Character and Improve- ment. tESTING PAPER BY GEN. W. H. JACKSON, OF TENNESSEE, AND REMARKS BY COMMISSIONER LORING ‘Their Mistery, { At th nt sessions of the National Conven- tion ot Agriculturists in this city a highly inter- ‘sting paper was read by Gen. Wm. H.Jackson, the Stockbreeders Association of Tennessee, on “Blooied Hors as was stated in Tok STaR at the time. Gen. Jackson said that a thorough- | bred was a horse tracing his pedigree to the | Arabian horse imported into England about the middle of the 16th century. He has no superior . | in beauty and brightness, strength and agility, | has thin skin, lungs giving good wind, and fine | bone, insuring strength and action. The devel- | opment of improved breeds of horses has been supported and encouraged by every government nent | but our own. The high mission of the thorough- | Slain by no Brutus, but a flendish fool. bred is to elevate the character of the entire equine race. The weakness of fast horses is not always due to external form, but to inter- nai orgauization. There is _ NO SPEED WITHOUT BLOOD, | and “the horse of all work” is a misnomer, and | does not exist. No single animal or breed can be adapted to all uses, but the blooded horses Show most variety. The weight of the average race | horse is 950 pounds. He read from a work pub- | lished on Arabian horses early in the century, j showing the prices of the best horsesto have then | been 3.000 pounds sterling. The same work wed the care observed by the Arabs in-pre- serving the purity of their stock and keeping the record of pedigree. The race course is a neces- Sity to develop the powers of the thorougubred. The prejudices against the moral tendenoies of j the race course are, sometimes, well founded, but are not always just. THE ENGLISH BLOODED HORSE ix descended from the horse Derby, imported in 1703. Previously some Barbs and Turks had been brought to England, but did not give good | descendants. Godolphin came twenty-five years | later, and his greater popularity was due to the Preparation by improvement made by Derby. | He is said to have been foaled in 1724, and lived till 1 He was bought for 18 louis (#75.) He was conceded to be a Barb, and was sup- posed to possess more of the Arabian qualities , than the other. AMONG THE FIRST IMPORTATIONS INTO THIS COUNTRY was Balle Rock to Virginia, in 1730, and Hab- ster in 1741. The requirements of stallions are purity of pedigree, good form, performance, easy action, good constitution, temper and courage. Good mares must be good nurses, and in foal must be well fed and cared for, being | protected from the damp cold. Young colts { should be carefully handled inearly ave—taught tocome and take salt from the hand. Every- | thing must be done gently. There was close | connection between the treatment of young do- mestic animals and young children’ He de- seribed carefully the operations of foaling and weaning and the treatment of animals until maturity. Perseverance and judgment are a necessity in breeding. England has long been | oo ed the nursery of thoroughbred horses, Qu oriliard has taken from them the palm and raised American horses in European estimation. His state (Tennessee) was well adapted to the production of thoroughbred horses. | PR. LORING ON THE IMPORTANCE ANIMAL. Dr. Loring, the chairman, said the coming census will show an array of statistics relating to the importance ofthe animal. The thorough-| bred horse is as distinct a breed as the Per- cheron or Clydesdale. It is a mistake to speak of short horn cattle as thoroughbred, for it is superfluous. The thoroughbred horse is the OF THE | e horses with wide varieties of good qualities, like his independent master. The thoroughbreds are too impetuous, but THE QUIET COMPOSURE OF THE AMERICAN HORSE constitutes his value. The difference is, one is taught to obey: the other to defy. Tle strength of the American horse is surprising. The Cly- | desdale and Percheron have a specia! mission. h, but well balances power; and small animals, like small men, are often the strongest. He described the origin of the Morgan horse, starting in New | England, whien was stronz, and could out-pull | all others because of his well balanced power and horse strength. It was a good example of | a good American horse—for the minister, to clear the road with, to zo to the mill with, for the doctor. for the fa: and for alinost any- thing. We are a driving community, and the American horse has the necessary ‘inherent qualities. There is no trouble in breaking, THE NORTHERN HORSE, having the quiet good sense, so we have the good mill horse, plough horse and driver. The American trotter is quiet and honest, sometimes more honest than his driver. The American track horse at his best is «© good family horse, and his long stride make2 |.im a good plough , horse. The admixture of blood making the | American horse would appear troublesome, but | ‘oughbred blood gives the speed, | Under the Dome.

