It is true tn:,t one man rah make a horse last totteee than another one can, but nit with the same care and work. There is a great deal in the care, the owner and the horse; when these are all good the horse lasts a long time. While an occasional good trot- ter comes from an obscure family, the student of pedigrees will be struck with the fact that the great stream of trotters pours from sources in which the trotting gait and trotting instinct are the pre- dominant elements. American horsemen are picking up quite a good proportion of win- ners at the English horse shows. English breeders are advocating the gelding of all but the very best draft horses, as they say that Americans want no other kind, and the market is in danger of being overstocked with stallions. Probably no class of horsemen et so much wo. k out of their teams as teamsters in our great cities. A day's sickness of a horse or anything that will keep him from work means a good deal to them, and they look after their teams with the greatest cure. The result is that they got a ' est amount of work out of the ma- chine that they are so careful to keep in order.

On one occasion he found upon his arrival at a certain town several couples awaiting his blessing. The old man was tired and wish- ed to make short work of the job. 'Stand up,' he began, 'and jine hands,' which being done, he rat- tled awtled through a marriage service that like himself, was original. 'There,' he said, when it was fin- ' ished, 'ye can go ; ye're man and 1 wife, ev'ry one o' ye.' Two of the couples hesitated, and finally made it apparent that in the sudden •fining' they had be- come confused, and had taken t.`re bands of the wrong persons. The old preacher's eyes twinkled as be took in the situation, but be instantly straightened up, and with a wave of his hand dispersed them. '1 married ye all,' he said, 'sort. yourselves.'

The English newspapers are praising Lady Lambert fir her accuracy, as well as for her skill in deer stalking, for 'the second time this season she has brought down a noble stag while stalking in Abernethy Forest. The last one weighed about fourteen stone. The Marchioness of Hantly did a grateful act the other day. She was a passenger in the Scotch express that was so nearly wreck- ed at Selby in Yorkshire, but happily the presence of mind of the signalman prevented the acci- dent. The Marchioness sent the man a cheque for .£5 and a scarf pin set with brilliants, and sug- gests that he will wear it for "good luck." Will Carleton, the popular anther of Farm Ballads, is a broad shouldered, erect, handsome man, looking like a soldier rather than a poet, and like a very well dressed Wall Street man rather than like either. Ho is a great favorite as a lecturer, is a capital mimic, an excellent story—teller, and "if he be not fellow al the best kings, is at least the best king of good fellows.' The Queen or Roumania has had two serious troubles, whidh preyed sadly on her excitable, emotional nature. Her only daughter died, and Charles, her husband, has adopted a grown-up nephew to fill the State vacancy, but everybody knows this is not the same thing to the poor Queen Consort, whose position is never the sante as when her own child comes next in succession. Inventor Edison is an indefat- igable worker, and he pays little heed to the passage of time when occupied with a new experi- ment or some fIesNinvestigation. A day or two ago, a gentleman who was visiting his laboratory, and whose son was about to enter upon his firat employment, asked Edison to give hint a motto for the boy, so that he might have it as a stimulus and guide. Mr Edison laughed a little at the novel request, and then said : "Well, I'll give hint this : 'Never look at the clock." A rather amusing incident con- nected with the late visit of the Duke and Duchess, of Abercorl, to Tory Island on the occasion of the opening of the new telegraph station on that island, erected by Lloyd's, may not be trenetally known. The sea on that morning happened to he very rough, and so the visitors experienced great trouble in landingwithout gutting wet. The Duchess, however, set the ladies .,f the party a good example by boldly tucking tip her skirts and taking her seat on the back ofa brawny native, in 'which rather pecular manner she was safely convoyed ashore. --- Children Cry for A NEW GOLIATH. Il. rr Sandow, wh will he rcntetnbert•,I. ,Ietiutte,f S m•.,n in a conquest at the Aquarium, has unearthed in Westphalia, and brought, to L,,nuou fur exhibition hpurposes, a gentleman who is enceforth to be known as •'Goli- utli." This prodigy is said to possess the following peculiarities: One of his bands will easily cover a shoulder of mutton ; and a ring he wears on his forefinger is in cir- cumference the size of a half- crown ; he can span a foot from thumb to third finger ; he can easily lift 800 pounds at once; he has Lever be defeated as a wrert'er F and, tinally, he is stated to have in contest with a mad cow, easily turned it on its back and held it there. "With reference to the state - went that the new 'Westphalian strong man, 'Goliath,' once laid a cow upon its back by its horns, it may interest our readers," writes a correspondent, "to know that Lord Arthur Cecil, a half-brother of Lord Salisbury, once told me a similar incident in connection with himself. Lord Artbur•,though a short man, is of giant physique and enormous strength. He was one day walking through a field on his farm at Innerleithen, when a young bull rushed at him. In- stead of turning tail, Lord Arthur coolly seized the animal by his Thorns and pushed him back, wrig. gling and struggling, inch by inch till he got him into his stall, where he left him cowering and trembling all over." It was Lord Arthur, who on one occasion, when travelling by rail, bade his new man -servant get the tickets, which the man did, pro- curing two first-class tickets, and seating himself in the sante car- riage with the master. Lord Arthur said nothing at the mo- ment, but the next time he bought the tickets himself. On the ' next occasion the servant, being entrusted with the task,tcok two third-class tickets. --Pall Mall Budget. CONSUMPTION CURED.

