HOW TO BUY A HORSE.

An Old HOrseman Utters Few Words
of Warning to the Inexperienced.
If you want to buy a horse don't be-
lieve your own brother. Take no mans
word for it. Your eye is your market.
Don't buy horse in harness. Unhitch
him and take everything off but his hal
ter, and lead him around. If he has a
corn or is stiff, or has any failing, you
can see it. Let him go himself away,
and if he walks right into anything you
know he is blind. No a.ter how clear
and bright his eyes are, he can't see
any more than a bat. Back him. too.
Some horses show their weaknesses
or tricks in that way when they don't
in any other. But, be as smart as yOu
can. you'll get caught sometimes. says
an old hOrseman, in the Scientific Amer
lean. Even the expert gets stuck. A
horse may look ever so nice and go a
great pace, and yet have fits. There
isn't q man who could tell it until some
thing happens. Or he may have a
weak back. Give him the whip and of
he goes for a mile or two, then all Of a
sudden he stops on the road. After a
rest he starts again, but he soon stops
for good, and nothing but a derrick can
start him. The weak points about a
horse can better be discovered while
standing than while moving. II he is
sound, he will stand firmly and square
" on his limbs without moving them,
with legs plumb and naturally poised;

By hand Of Peace the storm was stayed
Smoothed was the wrinkled brow
OF scowling War. Subdued, dismayed,
Shattered their boastful VOW,
Our foemen in their ships again
Sped DER the trackless sea,
While gladstone notes from myriad
threats
Praised God for Liberty.
And DER the land by valor saved,
Our war-rent flag in triumph waved.
Then ring the bells, and young and old
With shouts the music swell

That hero grand by whose strong hand,
Expressions chains were riven.

eyes In horses indicate moon blindness
or something else. A bad tempered
one keeps his ears thrown back; a
stumbling horse has blemished knees.
When the skin Is rough and harsh and
does not move easily to the touch, the
horse is heavy eater and digestion
bad. Never buy horse whose breath
ing organs are at all impaired. Place
your ear at the heart, aud If :, wheeling
sound Is heard it is an indication of
trouble.

Lives in our hearts like Washington.
When in the grasp of Tyranny
Our country PROSTATE bowed,
When Wrong held sway on land and sea
And Right by force was cowed,
The latent fires in patriot hearts
To mighty fame burst forth,
And loud the call for frecmen all
To rise and prove their worth.
Scarce had the echoes died away,
Ere legions sought the fields of fray.
In that great hour of need, the Lord,
In mighty wisdom, raised
A man to WELD the leaders sword,
Where fires of battle blazed.
A man of valor, in whose breast
Was throned loyal heart,
A man whose hand was nerved to rend
The CALLING chains apart.
And hurl the hosts of royalty
Back in defeat across the sea.
Our stricken land DER hill and plain
Was wounded with the graves
In which through all these years have
lain
The fallen hero braves.
The tangled grass ON prairie wide,
The leaves in shaded wood,
The timid flowers in Natures bowers,
Were stained with patriot blood

teresting relics of the early history OF
our country which should be preserved
for the instruction and edi6cation of pos
terity. In this article pictures are given
Of some few of these interesting places
where Washington and his generals lived
and which were the background for deeds
and counseIs so important in our coun-
ty's early life.
It was in April, 177G, that Washington
first went to New York and took up his
headquarters there. They were in q
house on Pearl street, opposite Cedar.
There he remained until summoned to
visit Congress at Philadelphia toward the
end of May. On his return, June q, he
took up his abode at the Mortimer house,
later known as Richmond Hill. The
presence of Mrs. Washington and the I'M
healthy condition Of the city of New
York at that time induced the command
er-in-chief to change his headquarters
from the Pearl street house to this more
salubrious situation. Here Washington
remained until the evacuation in Septem.

Els house, Harlem Heights.
L
ton established himself Mt White Plains.
His headquarters here were ut the Miller
house, then located to the north of the
village. This house, which is still stand
ing and well preserved, gained it's name
from its original owner. Elijah Miller, ad-
5utant Of Col. James brakes Westches-
Ter Regiment of minute men. 1t is a
frame building covered with clapboards.
The roof at the southeast front projects

style of architecture was very popular in
many of the country cottages of that pc

Jersey and established himself at Hack

August 10. 1777, the army had moved
from Schuylkill Falls and Washington
had taken up his headquarters ut Nesha-
niny camp, Bucks County, Pa, twenty
miles north of Philadelphia. The house
occupied by Washington was built Of
stone, and is still standing on the old New
York road, near the bridge over the little
Neshaminy creek, about half mile above
the present village of Huntsville. The

Come let us reason together. Some
things are necessary for comfort. health

to do without many OF the necessities
and all luxuries OF life but we intend
to have what is absolutely necessary
this year to sustain life and keep in
health to aid us in our battle OF the
year. Our wives and children must at
least have food to eat and ehoes to wear.
The latter will not cost you much, but
will help to preserve their health and
comfort.
We have made arrangements with j,

The fifth room is not the most pune

to finish.
The quartet in brass by Jenkins, Fell
Dickerson, West was the opening sel,c
ton and heartily a%pplauded. The trio"I
told you so" by Miss Blanch Sherman,
Frank Cowdep. and Oscar Yarger re.
called wildly the most fascinating eli
max in the most charming production
ever given IN the city, and pleased the
audience ~inordinately.
A very pleasing selection was a beau.

panied by the Misses Mary and Mar

respectively. Miss Jennie exhibits a
very sweet, musical voice and sang with
fine feeling.
q. L. Getting, U. G. Knight. Edgar
Getting and Geo. Overing comprised
the male quartet which rendered a com.
ical selection admirably, and enjoyed vo.
ciferous applause.
Miss Margret Miner appeared in a
solo entitled "Ecstacy," which she rem.
dered with her accustomed eaoe and
grace.
A half hours intermission for refresh.
ments during which time the audience
did justice to and elegant variety OF
table delicacies, the people then resum
ed their seats to hear the first selection
in the latter part OF program which was
a cornet and piano duet by Miss Mary
Miner and Prof. Jenkins. Miss Miner
manipulated the piano keys fauItlessly,
and Prof. Jenkins accomplished some
fine work on the cornet, that for sur
passed anything in local cornetists. He
was loudly encored, but responded only
with a graceful bow which meant ''nuf."
A duet entitled THE best friends Of
all" was sung very prettily by Frank
Cowden and Miss Blanch Sellars. Both
were perfectly composed, and blended
with charming excellence.
Stewart Albright was greeted by
much friendly applause, as he assembled
the rostrum to render Q solo, Miss Igou
at the piano. Mr.. Albright sang his
selection in delightful strain, and won
many Of the laurels Of the evening to
getherwith loud applause and crafty
