We were agreeably surprised re-
Gently by being called upon by two
ladies from camp, who were among
the very first who ever reached this
high point in the mountains, and al
though we must be pretty rough look
ing fellows, we judge that we made
not the worst impression, as they
kindly invited us to their homes in
the camp village. They proved to be
ladies in the best sense and we enjoy
ed our call much. We keep bachelors

house work, since our cook got scared
by learning that we had big bear as
a mountain neighbor. He left us i'm

to enjoy it. The air is remarkably
clear and is perfectly dry. No rains
have fallen for six months and there

4 Bow with IL PurnnSc.

Cornelius NanderbiltS's real educa-
ton was gained in working on his
fathers farm, and in learning to sail
a boat, and drivea horse. He showed
in boyhood the very quality which
distinguished him as a mantle
power of accomplishing things in
spite Of difficulty and opposition.
When he was twelve years old, his
father took a contract for getting the
cargo out of Il vessel stranded near
Sandy Hook, and transporting it to
New York in lighters.
1t was necessary to carry the cargo
in wagons across a sandy spot. Cor
ncliuS, with little feet of light crS,
three wagons, their horses and drivers,
started from home charged with the
management of this difficult affair.
After loading the lighters and
starting them for the city, he had to
conduct his wagons home by land-;l
long distance over Jersey sands.
He left the beach with only six dol
lars and reached South Amboy penni-
less, with six horses and three men,
all hungry, still far from home, and
separated from Staten Island by an
arm Of the sea half mile wide. that
could only be crossed by paying the
ferryman six dollars.
This was a pulling predicament
for a boy of twelve, and he pondcrcd
long how he could get out Of it. At
length he went boldly to the only inn-
keeper of the place, and said:
Il have three teams here that |
want to get over to Staten Island. If
you will lend me the money to pay
the ferryman, I'll leave you my best
horse, and if | don't send you back
the money within forty-eight hours
you can keep the horse.
The innkeeper looked into the
bright, honest eyes Of the boy for Il
moment, and said: "I'll do it,"
He gave the boy the money, and Il
horse was left in pawn, but he was
redeemed within the time promised.

annual breeding at home. but this was
too generally done at haphazard, and
often from old mares worn out with
work, and totally unfit to breed and ma
ture vigorous colts, but they ignorantly
thought the contrary, and have SO con-
tinucd in their error. The main thing
which has governed them in the selec-
ton OF stallion was the amount of his
fee. They regarded not the pedigree
nor the superior powers and makeup. If
he was only tolcrably good-looking, and
very cheap, that was sufficiently salts
factory. What result could one expect
from such Il course? Why, nothing but
horses too often not worth the cost of
their rearing. But there were many ex
captions, and the general farming stock
reared in America has been fairly good.
The most valuable horses used in
America for the Improvement of the
coach and trotting stock were Mes
senger and Mambrino, imported from
England. "a portrait of the latter, who
was the handsomer of the two, is pre-
sentadl Within the past fifty years the
form and style, as we'll as the pace of the
trotting horse have been greatly inn
proved These early breeders cared
less for looks than for pace, and the
question with them was: How fast can
he go? Now, n fine form must be
coupled with a fast pace. The latter, as
n general, thing, has marvelovsly in
creased from mile in three minutes to
two minutes and eight and one-fourth
seconds, and many are sanguine that
few years hence the milo will be done in
two minutes. The general public will
never care To ride at So fast a pace, and
the chief object in breeding a horse up
to it is to render him certain. when
crossed on common mares, to increase
the pace Of his offspring, it being desir-
able To obtain Il natural easy gait from
them OF eight to ten miles within the
