Louisiana Fossil Horses.

The remains of fossil Eorses are found
in almost all portions of the world to
such an extent that the geographical
distribution of these animals must have
been almost universal at certain geo
; graphical epochs. The. history Of the
tsomestication of the horse is now
pushed back into ages of antiquity once

famed the horse some $4,000 years be-
Tore CHRIST: and Zabor1wstli, in his re-
nlarkable essay upon ss1'he Migration
of Animals, states that the Chinese or
/ their ancestors had learned to train the
horse no less than 1900 years before
But geology has traced back the his
tory of the horse much further; in
FACET, beyond the period at which the
horse assumed its present form and into
ages during, which it had a totally diff

OF the single hoof. There is no miss
ing link in the eyoiutional history of
the animal back to the eocene strata.
I The horse dates back from the period
of the tertiary epoch. During the quar-
teraary era it Is supposed that almost

Did Bob Think?

Bob was an old horse on my great-grand-
fathers farm. He was a very clever horse;
but it is not so much for his cleverness as for
one thoughtful thing which he did, that his
name has been handed down to us who live
so long after him, and who never saw him.
He was very fond of children the boys
who lived near used to have many pleasant
game with Bob on sunny afternoons when
he was grazing in the fields or by the road
side. Sometimes they chased Bob, and
sometimes he chased them; and it was
funny sight to see the old horse running after
a troop of boys, uttering peculiar whinny,
which said as plain as words could say it,
Isn't this real fun, boys?"
One day Bob was coming slowly through
the one long street Of the village, dragging Il
loaded cart behind him. There, right in the
middle of the street, II little child was sprawl
ing in the dust. No one noticed it until Bob
and the cart were close upon it. Was the
child to be trodden beneath the horses feet,
or crushed beneath the broad wheel of the
cart? No, Just rs the mother rushed out of II
doorway with shrek, Bob stopped down,
seized the child's clothing with his teeth, and
laid the little one on the foot-path out of
harms way. 1t was done tenderly, quietly,
and it was over in amoment. Then the wise
horse went on rs if he had done nothing
surprising.
Do you wonder that we keep Bob's men,
ory green? And isn't his thoughtfulness q
lesson for the little boys and girls whose com
mon excuse for carelessness which Injuries
others is, II didn't think ?" Bob thought :;
and his thinking saved child's liie.-Einest

Carving the Chicken.
The Embarrassing Duties that fall upon
the III Ost.

When at last the work of carving is done,
the delicate and difficult duty of "helping"
begins. There can be no peace of mind for
the man who helps his family and his oc-
casional guests to any food, except soup or
oysters, both of which can be accurately and
fairly divided. In the case of chicken he can
never give satisfaction. There is no rnle in
this matter, beyond that of giving the chick
en-. legs to the boys, which can be followed.
To ask people what part of the chicken they
prefer is simply madness. Either everybody
tells the TRUTH and demands the best cut in
which case all but one will be exasperated by
failing to have their wish gratified or every
body will reply, "any part" "it makes no
difference" or words to the same mendacious
and aggravating effect. OF course, when the
man who says lit makes no difference" is
helped to anything but the breast, he becomes
an enemy of the carver for life, and nothing
can disabuse him of the impression that he
has been wantonly insulted 1t is far better
to boldly help people without making any
pretense of consulting their wishes They
will then regard the carver as a rude and
careless host; but they will acquit him of any
intention to press open insults upon his guests.
Perhaps the most difficult person to deal
with is the lady who says she "prefers leg"
In the presence of this most trying person
the carver is almost certain to make mis-.
take. The chances are that she abhors
chicken legs, and expresses, for the sake of po.
likeness, an alleged preference which she con-
fidently expects to be dsregarded. To help
such one to leg is to abuse her confidence
and secure her undying hatred. On the
other hand, if she is one of those rare women
who really have an abnormal fondness for
legs, she feels herself outraged if legs are
withheld from her, and decides that the car
yer is a selfish brute, who has not sufficient
decency to respect adys wishes. We shall
never know how many happy homes have
been broken up, how many friends estranged,
and how much miscellaneous misery has
been suffered merely because the duty of
carving has been placed in the hands of the
fathers of American families

Letter from the West.

