l NOVEL HORSE tanner.

| Hindos are very skillful in training
| wild animals and snakes, and an incident
was related, the other day, by an
Indian traveller, of whom an Indian fakir
| tanned, in few minutes, refractory
| horse that no one else could manage.
The horse in question was a full blooded
stallion belonging to one of the Raahs,
who had bought him for %, 900 rupees.
| The animals favorite trick was to run
backward when any one mounted him,
and no amount of squirting or whipping
could make him 60 i'll the direction that
a good horse should go. Many famed
| horse trainers were hired to cure the
morse of this disgraceful trick, but none
succeeded. Tue Rajan offered 600 to
any one who should break the horse OF

An English officer who was acquainted
with the R6ah told him that lie knew

the fellow a trial. The fakir was sent

of all bad tricks.
The Rajah, with number of officers
and retainers, went to witness the tam

eaparsoned, but the fakir made his ap
pearance in his every day dlapldated
clothes, that were dirty, as usual, for he
had no others. Byhis side worked a ragged
boy, carrying bag with something in
it. The lax in said few words to the
boy, and then leaped upon the horses
back with the agility of a monkey. The
horse Immediately began backward.
Every body was wondering what the ia
kir could do when suddenly the boy
thrust his hand into bag and brought
out wild, vicious looking rooster, with
spurs three inches in length. Quick as
a flash the boy fastened the fowl to the
horses tail and then the fur began.
The rooster put in some fine work With
his spurs and cackled and screeched as
loud as he could. The horse ives evil

Eruit for Home Use.

Mr. EDITOR-l notice in the proceedings
of the last meeting of the Cecil Farmers
Club that the essayist has given list Of
fruits to be specially commended for this
section. | do not know what experience
the essayist has had in the growing Of fruit
mentioned, but presume it was not in this
county,, SO there is no reason to dissent
from their good points elsewhere. But 1t
is for the good of all who would grow good
fruit here and plenty of it, to have a little
more honest discussion of fruits and their
merits, if not in onr county papers, then at
these club meetings, OF at farmers institutes
when our county becomes sufficiently en-
lightened and progressive to hold one.
With this view | venture few remarks
ON some varieties suggested. In all of the
classes of peaches, apples, pears and grapes
there are too many in proportion of the
early lipenirg ones. In peaches especially
We have discarded at least two of the
earlies as worthless, and some others nearly
out of cultivation from some cause.
In apples the earliest preponderate and
some are either very small or unproductive.
The Bough apple has ceased to make any
healthy growth, and the fruit, the little
there is of it, is unfit to cook unless baked,
and its insipid sweet is what comm ends 1t
to children who eat it half ripe. Astrachan
has no. produced crops with us to sustain
its place as a universal favorite in its season.
The list given for Winter will be apt to fall
short in quantity and quality, and needs
some additions.
In pears he has put down two new and
nearly untried ones, Wilder ami Idaho
They may prove worthy, if they are ex-
pensive. Duchess is nearly ALWAYS grown
as dwarf. On pear roots its growth is very
slow.
The grape list embraces some that will
prove failure to the purchaser unless they
are where they have shelter or special treat
ment. We have enough we'll tried ones that

fruit anywhere.
do not know why we might not grow
more plums, but it is now an uncertain
business.
Llwton blackberries have been thrown

list as L would be charged with being AN

very favorably with the cases we have

Years ago General Russell A Alger, of
Detroit, lately the Commander IN Chief
of the Grand Army of the Republic, was
youngster without a cent and with but
one suit of clothes. He wanted to attend
school and went to physician who lived
in the village to ask for chance 10 work
for his board. The doctor did not need
the services of boy, but he was 80
much impressed with young Ayers
earnestness that he took him into his
family circle and sent him through
sc hool. Alger did no work except to
take care of the doctors horse and one
COW.
But time has wrought great changes.

children have died, until he and wife
have been left alone. All offers of as
sistance by General Alger have been re-.
fused, for the old man is as proud as
Lucifer himself In consequence Alger
has been forced to bestow his charities
in many little roundabout ways, so that
their source could not be guessed Re-
Gently he visited his old friend, deter
mined to compel his acceptance of more
substantial aid than be had been re-
| ceiving.
Why, Alger, you don't owe me any
thing, the old man said, aud | won't ac-
cept anything.
{" But | owe my education to you
"Bosh. You owe that to yourself

