what is "a thoroughbred ?

The inexperienced stock-raiser does
not understand the term as above, and
the Maine Farmer answers the question
as to what is thoroughbred" as fol
lows:S
Strictly speaking, a thoroughbred
horse is one whose pedigree, lineally and
collaterally, can be traced to an ap.
proved Oriental source, the fountain
head of the best blood of England. The
thoroughbred horse of America is the
only family of the horse on this conti-
nent of pure and unmixed blood And
Herbert says this pretention even can
not be made out to satisfaction in all
cases, even where the American
thoroughbred can trace directly in both
lines to imported English thoroughbred
sire and dam, because many of the most
distinguished English race-horses can
not establish an unquestioned de-
scent on both sides from royal
Oriental, i. g. Arabians or Barbs) sire
and royal dam, which is, technically
speaking, requisite to constitute per-
feet thoroughbred But, latterly, it has
been deemed sufficient for a thorough
bred whose pedigree is not on record
on the Stud Book, which has been kept
up from the time of Charles ii. (l660-
1851, who sent abroad the Master of
the Horse" to procure Oriental mares
for breeding purposes. From want Of
such a record in this country, American
horses are considered thoroughbred if
the sire be known to be so and if the
dam can be so, and if the mare can be
traced without a stain to some mare of
the fifth remove, reputed to be thorough
bred

Carafa, the composer, who died re-
Gently, was far from rich. His princi-
pal income, according to the Swiss
Times, was derived from a snuff-box.
This snufF-box was given to the author
of LA Prison d'Edimbourg" about
thirty years ago by Baron James De
Rothschild, as a token of esteem.
Carafa sold it twenty-four hours later
for seventy-fve Napoleons to the same
jeweler from whom it had been bought.
This became known to Rothsehild, who
gave it again to the musician on the fol-
lowing year. The next day it returned
to the jewelers.. This traffic continued
until the death of the banker, and longer
still, for his sons kept up the tradition
to the great satisfaction of Carafa.

TO A POET.
BY MRS. JOAQUIN MILLER.

No more in volumes olden
Culling and coming all day,
Take your winged steed to yon mountain
And loosen him there to play;
0 mountain. rise up from my Poet
And show him your grandest peaks;
Let your bird from the brown cliffs call hin
Wnie she cries and wildly shrieks.
Let him sing Of the homeless hero
Who loitered around your base,
When man, in spacious freedom,
Dived for the camp and the chase;
Sing of the heightened pack trains
That wound through the soiitudes
Of the song that never echoed
In the wildness of other woods.
Sing of a weary miner,
Who long, long years ago
Traversed these lonesome gulehes
And climbed to a summit of snow;
In the dead and lonesome silence
lie lighted his red campfire,
And it warmed the heart Of the forest,
Reaching up higher and higher,
And the gray side of the mountain
Comes forth like scenic show,
With a group of pantomime shadows
Wandering to and fro.
And the sound of the sea comes to him
Like thunders of distant cars;
The brook leaps up from the canyon
And catches the listless stars;
The campfire slumbers beside him
In rhyme with the cricket,,s drone;
His meat is crisped on the embers.
And he drinks his tea alone.
A CHASTITY skull of the red man
Shines out from the feru leaves there;
Alas, and alas, poor miner,
Thine own is as smooth and bare!
The mad blaze snaps at the pine boughs
That quiyer and waver and fall,
And his qha had0W laQng over the dead logs.
Lengthened and crooked and tall.
From the wild and gloomy forest
Comes the cry of a lonesome owl;
From the dark ravine up breaking
The threat of savage grOwl;
But his rife stands by the fir-tree-
In his belt knife and brace;
So he dreamily looks in the campfire,
And a smile plays over his face,
Down in the gnlch he has sifted
Some sand that is fine and black
There is gold lying under the boulder
And under the rivers track.
Now down on the side of the mountain
He strays in rambling quest
Of level nook by a fr-tree
To spread his lonely rest.
In dreams sweet visions come to him
More bright than the gold below,
For be dreams that the woman is faithful
Who was false long years ago;
He hears her loving whisper.
And they pledge their VOWS anew,
And hand in hand the dreamland
They wander through and through.
o Poet, sing Of my hero;
He is weary and homeless and old,
And he sleeps by his dying campfire,
Dreaming of Love and gold.
In his wild woods shrill note echoes,
And dead leaf drops from the stem,
And a shadow stirs under the ir-tree-
Go, sing now in numbers of them.
