ABBEVILLE, .. G.
Wednesday. July "a. 1889.
Lost u Horse.

Messrs Wailingford d. Russell lost horse
last Sunday from drinking too much water,
after returning from Cox kcSbury. In hot
weather there is always risk in driving hors-
es, and, 1t seems TO us, to guard against loss,
it would be well to abandon the use of the
check rein. When horses, in travelling, are
free to drink when crossing water, there is
less danger from overdrinking when they re-
turn home. AS q matter OF fact, the check
rein imposes unnecessary pain and suffering
on the horse, and should be entirely removed
faom the bride. Persons driving Il horse
whose head is reined up are often pht to great
Inconvenience "to let down the bridle," or
else the horse is forced to do without water
It would be an act of mercy to mans most
useful friend if our stablemen would take the
check rein off their brides entirely.
1t has been noticed that horses which are
driven TO town from the country, are left in
the scorching sun, hitched TO our racks, with
their heads reined up all the while. A greater
act Of thoughtless cruelty could scarcely be
imagined. Let every lover Of his horse throw
away the check rein.

From France.

(Galignani's Messenger, June 29.)
The closing session of the Worlds
Peace Congress was held at the Marie
of the 9Th ACCOMPLISHMENT on Thurs
day afternoon. Italy, Switzerland,
Great Britain, the United States and
other countries were heard by dele
gates selected from each. Mr.. Hodg-
son Pratt spoke for Great Britain, and
Rev. r. b. Howard for America.
The latter emphasized the fact that
America was not only the receptacle
of all nations, but the university
which trained them in liberty and re-
spect for law. Among Its citizens were
the people Of every nation OF Europe,
and through them it learned to exer-
else an intelligent sympathy with di-
verse peoples and became deeply in
terested in their social and political
well-being both in their old homes as
well as in the new ones they had
made.
The people of America, with no in
vidious criticisms on other forms of
Liberal Government, were fond of
their own free institutions. Born in
the same travail Of ideas which a CEN
tury since made the present Republic
of France possible, honouriug great
Frenchmen, loving Lafayette much as
they did Washington, conceding the
indisputable greatness of France,
which has now expression in an un-
equalled Exposition of industry,
trade, and art; the American people
would be especially glad to unite with
France, as with Great Britain and
other countries, in permanent treaty
which should solemnly promise 1--WE
will in every case of dispute arbitrate
before we will fight. We will settle
our differences not by the sword, but
by treason, conscience, and common
sense. The justice which both nations
alone seek can be found in law, not in
force.n Will the French people unite
with us in such a treaty, not only a.
voip any possible future difficulties,
but to set an example to the world OF
greatest Republics, ruled by the people
themselves, walking hand in hand the
same road which all nations ought to
take?
Pasteur Eschenaur, of Paris, former
ly of Strasburg, gave spirited render
ing of Mr.. Howard's appeal In the
French language. The applause was
hearty and universal.
The Minister Of Public Works In
vites the members of the Peace Con-
gress to a party this evening. Presi-

Mr. Editor:
In your issue of February Z, 1889,
upon the authority of an anonymous
press telegram, you assume that the
statement in my letter of December
20, 1883, "that Malietoa, the old Sa-
moan King, WAS deported to Ger
many" was incorrect, and that the
King was carried to Jalint Island, In.
stead. The facts in the case, as OBJ
tanned from Isaki, Chief Of the Mon
ono tribes in Samoa, are these: In
the month Of February, 1888, Malie-
toa, with Isaki and three other loyal
chiefs, was forcibly seized by the Ger
mans In Samoa, and carried to Ger
many in one Of that nation's men-of.
war. In October last Emperor VIII.
liam thought to settle the Samoan
question Ito his own satisfaction) by
returning his royal prisoners to their
native country. The aspect Of affairs
in Samoa had charged, however, when
the mail steamer bearing Malietoa and
his chiefs reacher Colombo, Ceylon,
and by telegraphic orders the com-
mander of the war-ship olga took the
King, and NIGGA, chief Of Fagatoga,
from the steamer and carried them to
Jalint, where they are still prisoners.
Isaki and his two remaining compan-
ions were allowed to return to Samoa.
where, on the 9Th Of December, they
arrived in safety and freedom. x
Very respectfully,
