great length the transportation prob
lem, and says the State must protect

make money from it, he urges the
perfecting of the canal by enlarging it's
capacity, SO that it shalt practically
cheaper and facilitate the exchange of

West. He advocates the deepening of

to be the best means of facilitating

financial condition of Missouri places
the State debt at SIT, 735, 600; amount
of maturing bonds paid during the
year, 81, 412,00 He refers to the
prevalence of crime in the State. and
quotes the English common law, max
ing the people of townships and coun-
ties responsible for damages when

nails. as something worthy the consid-
Grafton OF members. and says, unless
the people of the State arouse them
selves to a higher perception of duty in

!ured, and its progress and development
greatly retarded.
ILLINOIS.
Gov. Beveridge, in his biennial
communication to the Legislature,
states that the receipts (including bal
ance) of the Treasury from Dec 1, 1872.
to Dec. 1, 1874, were $13, 1856, 500, the
expenditures, $11, 759, 1877, leaving a
balance Of $2,126, $50. The total in
debtedness of the State Dec. l, 1874,
was 81, $50, 972, of which $3.50, 900
was paid Jan. 5, 1875. The Gov
ornor estimates that the semi
annual receipts from the Illinois
Central Railroad Company will be suf-
fcient to meet the interest on all the
State Indebtedness and to pay the prin-
cipal thereof as fast as it falls due, and
that on Jan. l, 1889, with all outstand-
ing obligations paid in full, there will
be surplus of, the Illinois Central fund
of over half a million of dollars.
Therefore, no tax will be needed from
this time forward to pay either princi-
pal or interest OF the State debt. The
organized militia of the State consists
of one battalion and fifteen detached
companies, aggregating Lip officers
and men, of whom 974 are uniformed.
The Governor recommends that en-
couragement be gwen to fish culture;
that provision be made for taking the
State census of 1865; and that the
State should be represented in the
Philadelphia Centennial. He states
that the levy for revenue for 1875
should be $4,000 900, and for 1876,
81 100000, with 81 100000 each year
for schools. The Penitentiary is self
sustaining and needs no appropria-
tons.

Cause of TrOtting Horse Breaking.

A correspondent of Tuy, Field and
Farm, promulgates the following theory
as to the cause of horse ''breaking"
when trotting have considered this
subject for long time and have observed
horses of all ages, and have arrived at
theory which am almost satisfied is the
true one Some experienced horsemen
say that horse in his effort to respond
to the whip overbalances himself and is
forced to break to prevent himself from
falling. | am satisfied that this cannot
be true, for if it were horse would very
often stumble when he broke; but horse
in the act of breaking does not stumble;
on the contrary he flares up with plunge
and seems to lose control of the move
ments of his legs for a few moments.
Some first class trainers, again, will tell
you that horse, when trotting very fast,
loses confidence in himself and breaks
from fear of striking himself. Now i
this were the case, the horse would hitcl
and 90 awkwardly from the moment h
was forced into fast gait
Ny theory is that the power OF trottlnr:
fast lies more in the brain than in tn
muscle. And, when a horse under tn
excitement of a whip increases his spec
above a certain point his brain become
unable to keep upwith the rapid continu
Gus motion of the muscles. He loses con
troll of himself. He is unable to put hi
leps where he wants them, and he goe
into gallop because that gait require
little or no exertion of the brain. | al
almost satisfied in my own mind that
have hit on the right theory, and that n
horse should be so handled as not to los
confidence in his ability to do the wor
required of him.

The Eccentricities of Genius.

Theodore went about in his night-dress,
hanging pictures. And he roamed through
his house at unreasonable hours, followed
bv his wife, that lady dutifully bearing
a pillow and a candle, seeking for
soft spot, and turning the occupants OF the
establishment out of their beds in order
to find it. This is a little remarkable
but Theodore must not be judged as we
nudge other men. Theodore is genius,
and many performances OF his, when
would appear to the ordinary world to De
remarkable, were doubles the result OF
superior wisdom. We have forgotten the
