as follows to the discussion of the tar

The Horses Ears.

One of the most wonderful things about
horse is his ears, and his method of using
them. They are SO peculiarly shaped and
set on his head that he can throw them
forward at will to hear in front, and back
ward to hear in the rear. In these motions
the ear takes peculiar turn, SO that the
inside or hollow of it is turned toward the
sound. One ear can be thrown back to
hear behind him, while the other is thrown
forward as he sees and hears in front.
This popularity in the actions of the ears
was not created without a purpose, and
trained horsemen aud experienced drivers
dispense with great deal of the bit gov
eminent by taking advantage of the ready
use of the ear, to which the horse is ever
alive. so that the ease and grace of the
thorough horseman is concealed in the
apparent mystery in his skillful manage
ment under all circumstances.
The most careless observer of the habits
of animals aud birds will have noticed
that if IA birds feathers are wet it cannot
fly easily; and for a like reason if the
horses ear be wet he cannot hear so well,
so he throws it back to keep the rain
from getting into it. The normal posi-
ton of the horses ear when he is ut rest
is falling backwards, but when he is at
work or being driven its position is ever
varying and changing with circumstances.
Whom aafiya 40 hnrca
orders from his driver, the ears are vert-
cal; when he is cross the ears are also
thrown back, but with a wicked, malicious
expression as positive as words; when
the horse is listening, or looking to the
front the ears are inclined forward. 1t
is said by observing horseback
riders. that the saddle horse
when he is in motion, listens most
attentively to the least sound of his
riders voice, which he is ever expecting
to hear, and therefore by giving him the
habit of listening to and obeying his voice.
there is but very little occasion for the
use of the reins.
\ good Judge of u horse, if he is going
to purchase one, takes close notice of the
motions aud actions of the ears. and they
are II -urcr indication of spirit and health,
or of illness and over-work, than most
farmers or stable men ever think Of m
deed. if they would study the nature ana
anatomy of the horse and see how well he
is provided with every necessary faculty
and means to use in their varied service of
him, they could make their associations
with this most noble and useful animal
more agreeable and kindly to both.

A POLL ON THE TARIFF.
The Mayors OF Seventv-four Towns
Express their Views on the Mills Bill.

The New York Press has obtained the
views upon the tariff bill of seventy four
mayors, representing u population or ,o6S,-
$40. according to the census of 1850, and
probably $50 ,oo7, as things stand to-day.
The list presented includes cities and towns
in the States of Massachusetts, Ohio, North
Carolina. New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary
land. Wisconsin. Iowa. Indiana. Kentucky
New York, Georgia. Michigan. Illinois,
Maine, Rhode Island, Virginia. New Hamp-
shire, Missouri, Connecticut and Minnesota.
The towns were taken hap-hazard, without
any knowledge AS to the politics of the Mayor.
OF the seventy -four statements printed
6fty-four enter vigorous protests against any
interference with the tariff aud declare that
to do so will injure the local industries.
These fifty-four cities had a population in
1880 of 76S.76l The remaining eighteen
statements received and likewise printed dis
play varicgsted ideas about the question in
v0ived.
The following is the well stated answer
of Mayor Macomber of Augusta
to the Press interrogative: This
city is looking forward to quite develop
ment of its manufacturing industries in
the near future, and ! believe it would be
the prevailing sentiment Of the community
by an overwhelming majority that any

The Bourbon Accumulation.

able political condition of South tarolina,
where the peruicious doctrines of John &.
Calhoun aud Jefferson Davis, intensified by
brutal prejudice, have long held sway.
With the terrible facts ~ to the Bourbon
rule In that State the public has long been
more or less familiar, vet those who live
remote from them are unabl" to fully aI-
preciatc the cnormity of them and are
prone to forget or ignore how criminal and
disgraccful they are, and to what extent
they do wrong to the nation. The

brought about and is maintained by corrup-

defiance of "A majority of the people and

judicial position in the land. Such crimes as
these have been shamclessly condoned by
the Mugwumps who once professed loyalty
to American liberty and impartial Justice,
but now pour out slckening apologies for
Cle,clandism through the y. Y. Post, the
n. Y. Times, llarper's Weekly, the Spring
field Republican, and others of like pro
clivites. 1t is by the powerful aid of
these Bourbon crimes that a determined
war is now being made against American
industry, in the interests of British Free
Trade, which is but the renewal of the
hostility which Calhoun and
the South Carolina oligarchy
declared against American man
ufactures more than half century ago.
How can these crimes and the wide inilu-
ence they exert be prevented in the future
The remedy must come from the patriotic
native sons of South Carolina themselves,
thoroughly aroused To the evils and perils
which surround them, using all the legiti-
mate agencies of frcemen. encouraged by
the moral support and sympathy of the
citizens of other sections of the country
The Independents of the South, the ener.
getic and fearless representatives of the
New South must mainly do the work OF
curing the evils which surround them.
