1t is natural for the young to pass the
greater part of their days in play. The

about the young dogs are always ready
for frolic. Nature has decreed this
law throughout the world, and children
are not free from it. 1t is an essential
thing to them, and makes them better
and stronger men and women. Hard
work and dignity are attributes of ad-
vanced age. Children should have nei-
ther. The young body and mind should
have no weight to crush the body or op-
press the soul.


The recreation of the children should
be enjoyed principally in the open air.
Their play naturally calls for considera-

display of muscular force without some
waste of muscular substance. The blood
is constantly at work repairing this
waste. and to perform its duty we'll it
should be thoroughly oxygenized. The
pure, open air does this. Let them run
and shout and laugh; climb trees and
jump fences, if their strength is suffi-
cient to prevent them from falling.
These boisterous sports not only develop
health and strength, but they create
self.reliance, and teach them how to use
their arms and legs.


Girls, as we'll as boys, should have
their outdoor pleasures. 1t is to be ex-
pected that girls will be less rough in
their play, but they will obey the In

cause, forsooth, he does not entertain
the same views that some obscure ed

that gentleman. But it should not for mo-
ment be forgotten that as yet there Is
only the word of Anderson to show that Mr.
Matthews had any suspicion of fraud, or knew
of the affidavit said to have been made Novem-
her II. 1876. by Anderson and Weber. Until
Senator Matthews has been heard it would not
be fair to comment upon the correspondence
between him and Anderson further than to
say that it does not exhibit this particular iriend
and spokesman for President Hayes as
shining reformer of the Civil Service. Though
he may have believed that The services OF An
derson to the party were very important, and
strictly i'm accordance with his official duty,
Mr.. Matthews must have discovered from the
letters which he apparently received and
answered that Anderson was not person fit
for any official position of trust or honor


Meanwhile what has all this testimony to do
with the title of President Hayes2 Not a
shred of evidence appears thus far to indicate
that President Hayes had at the time, or has
ever had slnce any knowledge OF fraud
perpetrated. There is not even any
evidence of value bearing upon the
question whether a free election and
fair count would have given the
electoral vote of Louisiana to Hayes or
Tllden, for all that Anderson now asserts on
the subject has been cOntradicted by him
under oath. Of the authenticity of the
letters purporting to have been written by
Anderson to Weber, there is, and in the
nature of things can be, no other
evidence than that of Anderson himself,
Weber having been put out of the way by a
shot fred from a court house occupied by
Democrats. AS long as neither knowledge
nor suspicion of fraud is brought home to
the President, he will not suffer in public esti-
nation. As for his title, that cannot be con-
stitutionally disputed by Congress.

BRIG RTER OUTLOOK FOR THE INDIANS.


The Senate will certainly raise the Army
to $4,000 men, and concur in the transfer
of the Indian Bureau to the War Depart
ment. Both these measures are undoubtedly
wise. The first Will almost certainly be yielded
by the House In Conference Committee, and
the other has already received its approval.

House will undoubtedly take the same
action-both that there will be no doubt about
prompt payment of a debt of honor, and that
this award will not be taken in the future as
basis for calculating the difference between
the privileges mutually granted by the Treaty OF
Washington. Indeed, by an amendment which
Mr. Edmunds offered, the Senate has already
expressed the opinion that these privileges
should be withdrawn as soon as the provisions
of the treaty will permit. The debate showed
a strong feeling on the part of many Senators
against any action which might be interpreted
as showing reluctance to submit to the verdict
of an arbitration, simply because that verdict
was not in our favor.


The assassin's hand has happily failed again
in its wicked purpose. The attempt when

to be deadly, but fortunately none of the
shower of buck and small shot touched

the Emperor's person, but the latest accounts
represent him as bearing up manfully under Ills
wounds. The wOuld-be assassin, like others
of his kind, appears to have staked his
life on the attempt. When the door of his
room was burst open he fired on his pursuers,
and then strove desperately to shoot himself.
This deed, which may or may not be the
outgrowth of socialism, will awaken among
Americans horror something like that which
was felt when Lincoln was struck down and
the life of Seward was placed in jeopardy.
Although those crimes came home to eV-
ery household in the land, where the
victim is known only as the ruler there
can hardly be less execration now, even
of a great and friendly nation, for the wretch
who would murder an old king whose claims
upon the gratitude of his country are not con-
fined to his exertions for the union of Ger
many, or to the bravery which risked his
life on Austrian and French battle
fields in defence of German liberties. The

