet you seem to be unmoved by the
recital. The reason is found in the
studied artlessness of Edward Everett.
"While he was on the point of speak
ing the words, q drop of water he
turned carelessly and saw a glass OF
water on the table. He put his finger in
the glass, and drop of water was sus-
pended therefrom. have it on the best
authority that six or seven weeks before
that oration was delivered, Everett
wrote letter to a friend in Boston, ask
ing him whether so bold a gesture
would be proper"

Present EXcitcments in Utah,

A correspondent OF the Chicago Times
writes from Salt Lake City:
This place is brim-full of speculators
and Gentiles, who have been drawn
hither by the discovery of the richness
of the silver mines in this vicinity.
East, south, and southwest of here, the
mountains are pregnant with argentif-
erous deposits, and the city is over
whelmed by rush of silver hunters.
Sitting around in front of the Town
shend House are one hundred pairs of
legs pointing skyward, ending in the
one direction with one hundred pairs of
feet braced against boxes and shade
trees, and in the other direction, with
fifty bodies whose owners were all talk
ing of lodes, dumps, prospects, shares,
bullion, Emma, Blackhawk, Jim Smith
(of Chicago,) Queen of the West, and q
thousand other things too numerous to
particularize. Over at the Salt Lake,
one hundred legs, one hundred feet, and
fifty bodies are going through the same
process. Over in saloon, on Main
street, is Captain Jim Smith (of Chica-
co. taking his twenty-fourth drink-it
Is now eleven A. M.-and talking with
somebs dy else. who has just taken his
sixteenth drink, of shares, lodes, dumps,
bullion, and the rest of it.
In front of every whiskey shop, inside
of every whiskey shop, at the post office
corner, in all the assay offices, and out
of all the assay offices are knots COM
posed of three or four men who are
bearded and swart, and whose CONVEX
sation S all about lodes, dumps, bull
ions, Emma, Blackhawk, jim Smith
(of Chicago,) and kindred subjects.
There are great bars of bullion piled
up at the street corners, and smaller
bars of pure silver on exhibition in
the shop windows. In every mans
fingers there is q specimen of argentif-
erous mineral, in his eyes blaze of
excitement, and on his breath the
fumes of Gentle whiskey.
