THAT SPEODLATION.
11V JOHX iUILL.
1 nocoiiT him of Johnson, tho lior.-e-iloi'lor,
niul hesalil ho was ilaiumcd by
rioia Tcnijilo, 1iim1 by Illni'k llmvk,
ami ilcMreil by nil Iho liorso Jockeys in
tho State. I wlihotl tltoy had got him.
J lu was fourteen anil a half hands
high anil one linger over, ills eolor
wa a dun, and his imivhaser was about
in that condition alio.
Ho was slightly sprung in tho knees,
and his tall had oneo boon out, no Uint
It stood right on end, nud looked
moro llko a bunch of straw nailed on
lo tho end of a log than anything el.-e.
II lit he wiiirnthcrn tlne-Iooklng horse,
and the man warranted him kind,
lint it was a jioor kind, I afterwards
found.
llosaid he could mako his mile in
bido of i;..'t"i without an ell'ort. It was
two hours and thirty-live minutes ho
mount, unless ho intended to deceive
me. Hut ho could mako a milo lnldu
of that timo if he exerted himself nnd
didn't get one of Ills fits on him.
He was a peculiar liorte, and wus
subject ton variety of complaint that
would hnvo killed an ordinary animal ;
but ho seemed lo Maud them well
iiough.
Tho llibt night 1 had him, 1 put him
lu the stablo and gnvo him feed. Tho
next morning my wlfo remarked t lint
s.ho didn't sleep n pnrtlclo on account of
onio locomotivo or otlier out on tho
ruilrond, Hint wns pulling and blowing
all night, trying to mako headway. I
heard It, too, and it struck mo ns queer
Hint the engine couldn't get past Hint
place.
I went out to see about it. It wasn't
i locomotive, 11 was my hor.-e. Ho was
breathing and sighing unlike any otli
er hor-o I ever heard before, anil I was
alarmed nbotit him, 1 wns afraid it
would blow tho whole end of tho stable
nut. I unhitched him nud took him
around to Johnson.
lohnson seemed surprised, but said lie
only bud n slight nttack of tho heaves.
"All horses most lias it. It'll p.v.s olf
.-aid ho ; so I drove him honioand creat
ed an impression in the town that tho
wind wns freshening for a hurricane.
Vbottt half wuy up the mnln btieet ho
camo to n dead halt ; I clicked my
tonguo fur lilui to go on. Ho never
budged. 1 touched him with tho whip
1 lo begun bucking, and backed tho bug
gy right upon tho pavement and through
a plato glass window, worth am do!
lars.
Then ho started down tho street like
lightning, and ran over two boys.breali
lug their legs und crippling them for
life. I won't mention tho expen-jo I
wai to, ns yoogvouldu't believe mo If I
was to give tuo ugtires.
I wns so busy attending court for two
wicks that I hadn't n chance to usohlin;
at tho end of Hint timet his. lower Jaw
had swollen up until ynu cottlilii't tell
whether ho hnil got his head on upsldo
down or not. Bo I drove him over
to Johnson to seo what was the matter
with him.
Johsou seemed lo feel hurt that the
uiilmal should behnvo so, IJut ho said
it wns only a Ilttlu touch of the glau
tiers. "It don't hurl n boss ii hit to
hnve'eni now nnd then, itdoes'emgooilj
but it'll pns off," mud Johiinou,
So I wns moro hopeful, nud drove
home ngnlu without any serious tied
dent, except that Hie horso shied nt it
chicken in tho rond, and took the wheel
oil' by running thobuggy intotliu fence
SHU 1 didn't blame him muclr, for Mr,
.lohnson (old mo Hint "It wns good for
a boss to lio timid ; It's a sign of pure
blood."
Tho glniideis dld't tilled hlsnppetllo
any. Ho nto moro oats, aud hay than
would hnvo run an ordinary llvcry-stn
ble, nnd not satlsllcd with that, ho
chewed tho feed box nil up, and tiled to
gnaw down n yellow plno partition.
Johnson said it was "a good thing for
a boss to bo n heavy feeder."
1 nover owned a horso before, nnd I
was n llttlo set up about It. So 1 thought
I would drive my wife nnd family In
town to church tho following Sunday
1 le wont nlonge all right until heenme In
front of Ferguson's house. Mr, Fergu
son Is Jenlous of my having a horse, und
our girls don't speak to tho Ferguson
girls, becnti'o they said they were
"stuck up" about our horse.
When this nulinnl nrrlvcd there ho
suddenly begnti to slugger from nldo to
sldo nnd boll nroiind llko a drunken
man, butting Ids hend Into tree boxes
nud one tiling or another llko some old
ram. At last ho fell over tho bank nt
tho side of Iho road, turned three orj
four somersaults, dragged tho carrlngo
uffcrhim, and then lay stretched out
there apparently as dead ns nny dum
my. Tho women had on their best clothes,
nnd they were completely spollcd.whlle
iUiguslii sprained her wrist 60 Hint she
couldn't do iv stitch of work for n
month. And tho wliolo Ferguson fami
ly stood nt tho window nnd smiled.
I walked two miles to get Johnson to
come and look nt tho horse, llo enine
nlong nnd appeared as If ho was pro
voked nt the horso for his conduct. Then
he stooped down and stuck n knifo Into
his neck and let out n barrel or two of
