RACE PREJUDICE AND MULES
The Latin Itaces Take Kindly to the
Mnle. bnt Anjrjo-Saxon. Prefer the
Horse.
Chicago Times.
A traveler who has been a diligent
observer of the things he has seen in
the various countries he has visited,
states that mules are generally em
ployed in all places where the inhabit
ants belong to one of the Latin races,
but that horses are used where the peo
ple are of the Anglo-Saxon race. lie
declares that climate has very little to
do with determining whether mules or
horses shall be selected for doing work
on farms or as beasts of burden in towns.
Mules are very common in all the coun
tries bordering on the Mediterranean
sea, not because the climate is more
favorable to these animals than to
horses, but because the Portuguese,
Spaniards, Italians, Turks and Arabs
take kindly to them. They are scarce
in northern Europe, not for the reason
that the climate is more favorable to
horses, but because the people are
prejudiced against mules without cause.
In this country he found many mules
in the southern states, and compara
tively few in the north. He was in
formed that this state of things was due
to difference of climate, mules doing
better in the south and horses in the
north. He noticed, however, that the
race of the person using beasts of bur
den had much to do in determining
whether horses or mules were preferred.
He came to the conclusion that mules
were common in the southern and south
western portions of the country for the
reason that many of the people were of
French and Spanish extraction. Neither
they nor the negroes had any prejudices
against the mule. Yankees and Eng
lishmen who engaged in farming or
transportation in the south generally
discarded mules and substituted horses
in their places. 0
As in peace bo in war. English and
American soldiers dislike to have mules
about a camp and in a train. They in
variably find fault with them and gen
erally abuse them. They praise the
noble horse, but give the mule a bad
name. They declare that the mule is
possessed of all the vices but none of
the virtues common to brutes. They
accuse it of being obstinate and vicious,
and altogether wanting in gratitude,
affection, kindness and intelligence.
They would be heartily ashamed to
beat a horse, but they have no scruples
about pounding and kicking a mule.
Nothing is ever done with a view of
developing the better qualities in the
mule, as is the case with the horse.
Few seem to think that the mule pos
sesses any good qualities. Soldiers in
the Latin countries, however, are par
tial to the mule. Strange as it may ap
pear, they pet mules and they are favor
ites in the camp and march. On ac
count of the treatment it receives it is
docile, affectionate, and well behaved.
Mules do not have a bad reputation
in southern Europe or in the neighbor
ing portions of Asia and Africa. They
do not have as good care and feed as
horses do for the reason that grain and
fodder is scarce, and they can stand
much poorer fare and still endure much
fatigue and do a large amount of hard
work. There is probably considerable
truth in the conclusions of this traveler
that are founded on observation. The
mule is not a favorite among the people
in northern Europe and their descend
ants in this and other countries. Quite
likely they have an aversion to it with
out cause. If this is the case they
should learn to overcome a foolish
prejudice that interferes with the econ
omy of such important industries as
farming and transportation.
Ited-Hot on Both f-iidp.
Cor. Courier-Journal.
Judge Stites was once the editor of
two papers at the same time, both
weekly and of different political faith,
said the talkative "reformed lawyer,"
as the conversation drifted around to
the court of common pleas and the ven
erable and amiable gentleman who is
its presiding office. He was younger
than now and lived in Hopkinsville
where both Whig and Democratic
weeklies were published on different
days. He was a Democrat, like all good
people ought to be, and one day the
Democratic editor, who was called away
for a stay several weeks, came into his
office and asked him to edit his paper
during his absence, which he agreed
to do. The editor of gthe Whig organ,
who was also his friend, by a singular
coincidence, was also required to be
absent about the same time, and he
made a request of Judge Stites that he
turn Whig for a week or two. and edit
his paper. Without letting him know
that he was also to get out the Demo
cratic paper, the judge consented, and
the Whig editor went away.
