"Our previous question can only be

there shall be no debate Until it is

it be decided af1irmatively that the main

to precedence over motions to amend,

GARABALDl, THE BENNETT HORSE
ETC

l.
Mr.. Blanchard of Concord, y. H., has
very promising young stallion by Nik-
ing (2:l9i), out of Bessie Snow, a mare
bred in Temple, Me-, and owned for IA time
by the late David Snow of Andover, this
State. The sire of Bessie Snow was a
small, rapid. gated stallion called Cara
baldi, that we saw exhibited along with
Howes Bismarck and several others at
Pennington, Me-, one day IN drizzling
rain some years ago. Garabaldi was by
the Bennett HOr e, which made many
seasons in the northern part of Franklin
county, Me-, from 1855 to 1871. He was
black horse, with a long and round but
rather light barrel and long hips, one of
which was capped. He was very easy
gated, and many of his get were square.
Open-gated trotters, but none of them
ever beat 2 80.
The late |. T Lambert of Phillips, Me-,
had one that could trot in about , 30,
which he brought to Boston and sold
Freeman Bunnell had a che smut stallion
by him that could trot well down in
the tlIirties. We remember him as the
fastest and most showy-gaited of all the
Bennett Horses get. Mr.. Bunnell moved
to Oregon or Washington Territory, and
took this stallion along with him when
he started. but the horse died, if we re-
member correctly, either before reaching
his destination or shortly afterwards.
The Bennett Horse was by the Old
Eaton out spotted or piebad mare
which the late Hiram Stoyell of Farm
ington owned for some time. She was
called an Arabian. Joshua Bracket of
Phillips had one of the same color, forty
five years ago, called old Kate, which we
remember well. She was nicked, and of
course carried high but rather brief
tail. Kate was not fast, but her daugh-
tiers proved good brood mares. The late
Deacon Levi Bailey had one of them,
which he used for brood purposes. She
would NOT own her first colt, and broke
several of his ribs by kick. The young
ster was brought up by hand, and
though not improved in looks by the
rough treatment of his dam, proved quite
speedy trotter. |. Il. Lambert, who
was then merchant tailor and the lead
ing horseman in Phillips, developed the
colt some and sold him at a good profit.
The late Jessie Wing had another of
old Hates daughters which he bred to
Sandy River Trotter, or the Allen Horse
by Old Eaton. She produced colt
which was kept entire, and went by the
name of Sandy River Boy. There were
II few other spotted animals in Franklin
county about that time, which probably
originated from the same source as the
mares above mentioned. 1t was claimed
that they were got by stallion which
carried Arabian blood. Nearly all of
the descendants of these mares had very
white border around the eyeball, and not
few were "watch-eyed."
The Bennett Horse flourished at about
the time Flying Eaton and Young
Ilogarth were in their prime. The Ben
nett was rather the more popular of the
three at first, partly on account of the
popularity of the Eaton stock at that
time. His get were somewhat larger as
ii rule than that of the other two, and
when young showed very handy way

QUEER FREAKS OF MEMORY.
The Case OF Young Woman Who Had
Two Scuaratc I;YeS.

Three extraordinary instances OF
what doctors call periodic amnesia'
were related to me last night by pro.
minent physician attached to tho New
York hospital, says writer in the New
York Telegram. The first was that OF
a young American woman who on
awaking from a protracted sleep lost
memory of all she had before learned.
Her memory had been capacious and
well stored with Il copious stock OF
ideas. Unexpectedly she fell into u
profound sleep which continued
several hours beyond the ordinary term
On awaking she was discovered TO have
lost every trace Of acquired knowledge.
All yestiges. both of words and things,
We're obl;tcratcl. by now efforts she
again acquired the art Of spelling. read
ing, writing and calculating, and grad
ually became acquainted with persons
and objects like Il being for the first
time brought into the world. In these
exercises she made considerable pro-
fc;ency. After a fow months another
fit of so,nnolency possessed her. On
rousing from it she found herself re-

her afterward. The former condition
of her existence she used to call the old
state and the latter the new state. In
the old state she possessed fine power:
of penmanship. In the new she wrote
a poor. awkward hand. having had
neither the time nor the means to be-
come an expert.

