The president has at last ended tho suspense over the supreme court judgeship, and New York has won the prize.

In Ohio the railroad companies are actively engaged before the legislature to accomplish the destraction of the canals, but it is not thought they will succeed.

The base ballists are met in convection in Philadelphia. All (he prominent clubs of the country are represented, and a vigorous campaign is loosed for daring the coming summer.

Reports from the northern and central portionsjof tbe state in regard to the wheat crop are very encouraging, and unless some unlooked for calamity should happen, the harvest will be a rich one.

The rumor is again revived that Secretary Hunt is soon to be superseded by William E. Chandler. Tbe chief justice of the court of claims, and the chief justice of the supreme court of the District of Columbia, are both eligible for retirement, and it is said that Hunt can have either. The salary is only $4,500 per annum in either case.

L8?t evening the democrats of this township went through the formality of nominating a ticket, and now that the republicans know who they have to defeat they should take off their coats and ge to work. Tbe ticket nominated last night ignored the German element, bnt it is bj no means a weak one, and republicans should go to work with a will.

Of Garfield's letter to Chase, the New York Mail sayr "The letter that is paraded as though it was a terrible disclosure of treachery is a fresh revelation of the growing patriotism, the military genius and the eagerness for sction of the Garfield of 1863. Nobody but a jackal would erent any foulness of treschery in this manly and vigorous epistle."

The river and harbor bill will be presented to congress in about a week. It will call for about $12,000,000, and will differ widely from that of last year. All the great snd intysrtant works are liberally provided for, -and all tbe creeka are cut out. The small streams of West Virginia, Pennsylvania, and the south generally are left out of the prezent bill, and when it comes up for a vote a vigorous kick is expected from those localities.

The governor of Nebraska is coming in for a liberal share of abase for his recent action in' calling lor military assistance from the general government before he had exhausted the power of the state militia. Probably he thooght it better to save his home force for dress parade in fatnre, and allow Uncle Sam's boys to kill and be killed. In Washington it is looked upon as a disgrace to the governor, and a blot of shame on tbe people of his state.

The "technical deserter" bill will scon be reported favorably to the house of representatives. It removes tho brand of deserter from those, men who served faithfully through the war, and who at its close departed for their homes without the formality of a discharge. The men are merely guilty of a technical violation of tie law, but this bill will place them on an equal footing with all other soldiers, and will add many more names to the pension roll.

The New Yotk Tribune says cf oar late minister to Liberia: "The death of the Rev. Dr. Henry Highland Garnet in Liberia, whither be sailed only last November, will be widely regretted. Dr. Garnet's career, from the time be was dragged from a street car ia Ulica, in 1840, by a mob, because he was black, nntil bis death at his poet as the representative of the United States government, has been an honor to his race and his profession. In this city, where he did much good among his own people, and was honored by hie white brethren, tbe news if his death will papfr* oych personal sorrow."

B08KCBA5S' BE90TAL.

As this has became the all absorbing topic of contersftticn, anything, which tends to throw any light upon the subject will be read with interest. Yesterday tbe Indianapolis Times contained the following plain statement of facts in its editorial column: "The diecuraion which has been brought on by tbe publication of the Gar-Seld-Borecrana letter?, relative to the cause of the latter'a removal from the command cf the army of the Cumberland, m&kfs the foliowirg statement proper: Immediately after the batttle of Chickamaog», which was fought Sept. 19-20, '63, Governor Morton received a dispatch from the then Secretary of War Stanton, Stating tbat tbe latter wcuIA pass through Indianapolis on a spccial train, and asking Governor Morton to meet him at the depot. The governor went to the depot at the appointed time, at had an interview of some length with S'.anton. The latter was then en his way Bontb, with tbe intention of relieving Genersl Rosecrans from commend. During the interview with Governor Morion, be staled this to be tbe object of his trip, and he further stated thst the cause of Rofeecrans' removal was a telegram which th« general had sent to President Lincoln after be bat le, tsUtirg that his army #es b?at«D srd d« moralized, that it wzs useless to talk of putting down tbe rebellion, and rtcommecdipg sn armistice with a vit of agreeing cn terms cf peace. Gov.

