ALBANIA. the promising young Arab colt.
selected last winter from the herd of o
sheik near Damascus, by T.. w. Cottrell,
of Detroit, for Senator Palmer, and named
after one OF the rivers spoken of in Scrip
ture, "Pharpar and ALBANIA" ALBANIA. the
Arab colt, is dead. He was the most
promising steed that Mr.. Cottrell could
find in all the Sultan's dominions, though
armed with special irman TO explore
the valleys, green pastures. and sweet
waters of the opulent East. Much bar
gaining, after the Oriental way, messiah
lab, bismalla, and backsheeshs finally
prevailed upoa the turbaned sheik and
his wild-eyed family to part with the
colt. They wept at the parting andAore
their boards in anguish, and would fain
have stolen him away from the Feringhi
unbeliever had not the terror of
the Sultan's firman and the Ameri-
can Consurs vigilance prevented. Cot
trell led him overland across the Jeb-
el-Barouk, and through the mountain
passes skirting great Lebanon itself, un-
til Beyrout was reached. Here ALBANIA
was transferred to steamer and looked
his last at the Land of Promise A
French line steamer carried him to Mar
settles, aud from there to the Province of
La Perche, where he made the acquaint-
ance of the steeds derived from crusading
ancestry, and dating their entry into
France from the days of Godfrey of Bouil-
lon and the great Sultan Saladin. From
France ALBANIA came with his new COM
panions to the land of the free and the
home of the brave, tenderly cared for
and petted even more than he would have
been had he remained an inmate of the
tent of his Bedouin master. ALBANIA
suffered with distemper more than the
Percherons. He found friends and ten
der care at Senator Palmer's place, and
recognized above all others the voice of
Cottrell Doubtless this was because of
the tender Arabic phrases which Cottrell
would ejaculate-words that he had picked
up from the horsemen OF the barbaric East
and which had a sound of home to ALBANIA,
for withal the colt was homesick, and the
silvery Arabic had far pleasanter sound
than the Anglo Saxon of the stables. A
taxidermist will preserve and set up the
skin of ALBANIA, and endeavor to retain the
grace of figure which he showed during
life. Hundreds of people who have seen
and admired the beautiful Arabian, whose
coat was black as jet. will regret with
Senator Palmer and Mr.. Cottrell his un-
timely death.

"A very singular accident occurred at
Cusic Lake the other day, the result of
which is little short of miraculous. Manly

to turn around with a carriage on the east
bank of the lake when the vehicle was
overturned and its occupant rolled down
an inclile of fifty feet to the waters edge.
The horse carriage and all made several
revolutions IN their descent, but fortu-
nately escaped uninjured
