One Way to Cure a Balky Horse

A friend, writes to the Taiker thusly:
Il notice you are always ready to say
good word for that noble animal. the
horse. Our neighbor had good horse
"a large, handsome horse. In one
respect he was better than most men, for
he had but one fault, but that was a bad
one, and greatly reduced his cash value.
He would balB, and always Just when
you didn't want him to. My father was a
human and practical man. He happened
to want good horse He offered low
price for his balky horse, and then and
there he became straightway the owner
of the animal For several
days he fed and flattered the horse,
making his acquaintance. Oh pleasant
day he put him before single wagon,
putting newspaper in the seat leaving
the whip in the stable, and starting off
for drive. After going off in good
style about a mile the horse came to a
dead halt and expressed signs of good
long stay. My father quickly took up
paper and perused it. In about one hour
the horse started off in full gallop and
went about mile further, and came to
another halt. The paper was resorted to
far about an half hour, when the horse
started again in full stride. After going
a short distance he headed him toward
home, which was reached in good time.
The next time he repeated the experiment
with only one balk, and that only one
half as long. The third day was a success;
no balk at all. He then passed him to
the teamster, who put him IN with another
horse and worked him six months during
which he was never known to balk, and
not having further use for the horse sold
him for $50 more than he paid"

CLARA BELLE says in the Cincinnati
Enquirer: One of the New York papers
sent correspondent to West Point on
the same errand as myself-to prsbe the
mysteries of female infatuauon with the
cadets and he seems to have come to
the conclusion that it is because the
young men have such slender waists. The
truth is that it is only a small part of it. I
went there and found two big hotels full
of young women and girls, besides the
battalion of women and girls who came
every morning and went away at night,
and in addition to those who stopped at
the officers houses. The first thing did
was to study the girls, because I saw in
one hour that there was nothing remark
able in the mere appearance of the boys.
They are between IS and % years old,
well formed, but with coats too short be>
hind for real propriety, with trousers
that did not fit them, and with absurd
soldier caps on their heads. They are
treated like children, have no peck
cts in their clothes, are not allowed
to have cent of money, are ordered
around like negroes all the while. and
every time you attempt to have few
minutes conversation with them drum
beats or bugle blows, and off they all
scamper like startled covey of ducks,

A Hard Man to Kill.

RICHMOND, Tex, July 1a,-As Hannah
Burton, aged IL was returning from school
Wednesday afternoon, she was met by Web
Hetton, an ex-convict, who attacked, cut
ragged, and then killed her, burying the body
in Johns creek, eight miles from here.
Shortly after the girls clothes were
found, torn, muddy, and bloody. Learning
that Hetton was seen running from the place
a short time before, the neighbors made a
search, and arrested him. He confessed, and
took the party to the spot where he had
buried the body The officers started
to Richmond with the prisoner, with
his hands tied behind him and a rope
around his neck They were met by
an Infatuated crowd, who took the prisoner,
tied him TO tree, and shot fifteen times at
him, when he fell, apparently dead. They
took the rope off and left him After the
party left Hetton got up and went home
dressed his wounds and left. The coroner
went out to hold an inquest, but the remains
had disappeared. Officers are now hunting
for the corpse.

BLAINE has given his letter of accept
ance of the republican presidential nomi-
nation to the world. Tt is lengthy doc
ument, and to read it all through it would
take an ordinary man some time. 1t is
presumed that Blaine has spent many
sleepless nights and days of agony in
writing this letter, and when the reaction
to his strained nerve sets in, we fear that
he will be completely Frustrated. We
will now wait until the wild and untamed

as it has steadily refused them to other

The great scarcity of one and two
dollar ereenbacks will soon be at an end,
as the government has set its printing
presses at the work to print them until
the appropriation therefor is exhausted.
The issues of ones will amount to some
sixty>six millions, and the twos to about
thirty-eight millions, which in addition to
the present circulation is thought to be
ample to meet all present needs.

At the time they were rescued their food
consisted Of boiled sealskin boots cut up fine
and mixed with reindeer moss rock iichens
and small shrimps, and boiled into a soup
The shrimps were so small that it
required from 1900 to 1,400 to weigh
an ounce They made tea from
saxifrago and Arctic willow An occa-
sional aux would be killed, but very few
were secured when killed in the water unless
they were dfifted in by the tide or wind, as
they had been obliged to burn their boat, it
being their only fuel The wood of the boat
was carefully weighed to make it last. The
failure to secure the game after it was shot
only added to their misery. 1t almost made
them insane to see many seal, walrus, duck,
and gulls sporting in the sea before them
while they were starving.
The body of the last man who died at the
camp, Private Schneider, was found just
outside the tent. The party was too weak to
bury him, and he was covered only with his
sleeping bag. For some days after their res
cue the men were in a precarious con-
dition The great joy at their rescue
was followed by depression, both
mental and physical All Of their
minds were weak, and their speech, like
their movements, was very feeble and slow.
The case Of Corporal Joseph Ellison was the
most serious. His hands and feet were gone,
and his greatly weakened condition could
not Withstand the shock. He became insane
few days after his rescue, and died seven
teen days after, July 8, of mental and physi-
| cal exhaustion
