for half Senate this year and the other ha'f in 1884. The consequence will be that h. If of the Democratic candidates for Senators having no opposition will be elected this yef 2, and the same number of Republican Senators will be elected without opposition in 1884. The Supreme Court will then doubtless bs called upon to decide which set of claimants has legal title to seats. That body is now composed of three Democrats and two Re publicans. But the places of the Democratic members are to be filled at the election this fall. So this years election will probably determine not only the complexion of the oourt but also that of the State Senate in 1884, which takes part in the election of Sen ator Voorhees, successor.
 Rear Admiral Ammen, one of the leading promoters of the Nicaragua ship canal scheme, has written an interesting letter dis cussipg the merits of the proposed canal and of the ship railroad scheme of which Captain Eads is the inventor and chief supporter. Admiral Ammen says the Nicaragua canal requires an excavation of 52i miles in length,
 
 ing. It requires the construction of dam across the San Juan river to raise the water forty. nine feet through which and other improvements. at 8 cost of about SS, 900, 900, an uninterrupted navigation at ocean speed may be maintained, if desired, for distance of 12O miles through river and lake, on the summit level no feet above the sea The AL, fund is givenby the engineer at $41, ,OOO,- GOO, but with contingencies, possible interest, etc., it will probably be double the amount named, and possibly S1oo,- 900, 900. The canal requires nodeep cuts, and as located has excellent surface drainage Captain Eads says his ship railroad will cost SIP, COG, 900, but Admiral Ammen thinks 1t will cost much more. He says further: 'Of the many shipoyners whom know not one has expressed even qualified willingness to permit his vessels to pass over the Eads ship railroad were it completed. l hope you will ask Captain Eads for list of shipowners 1n this country who are willing to make use cf his railroad if built. Were it completed and no vessels offered for transit, should the gov ernment suffer the loss or Captain Eads and his associates Would it not be worth while to have an authentic list of his associates pub lished an opinion would then be possible, as to whether they should have the confidence of the government and of the public. If you will make the guarantee of bonds dependent on the actual transportation from sea to sea of at least POO vessels yearly of 2,5Oo tons displacement or upwards, you will hear no more from Captain Eads and his associates except to modify such conditions of the act of incorporation as will fairly protect the in- terests of the government"

The Belfast (Maine) Age, one of the most influential Greenback papers in Maine, coun- sells the abandonment of the attempt to make that organization distinct party. The Age gives a table showing the falling of in the Greenback vote since 1878 to prove the strength of its position. Of the 70, 900 oppo- sition votes in Maine, 50, 900 will stick to the Democracy under any conditions, while not over 10000 were ever Republicans.

The candymakers of the country have just had 8 conference in New York to consider the glucose question, which comes up on g. claim of Boston company for royalty un- der patent twelve years old. The holders of the patent desire to make settlements for the use of glucose in the manufacture of confectionery hitherto, and then make con- tracts for royalty of one, quarter of cent pound on all used hereafter.

More than two years ago New York phy- sician brought suit against the Elevated rail road company to restrain them from running trains through West Fifty third street to the detriment of his property. Judgment is now given for the plaintiff and the corporation is enjoined from operating in that street. The final adjudication will be in the court of ap- peals. The plaintiff, in his complaint, de- clared that the railroad amounted to a nuis- ance by reason of the gases and smoke and the noise. It was claimed that the casting of gases and smoke upon the house was physi- cal trespass, as if land had been overfowed with water. Other suits are pending, and this decision may have an important bearing on the determination of similar complaints

only that he is to abide by it; it will be
seen as a matter of course. But If a
vicious fit takes him while training, you
must hold him az with a wise, and let
him know that resistance is entirely use
less Finch once and he will want you
to finch again, and he will endeavor,
and harder than before, to have it SO;
but If he have no excuse, the way will
soon be clear to you. Make your colt
know what you want of him as horse.
He is an instrument, and you are to fas-
ten him as you want him. II for farm
work, not for a trotter; if for trotter,
not for racer. IF you want him for
heavy farm work alone, he must be
treated somewhat differently from what
is necessary for a mere roadster, and
vice versa. For saddle horse or lady's
horse, you want something different
still. IT he is high tempered you must
treat him differently from horse with
mild disposition, and SO on. You must
know your horse, and know what you
want him for; then make him such;
shape the instrument to your purpose.
Begin early, at birth is not too early;
hints and signs have an effect-and these
go through life.
We have given general directions;
special rules cannot be given, as it would
require for almost every animal special
treatment, so various are the manifesto
tions of horses, particularly the different
breeds and almost innumerable varie-
ties.
There is not much to do to train 3
horse; we have mentioned most; but it
takes time and patience to do it. 1t
must be gradual, growing work. The
colt must grow III his training, as in his
years; it will be nature with him then,
and he will want to do that only; in fact
| he knows only to do that-this makes
| him reliable The man who is q hu-
name and intelligent man has made him
SO; and he will treat him with discre-
ton, work him what he can really bear,
and what mainly he loves to do. He
will therefore, wear at least 8 third Ion
ger. He will do good service till q ripe
old age, while others with hard treat
at are worn out at what should be
sheir prime.
Take pains to thoroughly and COM
pletely break your colt, and then by
kind handling keep him SO. Let no one
interfere with your work; or, if not fit
ted yourself for the work, get someone
that is qualified to assist you. A horse
is worth it; or if not, he is not worth
[ having.

Foundations are good, and paths are
good; but they are not enough. Founda-

made to walk in.
There is no time when we should hold
on to the truth as when we fear there is
some danger that is slipping away from

so much by what we do as by what we
do not, that we make others happy. 1t
is keeping the little frown from the

little crossness out of the tones, that we
become substantial blessings to our fam
lilies. Remember that you make people
better as you make them happier. Hap
piness is the means of grace.
