Singular Accident t. q Horse.

Last Tuesday Charles Cannon, resid.
ing near Coooh's Bridge, lost valuable
horse in very singular manner. He
was bringing the animal out to hitch
him up, and stepped into the granary
to pick up something, when the horse
stopped his head to bite the grass. As
be done 30, the bride rein slipped over
his head and he stepped on 1t. Before
Mr.. Cannon could get to him he reared
up, and fell over backwards, breaking
his neck. He was valued at $225.

The standing army OF the empire consists
of 40, 600 men, the reserve Of 81, 900, and
landwehr, or territorial reserve, of 100, 900.
All these troops are dressed and equipped
in Euro can fashion, and they are at pres

partly with sniders. A new RE, how

will shortly be ready for issue 1t com.
bines the merits of the Gras, the Chase

highly both of its principle and Of its
workmanship.
In Japan service is obligatory, the con

The Stain OF Blood.
fIan,Ia,,an Nano,i,a

The general opinion Is, of course, that
no soldier in his military capacity can be
guilty of murder, but opinion has not al.
ways been 50 fixed, and it Is worth motto
ng that in the forms of civilization that
preceded our own, and in some existing
modern races of lower type than our own,
traces clearly appear of u sense of wrong
attaching to any form of bloodshed what
ever, whether of fair battle or OF base
treachcry calling alike for the purifying
influences Of expiation and cleansing.
In South Africa, for instance the
Basuto returning from war pro
the nearest stream, to purify not
only his own person but his iaveins and
his battle axe. The Zulu, too, practices
abiutions on the same occasion, and the
Lechuana warrior wears a rude kind of
necklace, to remind him of the eXpiation
due from him to the slain and to dispense
the dreams that might otherwise trouble
him and perhaps even drive him to die of
remOrse.
The same feelings NAV be detected in
the Old World The Macedonians had
peculiar form of sacrifcatory publication.
which consisted in cutting dog in bali
and leading the whole army, arrayed in
full armor between the two parts. AS
tne BH Otl0nS ilau tne same custom, II was
probably for the same reason 1T Rome
for the same purpose, sheep and a bull
and pig or boar were every year led
three times round the army and then sac
rficed to Mars. In Jewish history the
prohibition to King David to build the
temple was expressly connected with the
blood he had shed in battle. In old Greek
mythology Theseus held himself unfit,
without expiation, to be admitted to the
mysteries of Ceres, though the blood that
stained his hands was only that of thieves
and robbers And in the same spirit
Hector refused to make libation to the
gods before he had purified his hands
after battle.
