A HORSES ISTEzLsGESeE.


A very charming Illustration of an
animals intelligence is afforded IN
the perfermancesef ssNettie, "a beau
tiful trick-mare, that was recently
exhibited at the aquarium in New
York city. 4 six-barred gate-re
toy gate-but as high as a man's head,
is placed in the ring. A horse comes
running out and places himself aIong-
side and t. the gate. IS the word
Nettie goes around the areRa at a ter
rife pace, and takes both gate aud
horse in her wonderful stride. An
other horse comes oat and takes his
place by the side Of number one.
Nettie goes about the track once and
clears the gate ard both horses with q
single leap. A third horse comes cut
and takes his place by the ether two.
Nettie first walks up to the gate and
looks over it. It is really higher
than her head, as she naturally holds
1 it. what is she looking at? She is
counting the horses! Fact. Once
Nettie tried to jump over six horses,
failed and hurt herself. After that
she never could be persuaded tojump
if there were more than four, and no
art can make her try. She always
satisfies herself as to the number be
fore she leaps.

TAXING A HUSBAND ..orr snOPPnsG..

Can there be, in the whole civiIiz-
ed world, sight more really and af-
fectingly touching than that of an un-
fortunate husband entering a store
after his better half? Most fearful and
heart Kending Is that picture!. She,
full Of pride, and radiant with delight
at the thoughts of the entrancing silks
and rapturous satins within; In no
hurry, but perhaps dawGting on the
very threshold while making men,
tai calculation as to the number Of
yards she can tdo withD for the brin-
eesse robe, and whether she will have
that at 81 or persuade sssweet Viii
nam,o now she has etgot him thefe,t1
to let her have that 50, so. He, hid
ing his face, and trying to escape
recognition, and looking as much him
self as possible, all the while making
up his mind in a painfully feeble
manner that he s'Will not run to more
than so and so, ard inwardIy burst
ing with wrath at ttSusan making him
make such confounded show of him
self" Then, as they walk up the
the long emporium, in vain does he
try to appear at his ease, and return
the steady gaze ofthe fifty gentlemen
behind the counters, and all Of v HON
stare hard at him as if he were an ob.
jeet of the greatest curiosity, and per
ceptibly wink, as much as. to say,
s'What lark!' And then, as he sits
in fidgety agony on a rickety chair,
trying hard to look as if money was
no object to kim-as if he rather liked
his position than otherwise-ch, then,
l say ttwhat an afternoon he does
navel But when, at last, those beau
tifully soothing words, tsNothing else
to-day, thank you," fall on his eager
ears, then, as he bounds gayly from
his hard-bottomed chair, does he pre-
sent truly touching tableau, by the
side of which that of 1.-THE Liberated
Slave" is nowhere.

JOLLY DgEL.

The joIIiest duel ever recorded took
place in Lyons, France, the other day.
Two j urueyInen taiIers had quarrel
about the cut of pair Of trousers,
and it could only be settled by meet
ing on the field of honor. Seconds
were chosen and a meeting toek place
at six in the morning in the Tete d.
Or park. The principals had their
eyes bandaged and were placed hack
to back, each with pistol, loaded,
however, only with blank cartridge,
though each supposed it to be charg
ed with ball. At ths signal given
they turned and fired. One Of the
seconds cried cut 81 ana shitr' and
each combatant pulled off the bard
age from his eyes, expectingte TO see his
adversary fallen. The seconds and
witnesses were Tqaring with laught-
ter, and the duelfSts, seeing the joke,
rushed into one aAother's arms and
kissed in French fashion. The rseait
was a grand festival for all parties at
neighboring RESTAURANT.

CURING sHRRP-woRRTISG DOGs.

Land and Water gives a plan for cur
ing sheep-worrying dogs, which we
think may be more effectual with young
dogs than cid ones. It says "Wrap

much wool on it;around the dogs lower
Jaw, the wool outwards, and fasten it SO
that he cannot get rid Of it. Put this
en- him for a few times daily, and there
is chance that he will become as thor
oaghly disglsted as ever you could wish
with every animal of the race whose
coat furnishes such odious moVthfulsi
but prevention being better than cure,
pay great attention to your dogs NOR
ais during the lambing season. Dogs
nos led away by evil companionship
rarely commence their depredations up
on sober full, l,grown sheep. In ninety

temptation efrunning down some frisk

OF all love affairs in the world, none
can surpass the true love of a big boy
for his, mother. 1t is a true love and
neble, honorable in the highest degree
to both LIDO not mean merely duti-
full affection. / mean loye which
makes q boy gallant to his mother, say
ing plainlY to every one that he is fairly
in love with her. Next to the love of
her husband, nothing SO crowns q
women's life with honor as this second
love, this devotion of the son to her.
And | never yet knew a boy to 'turn
out" badly who began by falling in love
with his mother. Any man may fall in
love with q fresh-faced girl, and the
man who is gallant to the girl may
cruelty neglect the worn and weary
wife. But the big boy who is a lover
of his mother at middle age is a true
knight, who viii love his wife as much
in the serO-leaf autumn.as oe did in the
I.daiaied spring. There is nothing SC
beautifully chiyalrous as love of big
boy to his mother-BeriGh Green.

Luckr SPANISH BULL-FIcHrERa.

Spanish bull-fghtsrs find their
dangerous calling very lucrative pro-
fession. Thus the favorite matador of
Madrid, FranscuelO, possesses a for
tune of $4OO 900, a magnificent house,
and q wife considered the prettiest
woman In Madrid, and is a member
of one of the most aristocratic clubs
in the city. On the day of a bull
fight he sends messenger to his wife
after each of his performances in the
arena, the destruction of six bulls be-
ing his usual task, and twice he has
been brought home seriously injured.
Franscuelo took part in the late bull
fight before the King and Queen, and
his costume was literally covered with
diamonds. Most interest was felt,
however, in the amateur mstadors,
cavalry officers chosen by the differ.

A CENTENNtaL CELEBRATION.

About the only centennial celebration
this year is the one to take place along
the Susquehanna river. On the Sd of
July, 1873, the celebrated Wyoming
massacre took place and added a tragic
historical interest to the beautiful Wy
oming valley. Three hundred men,
women and children met sudden and
terrible death. Their fate has given to
literature poetical tributes from Camp
bell, Halleek and Mrs. Sigourney which
have rendered the fame of Wyoming
world wide. The celebration of the
events of 1878 will take place on the
Sd and 4th Of July next. A classic ode
hes been written for the opening song,
and will be rendered by 100 choirs, and
addresses, orations and poems commem-
orative of the event viii be delivered by
some of the leading literary men of the
land. The Committee of Arrangements
are actively engaged rebuilding the old
forts and huts along the Susquehanna,
so as to appear precisely as they did 100
years ago, and neither time nor expense
will be spared in making the celebra-
ton a crowning success. So as to
render the scene as realistic as possible,
the services of tribe of Indians prof.
fered by their chief-have been ac
cepted, and they will appear upon the
ground in their wild and picturesque
costumes. The proceedings of the Sd
of July will partake principally Of a
solemn character, consisting of com
memorative hymns and orations, and
on the Fourth there will be grand
procession, followed in the evening by
a display of fireworks, Illuminating the
Susquehanna river from Campbell,
Ledge to Nanticoke, distance o.
twenty miles, by line of boats burn
| ing tar barrels.
