THE COMING HORSE.

To give fair idea of the horse most in demand, which will always have a ready market, we take the privilege of copying the requirements of a United States cavalry horse, as set forth in a well.written little book on "Horses for Cavalry Service" by Mayor A. K. Arn.ld, U. 5. A:
 "We want for the cavalry service a horse that stands from IA hands 3 inches to I6 hands high; not under five or over seven years; small head and neck, thin below, and crest arched; good forehead shoulders long and slanting; deep chest; barrel roomy; muscular arms, of medium length, legs straight; withers elevated; Joins, broad; hind quarters, oeep; thighs, muscular; hook, we'll bent and under the horse; pasterns, slanting; good feet and hardy color.
 "It is found Tn the service that horses have more or less hardihood depending on their color. in some regiments the troops have their own particular color; that is, one troop has bay, another brown and another grey, and so on, depending on the fancy of the commanding officer. It has been agood test, as t enables us to choose those colors which indicate the most hardy horses. Experience of diff ferent officers classes them thus: The dark bay first, then the bay-brown, iron gray, strawberry roan, dark sorrel, black and chestnut. Cream color, dun, wfiite and piebald horses have little hardihood." !"

the Indian school. There were fifty.six scholars m attendance, and, according to the Doctor, greater degree of clviliza- ton was evinced than it was thought Apaches were capable of. Captain Piece, the Indian agent, complained of the returned Hampton students, who seemed to have been instructed more as to the "wrongs" committed on them by the white man than anything else. They are source of trouble on the res iva,ion and should not have been allowed to return or they should have never been sent there. Captain Pierce has made a model Indian Agent, and his resignation is to be regretted.

Boston, Chicago and Philadelphia are as

hundred and ten private telegraph wires run
from Offices connected with the Exchange
to various parts of the country. Orders for
the purchase and sale of stock have been

Chicago within minute. The average time
occupied in sending messages by cable to
London is not much over six minutes
Many firms make a specially of trading be-
tween the stock exchanges of New York and
London, so as to take advantage of any diff
fereuCes which may exist in the two markets
in the same security. In order that this may
be done with safety aud profit great celebrity
is required on the part of the cable company
aud messages have been sent to London and
the answer received in New York within
three minutes. During one day in DeCem-
Der, 1856, the Western Union Company
there delivered through its office in the
Stock exchange building $500 mess ages If
to these are added these sent by other COM

A GIRL MAIL Ca REIER
Her Wild Mountain Route Fearlessly
Travelled Every Day.
Portland Oregonian J

OAsio'h va SNhAoh
Oregon has woman mail carrier Her
name is Miss Minnie Westmaa, and she
carries Uncle Sans mail from the head OF
navigation on Siuslaw river over the Coast
Range Mountains, following up the river to
Hales postotiice station, within fifteen miles
of Eugene City.
Her route is twenty miles long, and il
situated right in the heart of the mountains
where all the dangers and adventures incl
dent to such an occupation abound. She
carries the mail night and day, and fears
nothing. She rides horseback, and carries a
trusty revolver.
Miss Westman is plump little brunette,
and is 20 years old. Her father and uncle
operate a stage line and have contract for
carrying the mail. At Hale's Station Min
nie meets her father and gets the mail from
Eugene City and starts on her round.
Miss Westman has never met with a
serious accident in the performance of her
duty. On enc of her trips last year she
found three good sized bears in the road
right in front of her. The horse on espying
them became frightened, threw his rider to
the ground, and turning around ran back
the road he came.
Miss Westman, with great presence of
mind started after the runaway, and over
taking him, remounted and rode right through
the savage Gordon, and, strange to say, she
was not attacked. Meeting some friends,
she told them of what she had seen, and
they went to the place and killed the bears.
SO far this year Miss Westman has met two
bears, which did not modest her.

Col. T. W. IIigginson, the poorly balAnc-
ed man who has belonged TO all the parties
which have cut much figure in recent
American politics, did not gain much
by running for Congres. against the Re
publican candidate, Gen. Banks. He
richly deserved his defeat, and sensible
citizens will give him no sympathy. His
Laudation OF Cleveland was carried to the
extreme of bad taste, and to the utter
disregard of facts "a known and under

men. In November, 1881 after the re-
suit in the election was known, he talked
to the Boston hoodlums about the forma-

won great victory, binding his eyes TO
the fact that II had only once more placed
