A HORSE REFUSING TO RUN
OVER A CHILD.

There is horse at present in the
Isle OF Man possessed of such sin
gular intelligence and amiability of
disposition that the sooner he is
bought from his owner and transfer
red to London the better. This
good-natured animal positively re-
fuses to run over human creatures,
and will throw himself into the most
intricate contortions rather than ia
jure a hair of their heads. A few
days ago, according to the Name
San, the horse in question was pro-
ceeding through the market place IN
Douglas, harnessed to an ''inside
car" While thus engaged in the
performance of his duties, child,
aged 2 years, the son of a fruit dealer,
ran across the road in front of the
car, and was knocked down by the
horse. Our own London horses, en-
couraged by their drivers, would
have made short work of the hapless
infant /; not so, however, the Manx
horse, who was observed "to make a
sudden pause, move its right forcfoot
about, and having placed its hoof
lightly on the child's breast, to again
lift it up, putting it down by the
child's side without injuring it,"
The bystanders Immediately extrica-
ted the child from its perilous posi-
ton, and the horse resumed it's Jour
ney, carrying with it the respect and
admiration Of all who witnessed the
scene, among whom, it is stated,
were two gentlemen OF high posi-
ton in Douglas, whose names, if
necessary, might be given.''-PaIl

URBAN GREELEY AND RU-
RAIL GREELEY.

The following is one of the latest
and choicest sketches Of Greeley. 1t
is from the Noti0aa:
The fact is there are two Greeleys
Urban Greeley and Rural Gree
ley. Rural Greeley is the person
over whom the farmers in the West
get enthusiastic. lie is a philQsoph-
ical abstraction, who writes the good
editorials in the Tribune (the bad
ones have been all written by worth
less fellows no longer in the office, J
and who knows almost everything.
Urban Greeley, on the other hand,
is man well known to the citizens
of New York, who are not enthusiasts
tic about him, and who laugh when
you speak of him. It is this one
who is running for the Presidency.
He is rather an odd body, with ma.
ny virtues, but egregiously vain.
ludicrously incompetent in dealing
with men, and generally followed
by train Of scheming ne'er-do-wells
who fatter him grossly, and get mon
ey and recommendations to offic'
out Of him without stint. Man
things which appear wildly improb
able Of Rural Greeley, who discour
ses SO wisely in the Tribune, ar
true as gospel Of Urban Greeley
who figures on committees and ''cor
fers'' with Mr.. John Cochrane.

THE WELSH PRESS A UNIT
FOR GRANT.

There are three Welsh weekly
papers published in the United
States-the Drych, published at
Utica, New York; (Which has al
ways claimed to be independent in
politics j Bane1 Anaerica, publish
ed at Scranton, Penn, which has
waved the Republican flag at its
mast head since its first issue, and
the Nsgesydd, published at Pitts
burg, Penn. All are now laboring
for the election of "the man who
Whailed, ard not for the man who
bailed, jeff Davis" If either Of
the above papers can justly claim to
be ''the national organ of the Welsh
people in this country politically,
the Baner Anaer5ca is entitled to
that honor. This paper has tel
ling influence on the Welsh people,
especially in Pennsylvania, which
will be exerted powerfully for Grant
and Wilson in the present cam
paign. The combined labors Of the
three papsrs will secure a united
Welsh vote for the party with which
they have labored to conquer an
honorable peace when Horace Gree
ley was negotiating with rebel ennis
saries for dishonorable peace. The
Welsh people are good for 100000
votes for Grant and Wilson in No
vember. There are no sore heads
nor disappointed Office seekers among
them, hence no Greeley Republican
Democrats.
In addition to the above the
Welsh have three monthly maya
zines-the CyfailZ, the Oenhedl0r,
and the Gl0ria1a. All are unquali-
fedIy for Grant and Wilson.

ANECDOTE OF CHARLES
MATTHEW'S.

