A BEAUTIFUL 1NCIDENT.-Ihe intelli-
gent horse, says the Turf, Field and
Farm" very often symathizes with ami
NAL distress. About year ago, dog
was set upon by crowd Of cruel boys,
and pelted with sticks and stones. The
poor dog had given no offence, but this
mattered not. He tried to escape from
his tormentors, and had nearly succeeded
in doing SO, when q stone, hurled with
great violence, struck him on the fore
leg. bruising the flesh and fracturing the
bone. The animal howled piteously, but
none OF his prosecutors went to his re-
lief. Having injured him, they turned
coldly away and left him to his fate. The
dog limped into the stable of Mr.. Edward
Fitzpatrick. moaning piteously. In one
of the stalls of the stable was well bred
young horse Of more than ordinary intel
ligence. The distress of the dog seemed
to move the heart of the horse to pity.
He bent his head, caressed the canine,
and inspected his broken leg. Then
with his forefeet he pushed some clean
straw into one corner of his stall, and
made soft bed on which the dog was
induced to lay himself down. A close
and affectionate intimacy was at once
established between the horse and dog
The horse was being largely fed on bran
mash, and one day when receiving his
feed, thinking the dog might be hungry,
the equine bowed his head, caught the
canine gently by the skin of the neck,
and with his teeth lifted him into the
trough or box. The dog fell to with a
hearty will, and showed that his hunger
was great, and that his gratitude was
equal to his appetite. Days and weeks
passed, and the dog and the horse con.
tinued to be firm friends. The bran
mash fed them both, and the invalid
grew strong and fat on the wholesome
diet. At night. the two animals thus
strangely brought together, slept in the
most loving manner. The horse would
arrange soft bed fer the dog, and then
lay down and tenterly encircle the canine
form with one of his fore legs. 1t is sell
dom that such beautiful and authentic
incident is brought to our notice. The
horse showed for the unfortunate more
OF that feeling which we term humanity,
than did the dozen youths who were
presumed to walk in the image of theil
God. Nay. it took the poor victim Of
mans persecution to its heart and home
and tenderly nursed the same back to
health and strength. bE

SERIOUS AND PERHAPS FATAL MILLING
ACADEMIA very severe accident oc-
Cured about nine o'clock Friday morning
at the Rhode Island mill, Lower Gold
Hill, whereby Thomas J. Bowling, mill
right, who has been employed at the
mill for the last three or four years, was
very seriously and perhaps fatally injured.
He was at work with helper beneath the
batteries, doing some repairing, when
one cuff of the blue jumper he wore was
caught by set screw OF the heavy shaft
which drives the batteries, and before he
could tear it loose it wound tightly around
the shaft drawing him forcibly into mar
row space between the shaft and the bat
terry bed. Frank Kellogg, the engineer
on duty, was at once sgnaled, and
stopped tho machinery in the shortest
time possible. The poor fellow was
picked up stark naked, all his clothing
having been torn completely off. His
his left arm somewhat lacerated, and he
is considerably bruised and scratched on
other parts of his body. The principal
injury, however, is in the back OF the
neck and between the shoulders,
where the spine received severe con-
fusion or concussion, causing paraly-
sis of the lower half Of the body and
limbs. He is conscious, and talks in.
telligibly with any one, but it is plain
to see that his injuries are Of serious
character, and may terminate fatally
Mr.. Bowling is steady, Woodworking
man. and has many friends to sympa
thize with him in his sad calamity
and hope for his speedy recovery.

JUDGE WALLAoE's LkTrtR TO COVER
NOR BoorH.-So much has been said in
reference to the offer of the short term to
Chief Justice Wallace upon condition
that he would bring Democratic votes to
Governor Booth for the long term, that
we publish the letter of the first named
gentleman denying the charge:
SACRAMENTO, Dec. Is, 1873.
To His EYcellency, Newton Booth,
Governor-My Dear Sir: l see this
morning an article in the Daily Record.
headed, Judge Wallace Exposes Booth,
in which am represented to have said,
in substance, that had been approached
by certain parties acting in your behalf,
with proposition that if l would use my
influence to procure Democratic votes
for you as a candidate for the long term
in the United States Senate. You would
guarantee me the Independent vote for
the short term. l avail myself of the
earliest moment to state that the repre-
sentaton of what said is false in toto.
Had the Democratic caucus sat with
open doors, as was my desire, the coun-
try would have been witnesses OF its
proceedings, and no opportunity would
have beeen furnished for this or any
other possible Misrepresentation to be
reported. My remarks upon this subject,
as made to the Democratic caucus were,
| in substance, that / had been industri.
ously accused. and falsely accused, OF
sympathy with monopolies against the
rights of the people, that my entire
course in public and private life was
open to examination, and that / defee
my enemies to point to an act done, or
sentiment uttered which could be tor
tured into form that would support thu
charge. That you were personally awar'
of my true sentiments, that gentlemen o
the Independent party We're also awar
of them, and that it was singular fac
that when a.vacancy occurredin the Sen
ate by the resignation of Mr.. Casserly
two distinguished gentlemen of un
doubted honor and members of the indie
pendent party, had solicited me to be
come candidate to succeed Mr.. Casserly
There was nothing said by me or init
mated, nor have l ever supposed that an
bargain was proposed. 1t was offere
and received as nm evidence of the opir
ion of those gentlemen of my soundnes
upon the question referred to. l al
sorry that your enemies and mine are 6
reckless and INSCRIPTIONS as to invent
charge calculated to do injury to us both
Very respectfully. your friend,

