A Curious Incident.

The intelligence of old troop horses
is the subject of many anecdotes which,
wonderful as they often are, will rarely
be doubted by any one who is familiar
with horses. A good story Illustrative
of their sagacity is told and vouched for
as authentic by a South African paper.
"The scene of the occurrence was
Potchefstroom, where our men and the
Beers were known to be very near
neighbors; so near, indeed, that when
the horses were turned out to water
they had their headstalls and halters
taken off, so that if the enemy sud
denly appeared and tried to catch the
animals they would have nothing to lay
hold of them by, and the horses would
have chance of escaping into their own
lines. One evening, as usual. the horses
were let out of the fort to water and
rushed straight to the place where they
usually drank. But the Beers were
nearer than had been suspected, and
jumping out of some trenches, sue
ceeded in capturing the animals, in spite
of the fact that the halters were missing.
The Beers, being admirable riders, as
is well known, mounted, and would,
probably, have been able to guide their
new steeds into the town, when sud-
denly the bugle at the fort sounded
'horses in at trot,' and straightway
the whole of them turned and made for
home, carrying their unwilling freight.
The Dutchmen threw themselves of
right and left, but four were carried
right into the camp and taken prison

Nice Little Bridge.

The big bridge between New York
and BROOKLYN has been for over ten
years in course of construction and is
not yet done. Another bridge which
was long ago planned to connect the
two cities has now been begun and will
be finished, if all goes well, in three
years. This is to be comparatively
inexpensive structure, because instead
ofrequiring a sixteen undred-foot span,
as is the case with the big bridge, it
will use the rock foundation of Black
wells Island as resting place for two
piers. The bridge will cross from Sew
enty-frst Street to Ravenswood, a
suburb which was formerly occupied by
the mansions of the wealthy, but which
was sadly damaged by chills and fever
and by the bad smells of the oil refiner-
les and other manufacturing industries
of Hunters Point The floor Of the
new bridge will be about $50 feet above
high water in the East River. which
will allow considerably more room for
passing vessels than will be afforded by
the floor of the big bridge. The whole
length of the new bridge will be 2,O52
feet and it's longest span 1874. 1t is to
furnish roadway for all sorts of vehicles,
including steam cars and locomotives,
making connection between the rail
ways which center at Grand Central
Depot and those which wander to and
fro over Long Island. AS this bridge
is private undertaking, and there are
no chances for public stealage in con
nection with it, it will probably be
pushed to speedy completion. 1t will
cost about 100000, which will be
about one-fourth the cost of the big
bridge. Pbilddelphi0 Times.

from seed of Isabeth, over fifteen

ling the latter; is thick; leathery and
has never shown mildew or leaf

The fruit hss no tendency to rot
Ii is not expected that it will succeed
every where, nor is it claimed to be
a grape that will succeed over as
wide a range of territory as the Con
cord, but it is recommended tor
planting in ordinarily good grape
regions, and by those who want
something that is really good. 1t

Happy is be who can command
his temper even under trying cir~

unbridled tempers are beyond calcu'

fretful and irascible man gives his
friends much concern. His conduct
when under it's influence renders him
very uuamiable, and of course great

And this is not all. If he has any
real sensibllity, the emotions he feels
are as painful as those he causes in
the breasts of others, When the
calm of retirement succeeds to the
hustle of company, his solitary mo"

SOMEBODY up in Washington
county published claim for Lap
hams Hill as the highest land in
Wisconsin whereat Horace Rublee
remarks as follows in his paper of
Monday:
The Blue Mounds take that rank,
the highest of two, having an eleva-
tion of about 100 feet above lake
Michigan. We are not SO familiar
with the character of the view from
the top of Lapham's peak, but we
are confident that there is no point
in the state, which affords finer
prospect than the summit of the
western, Of the two peaks, just on
on the boundary line, between Dane
and Iowa counties. In the early
territorial days it was a well known
point of interest, on the main stage
route from the lake to the Mississ-
ippi. OF late, being off the line of
railway, the Blue Mounds have been
less frequently heard of. The new
line of the Northwestern railway
from Milwaukee, through Madison,
to the Mississippi river, runs along
the foot of the Mounds, and we pre-
dict that the station at Blue Mounds,
will soon become well known to
persons seeking pleasant resorts in
the season OF summer travel. The
altitude is sufficient to give an
appreciabie exhiliaratins quality to
the pair, on the summit, which is &C.
cessible without much difficulty, and
affords view which, for extent and
beauty, is Got eqraled elsewhere in
the state.
