A Jealous Little Horse.

Mr.. N. 6. Lynch, Superintendent of
Sheepshead Bay Race Course, related
an incident that occurred while he was
connected with Massachusetts, battery
during the rebellion, showing the strong
jealousy of a horse. He rode little
horse that was equal to all emergencies
and possessed of remarkable strength
and STAYING powers. He had become
attached to the animal, and, although
frequently requested to change his
horse for larger one that would APP
pear more warlike and more in proper
ton to his own great size, he invariably
refused to part with his faithful and
tried companion.
AT last hissuperior officer commanded
him to take a charger which he named
and retire the lighter horse. The rules
OF war obliged HIM to obey the order.
When he first appeared with the bat
terry on the new horse the little fellow
was picketed near by. Falling back on
his launches he pulled himself loose.

Making Bessemer Steel Rails.

Bessemer steel is produced from pig

for making castings 1t is the COMMON
practice to melt the iron in the convert

commingling of the various qualities is
obtained, but the iron is Sometimes
brought in the melted state directly
from the blast furnaces in which it has
been made, in large ladies mounted ON
trucks running on elevated tracks into
the converting department. The ladle
must in either case stand at consider
able height from the general level, that
the melted metal may flow through
suitable troughs into the converting
vessels" and the cupolas are placed
still higher. so that the iron may run
from the cupolas into the large ladle.

Mary and Dog Carlo.

Little Mary and her great black New
foundland dog, Carlo. were a very
familiar picture to me.
l often stopped to look at them as
they ran about the yard. If it is q
warm afternoon, they lay asleep under
the large evergreen trees. Mary's light
curls made lovely contrast to Carlos
shaggy black sides. His loving gentle
ness made him seem as good as he was
handsome.
Little Mary had naughty habit of
running away from home. Carlo
would not leave her for a moment.
He seemed to try to get her home again.
He ran before her, keeping her from
getting of the walks, and trying to coax
her to turn about. Sometimes he would
succeed, and then I heard his joyful
bark when he saw her once more safely
in the yard. If he could not get her
home, he would never desert her.
When she was tired out she laid her
curly head against his neck, ready to
go wherever he led. Then you may be
sure he led her home just as straight as
he could go. -st..
One day, when I came out of the
gate, Carlo met me, barking and jump
ing about in most anxious manner.
He ran little way and then came back
to me, as If coaxing me to follow him.
I thought him too wise a dog to be mis-
taken, so followed him, though little
slowly. He seemed to notice this and
to beg me to hasten. In moment
more l saw dear little Mary toddling
along the railroad track. -
1 felt sure that the dogs quick ears
must have heard the train, which was
coming around the curve. I hurried
fast enough, can tell you. Carlo had
never before allowed me to pick her up.
even for moment. Now he seemed
fairly wild with Joy when l caught her
in my arms. He led me home in a
perfect dance of delight.
After that l was privileged friend.
for CARO- never forgot that morning.
To the day of his death he thanked me
in his mute, loving way every time he
saw me.-lkrs. Frances Smith, IN Our

The Law passed at the last session of
Congress, which abolishes the stamp tax on
matches, proprietary medicines and bank
checks went into effect yesterday. Matches
ought to be cheaper now. They have retailed
Tor the past few years at about 90 cents a
quarter gross. As SO cents will be taken
Oh the cost of each quarter gross by
the new law it will be seen that the reduc
ton in the price should not be small
There is another circumstance which will
nave a tendency to reduce the price OF
matches. Owing to a peculiar feature of the
stamp law, the manufacture of matches has
oeen in the hands of few large companies
who have manipulated the BUSINESS to suit
themselves. Now that the tax is removed the
result will be that a large number of smaller
manufacturers will spring up, competition
ensue and prices fall.

A Model Brick.TArd.

One of the busiest places in the city is Nor
ton Purrington's brick-yard located on the
upper Belfast road about a mile from Water
street. Operations are under full Roadway
there at the present time, and for the crew of
seven men which is employed more bricks
are probably manufactured than in any
other yard in the State with the same
number of men. The average number
turned out is from 10000 to 10000 day.
At one time in two half days this crew struck
off $1,000. The quality of the brick is first
class, they being quite free from holes and
other imperfections. They are what are
called Portland faced brick. A kiln contain
ing about $4,000 will be fred shortly
after the Fourth. Six arches are already up.
and three more only remain TO be filed in.
There are enough bricks now struck of in the
ward to complete the kiln. These bricks are to
be used in the construction Of the new build
ing at the Hospital. Everything about the yard
is convenient and arranged in such manner
that everything runs like clock-work Mr..
Richard +. Carr, who is thoroughly acquaint-
ell with the business and one OF the pest
brick. makers in the State, has charge of the
ward A short distance from the kiln is a
boarding house where the men are boarded,
Mr.. Charles Sylvester being proprietor.