RESTORING THE SIGHT.
Novel Appliance. for Curing Various
Troubles of the EYes.

| 1t il 4 wcll-known fact that higher
! civilization is always attended by new
and special forms of disease. The eye
is peculiarly subject to ailments en-
! tailed by modern conditions, and their
specific nature ard remedies have been
clearly defined by ocuiists. Ii may be
mentioned incidentally that not long
ago attention was drawn to the fact
that new disease of the eye peculiar
, to New York was caused by the fnc
particles of iron disseminated through
the air along the line of the elevated
roads by the friction and conclusion of
the trains. But beside the more COM
pick forms of disease there are simpler
and more primitive classes. for the
cure of which less elaborate treatment
is usually rcsorted to.
When any affection Of the eye is de-
pendent on the state of the surrounding
tissues. or a sluggishness in the circu-
lation OF the eyc-ball and not due to
an organic defect OF the lens. or when
the nerves OF the eye are affected by
sympathy with the nervous system
generally. various simple remedies are
brought into rcquisition. Among
these are fermentation. rubbing OF the
temples and dry cupping.' The last
named treatment is regarded as i'm
proving the circulation Of the blood in
and around the eye. and as restoring
the convexity of the cornea. thus cur
ing longs ghtedness, shortsightedness.
weakness of sight. dimness of vision
and other affections Of the eye.
For such purposes various cups and
Indian rubber ball appliances. are often
employed and the modification of this
treatment is the subject Of the illustra-
ton now given, which shows Il new
invention just patented in England.
The merit OF such devices Us these can
only be determined by experience. but.
pending thorough and reliable test
of the invention. it is but fair to re-
gard the calm of the inventor that he
has devised an improvement on the
ivory cup and rubber ball for cases
where the regulation OF the suction
and tension is of the utmost impor-
lance. and has rendered pos ;ible the
more effective placing of the cup at
tachmcnts on tho co,nca of the eyes
as a sound one. He has certainly de-
viscd an ingenious modification of APP
pliances now used. -Pittsburg Dis

An Important Suit Began.

The trouble arising out of the DIS
the Superior Forge works, has at last

Land Company brings suit against

and Ira W. Burhans to recover the
site originally decided to IL. +. {. Mich

stipulated conditions as to the extent
and value of the i'm proyements to be
made by the grantee which conditions
the complaint alleges have not been
observed either by Mr.. Nichols, now
deceased, or his successors to the grant.
The complaint StipulateS that the
building and equipment are not such

of the contract nor has the plant en-
plowed the agreed number of hands

the works to avoid the lapsing of the
deed. and that the works are now
closed and have been SO for several
weeks On these grounds the com
planant asks that the deed be declared
invalid, and that the damages ne
equalized.

NkSBY'S GHOST.
An Amusing, but Ghostly Story of the
IIumorist'3 Burial.

| One of the most amusing incidents
connected with Nasty occurred just
! after his death. It has been kept out
| of the newspapers up to this time, but
the story is too good to lose. Nasty
was great favorite in Toledo, and
when he died his funeral was largo
one. There We're hundreds of car
| r;ages and bushels of flowers. After
the funeral the body was placed for
some days prior to its final burial in a
large vault in the cemetery. Now.
it happened that on the same day that
the funeral OF the great humorist took
place Toledo had another big ceremony
| of the same nature. The deceased in
the latter case was one of the most
loved society ladies' of the city. and the
flowers here were also numerous and
beautiful
This lady was also put in the samo
vault with Nasty. and the floral offer
ings We're carried out and placed on
her coffin. After tho ceremony was
over as often occurs in such cases.
the family OF the lady wanted to pre-
serve photographs of these floral
servant to go to the vault and bring
the flowers into the photograph gal
lery. Now Patrick Murphy-for so I
will call the man for short-had holy
horror OF cemeteries. He was very
superstitious and he approached the
vault with fear and trembling. He
gradually got to the door. however.
and found it open. He looked in and
then gave a terrible Shrek dropped
his hat and ran as if the devil was
after him. He did not stop running
until he came to a factory a long dis
tancc from the cemetery. Here he
was stopped by a crowd of workmen.
who demanded what was the matter.
All brea.hless he told them that
Nasty had either been buried alive or
that his ghost had broken of tho top
of the coffin. and he was sitting up in
it. The workmcn laughed at him and
called him fol. He persisted in his
story, and they finally decidel to 60
and see. After much purs Uasion they
succeeded in dragging the Irishman
back with them and finally reached the
door OF the vault. They looked in and
found that the Irishman had told the
truth. The body. in its grave clothes.
was half out of the coffin. but it was
not alone, as when the man first saw
it. A sculptor stood beside it, and he
was taking. with plaster Of paris, a
