StOry'S Beethoven.
Letter from Rome.

Story has just completed his small
statue of Beethoven. The power,
simplicity, and grandeur of this little
statue are remarkable. The great com.
poser stands dressed in a single dress
ing-gown, has his arms folded, and is
in deep meditation. 1t is so simple so
natural The lines of the drapery,
the pose Of the body, the expression of
fine head and face, the calm folding of
the arms, are each and all full of con-
centration and artistic feeling. The
whole conception makes you feel that
the great composer is listening to that
with in which is much more pro-
found, much richer than all his poor
ears lost of earthly hearing. The life
size bust of Beethoven, which Story
modelled last Spring, is going into mar
BILE. Never did our great sculptor do
a more mastery piece of work than
this face and head. The fond or study
was a mask from life, which he owns.
The face is tinglipg with vitality. There
is deafness in ke expression, but an
inner life is also disclosed. The fea-
lures, muscles, nerves seemed culver
ing with deep emotion. There is suf-
feIing expressed, but nothing humilia-
ting. The lion name of hair turns
back from the noble brow, and gives
elevation to the solemn agitation of the
face. There is not a spot on the face
that is not full of the cunningest mod
cling and the deep tragedy of feeling
the great deaf artist suffered seems to
course like troubled torrent over the
surface of the marble. You feel awed
as you look at it.

Water for E,orses.

A writer in the Agriculturalist says
"This summer my horses got badly
run down. We fed them literally, but
they did not eat well. They had no
appetite, no digestion, and no strength
and spirit They came home at noon
and night tagged out, and their nights
rest did not refresh them. / sawed q
barrel in two and placed the ends on
the platform of the pump. These are
for watering the horses. Into one
OF them we put a pail full of
corn meal and mixed it with the
water. The horses at first did not like it,
and would only drink little when very
thirsty. After they had drank what
they would, they were allowed pure
water. In very few days, however,
they drink this corn-meal soup with a
relish, and in less than a week there
was decided change for the better in
the appearance Of all the horses. We
do not let them eat the meal, but merely
let them drink the milky water.
have no doubt it is as good for them
as a plate of good soup is for tired
and hungry man before dinner 1t
seems to stimulate the appetite and aid
Digestion.

A Singular Circumstance.

There is something singular and
quite romantic to those sober folks,
the botanists, in the fact that the track
of the Prussian armies in France, their
camping grounds, the siege lines, and
often their bivouacs, are marked with
flowers. And these are not the flowers
of France, but of the Fatherland.
Around Paris even the same phenome-
non is seen. Hundreds of flowers,
unknown hitherto to French soil, but
loved of the German heart, have
sprung MP, and flourish in congenial
soil. SO that the Prussian army, for
merly traced by bloody fields, wrecked
amhulances and all the horror and con-
fusion of frightful war, can now be fol-
lowed by the skilled botanist. by the
strange flowers blooming IN the lanes
and fields and the borders of the vine
yards.

Madame TagliOni.

At the age of 65 Nine. Marie Tagli-
oni, probably the greatest danseuse
that ever lived, returns to London for
the purpose of giving dancing lessons.
Losing much of her property by the
late French war, and DESTROYS of Civ
ing her son, who is French officer, as
large fortune as she gave her daugh-
ter on marrying, kind hearted Nine.
Taglioni cheerfully goes to work after
years of peaceful seclusiOn on the
banks of the Como. In Perfect health,
active as many woman of 40, with an
exceedingly pretty foot, the great ex-
danseuse goes through modern dances
with a grace unknown to the drawing
room. "Ahl / don't know where the
manners are nowadays, she exclaims
with sigh. Nobody knows how to
bow. But the American young ladies
please me best" she adds. 'They
have great facility in learning, and are
naturally graceful. y

A correspondent of the Ohio Farmer
says: / take five pieces OF inch boards
each ten feet long, one eight inches
wide for the strip, and each of the
others four inches wide. l then take
one piece four inches wide for
one end upward, and one piece eight
inches wide for the end piece where the
hinges ought to be. These strips are
four feet long, that being high enough
for any gate for ordinary purposes.
Now lay down your end pieces, then
place the eight inch wide and ten feet
long strip for the bottom, nail it at
each end TO the upright with wrought
nails: now take three OF the four inch
wide strips and lay them on parallel
with the bottom one, dividing the
spaces so as to leave four inches be-
tween the lower boards, and six inches
each space between the upper ones
nail as before. Now turn the gate over,
and take the remaining strip, lay it an
angle from the bottom, at the hinge
end, to the top of the latch end; cut 1t
so that it will fit in and lay close to
the long strips; nail it on, and hang
gate with strong hinges.
