The Caleb Cushing Letters.

About 1889, Caleb Cushing desired
to 20 to congress, and party morals had
not 30 far advanced ut that time as TO
admit OF candidate for Office present
ing his own claims. There appeared in
one Of the party organs one or more
letters setting forth the superior quail
fications OF Caleb Cushing. They were
ably written. coucbed in elegant Ian
guage and had Machiavellln flavor
which made them prominent, Unfortu-
nately, however. some one connected
with the Boston Post discovered
striking similarity In the diction and
construction of these letters to the
style 0f Caleb Cushing. and the Post
openly declared that he was the writer
This Gushing hatly denied. The con-
troyersy waxed hot till Cushing's wife.

about $4,000. and with a very large

The entire crop OF the Tinted States is

take kindly to the fruit. and ship load
sent to London few years ago could
not be sold for the cost of carrying.

The Noble Horse.

The record lowering of the speed re-
cord by Westmont and Maud 5. Is an
event of wider interest than common.
and will make the names of horses,
drivers. and owners renowned in places
where those OF the presidential races
excite little or no comment For years
24O' was standard time and when,
twenty years ago the record was
lowered to 2:20 and below. American
turfmen and American horses took
position In the sporting world. Flora
Temple Is q better know mare to-day
than Bucephalus, while Alexander the
Great would no doubt have will
ingly traded his ox-headed favorite
for Jay-Eye-See, and thrown In sixteen
talents(s2O O0O) that King Philip paid
for him TO boot. The fact Is that the
horse Is developed with man: and that
there Is a fitness In the organization of
the needs OF mankind is patent to
to every student of either human or
horse history.

the saddling-ground at EPSON, before

The variations OF the horse under do
mesticatiOn are often quoted To show
the influence of man In producing
varities amounting to even more than
specific differences did they occur in the
wild state. America has no distinct
families Of horses, although, thcse OF
different regions present some pecu-
liarlties. The ayersge. New England
horse Is small. hardy. good-tempered, n
good goer, and tough. Through Vir-
ginia, Kentucky, and the south gener-
ally. the thoroughbred predominates.
Through the southwest we have the
mustang-a small horse formerly Wild
on the plains, and still 30 In South
America--a direct descendant from the
Spanish horses Of the early conquerors.
The Aztecs and Peruvians had no
horses. The magnificent roads of the
Inc as, hundreds of miles In length, were
for foot travel.
Like man, who has tanned and grown
up with the horse. his habitat Is un-
known, and, like all unknown origins.

portrayed on Egyptian monuments

patriarchs the horse has no mention.

genesis of the horse through geological
periods is most complete, and The steps

Huxley says that It amounts TO a de-

TsaO Ju, the minister, is most delieiousiy
absurd old person, and looks like goldfish
He knows about seven words of English, but
has spry young secretary who knows the
whole English language. including the cuss
words. One day, not leng since, Mr.. Ju,
stepping out of his front door, saw printed
yellow slip which. had been left by the gas
man lying in the Testibule. Now, yellow
paper in China signifies the death of very
distinguished person, SO Mr.. Tsao, in much
agitation, sent for the interpreter. The in
terpreter bad gone on to the Theater Co.
mique, and so the legation was left to wrestle
with the gas bill alone. The whole suite was
summoned, and it was concluded that the
President was defunct and this was the OFF,
cial notice. Mr. Tsao Immediately retired to
the drawing room with his suite, had every
window shut up, and placing the gas bill
upon an efigy of Confucius, he and his suite
proceeded to hold a Chinese wake. They
howled in chorus and they howl0d separately
The minister howled for an hour in the blue
petticoat he usually wears, and then changed
it to q yellow petticoat and hovled more vo-
ciferously than ever, while he beat his breast
and tore at his queue. An American lady
employ ed about the Kitchen peep ed through
the door after hearing the hullabaloc. and
seeing the gas bill and knowing the methods
employ ed by the Washington Gas company,
retired, thinking it nothing remarkable that
people should howl over the bills of the
Washington Gas company. A policeman.
| accompanied by section of American youth,
pounded at the tack gate and demanded to
know Who was being murdered by Mr.. Tsae
Ju. The African lady explained that, '"Iisn't
muffin but de gas bill, an OATS huff to make
folks boiler" The policeman, seeing the
reasonablsnsss of this departed. After five
hours of baWling intersperssd with tea, fire
crackers and Chinese hymns, the Interpreter
returnsd-and it was found that instead OF

and Conkling, he has already outlived the
friendship and good will of both these men
and that through no disloyalty of his own.
It was not his fault that, in his more exalted
place. meeting the demands OF great ma.
ton. he found il impossible to fulfill all
the selfish claims and satisfy all the demands
of his personal friends. He was too wise
statesman to dismiss President Garfelds
oficeholders just to fill their places with
Conkling men The nation applauded. but
no less he failed to satisfy his old time friend
and ally, who never forgsve him. Grant like
wise fails to overlook like offsnses and with
in week, in Washington, the hero of the
wilderness has openly declared himself to be
for Logan as his chosen candidate. Both
Grant and Conkling have given proof thas
even the masculine being finds it not always
easy to rise from the preiudice of personal
feeling to universal principle. They are
angry with ttChst Arthur, for forgetting and
failing their personal selves-not with the
President of the United States, who has
proved himself large enough and brave
enough to break the demands of personal
claim to meet and supply the sxigencies of
national issues. The price of his valor is the
withdrawal of their favor Politically,
Chester Arthur is received coolly as candi-
date by his old supporters, because unex-
pectedly they found him strong enough and
astute enough to use power for the gooo OF
his country, rather than for the service OF
/ his friends. Thus we have only to examine
! the conditions which have hampered and OPP
pressed the President from the beginning OF
| his administration to the present moment, TO
see why doing the best was not sufficient to
call forth the enthusiastic support of either
of the conflicting extreme wings of the Re
publican party. This is the sole cause why,
while hundreds praise President Arthur for
doing well, he has not, as a candidate, the
overwhelming support of his party, as
| party. A decorous administration command
ing the respect of all unprsjudiced persons
does not win the ardent support of the self
conferred, self-seeking candidate or his sup
| porter.

burIesque was printed in a journal here
last week, copied from an Italian journal,
which represented President Arthur as the
ladies' candidate for the presidency. So far
as this was meant as an imputation of weak
ness. it was unjust. Doubtless many en- ex-
cellent woman regards President Arthur as
an agreeable as we'll as worthy candidate for
the next presidential term; but this opinion is
shared by large number of excellent men.
Personally, at least, his candidacy is a very
strong one. The President is one who at
tracts strong personal regard from men,
They care for him and care fog his fellowship
and confidence. These qualities have drawn
a very strong personal adherence to him
from some of the best men ia the Republican
party. The country might be astonished
could it know how many enlightened citizens
desire at heart continuance of the Arthur
administration, an administration that has
been characterized by fairness, dignity wide
vision and good will toward all classes As
chief executive, President Arthur has proved
himself 10 be one greater than mere politi-

could have filled q most difficult place with
greater personal credit than he has done; and
