,. 1t Injuries the horse, not only
in the way described, but the con
fnement of the head in a con-
strained position, while the heart
and Lungs are excited by the work
hinders the breathing and the cir
culatiOn of the blood IN the head.
These effects make the horse un.
comfortable, and he becomes rest

aches and pains him, aud he gets
many a jag and blow just because
his driver cannot understand the

3. The check rein intliets in.
creasing torture upon the animal
in another way. BY holding the
head upward it puts the muscles of
the neck on u constant strain.
They become painfully uneasy and
tired. If the horse cannot bear
it he rests the weight of his head
upon the rein and his mouth is
violently stretched. Thus he only
exchanges one torment for another

Sional life in another must always
be small. In earlier times, when
education was less difiuSed, the
instances were more frequent.
Men of learning and statesmanlike
endowments moved more easily
than now from court TO court.
AgaSsiz among men Of science,
Count Beust among politicians,
and Mr.. Benjamin us a lawyer, are
the only representatives Of the
class whose names occur to MS in
the present generation. When cir
cumStances deny to exceptional
talents their proper native sphere,
il is for the benefit of the common
stock of human intelligence that
its products should not be lost for
want of hospitality elsewhere.
Austria protited by the home it
gave to the statesman from Sax
ony. English mercantile law has
profted by the reception it accor-
ded to the accomplished jurist
from Louisiana. The British aud
American legal systems might gain
by a moderate multiplication of
similar exchanges. Their besett-
ing danger is provincialism, and
the hardening of precedents into
principles. An advocate trained
on one side of the Atlantic trans
planted to the other to practice
before tribunals which have de-
rived their system from common
source with that in which his own
originated is peculiarly keen to
distinguish the accidental from the
essential, and to disinter reasons
buried under assumptions. This
country had the best in the barter
which was actually made at the
period of Mr.. Benjamin's migra-
tion. 1t has no wish to give New
York or Washington an opportu.
nifty of redressing the balance by
any convulsion, such as tossed Mr.
Benjamin on these shores. While
however, the advantage which En-
glish jurisprudence as enjoyed
through Mr.. Benjamin's accept
ance of British citizenship is gladly
acknowledged, 1t may be observed
that American courts on their sid,
are not beyond benefting by thu
introduction to their bar of an En-
glish lawyer approaching Mr.. Ben
jamin in personal character and il
legal gifts.

What Tripc Is.
Washington CAPITAL. |

Washington Capital.
Occasionally you see a man or.
der tripe at hotel, but he always
looks bad, as though he hated him
self and everybody else. He tries
to look as though he enjoyed it,
but he does not. Tripe is indiges-
tiblc, and looks like an India rub
ber apron for a child to sit on.
When it is picked it looks like
dirty clothes put to soak, aud
when it is cooking il looks as tho
the cook was boiling q dishcloth.
On the table il looks like glue,
and tastes like piece of oil.silk
umbrella cover. A stomach that
is not lined with corrugated iron
would be turned wrongside out by
the smell of tripe. A man eating
tripe at a hotel table looks like an
Arctic explorer dining on his boots
or chewing pieces of frozen dog.
You cannot look at q man eating
tripc but he win blush and look as
though he wanted to apologize
and convince you he is taking it
to tone up his system. A woman
never eats tripe. There is not
money enough in the world to hire
woman to take corner of q
sheet of tripe in her teeth and try
to pull off piece. Those who
eat tripe are men who have had
their stomachs play mean tricks
on them, and they eat tripe to get
even with their stomachs, and then
they go and take a Turkish bath,
to sweat it out of the system.
Tripe has q superstition handed
down from former generation Of
butchers, who sold all the meat
and kept the tripe for themselves
and the dogs. But dogs Of the
present day will not eat tripe.
You throw piece of tripe down
in front of a dog, and see if he
does not pnt his tail between his
legs and go off and hate you.
Tripe may have value, but not as
food. 1t may be good to fill into
a burglar.proof safe with the &C.
ment and chilled steel orit might
answer to use as a breastplate in
time of war; or it would be good
to use as bumpers between cars !;
or it would make a good face for
the weight of n pile driver; but
when you come to smuggle it into
your stomach, you do wrong. A
piece of Turkish towel cooked in
axle grease would be pie compared
with tripe.

Threatened Danger.
TTlmes-D -Dcmocrat.l

The defeat of the river and har-
Dor bill in the senate is unfortu-
nate, because some ofthe improve
ments provided for in it-notably
that for the DETECTION of the wat
ers of the Red and Mississippi
rivers from the Atchafalaya-re-
quirc immediate attention.
Every one knows something of
the danger threatening us here,
but few know how immediate it is.
The Atchafalaya has been growing
year after year, until it now promi-
ses to become the main outlet OF
the Mississippi, and to convert the
Father of Waters from Old liver
down shallow tributary. Since

the Mississippi to tho Atchafalaya
and with a fall of over seven feet
in five miles. A large portion OF
the Mississippi now goes down
that stream. It's growth during
the past few years has been at the
following extraordinary rate:

of this levee work, if the levees
are allowed to remain in bad re-
pair or such condition as they
were in a year ago. In this condi-
ton the effect of the crevasses is
to increase the shoals in the chan
mel and make many miles of chan
mel works necessary that would
not otherwise be needed, and this

he cannot throw his weight into
his collar, and is hindered from
giving his BODY That position
which is the most natural and eff.

strength of his muscles only; the
weight of his body is lost, and so
much Of his pulling strength
thrown away. What remains is
exerted at a great expenditure OF
the horses power and health, to
say nothing of his comfort. The
consequence is that his limbs .and
muscles become strained and dis
torted. His knees are bowed for
ward and his hooks backward. If
a man pulls a load By strap across
his shoulder he bends his head and
chest forward and relieved his
legs. A horse does the same
when he can, and ought always.

Increase OF

When the New Orleans Pacific
Railroad began making prepara-
tions to construct q bridge at
Churchville the Atchafalaya was
found to be 40 feet deep there, and
the bridge was arranged for on
that basis. When, however, the
actual work began, another sound.
ing showed that the river had
doubled its depth and was so feet
deep. All the plans of the compa-
ny had to be changed, but another
sounding taken in the meanwhile,
showed that the stream had scour-
ed out its channel to 100 feet--in-
creasing three-fold in a few months
The River commission in 1881 es-
timated that one-sixth of the flood
discharge of the Mississippi had
been diverted to the Atchafalaya.
Since then this this proportion has
been greatly increased: and this
year the increase has been so ex-
traordinary as to threaten to carry
the whole river down the Atcha.
falaya in a much shorter period
than was first thought.
Mr.. Thomas III. a member of
the select committee asserted that
the Mississippi River Commission
had in no wise exceeded its author
ity, and placed himself on record
here and now in favor of the plan
of the Commission, and that, too,
including the levee. Eight men,
bers of the House, after floating
down the Mississippi by night and
in a fog on a freightboat loaded
with empty kerosene barrels and
agricultural implements, came
back and in face of all the expert
ence of the best scientists, had
said, "You should not use the
money for this or that purpose,
because, forsootb, we have been
down the Mississippi river and
know more about it than you or
the Commission The friends of
the pooling companies ofrailroads
proposed to limit this great
national work and strangle it to
death.

lished an article on Canticles' written in an
evangelical or orthodox spirit2 We do not be-
lieve it, and it is one of the best of the maga-

We ought to add that the article in the Gen.

author of 'Canticles' makes the composition
date between B. c. 924 and B. G. 936. The
writer would not have rejected Solomon as the
