Good Points of Il Horse

In buying 4 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. If bad quail
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
cut under the jowl, with jaw bones
broad and wide apart under the throt-
tie. Breadth and fuilness between the
ears and eyes is always desirable. The
eye should be full and hazel in color;
ears small and thin, and thrown well
back until they almost meet at the
points is not to be trusted. He is a
bitter OF kicker, and is sure to be Vi
cious in other respects. 4 horse with
dishing face is cowardiy, and COW
ardly brute, besides being naturally Vi
cious can never be trained to do any
thing we'll A horse with a rounding
nose, tapering forehead and broad,
full place below the eyes, is always
treacherous and mischievous. Avoid
a long-legged, stilty horse. Select one
with short, sttaight back and rump,
withers high and shoulders sloping, well
set back and broad, with good depth
of chest, forelegs short, hind legs
straight, with the hook low down, short
pastern joints, and round, mulish
foot. By observing the above hints a
horse may be selected that is graceful
good-natured, serviceable, and a prize
to the owner.-iurt, Field and Farm.

The 300 Uniting on Logan for 1881.

A prominent Southern republican,
one Of the delegates to Chicago, who
did not vote for Grant, met a Post re-
porter last night and proceeded to ac-
quaint him with startling bit of news.
Have you heard of the last move of
the famous Grant phalanx of 306?"
oueried he of the new. gatherer. "Wen,
it is the formation of a league, with the
object of gathering in all the Federal
officers in the influence of the Conk-
ling-Logan-Cameron-Grant ring, the re-
cipients to be pledged to use their in
dividual efforts for the ensuing three
years to obtain delegations to the next
National Republican Convention who
will vote for Logan for the presidential
nomination. Is that good enough for
you?"

your surmises ?"

HERR MOST In HOT WATER.
A London Editor Indicted for Il Libel
Concerning the Late Gar.

Herr Most, of the Freiheit, has been
indicted at the Bow street police court
for publishing libel concerning the late
car, and urging the people to commit
murder outside her maiesty's domini-
ons. Herr Most was remanded for Il
week. He was not allowed bail. The
magistrate ordered that the money
found i'll the office of the Freihei be re-
stored to him. Mr.. Poland, IL opening
the case against Herr Most, said there
was no wish to interfere with the free
dom of the press, and that Herr Most
had right to publish anything that q
British subject might publish. lie then
read the article in the FreiheH of the
10Th instant. Some persons III court
applauded TIE passage lauding the
murder of the czar and were elected.
Mr.. Poland pointed out that the article
contained direct incentive to the muir
der of the emperor of Germany, who
was described as the "Erewhile grape
shot Prince of Prussia" and added
that the act provided that any person
melting to murder was guilty of Il mis-
demeanOr and liable to penal servitude
for a maximum term of ten o. a min
mum term OF three years, or to two
years imprisonment at hard labor.
The property t1ken possession of by
the police at the Freiheit office included
f200 gold. In the house of commons
Sir William Harcourt, replying to ques-
tons, read extracts from the obnoxious
article in the Freihei and pointed out
its revolving character He said its at
tacks even included one on the presi-
dent Of the United States. The gov
eminent thought it would be grave
error, from a democratic as well as an
international point of view, to ignore
the article. 1t was democratic crime
and breach of public morality to in
cite murder. No government would do
its duty if it allowed refuge in free
state to be converted into hot-bed of
Indictment to assassination. The gov
eminent acted on its own accord and
was not lnstigated by foreign powers.

Cornstalk Sugar.

