Of an Indian girl named Miceala, on

The record Of bis baptism is still pre-

The Tarpan or Original wild Horse

Numerous troops Of wild horses
haunt the Steppes east Of the Cral
Mountains. Similar troops Of these
animals wander over the whole ex-
tent Of Central Asia, which the
most accredited modern natruralists
repute to be the original cradle Of the
horse
These wild steeds are called tar
pans, a word undoubtedly derived
from the Tartar. Shall We look up
on them as the representatives Of the
primitive breed, whence have sprung
all the varieties known at the present
day; or shall We see in them, as well
as in the wandering horses Of the
prsiries and pampas Of the New
World, merely the descendants OF
individuals which have escaped from
the thralldom Of man! This latter
hypothesis seems to be the most
probable. But there is good ground
for believing that, living Q wild life,
these animals are gradually return
ing TO the primitive type They
have lost the harmonious graces Of
form, the beauty and the vigor which
we admire in the high-bred steed,
perfected by the assiduous care Of
man
There seems as great a difference
between the Arabian horse 9nd the
wild horse Of the Sjrppes as between

man and a Malsgssy savage They
