and Asks for Congressional Aid.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3O-.BrigadierG Cen
eral Benet, Chief of Ordinance for the army,
yesterday submitted his annual report. The
expenditures of the department during the
year, including those attending the
sales of condemned stores, amounted
to $2,015,255. The report of the opera
tons at Rock Island arsenal is submit
ted. The erection of shops and store
houses has been conducted economically
and thoroughly and the estimates for the
prosecution and completion of the same, he
says, should receive favorable consideration.
The last appropriation of $4,000 for gen.
eral care, ETC., is not deemed adequate to
the necessities of the arsenal. During the
year SO, 1873 rifles, carbines and shotrguns
have been manufactured at the National
armory. Much has been done in
manufacturing the magazine gun. Cen
eral Benet says the condition of
the coast defenses is a matter of grave con-
Germ. lie called for immediate action and
he hopes that before the end of the ensuing
session Congress will show its appreciation
of these National wants by liberal and
permanent annual appropriation. The de-
partment was greatly embarrassed in its
work of constructing several experimental
guns for armament Notifications by the back
wardness of foreign manufacturers in
meeting their engagements for furnishing
steel forgings and by the inferior quality of
some of the material received and submitted
to test by the department. He says the inn
portance Of Congress taking SONS action to
induce the steel-makers of this country to
undertake the production of steel adequate
to the purposes of gun.making can not be
OYer-eStimated.

UseIessness Of Binders on Horses.

Cylinders, SAYS a writer in OR
Dumb A,sindls, originated in the pride
of persons who imagined their horses
presented finer appearance when pro-
vided with these senseless appendages.
Custom and Ignorance combined in per-
petuating their use, so that to-day prob
ably nineteen twentieths of our horses
are dsfgured by these worse than use
less contrivances, including multitudes
of miserable, broken-down animals en-
ployed in the severer grades of labor,
and which could not, from sheer weari-
ness and lifelessness, be induced to shy,
or run away, by anything short of u
bomb bursting in their immediate vi
cinity.
1.-THE unsoundness of that logic which
insists horses are less frightened by OBJ
jects which are screened from their
view by binders, but which they can
hear (such, for instance, as locomo-
tives), than when they can see just
what the object is, is proven wholly
false by the experience of all who have
dispensed with binders on their ami
mails. 1t is the unseen object which
most terrifies horse. The animal who
will become unmanageable whenmade
10 licc away ilOlii al aPPtooShihs5 VI "'ii,
will quietly stand its ground If allowed
:, to face the object. l know this from
personal experience with many restless
horses.
Cylinders do not prevent horses from
observing each object in front, and
upon each side of them, as they APP
approach it while travelling upon the
road, and hence binders can only
serve to prevent their seeing objects
overtaking them from behind, which is
an end never to be desired l have fire.
auently seen horses shy so violently as
to nearly overturn the vehicle on being
passed from the rear by a noiselessly-
gliding bicycle. which fright would
have been avoided had the animal been
unblindered, and thus aware OF the APP
proach OF the machine.
Cylinders also much diminish the
Ibeauty of a horse, the eye being one OF
its finest features. But the greatest OBJ
lection of all is the cruelty (and in
Jury, as welD resulting from their use.
The vast ma ority of binders are made
nearly flat, so that they commonly
press directly against the eye-lashes and
ewes of the horse, which causes pain &c
the animal, besides frequently destroy
ing its sight. -
IA strongly and earnestly wish there
could be legislation to compel all horse
owners who insist upon using binders
to uses only heavily-convexed ones
which shall not press in the preseH'
cruel manner against the eye-lashes ane
