Horse Points.

All agree, says writer in the Agrt-
cultural Gazette, it is the action in the
horse that sells. This is obtained when
we have the complemental power in the
muscles, the greatest leverage from the
bones, and quality in the tendons, health
in the ligaments, and truth in the dispo-
sition of the limbs. We adjudicate on
the horses hindquarters as awhole. All
horses with any pretensions to quality OF
family possess length and straightness
from the hips to tail. This is especially
graceful and horizontal in the thorough
bred.
l. Length from hip to hook is the cri-
terion both of speed and power; all
horses of value are 'swell let down" in
their quarters, affording increase of
length and volume in the muscles, pow
er and speed accruing. The haunch-
bone and thigh bone--the first strong
and long, the second strong, of average
length; this naturally varies with breed,
but in all classes it is most important
tho thigh 'sbe we'll let down into the
hock;" muscular development here can
not be too s'immense. Good gaskins
afford material help for getting through
the dirt.
2. At the articulation of the haunch
and thigh-bone we find the stifle IN stu.
A good one, without exception, is high
up abutting the flank This is the con-
centration of power in all classes; it is
certain sign that the haunch-bone is
well sloped forward, and that the thigh
bone is well carried back.
s. The hook we have previously de-
termined on, but as in the Iorelegs, I
counsel young beginners to avoid weak,
ill-defined knees; SO here, have as little
to do with horses whose os calsts, or
point of the hook, is ill-defined. Re-
member puff and gum is weakness. Sc
cure hooks that are clean and well de-
fined. The os calsis contributes lever
age; it is evidence both of power and
speed. The hind cannons, or metatar-
sal bones, must individually be straight,
with just soupcon of inclination for
ward. They should be fiat and short;
breadth under the hook here is strength,
the sign of quality. Feel tendons along
their course, that the legs, as in the
fore, are clean in the tendons (broad
and fat), the sesamoid bones, at the
upper portion Of the fetlock joints, well
pronounced,

The Real Home.

Not all people have homes-real
homes. Many have place to eat and
sleep into drop in at dull intervals
while nothing exciting is going on out

haps maintained at considerable ex-
pense as well as worry-a nursery from
cellar to garret, maybe, overrun with

dare not be growled at anywhere else.

the little domestic republic, so gov.
erned and regulated that wearisome mo-
ments in it are unknown, which is held
superior to theater, opera, party or re.
ception; where worry and fret and soul
looks and harsh words are banished
where the man and the woman have
agreed to bury al differences, to cult
vate all agreements, to ignore irrecon.

value that which is freely and lovingly
given above all gold or silver; where
courtesy is never forgotten, where tho
undignified indifference or over famili
arity is allowed no place, where little
disappointments are ignored and great
ones endured in silence, where a cheer
full, thankful meal can be eaten of the
humblest fare-such home may be
maintained at little cost of money, but
at considerable outlay of discipline and
control of unruly, rebelious human ma

Panama AdVIees.

PANAMA, September 24.-The Ger
man ship Hugo burned in the South
Pacific, August 8. The long boat
with Captain Carpenter and seven men
arrived at Chloe, Chill, having made
800 miles in nine days. The ship
suffered terribly from the want OF
food and water. Two boats, with the
rest of the crew, have not been heard
from. Alter parting with the captain 8
boat, one man died in the latter before
reaching Chloe. The Hugo was 1879
tons, and was bound from New Castle
to San Francisco.
Captain Meyer, of the German
schooner Phoenix, at Calloa reports
having discovered a new island about
1000 miles of Punta Aguja. The
nearest land is said to be of volcanic
origin. About fifty feet is the high

mile wide. The British steamer King
Fisher, United States steamer Alaska
and the Chilian transport Chill have
gone to verify this new addition to the
geography of the world.

The Telegraph Summons n Young
Lady 10 Meet Her Future Lord
and Master at Little Rock.

Little Rock Gazette,2.l
Last night reporter of the Gazette,
on his rounds looking for items,
stepped into the Atlantic Hotel. and
in looking over the register found
registered j. II. Eskener, Sandusky,
Ohio. room Is, and Miss s. S. Wom
BILE, San Antonio, Texas, room 19.
As is natural with reporter,
be commenced making inquiries, and
CLEANED the following facts from Mr..
5. s. Womble, father of the young
lady mentioned above: Mr.. Eskener
is drummer for the horse shoe to-
bacco, and in the course of his travels
reached San Antonio, Texas, and
stopped at the hotel kept by Mr..
Womble. During his sojourn there
he formed the acquaintance of Stella,
the daughter of the landlord, and in
the end succeeded in gaining her af-
fections. They were engaged, but
ere the time rolled round for the
wedding day, stern duty (selling
horseshoe tobacco) called him away.
He went, but he never forgot his love.
At every station he sent her tender
messages. either by letter or by tele-
graph. At last he telegraphed her
from Texarkana to meet him at Little
Rock, and there the knot would be
tied that made them one. In answer
to the telegram the young lady, accom-
panied BY father, boarded the train
for Little Rock. On the arrival of the
train at Mabelvale they were met
by the lover, who accompanied them
to the city and to tie Atlantic Hotel.
Upon their arrival a messenger was
at once dispatched to Justice Pears,
who, in company with his wife, soon,
appeared on the scene, and were
ushered into the parlOr. The young
couple appeared before the justice and
were married. At the hour (l1 O'clock)
when the reporter visited the hotel,
the newly married couple were domi-
ciled in the bridal chamber, while the
father was keeping a lonesome watch
seated in chair in the Office Of the
hotel, waiting for the bus to carry
him to the depot, on his way to the
home that had been despoiled by a
| drummer of chewing tobacco.

Proposed Democratic Caucus.

WASHINGTON, October IA call
has been issued for a caucus of Repub-

morningat ten o clock, at the Capitol to
devise a plan of action for organizing
the Senate. The Democratic
caucus will probably meet at the same
hour, and no doubt some efforts to
effect compromise organization be-
tween both parties will be made.
Most Of the Democratic Senators
who are now here, openly declare
against any compromise, and hold that
under the law and custom the organi-
zation of the Senate is within Demo
cratic control. There are said to be
several Democrats, however, who
quietly prefer to make some agree.
