Norman and Percheron Horses.

There has probably been no stock of horses
imported from the old world that so entirely
meets the wants OF Transfers, farmers and
draymen as the PercheroB. While posses
sing weight, perfection of muscular develop
ment and great beauty of form, they are at
the same time good travellers, many Of them
attaining TO three minute gait. Mr.. Sack
rider, the well known importer, has several
of these fine animals at the stable of Mr..
Pinkham, corner Of J2th and Webster Sts.,
Oakland, Cal. Those interested in the i'm
provement Of stock will do we'll to see them.
No finer animals have ever bean seen upon
this coast.

Prince Amadee, Duke of Aosta, ex-
King of Spain, is winning golden opin-
ions. A friend writes: II had be-
lieved him, on the faith of authorized
sayings, to be a disconsolate widower,
who could scarcely be dissuaded from
becoming monk, Prince half-crazed
with grief; but I found him full of fun
and sparkle, trimming over with life,
and very willing to enjoy any chance
happiness that might fall in his way"

Henry wa,terson, the editor-in.
chief Of the xou,svMIs Courier.Jour-

writes in this wise to his paper:
"While the South was toying with
the RIFLES on its shirt, and'twirllng its
gold-headed cane, New England was
fixing itself. 1t is now fixed IT is
finished 1t can afford to be COM
placent and hospitable. 1t is so. IT
is a growing pa.rician. 1t is the
South which is poor and yet refuses
to learn it's lesson; which dreamily
looks toward the West, when it ought
to give its days and nights to study
Of the methods CT patience, self. denial
and thrift which have made these
rocks to blossom like the rose, and in
less than century completely reversed
the relative positions of the sections.
In the meantime, / ought to say
that it is impossible to exaggerate the
hearty manliness of the genuine New
England man, or the fine, noble char
acteristics Of the real New England
woman, or to overrate the open.hand.
ed, genial hospitality which prevails
everywhere in this New England
country. What is it and why is it ?
II is, to begin on, robust health, and,
to end on, plenty OF money. The
man who is Strengthened cannot be
hospitable. You will observe that
don't dislike the Yankees, nor envy
them their prosperity. But, even if
did, I should not quarrel with them,
