Bsftholomew's 20 Educated Horses.


Prof George Bartholomew and his
school Of twenty educated horses, will
open an engagement at the Grand Opera
House, Wilmington, Del. on Monday,
December 10Th, appearing each evening
of that week and on the afternoons of
Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday.
There are many horses in this beautiful
world which were made for man, but
only few, it seems, are destined to have
an education. Prof Bartholomew has
devoted many years Of study to the sub
ject, and taught twenty of the equine
race like so many school children and
soldiers, with such wonderful success
that they tan entertain an audience for
an entire evening. In their display of
remarkable intelligence and perfect ODE
dience everybody is pleased and no one
can find fault with the morals of an actor
who is simply horse. They are grace
full and oftentimes as s'olicsome as kit
tens or fiwns, yet on the alert to obey
their master and instructor by word o.
command.

The PRESIDENTS message was
read in Congress Monday There
was nothing startling about it. 1t
reads smoothly, and as narrative
of the progress of thcnational affairs,
it is all that can be wished for. Mr..
Arthur recommends the stoppage of
the coinage of cighty-fve cent dol
lars and the issue Of silver certifi-
Gates. This is a most timely warn
ing, as the weight of some of the
silver dollars are rather light. The
Philadelphia Record says: st
remains to be said, however, of this
colorless message that there is no
cause of offense in it. Mr.. Arthur
will go out of the Presidency with
the good wishes of the people. He
has served them faithfully, and ha:
shown in large degree that politi
cal deXterity which always make,
the best of an unfavorable situation
His administration has been re
markably free from scandals or i'm
prophecies. His message reveal
him able and decorous to the last.
