Mr. JAMES T. FIELDS THIRD LECTURE AT
CHICEERING HALL.

MR.. JAMES T. FIELDS THIRD LECTURE AT
CHICKERING HALL.
The third lecture In tho course given by Mr.. James
T. Fields, OF Boston, delivered by that gentleman
in Chickcring Hall, Fifth avenue and Eighteenth
street, last evening The Hall was we'll flied with an
attentive audience The subject sWilliam Words-
worth, and 1t was treated with tho powerful eo-
quencc for which Mr.. Fields Is celebrated. The
speaker opened his theme by calling attention to
tho exalted place Wordsworth occupied iu English
literature His poetry had led the way to brighter
worlds unliko poets, his writings never needed
explanation. The inmost thought OF Wordsworth
stood in the sunlight clearly revealed, giving pobler
impulse to the reader and lifting him above the sordid
things OF earth into the purcr realms of spiritual
thought No poet had ever taught mankind purer
lessons than had Wordsworth Every woman should
love and his memory no bard had 81 their
Joys and sorrows with such tenderness and paid
swcetcr tribute to thor virtues. His books
sccfatcd to the study and the Peel Of suffering With
him poetry existence.
The speaker narrated an amusing instance of an
American traveller who. visiting England, desired to
pay his respects TO the great bard Seeing woman
by the roadside he inquired the way to his residence
when she replied that she could not inform hn-she
did not know whore he did live mot know?, SAID
tho traveller. astonshed; .you must know Ii is NOT
possible that you don't know where this great rhymer
lives" "Ohl sec now. !" answered the woman; syou

about mumbling 10 himself. but law SIR, when you

writer OF his time, had raised the moral character Of
the English nation. He man OF sound belief.

never be blotted out And yet although the OF
noble things he had heon in his earlier dnys
by critics until weaker minds would have failed This
icrison, however, seemed to have lifted him into

As an article Of daily food for.this
country, ond some other countries,
the potato has no rival. Hence, it
becomes an important question :
" hat variety is best, all things
considered The kind that yields
best and Of the best quality, is a
desideratum much to be desired
There n so many circumstances
bearing on both points OF the ques-
ton that it is difficult to arrive at
correct conclusions. A potato that
has proved good this year, may
under different circumstances next
year prove a failure.
The Early Rose for an early and
the jackson White for a late pota-
to, seem now to be preferred in
New England markets. They are
both good potatoes, but not one
jot better than several other kinds
that yield double what either Of
these varieties do. W. have in this
country several varieties besides
the two mentioned above that
think will prove excellent potatoes.
The Peerless, of which know moth.
ing personally, but have heard it
possessed considerable merit in
quality and yield and Breese Pro,
life undoubtedly has the same good
qualities. / experimental with
Brooks Seeding last year, and
think it equal to the Early Rose in
quality, while it will yield twice as
many on the same land. l would
say to any one not familiar with it
that it resembles the Early Rose, 6
shade darker, somewhat thicker, q
good late potato, ready to dig frs
of October. There are but few
Early Rose raised for the markei
in this section ; they are good
enough, but yield sparingly.
1t seems to ME If we can find {
late potato as good in quality al
the Early Rose and a much better
yielder, it ought to ~supersede il
after it is wellripened. The Rose
might retain its place as an early
potato, say for August and Sep

Siying generally arises from IL
midltl, but sometimes it is united
with eenning and induces the an
iinal to ASSUME a fear of some OBJ
ject for the sole purpose of finding
an excuse for turning aside. The
usual causes of sbying is, doubtless,
the presence OF some object to
which the horse has not been ac-
custolned, and if he has defective
eyes, which render him short sight
eel, it will bc difficult TO convince
him of the innocent nature of the
mover object. There are endless
peculiarIties in shying horses, some
being dreadfully alarmed by one
kind OF object, which to others is
not at all formidable. The best
plan of treatment which can be
adopted is ~ take as little notice
as possible of the shying, and to
be especially careful not To show
any fear of its recurrence when the
alarming" object appears IN the
distance. When the horse begins
to show alarm, but not till then,
the driver should speak eifcourag-
ingly TO him, aud, if necessary,
with a severe tone, which may even
he supported by the use of the
whip If his onward progress cannot
be otherwise maintained.
The principle, which should be
carried out is TO adopt such meas
ures as viii get the horse TO pass
the object at which he SHES, some
how or other, and this SHOULD be
effected with as little violence as
possible, always commanding in
an encouraging tone as soon as the
purpose is gained. Nothing has
so great a tendency to keep up the
habit as the plan so common
among 'grorant grooms of chastise
the shyer after he has passed the
object of his alarm. If he can be
%pursnaded to 90 quietly up to it,
and examine it with bis muzzlc, as
well as with his eyes, great good
will be Effected, but this can seldom
he done with moving vehicles, and
heaps of stones orpiIes OF sand are
generally only alarming from de.
tective vision so that each time
they assume n new phase to the
active imagination of the timid
animal, Furnishing bits only make
a high Outraged animal worse, aDd
the use of ''over check" rarely, il
ever, proves bencficial.-Wilke

HORSES.

Prof. Wagner, IN writing upon
this subject, says: "Many think
they are doing finely, and are
proud of their success in horse
training, by means of severe whip
ping, or otherwise arousing and
stimulating the passions, and then
through necessity crushing the will
through which the resistance is
prompted. No mistake can be
greater than this, and there is moth
ing that 80 fully exhibits the ablli-
ty, Judgment and skill of the real
horseman, as the care displayed in
winning instead of repelling the
action of the MUD. Although it
may be necessary to use the whip
sometimes, it should always be APP
piled judiciously, and great care
should be taken not to arouse the
passions or excite the will to OBJ.
stinacy. The legitimate and prop
er use OF the whip is calculated to
operate upon the sense of fear al.
most entirely. The affectionate
and better nature must be appealed
to in training a horse as well as in
training d child. A reproof given
may be intended for the good of
the child. but if only the passions
are excited, the object 10 ~depraving
and injurious. This isa vital prin-
ciple, and can be disregarded in
the management of sensitive and
courageous horses only at the risk
of spelling them. 1 have known
many horses of a naturally gentle
character to be spoiled by whip
ping once, and one horse that was
made vicious by being struch with.
a whip once willie standing in his.

weeks at most. Their diet should
be Indian, oat or barley meal,
