The Dime Entertainment.

Rev. Dr. Gladden., in a recent article on
christianity and Popular Amusements,"
CINE Century-Jan., 1850, says: "Amuse-
ment, like education and religion, is IA real
need Of human beings-not so deep or vital
need as education or religion, but a real
and constant need, and a need of the higher
nature as well as of the lower; an interest
that closely concerns their characters"
Therefore, "The duty of the church." he
concludes, with respect to popular amuse-
ments, is not done when it has lifted up its
warning against the abuses that grow out of
them, and laid down its laws of temperance
and moderation in their use. 1t has posi-
tive function to fulfill in furnishing diver
sions that shall be attractive, and, at the
same time, pure and wholesome"
This, the church people of IrontOn have,
evidently, determined to do. The Presby-
tainment tor Friday evening, January 3Oth,
at the Academy of Music. We do not know
just what the programme is to be, but un-
derstand that the musical feature is to be
prominent one. We have been informed,
however, by good authority, that the humor-
GUS element is not to be left out. Comical
characters in costume are to appear and en-
liven the occasion by many grotesque per-
formances. We doubt not that all lovers of
fun will be fully satisfied during the even
ing. There is only one thing about this
enterprise that we don't quite understand,
and that is how so good an entertainment
can be given for so little money. Ten cents
is an unheard-of price. Undoubtedly a
how 2 .; oil
fear that the hall will be far too small to ac-
cOmmodate all who will desire to attend.
We hope that the entertainment will be a
success in every particular, and yield large
sum of money-which is to be used, so we
understand, in making improvements in the
PRESBYTERIAN church.

Uncle Isaac's Sore Leg.

Ed. Register-1 had careiessly overlooked
DIR. Sawyer's communication in your issue
of Jan. sth. until yesterday 1 heard one of the
children reading it.
The DIR. has put some constructions on my
language which did not have in mind, and
which 1 shall not occupy your space in
further calculating.
The gist of the whole matter was, and still
is, that the expenditure on account Of our
county paupers had been too great-some
$500 during the six months.
The $32 item paid DR.. Sawyer for treating
"Uncle Isaac's sore Leg" was mentioned, not
at all because it was paid to DR.. Sawyer, but
because ssUncie 1saac's sore leg' was so
thoroughly well known by the people of Iron
county during the last dozen years, and be-
cause that item had called forth the most
frequent jokes and comments. allow much
did it cost to build that piece of roads"
ssWhy Uncle Isaac's sore leg cost more than
that" "what did your wagon cost, Jim?
Why, the DIR. didn't charge that much for
poulticing Uncle Isaac's sore 1egs" And so
forth. whereas the special facts were not
known as to the other many expenditures.
requested you, Mr.. Editor, to print the
other SIS Doctors bill to which / referred,
but you have not done so. This is n public
matter. Every taxpayer has right to
know what becomes of his money. The ex-
penditure may be proper; but right or wrong,
all the facts should be known. Those of US
who live distance from the Clerks office,
and so can't conveniently go and examine
the records, have right to have the partic-
ulars published. And as you have always

Draft Horses-4O Years Expert
onCe. s.r.s.s

A. S. Chamberlain, for 40 years proprietor
of the Bulls Head Stables, New York City,
in reference to the values of different breeds
of draft horses, said:, IA 49,
81 keep exchange and sale stables for
horses. Don't deal on my own account to
any extent. All classes of horses, amount
ing to several thousands annually, come to
nv stables from all sections of the country:
A large number of these are draft horses OF
the different breeds, the Clydesdales, the
French horses called Percherons or Normans,
the English and Belgian. There seems to be
a larger demand for the French horses than
for any otker breed. H ~ -
s'Some years ago we used to get great
MANY horses from Upper Canada. These
were Clydesdales, and would weigh from
400 to 1900 pounds, but they did not seem
to answer the purpose; as general thing
their feet were thin-shelled and fiat, and be-
ing heavy horses their feet would become
sore and would not stand the pavements.
The French horses have good feet and stand
the pavements better than the Clydesdales.
That is the reason they sell better.
81 would advise the farmers and breeders
who are breeding horses to sell on the New
York market for draft purposes to breed
from the French horses in preference to all
others. &c Chicago Tribune.
The best horses to be found in France are
recorded with pedigrees in full in the Per-
che-on Stud Book of that country.
At the great importing and breeding es-
tablishmcnt of NJ. w. Durham, Wayne, Du-
Page Co., Illinois, hundreds of the finest
specimens of this famous race can be found
at all times. s. y s

