BLACK HAWK PICTURE
Engraving Of Famous Horse on Exhi-
bition at oshua conner's.

On exhibition in the window Of JOSH
ua Conner, on Market street below
Third, is an engraving Of Vermont
Black Hawk. a famous horse many
years ago.
Black Hawk was foaled in 1888, the
property Of Ezekiel Twombly, of Dur
ham, L. II. His sire was Sherman
Morgan son of Jester Morgan. founder
OF the Morgan family of horses and his
dame. a large black mare, whose
breeding was never traced. Black
Hawk. when foaled, was small weak
and homely and looked so inferior that
his owner thought seriously of killing
him. A neighbor said: mo, don't XII
him, he may be worth $40 some day"
so his life was spared, and he was fin
ally given TO his grandson, and at
.Twombly's death was appraised at $50.
He was finally sold for $500 to Benia-
min Thurston, of Haverhill, lass. VINO
said he was the best horse he ever
saw
He could trot in about 2.40 and was
frequently driven fifty miles in half a
day with perfect ease. In 1874 he was
sold for $500 to David Hill. Of Bridge
port, Vermont. when he became the
founder OF family of horses unsur-
passed for beauty. style and superior
road qualities. Many were beautifuliy

NEW YoRK's DEFENSE.

II RINCE LOUIS startled New York
i the other day by frankly remark
ing that the defense of that city are
utterly inadequate, declaring that the
war vessels now in the harbor could
destroy the city in short order.
In reply to this the Every Evening
declares that New Yorks real defense
is in the good win Of other nations,
that while the fleet that Is now in the
harbor is foreign, yet it is not a
menace. since it's officers are being roy
ally entertained by the people OF the
city
This is as pretty as it is true, but
wouldn't it be somewhat dangerous as
well as humiliating to rest our entire
defense on the continued amiable dis
position Of other powers? Two men
who are friends will not fight, but Il
requires only the anger Of one to pre-
lcipitate a set-to. unless. indeed, the
other is a coward.
To assume perpetual amity with no
only one Of the powers but with al
of them. Is 10 imagine "a condition fo
which there IL no warrant in history o
in human nature.
II the logic of our contemporary hold
good. then even partial defense is un
necessary and IN the nature of a Grim
against the people who are obliged {
pay for it. But how independen
would we be In our relations with for
eign powers were we TO abandon al
pretense at defense, sell our warship
for old iron and disband the army
Under SUCH circumstances we shoul
b have an invasion under Castro, and tn
San DOMINICAN navy would blockad
the harbor OF New York.
Upon the major premise that every
I body is good and viii remain goo
there are a lot Of reforms that W
= would advocate.

refund $2s5,OOO by December Is. pro-
vidlng Judge Hamilton does not do it
first. 1t appears probable that Mr.. Nc
can will not be prevented from maxi
ing restitution.
And what a confession il is! Had
there been no investigation OF course
Mr.. Mccall would have retained the
money. It is absurd to suppose that
even now he returns It out OF a sense
Of right. but merely because he feels
that he or his fellow officers have been
caught with the goods"
II the expenditure Of that money was
legitimate and in the interests Of the
policy holders then Mr. Mccall does
himself grave injustice by promising
to make restitution.
The testimony Of James Hazen Hyde
was illuminating. He was a director
OF the company while a sophomore at
college. and on graduation was made a
vice president with a salary Of $4,000.
His talents were so remarkable that
Inc was soon receiving 100000 a year,
And yet when asked whether he
would consent to resume his position
at a salary of $4,000 he replied that
he certainly would, as he didn't know
OF anything else he could do that would
pay him as well.
He Is undoubtedly right. and we sus-
lpect that II he had to earn his salary
a $500 clerkship would about fit his
lcapacity.
