A TEXAS HORSE TRAIDE.
There is a gentleman by the name of
Smith, Jiving in Galveston, says the Vewir.,
who keeps a kind of a livery-stable.
Among. other horses in his custody was a
line hay horse belongiiig 'to Jones. This
horse, in cavorting about the stable-yard,
ran against a wagon and broke his leg. Of
course Snmith was responsible. All he had
to do was to send for. a policeman, have the
animal shot, and pay Jones about sixty
dollars, the value of the animal. Smith
notified the policeman, and started out to
see Jones, and inform him. officially about
the accident. Now, Smith is considerable
of a wag. Happening to meet Brown, he
asked if Brown did not want to buy a horse.
It had been the dream of Brown's life to
sit behind a horse of his own and call out
"g'l'ng!"' He wanted a cheap horse, and
one that was safe, so when Smith put the
question to him, Brown replied :
"TLay be so; if you have the right kind
of a horse.. Is he a steady, quiet horse ?"
"lie is the quietest horse you ever saw."
"Wonu't bite orkick, and is not likely to:
run awayv?"
"If he bites, kicks, or runs away,. I'll
grive yollrm'aniey back."
"Itumph !" said Brown; "what are you
asking for the wonderful animal ?"
"I'11 let you have him cheap. lie is that
flie bay horse Jones used to own. I'lllet
you have him for twenty-one dollars. Give
me one dollar and your note for twenty dol
lars more, and it is a bargain. I have no
nimore use for the horse, but I want money
right oit."
Brown thought to himself: "This is the
golden opportunity. Smith has been tam
lering with cotton futures and is strapped.
i m sorry, for' him, but business is business.
I'm not his gunarditin;" so he planked
down the dollar, and gave his note for the
balanie.
If Brown iiwas pleased with the 'trade,j
imith wai 'sf11 more, so. ,He called to
ieveral friends, and treated the crowd with
the dollar; after which the procession re=
formed and marched down to the stable to
see Brown's new' purchase.. ''When they
got there, the policemaui had ialready shot
the poor brute; and life looked like all be
really needed was, an inquest. rBrown
looked very much that :way himself. HeF
u:'naed pal, ,and then got red€, behind` the
ei u;-s I aThen-i he>:s4uiled,' but itvwas not a
yparticdlaruiy lifalthy smuile. Smithltried to
.help'. miatters;; and as soon as the cro.wd
hd.. uit h olding theirside°he< said::
"lNoxx, Brown,' Idon't want yorto tell
any body that. I swindled yun. I call 6n
In,
these gentlemeu to witness thit f've done
the square thing. This is .Joies' bay horse,
the identical one I sold you. Iguaranteed
he would not. bite nor kick. and yvol eami
not. provoke hunt to run away.; I think lie
fills the bill. I want. you to take himn 'off,
or I'll charge. you for keeping him."
Boys,'' aid Brown, "'don't gLve le
away. I know I amh not the only fool on
G.aveston lslandt. Let's go and hunt Iltr a'
duplicate, and I'll set 'em up.", i
They strolled out and met Robinsol.. r
"Lo.ook here, Rolbisoni, don't you wat;a
right good horse at a bargain? I've. just I
bought Jones' fine bhy horse. lle Iost a
sixty dollars originally, and lie is in just
the sani* condition hlie was- whein I ot 11
him." ''
"O0" s'aid Robinson, "'times are halt a
and horse teed is awful high. A high- e
stepping horse, like Jones' h y, will eat his I a
head off iii no time." ifi
"That's where you are foolin,; yourself. o
He e:its less than any horse you eveir aiw. tl
.y thilnder; no horse can eat less than he if
can." k
"Ain't he a little frisky ?"' c
Brown shook.his head and replied : f 1
"You are doing that horse injustice. 1h
You can tell by looking at him that he is ' fi
not that kind of an animal. I'll let you
have him for just what I .gave for imn d
-twenty dollar.s-one dollar down and Ib
your note, mccured by such men as lHei- h
denhemer, for the . hlance. I've got to e
have mo10ey.'" el
Robinson thought it. was meatn to take a:
advantage of' Brown's distress, but then it
was not his lookout. If he was out of his tl
lead, why . didn't hel have the court ap-. V
point him :t guardian? So he planked i.
