George Washington's Horses.

Washington never lost his liking for a
good horse, and he knew what good horse
was. lie had a servant who had heen Cen
erai Braddock's servant, and had been wlth
Washington ever since the battle of the
Monong gahela. Bishop, as he was named,
was terrible disclp!Inarian, and devoted to
his masters interests. At sunrise every dav
he would go to the stables, where the boys
had been at work since dawn grooming the
Generals horses. Woe to them if they had
been careless Bishop marched in with a
muslin handkerchief in his hand and passed
it over the coats uf the horses If a singl.
stain appeared on the muslin, the boy who
groomed the horse had to take a thrashIng.
Ii was no light matter to groom horse IN
those days. for, Just as the heads of gentle
men we're plasrered and bewigged, so the
horses were made To undergo what
would seem TO us now a rather absurd
practice. The night before horse was

foot with paste made Of whiting and other
ingredients. then he was well wrapped in
cloth and lad to sleep on clean straw. BY
the next morning the paste had hardened,
and it was then vigorously rubbed in, and
the horse curried and brushed. The result
was glossy and satiny coat. The hoofs
we're blackened and polished. the mouth
washed, the teeth picked and cleaned, and
the horse was then ready to be sadt!led aud

What Interfsres with the Punishment Of

The trouble in New England and the Mid

meaning, doubtless, but really aiders and
abettors in crime, to have the sentence made
the very ightes, that the law will allow
In one of the counties in Maine, few years
ago, murder case was tried in which the
jury agreed upon verdict of manslaught-
err but before they had an opportunity to
render it before the proper tribunal, they were
clandestinely interviewed by an officer OF
the Court, who not only succeeded in draw
ing out from them the result Of their verdict,
but he urged them to accompany ii
with recommendation OF mercy, which was
done. Such manipulation of verdicts and
sentences, whether BY officers of the court
or outsiders, ought to consign the manipul-
arors to everlasting disgrace.
The second great trouble is that when an
offender has been sentenced for term of
years. the chances are ten to one that
some sympathizers with him will set
themselves to work to obtain a pardon
When one takes into consideration the
frequency with which the pardoning power
is abused, he is almost led to wish that the
law which authorizes it could he blotted
from the statute book forever; and vet in
criminal cases connected with which there
are very marked extenuating circumstances.

be judlcious, but in cases where the criminal
acts have been deliberately planned and ex-
ecuted, and especially where they have been
carried on from year to year, to pardon
the offender i simply an outrage on the
