A Horse.

1t seems that the Sultan of Turkey
was not altogether ignorant of Gen
Grants weakness for horse flesh, and
when the ex-President was in Con-
stantinople, the Sultan gave him his
choice of all the animals in the impe-
rial stables. A correspondent tells
the story as follows:
"While Gen. Grant was in Constan-
tinopls the Sultan made him a gift of
beautiful horse. After his Turkish
Majesty had shown his palace and gar
dens to his guest, he conducted him TO
his stables. He ordered his best
horses to be put on exhibition. aud.
when they had been sufficiently ad
mired, he told the General to make
selection, taking the one which pleased
him most. At first the General could
not consent to it, and warmly protest
ed against the Sultan's generosity.
The Sultan's Minister of War, how
ever, interposed, informing General
Grant if he did not accept the gift his
Majesty would be much displeased.
The General thereupon selected dap
pie gray, superb in form, and having
a step that would light with admira-
tion the eye of any cavalier. The ca
parsons were brought out, and the
horse, in splendid attire, was formal
ly presented to Gen. Grant. The Sui
tan, at his own expense, has sent the
horse to Marseilles, whence he will
proceed to New York"

KECHI, HANS, May 6, 1873.
EDITOR EAGLE We may safely
report the advancement of crops in
this locality unprecedented within the
memory of the oldest settler. The tick
of the corn planter is hushed the cul-
tivator is tickling the soil, and wheat
was headed out ten days ago. The
bulk of corn-planted in March and
the first fifteen days in April--is a
good stand. The Dutchman and |
employed check rope, and find it
does excellent service when well man
aged. (Of course we did not manage
it ourselYes.) We had no hail in this
section, and the rain Wednesday night
was light. Thanks to the self-sacrifice
and the never ceasing efforts OF our
efficient Town Trustee, land some
others), we have, at last, bridge
across the middle branch of Chisholm,
and scores of teams are daily crossing
that bridge that wasn't needed"
can't tell your correspondent just
where she can find catalpa trees. Mr.
Hyde's were, learn, propagated from
the seed by hinself,-a limited guam
tity of which grew upon his four-year
old trees last season. His last years
product of seed, it seems, was divided
between Mr.. McCracken, himself and
myself Mr.. II. tells me his seed has
been up two weeks, and came good.
Mine, planted late, is not up yet. My
experience and observation among
the different kinds OF trees we have is
this: Cottonwood, Poplar and Balm
of-Gillead are the most cheaply propa-
gated from cuttings, grow rapidly,
make good shade, thlrd-rate fuel, and
are not worth the cost of working up
for fencing aud building purposes.
Hickory, Oak and Pecan, with me, are
just about failure. Box Elder and
Soft Maple make fair lire-wood, but
are not lasting for fencing, etc. have
Hickory trees three years old that have
been well cared for and are scarcely
one foot high. The average growth
of my Black Walnut, (of which | have
thousands), is over two feet per year.
But they grow so crooked and scrub
by, my neighbors often remark. Well,
an Illinois friend looking at mine last
spring, told me how to remedy this
crookedness. Said he, the spring they
are two years old cut with sharp in
strument close to the ground. Always
ready for experiment in a small way
[ forthwith treated half dozen or SO
to just that kind of a cutting. A half
dozen vigorous shoots came from each
stump. About the middle of June,
when two feet high, | reduced the
of those shoots to one from
each stump, and the growth for that
season was perfectly straight and |
about four feet. This spring they |
nave already added one foot of new
srowth from the tip straight up, and
Ter summer is over they bid fair to
become as large trees as those that
we're not cut. Having an acre patch
If two-year-olds this spring | am try
ne the experiment on larger scale,
nd have fclled the whole acre.
