PirTsevurG, March 7, 7873. Astrange story comes from the lps of Captain Mcwaniela, a resident of Canonsburg, a village handy to this city. MeDaniecls served throughout the late war, bears the character of a genticman and his reputation fer honesty and veracity is un- impeacbabie. He is a prosperous merchant of Canonsburg, the pillar of a Presbyterian church, and the story, though it may smack of sensationalism, your correspondent is assured on the word of a prominent minister of this village, is strietly true; in his own language, ““McDaniels’ word is as good us his bond,’ In October last McDaniels lett for New York to purchase a stock of goods, and it was generally known to the residents of the village that he had a large sum of money in his possession. He was to return within a week, but months went by and no word came to his family of his whereabouts or his intentions, THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF THE MAN iurnished Jood for gossip for the press of the coun- try at the time; but the conclusion arrived at was that he had been robbed, murdered and his body thrown into the river. Some persons were of the opinion that he-was on the brink of financial ruin, and had collected all the means he could with a View of defrauding his creditors, and had taken a steamer fer Europe; or, by leaving uo trace behind him, had heped to bafile every attempt at recap- ture by those interested. Detectives were em- ployed by his reiatives; rewards were offered; the prisons of New York and the Morgue of that city were searebed, and everything done that might possibly throw some light on the singular disap- pearance. Months were spent ina VIGOROUS SEARCH FOR A CLUE to the whereabouts of the missing man, but time brought no tidings, and the circumstance was al- Most forgotten, except by his most intimate friends and grief-stricken famtly. A week or 80 aso great was the astonishment and joy of the people of Canonsburg in learning that a letter,;had been received from Captain McDaniels, dated New Orleans, detailing his-wonderful adventures, and requesting that money be sent to that city to en- able him to reach home. Some persons had scru- ples that the writer of the letter, cognizant of the disappearance of McDaniels, was attempting to prey upon the credulity of the family and swindle them out of the money, but the handwriting was familiar, and the overjoyed family were only too glad to forward the remittance. On his return home the villagers extendedto the wanderer the heartiest kind of a reception, and his establishment every day is filled with people who come to offer their congratulations and hear his strange story. Before he told of his adventures to me, he said he learned with regret from his family that some of the newspapers had not treated bis Case without prejudice to his character asa Christian and honorable gentleman, THE CAPTAIN'S STORY. I took my leave of this village on the sth of Oc- tober, in company with an old and intimate friend, Dr. Martin, and arrived at Philadelphia on the morning of the day following.

The party he accuses of crime, however guilty, may bring a suit against him for libel, and by claiming excessive damages and swearing that he is about to leave the country may have the bail fixed so high as to make its pro- curement by the defendant impossible, and thus subject him to incarceration in jail. You will per- ceive the great anomally here, as the accused is enabled té punish his accuser before trial and brand him for his efforts in behalf of justice with the disgrace which ought only to attach tothe guilty. Is not this teniold worse than imprison- ment for debt, abolished long ago?

In consequence of tnis action Ihave been in jailfive weeks, and although I have twice procured orders for thé ex- amination of Mr. Winston, with the view of estab- lishing the truth of the alleged libel from his own testimony, he has by influence and legal quib- bling evaded this just requirement, and kept me in pifsriap. my great pecuniary loss and personal yu . I make this brief statement to you, who are Bache an editor, with the view of inducing you o undertake the reform of this abuse. A man ac- cused of murder or robbery can only be impris- oned a very limited period before he 18 allowed an opportanity to face his accuser and exculpate him- self in open court, If the charge against him is bot suMciently established to justify his committal he is set free. Why should! or any defendant in a civil suit be denied this manifest right? I have committed no crime, and it was, on the contrary, for the resolute performance of a public duty that 1 was sued, arrested and imprisoned, and yet I am refused the privilege accorded to the worst male- factor.

