GEORGE THE THIRD.

John Adams, in n letter to Secretary jay,
states that King George III. behaved not
only handsomely, but even nobly. when in
June, 1885, he received Adams as the first
ambassador frcm the United States to
England. In u few well-selected words
Adams addressed the king, and received
the following reply "Sir, | wish you to
believe, and that it may be understood in
America, that l nave lone nothing in the
lgte contest but what | thought myself
in~dispeusably bound to do by the duty
which owed to my people. win he very

to the separation but the separation having
been made, and having become inevitable,
l have always said, as | say now, that 1
would be the first to meet the friendship of
the United States as an independent power"
These are words of proper dignity, as well
as of decorous wisdom. Mr.. Adams. who
recorded them. hnpressirely adds : - The
king was indeed much affected, and 1 con
fcss was not less so. - BurgeS' History. 4

Walking Horses.

Eyerybc1y comedies that thcre is no gait
which 40 giea:ly adds to the actual value OF
the horse as q fast walk, and yet it 10 no
torions that there is no gait SO little Guilt
yated. Even our agricultural societies, that
are supposed to especially foster the i'm.
provement of our domestic animals in all
useful qualities. persistently ignore this.
the most valuable of MI gaits in the horse.
A premium for tho fastest walking horse is
very rarely offered. and when there is such
a thing, the amount is SO insignificant as to
attract no attention; while hundreds, and
in many cases thousands, OF dollars were
offered for tials OF speed at the faster and
less useful gaits.
This Is not as it should be. We have
racing associations oil over tho country,
which offer enormous purses for uotting
and running, thus furnishing abundant
stimulus for improvement in that direction,
| and it is the especial provision OF our agri.
cultural societies to stimulate Improvement
in the horse that is really the most valuable
for agricultural purposes, and in that gait
which Is best adapted to tho use to which
he is put. The walk Is the gait which the
horse must assume when drawing the pillow,
the harrow, the resping machine, or when
performing a long journey on the road ; and
here the superiority OF q pair of fast walk
ers, over those of @ nopipg, nx1ike gait is
apparent. A horse that can walk OIL OH
the road ut tho rate of FIVE miles an hour,
and at u correspondingly rapid gait when
harnessed to the pillow or harrow, is q treas
ure to a farmer; yet such horses are more
rare than 80 ~trotters. There is no reason
why this should be the case. The trouble
il not so much from lack of capacity for
fast walking in most Of our horses, rs it is
from q failure to cultivate that gait The
rage among the boys, stable hands, and even
staid and sober farmers, is for speed; and
soon as the colt is broken he must be made
to trot. lie is taught at once to understand
that the walk is a gait to be resorted to only
when time is u matter of no consequence,
and thus many q naturally fast walker be-
comes, from use, q very slow one.
II as much pains were taken in develop
ing and breeding for increased speed at the
walking gait as is now AIKEN for breeding
for trotting. we should soon have very
many horses that could walk five miles per
hour. aud horses that could walk a mile on
! the road in ten minutes, or six miles per
hour. would be Is often met with as trot.
! tiers that can go ten miles an hour for any
considerable length Of time.

PLAIN TALK TO A GIRL.

Your everyday toilet is II part Of you,
character. A girl who looks like a fury II
or a sloven in the morning is not to he trust
ed however finely she may look in the
evening. No matter how humble your room
may be-, there are eight things it should
contain, viz. n mirror, washstand, soap,
towel, comb, hair, nail and tooth brushes.
These are just as essential ms your break
fast, before which you should make good
and free use of them. Parents who fail to
provide their children with such appliances
not only make n great mistake, but commit
n sin Of omission. Look tidy in the morn
ing, and after the Inner work is over i'm
prove your toilet. - Make it a rule of your
daily life to dress up" in the afternoon.
Your dress may or may not be anything

flower, or some bit of ornament. you can
have an air of self respect and satisfaction
that invariably comes with being well
dressed.

An extraordinary religious movement is
taking place in Sweden, where a petition
signed by nearly %, 1000 persons has been
presented to the King, praying that .'the
use of the Holy Communion may be free,
like the use of Gods Word" . or, in other
words, that the celebration of the commun-
ion may take place also put of the churches,
and that the celebrants may be other than
persons in holy orders. The Ecclesiastical
Court at the Cathedral Chapter Of Upsala,
to whom the petition has been referred,
has reported against such an innovation.
which, in their opinion, would eventually
destroy the church." The Government
will probably refuse the prayer of the pc.
t%itioners, and the consequence will be a
serious split in the Swedish Church. Until
very lately there was no religious liberty in
Sweden, Roman Catholics and Jews, for
instance, being unable to exercise their
religion publicly the consequence being
that eNen at present the total number of
Jew. in sweden barely amounts to /. 400

boilers, valves, cylinders, slides, levers,
wheels, pumps, rods, and eccentrics com
plete, all working with the greatest regu-
iarity and ease, while Mr.. G.. A. Woodroffe,
their ingenious constructor and owner,
lucidly explained the working of the various
parts, and the generation and application
OF steam at high and low pressure. The

of Jets of gas, and when in motion, the
wonder of the spectator is, that 40 brittle
n material does not snap at some delicate
part, more especially when worked with
great velocity, but such has been the skill
with which they have been constructed, the
nicely with which every part is connected.
and the harmony of the whole, that such an
accident is well nigh insured against. These
are certainly wonderful pieces of workman

THE SOUTH STANDS By HAYES.

The Richmond (Virginia) Dispatch,
one of the fre-eating journals of the
South, in commenting on the proposed
inquiry into the Presidential election.
says: ''rhe report that Conkling and
Others intend to try Hayes title to the
Presidency, is sensational and ridicu.
lous. Ii it could be proven that the
Hayes electors in Florida and Louisi
ana were counted in frauduleutiy. that
fact would not invalidate Hayes title,
which is as good as was that of George
Washington.
1t is very evident from the tone of
the press aud tue leading men of the
South. that they will stand by Hayes
and his policy against Northern oppo-
sition. whether that opposition comes
from Republicans or Democrats. 1t
has been said that the South is solidIy
Democratic. but it is seen that it is
solid for Hayes. and will not, if it can
prevent it, permit any Investigation
tending to prove that the withdrawal OF
troops from South Carolina and Louisi-
ana was in accordance with the terms
of an agreement entered into by the
friends of Hayes and Southern Repre-
sentatives at the time the electoral
count was progressing.
