The Walking Horss.

The country would reap incalculable
benefit if the walk of its ordinary horses
could be accelerated a single mile per
hour beyond what is now. general 1t
would put millions of dollars extra into
the national pockets every year. We
might have horses which would walk
five miles an hour just as naturally and
easily as three to three and a half, and
rarely four. as is now the rule. All the
farm and much of the country road and
town street horseworkais done st swalk
1t costs no more to feed smart street
walker than it does slow, logy one, and
frequently, not so much. Now, let any
one calculate the profit and advantage
Of using the former in preference to the
latter Let the farmer see how much
more land per day he can get plowed
and narrowed; hew many more loads of
hay, straw, grain and vegetables he can
take to market; and how much more
rapidly he is able to accomplish all his
other work. and he will have little pa
tience in keepingsa slOw-walking horse
any longer. 1T viii be the same with the
expressman, and teamster, and the truck
man.
Bellfounder. got by the celebrated i'm
ported trotting horse of his name, out
of Lady Airport, was not only fast trot-
ter, bnt- had natural easy walk of five
miles per hour. He was kept by our
family several years, and nearly all his
stock, ont ofquite common mares, prov
ed excellent walkers. This shows how
easily and rapidly an increased fast-walk-
ing stock may be bred by farmers, it
they will only take due pains to select
the stations to whichthey may hereafter
nick their mares. A fast-walking horse
commands a considerable higher price
with those who care for the pace than a
SLOW walker, and such buyers are con
stantly on the increase now, and that
day will come by and by when slow
walker will hardly get a bid. The
fastest walk that / have yet seen ex-
actly timed and placed on record, was
that of the English horse Slove- He
made, without extra effort 5. 6g miles per
hour. All agricultural societies should
give good premiums to fast walking
horses, the highest price to be awarded
to the one which walk five miles per
hour; the second to four and one-half
miles; the third to four miles. The last
should be least time for which to award
a prize, and all breeds should be allow
ed to compete N. Y. Tribune.

A Oountryman Who Had Read the Papers.


A thrifty-looking countryman, prob
ably sixty years of age, bent on seeing
all that was on view in the shop windows
and the streets, attracted aslar@ crowd
when he reached Murray street and
Broadway Yesterday Morning, said the
New York Tribune recently A young
man dressed in the height of fashion
and wearing a tallsilk hat walked up to
the countryman and putting out his
hand in, a friendly manner, said:
How do, Mr.. Davis; glad to see you,
How's the folks at homep''
The countryman looked over the
young man carefully, and being satisfied
that he could take care of himself, made
a movement as if he was about grasp
ing the young mans hand, but instead
of SO doing he tool him by the coat coll
lar, faced him sbout so that he looked
upon the city hall park, held him firm
~ in position and then gave him a kick
which sent him sprawliSg into the street.
Another young man, evidently "a friend
of the assaulted youth, rushed up and
demanded to know the trouble. The
countr4fman had become warmed by this
time. and endeavored TO inilict punish
ment on number two, but he escaped
The countryman then quietly walked
away, muttering to himself. Il hahn
been reading Che papers nighs0nto forty
years for narthing. and theIn confident
men must try a new ganle when they
scoop in this old sinner.

Green. Mrs &freen is o ladys55 years OF
age. who felt aggrieven because of two
scurrilous attacks made upon her business
and reputation by The 2zcei1t enterprise,
and because of the refusal of Scott to
make any refracfion after she had visited
him and represented that the publication
about her was wholly false. At the
moment that the constables entered the
court room with their prisoners the aged
lady was not present, but returned in a
few moments. The alleged criminal
iibelers were then standing against the
railing of the judicial bar. in conjunction
with Thomas Major, a constable, and
smiling blandly upon Justice Prindiville.
The smiles of unconcern played over
their managerial faces like the ripples
upon a zephyr kissed sea, pretty little
deceivers, pTemenitory-of the storm. The
lightning like changeablcness of facial
expression was never better demonstrat
ed than in the eyanescence OF those
wreaths of POPULARITY. The appearance
on the scene of an old lady, the utterance
of word, ard the smiles vanished into
concealment behind
CURLING LIPs OF scoRN
and furrowed brow Another word or
two, a tremulous expression of outraged
reputation. touch of rawllide, and the
repulsive looks of scorn changed to an
agony of fear. To be thus publicly cas-
tigated with the most disgracing weapon
known to avengers of insults, and by a
woman-an elderly woman at that-was
a mental sting more acute than the cutting
lashes of the rawhide, and in one second
three columns and half of solid matter
could be read in the faces of the cowhid
ed business manager and principal vicar
ious stakeholder.
They were just about to sign bond
for the continuance of the case against
them, when Mrs. Green stepped up to
MIR. Scott and, her lips 4uivering with
suppressed excitement. said:
You are the. manager of that vie
sheet that assaults the characters of re
putable men and defenseless women. are
you?
The business manager turned partially
and with all the disdain that tile rotun
dity of his 300pound frame could lend,
looked a whitening look and remained 81
lent.
"You ought to he ashamed of your
selves, both OF you. l am old enough to
be your mother, and you ought TO be cow
hided for your outrageous assault upon
my character.
Then suiting the action to the word,
She drew largc-sized cowhide from the
folds of her dress and struck the business
manager on the cheek. Again the ter
rible weapon descended upon the short
and corpulent b. M, who cried out to the
court for protection, and squirmed
around until he succeeded in remember
ing his boyhood fightss-and closing his
ayes. let out with his right hand, which
struck the lady on the cheek. Lawyer