It is hardly worth while to quarrel,
as some Democratic papers are doing
with the Court which has released
Anderson at New Orleans. He ought
to have been punished, and nothing
but a technicality seems to have saved
him. He intended to commit forger'

result of the vote OF Louisiana. The
Court decides that the forged paper
could not. under the laws Of Louisiana
have the effect Anderson intended.
The State has iRe.days in which to. de.
mand a reheariug, but probably this is

A FRIEND of mine who has been in
rondack Mountains, is of opinion that
the deer is often more than match for
the dog in sagacity. The deer seems
to be well aware that the dog is guided
by his faculty of scent in tracking him; I;
and all the deer's efforts are directed to
battling and thwarting this keen and
wonderful sense with which the dog is
gifted.


With this purpose, the deer will often
make enormous leaps, or run around in
a circle so as to confuse and puzzle his
pursuers. He will mount stone wall,
and run along it for some distance.
well aware that the dog cannot scent
him so well on the rock as on the grass.
If he can find a pond or stream Of
water, the deer will plunge in and
swim long distance, SO that the dogs
may lose his trail.


1t is a joyful sound to the poor, hunt
ed deer when the dogs send up that
sad, dismal howl, which they give ut
terance to when they have lost all scent
of the deer, and despair of finding it.
He is then happy deer. He hides
quietly in some covert among the
bushes, and he will take care to place
himself where the wind will carry all
odors of his body away from the direc-
ton where he supposes the dogs to be.


So you see the deer is by no means
stupid animal. He knows better than
many little boy how to take care of
himself and get out of the way of
danger.

Few things are more provoking or
more disgraceful to driver than a
balky horse, or more amusing to the
spectators. Baking is so manifestly
the fault of the handling that the horse
has had. that the driver is outside of
sYmRsRS s Srss fsT hf horse delights in
using his strength, and it should be the
aim Of the driver to control him without
exciting his opposition.


Some men will get more work out of
horse than others, because, under
their management, he is allowed to put
his whole strength into his work, and
he is not irritated and harassed, and
perhaps exasperated, by jerking and
twitching of the lines, loud shouting,
and frequent swapping of and perhaps
cuts from the whip; instead of this
mode of treatment, he is encouraged
to do his work with cheerfulness, and
freedom of motion is encouraged;
whip, binders and checks are dis
pensed with. No more appropriate
names could be applied to the last
two articles of horse-gear than the
ones they have; one is check to am
bition, and the other is binding to the
eyes.


A whip is a source of needless irrita-
ton to horse; he seldom needs it un-
less he is lazy, and if he is lazy, he
had better be seen to, for laziness and
health seldom 60 together. 1t is quite
possible for horse to be SO free from
restraint that his work will be pleas
ant exercise. A restful state of mind
puts the body in good working condition
in beast as well as in man.


There is kind Of knack in conduct
ing the strength and energy of horse
along the channel which you would
have it flow, and that. too, so smoothly
that there will be no friction; it is usu-
ally the stream which flows quietly
! which goes with the most force.
Care should be taken to not give a
horse load too great for his strength,
for fear that he will be discouraged, or,
being baked by his load, will balk
against his master.


One manner of starting for teamsters
| is first cut with the whip, and the
| whip is sure to be a pretty severe one;
then a syank" on the lines; next comes
a course of shouting. This style of
treatment is kept up all day long on an
animal of flesh and blood, and of nerves
often more sensitive than his driver.


This is the way that the temper OF
many good horse is spoiled; his an
tagonism is aroused, and, instead OF
being docile and submissive, he be-
comes irritable and resentful.
Occasionally we see on our streets
actual fights between teamsters and
their horses; sometimes there is enough
strength wasted to do half days
work. Verify it would seem to be for
the interest of horse-owners to employ
| only such men for teamsters as under
stand their business. - Cor. Detroit Post
