TIE TEXAS MUSTANG,

Mr.. Murray, the ex-preacher, writes
enthusiastically to the Boston Herald
in favor of the little Texas mustang:
Texas is just the place for the bust
ness, aud the tough little mustangs are
the right stock to take hold of for i'm
provement. He says that they trace
their origin back to "a race of equine
kings aud queens, and have only dete
riorated under hard usage. 81 have
seen these little S00-pound horses" he
says. "travel eighty miles with 1S0-
pound man up, under Southern sun,
in ride across country, without road
ways, from sun to sun, and that, too
with little grain, perhaps nothing but
the grass they can get from the prairie
at night-many OF them pace--pace like
the wind-pace SO fast that they play
with you on the prairie, though you
have biooded mount that can run like
q greyhound. Others trot-trot natu-
rally-with stiles well out and perfect
knee action, and will do nothing but
trot, however hard pressed. I have
raced through the prairie grasses and
flowers at the rump of mustang STALL
ion fifteen and one-half hands high, and
blood bay in color, with a tail black as
night and that would sweep the ground
foot, and been unable to break up his
trot or range up to his side, although my
mount was a..three-quarter-bred mare of
1,10O pounds weight, that took to the
chase with her eyes blazing and ears laid
back in way that plainly told her rider
that she felt good deal as he did,"

moves great deal but never uses
its feet for the purpose, has one foot

the body? 1t never walks out, but
goes with one foot where the head
might be, dragging the other foot
behind. Answer: A yardstick.-

Dime novel reading has led to
more than one elopement of boys
from home to shoot Indians and
buffalo, and has made quite a num-
ber of juvenile highwaymen. Its
latest result is the killing of one boy
III his teens by another at Spring
field, Mass. A slight dispute arose,
when one of the youth, being
charged with cheating at a game
they were play ing, discharged a re,
volver at his accuser. The shot
proved instantly fatal, though the
boy who fred it claimed that he did
not know the weapon was loaded.

We have recently learned that certain
parties have, through ignorance OR malice,
been industriously circulating the report
that we teach Telagraphy by the register
only. We teach wholly by sound, not
having used register during the past
eighteen years; and in no establishment in
America are there better facilities for learn

our College. Any person who, after this,
says otherwise, will be guilty of wilfully

We do not dispute the correctness
of the decision Of the city council on
Friday night, to the effect that under
existing ordinances it has no power
to confer police powers on watch
men employed by private corpora
tions, firms or individuals. We do
not know how that is. But we do
know that such things have been
done, and it is an absurd ty not to
allow it done. Whenever any bus.
mess house or manufacturing es' alb
lishment desires is have police pow
ers conferred upon private waLchmen
It should be done and if the
ordinances as they exist
prevent the exercise ot
such power, they should be modified
SO as to allow it. It is done in other
elhes. 1t costs the city nothing,
and 10 good reason can be given
why 1t should not be done here. We
profess to be in favor of buildino,
up manufacturing establishments
but if we are going to be guilty of
such narrow minded, foolish and alb
surd illiberality, we should stop pre-
tending to favor such establishments.
Let the city council pass an ordi-
nance at once providing that any good
man employed as private watch
man ~ business or manufacturing
establishment, without expense to
'ne city, may be clothed with police
pswers.
