The Care OF Horses.

The temper and usefulness of horses
depend far more on the treatment they
receive than may generally be sup
posed. Abundance OF good food is not
by any means all that a horse wants or
needs. Cool keep and good manage
ment combined. will, it is asserted, I'M
prove the appearance of even the nat
nrally poorest breeds of horses. The
Arabian steed, captured in his native
wilds and transferred to rich pastures,
will incre use in size and strength. The
physical proportion of the be lutiful lit
| tie Welsh pony and the docile, rough
coated little Shetland horseg will grow
higher than mastiff dog if you feed
them we'll. Even that semblance OF
horse, the most diminut.Ve of any known
] species of the equine ra c. the Chinese
pony, an animal as small asa Miles ans
opinion of its master, has been known
to be enlarged in physical proportions
by being fed regularly and well; but of
what further Improvement might have
! been made in the brute by kind treat
ment, gentle handling and Seeptng hln1
clean. we have no record. If it be true
that cleanliness is next to goodness in a
man, the presumption is admissible that
| is may have a very beneficial influence
on the spirit of a horse. The horse is
naturally clearly an NAL and to keep
him otherwise than clean is to keep him
IN misery Without food animal life
cannot, as matter of course, be sus-
! tanned, but next to the art of
feed ng comes the necessity of venti-
lation and thorough cleanliness in the
stable. Continual neglect of his skin
and coat begets irritability in a
horse, and constant irritability takes
the flesh off the bones. Less
oats and hay will keep a horse in fine
physical condition, if the currycomb is
| literally used, than where the latter is
neglected. To any rule of observation
or anything else there are always nota-
! BILE exceptions and it may be to some
little extent hazardous to conclude that
a farmers neatness, economy and pros
perty can be correctly guessed, if not
positively Judged, by the condition of his

Morgan's Men-Tbe Contrast.


Al the recent reunion of Morgan's men
at Lexington, Ky, Captain d. b. Tiffany,
of Xenia, Ohio, formerly at camp Chase,
was presented with an elegant gold headed
cane by the ex-prisoners of the command.
The old captains tender sensibillty and
manly courtesy gained for him the admir-
aiion and love OF ihe prisoners, and they
could not forget him when they met TO
enjoy themselves. A correspondent speaks
OF tile presentation scene as a dramatic one,
and says that the veteran federal postmas.
ter was received with an oIdtime rebel
yell that fell upon ones ears like relic
from some old Virginia battlefield. As
he looked upon the hundreds OF faces Of
his oldtimes, and knew that lie was their
most honored guest, he was completely
overcome with emotion, and when he re-
ceiyed the cane with tears in his eyes and
his heart in his throat lie sobbed out: II
cannot sptak. but II there is people God
should hold close TO his bosom 1t is you l''
Az this point the rebel yell was not raised
and strong men turned away to wipe their
eyes, yoiceless because they dare not try TO
shout. Captain Tiffany carried his cane
home TO Xenis, where he will show II Ia
his neighbors with an honest pride and
tell them "Morgan's horse thieves" have
the hearts OF men, and know that to be
good and generous does not depend upon
the color OF one's coat.
