Danger Of Whipping h jrses.

Almost the first thing boys do when
they begin to drive horse is to ply
the whip. If horse is little uneasy,
they will lash him. If he is afraid Of
any object, they put on the whip. II
be slips for want Of being well shod, he
gets a severe cut with the whip. Ii he
happens to stumble, or to make mis-
sep, The whip is applied with vcngeanc, :.
Prof Magner, in his treatise on the edu.
cation OF horses, cautions those who
drive horses, against exciting their i'll
will by the use Of the whip.
Many think they are doing finely, and
are proud OF their success in horse train
ing, by means of whipping, or otherwise
rousing and stimulating the pass on {,
and then from necessity crushing the
will Of the animal through which the
resistance is prompted. No mistake can
be greater than this and there is roth
ing that so fully exhibits the ability,
Judgment, and skill of the real horse M an,
as the care and tact displayed in vii ming
instead ot rep.lling the spirited b, asst
Although it may be necessary to use the
" hip sometimes, it should always be ap-
piled judiciously. The legitimate ID
proper use of the whip is calculated to
operate upon the sense of fear almost
entirely. Sensitive horses should never
be LETT after they have been excited by
the whip or other means, nntil calmed
down by rubbing or patiing the head
aud neck, and giving apples, sugar, or
something Of which the animal is fond.
Remember the whip must he used with
great care, or it is liable t. do mischief,
and may cause irreparable injury.
When horse is struck with a whip,
the driver should first understand for
what reason the whip is applied, and
what the effect will be on the horse.
Ninety-nine lashes out of one hundred
that spirited horses receive, do infinitely
more harm and injury to the animal than
good. Before horse is touched with a
whip the driver should enable the beast
to understand ,chy the lash is applied.
When an ll-natured driver whips his
team simply because he feels out of
humor. aud must wreak his vengeance
On something, dumb animals that are
abused by him know that they are lashed
without cause. Hence a few cas,iga-
tions will often render them exceedingly
ugly.

Boys make Men.

When you see ragged urchin
Standing wistful in the street,
With torn hat and kneeless trowsers,
Dirty face and red bare feet,
Pass not by the CHILD unheeding
Smile upon him. Mark me, when
He's grown he'll never forget it;
For, remember, boys make men.
When the buoyant youthful spirits
Overflow in hoyish freak,
Chide your child in gentle accents
Do not in your anger speak
You must SOW in youthful blossoms
Seeds of tender mercy then
Plants will grow and bear good fruitage
When the erring boys are men.
Have you never seen grandsire,
With his eyes aglOw with joy,
Bring TO mind some act of kindness
Something said to him, boys
Or relate some slight or coldness,
" 18th brow rs clouded, when
He said they were too thnughiless
To remember boys made men.
Let us try to add some pleasure
To the life Of every boy
For each child needs tender interest
In lis sorrow and its joy
Call your bows home by its brightness
They avoid II gloomy den,
And seek for comfort el,ewlere
And remember, boys make men.

ConfagrationS in Wisconsin.

Accounts from Green Bay say the fireA
which prevail in the six or seven north
eastern counties of Wisconsin, have
never had parallel since the settlement
of the cour.ties. The drouth which has
prevailed since early in August, has dried
up the springs and streams and all vege-
tation, and has parched the ground to
such depth below the surface, that the
soil itself acts as a conductor, and living
trees are falling from the action of the
fire, which undermines them. All ont,
standing property is swept away, there
being so little water in available sonroes
to stop the fires. Barns and their con-
tents, hay-stacks, cordwood and other
property, together with hundreds Of
miles of fences are burned, ss no resist
ance can be offered to the approaching
fires. There is yet no authentic aooouns
of the loss of life, although family .

a PALACE SLEEPING CAR Blown UP.-
"A Pullman palace sleeping car was
blown up while standing on the track at
the west end Of the Central Railroad
depot in Depot, about five O'Clock, P. NJ,
Friday. The Free Press gives the par.
ticulars thus:
"The Crescent like all cars Of the
kind, is heated by steam, there being q
furnace and boiler situated in the centre
OF the car. About half-past four O'Clock
the conductor of the car, which was to
run out on the evening train, went in,
saw that the boiler was in order and
then started fire, stretching himself
cut on the cushions after he had done so.
Whether there was lack OF water in
the boiler, or whether it generated more
steam than it could bear, is not known,
but II suddenly exploded. The boiler
was blown through the root of the car,
shvering the timbers and ceiling for a
distance each way. Portions of the
sides OF the car were blown out, and the
conductor was pitched out on to the
gravel SO hurriedly that he had no time
tor inquiries. Hot water was thrown
every where, enough striking the man to
make him feel lively for halt au hour,
and the bed clothing and cushions were
considerably Injured by both water and
the fragments of the boiler. A piece of
the boiler went through the side OF the
car close to the conductors head. The
damage 10 the coach will reach several
hundred dollars.

