As set-of to the bosh that is talked about that 'onsartin'' animal the Perfect Horse, we give below MT. Charles Dick en's opinion of him. Perhaps he goes a little into the opposite extreme, but there is much wholesome truth in his criticism of the much be-praised brute: 5a 4.ee
 'I object to the personal appearance of the horse. Iprotest against the conven- tional idea of beauty as attached to that animal. | think hrs nose too long, his forehead too low, and his legs (except in the case of the cart horse) ridieulously thin for his body. Again, considering how big an animal he is, I object to the contemptible delicacy of his constitution
 Is he not the isickliest creature in crea4 tion? Does 8 child catch cold as easily as . horse? Does not horse, for all his appearance of superior strength, strain his fetlockas easily as I sprain my anele? Furthermore, to take him from another point of. view, what a helpless wretch he IS! No fine lady requires more constant whiting on than 8 horse Other animals
 can make their ownltoilets he must have a. groom. YouWill say that this is because we want to make his coat artifcially glos- sy. Glossy! Come home with me, and
 see my cat-my clever cat, who can groom herselfl Look atyour ownsdogb See how the intelligent creature ccurycombs him self with his; own honest teeth, Then, again, what a fool the horse is-what a poor, nervous fool! He will start at 5; a white stone Ger a 70 piecesof paper in the road as if it were aeliep. His one idea, when he hears, g noise he is not accustom- ed to, is to run away from it. What do yoaa say to these two common instances of the sense and courageoof the iabsurd1y oyer-praised IanimaR f1 might multiply them to two hundred if chose to exer- else my mind and waasste my breath, which I can neverado prefer coming at once to my Last charge against the horse, which is the most serious of all, because it af- fects his moral c1arcter. I accuse him boldly, in his capacity of servant to man,
 of slynesso and t9eachery.EgI brand him publicly, no matter how mild he may look about the eyes or how sleek hee may be1in thezcoat, asp as sysfematfc betrayer. whenever shegcsn get ths chance, of the confidence reposed in him. '' bne assas4

Medieval commentators of the Bible, says Bishop Ferrete, are astonishing to us modern men. There, is this to be said on their behalf, that they knew neither Greek nor Hebrew; and therefore, no wonder that they often preferred to the obvious meaning of the Latin text some relied interpretation only made possible by punctuation, or by a grammatical con- str1ction, which the slightest knowledge of the genius of the original languages would have shown to be, e pyiorS, inad- missible. The wonder is that they could aud that in good earnest, .apparencly. Their enormous in-folios are filled almost entirely with what one would call the sheerest nonsense, to read which is be- yond human patience. while some of the sayings are pretty droIl, and as such, not without merit. 1ee sa 11@3 1se g.

YACHT CLUB TO BE ORGANIZED.-Ihere
is fair prospect that New Orleans Will
once more boast of solid yacht club. Sew
eral gentlemen, all residents, who compre-
bend the delights of sailing, have made the
first step toward forming regular yacht
club, intending to make an improvement on
the old Crescent City organization. Ihere
is a necessity to keep alive a martial spirit
80 that, in case of invasion, citizens may
possess little knowledge Of arms; hence
we have companies of militia. Ii that Is
good, then why not cultivate an intimacy
with naval duties! Ii a militia training will
teach men something of the art of war, then
Yachting will at least famillarize men with
life on the water. One is quite as essential
as the other while sailing always has
charm which uniforms and muskets can not
boast Of 1t is to be hoped that the new
club will be formed on a lasting principle,
and that the originators will carefully can
vass the character of every applicant 1t
is intended to have our own boat builders
try their hands at constructing the vessels,
members to provide their own boats. The
programme thas far is an acceptable one,
and if successfully carried out will mate
rally assist to make summer months pass
pleasantly