Bud and babe will sink into the same dust. Even memory’s glass will grow dim with the breath of time and care upon itg face that now shows the mother what was once her child. “‘Oh! Death, thon hast all seasons for thine own, The groan, the kuell, the pail, the bier, And all we know or dream or fear Of egony are thine.” We can tell, we do know whieh is the greater blessing. life or death. The fetid air that already | steals from the graye to kill the rose’s odor is death. This babe's sweet breath was life. The full heart glad with glow of love while the child was here is life. The empty heart, cut wide, wide, and void when the child is gone, is death. I must say that death is not a good. or, els each breath of life I draw confutes me while speak. I bee pardon of the mother that I trifle | with her grief. We cannot live and love where death is king. As well might | say we will live and love where hate is king. One of the words denies the other. I beg pardon of this dear babe that I spoke before I thought. Truly every cradle asks us ‘ Whence?” and nature answers “From God;” for the babe is an effect and inust have a cause, and the last | word of cause is God. Truly also, every life | asks “Why?” and the little children that play round the door whence death has taken this babe can tell us it is “To know love and serve God in this life.” True, too, every coffin asks “Whither?” and the blessed bubes that have flown from earth to heaven whisper ‘To be | happy with God.” It needs no robed priest to answer thus. This isthe tradition of mankind, and is lisped at the mother’s: knee. He, who has forgotten it, has lost hold on the clues of his race. They who stand with breaking hearts around this little grave must fear it my feeble guesses | j are all the trust they have. If there be room | ‘for hope, there is room for despair. If the mother shall never see her babe again, all for her Is pain ended by—nothing. We cannot hope for the dead, because despair sits beside hope. We need not help the living, for if we have no common father we are not brothers. Our re- | ; lizion may take for its motto ‘1 know how vain it is to gild a grief with words.” THE | while the th &c., the French blood gives steadiness. THE SOUTHERN HORSES | are mostly descended from French blood (Pilot) | —the Pilots from a Canadian horse, the Clays | froma Canadian und the Patchens from the Clays—and all nave the peculiarities and | strength of the French. Give the later (Patch. ens) the qualities of the American thgrough- bred, and_we have the best horses in the world. Anybody would say that the celebrated Wilkes | horse was a French horse. England recognizes | the long stride of the American horse, and would like to have it in their road horse. Dr. | Loring endorsed Gen. Jackson's remarks as to CAME IN BREEDING, | and said that western horses are often brought | east and put into drays and cars before they are | fully developed, and they are soon broken | down. He had seen the finest horses in the fairs | of northern filinois last fall. A cross of the Percheron and Norman with the Northern Amer- ican horse makes the best carriage horse. GEN. JACESON ON THE CHARACTER OF THOKOUGUBIED. Gen. Jackson desired to correct an erroneous | impression as to the vivient temper of the thoroughbred. It Is not so bad—they are high- spirited but not vicious—and perhaps are too | impetuous for driving. Much depends on the training of animals. The headiness and apparent | viciousness on the course is often dae to bad | treatm | the qu | disposition is due to training. THE BAD RESULTS OF CROSSING are mainly due to crossing the wrong way. driving he was satisfied with an easy gait of 2:40, and his driver was always gentle, spirited and prompt. Good motion is direet forward, | without side motion aud no jerk to the buggy. A three-quarter eross of American horse makes the best roadster, and the thoroughbred is the best for greatest ‘variety of uses. Sanders, of Chieao. says the value ot trotters has been re- ferred to Messenger Mood. and in writing and | compiling he has recognized the vulue of the Canadian viood mingled with the thorouzhbred. George Wilkes was a success in Kentucky, but was considered a failure else- where. ‘There was too much in and in breed- ing. Out breeding is judicious. ————_+er ‘The River Side To the Edtiter of ‘me Evestxe Stan: The suzgestion of P.L. 8. in last Satarda: Srar anent a river side park and the preserva- tion of Observatory hill is, { think, a very good | one amd onght to be acted upon.