Morton Was astounded by this statinTent cf Stanton, and the more so because he had previous to ibat time bad great rdmirRtion for Gereral Rosecrans. The interview with St*nton filled him with apprehension for the succefs of the Union cau«e, sni with grief at the discovery that Rceccrans, whom he had trusted and admired, should have proven so weak and faltering in faith. For seme time alter the interview Governor Morton was very despondent. It was during this time that he infermed his private secretary cf bis interview with Stanton and tbe character of the dippaUh which RoEfCrsns lyid fent to President Lincoln, and which Stanton said was the cause of h:s removal. There must be some record of this dispatch in the government archives, and perhaps the dispatch itself is in existence. If so, it would be a most important addition to the literature o£ the present discussion. Its contents, stated above from memory, are substantially as given by Governor Morton after his interview with Stanton"

The writer of the above, Col. W. R. Holloway, was, ut the time mentioned, Governor Morton's private Fecretary, and he certainly knows whereof he speaks. As the testimony accumulates it does not shine with any particular advantage to General Rosecrans, but all tends to show that Garfield's letter, if it was ever written by Garfield, had about as much to do with his removal as the changes of the moon. Thus far General RoEecrans has been very quiet in relation to the controversy in which he is so deeply iuterested, and the dispatches of yesterday announce that he intends to say nothing. His conclusion is a wise one. The whole subject is one which tbe country can very well afford to drop with as little discussion as possible.

COSTA RICA.

The dispatches this morning announce a terrible earthquake and fearful loss of life in South America. No particulars have yet been received, and it is to be hoped that when tbe f«cts come to hand they will be foucd lees terrible than now represented.

Costa Rica, the tcene of the catastrophe is the most southern lepublic of Central America. It has an area of 21,495 square miles, aod a population of about 200,000, mostly of Spanish descent, with very slight foreign elemental L'ke the whole of Central America, Costa Rica is of a volcanic formation, and subject to frequent earthquakes. Tne volcanoes are numercu.*, several of which are still in activity, the principal of these being tbe C»rtago ":r Iraeu, the Turialva, Chinipo, Miriavales, and Oroai. The soil is poov in mineral wealth compared with other Central American states, although there are several valuable gold mineB. The country is rich in forests, and produces coffee of an excellent quality. The revenue ia tbcut $4,000,000 per annum, one-third of which is derived from a monopoly in tobacco and brandy by the government, the rest from customs and various taxes. The expenditures are about equal to the receipts, and the public debt $12,000,000.

Petitions to the president for the pardon of Sargeact Mason are being generally circulated throught the country. The following is the form adopted in Indianapolis, and left at eome public place for signatures. Is will do very well for this cily, and some enterprising citizen should put the ball in motion

IspiANAroiJs, March 13, 1882.

To hi* Excellency, Chcrier A. Arthur, President of the United Slates: HONORABLE SIB Through the prees the information has been received tbat the court martial bas found Sergeant Mason guilty of Ehootjng at the mautsirin of the late president cf the United States, sentencing him to dismissal from the army, loss of pay and eight yesrs imprisonment in the penitentiary. While we folly endorse evety effort to preserve military discipline, we yet fully appreciate the excitement under which the shooting was done, and therefore unite in asking a full pardon to Sergeant Mason, feeling that it can be granted without Injury to military discipline.

The De Lesseps canal has already cost millions of franc?, yet it can scarcely -be said the work has fairly started. Thus far all the money spent has been for preliminary surveys, elearieg lha projected line of forests, purchasing tools and establishing the working stations. The work of digging and excavating will soon commeoc?, and then the capitalize" engaged in the scheme will appreciate the immensity of the job.

In addition to tbe »ix colored men now holding office in this city, the prospect is that there will be another after the flret Monday in April, in the person of William Matthews, who h»s been pUced on the republican ticket as a candidate for constable. What do the k. k.'e, the colored kickers, say to this? Is this another instance oi the ingratitude uf the republic I can party?

THL COLORED BOLTERS.

The dissatisfied colored republican*,' who have beeo making st}eh a hullabaloo tbrongh the daily democratic organ, were severely sat down on, so to speak, last evening. It has been shrewdly suspected tha», like the three Tooley street tailors who resolved themselves as "we the people," the cclorcd recalcitrants aforesaid were not asu numerous as ihev were noisy. Accordingly, at tbe meeting- at National Heli Wt nigh', called by them, there were assembled fully a hundred colored voter?, the large majority of whom, as the resolt proved, being republicans in deed as well as in name. The very small eqnad cf would-be boilers started out very

bresh," but it

was not long before ibey learned that they had counted without their beet, for whatever they proposed was voted down overwhelmingly. Wb?n it cense to endorsing the republican ticket, only two of them voted ia the negative.