The Starecity ef Horses. ‘The following letter has been addressed by Ad- miral Rous to Lord Rosebery, with reference to his approaching motion tn the House of Lords on the scarcity of horses in England:— BERKELEY SQUARB, Feb. 15, 1873. My_ Drar RoskseRy—The facts from practical knowledge bearing upon the state and condition of our national stud convince me that in 1873 there is & greater number of horses of every description in England than ever was known, and that in their es and vocations they are superior DP essors, A strange jon of na- tional wealth has increased the demand fer supe- tior artieles, especially for hunters, high-stepping carriage horses and clever hacks; consequently the extra demand exceeds the normal supply. All luxuries and domestic stock have risen in value, owing toa higher remuneration for labor, and tt stands to reason that with the present price of beef and mutton no farmer occupying grass lands can speculate with advantage in rearing bone when he can get forty-five shillings for his lambs. ‘There are only two classes profitable to breed— Suffolk cart norses, because the mares only lose two months’ work during the year, and their foals have increased in value 10) per cent; secondly, shorenaphren stock, the produce of celebrated mares by first class stallions. Unfortunately many farmers prefer breeding by Inferior horses at a smal] fee rather than paying £4 for a clever sire; and Imay here remark that a stallion serving gratis, instead of conferring a public benefit, is productive of injury by enticmg owners of worn- out mares to take the chance of producing @ mar- ketable foal, 2 sp ecuIager in halt-bred stock can- not rear and break in a serviceable four-year-old colt under £60; that will not pay—hence the diminution of the class of hacks, @ must look to Nore Germany, Denmark and Norway for inferior stock. Although every species of domestic animals has improved in stature, weight and good qualities during the last fifty years, from horses, short horns and sheep to duc! 3 and fowls, the race horses } 4 are so proud of will eventually be beaten by rance. Frenchmen have bought the cream of the cream of our blood—Tigris, Lottery, Gladiator, West Aus- tralian and many other iilustrious mares and horses, rejecting roarers and infirm legs. As they have sown s0 they have reaped. Considering the number of their brood mares they have beaten us with respect to greater powers of endurance, and they have larger bone under the knee, The French government encourage the breed by giving valu- able prizes, and the French Jockey Club derive a revenue from the racing stands, which 18 applied to racing interests, but confined to native horses, Our stock has suifered owing to the numerous Public breeding establishments. To increase the dividends they rear forty feals on tatuted ground which ought not to carry more than twenty. Then a necessity arises for keeping the yearlings separate in small paddocks, and they are shut up foreighteen or twenty hours out of the twenty-four in close hovels, overfed and fattened up to conceal any natural defects, They are brought to the hammer fit to eat, not to go into work. Sore shins and peccant humors are the natural results. Nine years in ten the best horses are reared in a private establishment. it is not so in France, They are clever enough to estimate the value of a great range, filty-acre addocks, fresh air and open sheds day and night, 1 Vith respect to Count Delagrange’s establisament the yearlings are tried early. They retain their speed and soundness and outlast our horses in ; | training. In England there are only twe race- courses where the receipts are devoted to public rizes, Ascot and Newmarket. At Epsom and oncaster nine-tenths of the revenue is devoted to private pockets and town rates, Our prizes are 1 | Open to all the world; even the paltry national do- q | nation of Royal Plates voted each session by the 4 | House of Commons to improve the breed of horses on British territory is partially lost to us by Her Majesty’s Masters of the Horse allowing foreign 1 horses to compete. They have been liberal with trust money which they were bound by, duty. to see 1 properly appropriated. Itis the old British reci- procity system, to give away everything and re- ceive nothing. Our government becomes more hostile every year to the turf, Not satisfied with an iniquitous tux on race horses the iuland revenue has com- menced a new dodge to impreve the breed, They have intimated to the owner of Knight of the Gar- ter to pay a percentage on his services, He is about tbe finest horse in the world. The greatest absurdity is the argument in news- papers that English racehorses have degenerated owing to the system of short races—as if running four miles to please the butchers would improve their stamina, The strongest and the most power: ful horses and mares are the most celebrated for speed; but we anxiously send our brood mares, even at the expense of £100, to the stoutest run- nera, Do the simpletons {magine that strong medicine, long sweats anda thorough preparation to carry heavy weights for four miles add to the vigor and procreation of the animal, and that by a brutal treatment he will be more capable of getting better stock? There are 2,000 horses carryin; heavy weights and running long steeple-chases ani hurdle races. Does that improve the breed? With respect to racehorses, greyhounds and men, about two in 1,000 can run four miles in a superior form. A man five feet two inches will beat a man six feet three inches for two miles, but if both are equally well made, put one hundredweight on their backs and the big one will win. Such, I conceive, illustrates the diiference between the racehorses 0! the last century and of the present era; they have increased from thirteen hands three inches to fifteen and a half hands two and a halfinches im 170 years. The practical cause of a scarcity of horses is a re- dundancy of wealth. The practical remedy— put the same tax on race- horses as on other horses of luxury, and then pray leave us alone.
