The increasing prosperity OF the REGISTER Is
gratifying to its owners but its circulation
isn't a tenth part OF what we intend 1t shall

the world on the true history and pedigree OF
the American road horse. As such,it deserves
and must get the very widest circulation. Its
Horse Department is worth many times Its
subscription price - valuable, instructive,
entertaining. From all over the country we
have an immense amount of original matter
coming in tor this department; and we ex-
pect to be able to give soon the history
and pedigree of the following famous hors-
es hitherto unknown: Old Pilot, st. Law
renee, Columbus dam of Royal George, North
American or Bullock Horse; Lady Surrey,dam
OF Henry Clay Tom Thumb, &. $. OF Green's
Bashaw; Leonidas, reputed g. s. OF Blggarts
Rather, and many others.
This is emnently the kind of informa-
ton that all gentlemen of intelligence desire,
and none such American can well afford to be
without this paper 1t is the American gentle.
mans paper for the history OF the horse. In
all such information there is included much
ocal and general history. Indeed, the trac-
ing of some OF these pedigrees seems very
similar to a romance, in which one sees not
only the animated bearing and noble action
OF the horse, but also the life and beauty OF
the country through which he travels.

Mr.. John Mcclure of st. Cesare says,
further, that Bousquet was implicated in
the rebellion. my brother bought from
the estate pacing chestnut mare by the
old horse that was very fast; took her to
Troy and sold her. l was only six years

that the st. Lawrence horses were all big

so heard that st. Jacob, b. e., PAGER, that
took record of 2 :29t at Philadelphia in
1887, was out of daughter of Pride of

Have you ever made any attempts to
trace the history or breeding of old Indi-

advertisement for 1881 at Augusta, Maine,
as given by j. w. Thompson in his Sec
ond volume of Maine Bred Horses. This
advertisement, dated Augusta, MAY 4,
1881, says ''He was raised and sold three
years since by Van Tassel, chief of the
Upper Canada tribe, to company in the
county of Columbia, State of New York"
The pacing element appears to be very
potent factor in the production of speed
at either the pacing or trotting gait. If
the numerous families of PAGERS could be
traced back from fifty to one hundred
years, am of the opinion that a very
large proportion of the families would be
merged into one. Please excuse the
length of this letter. Once started find

Dear Sr:-Can you give me any infor-
nation respecting the breeding or quail
ty of horse called the Parsons Horse,
owned by a Mr.. Parsons at Colebrook.
New Hampshire, perhaps 30 or 40 years
ago, and afterwards at Eaton, Province
OF Quebec, CanadaY He has been de-
scribed as bay horse, with white heels
and star, weighing about 1900 lbs. Is
this the Parsons Horse that Wallace gives
in his Year Book for 1887 as the sire of
Lady Williams, 2:2S4, or some other
horse? The Colebrook On. H. Parsons
Horse was the sire of Vermont Boys dam
that made some seasons in Maine. Can
you tell me whether the pacing gelding
st. Jacob, that took record of 2 :29i in
1887, was out of a mare by Pride of
Maine? | have heard that he was. Will
you oblige me with an early reply. When
is your book to appear and is it to con-
tain any Maine pedigrees.
Yours truly, j. G. SpAULDING.

A EOy's Logical Argument.


The Up-River Nc,cs gives the follow
ing Renaissance of an incident IN an
Oldtown lyceum forty years ago, to
which ell the doctors, lawyers, and min
listers of the town belonged. One eve
ming capital punishment was the dues-
ton being discussed, and called ont the
best forces on both sides. During the
evening q young boy, who had been a
constant member, replied to Deacon
Rigby upon this question. The Deacon
was for hanging. The boy opposed.
Said the Deacon. quoting from the
Mosaic law Whose sheddeth mans
blood, by man shall his blood be shed.
Thinking this to be bombshell to his
opponents, he dwelt upon it till his time
expired, when the boy sprang to his feet
and said:
Surprising we take the law which
the gentleman has quoted, and which IN
philosophical sense has abrogated Il;
null and void since the birth of our Sa
viour. and see what the logical deduction
would come to. For example, one man
kills another. another man kills him, and
30 on until We come to the last man OF
earth. Who's going to kill him ? He
dare not suicide, for the same law for
bids it. Now, Deacon" said the boy,
"what are you going to do with the last
man ?"
The boys logic called out rounds Of
applause and vanquished the Deacon.
The boy is now Chief Justice Of the Su
preme Court Of the United States, Mel
vile w. Fuller.

Can a surgical operation be lawfully
performed upon wife without the con-
sent of her husband? This novel ques-
ton has Just been passed upon by the
Maryland Court of Appeals and decided
in the affirmative.
A woman was suffering from what was
supposed to be a tumoP. An operation
was decided upon with the consent OF
her husband. The thing proved to be
q cancer, and the surgeons proceeded to
extirpste it with the knife. Some
months afterward the patient died. The
husband thereupon sued the doctors for
damages. He alleged that he had not
consented TO an operation in case OF
cancer, and claimed that without such
consent the operation was without legal
warrant. and hence the operators were
liable for damages.
The Court does not accept this view,
but holds that only the consent OF the
patient was necessary. Here is the ex-
position OF the law:
off she consented to the operation the
doctors were justified in performing it,
if, after consultation. they deemed 1t
necessary for the preservation and pro-
longation OF the patients life"
The consent OF the wife, not that OF
the husband. the Court went on to say,
was necessary. The professional men
whom she had called in and consulted
being possessed of skill and scientific
knowledge, were the proper persons to
determine what ought 10 be done. They
could not, Of course, compel her to sub-
NIT TO an operation /; but if she yolunta-
rily submitted to its performance her
consent viii be presumed. unless she was
the victim Of false and fraudulent repre-
ssntstion
