From the advance sheets If the Rev, W.
H. Murray's new book on The Horse, We
extract the following:
Be sure that the horse y0u purchase has
symmetry, VIZ. lis well proportioncd through
out. Never purchase horse because he
has splendid development Of one part of
his organization, If he I've lacking in any
other. Above all, keep well in mind what
you arc buying for, and buy the horse best
adapted to the work you will require of
him; and when such animal Il yours be con.
tent. Never jockey. An occasional ex>
change may be allowable; but this daily
''swapping" Of horses advertises mans
incompe,cncy for anything higher. Another
caution 10 this: Never purchase horse
until you have seen him move. and under
the same conditions to which lie will he
exposed in the service you will expect Of
him. II for draft, see him draw. hack

The Attempted Killing Of Ex-senator
Pomeroy.

Ex-senator Pomeroy, OF Kansas,
was shot by Conway, ex-Member Of
Congress from that State. on New
York avenue, In Washington City, last
Saturday morning. The following are
some additional particulars Of the af-
fray, which we clip from the tele-
graphic columns OF the San Francisco
Ala:
1t appears that Mr.. Conway fancied
| that he had some grievance against
| Poineroy, aud had been on the lookout
| for him some time. Just previous to
the shooting. Conway espied Pomeroy
enter a real estate Office situated In
the same building In which Conway
boards. Aiming himself with n Smith
l. Wesson's four-barrel.ed revolver,
| Conway came out on the street aud
took n position where he could see
| Pomeroy when the latter should come
out. A few moments after Conway
had taken his position, Pomeroy start
| ed to come out OF the real estate office.
When at the doorway Conway backed
into the street, raised the pistol, and
without the least warning fired three
| shots. There are many stories around
tonight as to the origin of the diff
Guilty. but friends of both parties who
are in a position to know the facts,
agree that Conway had no sort Of pro-
vocation against Pomeroy. Conway's
friends say he Is unsound In mind, and
has been for several years. He was at
one time United States Consul to Mar
settles. lie left his wife here at the
time, and 1t was reported that he
had abandoned her, and some Of his
friends procured assistance from Sem
ators Sumner, Wilson and Pomeroy to
get Mrs. Conway n position In the
Treasury Department. 1t ia alleged
that one Of the arguments used with
| Boutwell,, who was at chat time Secre-
tary Of the Treasury, was that Conway
had abandoned her, and that she need
ed q position in order to support her.
self. Shortly AFTER Mrs. Conway was
appointed to the position. Conway was
recalled from M~arseilles, and he has
since considered that Pomeroy was in
strumental In having him recalled,
hence, bears hatred to that gentleman.
But there seems to be no foundation
for the hatred. Pomeroy having al
ways been disposed to be more friend
ly to him than otherwise. Conway
was elected to Congress and served
during the Th~irty-seventh Congress.
