AN HISTORICAL DOCUMENT.
The Original Declaration of independence
of Texas Unearthed In Washington.

of Texas Unearthed In Washington.
Washington, June 1.-The curious
fact has been brought to light that the
state department is in possession of
the original of the Declaration of In
dependence adopted by the congress of
Texas when that state was part of
Mexico. Hon. Seth w. Shepard asso-
ciate justice of the court of appeals of
the District of Columbia, recently
wrote to the state department on the
subject, saying the original paper was
held by the federal government, and
desiring to know whether it did not
properly belong to the state. Yester-
day afternoon the state department
archives were searched and the docu-
ment found, bound in a volume OF
diplomatic correspondence relating to
the recognition of Texan independ-
ence by the United States. 1t is un-
doubtedly the original, signed by Sam
Houston and his colleagues. An en-
dorsemcnt on the paper by Secretary
Forsyth says the document was left
at the department by "Mr Wharton"
Who Mr.. Wharton was the state de-
ment is anxious to ascertain. Secre-
tary Olney wrote Judge Shepard that
there seems to be no evidence that the
declaration properly belonged to the
United States government and promis
ing to look into the matter of pos

Moscow, June livery effort is be-
ing made to clear the lIodynslly plain
OF the dead upon it who lost their
lives in the frightful disaster of Sat
urday. Last evening a number of
bodies were found on the edge of the
plain and in the villages around. These
dead were injured and crawied until
death overlook them. The functions
in connection with the coronation fes-
tivities are being given as though
nothing had happened. The pleasure
resorts are open as usual. Several
wealthy residents gave garden parties
yesterday and things generally are
going on as though nothing out of the
ordinary had occurred. Many of the
Moujils danced about beer casks while
the dead were lying around. The
mob subsequent to the disaster callous-
ly stood by the corpses and received the
doles. All the bodies of the victims
were inferred yesterday. About half
OF the dead were identified. The un-
claimed dead filled eleven trenches
which were fifty yards long. Priests
otficiated at all the interments. Many
pathetic scenes were witnessed as the
bodies were consigned to the earth,
Thousands of persons were in the
cemetery weeping and praying. Upon
the hearts of all the dead were placed
icons, or sacred pictures. To-day the
city has resumed it's normal aspect and
stranger, unless told, would never
for moment imagine that only two
days ago one of the most frightful
calamities that ever occurred in Rus
sia had taken place just outside the

"princes learn no art truly but the art
Of Craftsmanship. The reason is the brave
beast is no fatterer. He will throw q

The Greek theory of education, as we
End it in Plato, was Of q twofold kind
lone of gymnastics relating to the body,
the other Of music for the sake of q good
state Of the SOUL Briefly, as Mr.. Pa
ter expresses it, "a gymnastic fused in
music" This system of education the
Greeks applied no less to the training
of horses than Of men. In'the earliest
extant treatise on riding, Xenophon
pointed out that Workmanship, like
dancing, was dependent fundamentally
on the play impulse, that for anything
to be done well it must be done for
pleasure; "what the horse does under
compulsiOn is done without understand
ing, and there is no beauty in it any
more than if one should whip and spur
a dancer. The horse must become an
artist, too, in his manner, and use his
limbs with rythmical freedom.
So far was this carried that Athenaus
relates how the Sybarites taught even
their horses to dance at their feasts to
the music of the flute, and ON one occa-
sion their enemies put their knowledge
Of this habit to humorous account by
taking out flute players to battle and
winning the cavalry over to their side
by causing the horses to dance to a IA
vorite air. just as the Pied Piper played
the rats Of Hamelin into the Weser.-
