Things Worth Remembering.

mangers for horses. fnr the reason, ss he says.
that they irritate the ;horax and wind-pipe.
and create tendency to heaves. His practice
is TO feed from manger on level with the
feet, and not over twenty inches in front Of
them This enables thu horse 20 eat according

The Baby Shown to Visitors.

Il is an odd fact, no baby ever did, and no
baby ever will, behave. in company. The
mother always brings il into the parlor where
the visitor is, dressed n its clean dress, and its
father and its aunt come in, smiling, at the
same time. After the visitor has kissed the
baby and taken it on her lap and declared 1t
the dearest little thing she ever saw, the baby'S
mother and she. begin TO talk. Each talks
about her own baby as fast as,she can rattle
and both talk at once apparently without car
ing what the other is saying. In the midst Of
the conversation the baby throws up" on the
visitors dress, and is suddenly handed to its
mother. . .-.
The visitor smiles sickly smile and says it
makes no difference, but she is mad. The
conversation is resumed, but presently the IA
ther winks furiously at the mother, and frowns,
and clears his throat, and makes mysterious
signals at her side of the chair with his hand.
The mother looks down and perceves that
some of the baby's undergarments are drop
ping off, and she snatches up the infant and
flies from the room. When she returns the
child cries 10 90 to its father. and no sooner is
settled on his knee than IL betrays an rresiSti
bic yearpng to 60 to its aunt, after which 1t
cries furiously because mother won't take
It. u...,
Then the aunt gets piece Of candy to quiet
it, and when its hands have acquired sufficient
sickness, it reaches over and manls the yis-
tors bonnet, Then its mother tries 70 show /
off its accomplishment; but it utterly refuses
to make display it is as stupid as an owl.
It won't say mamma" or papa" and it
won't show how big it is. Its father tries
to coax it to say papa" but it pays no at
teniion TO him. l.-- ..t
He tries again and again, getting maddtr
all ,he time, and dreadfuly afraid the visitor
will think the child is dull
AZ last he grabs the child by the arm and .
shakes i, and yells: ".Wny i'u't you say
papa, as tell you ?" Then the child screams
like-e backyard full Of cats. The more the
mother soothes it, the louder it gets, until at
last the father exclaims: "Gi' me that brat"
and picks it up and dashes out Of the room,
and is heard spanking it in the entry. Then
he visitor goes home, looking at her dress,
lud deciding that the end Of that infant will
be on the gallows if its characteristics are al
owed to develop fully as it grows up.

a vicious gait that his speed is got from him

are, fortunately. rare, aud hence the style Of
management required cannot become general.
The true way is % .et the horse drive himself.
the driver doing little but directing him, and
giving him that confidence which horse alone
gets in himself when he feels that guide and
friend is back of him. The most vicious and

many drivers adnpt-viz wrapping the lines
around either hand and pulling the horse back

the horse, in point of fact, pulls the weight

breast and shoulders This they do under the
impression that such dead pull is needed in
order to steady the horse This method Of
driving regard as radically andsuperatively
wrong. II would tax the ingenuity of hum

a Very Timely Suggestion.

The suggestion offered by our CORE

occurred Ia us often enough, and on one
or two occasions, we believe, we nave
suggested the same proposition to our
local readers. Our appreciatiye cOrre-

realization of the public benefit OF
newspapers to the communities which
sustain them :-BdHRcr.
To the Editor AZ the Banner:
The columns Of the Banner attest

one, and with advantage to all con-
cerned. Nearly every man after read

less. Now, suppose each one of your
two thousand subscribers, after reading
his paper, would mail it to some one
outside the limits Of the State, don't
ron sec the resources and advantages of
Tennessee would be made known to the
outside world as fast as you could write
them out in your columns. a wide
awake, readable paper, wherever it goes,
Is the very best advertisement of the
country 1t represents. The great ma
jority OF your readers are not acquaint-

reasonably expect immigrants. Let the

Here Is some common sense that
might be judieiously imbibed further
south than the State of spindles and
shOe-pegs. There are forty towns in
Massachusetts, which are free altogether
from debt, but the names of those which
we have seen are not important ones.
The Tribune thinks it questionable
whether the Out of debt out of dam
ger" provcTb can always be applicable
to municipality, especially when it is
a small one, with reasonable prospect
of becoming greater. A town can bet
ter afford to be In debt than go without
schools, good roads, or a sufficient fire
department. But on the other hand if
a town is smothered mp TO the eye lids
in debt, with little prospect of getting

schools, etc.-does it not seem that the

One explanation for the stringency
of tie money market is, that both the
city and the country merchants have re-
lapsed with the old credit system, be-
getting extravaganza AMI the accumula-
ton Of debt. Farmers find themselves
weighted down with debts that might
have been avoided with far-sighted
providence and more discreet frugaIity,
and are now compelledsS.sto resort to a
pinching and rigid economy which
might have been earlier put into )rae-
tice, and before necessity compelled its

The only point the Courier Journal
can see in the long, labOrious and much
talked Of decision Of the Supreme Court
Of the United States Is that the last
three amendments to the Constitution
DO not alter the relations which have
hitherto existed between Federal and
StHte jurisdiction; that they only pre-
vent the States from abridging the
rights, impurities and privileges of the
negro, and that, beyond this. they do
not touch the rights or powers OF the
States themselves. Chief Justice Mar
shall would have gone TO the core of the
question in twenty sharp, clear-cut SEN
fences. This is it, and nothing more.
