AMERICAN HORSES ABROAD.
The French Dislike the ImpOrtatiOns
From the United States.

From the New York Herald.
In reference to the intention of NJ. Georges
Graux. deputy for the Pas-de-Calais. to
question the minister of war on the alleged
purchase of American horses by the military
authorities, the Poste publishes the state
ment made by NJ. Lavalard at the last meet
ing of the French Agricultural Society.
NJ. Lavalard says he saw the arrival of
several cargoes of these animals, which
come from Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois and
Wisconsin. They met with ready sale.
These horses are useful in many ways, and
French breeders could not help but view
with CONSERVATION these arrivals from
America. NJ. Lavalard asked whether the
apathy manifested by French agriculturists
did not favor this state of affairs. French
breeders placed upon the market horses
from three aid half to four and half
years old. The animals were in bad condi-
tiCn and far inferior to the American horses.
which were five years old and ready for any
kind of work. In addition to this. the price
of the latter, even when the cost of trans
port was reckoned, was below that of
French. Danish, German or Hungarian
horses.
So far French markets have been little
affected by these importations- 1t was prin-
cipally in Germany that the last cargoes had
been sold. and the Americans. says NJ. Lava
lard appear certain of success. In addition
to the importations already made orders
have been delivered for more than 1900 OF
these horses. which are to be sold in Europe
next spring.
NJ. Lavalard. a high authority on these
matters, thinks that IL France understands
her role in the present situation she will
make an effort to solve the difficulty. The
administration des haras and the minister
of war must renounce the present methods.
The purchase of three-year-olds should
cease completely and a thorough study OF
horse breeding should be made.

The man in the chair saw in the glass a

rule not to trust girls. Perhaps the low
temperature of skating pond, coupled with
the infrequency of ice to skate ON, is at the
bottcm of this thawing when there is Ques-

Death of Cal olIne spann.

This good old woman, who has been so
long known in our com mmunity, died on
April Oath, at her home In the city. She
was about eighty years Of age, and was
one of the old land marks among the
colored people. She came to this County
when quite young, and was here when
our city was very small hamlet. The
writer has known her all his life, and can
bear testimony to the fact, that kinder
hearted and more faithful woman never
lived than old "Aunt' Caroline. AS
servant before and during the war, she
was always dutiful and respectful to her
owners. She was noted cook In her
best days, and we remember the many
good meals we have eaten In her humble
home. She raised a large family of chill
dren. Though it has been thirty years
since she was made free woman, yet
she retained her love and respect for her
white friends, and they in return loved
and respected her. She joined the church
at an early age. and lived the life Of an
humble follower Of Crist, and died
happy and triumphant Christian. Poor
old "Aunt" Caroline, We will never see
your kind old face again, but to the end
of life we will remem Der your many acts
Of love and deeds of kindness, and hope
To meet you at last In the better land.
ONE WHO KNEW AND LOVED Her.

There was an enormous flight OF
wild ducks going southwark over this
city yesterday morning. They seemed
to be passing from II O'Clock until 8.
The main body could not be seen In the
darkness, but many stragglers few low;
The electric lights seemed to blind and
confuse the birds and some Of them few
about blindly. In many parts Of town
they were picked up after daylight Grip
pied or exhausted. Six were found In
one back yard. Great numbers stopped
in ponds around town to feed and enter
prising citizens who went out early with
guns secured Sunday dinners without
trouble. The firing sounded like small
battle in progress in the meadows along
the river. One party of three bagged
eleven ducks In about an hour and others
did almost as well.-Greenville Neaos,
