At length a letter came addressed in a manly hand to Uncle Ritson, with Edgar's weli-knowa crest upon the seaj. It was a proposal for my cousin’s hand.

Points of a Horse. “Tcan't explain what a real good horse is,” said one of the best-natured dealers in the street. They are as different as men. In buying a horse, you must look first to his head and eyes for signs of intelligence, temper, cour- age and honesty. Unless a horse has brains, youcan’t teaeh him anything, any more than you can a half-witted child. See that tall bay there, a fine-looking animal, 15 hands high. You can’t teach that horse anything: Why? Well. Til show you a difference in heads; bit have a care of his heels. Look at that brute’s head,— that rounding nose, that tapering forehead, that broad, fuli place below the eyes. You can’t trust him. Kick? Well, I guessso! Put him in a ten acre lot,where he’s got plenty of swing, and he'll Kick the horn off the moon,” The world’s treatment of man and beast has the tendency to enlarge and intensify bad q ites, if they predominate. This good-natured phrenok st could not refrain from slapping In the face the horse whose character had been so cruelly delineated, while he had nothing b it the | gentlest caresses for a tall, docile, sleek-limbed sorrel, that pricked her ears forward and looket intelligent enough to understand all that was being said. “That's an awful god mare,” he added. «she’s as true as the sun. Youcan see breadth and fullness between the ears and eyes. You couldn’t hire that mare to act mean or hurt any- ly. The eye should be full, and haze! is a good color. T like a small, thin ear, and want a horse to throw his ears well forward. Look out for the brute that wants to listen to all the versation that’s going on behind him. The horse that turns back his ears till they almost mnect at the points, take my word for it, is sure to do something Maes See that hel eee elegant face. A horse with a dishing face fs cowardly, and a cowardly brute is usually vicious. Then 1 like a square muzzle with large nostrils, to let iu plenty of air to the lungs. For the under side of the head, a good horse should be well cut un- der the jowl, with jaw-bones broad, and wide apart under the throttle.” “So much for the head,” he continued. «The next thing to consider 1s the build of the ani- mal. Never buy a long-legged, stilty horse. Let him have a short, straight back aad a straight rump, and you've got a gentleman’s horse. The withers should be high and the shoulders well set back and broad; but don’t get them too deep in the chest. The ted should be short. Give me a pretty straight hind-leg with the hock low down, short pastera joints, and around, mulish foot. There are all kinds of horses, but the animal that has these points tured and serviceable.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, it is said, as already pub- lished, claims to be able to prevent the consum- mation of this scheme in two ways—first, through their ‘interest in the Junction ratiroad bridge over thé Schuylkill; and second, by their absolute and sole ownership of about one mile of the Junction road, extending from the Market-street tunnel to 35th street.

Itis used solely by these three corpora- tions, who pay a toll to the general fund for every car they send over it.

For a day or two John Rice, an old acquaintance, has been visiting Dr. nugier, a@ prominent veterin- ary surgeon, living in Euciid avenue. This Morning the doctor arose early to go away on the train, His visitor was already up and sit- Hoe by the fire. Presently Rice drew a self- | cockt ing revolver, and eee if out to the doc- tor, called attention to it. He had just spoken when it went off, the bullet taking effect in the doctor's abdomen. Rice did everything in his power to alleviate the suffering of the injured man, but Angier was not content to have him in the room, and renee that he leave the remises, He did so, but remained in the neigh- hood. Angier insists that the deed was a willful one, and that Rice intended to kill him. After a time Angier made a written ante-mor- tem statement to Judge Cadwell. It is not ex- pected that he will live until morning. This Statement is entirely secret, but it contains the reasons which the doctor believes his guest had for killing him.
