Wanted to Make a Snug Thing of 1t.
1t happened about o'clock one morn
ing.
A man with flushed face and attired
in white robe stuck his head out of a
bay window and yelled:
sis that your alarm clock?'
A snore was waited through the win
dow of the next house, and that was the
only answer.
81 say!" yelled the man again, sis that
your alarm clock?"
HUH" came muttered response.
SIS it your clock that's waking the en-
tire neighborhood?" shouted the man.
"My clock?' came the voice again.
Then after pause, "Hold on a minute
and I'll see."
Then a draped figure carrying clock
appeared at the window of the next
house.
"By George! it was my clock" it said.

"Well, it wakes mel' roared the first

And then you get up and wake me-

me know and I'll put the clock where
it'll catch the man in the house on the

nounced failure. Squirt was so unpopu-
lar that his owner at one time ordered
him to be led out and shot. The groom
begged so hard to have the horses life
spared that his request was granted
This was before he got Marske, sire of
Eclipse.
Squirt was by Bartlett's Childers, and
it was probably somewhere along the line
of ancestry of the sire of Bartlett's Chill
ders that Eclipse inherited his high
hips and low withers.
The sire of Bartlett's Childers was the
barley Arabian. 1t is probable that the
latter was horse of much substance.
Pick observes that 1.-THE barley Arabian
was the property of Mr.. barley of But
tercramp, near York. a brother of that
gentleman, being an agent of merchan-
disc abroad, became member of hunt
ing club, by which means he acquired
interest to procure said Arabian for a
moderate sum, and which he sent over to
England as present to his brother"
This is all the light we get from that
eminent equine author concerning the
barley Arabian. There are two very
suggestive facts in this statement; First,
the barley Arabian was used as hum
ter. 1t is only the strongest and big
gest boned of saddle horses that are suit
able for carrying weight over re ugh
ground in hunting. This suggests that
the barley Arabian was an unusually
strong big-boned horse. The moderate
sum for which he was bought indicates
that he might have inherited plebian
cross from some source. This is mere
conjecture, however. His breeding is
not given.
The low withers and high rump of
English Eclipse and many of the descen-
dants of Messenger suggest, as before re-
marked, that they may have inherited
this peculiar conformation from the same
source. 1t has already been stated that
Eclipse was by Marske, son of Squirt, by
Bartlett's Childers. Sampson is recorded
by Blaze, son of Flying Childers. Now,
Flying Chiders and Bartletts Childers
were full brothers, both being by the
barley Arabian, out of Betty Leeds, by
old Careless.
Eclipse was not only tall horse,
standing upwards of l6 hands, but he
also had great substance. Stonhenge
says he was very low before, yet stood
sixty-six inches, and was two inches
higher behind than forward. Percival
says: "He (Eclipse) was big horse in
every sense of the word, tall in stature,
lengthy and capacious in body and large
in his limbs. He rose very little
in his withers, being higher behind than
before. His limbs were leng-
thy and broad, and his joints large. &.
his knees and hooks broad and well
formed"
Another writer says that Eclipse was
SO low over the wlthers that the points
of his shoulders projected above them on
either side, so that if small cask were
laid between them it would not roll off.
Now if Marske, l3i-hand great
grandson of the barley Arabian, could
get horse of such huge proportions and
remarkable speed as English Eclipse,
does it seem improbable that Blaze,
grandson of the same barley Arabian,
got the big-boned, l5-2-hand Sampson?
We are not convinced from the interest
ing facts so ably presented by Vision
that the compilers of the English stud
book made a mistake in recording Samp-
son, Engineer, Mambrno and Messen-
ger as thoroughbred.

1t to. We knew that it's editor would hy
into passion Why3 Because what we
stated was true and the truth always
hurts the evil doer and his sympathizsrs
The people will be more likely to accept
the testimony of truthful aud impartial
witnesses delivered upder the sanction OF
an oath as the true history OF the
matter In controversy, than the
distorted, garbled and partisan
statements Of the Morning News
IL relies entirely upon the testimony OF

made by the negrs who was conspicuous
as the leader of the mob to make out
justification Of the conduct Of the four
jurors whe declared by their action that
mob violence at an election when II re-
bounded to the benefit Of the Republican
party is excusable. OF course the News
accepts the statement Of the negro as
absolute verify in the face of the most
positive evidence Of guilt, but we are
a little curious to understand why A.

Charles f. Thomas so strongly, especially
50, since this saGe journal took occasion
to eriticIse OF treat with sort OF con
tempt Mr.. Thomas statements, made in
refuting charges Of official mineonduct
preferred by the Morning News against

Thomas speaks in defence of
Democratic official the Morning
News by inuendo tries to discredit or
impair the weight of his testimony, but
when his testimony lends countenance
to an ignorant and riotous conspiracy
against fair expression of the popular
will whereby the Republican party ia
