Success in Horse Breeding.
The following remarks nro extracted
from a paper by Hark Cotmtock, which
appeared in Wallace' a Monthly:
Many brooders have plans to start
with, but either forget them nt tho
critical moment, or change them so
often that their selections point to no
clearlv defined method. This is nearly
always tho experience of the novice.
Ho is educated oi.ly by experience and
gains his knowledge only by the mis
takes he finds ho has made at the start.
Hence wo find many places with u few
choice animals, and a largo number of
ordintirv ones that It would be desir
able to dispose of could a purchaser bo
found, but which are generally held be
cause the owners disliko to face tho
necessary sacrifice. Tho first loss is
generally tho best in such cases, and
that fact is coming to bo generally
understood with the present depress!
on in tho helling valve of even cholco
animals, where the lack of means dic-
tnlnu knlnntlmia. It wntllri lint llODenr SO
ftmnga that animals wanting in somo
of tho essential qualities for breeding
should be chanced in tho hope that the
deficiency may bo counterbalanced by
other superior features, and overcomo
in a proper cross; but with nrnplo means
at command, many young breeders
make their puichascs at random, and
completely squandering their advantage-'.
Sooner or later most of them
Letter their condition by either selling
out entiiely, or weeding out their stock
and repurchasing. Tho writer has
noticed in an extended observation of
Home years past, that fiequeutly tho
poorest bi'gliuicis have afterwards
become breeder of excellent judge
ment. IX-peiicnce is an expensive but
-very eilectunl teacher, piovided the
recipient of the lesion is capable of
learning. Hut there is now and then a
clear business mind that takes up this
biibjectof hioeding and makes u study
or It before ventuiiiig to put us ueuue
tions Into practice. .Such men deter
mine what they want before they buy
sit all, and then keep their aims clearly
in mind while selecting. They go
htraiglit by their chart from tho llr-t,
and usually accomplish something to
show for it. They do not all follow the
same path, nor do they all aim to ac
complish precisely tho .same object; but
having thought far enough tocreato nn
idea which they hope to Imitate, it
generally pow-jsus Milliciont merit to
be of value when approximated, and
hence they succeed as breeders.
It Is fiequeutly as-erted that thcro is
no definable way of breeding that will
bring success, and tho whole system is
one of chnnce, great results coining
whoa least expected, and disappoint
ment following tho most logically con
ceived plans. There is u greater meas
ure of truth in this claim than oven
tho most ardent onthusiast on tho sub-
t
ect can sot aside, if tho object sought
X) nrofit in tho investment, and no other
aim in tlio breeding prnniem tunn cue
baro question of trotting speed and
bottom, Tho most successful breeders
in this country produce too many
blanks to their number of prizes to
keep tho balauco shoot right, unless
tho blanks possess u value indepen
dently of tho qeestion of speed; aud
with the blanks In tho ratio in which
thoy nppcar on many stud farms, it is a
iuostion whether their disposal is not
u matter of far greater moment in a
ilnanclal senso than that of tho prizes.
It Is tho common oxporlonco of breed
ing on any considerable scale, that
after a fow years trial It is found desir
ablo to roduco tho marcs in numbers to
tho fow for which a direct nick has
boon found, and dlsposo of tho othors,
no matter with what caro and Judgo
jnont they wore originally selected
This has boon tho oxporienco nt Thorn
dale, Stony Ford, and othor noted es
tablishments, must eontinuo to be so.
Therefore ovory point which tends to
produce a loai salable tor othor pur
poses than speed, that can bo compassed
without sacrificing tho chances of that
moht valuable element, should receive
duo business consideration In selecting
breeding animals, in order that the
produce may yet bring tho brooder out
without loss.
SiciNATUitr. ok Tin: Cnoss. Tho
mark which perMinsaro unablo to write
nro required to make, instead of their
signature, is in tho form of a cross; and
this practice, having formerly been fol
lowed by kings and nobles, Is constant
ly roforred to as an instance of tho de
plorable Ignorance of ancient times,
u'ho signature Is not, howover, invari
ably n proof of such iguoranco. An
ciently tho use of the mark was not
confined to illiterate persons; forumong
tho Saxons tho mark of tho cross, as an
attestation of the good faith of tho por
tions singing, was required to bo attach
ed to tho signature of those who could
write, as well as to stand in tho place
of tho signature of thoso who could not
write, in thoso times, If a man could
write, or oven read, his knowledge
was considered proof presumptive
that he was in holy orders. Tho
cloricus, or clerk, was synony
mous with penman ; and the
laity, or people who wore not clorks
did not feel tho urgent necessity for
tho uso of letters. The ancient use of tho
cross was therefore universal, alike by
Ihoso who could and those who could
not wrlto; It was indeed, tho symbol of
an oatli, iroiii its sacred associations,
as well as tho mark generally adopted.
