witty it borders on the ludicrous. Van

long on "I"-but short on the necessary
qualifications for the various things he
has tried.

Gillian Riders.

The Guachos or Guasos of Chili break their colts with the lasso :; their skill in the use of this instru- ment is extraordinary, and it is a weapon of great power in their hands. In the war of Indepen- dence they never failed to dismount cavalry with it or to throw down tie horses of those who came with in their reach. There is well au- thenticated story of eight or ten Guachos who had never seen a piece of artillery until one was fired at them in the streets of Bue- nos Ayres. Notwithstanding the fire they galloped fearlessly up to 1t threw their lassos over the can non and by their united strength fairly overturned it. The idea ot being thrown, let the horse do what 1t likes never enters the head of Guacho. A good rider, according to Sim, is a man who can manage an untamed colt, or who, if his horse falls, alights unhurt on his own feet. MT. Darwin says he  heard a man betting that he could throw his horse down twenty times and that nineteen ot of these he would not fall himself. A Guacho was seen riding very stubborn horse, which three time reared so excessively high as to fall back wards with great violence. The man judged with uncommon cool ness the proper moment for slip ping off, not an instant before or after tEe right time. The Guacho never appears to exert any muscu- lar force. In Chili a horse is not considered broken till he is brought up standing in his fast speed.- Horse World.

WendeH Philips Prophecy.

Not long before his death Wen dell Phillips made the following prophecy: The handwriting is so plain on the wall that none but a fool need mistake 1t, New England is doomed just as sure as natural laws will produce fixed results. New England has TO soil worth mentioning, and her wealth has been derived from her manufac- lures. These are gradually leav- ing her and eventually they will all go; some to the west, the most to the south, where the advantages for rproftable manufacturing are all located. The coal and iron in the south are easily gotten at and inex- haustible in amount, and the iron mills, the foundries and machine shops can go to them better than they can be carried to the shops. Then the cotton and woolen mills must go there, for the raw materi- als are, and are to be, produced the most cheaply, uniformly and bet ter there. Then look at the advan- tages of the extra hours of day light in a year's run. This is of itself no small matter. As the south grows stronger and stronger, the wealth, culture and power of the country will be centered there until she will become not alone the mistress of America, but the cen tral empire of the world"

IT HAS FALLEN. MT. Wanna maker has refused to appoint us to the postmastership of this town. The blow has at length fallen, Honesty, integrity, merit, intelli- gence and enthusiasm have gone for naught. A wall-eyed, hump backed ignoramus, who can't spell gum, and can scarcely add ? and ?, is retained in preference.
 Do we turn the other cheek?
 Not much! The first thing we did after receiving the news last night was to burn up the vest which was purchased at Wanamaker's ten years ago. We shall never, never buy another dud from his estab- lishment. We ask our friends to make the same resolve. The Nero must be brought to terms. His naughty form must be rubbed in the dust. He must be given to un- derstand that the bulwarks of American liberty still tower aloft, and that no free-born American can be trampled on with impunity.

Mr. HaggIn Again.


 One of the most singular of all the big bettors is Haggin, the Cali fornia millionaire. Half Turk, half Kentuckian, taciturn, vindic- tive, despotic, he has no compan ions and no friends. A dozen sto- ries ore told of his early life; how he was taken captive in the Medit erranean Sea; how he was raised by an old Turk, who adopted him; how the old Turk made Mussul- man of him and left him millions, and how finally, when his son was born, he named him Ben Ali," in honor of his benefactor. No one knows how much of this is true. All that is known is that Mr. flag gin is fabulously rich man; that he owns gold mines and coal mines and copper mines; that he has some of the best horses on the turf, and that he breeds them on a stock farm in California as big as the state of Delaware.
 MT. Haggin is slender man of medium height, with keen dark eyes and closely cropped iron-gray beard. His son, Ben Ali, is a good looking young fellow, rather fat, with a heavy dark moustache. Both of them are at times heavy bettors, and when they like horse will not hesitate to put up $5,000I or $10,000 on him. They are not betting so heavily this year as they did in the past.
 MT. Haggin is man of most violent passions. When his horse, named after his son, Ben Ali, won the Kentucky Derby, there were no books on the Louisville track and Haggin was furious. He carried $10,000 out to the track with him, and his son as much more. They could place only few hundreds in the auctions, and when the great horse came galloping in an easy winner, Haggin, with many an inn precation, had him taken straight to the stable, and in three hours all the horses he had were put in their special cars and were on their way to Latonia. He has never been at the Louisville track since. A few weeks afterwards the judges at La tonia placed his horse Hidalgo back for a foul, and as the indig- l nant. millionaire thought he was unjustly treated he again packed up his things and moved on.
 "I will never set my foot in the
 state again." he said bitterly, and he never has. He will not even buy Kentucky horses. and his enormous stock farm, with its year lings whose annual sales net him $100,000 a year, is said to bs the outcome of his Kentucky quarrels. New York World.

 A New Mexican exchange has this to say of alfalfa as a perma- nent crop:
 East Las Vegas has a very pret- ty park, but it was seeded to alfal- ia a few years ago, and now it is worthless except as a meadow. The Optic suggests that the alfalfa be uprooted to get rid of it. We can assure our cotemporary that there is about the same chance of success of destroying alfalfa by up- roofing it, after il has had three or four years growth, as there is of doing some other impossible things. We have heard of attempts at kill ing 1t out, and we have yet to hear of success. A friend in Cobra do related an experience of his own in blowing alfalfa land and planting potatoes which were we'll cultivated, but the alfalfa kept com ing and the next year there was a heavier crop than ever-the root pruning causing the rootlets to spread more. Alfalfa roots go down deep to water, and after that it is simply impossible to kill it. /"

Cow Grammar.

The words who" whom, " "whose" and 'born" are applicable only to persons and not to animals, yet how often expressione like the following are heard and seen in print: ''The COW whose switch Is black" or "whose dam was import ed :" "tDe bull who won the prize. " These are all in bad form and should read something like this i: - he cow with the black switch ;" the dam of the cow" or the 'cow's dam" was imported 'the bull that won the prize" To allude to a calf being "born" is highly improper, the word ''calved" or dropped" should be employed. Intelligent breeders, who ought to know better, frequently adorn their catalogues with the unique an- nouncment that calves were born" on certain days. According to the highest authority in our possession and from usages contained through centuries, a calf is dropped" or "calved," colt "foaled, pig is "farrowed," a dog is ''whelped, but no creature is ''born" except human belng.-Exchange.
