5th. next, for the purpose of naming a
candidate for Governor OF Tennessee,

England's Failing Revenue:
From the Pail Mall Gazette,

The Statist points out that the rev.
enue for the current financial year re-
ceived up to date ia EOS ,497 900, against
G67 ,597, 900 in the corresponding period
of last year, dminution of 60, 100, 900.
A falling off like this suggests that
there is something materially wrong
in the condition of the country, but
such a conclusion would be mistake.
The genulneness and strength OF the
present revival of trade are beyond
question. But if there is nothing
wrong in the condition of the
country, the effect on the
national finances must be serious.
Unless there is a great recovery in the
next few weeks, the addition of the
current financial year to the accumu-
lated deficit--even assuming no addi-
ton to the cost OF the Zulu war, and
that the Afghan war expenditure Is
wholly kept out--may be between
81 600, 900 and 100000. The govern
ment may say that, in strictness, there
is no deficit, as the Chancellor OF the
Exchequer pointed out to Leeds, the
charge for the debt including a large
sun for repayment; but the facts will
certainly be awkward for them in pop
ular estimation, unless there is great
turn for the better in the next few
weeks,

FARM AND GARDEN.

TEE SADDLE VERSUS THE HEBUGGY.--The
memory of man eXCendeth TO the day
when the boys on the farm were proud
to ride fine young horse to church or
to see the girls. They took pride In the
colts and taught them to move freely
under the saddle, and above all, when
the colt was broken he was taught to
walk. Now the boys must have fine
buggy and harness, AMI the colt must
show his style and speed ali the time.
The boy Is In too great hurry TO allow
the colt TO walk. The colt, buggy and
boy are soon a used-up set by fast driv-
ins. The whole business of buggy
riding by farmers boys Is expensive,
extravagant and demoralizine. Not
one farmer in ten can afford such Il
turnout for the lad. Many of them
buy buggy and let 1t stand in the sun
and storm. They are too poor to have
house for vehicles. Some men cannot
afford the luxury of buggy. If we
could return TO the fashion of riding
on horseback we would save millions TO
the farmers, and the boys and girls
would develop better forms and Lave
better health. Any lazy lOut can ride
in buggy, but to be a graceful rider
on horseback one must have some ener-
gy and get up in his nature. There is
life and health in riding on horseback.
The whole system feels the invigora-
ting effect of 1t. The rider and the
horse catch the fire of sympathy and
excitement in the run or fast PAGES,
and every nerve and muscle of the body
is brought into healthtul invigoratlng
play. The mania for trOtting horses
has been felt on every firm in the land.
The country Is full of road horses that
some man or boy loves to pull the string
on. They are usually poor saddlers,
slow walkers, and rough. We need a
reform. The place to begin is in breed
ing class of horses of good size, style
and action, that can move freely in
more than one gait. The English
market is open for such horses. The
well-knit horse of good style and ac-
ton, suitable for hunter or carriage,
Will bring better prices than our aver
age horse. The farmer will lind it TO
his interest to raise class of colts that
the boys will like TO ride. He can
raise three or four fine saddle colts for
what one buggy and harness Will cost
and fair saddle horse will bring more
than the average roadster.

The BastIle.

