The HORSE AND His RIDER.-It was
happy day for Horse and his rider when
the MUSTANG LINIMENT was introduced
as cure for the external diseases and
injuries OF both. In the stable, the barn
and the household this wonderful emol-
lient is equally useful. If horse is
spawned, or ioundered, or harness CALLED,
or afflicted with any other Of the many
superficial ills that equine flesh is.heir
to, the Liniment effects speedy cure,
and it is,equally etficacious when applied
to draught oxen or cows suffering from
outward swellings, strains, or hurts of
any description. As an application for
bruises, cuts, burns, rheumatism, stiff
joints, sprains, neuralgia, earache and
toothache, it takes precedence for all
other topical remedies, and is therefore
al article Of prime necessity in families.

MEMPHIS TENN: THURSDAY EVENING. JULY IS. 1872

England, twig of this willow was
brought TO America by young English
officer, who, with Others had counted on
participating in the pleasures Of farming
their American estates, after having
subdued the Yankees. This young Off
Ger, while engaged on the part of the
English army near Bunker Hill as aid
.de-camp to the chief English COM
mander General Clinton, then formed
an acquaintance with General Washing
tons step son, John Parke Gusts, who
at that time was one Of Washingtons
aids, aNd was also engaged in carrying
flags of truce between the tive armies.
Mutual esteem succeeded these frequent
interviews, and short time before the
British evacuated Boston, in the spring
of l776, this disenchanted officer pre-
sented the twig or scion to young Custis
as token of friendship. Custis then
married, and owning an estate in Abing-
don, Virginia, planted it near his house,
and it grew to tree and became the
progenitor of all the weeping willows in
America.

The california mustang.

From the Ventura Signal.I
The native California horse, like the
Indian, will soon be numbered among
the things OF the past. With all his de-
fects, he has qualities and points of rare
value, that should be preserved. He
can subsist and thrive where the Amcri-
can or English bloods would starve; is
feet and sure-footed as the mule, while
his powers Of endurance in the harness
or under the saddle are unequaled. He
is small of stature, but as symmetrical
as the Arabian; wild by nature, and
often vicious, but always spirited, and
with proper training and kind treat
ment, frequently exhibits all the effec-
tionate sensibilities of the best breeds
1t is no uncommon feat for him to carry
a good rider one hundred miles in day,
and it is claimed that many OF them can
go much further in that time. We have
seen specimens that, at the age of six
teen years, were as gay and fiery as the
best blooded fve-year olds, and that
would kill the most enduring of them
on long or short journey. . AS saddle
horses they are preferred by all who
know them best, as they are also for all
light work. 1t has always seemed to us
passing strange that no attempt has
ever yet been made in California to pre-
serve the admirable qualities of this an
cient stock of horses in their purity. To
permit them to ignobly perish, as now
seems likely, would be as singular as un-
fortunate.

SWORD AND pIow.
FROM THE dFRaAs OF wolFaASG MULLER


FROM THE GERMAN OF wOLFGANG MULLER.
THE following, although not written for the
purpose. is one of the best campaign songs
that has as yet been published.1 3tiih
There once was Count. so I've heard 1t said
Who felt that his end drew near; u
And he called his sons before his bed
: To part them his goods and gear.
He called for his pIow, he called for his sword,
WThat gallant, good and brave;
They brought him both at their fathers word.
And thus he his blessings gave;
my first born son, my pride and might.
DO thou my sword retain;
My castle on the lordly hight,
And all my broad domain.
On thee. my well-loved younger boy,
My plow here bestpw, NR 81

Contented sank the sire to rest.
Now all was given away;
The sons held true his last behest,
Fen on their dying day.
Nov tell us what came of the steel of fame,
OF the castle and its night;
And tell US what came of the vale 80 tame.
And the humble peasant wight!
0 ask not of me what the end may be
Ask of the country round
The castle is dust, the sword is rust,
The height is but desert ground.
But the vale spreads wide in the golden pride
OF the autumn sunlight now;

And the honor abides with the plow.