Honco tho orluiu of tho expression.

Tin: Mojhhx A Scnoea, Missouri,
dispatch to the St. Louts Globe, of sop
Jouibor 28th, says: "Tho Modoc Indi
ans, whoo reservation almost adjoins
this place, are In a deplorahlo condi
tion. Three years ago they were ro
niovod from tho lava bods of Osegon to
Jlils place. They then numbered 1M.
Xf this number, since that tlmo, ilfty-
elght have died, and tho mortality for
the past month has been greater per
haps than ever before. They are poor
and unable to securo tho service of a
physician, and there is no provision
made bv tho go eminent for that pur
pose. The hooping cough is in their
camp, and of this alone eight have died
while many are still suffering with it.
Thoy have no knowledge of the disease
or its treatment. We have no physi
cian who can, single-handed, take
charge of them without any prospect
of remuneration. This, then, is their
condition. They are in a country
which has a f.ir different climate and
different disease to which they have
bcenacctistomed, ignorant of what they
should do for them-olves, and with no
money to secure ns-dstanee. These are
facts, andean bo substantiated by the
best citizens of Seneca and adjoining
country.
Tin: Counting. The question of
counting tho votes ot tho I'resinentiai
electio.i -corns, from tho examination
that has been given to it, to have been
settled to this extent, that it is to be
governed by the naked provision of
the Constitution contained in tho 12th
Amendment that is to say that tho
acceptance or rejection of the vote of
any State is to be determined alono by
the President of the Senate, who at
present is Mr. Ferry of Michigan. The
fact to Mhicii u coriespondent of tho
Jliilletin, who was present in the Joint
Convention in which Huchanan was
declared elected, called attention on
Tuesday, does not in tho least militate
against this view. Mr Mason, who 1111
ed tho same position as Mr. Feiry does
now, on that occasion lefused to allow
tho vote of Wisconsin to bo counted,
because in consequence of a snowstorm
and tho interruption of travel, the
Electors did not meet at the date pre
scribed by law. Senator Morton had
previously been lenrc-ented in an in
terview witii tho reporter of n. contain-
nor.irv to iiuvo stated that the voto of
Wisconsin had been accepted by the
decision ot tho President of the Senate.
IJut In this case exception or rejection
have tho same bearing, for they estab
lish tho control of the President of the
Senate over the question. So well was
the practico settled at that day it was
fully understood by tho Electors of
Calilornla, who were on their way to
Sacramento in December, 1Sj(J, to cast
tho voto of tho State for Buchanan and
Breckinridge- The boat in which they
all were, happened to stick on tho Hog's
Hack, and was not got oft' until 12
o'clock noxt day. The Electors can
vassed the situation, and so certain
were they that tho voto of California
would bo thrown out by tho President
of the Senate, If it was not cast at tho
capital at the day and hour fixed by
law, that preparations wore mado to
go ashore and try and reach Sacramen
to on hor-jcback. But beforo they car
ried their piojeet into execution the
boat got off, and thoy reached tho capi
tal in time to discharge the functions
prescribed by law. .Vac. Jteccrd.
How Graphs a hi: Piiesskd. Tho
most primitive way of pressing grapes
for wino, it is hardly necessary to say,
says it Galaxy writer, Is by treading a
process which I saw both In Franco and
Palestine. In tho lattor on Mount
Zlon in Jerusalem tho grapes were
put into a wooden box about four feet
square and throo feot doop; tho bare
legged Arabs, bracing themselves with
their hands on each othor's shoulders,
trampled the fruit by tho hour, as tho
Juico issued from n holo in tho bottom
of the box into a tub. A traveler stand
ing by thought tho process indolicato,
but ho was informed that fermentation
like tiro, is a purifier.
Tho primitivo pressing which I saw
in Franco was dono not far from Dijon,
and not a great distance from a region
whoro tho most improved methods of
Dressing aro employed. It was nearly
equal in simplicity to that practiced in
Judea. In Jerusalem thu Arabs tram
pled w ith their naked feet nnd In tho
out-of-tho-way placo roforred to in
Franco tho tramping was dono under
the sabot. Tho must (the crushed mass
of gi apes) was thrown into a vat, when
eight or ton men jumped in and tramp
ed about in it, using their hands as
well as tholr feot to press out clumps
which cling to-gether. This was dono
also with a viow to warm tho must by
tho natural heat of tholr bodies, and
thus haston fermentation. Their faces
were stained with tho julco, and they
wero gory to tho fchouldors.
