Ono Test In Huying a Horse.

When examining a horse with 4
view to purchasing, always have him
led down steep or stony descent at
the end of halter and with no whip
near him. Many horses when
brought out of the stable are excited
by the presence of strangers, and be
come still more so at sight of whip.
A slight lameness may therefore be
momentarily overlooked by the horse
himself, just as Il man under strong
excitement will sometimes forget a
sore foot. Leading the horse down Il
slope will show any defect in his
forequarters. and running him back
will develop any weakness that may
exist i'll his hind legs Horse sharp

During its brief life OF little over
four months the News has proved itself
lively, thriving youngster, and yester-
day, for the second time, it had to be
fitted with new clothes. The general
public, which has smiled approvingly
from the start on the young aspirant tor
its favor, smiled even more broadly last
night, and found the new suit altogether
becoming, if it is possible to judge from
the eagerness with which the first copies
We're snatched wet from the press, and
the speed with which the newsboys
rushed upon the street with their bun
dies and came scampering back in hot
haste without them sold OFT ard clam
oring for more.
Without exggeration the quick success
of the News has been phenomenal.
Providence recognized in it from the
day of its first issue something it had
long been waiting for, a staunch, clean
and enterprising Republican sheet, hot
on the scent of news and honest in its
support of the political principles which
have built mp the prosperity of this, our
busy manufacturing commonwealth OF
Rhode Island.
Providence gave cordial welcome to
the News, Rhode Island welcomed It,,
and, grateful for the instant response to
its efforts, grateful for prompt and more
than kindly appreciation, the NEWS in
four weeks doubled its size, in quick re-
solve to keep pace, yes, to exceed the
expectations of its friends. 1t has done
so. BY virtue of position it has become
the representative daily of Rhode
Island. 1t found place to fill and 1t
will strain every nerve to fill it worthily.
OF what il will do in the future it gave
earnest yesterday, when for the
second time it materially increased its
size and enlarged at the same time both
its local and telegraphic facilities. The
News is in the race to win. Last weeks
growth in circulation broke the record.
This weeks will suspass last, next week
will see gain beyond this weeks. The
host of its friends aud readers has be-
come Il mighty one. The News will set
the pace for its contemporaries.

THE MORRILL, MONEYS.

The promise of inestimable benefit to
the youth of Rhode Island is contained
in the proposition of Brown University
os set forth in the majority report of the
agricultural fund commission made to
the Assembly yesterday. So liberal is
the proposition and SO wide the vista Of
splendidly advantageous possibilities
does il open up, that it seems impracti-
cable that SO much can be really as
sured from the appropriations to be
made by the government. A business
corporation like that of Brown Univer-
sity, however, directory composed OF
eminent business men of long experience
and incompatible opportunities for the
best investment of funds, may be ex-
pected TO be able TO get the most that
there is out of any sum of money and
the handling of the Morrill, moneys
if entrusted to them will not only be
eminently safe but most advantageous
TO all concerned. Moreover, the univer-
sity will be elevated in public esteem,
and the school at Kingston will be ele-
waited by the application with the Uni
versity and its power and popularity
will be greatly extended. What is most
10 the point, our Rhode Island youth,
and great many of them, too, will
have opened to them educational advan-
tag,s of inestimalle value. Indeed, it
may be believed that in no State in the
Union will there be so great value
received for the Morrell fund as in Rhode
Island, il some such broad and liberal
plan as that proposed by Brown is inaug-
urated.