From the Boston Trarel.r.
The Mackerel Fishery.

There are at present from three to
four hundred vessels engaged in the
mackerel fishery scattered along the
coast of New England from Block Island
to the Bay OF Funday. The vessels
average from eighty to one hundred and
twenty tons each, with occasionally one
OF greater or less tonnage than these.
The greater part of the feet is now col
lected between Portland aud Townsend,
on the coast OF Maine. The catch for
The last two or three weeks has been
very small, some vessels taking not more
than five or ten barrels, while some few
have captured fifty to seventy-ive bbls.
The season thus far has baen poor Que,
aud the price of the fish ruling very low
Some OF the vessels can hardly paw their
bills, unless the fall fishing should be un-
usually good.
Besides the hand-vessels, there are
large numbers of seiners. They lie
around and watch for schools of mack
ereI, which they endeavor 10 surround
with their sens. These are large twine,
ION 500 to 90u feet long, and about 100
feet d e.. Often 200 or 800 barrels Of
fish are taken at once in this manner,
bat very often the fish take alarm and
sink, being very shy and quick.
In stormy and windy weather, as well
as on Sundays, all these vessels generally
m Ike harbor, Portland, Portsmouth,
Gl pucester and Provincetown being
chiefly favored as harbors. Then there
are stirring tiines-a feet of 200 10 800
vessels crOwding the haven and their
boats going off in every direction, while
Il 9 VIII ,rves are lined with boats and
crowded with men. Some idea of the
extent of the mackerel business can be
gained from the fact that to man this
fleet rquires from $500 to 1000 men,
aud 10 provision it $l25, 900.

Victoria and Her Eldest.

Very considerable excitement is main.
tanned in England over Disraei's allusion
to the health of the Queen, and i. is sald
the London journals are divided as to
the policy of publishing his assertions
as to her moral and physical condition,
some suppreSsing the speech and others
giving conspicuous reports of it. The
Queen is said to be insane, and the con-
dIion Of her general health very bad,
her system being tainted with scrofula.
A letter states that for years past she
has believed that the soul OF Prince
Albert is invariably y present with her,
and that she can hold communion with
him. So impressed is she with this
pathetic belief that she will frequently,
it is said, order knife and fork to be
laid for him at her table, AN cause the
attendant ioctman to place every course
before the empty chair as if their master
still occupied it. Every morning a pair
Of boots are cleaned and set down at
the door of the room formerly tenanted
by Prince Albert, and by innumerable
other signs the widowed Queen testifies
to her faith in her dead husbands actual
presence on earth. Prince Albert, it 10
well known, WAS free thinker, and
there is little doubt that the Queen was
during his lifetime made well acquainted
with many Of the bold and ingenious,
but somewhat mystical, theories of GER
tain German philosophers in relation to
the future state of the soul.
The people are evidently very restive
under the the idea of Prince Albert ever
succeeding to the throne. He has all
the faults and failings of the most OF
the Georges. His intellectual caliber is
very light, his tastes low, his associa-
tions bad, and his habits detestable. The
Chicago Times correctly sums him up as
follows: "Where this sprig of royalty
ever acquired his present low tastes and
abomlnabfe habits is a matter which the
Rterati, scientists, heroes and statesmen
of his mothers time have vainly endeav-
ored to determine. A recreant alike to
the memory OF virtuous father, and
the heart-pangs of widowed mother ;
false to noble wife, aud contemptuous
of the opinion of an outraged nation,
this princely Micawber is loafing about
waiting for something to turn up that
something meaning to him a crown. He
is filing himself for the duties of a
throne by dancing attendance upon Lon.
don brothels; is preparing to do his
share advancing the interests of England
by courting the attention of cockney
cads and third-rate Anonymas, and is
fitting himself for the advanced views OF
the Nineteenth century by mixing in
pothouse broils and danee-dive orgies.'