The judge went to his office, and pro
ceeded to raise cain. In each paper
appeared the most stinging personal
editorials directed at the other, and the
public being kept in ignorance of the
author, were in constant expectation of
a personal difficulty. The judge heated
the politic of Christian county red-hot
in his two weeklies for several weeks,
enjoying the commotion he had caused,
and iu each article growing more bitter
than in the last. Finally, the editors
returned home and then the joke, was
out. War smoothed her wrinkled fro:)t;
the judge went back to his law books ;
the editors "resumed the tripod," and
Hopkinsville journalism found the old
time level. If the judge asks who told
you this story, tell him that you sat
behind him on a railroad car several
years ago when he himself related it to
a gentleman formerly practicing in hi
ourt. -

The standard of commercial integi-ity
is low. Many things pass for sharp

is no better than a sneak-thief, and far
more dangerous. "Business is busi

RAISING SHETLAND PONIES.
aN ENTERPRISE IX WHICH A WISCONSIN
MAX THIXKS HE SEES MONEY.
Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin.
L. C. Merrick, at one time a well
known tobacconist of this city, who has
of late years devoted himself to stock
breeding, has on his farm, opposite
Oinords resort, in Waukesha conntv,
one of the most remarkable herds of
Shetland ponies ever brought into the
United htates. The herd numbers
about fifty, the little animals being all
beautifully built and in vigorous condi
tion. They have been in their present
quarters only about a month. Ihey
were selected and brought over from
the Shetland islands by Max Flowers,
a special representative of Mr. Mer
rick. One of the little ponies, Jumbo by
name, is the smallest of his species ever
imported into the United States, being
less in size than even the tiny pair of
horses which Barnum secured to draw
the carriage of Tom Thumb. Jumbo is
;0 inches in height, and as fine a minia
ture model of a stallion as there is in
existence. Being from the island of
Netland. Jumbo is properly a Netland
pony, not a Shetlaud. Alexander, a
pure Shetland stallion, which is in Mr.
Merrick's collection, is a handsome and
very valuable animal. The prices
which Mr. Merrick secures for the
miniature ponies average from $150
upward. He has refused an offer of
$500 for a mat -lutl pair of the best.
When the ponies were brought from
Scotland, a mouth or so ago, their
shaggy hair was long and tangled, and
to use the expression which was most
frequently used cuiur;iing them, "they
looked pretty rough."
As is not infrequently the case with
immigrants, their residence in this coun
try has done much to improve their ap
pearance. In the Shetland islands it is
the custom to herd the little animals
after much the same fashion as cattle
are herded on our western plains. That
is to say, they are turned loose and left
to shift for themselves. The islands
are almost barren of vegetation, and it
is not wouderful that, according to pop
ular belief, the only nutriment which
the ponies acquire they get from snif
fling the wind that blows from more
bountiful climes. It will readily be be
lieved that when the ponies arrive here,
fresh from such an uncaied-for-exist-ence,
they do not present au appeal ance
remarkable for sleekness. The mem
bers of the Merrick herd, however,
after a month of raiefulsrooniing, have
glossy coats, and lok as if they might
have been brought up iu a lady's lap,
likepet poodles.
In a few weeks Mr. Flowers will re
turn to Shetland, for the purpose of
securing a herd of Shetland cows,
which Mr. Merrick proposes to intro
duce into this country. Shetland cows,
like Shetland ponies, it is said, are con
structed njon miniature models. They
are credited with giving a gallon aud a
half of milk per day and costing noth
ing to keep. The fame of the elfin
herd has spread through all the sum
mer resorts in the neighboahood of the
Merrick farm, and when a Wisconsin
reporter visited the place yesterday he
found a number of curious sight-seers
watching the sportive gambols of the
ponies and making admiring remarks
concerning their beauty and their di
minutive size.
M FANNY FEKN'S" FORTUNE.
Mr; J. C. Derby, the veteran pub
lisher, removed to New York in lbo3,
and set up the publishing business
under the firm name of Derby & Jack
son, and latter of Derby & Miller.
