PAGERS and Pacing.

MIR. George Brownell writes from
Liverpool to the 81. james Gazette: 'In
the various remarks which have lately
appeared in your paper on Pacing
Horses, have not noticed any allu-
sion to those of Peru, where that type
of hack has been brought to a perfec.
ton probably unknown elsewhere.
Doubtless this has originated from the
climate, the nature of the country. and
the extensive sandy deserts in which a
trotting or galloping horse, sinking
tetlock deep, would soon exhaust him
self; but apart from practical uses the
gait has there attained the position of a
positive art, and it requires very prac-
ticed rider in that style of riding to do
justice to true 'caballo de paso. There
are at least ten recognized varieties of
the 'paso, or pace, known to the
lnltlated-the 'paso andante,' the .paso
compagnera, etc, The great majority
OF the native horses are PAGERS; but
really first-rate one becomes 9 article
OF luxury, and may command an ex-
travagant price. On some of the estates
great care was devoted to the breeding
OF these horses, many of which
were of extreme beauty. and
their training and biting was a
process to which the greatest patience
and plenty of time was given. | notice
the gait styled artificial. In Peru it
Is not so; true PAGER is born so-he
PAGES naturally, though this NAV be
varied or perfected by education. Trot
he will not; if he can be driven into n
gallop it is at once seen that it is an.
natural to him. But, then, his pace Is
so superior to that of the animal who
has only been taught to pace that there
is no comparison whatever; and it is a
little surprising that so few have been
imported into this country; though this
may be due to his true merit being that
OF Journey horse, for which purpose
he would of course be of little use hero
FOR coaches and for their cavalry the
Peruvians have relied mainly on horses

or sculptor. Yet his instruments sold
for about twenty dollars each. Quite
equal in value, though not in beauty OF
Workmanship to the Strad, are the
violins of Joseph Guarnerius, con-
temporary maker"
''Where is the finest violin in the
world?"
That is matter of opinion. Joa-
chin has noble instrument. So has
Leopold Auer In fact, all the cele-
brated soloists have choice specimens.
The whereabouts and history of nearly
every great Violin is as well known as
that of masterpiece of Raphael One of
the most singular things about violins is
that they have the property ofinteresting
people who cannot play. The two
finest collections ever gathered were
those of Meux, the great English
brewer, and elliott. the steel pen man
ufacturer Neither of these gentle
men could play a lote, and their in
struments were generally unstrung.
Mr.. Waters, of Brooklyn, used to have
two or three superb instruments. They
came, think, from the Plowden col
lection, which was sold in London
about twenty years ago.
ut is strange, too, that bows cannot
be made as well now as they were
nearly hundred years ago. Those of
a Frenchman named Tourte sell to-day
for over one hundred dollars each.
Niolins are now made in enormous
quantities by machinery. Here is one
built on the lines of a fine 'Strad.' 1t
is sound, well made, and quite well
vanished, and l can sell it for five dol
lars"
"How is the tone?''
"Well, to tell the truth, pretty rough
at present, but it will improve each day
the instrument is played on. If it isn't
as good as 'Strad' $50 years from now,
bring it back and I'll return your
money. ~. Y. SIN.

Moderate Prices TO Rule.


The Breeders Gazette says: " 1t is the
opinion of many conservative and OBJ
servant men that we are to have mod
crate prices for almost all agricultural
products for perhaps two or three years.
of course no one can predict prices with
certainty. Any one of several causes
may produce high prices, but the prob
abilities are that, with average crops in
our own and other countries and the
prevalence of peace, prices for all great
staples will be lower than they have
been for two or three years past In
the line of live stock, this country has a
full stock of all classes-horses, cattle,
sheep and swine. Good prices have
caused increased attention to breeding;
there have been no destructive epidem-
les among our animals. and, pretty GER
tainly, larger number of females have
been bred this year than in any former
one. There is no need for discourage
ment. but we do not advise any one to
heavily involve himself in debt, looking
to great profits as a means OF paying"

Autumn BOnnets.

The first importations of autumn and
winter millinery consist of felt and vel
vet bonnets and round hats. Plush is
out of favor for bonnets, and is not even
shown for trimming. The dark, heavy
straw bonnets now used will be worn
late into September, to be followed by
fine fur felts, and after these velvet bon
nets will be put on to wear throughout
the winter. Dress bonnets and those for
general wear in city streets are quite
small, and many have slight coronet
rolled back from the 'front.' this is to be
covered smoothly with velvet, or with
the new tufted silk bindings that resem-

The Kent County Levy Court has
been in session two weeks and will
probably hold over one more week.
The delinquent lists were returned
last week, and we are Informed they
amount to several thousand dollars.
Some hundreds alone having nearly
one thousand dollars in poll taxes re-
{ rned, which the Levy Court is bound
to allow. The collectors, we doubt not,
do not try to collect many Of these
taxes, because of the fear of unpopu-
Iarity and for party causes. This is
one burthen that the real estate holders
are groaning under, and one that is in
famous. Every man shopld be COM
PELLED to pay his tax, and thus re-
lieve part of the load from other tax
payers In these days, when men
walk up to the polls and sell their right
of franchise without any eompunction
of conscience, theact Of dropping their
names from the assessors list has no
terror for them. Do they not virtual
IS sell their right of franchise for the
small amount of their tax FOR two years?
The CHRONICLE regards this as simply
an inducement to thousands, whose
patriotism is so infnitesimal that it
can not be discovered, to barter their
fights for money equivalent Ifthis
legislature had the pluck to repeal the
law on this subject they would do the
State more justice than by increasing
the representation Of New Castle
