That the negroes add to the electoral
vote of the southern portion of the
Union without bringing any strength to
the Republican party IS the foundation
of Mr.. Blaine's recent outcry against
the present adjustment of political
power between the States. That as

sufficient in Mr.. Blaine's opinion to

On Curing a Stubborn Horse.


A Leominster farmer recently broke
bis horse of balky" freak in very
quiet, and, as he claims, not cruel man
ner. His horse is in excellent flesh, and
shows no signs of neglect on the part of
the master. He drove him, attached to
sFrnck-wagon, tothe..wood lot for small
load OF wood. The animal would not
pull pound. He did not beat him with
club, but tied him to tree and slet
him stand" He went to the lot at sun.
set and asked him to draw, but he would
not straighten tug. 81 made up my
mind, said the farmer, "that when that
horse went to the barn he would take
that load OF wood. The night was not
cold. went to the barn, got blankets,
and covered the horse warmly, and he
stood until morning. Then he refused
to draw. AT noon l went down, and he
was probably hungry and lonesome.
He drew that load of wood the first time
/ asked him. I returned and got an
other load before 1 fed him. then re-
warded him with a good dinner, which
he eagerly devoured. I have drawn sew
eral loads since. Once he refused to
draw, but as soon as he saw me start for
the house he started after me with the
load. A horse becomes lonesome and
discontented when left alone, as much

method, if rightly used, is far less cruel,
and is better for both horse and man,
than to beat tho animal with club"

CURED recently in Georgetown, D. G.
The groom, whose mother, by the way,
is an American lady, seemed as if he
could not make the bond secure enough
or shower enough presents on his pretty
American bride. A few days previous tc
the wedding he shocked her by asking
if she would let him have one of her
stockings, and in apologizing for his
boldness when she seemed startled at the
request, added that he wished to put
her Christmas gift in it. As she de-
clined to give him one, when he came
to ratify the civil contract he brought
her a long silk stocking filed with
small gold pieces. He also gave her
pair of solitaire diamond earrings and n
gold band for the front of her head, on
which are set rosettes of diamonds.
This he put on himself after she was
dressed to be married. The officers of
the United States army and navy invited
to the wedding, out of compliment to
Capt. Reynard, who was married in his
uniform, wore theirs on that occasion.
Capt. Reynard had never visited this
country or seen his American relatives
until he came here to be married. He

will sail for Europe January I'd. She

mouth was held near to the mouth piece
of the instrument and the physician
heard its cough. But more singular
than this is the following case of dog
recognizing its masters voice through
the telephones:
Jack is coach dog that found his
master by telephone. In some way
Jack got lost and fortunately was found
by one of his masters friends, who went
to his office and asked by telephone If
the man had lost his dog.
"Yes; where is he" was tue reply.
"He is here. Suppose you call him
through the telephone" The dogs ear
was placed over the ear-piece, and his
master said, "Jack Jack how are you,
Jack?"
Jack instantly recognized the voice,
and began to yell. He licked the tele
phone fondly, seeming to think that his
master was inside the machine.
At the other end of the line, the gen