Tho designs of Itussia on tho East
appear to have assumed nn norhl form.
Some light was thrown upon them tho
othor day by Professor Wells, "the
great American noronant" In nn inter
esting leeturo ho delivered at Lahore
on the progress of baloon improvements
of lato years. "Thoso Improvements,
"tho professor observed, "aro of such na
ture that baloons may now be omnloy-
ed for the transport of largo bodies of
troops, with armament, etc; and from
personal examination which ho (tho
Professor) made in 1871 of tho wnr lia
loons under construction by the 11 m
.sians at St. Petersburg, ho is impress
ed with tho belief that tho time is not
far distant when Itussia will bo able to
(and will more than probably do so)
descend on British India over tho
mountains In baloons, with 100,000 war
riors; and he thinks tho British Gov
ernment should make preparations to
meet such a contingency." It is ilfll
cult to know what can bo dono under
these circumstances. If tho Professor's
anticipations prove correct, wo may
hoar any day of a descent by tho Rus
sians not only upon India but also upon
England by means of these war baloous,
All that can bo dono is to keep a good
look out, aud to tire at tho baloons di
rectly they conio within rifle-shot; but
then, again, a shower of 100,000 Rus
sian s would ho a serious affair. One
such victory might bo almost as disas
trous as defeat. Iron-clad umbrellas
would, perhaps, best meet the emergency,
A painful discussion took place tit a
meeting held in Greenock for tho pur
pose of forming u branch Temperance
Association in accordance with the
General Assembly's deliverance. One
of the speakers, tho Rev. Mr. Fullar
ton, whllo moving a resolution, said
he was glad that the Church had taken
up the question of Temperance; blithe
added "he had been pained beyond
measure to see a drinking saloon in the
General Assembly of tho Church of
Scotland. These violent defenders of
harmoniums could go down afterwards
and refresh themselves with Dutch
courage. The first thing they should
do was to abolish that saloon. Beforo
tho General Assembly rebuked the
j parties who attempted to set up a pub
j lhkn's congregation in Portobello, they
snouui nave none away wun mo publi
can's liar in tho General Assembly."
This frightful statement naturally pro
duced a profound sensation, and tho
Rev. Mr. M'Colloch rose to explain,
thinking thatii correct version of the
affair should be given to tho public.
"There was" he said, "not the slight
est doubt but that a diinking saloon
had existed in tho General Assembly,
but the Assembly had washed its hands
of the matter, inasmuch as last year
thero was no such thing."
A Tkkriijli: Gun'. A disp'itch from
Spciza says that the trials of tho 100
ton Armstrong gun made for tho
Italian Government wero eminently
successful. A bolt fired with Oil
pounds of powder attained a velocity of
loUu loot per second and smashed solid
wi ought-iron plates 22 inches thick,
completely pierced tho strong backing
of the0-inch skin of target, the resis
tance of which was supposed to equal
the sides of tho great Italian iron-clad
Duile, and had enough velocity ro
niainintr to have smashed tho other side
of the ship, and would have carried
complete ruiu into her interior. An
equal charge completely demolished
tho soft steel plates of Schneider manu
facture, but did not penetrate the back
ing, though it is stated, tho shock
would have shaken tho structure of a
ve-i-cl like the Duiles as to cause a leak.
VAiii'i: or Hooks. So precious were
books in the Dark Ages that donations
of them me lecorded as acts of signal
generosity, deserving perpetual ro
inemberanco. In 090 the King of North
umborland gave S00 acres of land for
one book containing tho history of tho
world. A countess ofAnjougavo 200
sheop and ti hugo parcel of rich furs for
a volume of homilies; 120 crowns were
given for a single book of Livy; 100
crowns of gold tor a Concordance; and
10 crowns for a satirical poem called tho
"Romance of tho Rose." In 1120, a
Latin Bible was valued at 30 at n time
when two arches of Loudon Bridge
wero built for less money; at a time,
too, when tho wages of it laborer wero
threo-halfponce a day, and when, of
course, it would have cobt such a man
fifteen years. of labor to buy a Bible,
which, nffofVftll, .b'JInff in Latin, ho
could have not read.
Euglne City, Nov. 11. Daniel
