The Late Alexander l.. HOlley.


 The American Society of Mechanical Engineers and several other associations of engineers held joint meeting in the Turf Club theater, New York, Wednes- day night, in commemoration of their late member, Alexander Lyman Holley, son of ex-Governor Holley of Lakeville. two hours on the life and work of the deceased. His life was successful, he said. It was filled with the joy of labor; it was surrounded at the last with com fort and fame and troops of friends. But the success was not of accident or sudden growth. It was earned inch by defeats; held at the cost of constant wig ilance and trial The first is the great benefit of uniting theory with practice. Every word that Holley spoke, every line he wrote, betrayed his familiarity with the practical operations, tools, diff culties and needs of his business Con- trolled and reinforced by mighty per- severence softened and frightened by an unfailing gentleness of soul, they added to his genius that which made him great, for what we call greatness in sphere is simply recognized excellence. The excellence may be spurious, the recognition may be fictitious and en- phemeral; then the greatness is false, and the great of to-day are forgotten tomorrow. But when noble character has been nobly exhibited, when genuine power has won genuine praise, this greatness will endure.
 "He did not, ," concluded the speaker, ''as once he feared he might do, go down poor and unknown, carrying with him thoughts of which the world was not worthy. He was heard, believed, accepted, rewarded, with no greater de- lay or difficulty than sufficed to bring out to their full extent, his own best powers. It was given to him to do grand things in the sight of all men. And beneath all our words and pictures and statues of him lies forever, sure foundation, the work he did for his time. ."-NeU Fork Herald

The chap returned him book. together with

Horses. with their winter coats. sweat
easily. When brought in warm, they
should be rubbed dry and blanketed for
an hour. Work horses should not he
blanketed in the stable. but carriage
horses. or those used only upon the road,
may be kept warmly blanketed, for though
by this they become more sensitive TO
cold and need more care. yet their coat
does not grow SO close and long. and they
are much less likely to sweat when driven.
