The Cap a Liberty.

From very early times one of the dis.
tinguishing marks Of a slave, both in
Greece and oriental countries generally,
was the lack Of any covering for the
head. Accordingly the cap came to be
considered the insignia Of liberty, and
when slaves were given their freedom
they were presented with cap as an
emblem Of it. In Sparta the helots wore
q cap Of dogskin and this was reckoned
q badge Of servitude. but upon gaining
their freedom this was replaced by
cap of q different material, Of another
shape and ornamented with flowers. A
similar custom was observed in Rome,
where the presentation Of the pileus or
cap was always a part Of the ceremony
Of manumitting a slave hence arose
the proverb, "Servos ad pileum vo-
care" Also ON medals the cap is the
symbol Of liberty and is usually repre-.
sented as being held in the right hand
BY the point. When cap was exposed
to the peoples view on the top Of
spear. as in the case Of the conspiracy
against Cesar. it was intended as a
public invitation to them to embrace
the liberty that was offered them. The
Goddess of Liberty on Mount Aventine
was represented as holding cap in her
hand as a symbol Of freedom. The JAG.
obins wore red cap during the French
revolution. and in England blue rap
with white border is used as a symbol
Of liberty. The custom which prevails
among university students of wearing
cap is said to have had IT'S origin in q
wish to signify that the wearers had &C
quired full liberty and were no longer
subject to the rod Of their superiors.-

Indian Blankets.

Blanket collecting is one Of the diver.
sions Of the officers wives who follow
their husbands fortunes to western
forts. In New Mexico among the Nava.
joes these blankets are curious products.
The designs are original with each
worker and are interesting imprints OF
individual impressions. One displayed
by an army woman, lately returned from
q considerable stay at fort near Santa
Fe. has black trains of cars wandering
over its red ground. The Indian who
made 1t evidently admired the sweep Ct

as possible in the blanket. Another in

SALE OF HORSES.

Quartermaster Stock in Eurcpe-Three
 Fine Young Horses Shipped to VI
 enna, Austria. yf if
 During recent years many fast and valuable horses sired by Quartermas- ter, 2:21A, owned by Rundle & White of Danbury, Conn, have been shipped to Europe and disposed of there at high prices. Many of these horses won considerable money and secured low records in the trotting circuits In this country, after which they were shipped to Europe, where their rec ords were lowered and more money awarded to them. It is proyerbial among many horsemen that the Quar- termasters are winners on both sides of the water. It is doubtful if there is any breed of trotting horses that sells better in Europe than horses of this strain.
 Ebert Kipp, the popular horseman of Peekskill, N. r. sold last week to Arthur w. Brown three young horses bred by MT. Kipp. Two of the horses are very fine pair of marses with at tractive style and considerable speed. They are dark brown in color, with long flowing tails and full names. They are full sisters and are fashioIMbly bred as follows: Sired by Quartermas- ter, 2:21A he by Alcyone, 2:27, one of the best sons of the celebrated George Wilkes, 2:22 A good strain of blood is inherited by the pair in Alcyone, whose dam was the great brood mare Alma Mater, by Mambrino Patchen 5S. The dam of the pair was Lady Kipp, by Volunteer 55, he by Hambetonian. The pair are named Cornelia Kipp and Mabel Kipp. MT. Kipp started the latter in several races last year, when she made creditable showing for a first season and entered the standard list with a trotting record of 2:29A This young horse will not surprise her former owner if she trots in 2:20 this year.
 The other horse disposed of by Train CT Kipp is Miss Kipp, by Favorite Wilkes, he by George Wilkes-dam Lady Kipp, by Gambetta, etc. Miss Kipp drives well with either one of the pair. The three horses were purchas- ed for Carl Kripel, who has shipped them to Vienna Austria.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the Peekskill horseman was probably doubtedly reluctantly parted with the horses, as he had bred and trained them.

HISTORY OF oBER11N COLLEGE,


 About to be Published by Congrega-
 tional Sunday School Society.
 The Congregational Sunday School and Publishing society, Boston, is about to publish a history of Oberlin college, Ohio, by the Rev. D. l.. Leon ard. The originators were John J. Shipherd, a home missionary of two years standing and Philo F. Stewart, who has returned from a foreign mis- sion among the Chocktaws in the far southwest.
 In the southern part of Russia town ship, Ohio, says the biographer, was d large area of unbroken forest, cover ing a surface so fiat and a soil of clay so tenacious as to have been deemed undesirable for cultivation. Thougn long since placed upon the market ana though a portion had been offered as a donation for the uses of school, no buyers had hitherto been found. It was a momentous day when they mounted their horses, and, pushing lnto the dense woods, reached a tiny clear ing at length, knelt in prayer and fxed definitely upon this spot as the center about which the colonists should gatn- CT. The tree under which they made such effectual suppllcation still stands upon the college campus, a living mon ument to their godly zeal, their stal- wart courage and their heroic endeav- or.
 fn CAST to secure possession of the land, to search out and persuade suitable ram flies. to solicit funds for the public buildings required, as we'll as to adver- tise the project so that in due season students might be forthcoming. By the end of October MT. Shipherd had resigned his pastorate, and, with only three dollars in his pocket, was off for New England on horseback, d. recting his journey first to New Haven to bargain with Street & Hughes Tor title to the tract desired. CalQng upon them, his request was for dona- tion of five hundred acres and a sale of nine square miles, he to parcel this out into farms to be sold again at an advance of a dollar per acre. This proposition, coming from a stranger without any financial backing, or the least tangible evidence that he would be able to make good his part of the contract, like sensible men they again and again refused to negotiate upon such an unbusinesslike basis. But SC contagious were his enthusiasm and assurance, and so admirably did he plead his case, that these hard-headed Yankees finally succumbed, promising to grant provisional ownership at the | rate of a dollar and a half per acre l full titles to be bestowed when the land | was paid for.

 Harbor Defense.

Two Rodman Guns Will be Placed for
 Harbor Defense.
 By the end of this week the work of building a dock preparatory to plac- ing in position at the middle of the breakwater the two Rodman guns to be used for harbor defense will have been completed.
 The crib is finished and yesterday over 100 tons of broken rock inter- mingled with cement was unloaded in it. The guns come from New London having been mounted at Fort Griswold. They are eight inch, smooth bore, and their mechanism, it is claimed, Is the safest and surest, with the least dan ger of rupture. Other guns of the same type will be placed Tn position at the mouth of the Connecticut river to protect Hartford and Middletown and at Stonington and Bridgeport The guns on the breakwater will in all probability be manned by members of the Connecticut National Guard. A small shanty will be built for the protection of the men.