Messrs. *J. H. Thorpe, S P. Daniels, Marion Coffia and others launched hot shot into the opposition, and tbe utmost enthusiasm was manifested by the truebine republicans who are not willing to disgreca their race by going back on tbe glorious old party which gave the colored people their freedom, and now c-tands by then in tbe maintenance cf their rights. A withering rebuke was administered to the lew, veiy few, to caJl.-d ref ublicana who all,JW themselves to b9 used as cat's paws to pull demccratic cjaestnuis out of the fire. It did the soul go*.d to bear the triumphant shouts which proclaimed the victory of loyal and true colored republicans over these of their raci *ho have lent themselves to thU democratic echcme to attempt to divide the colored vote.

After this cignal defeat these erring colored men, on. their own choeen grousd, we shall probably hear but little of the wonderful bolt that,the Gazette has crow ed so much over.

SIUNXOS'S BACK DOITS.

Yes'erday the attorneys if Patrick Shannon .and George W. Bunting dismifsid tbe libel suits instituted by these parties against Charle* Eppinghousen last June, and in dismissing, the plaintifh will have to pay all the coet?. -This is a mo-.t humiliating conclusion ior Mr. Shannon, end a great triumph fos. Mr. Eppinghousen. It appenrB that Mr. E.'s attorneys had given notice that they would take depositions at India polis yesterday, and that Messrs. Baff and McNutt were there for that purpose. They learned tbat they could prove much more ttan they ever belies el possible hence Mr. Shannon was stricken with a sudden fear of the ree'ult of the mw developments. His attorneys proposed to dismiss the. case if Mr. EppinghouEeu wosld pay hia own costs, which proposition was refused whereupon the case, as well as tbat ofMr. Bunting, was dismissed as-above.

This removal of these celebrated cases from the courts leaves us fcee to comment upon them as we may deem proper, and w^expect to do so at considerable length from time to time. The Express is amply vindicated—if any vindication were deemed neccesary—in its opposition to the corrupt and disgraceful court house conspiracy. It wxs conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity, acd many persons now realize this truth who censured the Express for exposing and antagonizing the scheme.

THE SIXTH DISTRICT.

The delegates from Fayette have not been chocen and but little thought has been giren to the Gubject, which is mainly due to tbe prevailing idea, that Browne will be nominated without opposition. We have it from very reliable authority, that Judge Mellett and Judge itackleB are not candidates, aud will not-be, and that General Browne wiil receive the unanimous vote of Randolph, Delaware and Henry. That is sufficient to glee him the nomination, but Rush and Fayette are equally certain, and if Wayne dlsires to give Mr. Comotock a complimentary vote, It m.ay set him in the line of promotion hereafter. Mr. Comstock is a good man, and would reflect credit upon this constituency in congress, but if we understand the fueling in Fayette at present, it is that a change is not desired.— [Connersvilie Times,

The friends of Kalian Tom Br wne (and they a^e legion) will rep:ce to bear that he has a sure thing of uno'.her term in Congress, He htta made an excellent rccoid, and is one of the most useful members of Congress.

Last Friday, at Middletowo, Dalawaie, an eminent temperance advcc.ite accused Senator Bayard of having told himself to ihe liquor interest. The latest advices from Washington do not indicate that tbe penator is at all uneasy over the accuea jn. Oa the contrary, he assert* that ia Massachuset-, with two hundred /ears experience, it has been found that "prohibition does not prohibit," and it is now his opinion and belief tbat the attempt at prohibition in Maine has not only been practically a failure, but has tended to make hypocrius of the people. These are the views which Mr. Bayard fully expresses, but at the same time he insists that he is no friend or supporter of unlicensed or unrestrained liquor selling.

To the "dissatisfied colored republicans," if there be any, our ad*ic9 is— Stop giving aid and comfort to the enemy roll up your sleeves and go to work for tbe republican ticket help to give it a rousing majority prepare tbe way for a general victory this year act as true republicans ought to act: then, if you have any real grievances, make your complaints at the proper time and they will ba respectfully listened to and remedied This is no .time ta stir up strife and discoid.

Congressmen Kelley end Rmdall tie each wot king hard to hive the annual revenue receipts reduced about seventy millions, in the interest cf a high protective tariff, but ihere will be a bard fight over it in committee, and there is every indication th el it will be defeated. If the advocates of internal revenue reduction succeed in cutting the receip'.s-dowtk thirty millions they may consider that they hive gained a glorious victory.

