Horses are so cheap In Auckland
that pedestrianism bids fair to become
extinct. The postman does his rounds
on horseback. The butcher, huge
basket slung over his arm, canters up
with ordered provender. Schoolboys,
two frequently sharing mount, ride
to school, where paddock is reserved
for their ponies. Even the lamplighter
performs his duties perched on an
ambling nag, while the droves of live
stock passing along the roads are al
ways under the care Of mounted
escort.
When an outdoor man is sent on an
errand that would entail walking a
quarter of mile, he invariably spends
ten minutes in catching horse that he
may ride. But more ludicrOus than all
else was it to see sweep, his atteu-
ton to the kitchen chimney completed,
canter off on his nag, with the bag
of SCOT perched on the saddle before
him.
AS an instance Of the topsy turvy
state Of things antipodean it may be
mentioned that it is considered smart
er to drive in hired carriage than in
your own trap lackwood's.

We say 40 a Delawarean born
that the seven men who held out in
the last Legislature against the
choice of the majority are worse
than Benedict Arnold. There was
no excuse for pursuing such a sui
cidal policy. The seven men, with
two exceptions, were nonenities in
the whole session. They presented
no bills. and about all they did was
to vote occasion ally. They deserve
all the praise they can get and they
should be proud of their record.
The people have marked them aud
will get even with then. The Dem.
oc rats cheered and congratulated
them. These men fought the Re-
publican candidates at the polls
and did ali they could to defeat
them. They are traitors and will
be so remembered.

Originally the common or domestic
goat was native of the highlands Of
Asia. Naturalists generally regard it
as having descended from an animal
found in the Caucasus mountains and
the hill country Of Persia, called in
the Persian language the pesang.
Among the Greeks and the Romans
the goat was sacrificed to Bacchus be-
cause of its tendency to injure grape
vines by eating the Young tendrils and
leaves. All the species Of goats are
natives of the old world. The Rocky