One of hi first publications was Tern
Leaves from Fanny's Portfolio." These
leaves had been first contributed to
Boston papers, and Mr. Derby noticed
that they were widely copied and much
talked about. With true publisher's
instinct, he saw a book in them and
went on to Boston to see Fanny
Fern, and, if possible, to make an ar
rangement with her.
He found her living in great poverty;
for, although she had a husband, she
was obliged to support herself and chil
dren as best she could. When Mr.
Derby told her his mission she w as as
much surprised as delighted. She was
then contributing the "Leaves" to The
Olive Branch and True Fin at'3 a
"leaf." Mr. Derby told her that he
would print them in book form and pay
her . 1,000 down for all right in the
book, or a royalty of 10 per cent. From
the necessities of her case she rather fa
vored the sale outright, but he advised
her to take the royalty, or, at any rate,
consult her friend. She did so, ami
they sustained Mr. Derby's judgment.
The book was published, and her share
for twelve months amounted to $10,000.
Her reputation was then made, aud she
never again had to fight against pov
erty. Strange to say, her brother, N. P.
Willis, did not see that his sister
possessed auy talent for writing, and
she showed "Mr. Derby a letter all
stained with her tears in which he told
her that she was wasting her time fool
ing with her pen. and that she had bet
ter go to making shirts or some other
business for which she was better fit
ted. This only shows how easy it is to
be misjudged by one's family.lt maybe
that Willis was out of sorts with her
for marrying the second time and mak
ing such a mess of it. Her first hus
band was an excellent man, but her
second was a failure, and she was di
vorced from him. Her third was
James Parton, with whom she lived
happily to the day of her death.
The Jlnsnet Ism of London.
The Continent.
Mr. Bichard Jeffries, in his essay on
"Nature Near London," remarks upon
the way in which the magnetism of
London is a force in its remotest sub
urbs, and the influence of the mighty
city is felt in its most rural environ
ments. "Jn the shadiest lane," he says,
"in the still piae-woods, on the hills of
purple heath, after brief contemplation
there arose a restlessness, a feeling that
it was essential to be moving. In no
grassy mead was there a nook where I
could stTetch myself in slumberous ease
and watch the swallows ever wheeling,
wheeling in the sky. That something
wanting in the fields was the absolute
quiet, peace and rest which dwell in the
meadows, and under the trees, and on
the hilltops in the country."
The inevitable end of every foot-path
round about London is London; the
proximity of the immense city induces
a mental, a nerve restlessness; and, as
you sit and dream, you cannot dream
for long, for something plucks at the
mind w ith constant reminder "that the
inland hills, and meads, and valleys, are
like Sin bad's ocean, but that London
is like the magnetic mountain which
draws all ships to it."

HOLLAND ETIQUETTE.
Cnffallant Street Manners of the 31 en
-An Enicaared Couple Woman at
Home.
Springfield Republican.
The Dutchwoman lives in constant
fear of insult ; and when she is out on
the street she acts as if she was afraid
that her ursine brothers were going to
bite, paw or hug her. INot that the men
are dangerous, for rarely it is hear-
that the bears have bitten. Look out
on the street and you will see that the
ladies walk in the road and the gentle
men on the sidewalk. Always
so, no matter how muddy or dusty
the road is, or how many teams
are passing. Watch them, and you
cannot help but notice that the gentle
men and ladies never speak to each
other on the street. That would be
breach of etiquette that society woul il
hardly pardon. Jven when a man
meets his wife he is not permitted
to ask what he shall bring home for
dinner! The gentleman bows first, the
same as in France, and a lady may have
bows from any number of men whose
names she does not even know. And
the bowing is a marvel! The fore
head almost touches the kees in
the act, and there is no half-way
work about it no nodding or a sweeping
touch of the hat, but an entire removal
of the hat to supplement that intense
bow. Everybody bows, then take
off their hats to one another and pro
foundly bow. Your friend's coachman
or lackey does the same toward you as
his master does, and the servants are
just as polite to each other. A ludy
is bowed to by all the friends of her
father, husband or brother ; and your
housemaid's friends as well. Every
man b jws to the house of his lady ac
quaintance when he passes; bows,
smiles, and raises his hat, no matter
whether the ladies are visible or not.
