To Start q Balky Horse.

In a recent number of Our Dumb Animals
Col. Joseph A. Titus writes as follows: 81
have had to do with many balky horses and
have never known the following simple expe-
dent to fail, provided it was not a case where
some other person had been tampering with
the will of the horse before had taken him in
hand. 1t is another method of 'diverting the
horses attention.
Whenever horse driven by myself has
baked have got out of my carriage and gone
to his fore foot, lifted it from the ground and
struck the shoe a few blows with a stone or
wrench (which always carry in my carriage }
have never failed to start horse in that very
simple way, and / have on several occasions
had balky horses which would exhaust the
patience of all former owners.
81 have undertaken to start balky horses,
being handled by others, after other methods
of starting them had failed. l request the
driver generally to move out of the way, that
his voice or presence may not be recognized by
the horse. then first inform the animal, by
patting him and talking to him, that there is a
new man at the helm, thereby partly diverting
his attention. As soon as he begins to give
me his attention, take up his foot and tap it
a few times, and never failed, except in one
instance, to start the horse. And that excep-
tional case was one where the horse was over
loaded and knew it.
1.-THE very worst method of attempting to
start a balky horse according to my expert
ence and observation, is that of pulling the
head of the animal by the bit, and it is meth
cd almost universally adopted by inexperienced
users of the horse. The stubbonness of the
horse is only increased by that method"

''Nr." and MRS. How They Originated.
Oldham Chronicle


In earlier times the ordinary man was simply
William or John; that is to say, he had merely
a Christian name without any kind of han
dIe'' before it or surname after it. Some means
of distinguishing one John or one William
from another John or another William became
necessary.
Nicknames derived from a mans trade or
his dwelling place, or from some personal pc
culiarity, were tackled on to their Christian
names, and plain John became John Smith.
As vet there were no ''misters" in the land.
Some John Smith accumulated more wealth
than the bulk of his fellows-became, perhaps,
a landed proprietor or an employer of hired
labor Then he began to be called in the Nor
man French of the day the ''maistre" Of
this place or of that, of these workmen or of
those.
In time the "maistre," or "master," as it
soon became got tackled on before his name
and he became Master Smith and his wife was
Maistress Smith. But generally the sense Of
possession was lost sight of and the title was
conferred upon any man who attained social
distinction of any kind, by mere possession Of
wealth or by holding some position OF more or
less consideration and importance.
1t is only within comparatively modern
times that the term came to be considered an
almost indispensable adjunct to every ones
name when mentioned in ordinary converse
ton or writing. Maistress Smith soon became
Mistress Smith. Exactly how and when the
term got corrupted cannot be said. Master
Smith, however, remained Master Smith long
after his wife beanie Mistress Smith.

THE RIGGS OF NEUTRAL TRADERS.

A case of supplying munitions Of
war to so-called insurgents, anala-
gous to the Haytien case on which
we commented on Tuesday, seems to
have occurred lately in Samoa. The
facts, as we understand them, are
these. An American trader there
imported 10000 cartridges for the
Mataafa party. The Germans who
side with Tamasese did their best by
protests and peaceable means to
prevent their delivery, but were I'M
able to do SO, there being Consul
present to assert American rights.
Had the German ship of war seized
the cartridges as contraband, there
would have been, in accordance with
the precedent furnished by the Hay
tien case, clear foundation for a
demand by the United States gov
eminent of exemplary damages.
This is more clearly the case as the
Tamasese government has not been
recognized by the United States, al
though set up by the Germans.
Even therefore if it had proclaimed a
blockade, and were effectually en-
forcing it, the United States would
have a right to ignore it.
In the Samoan disturbances, arts
ing among an ignorant and half
civilized people, many irregular and
wrong things may have been done
ON both sides. This, however, is
quite consistent with one side being
substantially in the right, and the
other substantially in the wrong. 1t is
sufficiently clear that the war is a
traders war. That is to say, it was
origin~-y melted by, and is carried
on largely in the interest of parties
whose concern in the matter is
purely one of private gain. Certain
German traders could not gain their
ends from the existing King Male
tea, who was the choice of the great
loyal majority of the Samoans. They
therefore got naval aid to set up Ia
masese, whom the people did not
want, and would not have. In hopes
Of securing the acceptance of their
protege, the Germans seized Malie-
toa and carried him OF to parts IN
known. The English and German
traders, who are competitors of the
Germans, naturally take sides with
the Samoans. The Germans keep a
naval force at the scene of the con
fict, and at last accounts had taken
part in the fighting. One or more
British warships have been watch
ing these proceedings. An Amer
lean squadron has been ordered
thither and things are looking
badly mixed.
The first thing which seems to be
needed is the bringing Of some jus
tice into play in the business, in
stead of commercial greed, and espe-
cially Of some plain common sense
and reasonableness. Of,course we
cannot tell to what extent the trad
ing interests involved are strength
ened by political ambition and the
spirit of and-grabbing at Berlin
AS Germ ~ and the United States
have been heretofore very friendly
to each other, and are each too pow
erful to have any wish to quarrel fo1
any light cause, we may hope to see
some common sense and spirit Of
Cancellation brought to the fore
and the Samoan difficulty settled al
an early da-.

DOVER LETTER.
Kent County court-The Validity of "a
Bond.

Special correspondence EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, June 20.-In the Court of
Errors and Appeals yesterday, the argu-
ment in the case of the State of Della
ware, plaintiff in error VS.. Thompson r.
Smith, Elias Shockley and George Swain,
defendants in error, was continued and
will be closed this morning by Charles
Cullen, Esq, for plaintiff. This is very
interesting case and one of daily applica
bility, namely, official bonds. Stephen
w. Shockley was appointed collector of
Cedar Creek hundred in 1881, giving
bond with the defendants as surities. but
falling to affix the required seal. BY
request of Samuel Bacon, then president
of the Levy Court of Sussex county he
placed seal" after his name in 1888.
Becoming a defaulter the sureties We're
looked to for the deficiency but they re-
fuse to pay on the grounds that this was
not good bond and If it was good the
act Of sealing at the time without their
assent or knowledge made it void. This
question of seal to bond is one on which
the bar and bench are by no means q
unit. There are several other important
cases to be argued at this term Of court.
at p. m. last evening the Alumni Of
the Conference Academy held business
meeting and at P. m. after an excel
lenty rendred instrumental solo by Mr..
William Smith, former graduate
/ and now teacher Of music
in Philadelphia they were addressed
by Prof NJ D. Leonard, Ph. d Of Johns
Hopkins University. Prof leonard was
raised near Dover and graduated
at the academy in 1876 and
has been In college and Germany since, till
about three years ago, when he was
elected professor of German in Johns
Hopkins University His address "The
New Culture was masterpiece and
showed much learning and scholarship
The subject was an appropriate one for
the occasion and we'll received by all who
heard it. He divided his subject
into nine epochs, tracing in very logi-
cal and concise way the drift from the
old and false idea Of the great impor-
tance Of the dead languages, to the liber.
ality Of to-day and predicted the rise and
Importance to be placed in the modern

plauded.