THE PROOF.

''Dissatisfied Colored Republican," in a ccminnnicstion in tbe democratic daily organ, has this to say

Tbe ExoreatEaya we have six coto?e4 men in office. This is false. We have only two receiving city pay and two in the gevernment'a service. Prof. TL R. feagby was promised clerkship in one of the offices if the Repub&xsa got in power, bnt this promise was never fulfilled.

In order to show that this very smart writer doesn't know it all, we name the colored republicans in office in his city: James H, Walker, mail agent, Uoicn depot Litllekn Walker and J. T. Rassel', employes un^er J. H. Walker R. C. Greer, letter -rriet W. II. Howard and Nelson Record, policemen. Prof. E. R. Eagby, we think, is now in Government employment in Washington if not, he ia certain to be soon. This we have on gocd aulhority. li "dissati«fied colored republicans" wish to get a share of the loaves and fishes—acd that probably is what is the matter—they will never do it lyr twin- chronic kickers. JSuch men are not to be trusted.

CONGRESS.

THE SENATE.

The tarif commission bill wan taken up aud Slater -maintained tbat the greatest hindrance to the achievement of commercial supremacy was protection, and the only condition on which we could win success was the adoption of free trade.

After an executive session cf three hours the Senate adjourned.

THE HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, a 1 3 1 8 S 2 Belmont asked leave to ojfer a resolution calling upon the Secretary of State for a statement of the connection of Trescot with that department.

Williams, of Wisconsin, objected. Butterworth reported the army appropriation bill, appropriating $29,293,380 Committee of the Whole.

The Speaker announced as the select committee on woman suffrage: Ciry, White, Sherwin, Stone Hepburn, Springer, Vance, Muldrow and Shackleford.

The Speaker presented the memorial of the- Legislature Assembly of Utah, asking Congress to suspend action upon Utah affairs until by a committee of investigation facts are learned and a tangible foundation laid for rational proceedings referred.

Toe anti-polygamy bill was then taken up, tbe pending question being the point of order of Converse, of Ohio, thst tbe bill mede an appropriation of money, and therefore must be considered ia Committee of the Whole.

This precipitated a long debate, io which tbe Republicans took the grouni that the Democrats were d?sirous of defeating all anti-polygamy legislation and were fighting the bill under cover, which the Deraccrats denied, but demanded an opportunity to discuss and amend the bill. Haskell, however, refused to have the bill amended, and the Speaker finally delivered an il*b.irate decision against Converse's point of order.

Converse appealed from the decii-ion, and the appeal was immediately laid upon the tahV, motion of Haskell, who thereupon »r»ded tbe previous question on thi- tuird reading of the bill. The Demccrntr: then refrained from voting, thusleavi.-ig the House witbont a quorum. A scene of considerable confusion ensued the Republican and Democrats calling for regular order io turns when those for and againet that bill tried to speak to the question.

Motions to adjourn mera made snd adopted, and calls of the House moved, and some attempts were made to reach a compromise, but without success. Finally pending a motion for a call of the House, Haskell moved that further proceedings under the call be dispensed with, and the House took recess untill tomorrow at 11:30 a. m.

A Republican caucus was announced for Wednesday evening.

Ool. W. Young.

Sullivan Times (Dem.) We are heartily glad to see that there is a decided boom throughout the State for Colonel Young, of our town, for the nomination for the office of Secretary of State on tbe Republican ticket. Colonel Yonng is one cf tbe best men in that party, and its convention* should it place him in nomination, will do both the party and itself honor.

While we do not wish and do not expect to see a Republican in that important office, there is certainly no man outaide of tbe Democratic party we would more gladly see there than Colonel Young.

Since June,. 1868, Colonel Youog bas been and now one oi our most enterprising and prosperous merchants. He is always to tbe front in everything looking to the good name and prosperity cf our town and county, is very popular throughout the county, and, if nominated, will certainly poll a larger vote here than could any other Republican.

He has for several years past, been chairman of tbe RepublicanCentral committee of tbe county, and Democrats need net be told of the energy and tact with which be has managed campaign work.

Col. Young was but seventeen when be enlieted in the llth Mo., io August, 1861. He was mustered .- at in July, 1862, reenlisted ia the 9S.h Illinois ia Aagnst, and was made Secon i"Lieoten»nt in September, of the Bare year. Ia September, 1863, he waa promoted to Adjutant, in December, 1864, to Captain, sni in April, 1865, to Colonel of tae 137th U. 8. troops, and in January, 1866, was honorably mastered out. Cntninly his record ia all that the most radical, the most stal' wart of the stalwarts could ask.