We are given to understand that
the following anecdote of Charles
Matthews the elder has not hitherto
been In print in this country. Mat
thews and TattsrsalI were very init
mate, and the great comedian was
frequently in the habit of accompany
ing his friend to Newmarket, where,
on one occasion, Matthews indulged
In his well-knoW taste for mimicry,
at the expense of Tattersall, during
a sale Of blood stock conducted by the
latter.
"The first lot, gentlemen" said
Mr.. Tattersall, sis a bay flly by
Smolensko," etc.
"The first lot, gentlemen" echoed
MIR. Matthews, in precisely the same
tone Of VOICE, lis a bay FLY by
Smolensko," etc.
The auctioneer looked somewhat
annoyed, but proceeded:
''What shall we say to begin
with p
"Whatshall we say to begin with2"
replied the echo.
Still endeavoring to conceal his
vexation, Mr.. Tattersall inquirir gly
called out, "One hundred guint as p
"One hundred guineas, echoed
Matthews.
"Ihank you, Sir,'' cried Tatter-
sail, bringing down the hammer !;
''the FLY is yours
Matthews was considerably taken
aback by his sudden acquisition Of
''bIood stock" and the company en-
joyed the joke immensely. -EDIToR's

GETTING ON TOWARDS AN
ENGLISH REPUBLIC.

The London Spectator says:
Earl Russell has published a letter
In the Tines, in which he virtually,
on the ground of the necessity of
expeditlng public business, comedies
Home Rule. He says: 1T appears
to me that if Ireland were allowed to
elect Representative Assembly for
each Of its four provinces of Lem
ster, Ulster, Munster, and Con-
naught, and if Scotland in a similar
manner were to be divided into Low
lands and Highlands, having for
each province Representative AS
sembly, the local wants Of Ireland
and Scotland might be better provi-
ded for than they are at present
AS Wales must have it's Represen-
tative Assembly too, and North Eng
land, and Midland England, and
Eastern England, and Southesn
England, that is a proposal for
changing the United Kingdom into
a Federal Republic. 1t would, no
doubt, relieve the central authority
of much business, but it would also
relieve it of much power, of how
much nobody knows

\ NEW APPLICATION OF
SCIENCE AND THE HUI
MORS,OFIT.

Nature says .sOne Of the most
recent applications of science to prac-
teal purposes, which, according to
most people. j sthe only part of sci
ence which is worth anything. is
sufficiently curious. In tho .Iorg
Electrique' of Mr.. Sidot, we have
electricity employed in a manner to
combine the study of electricity with
a ride or drive into the country in
company with a FESTIVE horse.
Nothing is more simple. Tn the
carriage, Or even in the saddle, we
have a pile Systenae he1'maetjque Tro-
uve, and a small induction col, alone.
the reins the magic wires are laid,
and on either side the animals lower
jaw we have c0ur01ane noetaZZ5que.
These are the data. The inventor
IS under the impression that when
the quadruped's motion becomes too
rapid it will be instantly brought to
zero by the passage of the spark
through the aforesaid jaw, but we do
not learn that he has tried it. Ne
would suggest that in cavalry
charge it would be most affective.
This should be tried at the forthcom-
ing maneuvers. In war the princi-
pie might be extended. The horses
might be armed unicornwises, with
blunderbuses and Abel's fuzes, the
conr0nne naetazlique being of course
removed from the lower jaw to the
novel weapons. Probably in this
way the functions of the riders might
be abolished altogether; this would
bring about a great saving in the
army estimates, and in this way
cause the Government to think that
there may be something in science
after ALL"

STRENGTH OF GIBRALTAR.