They return the bow with an over
polite bend of the whole body.
If a lady, alone or accompanied by
other ladies, must needs enter a con
fectionery, a library or other place
where men will naturally go, and finds
a gentleman or two there, she wili re
tire as precipitately as if she had seen a
case of small-pox. lhe men knonr this,
but unless my lord, the man, has quite
finished his business he will not retire.
The lady retreats in a mot undignified
manner, and the human bear finishes
his book or his chocolate, even though
the lady is waiting at the door for him
to leave.
As soon as a young lady becomes en
gaged she has to take the young man
around to call on all of her friends.
sweetly introducing him to all as her
promised husband. After that they pay
visits together like a married couple,
with the difference that unlike man and
wife they sit hand-in -hand, and speak
with the utmost pride of their engage
ment. A hug or a kiss are very com
mon in those days of courtship; but
when marriage comes the two are as
stiff to each other in company as
strangers would be, and they address
each other in company as strange
would, and they address each other as
mynheer and mevrouw.
But a change comes over the woman
at home. No longer is she the afraid
body of the street. She has at hand
the kettle of hot water, the flat irons
and the other articles of defense that a
woman can use if necessary, and no
loncrer does she fear the bears. She is
quite "at ho:ne."' She does not put her
self to any trouble for the sake of her
guests. In the morning she never
dresses for breakfast, but comes to the
table en demi-toilet, her hair on the
crimping pins, a calico gown loosely
buttoned over skirts by no means new.

gets dressed, and meantime if she re

ERICSSON'S "DESTROYER."
The Destroyer is a marvel of compact
ness and power. She is 130 feet long,
carries a gigantic gun that is thirty feet
long, and yet has in her hold, all ix-low
the water line, the most powerful
marine engines known. There are nine
separate engines all within that space,
and none of them are near enough to the
surface of the water to be reached by
modem armament.
The Destroyer can travel at a rate of
speed that would exceed that of any
steam yacht. Her regular speed is
seven te n miles an hour through almost
any waters; and when going at the rate
of thirteen miles an hour can be turned
about within twice her own length.
The destructive power of the ex
plosives, that will be put into the torpe
does intended for the Destroyer's use
will equal 400 tons of powder, suffi
cient to blow to atoms the largest and
most heavily armor-plated man of-war
now afloat. The crew on a vessel
struck by one of those torpedoes would
scarcely realize what had touched their
vessel. The gim on the Destroyer will
send such a torpedo 900 feet in two
seconds. The trials already made
have demonstrated that. A fast craft,
going at full speed, could not escape
the torpedo, if the range is accurate.
The purpose of the tests now with the
gun will be to discover exactly how
much the course of the torpedo through
the water is varied by the action of
tides or other influences. Shooting
torpedoes under water is an
uutried science as yet, and pro
ficient gunners in that business
must be educated to its requirements.
All armor-plated ships have their armor
from two to three feet below water-mark
only. Their draught of vr iter varies,
however, and it is to accustom the gun
ners to make accurate ranges for such
variations that we are now practicing.
I lie torpedo does not come into view
before striking the object aimed at, but
goes through the water ten feet below the
surface of the water.
A long net is used for the target. The
dummy torpedo goes through it, and bv
estimating the location of the holes made
we know the exact deflections, horizontal
or lateral, made by the torpedo during
its passage from the gun to the net. We
will shoot at a WO feet range.
Mr. Ericsson has only been on board
the Destroyer once. Like Boebling, he
works entirely from drawings, and knows
precisely how every piece of machinery
on board of her should look.

