The Herse KNOW His Aran.

Not long ago there was certain Eng
lish general in India who had the misfor-
tune to be extremely fat aud heavy. His
private charger was a big animal, well
up to his weight, If any horse could be
so, but of such disobliging character
that he utterly refused to carry his mas
ter. Whenever the general came out to
mount him, the horse would throw
himself fiat on>the ground and refuse
to get up. Finally the general sold him.
Two years afterward the same officer
went to the frontier on a tour OF inspec-
tion, and as he travelled in a palanquin
he was obliged to borrow charger for
review purposes. There was some diff
Guilty in finding one up to his weight.
"At length, so the story runs,
IAN officer resigned to him a powerful
horse for the occasion which was
brought out, duly caparisoned, in
front of the line. The gen
eral came forth from his tent and pro
ceeded to mount, but the instant the
horse saw him advancing he flung him
self fat upon the sand. and neither
blows or entreaties could induce him to
rise 1t was the generals old charger,
who from the moment of quitting his
service had never once practised the arti
flee until his second meeting. The gen
eral, who was an exceedingly good hum
ored man, joined heartily in the univer-
sal shout that ran through the whole line
on witnessing this ludicrous affair. -