clown one dollar and gave the note, on cor.- tr
Llitioti that the horse would go in a.wagon. el
"You bet," remarked Brown, "he'll go si
in a wagon. He woln' go in any thing else. .g
Come on, boys, let's spend this dollar." hI
After they had wiped off their mouths,
the procession re-formed and started to in- b:
spect the animnal. Sure enough, three dar- tt
keys were lifting him into a wagon. 81
"There," said Brown, "I told you he ta
would go into a wagon. Don't say I swhii- h
lied you. lie will eat less than- any horse at
vou ever owled. You will save his value si
in horse feed in two weeks. Just try and tl
see if he is not gentle. 'fTickle him with a1
straw." di
The speckttors applauded. Robinsoni t
looked like he ought to go along with his e,
iorse to keep him in countenance. hI
In conclusion, it is whispered on the If
strand among capitalists that some of the w
motes have already passed into the hands ii
f innocent holders, and as soon as they ft
mature protests will be in order,

''The late M. Porcher entertained a lively c1
re'ard for authors, and many is the one 1T
whom he has relieved of embarrassment i.a
by a timely loan. One day Alexandre lt
Dumas came to him, and, in a voice full of a
eagerness, said: "My dear fellow, you al
must let me have a little money. I have o
been so thoughtless as to leave my pocket
book at home, and I already owe the hack- I
man who brought me here for nine hours. fi
Lend me a louis, I beg of you," Porcher p
gives the money required, and the author hi
of "Monte Christo," in an easier frame of d
mind, descends the staircase. Almost at ti
the first step some one calls to him, "Mon- p
sieurDunmas! Monsieur Dumas !" "Ah, o
is it you, Catherine ?" >"M'onsieilr remem- h
hers me ?" "You are M, Porcher's cook." sý
"Yes, lmonsieur, and monsieur cannot have i s
forgotten that the last time he dined here tl
!Ie complimented tme on some pickles h
which I had made myself ?" "I remember
it perfectly." "Ah, well, I have saved a n
bottle of them for monsieur, Here it is." b
"You are very kind, my girl, How can I tc
reciprocate? Here, take this," and lhe s
presses the borrowed louis into her hand. b
Getting into the coach, he drives away M
then, as poor as before, with the impor- ni
tant exception of a bottle of pickles.- h
French paper. st
The Priest's Wit.-Curran once said to
Father Leary: "I wish, Reverend Father,
that you were St. Peter and had the keys
of heaven, because theh you could let me e
in." The shrewd and witty priest saw fc
the sarcasm, and turned its sharp edge on T
the skeptic by replying, "By my honor ti
and conscience, sir, it would be better for b
you that I had the keys of the other place, I
for then .1 could let you out.,' h
Running to a Fire.--Running to a fire
is one of the inalienable privileges of an
American citizen. Run he will. And it
doesn't make any difference whether he is
lame in both legs, afflicted with rheums
tism and spinal curvature, and wears a
porous plaster, a'chest-protector and a
liver-pad--he's bound to get to the fire. s
We mention this simply to show that men
have some advantages over women.
p
Which United States ?--There is yet a
another United States in this Western to
Hemisphere. It is the United States of c'
Peru and Bolivia and it is a brand new
arraingei;ent. It is number three. Num-. g
ber two is the United States of Columbia, P
formed in 1861 out of the territory known P
as New Grenada, and comprising nine o:
States. An American citizen travelling t(
abroad will now have to tell which United t`
State he hails from, if he desires to desig- P
nate his nationality with any certainty. t
A lawyer down South once demurred to O
the sufficiency of an indictment of his W
client, a moonshiner hauled up for a breach
of the internal revenue laws, on the "
-round that it was uncertain in not stat- g
ing which United States it was that the s
offence was alleged to have been com-. g
nitted against. Ii
d
Hope for the Anglers.--An, angler, o
writing to the Elmira Advertiser upon ti
tioute fishing, says : Trout streams of t
twenty years ago are in many eases trout ti
streams no more again forever, for the
reason that the natural conditions that t
made them such have passed away. Near- o
ly every middle aged man who reads this n
paragraphl can recall to his memory some g
:jleasant little brook, sheltered by the"
original forest, and fed by clear mountain t
springs, where he in boyhood's happy n
Summer evenings, with primitive rod and a
line and worms, caught "a nice mess of e
trout; and as he recalls the scene, he
knowa that the forest streams are gone, a
the seprings are more or less dried up, the it
tanneries, sawmills, and other industries e
have made the Stream impossible as ali
htome (for trout, It is the same every- p
where; and yet the fisherman need not b tj
discouraged. For a hundired years to cojme
there wiill be good tO.ut fis~1ng in the

Children at School,
Dr. Jacobi has made this :i special sttidy
trom the standpoint of' physiology, "tlits
Zoncluslon is that, as a rule, a child shoilif"
iot be sent to school before he is. eight
rears old. Not till this age is its blrainn
rubstance sufliciently developed; An is;i
-ant's brain is soft. It contains a large.
percentage of water. It is deficient in fat
atd phosphosphorus, on which, -to a largex -
:ent, intellectual activity depends. ; The
:onvolutions are fewer.. .
The. different parts of the brain do not ". -
-row in size and weight alike-rthe norn.a ..
proportion of the front, back and la.terral.
portions not being reachel, before the age
)f ten. So, too, the proporrtionl of the chest
:o the lower portions of the body is not at
:ained until the eighth: y!ar, while thitt
?art of the back (thle. lumbar), on which
:he sitting postiure depends,. is even .the~
nly partially developed.' About the tl<ft...
ind sixth years the base of the brain-grows
.pidly,-the frontal bones extendl forward.
and upward, and the ,anterior portion
grows considerably. Still, the white sulb
tance-the gray is the basis of intilt-.