The narrative below by a prominent sci
entist touches a subject of universal im
portance. Few people are free from the
distressing evils which hypochondria
brings. They come at all times and are
fed by the verv flame which they them
selves start. They are a dread of coming
derangement caused by present disorder
and bring about more suicides than any
other one thing. Their first approach
should be carefully guarded. ;
Editors Herald:
It is seldom I appear in print and I
should not do so now did I not believe my
self in possession of truths, the revelation
of which will prove of inestimable value
to many who may see these lines. Mine
has been a trying experience. For many
years I was conscious of a want of nerve
tone. My mind seemed sluggish and I
felt a certain falling off in my natural
condition of intellectual acuteness, activ
ity and vigor. I presume this is the same
way in which an innumerable number of
other people feel, who like myself are phy
sically below par, but like thousands of
others I paid no attention to these annoy
ing troubles, attributing them to over
work, and resorting to a glass of beer or
a milk punch which would for the time
invigorate and relieve my weariness.
After awhile the stimulants commenced
to disagree with my stomach, my weari
ness increased and I was compelled to re
sort to other means to find relief. If a
physician is suffering he invariably calls
another physician to prescribe for him, as
he cannot see himself as ho sees others;
so I called a physician and he advised me
to try a little chemical food, or a bottle of
hypophoaphates. I took two or three
bottles ol the chemical food with no ap
parent benefit. My lassitude and indis
position seemed to increase, my food dis
tressed me. I suffered from neuralgic
pains in different parts of my body, my
muscles became sore, my bowels were con
stipated, and my prospects for recovery
were not very flattering. I stated my case
to another physician, and he advised me to
take five to ten drops of Magende's solu
tion of morphine, two or three times a
day, for the weakness and distress in my
stomach, and a blue pill every other night
to relieve the constipation. The morphine
produced such a deathly nausea that I
could not take it, and the blue pill failed
to relieve my constipation.
In this condition I passed nearly a year,
wholly unfit for business while the effort
to think was irksome and painful. My
blood became impoverished, and I suffered
from incapacity with an appalling sense of
misery and general apprehension of com
ing evil. I passed sleepless nights and
was troubled with irregular action of the
heart, a constantly feverish condition and
the most excruciating tortures in my
stomach, living for those days on rice
water and gruel, and, indeed, the diges
tive functions seemed to be entirely de
stroyed. It was natural while in this condition I
should become hypochondrical and fearful
suggestions of self-destruction occasion
ally presented themselves. I experienced
an insatiable desire for sleep, but on retir
ing would lie awake for a long time tor
mented with troubled reflections, and
when at last I did fall into an uneasy
slumber of short duration, it was dis
turbed by horrid dreams. In this condi
tion I determined to take a trip to Europe,
but in spite of all the attentions of physi
cians aud change of scene and climate, I
did not improve aud so returned home
with no earthly hope of ever again being
able to leave the house.
Among the numerous friends that called
on me was one who had been afflicted some
what similarly to myself, but who had
been restored to perfect health. Upon his
earnest recommendation l began the same
treatment he had employed, but with little
hope of being benefited. At first I experi
enced little, if any, relief, except that it
did not distress my stomach as other rem
edies or even food had done. I continued
its use, however, and after the third bottle
could see a marked chance for the better,
aud now after the fifteenth bottle I am
happy to state that I am again able to at
tend to my professional duties. I sleep
well, nothing distresses me that I eat, I go
from day to day without a feeling of wea
riness or pain; indeed, I am a well man,
and wholly throueh the influence oi H
II. Warner & Co.'s Tippecanoe. I consider
this remedy as taking the highest possible
rank in the treatment or all diseases
marked by debility, loss of appetite, and
all other symptoms of stomach and diges
tive disorders. It is overwhelmingly su
prior to the tonics, bitters, and dyspepsia
cures of the day, and is certain to be so
acknowledged by the public universally.
Thousands of people to-day are going to
premature craves with these serious dis
eases, that I have above described, and to
all such I would sav: "Do not let your
good judgment be governed by vour pre--udices,
but give the above-named remedy
a fair and patient trial, and I believe you
will not only be rewarded by a perfect re
storation to health, but you will also be
onvinced that the medical profession does
not possess all the knowledge that is em
braced in medical science.."