The Bastile of Paris, did not actually
become notorious as a State prison
until the reign of Louis MIL, AL
though high personages were confined
in 1t from time to time almost from Its
first existence--in fact, if tradition is
to be believed, the very noble who
built it by the Kings command was the
first one topine away in its deep recess
es. A lettre de Cdchet from the King was
all that was required to bring any one
there, and once their it was no easy
matter to get out, for nothing but an
ether order from the King would have
the least etfect-lt being TO the interest
Of the Governor to have as many pri-
soners AZ possible, as he was allowed so
much Per head, and the scale of prices
was very liberal-sO much so that the
post was looked upon as very fat
berth for any one who had no objection
to doing dirty work. Not only men
but women and children found their
way into the Bastile, so that there WAS
often a lack of accommodations. The
cells were all in the high round towers,
where a heavy iron grating and a pecu-
liar construction of the windows pre-
vented more than n modicum of the
daylight from entering. The dungeons
were slightly beneath the level of the
m0at, and narrow opening into the
ditch was all the provision for fresh
air and light. The foul odors, which
were all that the prisoner in one of
these could get as a substitute for fresh
air, soon broke down his health, and
unless he was ef a very robust consti-
tuition he did not live long. The build
ing had accommodation for fifty State
prisoners, but when its doors were
opened on the memorable 18th of July,
1879 only seven were found; among
them being a man who had been a
prisoner thirty years, and who had be-
came so weakened in his intellect dur
that time that he begged piteously TO be
the gloom and silence. Another had
been imprisoned when boy of eleven,
and though he was now long past mans
estate, neither he nor anybody seemed
to know why he was there. On the
wall were the records of others who
had passed long litetimes in those cells,
either for some real or imaginary trt-
vial offence. The BAstile was then to
the people of France a synonym of all
that was deSpotic, cruel and contemp-
tible in the government, and for this
reason it was razed TO the ground, and
consequently, no doubt, the Third Re-
public was selected the anniversary of
that deed for special honor.

Horse CheStnutS.

A couple of solid citizens of Phila-
delphia, Pa.,-solid in avoirdupois as
well as in their bank accounts-were
in horse-car day or two since, when
man came limping aboard apparently
suffering from rheumatism. One OF
the solid men remarked, "I've never
had twinge of rheumatism in my
life," and at the same time he took from
his pants pocket horse-chestnut, and
displayed it with an air that seemed 10
imply, "this is the little joker that did
the business" But no sooner had solid
citizen No. l displayed his chestnut
charm with contented air than sold
citizen No. also drew from his panta-
looms pocket hOrse-chestnut. Said
the first citizen: GIVE carried that for
thirty years." $50 have carried this
more than thirty years." replied the
other; 'but l don't carry mine for
rheumatism. / carry it for the gout. !"
A passenger who had been an inter esq d
listener to the foregoing, rather timidlS
asked one if he really believed there was
any virtue In simple horse-chestnut.
"NOl" answ cred the man. 'Then why
do you carry the thing about with
you?'' because it don't cost any
thing and can do no harm if it does no
good? ?" "It shows little superstition
though" Every well, l'll shoulder
it. In the meantime l shall keep on
carrying it. Ive carried it thirty years,
and have not been troubled with the
rheumatism, and / know of others who
can testify to the same good results"
Then the lame man who had got aboard
of the car and was the cause of this
episode, put his hand in his pocket and
drew out horse-chestnut,' and held it
up to the gaze Of the others. A ripple
Of laughter went up, and the two solid
citlzens who had pinned their faith to
the nut anticipated set-ba * from the
lame man. But the latter rema rked

Royal CoVetOusnesS.

