Decency Toward Horses.

AHoRsE can not be screamed at and
cursed without becoming less valuable
in every particular. To reach the high
est degree of value the animal should be
perfectly gentle and always reliable, but
il it expects every moment that it is in
harness to be "jawed at and struck it
will be in q constant state of nervous
1ess, and in its excitement is liable,
through fear, to do something which is
not expected as to go along doing what
you started it to do. 1t is possible to
train q horse to be governed by the
word of mouth almost as completely as
it is to train child, and in such train
ing the horse reaches its highest value.
when horse is soothed by the gentle
words of his driver-and we have seen
him Gained down from great excite
ment by no other means-it may be
very fairly concluded that he is q valua-
BILE animal for practical purposes, and
it may be certainly concluded that the
man who has such power over him, is q
humane man and q sensible one. But
all this simply means that the man must
secure the animals confidence. Only in
exceptional instances is a horse stub
born or vicious. If he understands his
surroundings, and what is required of
him, he gives no trouble. As almost
every reader must know, If the animal
when frightened can be brought up to
the object he will become calm. The
reason is that he understands that there
is nothing to fear. So he must be
taught to have confidence in the man
who handles him, and then this power
full animal, which usually a man could
not handle, if it were disposed to be
vicious, will give no trouble. The very
best rule, therefore, which we would lay
down for the management of the horse,
is gentleness and good sense on the part
Of the driver. Bad drivers make bad
horses usually. Western Rural.

POLITICAL POINTS.
The bloody shirt has gone

The bloody shirt has gone to
wash.
John Logan is credited with the
remark that anybody can beat that
Campbelite preacher"
The Chicago Tribune thinks Lo-
gan could do a good stroke of business
by resigning from the United States
Senate so as to enable Governor Gull
lom to appoint Grant to the vacancy
thus occasioned. Logan thinks he sees
himself doing this.
The Republican organs not being
able to denounce General Hancock as a
''Copperhead'' are bringing against him
the serious charge that he is ''regu-
lar army officer. They are suddenly
seized with a remarkable admiration
for the volunteer service.
General Garfield's vote in Con-
gress is recorded in favor of the cele-
DRAFTED joint resolution signed by Abra-
ham Lincoln which expressed the
National gratitude to Major General
Winfield Scott Hancock "for gallant
and conspicuous share in the great and
decisive victory of Gettys burg"
General Sherman is quoted by
The Washington Star as saying that he
doesn't have anything to do with poll
tics. but if you viii sit down. he
added, land write the best thing that
can be put in language about Genera

him i've thousand dollars as contin-
gent fee for procuring contract,
which was itself made to depend upon
future appropriation by Congress
which appropriation could only come
from a committee of which he was
Chairman-was sale of official influ-
ence, which no veil can cover, against
the plainest principles of public policy.
No counselor at law while holding
high office (much less minister of the
gospel, etc. has right to put him
self in q position of temptation, and,
under pretense of making legal ar
gument, exert his official influence
upon public officers, dependent upon
his future action.
Certainly the courts of justice will
never lend themselves to enforce con-
tracts obtained by such influence"
The demurrer was overruled, the
pleas held to be good, and that the
contract was void as against public
policy.
All these matters appear by the rec
ords of the Circuit Court of Cook
County in case No. II, 181.

The Man With an Item.

SOME supposed friends of a newspaper
have peculiar ideas as to what kind of
items a paper really requires. Not long
since gentleman came into the Gal
weston NeUS sanctum and said:
"Look here! You miss heap of live
items. I'm on the streets all day; I'll
come up every once in while and post
you"
"All right, fetch on your items; but,
remember, we want news"
Next day he came up, beaming all
over.

know that Internal bow-legged gorilla

in business here with mep'

son." said the editor, YEARLY.
swell, I've just got news from Ne
braska, where he is living, that he is
going to run for the Legislature. Now,
just give him blast. Lift him out OF
his boots. Don't spare him on my ac-
count"
Next day he came up again. My
little item was crowded out. / brought
you some news" and he hands in an
item about his cat, as follows:
ga Remarkable Animal.-The family
cat of our worthy and distinguished
fellow-townsman Smith, who keeps the
boss grocery store of Ward No. Is (beer
always on tap), yesterday became the
mother of five singularly- marked kittens.
This is not the first time this unheard-of
event has taken place. We understand
Mr.. Smith is being favorably spoken of
as a candidate for Alderman.
The editor groans in his spirit as he
lights cigar with an effort. tits not
long before he hears that Smith is going
round saying that he has made the pa
per what it is, but it is not independent
enough for place like Galveston.
Many readers will say this sketch is
overdrawn, but thousands of editors all
over the country will lift up their right
hands to testify that they are personally
acquainted with the guilty party.