HON. JAMES F. WILSOS.

Hon. James F. Wilson, elected United States Senator from Iowa for the term beginning in 1883, is no novice in high political deliberations. He is a native of Ohio, having been born at Newark, in that State, on October 19th, 1828. He studied law and was admitted to tho Licking County Bar1 in 1849, but removed to Fairfield, Iowa, where he still resides, in 1858. He soon entered politics, being elected a member of the Constitutional Convention in 1856 a member of the Lower House of the Legislators in 1857, and of the State Senate in 1859, becoming President of the latter body when re-elected in 1861. He was soon after elected to fill a vacancy in Congress, (and was three times reelected, and retired in 1869, after serving seven years and declining another election. In 1870 he was an aspirant for a seat in the Senate, and again, in 1872, became a candidate, for the ex-

The Biter Bitten.

Getting up a "corner" iu pork, wheat or corn is not a modern device. Years ago, when the thriving city of Milwaukee was but a territoriiiu town, with only fifteen hundred inhabitants, a speculator thought that he could make a large amount of money if he should buy and thus control all the salt there was in town. So he bought every barrel he could find and stored it. Having, as he thought, a corner, he put the price up to ten dollars a barrel. Unfortunately for the speculator's profits, another citizen heard of the speculator's purpose, and saw therein a chance to make an honest

He dispatched a schooner .to for a load of salt The winds

were propitious, and the schooner with her load was soon at the good citizen's dock.

One morning a farmer came into town for a barrel of salt. Going ulator's he was asked ten dollars a barrel. "Salt has riz," was the only reply vouchsafed to the farmer's protest. He, however, would not pay that price, and soon discovered that there was a schoon-er-load of salt for sale at the dock at twenty shillings-a barrel. Having purchased a barrel he returned to the speculator and telling him of his purchase denounced him as a swindler. "You must have stolen that salt," said the speculator, "for there's no salt in Milwaukee exccpt what I have." "Oh, ain't there? There's a schooner load of it at Swett's dock." "Then I'm ruined!" exclaimed tho speculator, as ho rushed out to verify the statement—and lie deserved to be.

No Orank Present.

"Am dar1 a crank present in de hal to-night?" softly asked Brother Gardner as the meeting opened.

Not a voice answered. "Have any of you seen a crank aroun' town dis las' week?" continued th President.

Not one had, or at least no one ad mittcd it. "Two weeks ago do kentry wa3 ful1 of 'cm. You could find 'em on de strcc!' kyar, at de depot, aroun' de hotels, an' eben in chuach. All of a sudden you bi can't skecr up a single crank. Do bi2ness has got to be unhealthy. De plea of insanity doan' go down wid He jury as slick as it did. De time when one man kin put a knife into anoder an' make de jury believe he was bo'n dat way and couldn't help it has'bout ex pired. De crank mus' go. He mus' quit shootin', stabbin', stealin' an' bein' heard of in de land. When de crank fust brought for'd do ideah dat de Deity was behind him an' urged him on it was suntbin' new an' novel, but dat ideab am played out wid de rest. "My'frens, let de cantankerous bizncss alone. Doan' call stealin' by any odder name. If your hands itch fiu money dat belongs to some one else, take it an' skjp, an' when fde law overhauls you doan' sot up de plea dat an angel from Heaven urged you on. Legal farces have had deir day in dis kentry. Insanity, kleptomania, sudden emotion, drunkenness an' loss o' memory will be poo' excuses befor' fuchcr juries."

Bells.

In many places in England a bell is rung after dark. The origin is usually cur&us though generally and wrongly put down to the curfew. At Storrington, a village in Sussex, the bell rings at eight in the evening. This is in virtue of an endowment a man lost his way on the Downs in a sea fog, and only found his home by hearing the bell. of Storrington church. In gratitude, he endowed the church with a sum of money, on condition that the bell should be rung at eight o'clock every night. A similar account is given of the bell of Great St. Mary's, Cambridge, which rings at nine in the evening, having been endowed by a Saxon princess, who was saved from perishing in the fens by hearing a Cambride bell. "Great Tom," of Christ Church, Oxford, is tolled one hundred and three times every night the origin is probably the same as that of the others, but the "scout" only knows that the "buttery" is then opened. At Rome a bell rings at "one hour of the night" for the De Profundis, and at "two hours" the evening before a fast. This "one hourof night" means one hour after the Ave or Angelus and. not, as a clever tourist once described in bis diary, one o'clock in the morning.

