DOCKING HORSES TAILS.-"Ill bet
my money on the bOb-tail horse -
quoth the old song but we should
rather bet u money on Mr.. Henry
Bergh, President Of New York "socie-
ty for the Prevention of cruelty to
animals" who has raised a good deal
OF excitement by arresting. August
Belmonts trainer for the offence Or
docking the tail of a polo pony. Al
the New York livery-men. and many
veterinary surgeons. are enraged
against Mr.. Bergh. and declare II silly
in him To interfere with a practice
which fashion demands. But the

To the Helpless replies sharply, stating
a lamentahle truth that Of ali the DO
mestic animals in the service OF man.
none is so useful a. the horse. and none
has been 80 grossly abused. Perhaps
we might as well give Mr. Bergh's
own language, as follows:
1t is probable that no act Of dellber-
ate cruelty or other violation OF law
was ever vet committed without the
offender e~ndeavorlng to justify MN
self on some plea or preteNt or neces-
sitv. The ingenuity of these eVaslohs
OF law and responsibility sometimes
challenge our admiration, by reason
OF their art and originality, but 1t Is
not often that the ''bulldoZing expe-
dent. to use a modern phrase, l. car
ried TO the extent of pretending that
an important organ of animal organl-
cation should be cut off and oppressed,
because it otfends against the capri
cious ideas of fashion or the convent
| ence Of sporting men. 1t is a lamen-
table fact that of all the animals
which the beneficient creator has
bestowed on mankind, the horse, al
though the most useful, Is the most
| abused. AS if it We're no enough to
impose on him burdens. labor and prl-
vations disproportionate to his strength
and endurance. the ingenuity OF his
oppressors is directed toward the in
Fiction of cruelties which hav their
origin frequently in the ostentatlous
pride and pleasure of his owner ana
the culpable Incidence of his groom or
attendants. The barbarous check rein,
bit and binder. along with his I'M
natural organic alteration and chipping
off and singing of the hair which
Providence mercifully provides HIM
with for his protection against the ele-
ments are among the numerous evil
dences of the truth of that assertion.

A Touching Letter.
baltimore Bulletin,l

Every one knows the story of the little girl
who wishing to ask something of Heaven,
wrote a letter to God, which she put in the
hands Of the Virgins statute in the parish
church. A circumstance nearly analogous
has iust taken place near Marchicnnes, In
Belgium. A girl named Blanche was in the
service of Monsieur and Madame c., who
were much attached to her on account Of
her fidelity and piety. Some days ago,
Madame c. fell i'll and died very suddenly.
The day after her death, Blanche profting
by moment when the corpse, already pre-
pared for the grave. was alone. made her way
to the chamber of death, lifted the shroud.
aud then retired preciptately. Those who
saw her suspected she might have been try
ing to pilfer the jewelry Of the corpse. Search
was made and nothing was found missing,
but there was letter in the dead woman's
hand This being opened was discovered to
be letter from Blanche to her mother, dead
a long time before. 1t was as follows:
My Dear and Good 1fother-This is to let
You know that Mr.. r. has asked me to marrS
him; as you are no longer here, | beg you
will let me know, in n dream, if / ought to
marry him. and so give me your consent In
order to communicate with you | profit bv
the occasion OF Madam e. vino is going 70

This letter, which bore the superscription,

An elaborate series OF Measurements of hui
man legs has been made by DR.. J +. Wright,
Of Brooklyn. In the proceedings of the
Kings County Medical Society, the results Of
the investigation are very fully given. 1t APP
pears probable that not over one person In
three has legs of equal length, and that there
legn Of extra length. The average surSriorltv
Of Vne leg over the other is about quarter of
an inch, This inquiry arose from a discussion
as to the amount that limb may be expected
thigh The conclusion is, that the average
inequality of the limbs after good treatment
for such fracture IS about threequarters Of an
inch IT Is not clear how to utilize moral
which DIR, Wright draws from his ohserva-
tons, that II is Batter to break the left than
SIC right thigh but readers who propose to
break theiio legs should take this fact into
consideration.