Until you set your foot upon GiB-
raltar you can form no idea of its i'm
pregnability. Very properly its real
strength cannot be seen from ship
in the bay; only when you land 10
you and that the sea-wall bristles
with heavy guns, and groans beneath
piles OF ball +; only as you travel its
flank do you see how formidable the
breach-loaders peep from every avail
able chink,and powerful morters Turk
behind every convenient embank-
ment, And not until you penetrate
the body Of the rock do you get any
just notion Of the marvellous piece of
military engineering exhibited in it's
galleries" These are tunnels exca-
waited from the solid rock, parallel to
It's outer side, but some thirty feet
therefrom, and large enough to drive
a carriage through. They are in two
tiers, and comprise a total length of
nearly three miles. At every thirty
feet Or so along them, spacious en-
brasures are outhewn, that terminate
in commanding portfolios, which look
to a spectator outside the rock like
swallows nestholes in sand cliff.
These embrasures contain heavy
guns always standing ready for action,
with powder magazines hard by
From the portfolios beautiful peeps of
the bay and the Spanish country are
obtained out of these, on the north
side, you look down upon half
sandy, half grassy flat, perhaps half
mile long, and as wide or wider,
connecting the rock with the main
land, and separating the bay from the
Mediterranean. Two lines of sentry
bones, one at the rock end, the 9TH
er at the distant end, mark the boun-
daries Of British and Spanish land,
and between these lines is the ''neu-
trail ground" The guns in the
quarried embrasures, and those hid
den cannon that stud the western
and southern slopes of the rock, COW
er the neighboring Spanish land, the
whole Of the bay and the straits ;
and the Strengthening work is ever
going on by the fortification of new
points that from time to time appear
vulnerable. The eastern side Of the
rock requires no protection; it is a
forbidding wall, with great sand
slope in one place, but with no foot
hold of anything more than a few
fshermen's huts near the waters
edge.-LondO2 Telegraph,

Did you ever real my book, the

1t is rather awkward to answer
such question in the negative, but

ono, not the last edit5on.'
Well, [ must give you copy of
1t. My book and I are pretty much
the same thing. Sometimes [ steal
from my book in my talk without
mentioning it, and then I say to my
self. ooh, that won't do; everybody
has read my book and knows it by
heart" And then the other I says,
You know there are two of us,
right and left, like pair of shces,-
the other I says, "You're a-some-
thing or other-fool. They haven't
read your COMPOUNDED old book; be-
sides, if they have, they have forgot
ten all about it, Another time I
say, thinking [ will be very honest,

IN my book" and then the other I
says" "What Balaam's quadru-
ped you are to tell 'em it's in your
book; they don't care whether it is
or not, if it's anything worth saying;
and If it isn't worth saying, what
are you praying for p That is a
rather sensible fellow, that other
chap we talk with, but an impudent
whelp. [ never got such abuse
from any blackguard in my life as I
have from that No. 2 of me, the one
that answers the others questions
and makes the comments, and does
what ip demotic phrase is called the
"sarsing."

such fellow always with me, as
wise as Solomon, if I would only

cursing, and throwing stones and

civilized instincts. One does MOI

a charge of intemperance has
been trumpet up against President
Grant by the Rev. 9. W. Dennison,
editor of a temperance paper at
Washington, whereupon Senator
Henry Wilson writes the following
letter to the Boston Journal:
NATICK, Mass, Aug. 81, 1872.
Rev. @. ". Dennison:
SIR-I have just read in the
Springfield Republican, of this date
your letter on the drinking habits of
General Grant. I am astonished at
seeing myself quoted as saying to
you in a conversation last winter
that President Grant drinks toomuch.
"Senator Wilson" you say "will
not deny this" I do deny in most
emphatic language that I have ever
said anything of the kind to you, OF
anything that resembled it. Youl
statement is unquali6edly false.
During the last nine years I have
seen General Grant hundreds O
times. I have seen him in his camp
in his family, at his own table, a
the tables of others, at home ant
abroad, and I have never seen hin
under the influence Of Intoxicating
liquors. Ell. WILSON.