FAN Of an Iceberg.

st. Johns, N. f.. Letter in Boston Globe.l
My arrival here was opportune for
witnessing one Of those events which,
whenever they occur, impress the be-
holder anew with awe and wonder at the
manifestation of the power OF nature.
For several days huge iceberg had
been lying off the entrance to the har-
Dor, resisting the action of the wind and
current, remaining securely anchored
by some projecting point to the level OF
rocks below. AS the Allan steamship
Moravian approached the rugged and
forbidding coast many icebergs were
seen, presenting all that variety of out
line common to these huge crystals from
winters chill laboratory. The berg
above referred to nearly blocked the en-
trance to the harbor, and as the steamer,
under charge of the weather-beateI pilot,
passed within thirty yards, the mountain
of ice was seen TO tremble under the
recurring waves caused by the huge
steamer, and suddenly with report
like thunder, an avalanche OF ice fell
to the water, and report alter report fol-
lowed, tons OF ice crumbled away, and
it seemed as if the whole mass was about
to fall to pieces, groaning and reverbe-
rating with peal ON peal till at last the
center of gravity having changed, the
ice island toppled over with a slow and
steady molten, displacing huge waves OF
sea, and another side arose to view,
throwing into the air column of water
as high as church steeple; then the
great monster seemed to shake itself
free, the water rolling from it's many
peaks, and with an entire change of
shape, it foated steadily upon the ocean
to renew its eyolutions as wave and sun
act upon its exposed sides. Often in
the night upon the shores of Conception
Bay, / have heard reports as of distant
thunder or falling of houses, and been
told it was the laundering of bergs,
but / had never before been near wit
ness of the grand sight afforded by the
crumbling Of these ice islands which
have been launched upon the sea from,
Greenland's icy mountains"

A Derenss. OF Pretty women

From the Saturday Review.l "a
After all, is the world so very absurd
in its love of pretty women2 Is woman
so very ridiculous in her chase after
beauty2 A pretty woman is doing a
woman work in the world, but not ma
king speeches, nor making puddings, but
making life SUMMER and more beautiful.
Man has forsworn the pursuit of beauty
altogether. Does he seek it for himself,
he is guessed to be frivolous, he is
guessed to be poetic, there are whispers
that his morals are no better than they
should be In society resolute to be
ugly there is no post for an Adonis, but
that of a model of guardsman. But we
man does for mankind what man has
ceased to do. Her aim from childhood
is to be beautiful. Even as a schoolgirl
she notes the progress of her charms, the
deepening color of her hair, the growing
symmetry of her arm, the ripening con
tour of her check. We watch, with
silent interest, the mysterious reveries of
the maiden; she is dreaming of coming
beauty, and painting for the glories of
eighteen. Insensibly, she becomes an
artist, her room is studio, her
glass an academy. The joy Of her
toilet is the joy of Raphael over
his canvas, of Michael Angelo over his
marble. She is creating beauty in the
silence and the loneliness of her cham
Der; she grows like any art creation,
the result of patience, of hope, of q
thousand delicate touchings and retouch-
ings. Woman is never perfect; never
complete. A restless night undoes the
beauty Of the day; sunshine blurs the
evanescent coloring of her cheek; frost
nips the tender outlines of her face into
sudden harshness.i Care plows its lines
across her brow; motherhood destroys
the elastic lightness of her form; the
bloom of her cheek, the quick flash of
her eye, fade and vanish as the years go
by. But woman is still trueto her ideal.
She won't know when she is beaten, and
she manages to steal fresh victories even
in her defeat. She inyents new coneep-
tions OF womanly grace; she rallies at
forty, and fronts us with beauty of
womanhood; she makes a last stand at
sixty, with the beauty of age. She falls
like Caesar, wrapping her mantle round
her" buried in woolen 'twould 3 saint
provoke Death listens pitifully to
the longing Of lifetime, and the wrin-
kled face smiles with, something Of the
prettiness of eighteen hhD6Fi

Munting sca-Lions.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.l
There is an old salt hereabouts, known
as Captain Eastman, who makes regu-
lar business of catching sea-lions alive.
There is large and constantly increas-
ing demand for these pets from Eastern
showmen, and Captain Eastman now has
a schooner out on hunt for whopper
for a man named Barnum, who runs a
small side-show in New York. The ami
mails are Usually lassoed, though some
times chloroform is used. A great many
are being killed after lassoed-if they
reach the water-the lassoes stopping
their breath and drowning them. The
Captain has one now Gagged which weighs
nearly $500 pounds. The best plan of
catching them is by the use of chloro-
form, which renders them powerless,
but they require an immense amount of
this costly drug. The Captain is now
making mammoth net, with which he
believes he can capture them cheaper
and better than by any other method.

An Austrian savant is said to have
discovered, by means of a microscope,
in a stone taken from the pyramid of
Dashour, many interesting particulars
connected with the life of the ancient
Egyptians. The brick itself is made Of
the mud of the Nile, chopped straw, and
sand, thus confirming what the Bible
and Herodotus have handed down to us
as the Egyptian method of briekmaking.
Besides these materials, the microscope
has brought other things to light---the
debris of river shells, of fish. and of in
sects; seeds of wild and cultivated flow