At recent meeting of the American
agricultural association III New York
city, DR.. Peter Collier, chemist Of the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton, stated that during the past year
there had been examinations made Of
thirty eight varieties of sorghum grown
in and received from fourteen different
states, and from nine Varieties OF Indian
corn. The results of analyses made,
1878 in all of the sorghums, showed
them to yield, on an average, 1862
pounds of available sugar From four
of these varieties the sugar was extract
ed in quantity and at a rate of fully
1000 pounds per acre. As to the corn
stalks the results were most satisfacto-
ry, but the experiments were not so nu-
merous as with sorghum. An average
of twenty-six analyses of the nine vari-
cites examed showed them to contain in
their juice an amount Of sugar greater
in quantity than the average of the best
thirty specimens of the sixty specimens
of sugar beets grown in different parts
Of the country After large crop of
ripe corn had been gathered, the stalks
yielded at the rate of over 800 pounds of
sugar to the acre, and there appears no
reason to doubt that this result could be
obtained upon large scale.

Mott Shot.

Harper's Weeky works over this old
time story of our youth thus:
We received from correspondent
the following somewhat incoherent ac-
count ola duel which was fought in his
neighbornood. Some way or other we
are about half in the dark about the re-
suit Of the duel III question, but we
shall leave the decision to our readers:
A duel was lately fought in Texas by
Alexander Shot and John S. Mott.
Mott was shot and Shot was not In
this case it is better to be Shot than
Mott. There was rumor that Mott
was not shot, and Shot avows that he
shot Mott, which proves that the shot
Shot shot at Mott was not shot, or that
Mott was shot Notwithstanding. Cir
cumstantial evidence is not always
good. 1t may be made to appear on
trial that the shot Shott shot shot Shot
himself, when the whole affair would
resolve itself into It's original elements,
and Shott would be shot and Mott would
be not We think, however, that the
shot Shot shot shot not Shott, but
Mott; anyway, it is hard to tell who was
shot

The Wife for an Editor.

A Georgia editor is boastful over the
good qualities of his wife, to whom he
pays this doubtless well-deserved tri-
butte: There is little brown-eyed, en-
thusiAstic, high-spirited lady. who, after
she has cooked breakfast, cleared the
things away. set the house to rights,
attended the call of the bread-wagon,
and MIXED the COWS, dons her hat and
cloak, comes into this Office, yanks US
out of the editorial easy % chair,
pounces on the exchanges. amputates
every item of interest, stacks them on
the copy-hook, grabs up Faber, trav-
els it over a quire of editors manu-
script paper, removes her snowy-white
apron, shoves up her sleeves, grabs up
a stick and rule and sets it all into
type, reads the proofs and corrects ev-
cry error. That's our wife, and she
will get her reward in heaven. The
lady referred to In the above was Miss
Ella Green. formerly of Macon.

vestlgation. In 1889 committe of the
Royal Academy of Paris, after an in
vestlgatlon of five years, decided that
there was such thing as animal mag
netlsm, and that it excited positive
force. Psychology or magnetism con-
cerned the science of the human mind.
1t showed the power of the will when
concentrated upon single idea. One
right and practical idea followed out in
life would always lead to success.
Dickens when young resolved to have
a home at Gad's Hill and he had it be-
fore he died. Disraeli was sneered and
hooted at in Parliament, yet when a
youth he predicted that he would be
Prime Minister of the Realm. Bona-
parte early resolved to rule Franc
and IN after years, as all the world
knows, he wore the Emperor's crown.
The speaker then proceeded to manip-
ulate the minds of his subjects, who
were seated In row before him. He
did not cause any of them to buy the
charming property at Gad's Hill nor
to occupy the Prime Minister'S seat in
Parliament, nor toy with the ghttering
crown of France, but he made grown
men and women burn their fingers on
imaginary hot stoves, use chairs for
spelllng-books and make speeches and
play marbles as if they were school
children. He stuck real pins into them
and they smiled. He told them that
he was running swords through them,
and they yelled and mopped up i'm
aginary blood with their handkerchiefs.
Ladies in fashionable bonnets got down
on their knees and played jack-stones;
they admired imaginary masterpieces
of Michael Angelo, and made fools of
themselves generally, when suddenly
the magician snapped his fingers under
their noses, and they FASTENED, be-
wildered and blushing, to their seats,
while the audience roared with laugh