CONGRESS- The Lower House is COM
posed of 292 Representatives and ten
Delegates. At the opening of the session
on the LIST there were nine contested cleo
ton cases proper, viz: the First, Second
and Third Congressional Districts of Ar
kansas; the First and Fourth of Georgia;
the Ninth, Indiana; the Tenth, Kentucky
the Fifth, Virginia; besides the Delegate
from Utah. In addition to these, but
resting upon totally dissimilar grounds
are the cases OF the entire delegation OF
three from West Virginia, where two sep.
arate elections for Representatives were
held, each claiming to be the legal one
and the seats of four of the six members
from Louisiana are also in doubt, because
two sets of Representatives were returned
by as many Returning Boards. In the
West Virginia cases, the question Ii
which, if either, of the elections was le
gall in the Louisiana cases, the question
is which, if either, of the Returning
Boards is to be recognized. As conse
quence, there are four seats from Louis
lana, and three from West Virginia va
cant.

The strongest expression is generally
the briefest and best. Take the old bal
lads of any people and few adjectiyes
will be found. The singer says: HE
laughed; she wept." Perhaps the poet
OF o more advanced age might say: HE
laughed in scorn she turned away and
shed tears of disappoint." But now-a-
days the ambitious young writer must
produce something like this: "a hard,
fiendish laugh, scronful and pitiless,
forced its passage from his throat,
through the lips that curled in mockery
at her appeal; she covered her despairing
face, and gust and whirlwind of sorrow
ing agony burst forth in her irresistible
tears"

The Secretary of the Treasury has
written to the Chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, recommending addi-
tioaal taxation that the revenues may
meet the expenses, and inclosing bill
for that purpose, restoring the duty on
tea and coffee, which will yield about
$40, 600, 600 per annum. Included in the
recommendations is an increased tax Of
ten cents gallon on distilled spirits,
which would yield $7,0OO,000 annu-
ally; four cents additional per pound on
tobacco, which would yield $4,000, 900;
on illuminations, $3.50, 900; on gross re-
ceipts of railroads from passengers and

The allotment to Alex. H. Stephens,
of the second choice at the distribution
of seats, was an exquisitely graceful act
of the Republican party to q man who,
though he became Vice President of the
Southern Confederacy. had from the first
striven earnestly against secession, and
who upon the collapse Of the rebellion
was of the very first to counsel sincere
acquiescence in the decision that had
been rendered by the sword. Poor man
He sits beside his crutches in the froat

ian home he might have fingered along
some few years more; but, with the
anxieties and excitements of Congress

I" In Love Eypressed.1

When it becomes necessary to reprove
children, use the gentlest form of adj
dress possible under the circumstances.
Reproof must not fall like IL violent
storm, bearing down and making those to
droop whom 10 is meant to cherish and
refresh. 1t must descerd as the dew
upon the tender herb, or like melting
flakes of snow the softer it falls, the
longer it dwells upon and the deeper it
sinks into the mind. Never reprove the
little ones before strangers, for children
are Just as sensitive as we are, and wish
strangers to think well OF them; when
they have been told before any one with
whom they are not well acquainted that
they are naughty, or idle, or careless,
their vanity is terribly wounded. They
have their self-respect, and such morti-
fcations of it are very dangerous.
Fancy how you would feel if all the i'm
portant personages on earth had been
told before your face that you were a
very bad and contemplate sort of per-
son Would not a certain recklessness
take possession of you? Would you
not say TO yourself, what can it matter
what l do now? 1t is much more likely
that child will be thus affected

Praise spurs it on to increased effort
Blame takes away its power of doing
well when it is administered before
visitors. In matters of department
children should not only be thoroughly
instructed, but instructed privately.
Say, before Mrs. Smith comes to tea,
that Mrs. Smith must be helped to the
preserves first. Or afterward tell the
child that it was breach of good man
ners to scream, "Give me some straw
berries" Immediately on sitting down
to table but don't treat Mrs. Smith to
"A scene, for the child's sake as well as
