The two horses presented to General Grant
by the Sultan Of Turkey, are described by q
correspondent of the Philadelphia Telegraph
One is a dappled gray of fair size, and having
all the traits characteristic of the Arabian
blood-small well-set, restless ears, wide pink
nostrils and large, soft eyes, waving name,
and long tail, reaching almost to the ground,
and a skin of such delicacy that the strike OF q
ladys whip is sufficient to draw blood The
other stallion has all these points. He is a
glossy black, with a white star on his forehead
and white hind feet. When the long forelock
falls over his forehead the large black eyes
have all the expression of Bedoun woman's
Their gait is perfect, be it either the rapid
walk, the long swinging trot, or the tireless
stretching gallop, while rein OF one thread of
silk is enough to guide their delicate mouth
Let one of these Arabs, in the mad rush of o
charge or fight, lose his rider and that instant
the docile steed vii stop as though turned into
stone. These two horses are Of the famous
Saktan race, the purest Arabian blood, only
found in and near Bagdad Exchange.
The Saktan race is not given among the
strains of thoroughbred Arabs, and Blunt
saws that the Turks do not value the thor
ough-breds much, as they prefer larger and
statelier animals. There are u hundred diff
ferent strains of thorough-breds among the
Arabians, all going back to the Kehilan
breed possessed by the Prophet; but Grants
horses do not appear to be from that stock.
The barley Arabian was from the best stock
the pure Kehilan, and the Godolphin Ara
bian from the Jilfan, Il less priced strain.
There is very pure strain, the Seglaivi, in
the royal stables of Italy. Grants horses
are undoubtedly fine animals with much
pure blood, but we shall apparently not
get the best Arabian thoroughbred blood
from them.
THE fusionist papers have much to say of
''the great French king spoken of in history,
who, with his army of 10000 men, marched
up the hill and then marched down again"
Ii these journals can spare time from their
endeayors to prove how the State govern
ment can be stolen without subjecting the
thieves to arrest for larceny, we would like
to know when this kingly hero of an ante
typical Kingfeld reigned?

BABY.S FIRST TOOTH.

Come look at the dainty darling,
As fresh as a new blown rose,
From the top Of bis head go golden.
To the dear little restless toes;
You can tell by the dancin. dimples,
BY the smiles that come AMI 20.
He is keeping a wonderful secret.
You'd give half your kingdom tc
know.
Now kiss him on tic cheek su1 fore
head.
And kiss him on lip and chin.
The little red mouth is hiding
The rarest Of pearls within.
All. sect when the lips in smiling
Have parted their tender red;
Do you SEQ the tiny white jewel.
Set deep in its coral bed
Now where are the sage reporters,
Who wait By hamlet aud hill.
To tell 10 the listening nation
The news Of its good or i'll?
Come weave with your idle gossip
This golden blossom Of truth -
Just half . year old this morning,
And one little pearly tooth!

we work one way and some another.
The main thing In all safe work, how
ever, Is to cut the bolt that connects the
lock with the bars. We generally go to
work upon the iron over this bolt, and
then by using the blow-pipe, we take
the temper out of the iron and then bore
and cut until we get through. Some
safes are being made now that have
double row of plates over the bolt, and
that bothers us, for it takes more time.
Is there any safe you cannot break
openY
None, If we only have the time and
safe-makers now will only warrant their
safes to stand burglars for certain
number of hours.

A Praying Parrot.

Captain James Etchberger vouches
for the following bird story told in the
Baltimore News": About thirty years
ago, when in Honduras, in command of
the bark ELdorddo, his wife, accom-
panying him, was presented with par
rot, sprightly bird and a fluent dis
courser in the Spanish language. The
bird was brought to Baltimore, where,
when domiciled in the house of the
captain, it soon acquired knowledge of
English. The next door neighbor of
the captain was garrulous woman-an
incessant scold-forever quarreling with
some one or something. Polly, being
allowed full liberty, was pleased to take
an airing on the yard fence, and in
short time had learned to mimic the
scolding neighbor to perfection, and
finally became aggressive. The bird not
infrequently rued its impertinence by
being knocked off the fence with a
broomstick- This brought forth a tor
rent of abuse from his injured feelings
upon the head of its assailant. Finally
the birds language became SO abusive
that the captain was obliged to send it
away, and Polly was transferred to a
good Christian family in the country.
where In the course of time it reformed,
and became to some extent a bird of
edifying piety. Some time ago, while it
was summing itself In the garden, large
hawk swooped down and bore the dis
tressful parrot off as prize. Its recent
training came to its assistance, as ut the
top of its voice it shrieked, 80 Lord.
save me o Lord, save me ~ The hawk
became so terrified at the unexpected
cry, that he dropped his intended din
ner and scared away in the distance.
Polly still survives the attempted abduc-

and In a short time he was safe from
pursuit. -
1t having become known that Fed
eral scout was about, every effort was
made to intercept and capture him.
Twice he ran against patrols and was
fired on, and again horseman jumped
right over him as he crouched behind a
log. Even when only mile from camp
he ran into the arms Of bush-wbacker,
and while the latter was left dead in the
bushes, Dave entered camp with bullet
imbedded In his shoulder, but walking
bravely and bearing pews greatly de-

Wooden Shoe Makers.

