The Demand for Heavy Horses.

FROM the chicago Times.
Duling the past fifteen years there has
bren a great change in the demand for
horses in this country. Formerly nearly
every one bred in relation to speed and en-
durance. Now large proportion of
farmers beed with a view Of increasing
size and strength. This change is not the
result of caprice. There has been a stead
lily increasing demand for heavy horses,
and a corresponding falling off in the de-
mand for light ones. Fashion has had
little to do in this matter. Heavy horses
are wanted because they supply an exist
ing want. From present appearances it
will be many years before the supply Of
heavy horses will equal the demand. The
country is now we'll supplied with horses,
At no time in its history, perhaps, were
there as many horses to given number Of
inhabitants as at present. Small work
horses are low, but heavy draft horses con.
tlnue to be high.
The importation Of Clydesdale and
Percheron- Norman horses increases every
year. The first that were brought over
were regarded as very uncertain ventures.
At present they are Of no doubtful value.
The importers of horses from France and
Scotland have suffered none of the reverses
Of the importers Of short horn cattle.
With rare exceptions they have become
rich, From present appearances we shall
soon be sending Clydesdales to Scotland
and England, and Normans to France and
Belgium. The value of heavy draft
horses was recognized in the old world be.
fore it was in the new. Now that their
worth is appreciated here, all persons hay
ing teaming 10 do seem anxious to procure
them. In this city the average size Of
horses appears to increase every season,
and the like is true in nearly every city in
the entire country.
Large horses are less liable to injuries
from the swinging of the poles Of wagons
than small ones. Their bones are frmcr,
and they are commonly more hardy. Lmge
horses are more economical as respects
harness, stall-room, feed and work required
TO take clrc of them. A large proportion
of the teaming now done is over short dis.
tances, and it is more important to draw q
large load than to make the trip quickly
Before the introduction Of the large draft
horses the teaming in the hilly and tim
bered portions of the country was chiefly
performed by oxen. Now oxen are being
superseded by heavy horses in all thest
sections. Persons travelling for business o.
pleasure now ride in cars instead of stages
There is still large demand for horses o
moderate size for drawing street cars, bu
breeding stage horses is business of tn,
past, In all the countries Of eastern Eu
rope heavy horses are taking the place o
light ones in general farming operations
That American farmers will soon gener
ally employ heavy horses in field worl
seems certain.

Britain at Constsntinople, has arrived at a

The membeE OF the Spanish Cortes
from the West Indies are so thoroughly dis

McVicker tells good story of Grant.
On the Monday following the Generals
arrival here it will be remembered that
McVicker's Theater was beautifully
decorated in honor of Grants visit to the
opera. The private box of the manager
was set apart for the distinguished guest,
and connecting Herewith was smoking
room, where between the acts the General
enjoyed his favorite cigar. The opera
was Max Maretzek's new production of
"Sleepy Hollow" and as it was the initial
performance, all concerned were particu-
larly anxious for its success.
When the opera was partially over,
and while Grant was putting away in the
smoking-room, waiting for the rise of the
curtain. McVicker thought he would get
an expression from his guest regarding
the merits of the production.
"He seems to talk easy enough" said
Mack to himself. "I'll see what he
thinks of the piece, anyway" So in hi.
quiet way he sauntered up to Grant and
said:
General, how do you like the operaT
Grant slowly took his cigar from hi
mouth and blew away cloud of smoke
"Well." he replied slowly, "it that fel
low gets the girl and the $4,000, it is al
right"
II was satisfied" said McVicker, "tha
the General had kept the run of tn
story, but | am not quite sure what h.
thought of the OPERA"

low humbly, and endeavor, by honest
and hearty admiration of what he called
"the glorious pictures, sir, upstairs" to
propitiate the great painter. "No, sir,"
he said, 'he wouldn't look at me or speak

Stuart, the Painter Of Washington
Magazine of American Historyl


1t is told of this great Inner that he
was never embarrassed in the presence of
any man or society, but that when
Washington entered the room to take
his seat, it was with the greatest diff
Guilty that he could command sufficient
presence of mind to begin his task. In
addition to this drawback, he found it
impossible to excite in the least the at
tenion or interest of his sitter, the con-
sequence of which was that he failed in
his first picture and destroyed it, and il
was only at the close of his
first attempt that, after exhaust
ing his fine colloquial resources, he
recollected Washington's fondness for
horses. Stuart was peculiarly eloquent
on this topic, for he had INDUCED almost
to excess in nimrod love OF the chase
while in England and Ireland. The
General grew animated with the discus
sion, and the artist endeavored to convey
the lively emotion to his canvas, but it
was too late; the work was almost fin
ished, and it was impossible to infuse in
the completion that which should have
been secured at the inception. The full
lengths by Stuart are rarely referred to
as types of the original, for that of Trum.
bull, having the advantage in outline
and proportion, is invariably selected.

When Alphonse Daudet, the author of
"Sidonie" and "The Nabob," first arrived
in Paris from Languedoc he was sixteen
years old; he had in his pocket forty
sous, in his heart no end Of hope, and in
his head determination to take to lit
erature. He wrote some charming verses
which were 50 highly thought of at the
Tuileries that the Empress recommended
him to De Morny, who took the youth
as a secretary, SO that the character Of
De Mora, in 'The Nabob," had the ad.
vantage of being studied from life.
Daudet has a fnely-cut physiognomy
full of distinction, pointed beard, and
flowing hair overshadowing his forehead
with its wavy locks. The expression OF
his short-sighted eyes is genial and be-
nvvolent He is a man whose modesty
approaches timidity.