L. SHOZMAKER. oe “IS DEATH DREADFUL)” A Faneral Address Robert G. Ingeor- #0) From tho Christian Advocate. It is said of a great tragedian, that when one of his supporters became suddenly ill it was Proposed to substitute for him a well-known comedian. ‘“No,” said the master; “1 will not have him. He ts so saturated with comedy that the sight of his face on the stage would turn the tragedy into a farce.” With the echo of the iaughter at God, the Bible, and religion, which his wit and ribaldry have evoked from ir- reverent crowds, still reverberating in almost every city in the land, the jester, laying aside for the nonce his cap and bells, appears in the role of a comforter of the bereaved. It was at the funeral of a bright little boy in Washington, D.C., and at the request of his father. “The scene,” says the Washington Post, ‘‘was In- tensely dramatic." Col. Ingersoll was unpro- tected by either hat or umbrella, and his inyvoca- tion thrilled his hearers with awe.” Whom did heinvoke? Is this a new use of the work to signify an address to the people? Surely, it cannot be said of him, ‘‘Behold, he prayeth.”” The address on this occasion has been pub- lished and we see no reason why we should not reproduce it here. It is remarkable for what it says, and for what it does not say, and for the high order of its language. We do not hesitate to say that in simplicity, beauty, and purity of style, it would be difficult for acknowledged masters of English to excel it. My Friends: 1 know how vain it 1s to gild a grief with words, and yet I wish to take from every grave its fear. Here in this world, where life and death are equal kings, all should be brave enough to meet what all the dead have met. The future has been filled with fear, stained and pol- luted uy the heartless past. From the wondrons tree of life the buds and blossoms fall with ripened fruit, and in the common bed of earth the patriarchs and babes sleep eine by side. hy should we fear that which will come to all that {s?_ We cannot tell, we do not know, which Say that death Is not & good. We do not know whether the grave is the end of this life or the door of another, or whether the night here is not somewhere else a dawn. Neither can we tell which isthe more fortiinate—the child dying in its mother’s arms before its lips have learned to form a word, or he who journeys all the length of life’s uneven road, painfully taking the last slow steps with staff and crutch. Every cradle asks us “Whence?” and every cofin “Whither?” The poor barbarian, weeping above | his dead, can answer these questions as intelll- most authentic creed. The tearful ignorance of the one is just as consoling as the fearned and unmeaning words of the other. No man, standing where the horizon of a life has touched a rave, has any right to prophesy a future filled with pain of worth to lfe, It those we press and strain against our hearts could never die, perna Ss that love would wither from the earth.’ May be this common fate treads from out the paths between our hearts the weeds of selfishness and hate, and I had rather live and love where death is king than have eternal life where love Is not. Another life ts naught, unless we know and love again the ones who love us here. ‘They whostand with breaking hearts around this Uttle grave need have no fear, ‘The larger and the nobler faith in all that is. and fs to be, tells us that death, even at its worst, is only perfect rest.

Job called death the “ king of terrors; 8 totle, “the terrible of terribles.” Tt has bee the one black, impenetrable shadow over every home and over every human being. ‘All should be braye enough to meet what all the dead have wet.” They have, indeed, met it; but how? “AH that a man hath will he give for his life” has been true of men in gen- eral. Though every passion has overcome the fear of death so iong as the fact was contingent, when the “dread summons” came the heart trembled. “Why should we fear that which will come to alithatis?” It has never been found that tne certainty that there is no escape for others diminishes fear. “It may b@that death gives all there is of worth to fife.” Perhaps, but not for the strange reason that “if those we press and strain against our hearts could never die, perhaps that love would wither from the earth. “Another life is naught unless we know and love again the ones who love us here.” Most true; and yet a moment before the same lips had said, “We do not kuow whether the grave is the end of this life, or the door of another.” The final words of consolation are that “the larger and the nobler faith in all that is. and is to be, tells us, that death, even at its worst, is only perfect rest; ‘grief will lessen day by day;” he dead do not suffer. If they live again. their lives will surely be as good as ours.” Whence came to him the right to say surely of anything? It is “words, words, words.” His religion is “Help for the living—Hope for the dead.” Yet his great powers of popular speesh have been employed in robbing the liv- virtue, and the only foundation of a hope forthe dead." In all these beautiful words nothing is said, becanse he who uttered them had nothing to say. It was, indeed, gilding a grief with words. In their simplest form the consolations he offered were: Why should we fear what all have to endure? We know nothing about the future. Your grief will grow less day by day. These are the words ofa man “without God, and without hope in the world.” ‘Truly a “mis- erable comforter, a physician of no value.” There was one who said: “Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staf they comfurt me.” There stood One among men who said: “Suffer little chil- dren, and forbid them not. to come unto Me; forof such is the kingdom of heaven.” And again; “In My father's house ghere are many mansions.” Every grave has its tear, every death its sting, but there is One through whoin Death is swal- lowed up in victory. ‘The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin isthe law. But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoyable, always abounding In the work of the Lord, for- asmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.” Tf you are ever tempted to grow wearied and faint in your minds, look first “unto Jesus, the author and finisher of your faith,” and then cast a pitying glance at poor Ingersoll vainly trying to gild a stief with words. —-—+e-- DeutcH Sxates.—Two kinds of skates are used, each of distinctive character, but both In- tended for ranning—straight-ahead travelling— no nonsense of fancy figaring.

