A Rapid Walk.

Attention is urged by writer in
JVdlldce'S Monthly to the walking gait
as the first to be developed in colt or
young horse, and by which a great de-
gree of practical proficiency is attainable.
He enfOrces this idea by estimates and
examples: eve have known numerous
road-bred horses that would walk from
four and one-half to five miles in an
hour without urging, and many, in fact.
Most well-bred road horses could be
taught to cover greater distances than
this in the same time if it were not for
the pernicious custom Gas we think of
putting the colts to the trot as soon as
they are in the harness and before they
are really bridle-wise. Every farmers
boy knows that he can do better Job
of work-plowing narrowing or cul-
tivating corn-with a fast walking team
which makes the dirt fly than with
slow one. The saving on farm when
the horses walk three miles an hour, or
even when they walk two and One-half
miles, is twenty per cent; or, in other
words, the fast team can rest a whole
day in the week and yet do as much
work as the slow team-do it easier and
do it better. When work is pressing or
weather uncertain the fast team is ii
treasure. While every effort has been
made to increase the speed of the trOt-
ter, the draft-horse men have been
working for pounds with little regard
either for muscle or walking speed. 1t
is very great mistake to suppose that
the draft-horse can not be trained to
walk rapidly. We have been breeding
to Percheron for four years that often
walks nine miles in one hour and fifty
minutes over billy road, and his colts
are all rapid walkers"

dared undertake to manufacture and
sell this style of fencing at a fair profit
and without paying tribute to the
Washburn & Moen monopoly The
latter, as is its practice, brought against
the alleged interlopers the imposing
machinery of the law, fought them, re-
CARELESS of expense, and happily has
just come out second best, Judge Shiras
having decided that calvin Morley
made barbed wire and exhibited the
same at fair held at Delhi, Iowa, in
1S59-tifteen years prior to the date of
the Glidden patent for the same pattern
issued from Washington and long con-
trolled by the Washburn & Moen.n
OF course the case will be appealed TO
the supreme court by the rich and re-
lentless corporation, but it may meet
there such an effectual reception as was
lately accorded the driven-well swindle,
which robbed the country of millions of
dollars before receiving its lOng-delayed
quietus. The farmers should have re-
lief from both these eXtortions, and
in view of the evil practiced by its
authority let the Washington patent
bureau be reformed to a basis of ac-
ton above contempt and which works
hardship to hundreds of thousands of
people least able to be victimized. One
rule of conduct in its administration
should be the Withholding of letters for
any simple claimed invention until it
is clearly established as fact that it
has not been in use as common prop

further advantage. His reasonable eX-
pectations are sometimes fulfilled ;
often they are disappointed. Values
in agriculture are enhanced by the
increase of a non-agricutural popula-
ton" The last you can not have in
new country. In the long run farmer
can acquire greater wealth here in YER
mont than in the South or West. From
observation extending over the water,
where civilization begins to fade in
oriental splendor and semi-barbarsm
across our own continent to the golden
shores, where the sun goes down in the
great deep, say with the utmost con-
fidence that Vermont homes are as good
homes as anybody's homes, and great
deal better.

those States which failed 10 obey the law
should now come up and pay the tax or
the State that did pay 1t should be re-
imbursed.
Mr. Stewart, Of Georgia, regarded the
pending bill MS unwise legislation, lie
suggested that were there not surplus in
the Treasury the measure would never
have been brought. IL was one of the
great schemes to take money from the
Treasury and TO fix the charge OF prodigal-
ity on tho Democratic Administration.
There was no public exigency now exist
ing which could justify Congress in resort
ing TO such unconstitutional legislation.
Nowhere in the letter OF the Constitution,
nowhere in It's spirit was there word or
sentence to justify this vicious legislation,
which was markedly and boldly gift and
donation by the general Government 1t
was fraught with danger, and ms a prccc-
dent would prove pernicious.
An informal recess for about five minutes
was taken TO enable Mr.. CAswell and Mr..
Oates to canvass their respective sides and
find some gentlemen who desired to speak
on the measure.
Mr.. Caswell was unsuccessful in his
search, but finally Mr. Hooker, OF Nlissis-
sippi, took the tloorin opposition to the bill.
He was not surprised that no gentleman on
the other side was prepared Tor adyo 'ating
the extraordinary proposition TO tlke from
the Treasury back taxes paid by the citi-
zcns and distribute them among the sew
eral States. The income tax had been
repealed years ago There were men in
the section when had not pad the direct
tax who had not paid the Income tx; aud
he raised the note OF warning that il
Congress passed this bill It would not be
long before il would be said that in order
10 eqalize taxation. the income tax would
have TO be refunded TO those who had
paid il. II Congress was going to enter
on the work Of equalizing taxation, it
ought not to begin with n tax which was
consttuiionally levied and collected; it
ough, TO begin with that tax which the
common consent Of mankind and the
judgment OF every fair-lnindcd man con-
ceded to have been illegally aud uncon-
stitutionally Land.
Pending further debate, the committee
rose and the House adjourned.