The CoVetOuSneSS or greed OF royalty
may be considered as exemplified in the
case of the Prince of Wales. 1t reaches
a higher climax in the instance Of the
Duke of Cambridge, Queen Victoria's s
first cousin, who, besides accepting $780,
600 a year as a royal duke, with $40, 900
more to his mother ana two sisters,
holds several well salaried civil appoint
ments and draws $34 a day as Field
Marshal and $22 ,160 a year as Comman-
der of the Army. lie Is technically de-
Scribed as the General COmmander-in-
Chief" but, were he commissioner as
"COmmander-in-C Chief of the Army"
his pay would be double-:hat is, $44,-
320 instead of $22, 2,160. Had the late
Prince Albert, who knew nothing of
military matters, been appointed COM
mander-in chief on the retirement of
''The Iron Duke" as was proposee by
Victoria, the Prince Consort, who had
been nicknamed "The Feather Bed
Field Marshall" would have received
the double pay of forty-four thousand
dollars. This flagrant job, however,
had to be shelved. The Duke Of Cam
bridge, commanding the army, and
knowing better, of course, than any one
else his own value as a warrior, has
signed sheaf of commissions in success
sion, making himself fcolonel-in-chiefO of
five of the crack regiments in "Her
Majesty's Service"-lancers, hussars.
life guards, ,grenadiers and artillery. @ g
can imagine this stOu. gentleman, who
weighs 20 stone or $50 pounds, being in
battle with all his five regiments. How
lively his movements then should be
to command each and all of them. Only
Dan Rice or that scientific equestrian,
the late Monsieur DucrOw, who used to
ride half dozen horses in the circus at
one and the same time, could be COM
pared to this tremendous warrior. One
regiment is thankfully accepted by
genuine soldiers who have got to the
top of the roll by long and gallant SER
vice, but princes Of the blood royal as
sumo to stand Oh higher level than
these brave veterans, so the Duke Of
COnnaught, lately a Major, by very
rapid promotion, in a rifle battalion,
now is ColOnel-in- chief of a brigade,
consisting of four such regiments; the
Prince of Wales is Colonel thrice over,
and the Dnke of Cambridge has five
r giments. 1t seems as il of all these
scions of royalty ought to have their
names legibly writ upon the muster roll
of the rifles. No doubt this is the opin-
ion of John Bull.

EXACTLY WHAT Is WANTED AND
SOUGHT A FTER To find a safe, reli-
able, harmless, not repulsive remedy
that can be taken without interfering
with business or pleasure, or disOrga1-
izing the system, a simplS vegetable
compound assisting nature to get rid of
impurities in a gradual manner as ma
ture intended. Such is in Simmons
Liver Regulator, and the trial and use
is all that is necessary to prove this to
the most skeptical. Complete satiSfac-
tion is secured to every one, and GER
tainly it is a satisfaction to find the head
clear, the bowels regular, the blood
purified and the breath sweet. The
Regulator is so mild, so gentle, so harm
less, and does such world of good in
correcting the stomach, regulating the
bowels, and restoring the health, that
all that is necessary is to give it trial.

GREENHOUSE AND WINDOW PLANTS.
The pOtted plants that are TO stand
out Of doors should have partly shad-
ed place, and be provided with thick
layer Of coal ashes, TO prevent worms
from entering the pots below. The
plants in the greenhouse will need
shade, and this can be produced by
coating the glass with whitewash. 4.
Muslin screens will answer in small
houses. Water should be freely used,
and the houses provided with an abun-
dance of fresh air. FuchsIas will serve
co decorate verandas and like places,
otherwise they had best remain in the
greenhouse, Hanging baskets will
need frequent attention, and should be
plunged into tub of water and well
soaked at least twice week. 1t is SAT-
er TO keep all choice tropical plants in
che greenhouse than to run any risk
with them out ofdoors. Clear the house
of all insects, and make any repairs
necessary, while most of the plants are
out.

THE CoLT.--An abundant opportunity
for exercise in the fresh, pure air, un-
contaminated by stable OdOrS, is an alb
solute essential to a healthy develop
ment in all young animals. 1t is not
sufficient that the colt be led out at sta
ted intervals for exercise. He needs
the opportunity TO romp and play, that
he may extend his muscles TO the ut
most capacity. expand his lungs to the
very depths, and send the blood cOur-
sing through every vein with fiery vi
gor. All this is essential to a healthy
robust development of heart and lungs
and bone and muscle, and nowhere can
it be obtained in so great degree of
perfection as In the freedom Of the open
field. A colt that is kept i'll the stall
and fed highly on heating grains, Is
seldom afforded an opportunity for this
health-giving exercise. Like the ten
der hot-house plant he grows up def
cient in stamina and vigOr-a victim 10
his artificial surroun 1ings, which do
violence to every want OF his nature.
To the exhilaIating race in the fields
and pastures, which colts as well as
boys so heartily enjoy, he is a stranger,
and he grows up stiff, clumsy brute,
with only tithe of the development Of
lungs and other vital organs that he
might have possessed under more
favorable circumstances.
