Color OF ARAB HoRsEs.-A writer in Black

the color of Arab horses, says:


Gray of various shades, bay, chestnut and
brown, are the ordinary, and it may almost be
said the only colors Of an Arab horse TsSTs.
commonest of all colors is one which recollect
as being very frequent among the Arabs met
with in India, dark uniform nutmeg prav.-
Light gray vergng upon white, is neither rare
nor peculiar in old horses. Next to gray in fire..
quency comes bay and chestnut, both fine and
rich in quality, and the latter so priced above al
colors by the Arabs, that they have saving
that, If you ever hear of horse performing an,
remarkable feat, you will be sure to find upor
inquiry that he is chestnut. Brown is not un.

from Anazeh, find one black But so rare i,

tracing was then made of all the engraved parts
of the picture, which, being on such an enlarged
scale, could be drawn SO perfect that the reduced
picture would have precisely the appearance of the
original. A small negative was then made, by
which copies could be multiplied to any extent,
and the protecting colors applied in the same man

A most mysterious murder has lately oc-
cupied public attention in England. A fac


tory inspector, living near Frome, in Som
ersetshire, one morning missed his youngest
child, a boy of about four years of age, from
the cot in the nurse's-room, where he usually
slept, and, after tedious search, found his
body thrust down the vault of an clubhouse,
with the throat cut from ear to ear, and q
large stab in the region of the heart, evidently
inflicted after death. The mystery envelop-
ing the whole affair battles even the famous
detectives of London. This may be better
appreciated when it is known that in one of
the bedrooms slept the nursemaid, and in the
same room the deceased in little cot and in
another part of the room another child in a
second cot. At i've o'clock the next morn
ing the nurse awoke, and missed the de-

still remained ON the bed and pillow, but the

now rapidly rising on the horizon, and he him
self urged the travellers to proceed before the
heat should grow dangerous. He stood be-
