THE IMPROVED HACKNEY HORSE,

Points of Superiority Over the Old Eng
lish Hackney.
Formerly the English hackney wa
only used for riding, and in the imper-
feet state of highways that prevailed up
to the present century this horse was the
main dependence for travel. Strength
rather than speed was the former requi-
site. Now both are wanted, and the
scope of the hackney has stretched out
till he is bred for a carriage horse as well
es for equestrian uses. The illustrations
show a fine pair of these handsome, spir-
tied animals.

Especial Correspondence
MENDHAM, y. j., Sept. l4.-The stage
from Morristown had just rolled up and
stopped before the ancient tavern, on whose
piazza a number of men were %lounging
discussing the effect of the new railroad on
Mendham property, and a middle aged man
in a slouchy suit of gray stepped up and
registered for a dinner. He had a gripsack
with him, and the proprietor, not knowing
whether he was a plumber seeking luxu-
rious rest or a comic lecturer seeking a
haven of safety, and being a little bit curl
Gus in the matter, asked him very po-
litely, after a few preliminary remarks.
relative to the weather and crop outlook:
"What are you selling, paper collars?"
"Yes, l take orders for paper collars-let
me show you a sample of our latest
rundown; it is warranted to wear three
days on each side. The beauty of it is
that one side is white for Sunday wear,
while the other is checked, striped or
dotted to match any colored shirts you
may have. We have have also solid colors,
warranted not to fade in a hay field. These
waterproof colors will not wilt in a thun-
derstorm, and we lave several letters at
headquarters from men who have used
these collars saying that they quickly cure
bronchitis and all kindred throat troubles.
I will just show them to you"
"Never mind" replied the hotel keeper,
II have no use for them, because l have
my shirts made with the collars on them,
even if they are shirts the color of my rusty
stove"

II have something right here,' said the
agent, tapping his gripsack, "that will
make your stove shine like patent leather
and hold the shine for a month. l can
give it a polish in a minute that will enable
you to shave while looking in or on it, and
it is just as good on boots as it is on the
stove. 1t makes the stove shine so bright
that all the rest of the kitchen looks clean
by reflection; and when it is on your boots
the observer will never notice the patch on
the knee of your trousers, even if your
trousers are black and the patch is scarlet.
One customer recently polished up a snow
white rooster and some hens with it, and

escape the laughter of the b%ystanders. II

thus far been productive of great results,
and as yet it has only fairly commenced.
When the war ended he was still a student
at Annapolis, and he did not reach the
rank of ensign until 1869. Now, as he has
for more than a year past, he enjoys the
rank and pay of commodore, and he is the
youngest man who has ever held that rank
in the navy of the United States. He did
not win his promotion in battle, but his ad-
vance is nevertheless the result of solid
merit. The young ensign of 1868 had a
talent for the construction of ordnance
that amounted almost to genius, and this
explains his rapid, if not phenomenal, ad.
vancement.
Thirty years ago Captain Dahlgren O.,
the navy and General Rodman of the
army were the governments great gun
builders. and the Rodman and Dahlgren
guns were famous in their time and re-
garded as triumphs of the gunmaker's
art. Certain it is that they rendered splen-
did service Inc aided materially in win
ming the worlds greatest war. But could
Rodman and Dahlgren return and see the
guns their successor is building in the very
foundry that was the theater of their
greatest successes they would be honest
and generous enough to confess that he
had surpassed them in every way, and this
despite the fact that the Washington gun
foundry in it's remodeled and renovated
form is a creation of the last six years.
When it was decided to in
earnest the work of rebuilding and re-
arming the navy the gun foundry was one
of the first objects to receive attention.
1t was thoroughly overhauled, and under
the direction of Commodore Folger fitted
up with new machinery and the work of
gunbuilding, which was suspended at the

THE COACH STOPPED.
We had covered nearly five miles when
the road widened several feet, and all at
once l saw, as we tore by, the faces of a
group of men drawn to one side to let us
pass. l shrieked to them a wild cry for
help, but as our speed was undiminished
made up my mind the noise we made had
kept them from hearing me, or that it was
impossible for them to overtake us, but
even as I despaired I heard a hoarse cry,
and looking out saw my lunatic's body
hurled from his seat into the road, and the
next minute felt the horses checked and
finally stopped. The door was flung open
and a bearded face thrust in, when I threw
myself into pair of strong arms and knew
no more.
When I came to l heard a voice say:
"Give the poor chap mother swallow o. the
stuff, Jim. He's a-comin' to-" Some fiery
liquor trickled down my throat, and open
ing my eyes, gasping, I found myself sur
rounded by a crowd of roughly dressed
men, but they to my eyes had the appear

had stopped the stage. This was accom-

over the top and thus reaching the seat,
from which they knockedth mailman and
secured the lines.
On examination the lunatic was found
to be only stunned, when we bound him