Nothing SO strongly indicates the
man Of pure and wholesome thought
as habitual purity Of speech. By
his conversation, among his own
kind, you may always pretty accu-
rately form an opinion as to the NOR
al worth of man. It is there,
where no restraint is supposed to be
placed upon his words, that you dis
cover his true nature. If he be CIV
en- to looseness of discourse, or his
mind wanders to the discussion OF
subjects prescribed in mixed compa.
ny or respectable society, you may
justly mark him as one with whom
association is undesirable.

GA man," says Macaulay, fought
no more to be called an apostate be-
cause his opinions alter with the
opinions of the great body Of his
contemporaries, than he ought to be
called an oriental traveller because he
is always going round from west to
east with the globe" He is only
an apostate when he deserts his fun
damental principles for no cause, or
for a cause that is not creditable to
him, prefering pelf or power to prin-
ciples, and surrendering that which
he deemed righteous and true to that
which, if he knows it to be false, he
knows to be unworthy.-N Y.

A Mr.. Norris living in Kentucky,
was hauling oats about three weeks
ago when, from some cause, he was
accidentally thrown from the load
together with a pitch-fork, the latter
coming to the ground frat. Mr..
Norris was impaled upon it /; one of
the sharp prongs, barely missing his
throat, passed entirely through his
neck. The fork became so firmly
fastened that his unaided strength
was insufficient to withdraw it, and
he was compelled to walk some dis
lance for help, and it then required
considerable exertion to relieve him
from his painful situation. A few
days ago, he was well and said he
had been at work for ten days.

The new postal law will not only
prove to be a great benefit to the
public. but it will be serious blow
to the monopoly maintained by the
express companies, in It's virtual
adaptation Of the English parcel
post system. According to the new
regulations, packages of dry goods,
hardware, drugs except liquid drugs
and other merchandise not exceeding
twelve ounces in weight, can be
mailed to any part Of the United
States at a charge Of two cents for
each two ounces or fraction of two
Ounces. AS the Express Companies
charge from thirty-fve to forty cents
for the transmission of a package,
however small, the reduced cost of
transporting small packages will be
at once apparent, and the aggreg tie
sum saved will amount to no small
item to every business man. We
can now send pair Of boots across
the Con tinent, in two packages, for
twenty-four cents, by mail, when the
same articles, if sent by express,
would cost more than their value.
The public has not taken advantage
of the new system to such an ex-
tent as to make it remunerative, but
it is confidently expected that when
the advantages of the system are
thoroughly appreciated, the scheme
will prove as profitable to the gov
er@ment as it is beneficial to the pub
lie.

Consciousness Of unbelief is a sign
of actual faith. Infdels are never
troubled with unbelief. Dead men
never feel cold. Frozen feet never
ache. And a soul given up to god
lessness, and bound hand and foot in
sin, has no trouble with unbelief. It
is only when faith shoots its first il
Illuminating ray into the darkened
heart that the baleful presence of UNI
belief is made manifest. It is only
when the troubled soul can say, 81
do believe" that it starts back at the
abyss Of doubt which that first CLEAN
of faith discloses, and exclain:
"Help thou my unbelief!'

''A TlCKLISH QUESTION IN
ETHICS"

In a speech made by the colored
orator, Frederick Douglass, in North
Carolina, during the late canvass,
he gave some amusing incidents of
his life as slave, and among others,
the following: 81 was hungry once,
very hungry indeed, and l had a
little conference with brother slave
on the subject of helping myself to
turkey that | saw futtering in one
of the outhouses. [ told Sandy (for
it was Sandy Jenkins) that | was
hungry, wanted something to eat, but
that had religious scrupIes against
helping myself to that turkey. [
knew that he was praying man,
God-fearing man, and / wanted his
ad vice on the subject, BE told me
tina t it was rather a ticklish question
IN ethics. There was some risk
about it, but SO far as the act itself
wa s concerned, it was perfectly le-
gitimate. He said: You are your
masters property?' YES said I.
THAT turkey is your masters prop
erty 2 Yes If you put that
turkey into you laughter that turk

Of your master, but only adds to the
