sure that she was asleep that he touched
her with his whip, but she did mot move.
On closer inspection he saw that she was
dead-that she had ceased to breathe
while sleeping soundly. Her old COM
panion remained upon the same spot,
the foal increasing the eagerness OF its
cries. After q lapse of three days the
owner, in company with his stockman,
visited the spot; they saw only the foal
outside the hut; the Old faithful friend
had laid down close alongside of her
former companion, and, strange to say,
was quite dead also.
Farm Horses.
/. There is much discussion among d
farmers about which breed OF horses, or
what sized horses are suitable for farm
horses. I am inclined to horses from
1000 to 1900 pounds ir weight, as be-
ing the best size; and I think that q
blood stallion bred to q large roomy
mare, will give us the most satisfactory
stock. Many incline to the Norman
horses, and if you want to sell the colts,
you will find them as profitable as any;
but I would prefer horses with less beef
on their legs. 7 have seen two teams
this spring, each having a beefy horse
and a trim-built one, and in each case
the beefy-legged horse had the scratch
es badly, while his mate was free from
the ailment. That these beefy horses
will keep in good order on less feed
than o high-strung, active horse, I am
quite willing to admit; that they are
able to do as much work when we'll fed,
I doubt; and 7 am certain that, ip An
emergency, one active horse is worth
two Of the others. There is almost no
limit to what an active, ambitious team
can pull for q short distance, and after .
rest or elbow" they car do it again and
again, while your big, beefy horse is
discouraged and has to be urged to
make him take the collar after a severe
pull. And anyway, with our farm work
pluck is more needed than weight. I
have seer a big team tired out, plough
ing, when a small, active team had done
more work and felt fresh at the end, in
blowing a fallow where the ground wal

To Keep Furs in Summer.
Furs or woolens may be kept safely
from moths during the summer by
brushing thoroughly, 80 as to eradicate
all the moth eggs; then wrap them up
in newspaper so that every part is Gov
cred entirely. This is unfailing if the
clothes or furs be we'll brushed before
hand. Some think gum camphor put
with them is desirable, but I have used
only the newspaper, and never had any
trouble unless the moths were there
when wrapped up in it.

Two Oiu cTlCuubs
A gentleman living at q cattle station
in Queensland often noticed two very
old mares; the one had a fine foal by her
side, the other had zone. For many
years these aged mares had run together;
in winter they sought the ridges for
shelter, in summer the banks of the
creeks were their resort. A deserted
shepherds hut stood by a creek, and on
nearing it the owner of the station
was struck by the way the foal was going
on; for it would ga!lop round the hut
making the valley ring with its plte-
GUS appeals, and then would timidly
make it's way back to the hut, peering in
at an opening, and then again, MS if in
utter despair, scamper back to tho creek:
When the owner went to the hut, one OF
the mares was inside, standing still, and
seemed to take little or no notice OF him,
while tho mother of the foal was lying
down quite naturally inside the build
ing: her posture was that Of o tired horse
trying to rest every limb at once. Her
ears, inclining forwards, gave her the
appearance Of being asleep. He felt sc

The reaction in public sentiment at De-

that the letters upon which the charges |
against The venerable bishop were based |
are of two classes, the real and forged ones |
The first class includes four, which are
now in the safe of the First National bank |
of that city. They are said by correspon.

hicrcgiyphic cypher, and their asruage is |
coarse, mlsspeled and vulgar, as different
as possible from the chaste, scholarly manu-
script OF the bishop, as shown in the gen.
ulnc letters Another fact is Of great weight
as pointing out the real author OF the scan.
dal. Mcconnell, the printer who processes
to have stolen the letters from Fannie
Richards while courting her, has certain
aptness in drawing The forged letters are
interlard-d with indecent drawings in pen
and pencil, just such sketches as Mcconnell
has been frequently known to make, but
which Bishop McCoskry could not make
if he had wished to All this, with the
promp, aud honestly indignant denial OF
Mrs Banist.r and McCoskry, ought, il
would seem, t., constitute an imprcgnable
case. without further examination or trial

they saw this they must have walked into
the enterprise consciously and with open
eyes Ii not there should be some means
OF teaching them and Mr.. Storey better
discretion. Here would seem to be case
in which to test the question whether man

any protection against the class of news

THR MEXICAN TROUBLES.

Since the resumption Of diplomatic re-
latiOns with Mexico, correspondence has
been opened and still continues between
the JWo Governments upon the various
questions which at one time seemed to en-
danger their relations. While no formal
agreement has been reached as to the
troubles on the border, much has been
done to FepFess and diminish them. Teh
effective force OF United States troops on
the Rio Grande, by strict and faithful
compliance with instructions, has done
much to remove the sources of dispute,
and il is now understood that like force
Of Mexican troops on ths other side Of the
river IS also making an sneEgstio move
ment against the msraudIng Indian tribes.
This Government looks with the greatest
satisfaction upon every evidence Of strength
in the national Ruthority Of Mexico, and
upon every effort put forth to prevent or to
punish lncursions upon OgF territcry. Re-
lnctant to assume any action or attitude
in the control Of these ineursions, by mill
taFy mOYements across the border, not i'm
peratively demanded for the protection Of
the lives and property Of our citizens, I
shall rake the earliest opportunity, con-
sistent with the proper discharge of this
plain duty, to recognize the ability Of the
Mexican Government to restrain effectively
violations Of pul territory. 1t is proposed
to hold next year an International Exhibi-
ton in Mexico, and it is believed that the
display Of the agricultural and manufac-
turing products Of the two nations will
tend to better understanding and increased
