TaW resey's Wooden Horse.

Hundreds of people stop daily to view
Tawresey's wooden horse at the sonth-
west corner of Fourth and King streets.
The device is one of Tawresey's own,
and when covered with blankets and
harness the deception is complete. A
change of harness from time to time
adds interest TIE horse mods his
head every time he is pattpd on the
neck, and drops his left ear when in a
bad hurnor. Though he is left out in
the sunshine and storm, Emily Webb
has made no complaint. Everybody
should stop and look at Tswresey's s
horse and then step inside and see the
fine harness.

10 DO and What Not to DO.
Published by Request.
Speaking on this subject, Zion S
Herald editorially remarks: "We are
sent as ministers for the salvation OF
the people. Some men seem to think
they are commissioned simply to purge
the Churches. Their first and princi-
pal work is to put down any conspicu-
Gus men and women who do not at once
yield their judgements to the views Of
the new minister. They have plans of
their own. They do not ask any ad
vice about preaching, or running
prayer meetings" Ii any persons
have other notions, it is all the worse
for them. They ara accustomed to
work on their own lines, and every body
must "look ont for the engine when
the bell rings!" They pride themselves
upon bearing about the scalps of many
leading men in the societies where they
have here to-fore been. They magnify
the priestly office, and desire the lay
men to attend simply to their own du
ties. Now the result almost inevitably
is that, nine cases ont of ten, the liar
mony of Church is broken up and its
temporal and spiritual prosperity per
illed by such course. We are to save
men, not to destroy them; to learn
their pecuiarities; to meet them where
they are, and by Christian courtesy and
taithfslness to gradually shape them
into such characters as we would have
them bear. 1t is comparatively
short and easy work to denounce, dis
courage and drive away from the
! Church: it is a Christ-like office to bear
with them, suffer patiently from them,
and win them, by Gods grace, to their
own salvation.

GEN. CADM.s NJ. WILCOX.
Tho Dtstiug utsheG Messenger OF
the House.

A special despatch from Washington
to the Cincinnati Commercial says ::
ga noted Confederate General has
lately been appointed to a messengers
place in the Senate, at salary OF
81 ,440 per annum. This is none other
than Cadulus NJ. Wilcox, formerly a
Major General in the Confederate ser
vice, the friend and companion of Lee.
graduate Of West Point, a gallant
record IN Mexico is inscribed against
his name. General Wilcox is Tennes,
seeau, and was appointed by James X.
Polk to West Point in 1872. lmme-
dat-ly upon graduating he went to
Mexico as a Lieutenant, and ser7ed with
distinction. On the 7th of June. 1861 ,
he was stationed in Arizona, and that
day received by the same mail news
that Tennessee had seeded, and also a
letter from General scott ordering him
to r. part at Washington at once.
Wilcox was not a secesslonlSt, but
he thought mis- duty was with his
State, ana he resigned and r.turned to
Teunpssee. In October following he
was made Brigaiier General in the
Southern army, and served in Virginia.
He fought at Gaines Mill and Frazier's
Farm, commanding a brigade of l,S0o
men, ont of which he lost l,055, the
heaviest per cent. OF loss of any bri-
gade in Lees army. At Gettysburg it
was General Wilcox, who, reporting a
disaster to his brigade to Lee, received
the memorable reply: "Neger mind,
General; this is all my fault, and you
Young men must help me out of it,
Colonel Freemantle, a British officer,
was near Lee at the time, and after
ward wrote an account of it, in which
he refers to Wilcox as General wear
ing short, round jacket and much
battered straw hat In August 1868,
Wilcox was made Major General, and
commanded five brigades.
At the final surrender, Wilcox and
Sheridan were the first general officers
to meet. They were both on the skir-
mish line, and, learning through flag
of truce that Lee and Grant were in
correspondence, Sheridan said to Will,
COX: ''If this is true, We should arrest
this affair at once, and have no more
people hurt" This ended the last
fight of Lees army.
The fact that the Senate officials bad
no better place to give G9leral Wilcox
than messengership shows that they
haven't Offices enough to go round.

Another Victim.