MCCoNNELsvILLE, ONO.
McConnelsville, the county seat of Morgan
county, is Il thriving village of 1000 inhabi-
tants, situated upon the east bank of the
Muskingum river, about fifty miles above its
mouth and twenty miles below Zanes-
Vile, from which place it is reached by slack
water navigation.
INDUSTRIES, &C.
The leading industry is the manufacture of
tobacco, several large firms being engaged in
this business. The shipping of wool, of
which there is great quantity, forms anoth-
er large industry second to tobacco manufac-
turing In addition to the above may be
mentioned two large Touring mills, sash fac
tory, &c. Besides several fine residences, the
town can boast of $4,000 court house,
town hall, an opera house, sew
eral fine churches, an academy costing up
wards of $4,000, several public buildings of
lesser note and, shall | mention it-a brass
band.
The manufacturing products and agricul-
tural produce are carried away by an estab-
lished line of boats plying between this point
and GAINESVILLE and other places upon the
river.
There is every indication of an approach
ing railroad, as four different Surveys of as
many different roads have been made, and
the contractors promise us that work will
be commenced by the first of the coming
month.
CANNED GOODS.
A great quantity of canned fruit is con-
sumed in this town. Among the lot notice
the brand of some of our Hartford packers,
viz, The Red Cross Brand, Wells 81 Osborne,
of Aberdeen, VIM. Jewens, of Carsins' Run,
and Others The above fruit seems to give
general satisfaction.
THE SOIL
| in and around this place is of limestone quail
ity, being of three different Species the blue,
| magnesia and fossil. Coal is also very plen-
tiful, banks of it being found upon nearly
every farm.
The farms vary in size from fifty acres up
wards, the majority of them being in a high
state of cultivation. There being no fertiliz.
ers to buy, consequently farming can be car.
ried on with less expense than in the east.
Wheat this year was a failure, many farm
ers not reaping more than five bushels per
acre Wool is worth from 80 to 33 cents per
lb. DIR. DYNAMITE.

Better the love of a genial heart than beauty g

Better the roses living seed than roses In crowd.
Better to love in loneliness than to bask in love

Better be fed by mothor's hand than eat alone at

Better to trust in good than say, my goods my

Better to be a little wise than in knowledge to

Better to teach child than toll to fill perfections
round.
Better to sit at masters feet than thrill listen

Better to suspect that thou art proud than be
sure that thou art great.
Better to walk the real unseen than watch the

Better the "Well done T. at tho last than the air

Better to have quiet grief than hurrying

Better the twilight of the dawn than the MONDAY

Better death when work. is done than earth's
most favored birth;
Better child moods great house than the king

Frustrated, debilitated, and enfeebled.
People have been heard to say, under
such circumstances, that they would
not give the toss of a copper for the
choice between life and death. But

back, and says he does not want to
die. Life is very precious, and even
to broken-down man it is worth

What can be the object in delaying

What can be the object in delaying
the trial of Indian Agent Tiffany?
The manifest unfairness of such, a
proceeding should cause an entire
withdrawal of public confidence from
the us. District Attorney for Arizo-
ma. Mr.. Tiffany lives in New York
and has his business there. He has
travelled from there here twice in or
der to get the matter settled, and has
each time had to submit to the unfair
ness of continuation. 1t looks as if
the government had no case. If Mr..
Zabriskie were confident of success,
there is no doubt but what he would
have pushed the Agent to the wall
long ago; but he has no case and does
not want the trial to take place, At
the time that the United States Grand
Jury found their unwarrantable in
dictments against Col. Tiffany, there
was considerable excitement upon the
Indian question, and Mr.. Zabriskie
thought he would ride upon the sur
face of it into some snug official har-
Dor, but he will find himself mistaken
he will be swallowed up by rude
wave that must forever hide him."
