FLOODED HORSES.
One OF the Largest Shipments Ever
Made now on the way to America.

One of the largest patches of thor
oughbred horses ever shipped to this
country is now on the high seas aboard
the Anchor Line steamship Australia
which left London for New York on
the 22d of March. Among this INSTALL
ment of blooded animals are ',e cele-
brated stallion Elsham, by Knowsley,
out of Violet, through whose veins
flows the blood of StackWeil, the en-
peror of stations, and winner of the
1000 guineas and the st. Ledger, and
also of Voltigeur, who won the Derby.
st. Leger, and Doncaster cups. Next
comes Blue mantle, beautiful horse,
although no longer very youthful, who
as Swear old, when he first faced the
Ascot Hill, won three races of the reel.
Third on the list is Muscovy, who, on
his sire's side, like Elsoam, has Glas-
gov pedigree, as the Duke was bred by
the eccentric old Scottish Earl, being
by Stockwell, out of mare that
produced Pintail and many other
good winners. He is noted as a fine
Jumper, having won the Sandown open
hunters steeplechase. beating several
very successful horses. One of the best
bred horses on the English stud book is
lSilverstream, who is also a passenger
on the Australia, an animal that, car
rylng high weights. has been most sue
cessful on several occasions. Then
again comes Midlothian, an animal that
will doubtless be appreciated in Ameri-
ca, as he has won many valuable stakes,
beating all the fastest horses in train
ing. Still another Drawing the perils of
the deep is Woodlands, a handsome and
remarkably sound horse, who has done
an immense amount of hard work.
The other ocean voyagers are Tynpan-
UNI, by Kettledrum, out of Gildermire;
Dalucardoch, a small horse, is closely
related In blood to the famous Doncas-
ter that cost the Duke of Westminster
14.00O guineas: Constitution, by Resti-
tuition. Then comes Swear old colt
by Favonius, winner of the Derby, the
Goodwood Cup, and other races, for
Baron Rothschild, out of Nutbush, the
fastest mare of her day; and King of
Athens, 2-year old colt by Cecrops,
out of Woodbine. A perfectly untried
tilly, though likely to grow into good
mare, is the animal by King Luder, out
of Northwind. Still another to be no
ticed is a mare by Knight of St. Pat
rick, out Of Gentle. The lot further
comprises several very fine English
trotters, stations, and other thorough
breds, all Of which will be disposed Of

WITHERED ROSES

Withered rose-leaves In an urn
Everywhere our glances turn,
Time old graves uncovers.
Many a dainty, perfumed note,
Hands long cold once warmly wrote,
Hidden here by lovers.
All, the manly hearts, now cold.
All the mem'ries sweet and old,
This quaint room discloses.
All the warmth is chill to-day;
All the life has passed away;
Nought is left but roses
Roses, withered now and dead,
All their ancient sweetness fed
With their ancient splendor.
As bend above, / feel
vague fragrance from them steal,
Like mem'ry tender
Of their olden pleasant days,
When the sums rich golden blaze
Kissed their cheeks 10 glory.
All the pain these mem'ries give
All the pain that one must live
When our life's sweet story
Holds no more the olden joy
Of what use valued toy,
When its charm is broken2
Of our life when Youth is Ger
Of the Past which comes no more,
Are these flowers the token.
When the sun has lost his light,
When the fall Of Winters night
Our AuNmn-tide o'ercloses
Eall We then the mem'ries sweet
Of those vanished moments fleet
A4hes If Youths roses.

DIGEST OF sUPREME-COURT DECISION


l. An application to the township
board to remove the moderator of a
district, on the ground that he persist
emily refuses to countersign an order
drawn by the director of the district on
the assessor, involves an inquiry, in
which the payee named in the order is
an interested party. Stockwell v.
Township board of White Lake, %
Mich, 341.
2. A proceeding before the township
board to remove an officer of a school
district is in the nature OF a judicial in
vestigation; and when one of the board
is interested in the subject of the com
plant, and the presence of such mem
ber is essential to the quorum, the pro-
ceedings are void. Ibid.
3. When either of the members of
the township board is interested in the
subject for consideration he is not "com-
petent or able to act," in the sense of
the statute; and such incompetency
will justify the calling in of one of the
remaining justices. Ibid.
4. Every special tribunal appointed
by law is subject to the maxim that no
person can sit in any cause in which
he is a party, or in which he is inter
ested. Ibid.
5. The removal of a school dirsrict
assessor by the township board is re-
viewable on certiorari. Merrick v.

AMERICA AND EUPOPE.-The from
tier of European States are iron-like in
their rigidity. Armed millions on the
one side brandish their weapons at
other armed, millions facing them.
Neighbors are not permitted to visit
neighbOrs without permits and pass
ports. In brief, every impedinfspt
that cultivated barbarism, financial
ignorance, and intense nationalism
can erect. is placed between
men hailing from contermin-
GUS geographical areas. Worse
still, the progressive elements
among the peoples areruthlessly eradiE'
Gated, and the type forcibly retained
in its ancient form. Fortunately, for
the good of mankind and for the peace
of laggard political systems, the ener-
getic minds of Europe cannot be pre-
vented from reaching the United
States. But the consequence is to give
new energies and broader vistas to the
Americans; to quicken the march and
swell the triumphg of the young giant
of thesWest. The, discomfort of. Eu-
rope finds content in America: and dis
content, translated into mechanical
formula, means search for lines Of
least resistance. The United States
have no rigid Boundaries. Our own
line of colonies is the most yielding Of
barriers, through which people pasB

bristle on each side, but these do not