A Correspondent telegraphs that the potato crop in Ireland is a failure in the congested districts lying at the northwest, west and southwest coast; that the failure close to the coast is comclete, but in other parts the crop is an average. The other crops are entire. ly satisfactory. There is a new phrase of contempt of court:—Jndge Hughes,' of St Thomas, was hugged in mistakeon the street one night lately --a young girl mistaking him for her fellow. It is said that the Judge has been walking about the same spot since, after dark, to see if he could not be hit by any more mistakes, bat the young lady has, evidently found her best fellow.

June 27, 1 yr A man was brought before the Mayor of Galt the other day charged by the chief constable with cruelty to animals. The man was taking a load of lambs home for a butcher and the cruelty lay in having their legstied. Being the first case of the kind the Mayor let him off with a reprimand. The statute reads : "Every one who wantonly, cruelly or unnecessarily beats,binds, etc., any cattle, poultry, dog, domestic ani- mal or birds, • • shall, on summary conviction be liable to a penalty not exceeding fifty dollars." Such offences are of frequent occurrence in this vicinity and now that their attention has been called to the matter we hope the, police will endeavor to put a stop to the cruel practice. MANY A LIFE HAS been saved by the prompt use of Ayer's Pills. Travelers by land or sea are liable to constipation or other derangements of the stomach and bowels which, if neglected, lead to serious and often fatal consequences. The mostsure means of correcting these evils is the use of Ayer's Cathartic Pills. The pru- dent sailing -master would as soon go to sea without his chronometer as without a supply of these Pills. Though prompt and energetic in operation, Ayer's Pills leave no 111 effects ; they are purely vegetable and sugar-coated ; the safest medicine for old and young, at home or abroad. "For eight years I was afflicted with constipation, which at last became so bad that the doctors could do no more for me. Then I began to take Ayer's Pills, and soon the bowels recovered their natural and regular action, se that .now I am in Excellent thealth."—Mrs. C. E. Clark, Tewksbury, Massachusetts. "I regard Ayer's Pills as one of the most reliable general remedies of our tames. They have been in use in my family for affections requiring a purga- tive, urertive, and have given unvarying satisfac- tion. Wo have found them an excellent remedy for colds and light fevers"— W. R. Woodson, Fort Worth, Texas. " For several years I have relied more upon Ayer's Pills than upon anything etas in the medicine chest, to regulate my bowels and those of the ship's crew. These Pills are not severe in their ac- tion, but do their work thoroughly. I have used them with good effect for the cure of rheumatism, kidney trou- bles, and dyspepsia." —Capt. Mueller, Steamship elicia, New York City. "I have found Ayer's Cathartic Pills to be a better family medicine for com- mon use than any other pills within my knowledge.

Every trip is virtually a struggle for the valuable prize of carrying the mails, which is awarded to the vessels making the fastest av- erage time. The way itis done is this: "When rival lines go to the same port the United States mail, as it is well known, is sent by the fleetes:, vessel. This is de- termined by taking the average speed made by the vessel during her last three trips. The logs are sent to the post office, and there this average speed is deter- mined. So eager is this rivalry and so close are the rec.n•ds that oue vessel of the White Star line may carry the mail one trip and her rival of the Inman line the next. This bus happened daring the last summer. As averages are computed each trip, the dif- ferenec of a few minutes means the loss or gain of valuable freight.
