Horse IfOrdis.

We fully concur in The following senti-
mcnts expressed in the Io'Ca State Regis
Ter upon the Importance of choosing
animals for breeders that have high
degree OF Intelligence and good tempers.
In selecting horse, or marc for breed
ing, speed and form arc not all the quail
ties TO be looked after. Never breed 10
n vicious or ill-tenpcrcl horse. no mat
ter what may be his pedigree or antece-
dents; and reject at once any horse lack
ing a sprightIy intelligence. There are as
many degrees Of Intelligence in horse
rs in the human race. aud without intclli-
genco horse is always sluggish, stupid
and awkward ia his movements. The
thoroughbred Arabian horse has generally
that capacity necessary tor learning any
useful lesson, that all his work and labor
Tor man arc n pleasure TO the owner and
apparently 10 tho horse. We like 10 see
a man proud Of noble horse, bat more
especially does it iii our hearts with
delight 10 see horse proud of his master.
There arc clowns am )ng horses. aud they
are always q vexatinn to the owner
Some will plod along the roal. never
looking where they step and just rs likely
10 step on stump or ina hole in bridge
as any other place. But the intelligent
horse takes heed 10 his steps, and II any
thing happens dangerous to IiIc or limb
10 himself or his master. his Judgment
frequently prevents the accident, Ana
a gentle, kind horse. with large devel.
opment of social and intellectual powers,
whilcs away many weary hour oi the
lonely traveller. or lightens the labor OF
tho long days ol the tillcr of the soil. In
selecting breeders, great care should be
taken relative to the social morals OF both
horse and mare. Like besct' like, and in
no case moro than that OF the horse. a
bad and vicious temper in horse may be
checked, but never eradicatcd, and he
will always be unpleasant, dangerous
and in his lrctting and tuning will un-
necessarily waste his strength. Form
and action have claimed the closest scru-
tiny. and those qualities have been given
full Importance. but the social morals
have been lost sight OF in the strife Tor
speed and strength. Ficioushes5 is
almost invariably transmitted to tho pro
geny. more certainly than color or points,
aud should be a serious objection to any
horse rs good breeder.

TIE Deld,care Peach crop.

The Delaware peach crop. says the New
Brunswick Times, will, it is now certain,
reach 1000, 900 baskets; Of this agsIc
gate one. half will bo lIAlcs and nearly MI
these will 60 into market within The next
TWO weeks. or by the 10Th of August
Alter that tho supply from the peninsula
will bc very meagre indeed. The first
shipment of those liom Dover was made
tour days ago. 1t was only liltoen crates
but it will gradually increase every day
for week. and then Is gradually dc
crease. The Ilalcs are the earliest. but
poorest peaches. and. in ordinary sea-
sons, would not be very highly valued !;
but, in season like this, when the whole
crop is so small, they are likely TO be
greatly in demand, and TO bring good
prices. After the llales there will DC .
few Troths aud Early Yorks. These are
both superior in quality to the llalcs. but
the quantity will be very small indeed (;
and in view oi the demand VII! DC rs
nothing. After these arc gone there will
be none worth naming until the Slumps
come on. This is noble peach, but the
quantity will be even less than the last
crop, and will moi be felt on tho market.
After the Stumps tScrc will be none TIL
near the last OF September, when the
Smock comes in. This is large. firm,
yellow peach, good Tor canning, but not
so good TO cat. rs it is sour With the
Smock will close the season Of 1874 for

Artemus Yards Funeral.

A little incident connected with the
funeral of Charles L. Brown, better known
under the nom de plume of Aytcmu. Wand
is related by Mr.. Lawrence Bartlett, lie
actor, who was one of the pall-bearers on
the occasion. Poor Brown, rs everybody
knows, died in London, in the zenith Of
his popularity as humorous writer and
lecturer, and his death created 4 profound
sensation in literary circles, where he was
universally beloved for his charming social
qualities and the sparkling brilIiancy Of
his wit and humor. Bulwer Lytton once
said that no other American Of his ac-
quaintancc had ever visited England who
possessed, in such marked degree, the
power of winning the love and esteem Of
all with whom he came in contact. When
the genial humorist was stricken down by
the icy hand of death, the club houses,
whose walls had so often resoundel with
the mcrriment provoked by his quaint
sayings and sparkling witticisms wcre
thronged with groups of sorrowing friends
and admirers, and when the day Of the
funeral arrived, the most distinguished
men Of the day, including eminent authors,
poeis artists and actors, united in a last
mark of respect to his memory. As n
part of the services at the grave, On open
air discourse was delivered by an eminent
divine, and it proved to be an exceedingly
dry and elaborate affair. and when it was
all over, the tired multitude experienced
a feeling of general relief. Just as the
concourse was streaming out at the cem-
ctery gates, an old mau, whose flowing
white locks aud venerable appearance
commanded general attention, stepped upon
little grassy knoll, and with movement
of the hand. arrested the progress of the
passing thcong, and besought the people
to listen to him for 4 moment. He said
that he was from lite country town not
far from London, and that when he left
home, on the previous day, his old wite's
last request was that he purchase for her,
before his return, every one OF the books
that "Artemus Ward" had written, and
now that he had reached the city he had
found the author dead and his body con-
signed to the tomb. And then followed \
tribute to the humorist's memory-so
simple, so unaffected, aud, withal, so
touchingy eloquent that it mov,d every
heart and moistenod the eye of every
person within the sound Of his trembling
voice. The tired and dusty tbrong forgot
their fatigue as they gathered around the
venerable speaker, and in his humble
ouIogy they found sincerity and pathos
that moved them infinitely more than the
cold and polished dictiOn of the pulpit
orator to whom they had just lis:cued.-
The incident was simple one, but it
served to illustrate the wonderful affection
which the masses of the people entertained
for him whose short mission was to light
up with the genial glow Of humor and
cheerful fancy the dull monOtony Of every
day life.

show how they came in possessio
of the forged receipi2 But they
do not do that. They are rs thong Il
