The OlYdesdale Horse.

This breed of horses Of Scotch orr
Dgin. 1t is said that one OF the ancient
kings required the bishops to see that
good stations were kept in each do
cese, to propagate good race Of horses
for agricultural purposes as well as for
other work. Later the Duke of Hamil-
ton sent TO Flinders for Flemish stall

sprung from the horses kept as above
referred to. became the fountain head
OF the Clydesdale.
The estate of the Duke of Hamilton
is in the valley of Clyde, aud from
which came the name "Clydesdalc. .
From this valley the breeding of this
horse spread all over Scotland, and are
now in demand all over the world
where good draft horses are needed.
The following is the general descrip-
ton OF this now popular breed In col
or, bays and browns predominant, with
usually some white in the face or on the
feet. In height they range from 1873
to III, with an occasional one at near
ly eighteen hands; and in weight from
1,500 to 2,l00 pounds. with an occa-
sional horse 2,400 to $500 pounds.
They are heavier boned than most
other breeds, according 10 their weight,
particularly in their limbs, which are of
great width, fiat, cordy and hard 1t
is said that at the bone mills the bones
Of the Clyde can readily be distn-
guished from those of tho ordinary
horse by their toughness and solidity.
Ring bone, bone spavins, splints, and
such diseases Of the bony structure are
with them in their native country utter
ly unknown. The hoofs are good sized,
deep, well-shaped, fine grained firm
and tough. He has prominent eye,
fine head, well-shaped neck, which is
well set upon magnificent shoulders.
Their barrel is round and straight, with
none of the paunchy appearance; body
generally long, and the quarters i'm
monse. The whole muscular structure
is OF prodigious development, and with
none Of the stal-fed and labby appear
ance so common in some families of
the draft horse; their names and tails
heavy and usually inclined to curl The
back OF the legs, from the knee and the
hooks to the fctlocks, is covered with
quito long hair--a characteristic as
highly priced by the Scotchman as the
crumpled horn by the breeders Of Short
Horns-both being evidences OF the
purity of the blood. They are kind
and gentle in disposition, but spirited,
and with great nerve, vim and courage.
They are rapid walkers, with or with
out load, are excellent travellers for
such heavy horses, OF wonderful power
and endurance, and withal very easily
kept.

pair of twins, who are not less Of nat

were. From the breast bone down they
have but one body; above they are two

feet, but four arms. The sense OF feel

distinct and individual. AT the mo-

heads looked peevish and occasionally
cried on account of painful tooth,
while the other looked fresh and lively,

The left foot seems to be connected
only with the left head, aud the right
foot with the right head. One Of the

a parallel in perfidy in the political history
OF the country. So far as the editors OF the
yIRGINIAN are concerned, they have no
appeal to make to President Hayes or Gen.
Garfield. through the influence of crumbs
of Federal patronage. in resisting such
nfamy. The Republicans Of the South
have and will continue to have their SYM
pathy and support without asking, and we
confidently expect it in the contest upon
which we are about entering, in whatever
disguise the Democratic party may appear
to antagonize ns. To question this would
imply dstrust either Of their sympathy
with the Republican cause, or our fidelity
to the principles OF the party. We do not
propose to be exposed to the imputation
of either. and shall confidently rely upon
tl,e active aid so far as it can be legiti-
mately given. not only of the Republican
administration at Washington, but OF the
Republican party of the whole country.

The question of the equalization of assess
ment and taxation is attracting attention in
several States of the Union. The necessity
for some method or legislative enactment
which. would insure more uniform valuation
of properties and especially reach the resources
of personally in Virginia is very apparent,
Real property bears an undue proportion of
the burthens of government for the reason
that it cannot be concealed or passed unob-
served, while personal property is rarely ever
correctly and fully listed OF adequately as
sessed. The constitution requires that taxation
shall be equal and uniform, but it is most diff
cult matter to enforce this constitutional provis
ion. Whether board of equalization could
remedy the matter we cannot tell. A search
ing scrutinizing investigation might discover
heavy deficiencies, and if those who are guilty
of making false returns knowingly, were
brought before the grand jury and properly
punished it might make difference. -