The speed Of an ieeboat propelled by the
wind still puzzles great many people. and
yet there should not be any mystery about 1t.
A little observation made fast to little COM
mon sense ought to be enough to make the
problem plain enough to ANYBODY. Yes, an
iceboat propelled by the wind can travel
twice, three times, probably i've times as fast
as the wind that propels 1t. This feat is ac-
complished by putting the boat on the wind,
or holding her on her course with the wind
abcam: tn other words, sailing her across the
wind current, not with It. When travelling
across that current her sails receive the full
force Of 1t; they are held up to it Just as
though she was stationary, and no matter
how fast she may travel across that current
her sails will draw. For example the wind
blows at the rate OF ten miles an hour. With
that breeze an iceboat on the wind can travel
thirty miles an hour. But change her course.
Put her directly before the wind, and she
slows down Immediately, going trifle slow
er than the wind blows. She cannot 60 fast
er than the wind when running with it, ex-
cept for q short distance after puff, for then
she would run away from her propelling
force, and meet with resistance in front to
reverse the draw of her sails; but when she
crosses the wind current her sails are always
full, and she receives the full force Of the
blast. She does not yield to it by going
along with it, as is the case when she runs
with the wind. This is clearly illustrated
on board the boat in puffy weather. When
running free, say in seven-knot breeze, a
puff may strike her, carrying her along at a
rate of fourteen knots. Then 1t leaves her,
and the wind drops to five knots. But the
she has received from the four
teenknot puff brings her for a short distance
much faster than the five-knot breeze; and
the instant she overreaches it the resistance
comes in front, her sails fill the wrong way,
and her boom often gives striking evidence
to thick heads that an iceboat can 60 faster
than the wind.

Want an Appropriation.

This from the Jefferson City correspond
ence to the Poplar Bluff Citizen:
At 10 O'Clock this morning the clarion voice
of Butler county's representative sounded,
"Mr. Speaker" in reverberating tones. The
Speaker recognized the gentleman from But
maiden speech upon the floor, during which
he presented his maiden bill. The bill recites
the fact that the drouth of 1881, the floods of
1928, the fire of the last ten days, together
with the fact that the Butler county Jail was
destroyed by fire, all 60 to constitute pub
lie calamity to said county within the mean
ing of Section 46 Of Article of the Constitu
ton of the State of Missouri, and wound up
with the appropriation Uf $4,000 for the
erection of a Jail in Butler county, to be paid
upon the order of the county court, attestcd
by the seal of the clerk thereof.
To this complexion can great disaster bring
proud people at last! Alas and alack!
They come to you, Messrs. Legislators, under
the burden of "a great calamity''-uidelicit,
one drouth, in 1881, when it was positively
so hot in Butler that you could 60 without
hannels in July! and so dry that the wheat in
the field had to be cut to save its utter loss! /!
Nay, so fervent the rays of the sun and SO
meager the rainfall that three acres of swamps
in one section, so hardened that the fox
squirrels played over its surface in perfect
security!!! Then, as il the avenging gods
were determined to utterly destroy by water
the remnants of county left by the pitt
less fre-scourge, they caused the rain to fall
so that the swamps were submerged, the
streets of great thoroughfare over1owed
with mud, and the rushing Black rose to such
a height that it even became navigable for
that famous leviathan, "The Bull of the
Woods" This for two successive seasons!!
1t is a matter of record that two acres of good
'bottom" soil and 81 panels Of old Virginny
worm fence were carried away by the devast-
ing element, to enrich the farms of our Sister
State and furnish her people with ready
made rails. a "great calamity" gentlemen!
Three of them, rather-not to mention that
greater than all, the burning Of that hewn-
log domicile for the keeping of the upright.
eous safe from the allurements of the out
side world!
We vote for Morris's bill-providing he
will reciprocate by veting Iron a similar ap-
preparation on account Of her "great calam
ity'-the closing down of the furnaces and
mines. It's just as fair and square propo-
sition as his: in fact, as we believe We can
establish preponderance of calamity" we
would be justified in demanding larger sum
say, SIS, 900!
