Horses and the Horse Trade.

The number of horses in the United
States is estimated at 5000. 900, Illinois
ranking frs, in number; New York next
with over half a million; then Ohio,
Missouri, Pennsylvania, Texas, Iowa,
Indiana and Kentucky. The number Of
horses in the New England States is
estimated ut 100000. Maine having the
largest number, and Massachusetts next.
The farm or workhorses Of Maine and
Vermont are noted throughout the land
The farmer who breeds horses knows
his own interest well enough to study
the tastes of the community, and to
breed up to them. Speed is, to be sure,
only one of the many qualities which are
essential To good roadster, and size,
style, action, temper, form. constitution,
and enduring qualities are equally i'm
portant in making general estimate
of The character of horses. The horses
raised in Maine are, generally sneak
ing, fine specimens Of the equine race
So are those imported from Vermont
and Canada. the latter having peculi-
arities Of their own quite distinct from
the thorough New England animal
The weight Of coed roadster may vary
from $50 To l ,0o0pounds. For ordinary
purposes on the road and for general
work an old horse dealer tells us that
900 pounds is heavy enough A
larger sized horse would not be found
serviceable in horse-cars, omnibases, or
hacks. and certainly net in the buggy
or light carriage. A heavy horse will
not last so long over the hard pavements
of the city As medium-sized one. The
practice now conforms to this rule. We
believe. As strangers especially will no.

Perhaps the most valuable result of all
education is the ability to make your
self do the thing you have to do, when
1t ought To be done, whether You like it
or NOt; il is the first lesson that ought
10 be learned; and, however early
mans training begins, it is probable the
last lesson that he learns thoroughly.
There is another reason to which |
have already adverted, and which would
reiterate, why any exien;ion of the time
devoted To ordinary school-work is tf',-
desirable. In the newly awakened zeal
for education, We run some risk of for
getting the truth that, while under-in-
struction is a bad thing, over-instruction
may possibly be worse.
Success in any kind of practical life
is not dependent solely, or indeed chiefly,
upon knowledge. Even in the learned
professions knowledge, alone, is of less
consequence than people are apt to sup
pose. And, if much expenditure of
bodily energy is involved in the DAYS
work, mere knowledge is Of still less
importance when weighed agains, the
probable cost Of its requirement. To
do fair days work with his hands,
man needs. above all things, health,
strength and the patience and cheerful
ness which, if they do not always ac-
company these blessings, can hardly in
the nature of things exist without
them; to which we must add honesty
of purpose and pride in doing what is
done well.-Prof. Hurley, in Popular
Science Monthly.

London reports Of the 9th had more
wariike aspect. Lord Napier Of Magdala,
Governor Of Gibraltar, arrived and had 4
long conference with the Duke of Cam
bridge, Commander. in Chief Of the forces.
The afternoon papers announced promi-
| nently that 1t had been decided to employ
Lord Napier as Commander-in-Chief of
any expeditionary force that may be
sent out in case OF war, with
Majer- General Wolseley as Chief of STAFF.
The Standard, in its leading article, says:
"All that is really implied by the selection
Of Lord Napier of Magdala as Commander
in Chief, and Sir Garnet Wolseley As his
Chief of Staff, is that the terms of peace, if
unmOdified, can not be sanctioned by Eng
land. We have been brought face to face
with war by the arrogant and aggressive
conduct of Russia"
A Berlin dispatch reports Germany is
preparing to .epd eight iron-clads to the
Mediterranean in the event Of war. A
Vienna dispatch says that the Government
has asked for a credit Of 100000 forms.
There was considerable opposition to the
proposal.
Turkey is required 10 pay to Russia an in
demnity that amounts to just about $780,
0O0, 900, and an additional 500, 900, 600 in
bonds; or, in all, 81 900 100000. This is the
amount Of the money indemnity that Ger
many obtained from France after the war Of
1s7O-1l; and it looks as though
Russia, IN arranging the BUSH
ness had taken her cue from
Germany. But France could pay the in
demnity, and did pay it, while Turkey is too
hard up to pay any part Of it. So Russia
has required Turkey to cede certain terrific
ry and fortresses, and to turn over tre reve-
nues derived from her tributaries and
mines.
1t was reported on the lst that the Porte
was fully prepared TO sign the treaty OF
peace, with the exception OF the clause pro-
viding for the surrender to Russia Of the
iron-clads. Hence the delay. A telegram
from the Turkish Minister of War orders
the Governor of the Dardanelles to prevent
any more men-of.war, whether British,
French or Austrian, from entering the Sea
Of Marmora.

Of the treaty of peace was promulgated on

Louisiana Returning Board, was sentenced
on the 18th TO two years Imprisonment at
hard labor i'm the Peritentiary. Previous to
passing sentence, in answer to the usual in
terrogatory of the Court if he had any thing
to say, Anderson said that he considered his
case cruel persecution under the form OF
law, but that he was in the power
of the Court and ready 10 receive SEN
tence. Judge Whitaker answered that the
accused had had fair trial before an i'm
partial jury, and that the verdict was fully
justified by the evidence. He then sentenced
Anderson, in consequence OF the recon-
mendation Of the jury to the mercy OF the
Court, TO the lowest term under the law
