The audubon Monument.

Audubon was splendid example of
the value of enthusiasm-enthus of
the real sort, which does not burn out
in a few weeks or few years, and is
not to be quenched by any amount of
what the world rightly calls "cold
water" He was born to do one thing,
and he did it.
When he had been at work for fifteen
or twenty years upon his studies of
American birds. and had filed his port
folio with about thousand colored
portraits, he was obliged to go upon a
journey.
His treasures were deposited. mean
while, in the warehouse of friend, and
on his return, after few weeks alb
sence, he found that the rats had de-
stroyed every picture.
The shock brought on fever, which
was near to proving fatal. but as soon
as he recovered from it his natural
buoyancy and energy reasserted them
selves. He took up anew his gun and
his pencil, and after three years of hard
work his portfolio was again filled.
Audubon died in 1851. His grave, in
Trinity Cemetery, New York City, is
unmarked by 80 much as common
gravestone, and tho New York Academy
of Sciences has been engaged for sew
eral years in raising money with which
to erect suitable monument over the
spot.

There are hundreds of horses called
Arab in America which have no right to
the name. Almost every spotted horse,

less Arab, while it is stated as a posi-
! tive fact by no less an authority than
!ohn II. Wallace that On Arab may be
any color in the world but spotted.
y Arab is g calico in color. It is an
Hceedingly difficult thing to get pure
bred Arab. The Bedouin chief will not
sell one at any price, and the only ones
procured are secured by raids on the
tribes of the Euphrates Valley. In the
whole United States there are only
three strictly pure bred Arabian horses.
Two of these are the stations Leopard
and Linden Tree, which were presented
to Gen. Grant by the Sultan Of Turkey,
and a mare called Naomi, which has
been imported from England. One of
the two Grant stations, Leopard, is not
