4 Chapter on Horses.

4 Chapter On Horses.
THE VARIOUS ARAB BREEDS AND SOME OF
THEIR CHARACTERISTICS.
From the st. James Gazette.
The various kinds of horses seen in Persia
are the Turkoman, the Karabagh, the pure
Arab, and the Shiraz or Gulf Arab and their
crosses These are the horses of breed The
Turkoman horse is tall, bony, and ungainly
animal, often over seventeen hands high,
never under fifteen. The head is large and the
lcng have no barrel and
short, is either entirely shaver or burned of,
and the tails are very scanty: But the

100 miles q day for ten days. To the Turko-

chance In the market with his more handsome
rival the Australian bred horse the handsome,

as an officers charger as IA cavalry remount:
while, if with good shoulder, he frequently goes
into the artillery.
The Arab is too well known to need descrip-
ton; he Is everything that can be desired in a
horse; his only weak points are want of size aud
daintiness; his teInpcr is angelic: he is usually
gray in color. The Gulf Arabs so called In

sian gulf, are cross between big Persian mares

Paris Letter TO London Times.
In the notes of the Berlin Congress find the
following remarks by Prince Bismarck on the
late Gen. Grant then on q visit to Berlin, which
for more than one reason deserve to be recorded:
II was glad to see Gen. Grant The new
papers stated that had teen to see Lord Bea-
consfleld, when in reality had made q call on
the General. 1t was surely natural that when
Gen. Grant passed through Berlin should show
alacrfty In visiting him, for, after all, an ex-
President Of the American republic Is some
thing out OF the common.
81 expected to find a man rather inflated. In
stead OF this found an unassuming and rather
shy man, fond Of asking questions, nxious for
information, very observant speaking with
great propriety. and exactly my ideal of great
citizen retired from office.
"He had to endure vexatiOn at the review
which We had arranged. His doctor had forbid
den him to ride and he had to witness the review
In closed carriage and well wrapped up. This
was very annoying to him. But said to him;
DO not distress yourself. Our soldiers know
who you are and when mans name is Gen.
Grant he can attend a review In a carriage with
out impairing his reputation as great soldier
saw this pleased him."

the Brigade.
Gen. Allen, Capt. Wheeler, Capt.

this our first social camp fire. =.
Comrades will report at Brigade
Headquarters, in the Rotunda of the

A cordial greeting awaits the mem

when we laid down the weapons of
war and resumed our places as cit
izens of reunited Republic.
Sergt. Geo. Jeuck is appointed in

CAT raising seems to be an indus
try in some farming sections ad-
joining here, at least we should
think so from the manner in which
a country lass drove to town in the
evening not long ago with bag
full of cats, and when well within
the city limits opened the mouth of
the bag and let them loose. Who
soever misinformed the young lady
as to the multitude of rats in our
midst, should be jerked up and made
to chase the cats to death. Of
course the thoughtfulness of the
young lady is duly appreciated.

Mem o11aI obs eryanc es.

Even though the weather was
quite unfavorabe the services in
memory of General Grant held in
this city on Saturday were largely
attended. In consequence of the
rain all morning the grove was not
to be resorted to, and instead the
fine audience room of the NJ. K.
church was secured. At one O'Clock
p. m. all prominent business houses
in the city closed their doors, and a
procession formed in front Of the
City Hall headed by the drum corps
and cornet band. Upon the order
of march the procession proceeded
up High Street, which was extensive
ly draped, to the church. After an
opening by prayer and music follow
ed the memorial services of the &.
A. r. Post of this city. Then came
addresses by the Revs. NJ Chase and
w. J. G. Bond, John Commings,
Esq, and Hon. 7. S. Ansley. The
great value and beautiful life of the
dead chieftain were portrayed in a
plain and unpretentious manner by
the different speakers. Mr.. Bond
delivered a well prepared address
which was very pleasing and much
complimented, while Mr.. Chase
spoke off hand in his entertaining
style and made numerous good
points which if needed will prove
of benefit to the hearers, especially
the young. Mr.. Commins presented
few remarks which had been pre-
pared on short notice; they were
scholarly aud credit to the occas-
sion. Mr.. Ansley then followed in
an impromptu style, because, as he
said, those who preceded him had
carrie d ont his line of thought, and
he preferred entering upon a new
field rather than burden his hearers
with a repetition. His appreciation
of the dead general together with
that of the entire world, was of the
highest order.
The closing services of the Post
followed the addresses. Choice
appropriate and well rendered sing
ing by members of the M. E. and
p. NJ. churches were interspersed.
Considering the oppressive heat
and wet weather the event was in
deed successful.
