II Englishmen should ever take to embalming

holds III English song and story, they would
pass by the Dull, and swathe the defunct horse
In muslin and spices. For II the horse be not a
god In England, at least the cult of the horse Is
sort OF religion. There are tens OF thousands
or English gentlemen who have horse on their
minds during the greater part of their waking
hours. The condition or the animals: their
grooming; the cut OF their tails and names; the
way In which they stand, or STEP or stride; the
lashlon OF their harness; the build, the look
the dress, OF coachman and grOOm,-these are
matters to them OF deep concern, of uneasy
anxiety. And this is so not once a year, or
once quarter. or once month, but every
indeed, that they ride or drive. Nor do mean
only those who are called '.horsey'' men, gen

friends and rivals, the 1neffable air of solemn

THE GERMAN ARMY.-A German military

actual strength of the German army. On April

forces, 293 020; and the garrison troops, 125 S34
Altogether, therefore, In the event OF a general

however, large as It is, does not represent the

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, d. c., August II, 1880.
Year by year this city, as the Capital of
great and growing country, becomes of more
and more Importance. To say nothing of the
great increase of pop ulation and wealth as an
immediate consequence of the war, there are
boards and Commissions of scientific, business,
and other character created at every session,
with headquarters here. These indirectly add
to our permanent population and prosperity.
The mis-named " Congressional Llbrary''-it
should be the Library of the United States''-
also, and for a similar reason, brings us very
many receipts. Most of this gain is due to the
fact that Washington is the capitol of the
country, but our excellent climate and the
unsurpassed location of the city, have their
favorable influence also. l expect to see
Washington, in the next twenty years, city
as much in advance ofits present condition as
1t now Is of what 1t was prior to the war, and
that will make it, beyond question, the first
city on earth.
One interesting question was decided yester-
day by the first Comptroller of the Treasury.
A U. s. draft, sent out to an attorney in Ten
nessee, had been taken from the attorney
under order from the State Court, the intention
being to secure its endorsement and payment
by others than the owner or attorney. The
decision of the Comptroller is that only the
owner or his duly authorized attorney can cash
the draft. II the original owner-the party in
whose name 1t drawn, has died, or otherwise
become incapable of acting, the papers must
be returned to the U. 8. Treasury, and new
claim made to the proper representatives, and
a new draft Issued.

Why They Moved.

A party of young men went from
New York, recently, to the wilds of
Potter county, this State, to enjoy a
season of camping out. They erected
their tent, made fire in front of 1t to
keep away the mosquitoes, and lay
down for the night to sleep. Being
awakened in the night by an unusual
noise, one of the young men looked out
of the tent, and saw the fire surrounded
by rattlesnakes. The party took their
clubs, sailed forth and attacked the
rattling intruders, killing twenty-six of
them, whose united length was seventy
eight feet. 1t is scarcely necessary to
say that their first work in the morning
was to "fold their tent like the Arab
and silently steal away" from that par
ticular locality.

THE TIMES, NEW BlooMF1ELD. PA. AUGUST il. 1880.

The conundrum why Senator Conkllng staid
away from the New York Republican confer
ence has not yet been solved. One report has
IL that he absented himself because of Gar
fields inability TO carry out contract to dis
place Merritt from the Custom House. On
the other hand, II has been limited that Conk-
ling absented himself as matter of policy, In
order to do away with the idea that there was
any dlckerlng on hand between him and Gar
fleldJ GenRal Arthur is authority for the
assurance that In two or three weeks from this
time there will be no occasion to complain
that the campaign is languIshing in New
York, nor that Senator Conkling is continuing
his police of mastery inactivity.
At Boston's coming two hundred and aftieth
anniversary 1t s expected that both Hancock
and Garfield will be present, and II is part OF
the programe that they shall ride In a barouche
together in the great procession. They will

A Terrible Fall.

James P. Wills, a painter, while en-
gagged in painting the roof of the Globe
Hotel, Altoona, met with frightful
death Wednesday morning. After fin
ishing his work he, in a playful, not to
say foolhardy, manner began jumping
from the roof of the main building to
the roof of another wing running par
allel with it, between which there is an
intervening space of about five feet He
had successfully accomplished the feat
twice, against which his employer, Mr..
J. HI. Bergstresser, who is also Wills
brother-in-law, strongly demonstrated,
but he was deaf to all advice and warn
ing, and remarked that he was not at all
afraid of the undertaking. On the third
attempt he slipped on the comb roofing
of the western wing, and fell distance
of fifty-four feet, striking on the plank
flooring between the two buildings. His
head was shockingly crushed in, and he
expired almost instantly. Tribune.

Cutting a Mans Throat to Save His Life.

The Harrisburg Telegraph says The
necessity of prompt action in an em er-
gency when one is confronted by sudden
danger was never so forcibly illustrated
as in this city yesterday. From gen.
tleman who witnessed the affair we
learned the following facts: DIR. Eckart
of Rockville and lady were driving up
Third Street about o'clock on the way
home. When near Pine St., DIR. Eckart
was suddenly seized with fit of an
exceedingly violent nature. His strug-
giles greatly alarmed his lady companion,
and she called loudly for help. Seeing
DIR. H. l.. Stickel on the pavement she
called him, and the Doetot promptly re-
sponded, assisting to lift the now uncon-
seious man out of the carriage to the
pavement. DIR. Strickel turned the
sufferer on his face that the substance
which was choking him might flow
from his throat but it did no good. He
then tried to expel it with his finger,
and was equally unsuccessful. BY this
time DIR. Eckart had grown black in the
face and his pulse had almost stopped.
1t was a case of life or death, and unless
prompt and heroic measures were taken
the man could live but few minutes at
the farthest. Whipping out his penknife
DR.. Strickel plugged it into the epileptic's
throat, cutting small incision, through
which the air rushed. The man began
to recover Immediately. and in short
time was able to be removed to DIR.
Sellers office, where he recovered suffi-
GENTLY to be taken home. DR.. Eckart
stated that this is the first attack of epi.
lepsey he has had in two years. 1t was
certainly marrow escape for him, and
no man could tread much closer to the
confines of the other world and come
back to life again. DIR. Strickel's pres
ence of mind and promptness saved his
fellow practitioner.
