How TO Buy A II asE.-An intending
purchaser should have the horse brought
out before him, and watch the animal as he
stands at rest IF the owner is continually
starting the horse into motion, and urging
nlm to 'show off" something may be sus-
2ected, because it is when the horse is at
perfect rest that his weak points are di-
vulged If the horse be sound, he will
stand square on his limbs, without moving
any o, them, the feet being placed fat upon
the ground, and all his legs plumb, and nat
urally poised. If one foot be thrown for
ward, and the toe pointing to the ground,
and the heel raised or if the foot be lifted
from the ground, and the weight taken off
1t, disease or tenderness may be suspected.

The debate continued at great length
Mr.. Blackburn, on the question of the ;lleg-
ed disloyalty of the Southern seminaries,
asked who had shed lustre on American
arms before the war broke out; who had
not been graduate of West Point and had
not then learned (from Rowle's Commenta-
ries on the Constitution every thing that
he ever knew of the limitations of the Con-
stitution That "hornbook of the nation"
was certaily the most advanced advocate of
the right of secession. He entered his
protest against the injustice done to the
South in imputing to it any responsibility
for these war claims. The South did not
ask for the pensioning of her soldiers
She had staked her all on her convictions
and had Nstsse She $had net iained,
and never in the future would complain
She bore her losses, and simply protested
that it was neither generous, nor kind, nor
manly, nor merciful to drag her into this
question, and TO make her tho football of
the passions of men who seemed to have at
heart the serving of partisan purposes rath-
er than the advancement of common good.
Applause on the Democratic side
Mr.. Reagan, of Texas, expressed the
wish that some means should be adopted
either to wholly exclude all such claims, or
refer them all to a tribunal where they
could be passed upon on their merits. He
regretted that his friends on the Democratic
side should have allowed themselves to be
placed in the attitude of favoring claims
for which they had no sympathy. With
out action on the bill the committee rose
and the House took recess till P. NJ.

Cosman only was on deck, the other four
being below. Captain Hursey and Chief
Officer Foot and the cook came on deck as
she turned over. The survivors then sue
ceeded in getting on the side of the vessel,
the cook fell off exhausted after three hours.
The captain succumbed to the exposure
and fatigue after holding on until after
8 o'clock in the morning. The vessel finally,
by the action of the waves and being full
of water, righted herself. Foot aud Cosmau
managed, with great difficulty, to make
their way once more to the vessels deck
They laid planks on the windlass and water
barrels, which served as their bed and rest
ing place for three days, expecting every
moment that the vessel would sink beneath
them. Oh the fourth day barrel of ap-
Piles foated from the fore hold, which, they
succeeded in captuaing. The apples were
saturated with salt, and caused the poor
fellows most intense thirst. They also OBJ
tained box of salt mackerel, which they
greedily devoured. One day before they
were rescued barrel of -four foated out
from the hold, and they made dough of q
portion of its contents, but heavy sea
springins up, wave washed it away. o.:
January 10Th, while the wind was piercingiy
cold, and the sun was about going down,
the wreck and the unhappy men as they
were floating on were seen by the Spanish
brig Dorotea, which bore down upon them.
Soon they came alongside AMI rescued the
survivors, who were hoping for death to
come to their relief. When the Spaniards
took them off they had only seven apples
left. They were in such an emaciated
condition that they had to be lifted from

themselves to prevent being washed off.
