General Grants FOndness for Horses,

In his campaigning with Grant"
in the March Century, Gen. Horace
Porter tells an anecdote OF the pun
ishment Grant bestowed upon team
ster who abused his horse. Gen. Por-
ter says that Grant referred to the in
cident, which seemed to make great
impression upon him, at the dinner ia
BILE, and then said: elf people knew
how much more they could get out of
horse by gentleness than by harshness,
they would save great deal of trouble
both to the horse and the man. A
horse is particularly intelligent ami
NAL; he can be made to do almost any
thing if his master has intelligence
enough to let him know what is re-
Quired. Some men, for instance, when
they want to lead horse forward, turn
toward him and stare him in the face.
He, of course, thinks they are barring
his way, and he stands still. If they
would turn their back to him and move
on he would naturally follow. l am
looking forward longingly to the time
when we can end this war and can
settle down on my st. Louis farm and
raise horses. love to train young
colts, and 1 will invite you all to visit
me and take hand in the amusement
When old age comes on, and 1 get toe
feeble to move about, l expect to de-
rive my chief pleasure from sitting in 6
big arm chair in the center OF ring
sort of training course-holding {
colts leading line in my hand, ant
watching him run around the ring
He little foresaw that torturing dis
ease was to cut short his life before h'
could realize his cherished hopes of en-
joying the happiness of the peaceful
old age which he anticipated.

Punch Robertson's dramatic com pany rendered Rose Cottage" last evening. to the delight of q large and appreciatiye audience. The cast was strong and the characters uniformly well sustained. With q better play the company would be able to do exeellently. The crown attraction of the evening, because oi It's novelty, was the phantoseope, introduced between the fourth and fifth acts. This wonderful machine reproduces scenes just as they oc- cured, giving expression. motion and incidents identieally as in the original. It Is Il marvellous instru- ment and gives one q deeper lmpres. sion than ever of the transcendent genius of Edison.
 The piece tonight Is "The Buck eye, and the audience will find 1t full of fun, pathos, and sentiment. It Is much on the order of "Old Home stead"
 Mir. Robertson regrets that last night he had to pause In his part a. the climax of tbe play and reproye the gallery. Wishing his play to re- eeiye the patronage of the best peo- pie in Pine Bluff he desired perfect order as essential to this end, hence his strietures of the gallery.

The Legislature Acted We'll It's Part in the
 Selection Of Its Presiding Officers.
 Hon. William l.. Moose, of Con- way county, was yesterday chosen President of the Senate. The con test for the office was settled in a caucus early in the morning.
 MT. Moose is a lawyer residing at Morrilton. He is 39 years of age and q hold-over Senator. He is a man of ability, andwill preside over the de Alterations of the Senate with fair ness and dignity.
 Gen. James c. Tappan, the new Speaker of the House, needs no in- troduction to the people of Arkan- sas. For nearly half century he has lived among the people of this State and has always been thorough ly insympathy with the great ma iority of them. He was born in Will liamson county, Tenn, in 1926, and settled at Helena, Ark, in 1S4S.
 Gen. Tappan graduated at Yale College. He read law under Judge Geo. s. Yerger in Yicksburg, Miss, and was admitted to the bar In the year he moved to Arkansas. In 1851 he was elected to the Legislature from Phillips county. From 1852 to 1860 he was receiver of the United States land office at Helena.
 At the breaking cut of the war Gen. Tappan became colonel of the Thirteenth Arkansas Infantry in the Confederate army. Afterward he was promoted to brigadier general In the Mississippi department and served in that department until the close of the war. Gen. Tappan's war record was q brilliant one and his services were conspicuous for their value to the cause for which he fought, It has often been said that he is the only general that ever whipped Grant. the sentiment be ing based upon his repulseOf Grants troops at Belmont.
 After the war Gen. Trppan re. sumed the practice of law at Hell ena. with Maj. ] J. Horner as his partner. He married daughter of Judge Samuel Anderson, of Tennes- see, and neice of Gov. Aaron V. Brown of this State.
 Gen. Tappan Is a Chesterfield in his manners and, Is a true type of the Southern gentleman. He is broad-guaged and progressive and welded to pushing Arkansas to the front in the sisterhood of States.