| pense, for which | want to repay you.
The trouble needn't trouble you, and
| there wasn't much expense to speak Of
In fact the only expense that you caused
me, so far as | can recollect, is the loss
of a cow. Do you know, Alger, when
you came to live with me | had the best
| cow in these parts, and that your awk-
wardness completely spoiled heI? Well,
it did. Within three weeks you had
made her so skittish that no one could
go near her, and | had to sell her for
beef
Well, then, owe you for that COW,
don't l? And I'm going to pay you for
her and will add a little interest for the
use of the money for about 40 years.
After long course OF argun6nt the
old gentlemen finally cnnsented, very
| reluctantly, to accept pay for his COW.
And the price paid for that ordinary
grade cow is sufficient t. support her
former owner in far circumstances dur
ing the reminder of his lifetime. She

at the outset. as the only railroads passing to
New York and Philadelphia went through Bal
timore.
THE FIRST SOLDIERS TO COME.
The first cali for troops was made by Presi-
dent Lincoln on the 14th of April 1861. and the
first soldiers to enter the capital were from
Pennsylvania-the Washington Artillery Com
pany OF Pottsville. the National Light In
fantry OF the same town, the Ringgold Light
Artillery Of Reading the Logan Guards of
Lewistown and the Allen Light Infantry of Al
ientown, five hundred and thirty men. These
troops were allowed to pass through Baltimore
unmelested. though tainted by an angry mob.
ready for any violence. The officials of the
city, under a show of friendliness and with an
apparent desire to prevent collision. asked all
citizens to refrain from causing trouble with
the soldiers. There was no ifs hting. although
colored servant attached to the Washington
Artillery Company was struck in the head by
stone and severely wounded. A part of these
troops had no arms. They reached Washing
ton at about 7o'clock on the evening of the
18th. and were given the most hearty reception
by the loyal citizens and the officers of the gov
eminent, who felt that the danger of an out
break in their very midst must be expected at
any moment.
Washington was full of rumors, some of them
the reflections of what was actually being
planned beyond the lines. some mere fabrica-
tons, others partly true. There was nothing
too extravagant, however, to be believed by
the panic-stricken city, and every hour added
to the horrors of those first few days succeed
ing the opening acts of secession. The arrival
of these five hundred men from PENNSYLVANIA,
partially armed though they were, acted sooth-

of the stern realities of war, there we're the most
pronounced exhibitions of JOY. There were pa
rades both day and night. the whole city was
illuminated again and again and every one felt
that sweet peace was again to be known
throughout the land.
The painful shock which this general glad
ness received on the assassination of President
Lincoln could have been felt no where so keenly
as here. where the victim of John Wilkes Booth s
bullet was known to every one, and his great
kindly nature and his perfect touch with the
people was fully appreciated.
Then the Joy was changed to mourning and
the flags and banners which ornameBted both
public buildings and private dwellings gave
place to the emblems of sorrow While his
body lay in state thousands went to gaze upon
his rugged but kindly face. and when the SOL
emn funeral cortege passed down the avenue
the crowds which lined the sidewalks stood
hushed by the thought that they were witness
ing the last sad tribute to great and good
man.
But the world moves and while the country
was Borrowing for the murdered Lincoln the
last of the armies of the rebellion had capitu-
lated and the great war was over
ARRANGING FOR THE REVIEW.
To celebrate this closing of the war and to
the valiant soldiers an opportunity to see
the national capital which they had saved and
to afford the people an opportunity of looking
upon the heroes who had periled their lives
and had suffered severe hardships in defense
of their country. it was determined that all the
armies should pass in review before the Presi-
dent Of the United States and his cabinet
Consequently the army of the Potomac and
the army OF the Mississippi. which were the
two great divisions of the force commanded by
Gen. Grant. were massed on the south side Of

of Washington and for the first time in many
weeks the loyal ones slept in peace.
The Pennsylvania troops were CHARTERED in
the hall of the House Of Representatives and
the Capitol was lighted 80 that the city was in
formed that something unusual had occurred.
At first the most remarkable stories as to the
number Of the troops were circulated. many
OF them by the loyal citizens themselves with
the view to ailaying fears and to subduing the
spirit of instruction that was beginning to
grow too strong for comfort.
TIE SIXTH MASSACHUSETTS,.
Then'comes tale Of one Of the saddest in
cidents Of the war. On the 18th Of April Q
thousand men, composing the sixth regiment
Of Massachusetts, volunteers, marched through
the streets Of Baltimore and reached Washing
ton. The passage Of these troops through the
monumental city was marked By blood, almost
the first shed during the war. The regiment
was attacked by mob and pelted with stones
until It became necessary for them to fire in
self defense. Then, and only then, did they
open fre on their pursurers and nine citizens
were killed. Three Of the soldiers we're slain
and several wounded. The troops hurried
through the streets and boarded the train

followed still by the mob, pushed on
