A Horse Thnt Wanted to Ride.

Horses have their little Misunderstanding
as well as men. For instance: When the F.
street cars were going up the hill past the
Baltimore and Ohio depot yesterday morn
ing the ovorgrown boys who sat under the
fence by tho lumber yard, tying knots in their
whiplashes and telling what they will do
when they get rich, got up, and one of them
led his horse out to help the one-horse concern
up the hill with its load of congressman and
press reporters. The horse started for the
tail end of the car instead of the front, and
could not be made to see his duty as
everybody else understood it, He evidently
so far misunderstood the relations of things as
to think the car came along Mt that time to
help him up the hill that was what he had
been waiting there for-to be helped up the
hill. He did not understand that he was to
do any dragging, and he didn't intend to do
any. The boy clankcd the trace chains against
his legs worse than over Oscar Turner canked
trace chains over the heads of protectionists
in the house, but he inclined toward the tail
end of the car all the same, and the last seen
of him the boy was holding up the whipple-
tree as though it were court train, while he
swung twice around and backed up to the
curbstone to watch for another car. The boy
was chagrined, the horse indifferent, while the
people in the car looked on like the lions at
Daniel in their den and "didnt give a good
gol darn" whether the car helped the horse
or the horse helped the car.

Tho Centennial Drncit.

The deficit in tho expenditures over re-
ceipts of the Philadelphia centennial was
Sl7OOOOO. Congress, it will be remembered,
appropriated S1,50O,OO0 TO pay the expenses
but because of some ambiguity in the bill
granting that amount it was never realized.
The board of finance of the centennial have
appointed committee consisting of Hon.
Thomas Dudley and Amos Il. Little, of Phil
adclphia, TO urge upon congress the appropri-
alton of 81 100000 to cover the deficit. These
gentlemen have already made q statement to
the committee on appropriations urging that
it be passed.
Col. j. Il. Peyton, the father of the ccnten-
NAL idea, is in the city, and advocates the
granting of tho appropriation rs a matter of
simple Justice. The centennial he says, did
more to bring the two sections together in
traternal accord than any other event since
the war; 1t made south and north well ac-
quainted with each other and shattered sec
tional feeling so badly that il has not been
able to survive. As an educational agent the
centennial was very influential and sue
cessful. It brought the whole country
into the actual presence of the worlds
art, in its highest condition. and shamed us
into determination to acquire that artistic
training which every other nation had. 1t
stimulated in us n resolution to surpass all
other nations n resolution which is on the
highway of realization. The vastly different
condition of art in this country, both indus
trial and high, since tho centennial, compared
with what existed previous to that event, is
cited by Col Peyton as indisputablb evil
dence of the great value Of the centen-
nial to the nation. One of the glories
of this city is a collection of foreign exhibits,
presented by foreign governments to the
United States, and now forming central at
traction of the National museum. Col. Pey.
ton also insists that as matter Of patriotism
the bill approprlating sufficient to pay Off this
deficit should be passed by congress. The
bill is now in the hands of the appropriation

N1andamus Against Secretary Folger.

Before the supreme court in general term,
rule to show cause was granted on a petit
ton for mandanus filed by Mr.. Earle, with
whom Mr.. Lowndes is associated, for DR..
William j. jenkins, of Beaufort, South
Carolina, against the secretary of the treas
ury, to compel him to pay over to DIR. Jenkins,
as the original of tract of land sold for
direct taxes, the surplus proceeds of said sale.
The appropriation committee of the house,
at tho last session. thought that under the
statute, AZ. construed by the supreme court of
the United States in the Taylor case, no
appropriation was necessary, but that the
secretary could pay on his own warrant.
Entertaining q different view, the secretary
refuses to pay without an appropriation, and
the proceeding is brought to decide this
point.
Another interesting question which arises
in these direct tax cases is whether the orig
inal owner is entitled to recover the surplus
proceeds of sale when the government be-
came the purchaser under the act of Feb
g, 1868, and Mr., Earle has brought a
number Of cases in the court of claims to
procure judicial construction of the statute
relative to the objections raised by the de-
partmont in its construction thereof
