Black horses are of n hot and fiery temper
and disposition; the chestnut and brown bay
are reckoned to have strength and spirit; and
the white are always tender. As to gray, it
has been observed that those which tend the
most to black are stronger than the brighter
grays. There are besides these other colors
i'll horses, rs the roam, which seems TO be the
offspring of the bay and white, or the bay
and gray. The sorrel and white seems to be
the author of the dun and cream color, and
as for those horses which are called straw
berry, they may probably proceed from n
coupling between a bright gray and bay.
There are also some horses notified or red
commonly called piebaldD, either black and
white in spots, or chestnut and white.
As to the choice of color in stallion, a
person of great skill says the dapple bay, the
white bay and the da pie gray are to be pre-
ferred, but does not object TO horse of n
pure black, provided it has white star and
a white foot In the judgment of others,
however, he should be all of one color

Cleyeland's River and Harbor Bill.

From the New York sun.
The river and harbor bill, over which
the President shook his head, and to
which he proceeded to attach his signature,
approprates Sl4, 474 ,9OO-an amount, on a
rough estimate, about one Thousand
times greater than the saving effected by
all of the Presidents pension veteos taken
together. Gen. Grant never signed river
and harbOr bill half so bigas this Hayes
signed none that came within S5O0O,0O of
it. Mr., Arthur signed none that APP
preached it in magnitude In the whole
history OF river and barbor legislation, the
efforts of the log rollers never but once
achieved a job surprising that of the
present year in the aggregate of the appro
priation, or in the shameless character o
many OF the Items. That was four years
ago. And when the bill went to Mr..
Arthur he took stub pen and wrote
across the face of it in bold black letters:

The bill imposing tax on every pound Of
fraudulent butter manufactured passed both
houses of congress some time ago. The presi-
dent has signed it and it is now a law. The
act comes under the head of revenue bill,
like the statut Is taxing whisky and tobacco.
OF course any man has a right to manufac-
ture lard and t1llOw butter if he wishes To
forbid his doing 50 would be to interfere with
industrial pursuits. But when he sells that
product for something which it is not, then
he oveiSteps the bounds of legitimate indus
tries Olcomargarine was thus universally
sold. The subject was a very difficult one to
legislate on, and congress balanced matters
by imposing revenue tax on the article. If
the new law brings up the price of butter far
mers and dairymen will have cause to rejoice.
