Good Points of a Horsa

In buying a horse, look first to his
head and eyes for signs of intelligence,
temper. courage and honesty. Unless
a horse has brains you cannot teach
him TO do anything well. II bad quail
ties predominant in a horse. education
only serves TO enlarge and intensity
them. The head is the true Indicator
Of disposition in the horse. A square
muzzle with large nostrils evidences an
ample breathing apparatus and great
lung power. Next, see that he Is well
out under the jowl. with jaw bones
broad and wide apart under the throt-
tie. Breadth and fullness between tho
ears and eyes is always desirable. Tho
eye should be full and hazel in color;
ears small and thin, and thrown well
forward. The horse that turns his ears
back until they almost meet at the
points is not TO be trusted. He is u
bitter or a kicker. and is SURF to be vi
cious in other respects. A horse with q
dishing face is cowardly. and a coward
ly brute, besides being naturally vi
cious, can never be trained to do any
thing well. A horse with a rounding
nose, tapering forehead and q broad.

in-chief of Lower Austria. sword in
hand On the right walked the in
spector Of the royal carriages. The
queen and princess both appeared in X
cellent spirits. and repeatedly acknowl-
edged the greetings Of the enormous
crowd. Behind Gen. Phillipoleyi and
the inspector, walked several footmen,
who were followed by six halberdeers
and six body guards on horseback.
Then came six pages on horseback, and
after them a mounted detachment Of
imperial archers arrayed in red uni
forms, trimmed with gold. white trous-
ers and Wellington boots. After them
marched q detachment of Hungarians
in gorgeous green and gold uniforms;
then the carriage containing the two
ladies of the household of the queen and
princess; two more carriages co obtaining
three ladies Of the imperial household,
drawn by six horses, came next, and
the rear was brought up by a company
of infantry and a squadron of cavalry.
All the servants forming a part of the
procession, walked or rode bareheaded.
When the carriage of the bride
reached the triumphant arch near
Elizabeth bridge, a halt was made,
and the burgomaster Of the city, ac-
companied by the common council and
the various municipal officers, ap-
o ached and delivered a speech. The
procession then resumed its way
through the magnificent Rings-trasse.
On approaching the imperial burg. the
arrival of the gorgeous cavalcade was
formally announced by the court off,
cial to the chief of the imperial house.

announced it to the emperor.
The preparations for the marriage are
now complete. The inspired city has
been in a state Of joyous excitement for
days past, and wears the most charming
apparel. Banners and b~right-hued
drapery hang from windows in the
leading thoroughfares; the palaces and
public buildings are brightly decked
with eyergreens, and tonight the whole
city will be resplendant with tasteful
illuminations. The decorations at the
French embassy are perfectly effective,
consisting chiefly Of immense garlands,
evergreens looped from window to win

flowers. AT night the facade will be
Illuminated by electric light.

ney.
A Vienna special of May 9th, says:
With a dull sky overhead and slight
sprinkling showers, the royal bride
made her entry into the city to-day.
Her reception was as enthusiastic as
one could desire. From an early hour
large throngs gathered along the whole
line of the route until the streets were
completely packed with human beings.
The decorations were rich and plentiful,
the only thing wanting to make it an
entire success being sunshine. AT noon
the various corporations assembled
before the gate Of the city; half an
hour later the queen of Belgium and
Princess Stephanie drove in a carriage
and-six from the imperial chateau of
Schonbrunn to the Theresianum, where
they were received by a brilliant staff.
by this time m continuous line Of
infantry had taken position along the
ronte. and kept clear the way for the
procession.

The republican senators held a eau
Gus Monday afternoon, for the purpose
Of determining what course should be
pursued in regard to the class of execu-
tive business that was left temporarily
unprovided for In the programme adopt
ed a week ago. The meeting although
prolonged to the late hour of six, was
at last adjourned without reaching a
point Of action on the subject under
consideration. At an early stage of the
proceedings resolutions were submitted
to declare that in the sense Of the eau.
Gus, it is inexpedient for the senate to
take action at this session upon any
contested nominations to oil Offices not
now vacated. This gave rise to a
long and not especially interesting de-
bate as TO the general rights and duties
of the senate and the president, the
contention being on the one hand that
the senate is bound to give respect
full consideration to all nominations
sent in by the president and to act
upon them promptly, and on the other
hand, that the senate is fairly entitled
to exercise its own discretion in regard
to the time when any nomination
should he considered. Conkling took
the floor and proceeded to make a
speech which occupied the remainder of
the caucus session. 1t was devoted to
a history of the nomination Of Judge
Robertson for the New York collector
ship and to a comprehensive statement
Of the eason why this nomination was
particularly Objectionable and offensive
to him. In the course of his remarks
be entered extensively into the subject
Of New York state politics and Judge
Robertson's connection with him, par.
ticularly ut the Chicago convention,
and also gave a detailed recital of
his conference and understanding with
the presidents In regard to the New
York nominations, etc., at various
times a~ntecedent to the nomination OF
Robertson.

pursued party entered a long, narrow
lane, Pulaski, having satisfied himself
of the superior speed and command Of
his horse over that Of his pursuer.
slackened his pace and kept his horse

sun. The pursuing officer came up in
hot haste. his sword elevated so as to
make the decisive cut upon Pulaski as

fixed warily upon tho ground on the
side of his horse toward the sun on his
right. As soon as he saw tho shadow
Of his pursuer's horse gain upon him.
and found that the horses head, by the
shadow, had gained about half tho
length of his own horses body, he gavo
a sudden sword cut of st. George, with

COFFEE CULTURE IN MEXICO.

The culture of coffee in Mexico is be-
coming a more extensive and profitable
industry than is generally known. There
are now many large coffee planta-
tions in the country, and the amount of
capital and labor invested increases
largely with every year. The land can
he purchased for about SO per acre,
and the work required to clear and pre-
pare it for the coffee plant is slight in
most localities The plants, from six
months to year old, are set in rows
from eight to ten feet apart, and about
six feet apart in the row. Coffee is Of
ten produced two years from the plant
ing of the seed, but profitable hearing
begins only when the plant is four or
five years old. AT the end OF seven years
the yield will be sufficient to repay the
owner for all previous outlay and labor,
and the land does not require Teplanting
for many years. Another advantage in
favor of coffee culture is that the raising
of many other varieties of tropical fruit
can be combined with it by planting be-
tween the rows. The coffee tree, when
left alone, will grow to a height of FROM
fifteen to twenty feet, but it is usually
nipped about six feet from the ground,
thus giving more vigor to the branches
and stock. The berries while growing
are of grassy green, but when ripe
turn to bright red. Though the plant
is continuously Towering and developing
fruit, the actual harvest season is from
November to April. The berries when
gathered are spread to dry in the sun,
after which they are hulied and stored
away. Coffee, when ready for the
market, is worth from 10 to II cents at
the place where it is raised. .-RochCStcr
