A NESTOR AMONG HORSES.

Here Is One Which Is Said to Have Beer
Sixty-four Y ars Old.
=, In many recent prints there have
been remarks on the age and longev-
ity. Of the horse which some readers
may consider very amusing. In
"Skeavington 8 Modern History of
Farriery;,' now before me, I find a
record of horse at that time--1S22
to be in his sixty. fourth year.
The horse at that period belonged
to the Mersey and Iswell Navigation
company. He was bred by Edward
Robinson of Willgrave farm, in
Woolston, a short distance from
Warrington. Whelf young-and in
deed until he reached the age of 30
-theanimal manifested an extreme
! " vicious disposition, not. only to
human beings, but also to dogs and
any other creatures that happened
to oppose his progress or stood in
his way. This temper was particu-
larly shown when at the dinner hour
or other periods cessation of labor
took place. He was impatient to get
into. the stable on such occasions
ard Would use his heels and teeth
4, to remove ,s.any impediment placed
in his way.
The writer says his front teeth
were perfect, but very long, while
his bride teeth were tusks, which,
!, after growing to an unusual length,
became half inverted and described
an uncouth semicircle, convexing to
the upper jaw. His lower lip was
neither so loose nor so pendulous as
is generally seen in very old horses.
His eyes were described as being
very remarkably placed in the socket
and were at the same time so bright
and clear, presenting altogether so
perfect an appearance as to afford
strong presumption that his sight
was as good as that which is usu-
ally. found in horses at the age of -
or IA years.
Thirty years of his life, it seems,
were spent in mill, and the re-
mainder principally in the Mersey
and Iswell Navigation company tow
ing boats. When in full flesh and in
the yigor of life. be would scarcely
have measured Is hands high. He
grazed in summer on the banks of
the Mersey and in winter was taken
into tho stable and fed on mashes
and soft feed. He then possessed
the use Of all his faculties in tolera.

and rise with ease. and when in the
meadows would frequently play and

iiAt that-tine there were no symp.

treated. and we naturally suppose

work. Bet t~eun the rounds of a
wheel and on the banks cf the Mer.

his life, doing such labor as would
only amount to wholesome exercise.

Value Of Q Slave.

When the slave trade was in full
swing, it was a common thing for
merchants on the west coast of At
RIGA to purchase a cargo of rum and
tobacco and give slaves in exchange
The price of primo slave when
Mungo Park was among the Mandin-
gos was from to IL minikallies,
the equivalent of l minikalli being
something like the following: Eight
cen gun fints, 4S leaves of tobacco,
20 charges of gunpowder and cut
lass. DR.. Livingstone, than whom
no explorer did more to expose the
ravages of the slave raider, says he
never knew of an African parent
selling his own offspring. When on
his first great missionary journey,
he relates how, in foray among
the Makololos, 80 captives were given
in exchange for three muskets. Liv-
ingstone is especially severe on the
Beers for looting his mission station
in 1859, killing many of the Bak-
wains and driving nearly 200 of his
mission children into slavery. The
Beers by so retarding his work and
making him uncomfortable at Kolo-
beng helped to decide him to move
northward, decision upon which
hung the future of modern African
progress.-Chambers' Journal.

We would very much like to see
this principle of moderation extend

are not employed in mill, nor can