It is claimed that their prophet gave intimation of such a one, and it secms that for the past twenty-five years the report of his near coming has been ifdus- triously circulated through the Moorish-Mussel- man world. — Considerable criticism has been made of the Rey. Mr. Harrison, the revivalist who has been somewhat dramatically and enthusiastically working in the west. But the cool and classical Bishop Wiley, of the Methodist church, indorses Mr. Harrison, who is sincese, though not a scholar. —The Baptist Weekly says: “Any one who has read in the daily papers the letters and inter- views reported concerning a controversy be- tween two ministers in Brooklyn must feel Paul gave wise counsel when he said:’ But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.’ ” —The meeting of the Metropolitan M.E. church, last night, was very encouraging, so much so that the revival meetings were an- nounced to be continued during the next week.

Fourteen united with the church last night, and the altar was filled with penitents. —A Connecticut Jury set aside awill which had been made by a spiritualist.

She de- scribed whilé entranced persons who had long been dead, and thoroughly convinced those around her that her clairvoyance was gennine. Father Fleming found her gazing reverently at. the paper figures mentioned, and she assured him that they had been miraculously delivered to her. She regarded them not as cupids, but angels. The priest took them away from her, tore one up and carried the rest of them away, charging her to disabuse her mind of such folly. ‘This shock threw the girl into convulsions, and she has since had consciousness only at inter- vals, when she begs piteously for the it . But the priest destroyed them, acting under the order of-the archbishop. The suit is for damages, and eminent counsel are engaged on each side. —_——+es—_ How to Become a Leading Citizen of ‘Texas.

In one of the armi there was a big feller—a whoppin’ great big feller—and every day he went down into the medder lot and looked up the hill to t’ other camp and just dared ‘em. He told “em to pick | (iin. tame” their best man and send him down and he'd | De Villiers Anaie fight him.

But the fellers in t’other camp jest clean flunked. They daren't fight the big feller, nary one on‘’em. They jest all sneaked away, and the big feller went back to | camp. But he didn’t quit thar, the big feller | 1 didn’t. He was spilin’ fora fight, and he was bound to have it. He jest went down into the bottom land, into the medder lot, every day, mornin’ and evenin’, and dared "em and dared ‘em. I tell you he pestered ‘em mightily. The old feller, Saul, the Gineral, he felt morechawed up and meaner than the sozers, and. when he couldn't stan’ it no longer, he told the boys that Siutth 1 Starrow jarrinon Nancy hnsoy Emus ifany on ‘em would go down and tick the big | k feller he'd give his gal and a right smart chance | Keuuy S Mis« Wasirington Mary of plunder.

He asked them a heap of questions about it all, and his big brother he got mad at him, and twitted him about keeping sheep,and gave hima right smart of sass. He was plucky, but, you see, he had to stan’ it, ‘cause ‘twas his big brother. Big brothers are mighty mean semetimes. But the little feller talked a heap with the other sogers, and they told the old Gineral about him, and he told them to tell the littie feller to come@nd see him. The little feller was might plucky. and he jest up and told the old Gineral Saul that he'd fight the big feller! The Gineral looked at the handsome little feller—he was real handsome—and ses he, kinder softly, “I reckon,” and shakin’ his head, “it’s too big a job; you're only a chunk of a boy. and he’s an Dupler 8 Deavett TJ Eddy Martin Edwards 8 Frost CW Fixber Chas 1, Fitzpatrick Jno, 2 iows Patk hase Sam’) Gardner Willis © old fighter.” The little feller spunked up and | Holcombe Dra A fold the old Gingrat thet he'd had one b’ar fight | Haynes A.W and he had killed the b'ar.

He'd killed the lion and the bar, and he know’d he was enough for the old big feller. Then the little feller talked raal religious to the old Gineral. You see he'd got religion afore that. and he knowed that the Lord would help a feller if he was right and got into a tight place. | He told Gineral Saul that the Lord had made him mighty supple, and looked out for him when the old-lion and b'ar tried to get their paws into him; and he knowed He'd see him through the fight with the old big feller, for he was just darin’ | ‘em and pesterin’ "em to make game of reli When the old Gineral seed he was so plucky aud religious, too, he knowed them’s the kin’ that fit powerful, and he told him to go in, and he made alittle prayer for him hisseif. Then the old Gineral put his own soger close on the little feller, and strapped his sword onto him. But they were a heap too big, and he shucked ‘em off directly, and made for a dry brauch down in the bottom. Then he hunted five little rocks as smooth as a hen egg, put ’em ina little bag where he carried his snack when he was a tendin’ the sheep, got his sling fixed all right, and hurried up to meet the old big feller in the medder lot. When he seed him comin’ he was powerful mad they'd sent down such a little feller, and jawed awful. But the little feller jest talked back re- ligious, and kept his eyes peeled.
