A Coon HORSE. Wind, says an old
horseman, is the grand secret Of fast
horses. Good lungs will cover o multi
tude of faults, while, on the other hand,
perfection Of shape and form are use
less, when the wind is out. The chest,
therefore, in all cases, should be large
and capacious. 1t may vary somewhat
in shape, according TO tho service TO
which the horse is to be put If he is
apt to be kept for slow and heavy
drawing, the chest may DC nearly cir
cular in form, because this shape is one
Of strength and bulk to receive and
bear up against the pressure OF the
collar, while at the same time sufficient
room is secured for that expansion OF
the lungs caused by slow, regular
work. But if the chest is circular, let
II be at the Same time deep, or else the
lungs may bc crampeJ. A horse with
shallow chest is worthless for any
purpose. The rule then is For n
draught horse, circular but deep
chest but as you pass through the
different degrees of horses up to the
racer and trottor, the chest will in
crease in depth, compared to It's round
ness, until, for the highest rate Of speed
you must take a chest az deep as q
grey-hound's, and at the same time not
lacking in strength.

THE COMMUNIST LEADER.

The Philadelphia Record says ofhim
Kearney, the California Communist, il
he is a communist, appears to be man
of considerable natural ability and
force Of character. As sailor he
worked his way up from a position be.
fore the mast to tho post of mate of a
clipper ship at the early age of four
teen, and thence to the captaincy OF
one of the largest sailing vessels then
ahoat at the age OF nineteen. When
he quit the sea he went into the dray.
ing business at San Francisco, in which
he is said to have prospered 1t is
much to his credit that he has always
supported his widowed mother. EvI-
IDENTIFY he is a man Of pluck and nerve
and honest impulses, though the
strength of the latter has mpelled him
beyond the bonds of propriety in poll
tics. He is very extravagant and in
temperate in his denunciation of those
whom he opposes, particularly those
who have accumulated wealth. "Chin.
ESQ cheap labor" is another especial OBJ
ject Of his rough invectiye, and in as
sailing this in California he won great
applause, of course In Massachu-
setts, however, where Kcarney will
soon he addressing the workingmen,
he will not have the benefit of SO bit
ter a prejudice against Cinnamon and
will have to content himself with de-
nouncing the capitalists, mill-owners,
bankers and monopolists. Great pre-.
parations are being made for him in
Boston. A petition is now in circula-
ton in that city TO secure Faneuil Hall
for mass meeting to be held soon--
This hall was once shut against the
great Webster, but the chances are
that it will be opened for Kearney, who
comes to help Butler, o much smart
or" man than Webster ever was or
ever desired tc be- Butler will proba-
bly, coach Kearney and induce him to
omit his usual oaths and imprecations,
which would not be grateful to Boston
ears. Whether this Pacific agitator
will be able TO make any telling points
without profanity remains to be seen.
1t is to be feared that the English Ian.
guage will prove too weak for him
without the sulphurous adjectives he
is accustomed to employ. But, with
his strong feelings and rough force of
mind, backed by his pluck, be may
prove able to make speeches both pow
erful and decent. Evidently the peo-
pie Of the Club" are very anxious to
hear him, and we hope he will not dis
gust them by interlarding his orations
with wicked words and obscene allu-
sions. For Buffers sake, as well as
bis own, Kcarney should take high
moral ground in Massachusetts,.