Let us describe party of wooden shoe
makers, or as they are termed, sdbotiers,
at work near clear stream. The whole
family is together; the father with his
son and son-in-law, the apprentices, the
mother and children running about in
the beds of cress. Under the trees risesa
hut of planks, where all sleep, not far
off the two mules which carry the be-
longings of the encampment are tether-
ed. They are birds of passage, travers-
ing the forest and sojourning where the
wood is cheap. In this green combe sew
eral fine beech trees are marked for the
ak; they are fifty feet high and three feet
in girth. Each will probably give six
dozen pairs wooden shoes. Other kinds
of wood are spongy and soon penetrated
with damp; but the beech sabois are
light, of a close grain, and keep the feet
dry in spite of snow and mud; and in
this respect are greatly superior, to leath-
er. All is animation. The men cut
down the trees the trunk is sawn into
lengths, and if the pieces prove too
lesA6O OhCy dlO utNlOCQ intO QudILtISs
The first workman fashions the sa6ot
roughly with hatchet, taking care to
give the bend for the right and left; the
second takes it in hand, pierces the holes
for the interior, and scoops the wood out
with an instrument called the cutler.
The third is the artist of the company
it is his work to finish and polish it
carving rose or primrose upon the top.
if it be for the fair sex. Sometimes he
cuts an open border round the edge, SO
that the blue or white stocking may be
shown by coquetish girl. AS they are
finished, they are placed in rows under
the white shavings; twice a week the ap-
prentice exposes them to a fire, which
smokes and hardens the wood, giving it
warm, golden-brown hue. The largest
sizes are cut from the lowest part of the
bole, to cover the workman's feet who is
out in rain from morning to night. The
middle part is for the busy house
wife who is treading the wash-house,
the dairy, or stands beside the village
fountain. Next comes those of the little
shepherd who wanders all day long with
his flock, and still smaller ones for the
school boy Those for the babies have
the happiest lot; they are seldom worn
out. AS the foot grows, the mother
keeps the little so5ots in corner of her
cupboard beside the baptismal robe.-
Long after, when the child has becomea a
man, and his chair is vacated by the
hearth, they are drawn out to be looked
at, sometimes with smile, too often
with tears. During all his toll the
workman talks and sings he is not
taciturn, like the charcoal bnrner; his
muscles continually in action, his work
in the open air, keep him in good tenn
per, and giving him refreshing sleep
and appetite. He sings like linnet,
while the women chatter and mend the
family garments. When the trees have
all been cut up, the camp is raised, the
mules are loaded, adieu to the green hol-
low, and another place is sought for.

Trance Poetrn.

An sstimable Australian correspond
ent objects TO our somewhat sweeping
OF the sO-caIIed "trauce
poetry" extemporiZed by trance sneak
ers. Such eXtemporization is not un-
common. We have friend who has
eXtemporized some quite noble verses
in his sleep; but he hever claimed that
he was spiritually aided. Coleridge tells
US he extemporized his poem Of Kubla
Khan in his sleep; and we would like TO
see the trance poetry that eau equal il.
Now, with not more than two OF three
exceptions, the trance speakes who have
undertaken to extern poriZe i'm verse
have given rs very poor stuff indeed.
Considering the impTOmptu character of
the trance poetry, cur correspondent
doubts u any OF our living poets could
on the spur Of the moment DO as we'll.
This may be; one man may rattle of
di7jointed nonsense much more flueutly
than another; but il will be nonsense
still, and we do not see why the fact Of
its being impromtu should make it in
the least remarkable or acceptable. Our
correspondent says: "NIuch trash is to
be expected, both in the lectures and
the poems; but is it prudent to denounce
them all in such uumeasured terms?"
We reply TO our friend: Yes; il is prn-
dent, ecause il is just. Trash j. trash.
even IL it come from the Spirit-world
and We, il we esteem IL trash, ought
20 denounce IL as such. One great
reason why hardly five per cent Of the
spiritual communications are good
earnest, and truthful, is because Spir.
itualists have eagerly accepted much
worthless stuff from its being labeled
spiritual. How can We expect great
and pure spirits to communicate, II we
are so stupid In discriminating? We
have had enough of trash. Let US put
ourselves in the receptive position 10 get
something better. II the poetry really
comes from a spirit, why can he not
occasionally put little good work into
his poem instead OF having il impromp-
tu IL would have great effect in caus-
ing his spiritual claims to be recognized;
and we hope the controls will con-
slider the mattsr.-Religio Philosophical