William Nathans, another of the in.
jurel by the Stanton shaft disaster, at
Wilkesbarre, died yesterday. In
mense quantities of black damp issue
from the mouth of the mine, iDdica
ting THAT the fire covers large area in
its depths. 1t is predicted that when
water with which the mine is being
flooded rises high enough to shut off
the air, tremendous explosion will
take place. The water is now ten feet
deep; it will probably be necessary
to food the mine to a depth of 300 feet
in order to extinguish the fire.

tory BusinesS-Ihe Last Call"
The canvass for the new City Direc-
tory for lS79-S0, is now complete, and
the printing, which is already begun,
will be pushed as fast as possible. Fer
ris Bros, the publishers, say that the
canvass has this year been done more
systematically and carefully than ever
before, and they believe the Directory
will be more nearly correct than any
previous issue. Few people have any
idea of the difficulties which are en-
counte in compiling a Directory, and
many would be surprised to learn that
quite number actually refused to give
the canvassers the necessary informa-
tion, and that they are compelled to re-
sort to many subterfuges to obtain it.
The difficulties of the canvassers are
also much increased by having to deal
with children, or with thick headed
servants, who have no more idea of the
way to spell their employers name
than they have of the location Of Pata-
gonia. In spite of these difficulties,
however, the canvass has been careful
and complete. An annual directory is
such necessity to business men, that
it should be largely patronized in order
to insure it' regular publication every
spring, as it is of course unnecessary to
say that it will be continued only so
long as it pays.
The excellent reputation which it en-
joys under Ferris, Bros management
as a reliable book of reference, and its
incessant daily use by business men,
make the limited number of advertising
cards presented in its pages very valu-
able.
The canvass being now complete, the
publishers request all who have not
had an opportunity to subscribe or to
advertise, to leave their names at the
office No. 10 East Third street, at once.
The subscription price is $500; the
price after publication will be $3.50,
and only very small number in ex-
cess of those actually subscribed for,
will be printed.

American Horses in Europe.

The business Of exporting horses, so sue
cesstully begun in this countrE, fortunately
meets with favor in England. The follow
ing remarks from the English Live Sturk
Journal" may be both Interesting and in
structlve, as pointing out neede improve
tin our stock of horses, and one which
has frequently been enj oined by the Ameri-
can Agricuiturist. Our horses are too light
for much of the English heavy work. In
England, tools, aud vehicles are heavy and
clumsy, and require heavy animals to move
them. English riders too, are iu general
more corpuleut than Americans, and sad.
die horse needed for that country, must have
stoutlimbs,str back and shoulders; points
which have been neglected in the breeding
of our trntting or road horses. Our road
horses are unexcelled. Our English con
temporary has the following to say on this
question "Of late considerable trade has
been done in importing horses from the
United States and Canada. The North

ported more than a thousand. There were
pairs well worth $3.50 to dealer, but they
have not weight enough for teamwork, and
are being superseded by the French horse of
the class so largely used for the last five years
by the London Omnibus Company. Unless
the recent fall in prices stops the trade, the
United Stles will send us a e eat many high
class horses-of the slrt of Yorkshire used to

Mr.. Shea explained that the hard times
had reduced the price Of "perscriptions" OF
that kind, and that they were now dull in
the market at 80 cents perscript
This was all o. X. The applicant for
matrimonial bliss investigated the recesses
of his pocket, and brought to the surface a
shining silver half dollar, which he forked
over in exchange for the license.
"Dnts what calls dog cheap" murmur-
cd the gentleCarrie, who during the colloquy
had been picking little pieces of plasteriug
out of the wall.

each other and embraced, while the Deputy,
embarrassed by the tender spectacle, con-
cealed his bushes behind newspaper
"Boss," continued the expectaut groom,
"de idee jist arrived in my head, mebbe yon
can jne us and settle de whole business ?"
Mr.. Shea regretted that his official author
ity did not include solemnizing marriages.
But just then Esquire Slaughter sauntered
in.
ooh, here's just the man. The Squire
can marry you according to the very latest
styles known to the law"
This was satisfactory the twain were
ranged before him aud Esquire Slaughter
proceeded TO lie the knot according TO the
Code, winding up with the solemn injunc-
ton, And what-GUd hatL-pu.- together let
norman put-asunder IS ceuts."
"Now, you understand, Charlie" added
the Squire, with a wink at Shea, 1--WE
will be compelled to detain your bride till
you pay up"
"No, sir-ree, boss" returned the groom.
"You cant fool dis chile wild dat sort. Dat
isn't pollymentary, at all.
Finally happy compromise was reached
on basis of 80 cents, aud the Squire ex-
tended congratulations, hoping they would
live long time in happiness and raise
large family of handsome children.
"Lawsy, Squire" calculated the blushing
bride as she and the blIssIul groom filed to-
ward the door, "we'se already got baby 5
months old"

theso they understand perfectly. But they
are the quickest people in the world tolearn
a new trade If It pays. They will learn to
pick out mares aud sires with riding shoul-

Their horses have size, quality, good temp =
