STANTON VIRGINIA. FRIDAY. NOVEMBER IT, 1876

/ INTELIIGENCE OF HORSESHOE. L.,
of the New York veterinary es5iblish~
ment, says that generally horses seem to
understand that what is being done to
them isfor their good, and they will often
bear bravely the infection OF necessary
pain, even when it causes their great
frames to tremble in mute agony. At
times, however, they manifest as much
nervous dread Of pain as human beings
slow. and then it becomes necessary Ell
TIER to CONTROL them by powerful appa-
ntus or to administer anasthetlcs. In
the latter case, pieces Of sponge saturated
With ether or chloroform are inserted in
the animals nostrils. Frequently two
ounces of either fluid will be found sutfi-
gent to plunge a powerful horse into utter
Inconsistencies. while again pint may
lie administered without procuring the de-
4red degree Of an4st hetiZation. Horses
ihow a keen appreciation Of pleasant ia
Fors, and on excellent memory for bad
ones, They also have "a very fair khowl-
edge af the fight Of time. When Il horse
is going through course OF medicine he
will show that he knows when the hours
arrive at which he is to take dose almost
as well as his doctor does, and if he has Ia
ken a dislike to the potion which has been
given him, he will stubbornly resist any
astempt to get more of it into his mouth,
while on the other hand. if he has found
sweet or otherwise pleasant favored, or
even simply atasteless, or if he is allowed
to sniff at it and find that it is not the
stuff to which he objects to, he will open
his big jaws and take it down as gracefully
as horse can be expected to swallow
drugs.

A Bows First Start in Life.

Many years ago gentleman from the
town of Methuen, while on a visit to a
prominent merchant in Boston, was asked
by the merchant if he knew a boy in Me-
thuen that he could recommend to work
in his store. At first the gentleman could
think of no one for he knew none but a
faithful, honest boy would suit the thrifty
merchant At length, however, he called
to mind a boy of excellent character in his
neighborhood, but he feared he would
hardly do, as his parents were very poor,
and he had no education OF other advanta-
ges to fit him for such a position. But the
description Of the boy S habits pleased the
merchant so much that be handed the gen.
tleman dollar with which to pay the
boys fare to Boston by stage, and if on a
personal interview all should not prove
satisfactory, he would pay his fare back
home again.
! The gentleman, as requested, visited the
boys parents, and stating the merchant S
proposal, advised them to send the boy for
trial. He then gave him the dollar which
was sent to pay his fare to Boston, and de-
parted.
| Under similar circumstances ninety-ni
out Of every hundred boys would have
said, 'sNow for good time I never saw
city, and never rode in stage. Oh.
there will be SO much to see, and it will be
such long ride, and here is money sent to
pay my fare ~ Not SO with this boy,
Putting the money carefully in his pocket,
he said to himself, s'This is the first dollar
I ever had /; how I wish I could save it
1t is only twenty-five miles to Boston, [
can walk there in day. I'll do it, and
save my dollar"
! His mother patched up his clothes as
well as she could, and early next morning
the little fellow parted with his parents at
the door OF his humble home, and set out
on his long tramp to the great city which
he reached, tired and dusty, little before
sunset.
He soon found the merchant, who stern
ly asked,-
"Where have you been all day? The
stage came in hours ago."
The boy thought he had displeased the
merchant at the onset. and with down.
cast head and tremulous voice he answer
ed,-
II did not come on the stage.''
"Whst do you mean? Did MT 1 send
money to pay your fare 20
The boy thought it was all up with him
sure, and amid gathering tears he man
aged to reply;-
II am very sorry, sir-I did not mean to
offend you. [ thought [ would walk and
save the dollar I never had one BEFORE"
Placing his hand gently on the boys
head, the merchant replied
my little man, you did exactly right.
Come home with me and get some sup
PERI Then turning to a bystander. he
remarked, 81 wouldn't take thousand
dollars for this boy to-day"
That boy has grown to manhood and has
since become widely known in his business
circles. He is now the owner Of the mills
at Methuen, the Pemberton mills at Law
renee, banking house in Boston. and
one of the finest farms in Massachusetts.

DIVING FOR DRINK.-One of the hot
test regions of the earth is along the Per-
sian Gulf, where little or no rain falls. AT
Barhin the arid shore has no fresh water,
yet comparatively numerous population
contrives to exist there, thanks to copious
springs which burst forth from the bottom
of the sea. The fresh water is got by div
ing. The diver, sitting in his boat, winds
great goatskin bag around his left arm,
the hand grasping its mouth; then he
takes in his right hand a heavy stone, to
which is attached a strong line, and thus
equipped he plunges in and quickly reaches
the bottom. Instantly opening the bag
over the strong jet of fresh water, he
springs up in the ascending current, at the
same time closing the bag, and is helped
aboard. The stone is then hauled up, and
the diver, after taking breath, plunges
again. The source Of these copious sub
marine springs is thought to be in the
green hills of Oman some five hundred or
six hundred miles distant.

| The GREAT CORSICAN IN A n EW DRESS.
"A lady who knew the future Emperor

anecdote, which places the character Of the
hero in no very favorable light: sWe found

at the Theatre Francois, where comedy
called THE Deaf Man was performed. All
the audience were in fits Of laughter. So
or at was the laughter that the actor who
played the leading character, was often
obliged to pause in the delivery of his part.
Bonaparte only-a circumstance which
struck me greatly-preserved an icy 81
lence. I remarked at this epoch, that his
character was cold and gloomy, his smiles
were false and ill placed, and a few days
after our return he gave new evidences Of
that ferocious hilarity which sickened me
and inclined me but little to admire him.

His wife sought an interview with Bona

him to release her husband from service on
that day. He remained insensible to her
prayers, as he told us himself with fero-
cious gayety. The moment of the attack

BRIDAL COSTUMES have learned
to consider white as essentially bridal
costume, but it has not been always so
and even now the Bokhara bride wears a
rose colored veil On her marriage day, and
in the modern Greek islands the bridal veil
is Of red silk--a custom which has descend
ed, no doubt, from the '.flamen,'' or red
bridal veil, of ancient Greece, the Romans
in old day, wearing yellow Yeils. The Al
menian bride on the most important day
of her life, appears in what closely resem-
bles sack made of rich silk, completely
enveloping the figure, feet and head. The
face is further hidden by linen veil, over
which falls another Of gold tinsel, and a
part OF the ceremonial is for the priests
wife to dye the nails of the bride deep
red with henna. In Turkey the bride ap-
pears in rich white satin brocade, shot
with silver and bedizened with pearls, a
jeweled girdle around her waist, her lace
painted-a crimson patch the shape of d
heart on her chin, the rest of the visage a
mass of white, except the black, penciled
eyebrows.

How TO PREVENT PASTE FROM DE-
COMPOsING.-A scientific contemporary
states that the decomposition Of paste may
be prevented by adding to it q small guam
tity of carbolic acid. It will not then be-
come offensive, as it often does when kept
for several days, or when successive layers
Of paper are put On with paste. In the same
way, the disagreeable smell which glue
often has may be prevented. If a few drops
Of the solution be added to ink, Or muci-
lage. they will not mold. For whitewash,
especially when used in cellars and dairies,
the addition Of an ounce Of carbolic acid
to each gallon will prevent mold, and the
disagreeable odor which sometimes taints
milk and meat kept in such places.
