The Electoral Count.

The electoral vote must be counted one week
from next Wednesday, and, as there is no pro-
vision made by the two houses to regulate the
manner of counting, some of the republicans
ocrats may have some sinister motive in re-
fusing to pass any rule to which the republicans
are willing to agree, and that trouble is intend

may be few revolutionary spirits in that body

might embalrasss the republicans, no matter
what the effect upon the country might be, vet

Midnight In a Prison.

There Is something very solemn in &
large convict prison at midnight. A fainI
sound of healthy slumber comes from tn,
cells where the convicts sleep. Perhap:
there are thousand, perhaps only five
hundred undergoing punishment; bu
whatever may be the number one is CON
scious that nowhere else save IN couvic,
prison could so m-ny human beings sleeu
with so little to interrupt the sense oi
calm repose. Ir. the same number OF
people taken from the ordinary world,
there would be slight sounds arising from,
nightmare following on indigestion-per-
haps from some reminiscence troubling the
conscience on the question whether the
strong steps taken for payment of that
bill were not in the circumstances slightly
harsh, or some other disturbing recollec-
ton; there might also be uneasy Thoughts
and dreams creative of restlessness. None
of these troubles disturb the sleep of the
habitual criminal. This is not because h. q
conscience lies easy on him, but because
ne does not possess the article known to
the rest of The world as Conscience.
Hence he neither Enjoys the saiIsfaction
Of its healthy and genial condition nor the
troubles attending on its infic:Ions, and it
is with him essentially that the ''Prayer
for indifference" by Greville. as 1t NAV
he found in the old 'E!egant Extracts,

KIND Treatment of Horses.

| 1t has been observed by experienced
horse trainers that naturally vicious horses
are rare. and among those that are proper
ly trained and kindly treated when colts
they are the exceptions
1t is superfiuous to say that gentle and
docile horse Is always the more valuable,
other qualities being equal, and it is almost
obvlous trat gentle treatment tends to de-
velop this admirable quality in tae horse
as well as in the human species. while harsh
treatment has the contrary tendency.
Horses have been trained so as to be en-.
tiTely governed by The words of his irlver,
and they will obey and perform their SIM
pie but important duties with as much
alacrity as the child obeys the direction of
.hc parent.
II is tine that sll horses are not equally
intelligent and tractable, but il is proha-
Bile that there Is less difference among them
in this regard than there is among human
masters, siece there are many indictments
and ambitious among men that do not Of
feet animals.
The horse lear1s 10 know and to have
confidence in a gentle driver, and soon DIS
covers how to secure for himself that
which he desires, and to understand his
surroundings and his duties. The tone,
volume, and infections of his masters
voice indicate much, perhaps moie than
the words that are spoken. Soothing tones
rather than words calm him il excited by
fear or anger, and angry and excited tones
tend TO excite or anger hlm. In short,
bad masters make bad horses.
