TRUE EULOGY OF THE HORSE.
Most Gallant of Animals and worthy
of All Praise.

Editor The Washington Herald:
In Saturdays issue there appeared q

Mans Debt 20 the Horse" No doubt

the horse from the animal Of the ploW

Surely the writer has seen q powerful

Bells OF the BastiIe.

From the Gertlewman.
Comparatively few persons have ever
heard Of the bells Of the Bastile. yet
they are still in existence After the
destruction Of the prison. they found
their way to the great foundry in Romil-
ly, but the manager Of the works dis
obeyed the orders he received and did
not destroy them.
Now they are back in Paris. IN a pri-
vate house in the Avenue dEylan. on
each bell Is engraved: Made by Louis
Cheron for the Royal Bastile, in the year
li6l, and they are further ornamented
with the royal arms and a huge cross.