Consciousness in "(fetching Gold. It is noteworthy as a curious yet easily explicable fact, says tho Lancet, that few persons t^ke cold who are not cither self-consciously careful or fearful of the consequences of exposure. If the attention be wholly diverted from the existence of danger by some supreme concentration of thought, as, for example, when escaping from a house on fire, or plunging into cold Water to save life, the effects of "chill" are seldom experienced. This alone should serve to suggest that the influence exerted by cold falls on the. nervous sjstem. The immediate effects of a displacement^ of blood from the surface andits determination to the external organs are not, as was one® supposed* sufficient to produce the sort of congestion that issues lh inflammation. If it were so, an inflammatory condition would be tho conn mon characteristic of our bodily state. When the vascular "system is healthy, and that part of the nervous apparatus by which the caliber of the vessels is controlled performs its proper functions normally, any disturbance of equilibrium in the circulatory system which may be produced by external cold will be quickly adjusted. It is, therefore, on the state of the nervous^ system that everything depends, and it is, as we have said, on the nervous system the stress of a "chill" falls. Consciousness is one element in the production of a cold, and, when that is wanting, the

henomenon is not very likely to ensue, is in this way that persons who do not cultivate the fear of cold-catching are not, as a rule, subject to this infliction. l^hisfis one reason why the habit of wrapping up tends to create a morbid susceptibility. The mind, by its fear-begetting precaution, keeps the nervous system on the alert for impressions of cold, and the centers are so to .say, panic-stricken.when even a slight sensation occurs. Cold applied to the surface, even in the form of a gentle current of air somewhat lower in temperature than the skin, will produce tho "feeling" of "chill." Conversely a thought will often give rise to the "reeling" of cold applied to the surface—for example, of "cold water running down the back" Many of the sensations of cold or heat which are experience by the hypersensitive have no external cause. They are purely ideational in their origination and ideal in fact.

:.:i',. Hinta on Starched Linen. Much has been said and written about poorly done-up linen. One will tell us to use boiled starch, another will say use it cold, and another says she cannot get the linen stiff enough for her men folks without first using the boiled starch, and then the coldT I think the fault in most cases is hot in the starching, but in the ironing. Linen will not look nice ironed with a rough, dirty iron, no matter in what way it is starched. It is the soiled look caused by dirty irons, and not a lack of stiffness, that most men complain of. I do pity the man whose linen comes from the ironing-board looking only fit for the wash. To prevent this soiled appearance it is not necessary to have nickel-plated or any other improved flat-irons the old-fash-ioned flat irons will do well enough if kept smooth and clean. They should be kept in a dry place to prevent rust, and should never remain on the stove unless in use. I have noticed that those who keep them on tho stove from one ironing day to another always have rough irons, and consequently soiled linen. When they are set to cool always set on the, end, as they gather moisture if placed on the face. In using cold starch, do not have the water very thick with starch wet the linen, and then place it on the ironing board and rub with a dry cloth. This will remove the particles of starch that would stick to the iron, and does not take tbe starch from the linen as rinsing it would. I find no trouble in doing up starch clothes in a nice manner since I have tried this way.

Condition of a Stallion for the Stud. The stallion requires regular exercise for several weeks before he stands for mares. Tho soft, relaxed muscles, from indolenco or improper exercise, and tho obstruction of tho organs of locomotion, from over-loaded nosh, are unfit to be entailed, and will produce nothing of any value. The art of conditioning the stallion for the stud consists in suitable exercise, to harden the muscles, sweating out the surplus fat, to clear tho wind, rubbing down the pores of the skin, so that the insensible perspiration will improve the health, ana. cleansing out the whole system, so as to prepare for the free circulation of the blood that stimulates tho organs of locomotion. The stallion is generally pampered in idleness, which destroys his ambition overloaded with flesh, which obstructs his action, and overtasked in the stud, which causes him to get lank, leggy, illformed, worthless colts. To avoidthese degenerating effects, tbe sire must be trained up to the highest state of constitutional vigor, so as to generate the same health and vigor in his offspring. It is a truism in animal physiology) that the most active organs will reproduce their own activity. It is the great muscular activity of the sire, and nervous energy of the dam, that stamps the impress of speed and bottom upon their colts.-—
