RYSDIK,S HAMBLETONIiN.
i. (New York Sun. !,

MT. w. M. Vail told group of Port Jervis horsemen about the origin of the Hambletonian trotterS the other day, and an interesting story. 1t ( is as reported in the Union of that village Accounting to Mr. Vail the Hanlbletonian stock came from running. horses, notably from the Abdallahs, which were bred around Gosh- ep aud Ch.ster for years The Black Hawks, Stars and Cluys were favorites thereabouts for years. Tie Hambleto- nians wer not great trotters at first. AL though somewhat speedy, and of fine phy
 sique, holsemen d1d not take kindly to them. sa g 4s5r
 h 1858 the Kentucky breeders and rae IS h, ard of the Hambletonian. They wanted to cross the stock with their great racers. They came to Goshen. Old man Rysdik had the orlglnal HambletonIan then, and 8 son known as the Edsali horse I was owned by Seeley Edsal of the Occi- dental hotel at Goshen. Father and son were both young. After looking around some time, the KentuckIaus bought the Edsall horse for about s, 900. This was considered an enormous price for horse.
 This WAS just before the war. About 1860 three or four year old Hambleto- nian got into the hands of jockeys at Coney Island The horse was called Ell lingham, and afterward George Wilkes. He made 2.26, the best time then on rec. ord. Immediately everybody wanted Hambletonian stock. The horse was g son of the Edsall horse ya6.se@ zs,...s

 wife was in terrible state of mind. Rvs dix was poor, had mortgage against hi farm, and needed the money, and bis wifi

 The next day we returned to Rysdik's
 He and his wife were walking the floor : Neither had slept wink that night.s
 never saw people in such state of menta distress. He refused to take 8 cent les
 than $25, ,0OO; I could give him but $20 B 900. 'Well,' I said, that settles it. An it did. The woman was in mysteries, an both were almost beside themselves.

Next day went at the job, and had just got a cartridge tamped down in the first stump when 1 saw man drive up to the house. That was nothing to bother over, hawever, and Ilighted the fuse and ran around the barn to await the explosion. I had only got in place when I heard a voice calling: -+ ..r-s> F. --,-.
 'Ah there, Sharp !! want to sell you the best washing machine ever made P It was the chap who had driven up, and my wife had sent him out to hunt me up. He was within ten feet of the stump when he called. I had tWo-minute fuse on the cartridge when I heard his volce, and I c lied back:

There is in Sumter county, Ga., cer- tain pond or swamp of 100 acres or more The water is very shallow and grass grows luxuriantly ini Here horses and cattle love to feed and ducks congregate in great numbers. They dos not fear the horses and cattle, but are shy when a man is around. Jim Murray thought that by hitching his horse to a flat -bottomed boat he could drive all oyer the swamp and kill no end of ducks. The plan worked well at first. E. The horse drew the boat easily, but when at the right time Jim said "Whoa, and jumped up to fire at the ducks, there was a hitch in the program. The horse stopped but the boat didn't. It quietly fioated on and banged against the horses hind legs. The horse jumped, and at that Jim took header backward into the water, his gun going about twenty feet him. Just where thegun vent is not certain. It has not been seen since. The horse and the boat kept right on. When the horse wanted to stop, the boat hit his legs and urged him forward. When the boat wanted to stop the horse didn't know it. Finally boat and horse got thor oughiy tangled up, and the latter went down. Then Jim's brother Tom, who had been watching the show from the solid land, waded in and. cut the horse loose, and at the same time Jim waded out. The boat was not hurt ID the least.

What could be done ? As they were looking up and wondering, large hairy hand and arm opened the window, and preeeltly the monkey appeared with the body in h;s arms, and carefully climbed down over the porch and brought the baby safely to his nurse. Nobody else could have done it, for man cannot climb like monkey and is not It arly so strong You may ims zine how the faithful creature was praised and petted after that.

ABOUT ABSORBENTS.

How They Should BE Treated Before Be-
ing Applied to Land.
We are accustomed, as a class, to re-
gard any thing that enters into the ma
nure heap as an absorbent An abb
sOrbent may be more or less serviceable
according to its condition. The more
porous it is the better. The object of
an absorbent is to hold and retain the
liquids, as the solid portions are them
selves absorbents. 1t is plain that the
larger the quantity of liquids absorbed
and held the more valuable the absorb
ent material. Plunge mass of moss
into a vessel of water, withdraw it, and
then squeeze out the water. The
amount of water that has been absorbed
will be very great, Now, try the same
contrived vessel for that purpose, and
also with loan. 1t will be found that
the loan absorbs twice as much water
as the sand, but handful of leaves.
finely cut straw, or even chopped corn
stalks, will hold more than the earth.
This teaches the importance of utilizing
the leaves, straw and stalks as absorb
ents in the manure heap, but it is plain
that the finer the matter the better.
Loan and sand make useful materials
also, as they serve to divide the matter
of the heap, thereby adding to its abb
sorbent capacity. Every farmer, there
fore. should cut up the straw for bed
ding. as it will thereby absorb a larger
proportion of liquid and more easily
decompose. There is another import
ant point, which is that the liquid
causes the solids to decompose, and
hence the greater the quantity of liquid
absorbed the sooner the solids become
available as plant food. Fineness of
condition is almost as essential as the
quality Of the constituent elements
composing the manure.-FGrm, Field
and Stockmdn.