blood, and the horse gradually got
bolter.
"It's nothing but an attack of blind
staggers," said Mr. Johnson. "Kvcry
boss has got to have It. It's Just llko
tho measles In children. It'll pass olf,
and ho'll bo better for it."
Wo got him home by easy stages to
tho stnble, and there ho stnld for thieo
weeks, until ho seemed better, except
that lie. still had a touch of tho heaves
and the distemper.
Shortly afterwards I had to drive over
to Delewaro City to seo a man, and I
gnvo Mr. Johnson ten dollnrs to go
with me, In caso tho horse camo to
pieces on the road, or anything of aso
rlous nattiro happened.
Wu started nt daybreak, nnd hud pro
gressed about a milo and a half by din
ner time, when the liorse suddenly stop
ped short, nud would not budgo nil
Inch.
I suggested Hint perhaps tho barbed
steed bad forgotten something nnd
wanted to go buck. Mr. Johnson said,
"Xo, It was only ouo of his llttlo tricks.
Most every horso has soma eccentricity
or other. Just let him alniio for a min
ute and ho'll get over it."
We waited three-quarters of an hour.
Then Johnson got out anil undertook
to pat him on tho neck, aud the horse
got frightened nnd kicked until he got
onuleg through the dashernnd couldn't
get It out.
i asked Mr. Johnson what he thought
wo had better do now. Hostiid "It was
nil right. All really comlliutiwHUlckwu
lie wouldn't give n cent for nn nnlninl
lhaUiiulii't pluck enough to kick. It
was u sign Hint he felt his oats."
So wo loosed his leg and got In, and
before wo had timo to' pick up tho lines
he gave a Jerk nud stnrted down tho
rond nt lightning speed lightning for
him, Hint is say about four miles nil
hour, inn the buggy into a ditch, nud
then tried tojiiinpovern fence, hut fail
ed miserably, und got another blind
.slugger on hlni.anil laid there until nine
o'clock that night.
1 didn't get to see that man nt Dela
ware City, and, In fact, haven't seen
him yet. Johnson said it was a good
thing anyhow, for they had the fever
down thoriyuul I ought (o consider it a
providential thing that the hor.-e wns
taken Jiiit as he was. if wo hud gouo
to Delaware City we might both hnvo
been dead men,
It is singular how Johnson always
looks on the bright side of things when
Hint hoi.-e Is concerned.
Then I thought that perhaps after all
I hail better sell tho hor.-e, he wns so
much trouble, so 1 nil vert Ned him. The
man who came to buy him wus not so
hopeful ns Jolin-on. lie snld the horso
wus spavined, foundered, and distem
pered, llo had the gliindiTs.uud heavw,
nnd blind stnirgeis, and hots, and ring
bone, and a number or other infirmities,
Hint 1 don't care to mention. He said
the horse was too hard lu the mouth,
"And 1 don't llku to pull too hard on
n horse, you know," snld he, "for I
know ii man who split u liorse in half
jerking at Mm."
So I told this man 1 wasn't much at
driving u bargain, but still if ho would
tako the horso oil' my hands fur any rea.
souablii sum ho might have Mm. Id
said he wouldn't assume the risk of
driving him for les than ten dollars.
So I gave lilm that Mini, and he took
him away, Hut ho hadn't gonu moro
than half u mile before tho hoisegot nn
other blind stagger on him, und laid
down, and gaped, and stretched bis
legs out and tlien died, und broke for
horso heaven fur all I know.
Mr. Johnson was culled in, hut ho
couldn't do nny tiling for Mm. He only
ild lie considered It n good thing, "for
tho liorse, you know, must have stiller
cd il good deal, and now he's out of his
misery, nud us you're n klud-hcarteil
man. (Juill, you ought to bu glad." ho
I was, but didn't feel exultant when
Johnson handed In a bill of one lain
died dollars for ijroiojtslonal services, It
didn't seem fjir wit i novel' nan any
luck wltliTiofseti, anyhow, nnd I don't
earu to speculate ngiiln. A. r Cbw'V)

reality tho "twin beauties" generally
look llko a pair of badly worked but
ton holes, for fresh bnhles seldom In
cline to open their "peepers" wide
enough to let nny ono seo whether they
nro green or yellow. All babies look
n'lkc to most men, though woman have
a peculiar talent for distinguishing be
tween them. Babies are generally sup
posed to resemble either of the parents,
though I must conscientiously say that
I never eottid seo any great likeness to
either one in Hie little pursed up phiz
presented for Inspection. The common
expression of countenance would Indi
cate that "baby" had been sucking n
largo size pickle, nnd didn't like It

When tho first Infant comes, Its "pa"
has to take n back seat. Tho newly in

A terrible torrent of tears comes In at
this point, and Charles William, the

In tact, thero Is no denying, that
the Ilrst baby walks Into the nll'ec

The Odd Fellows.
Tim annual session of Hie Grand
Lodge of Pennsylvania closed last
week, nflcr a very pleasant and agreea
ble, session, which will remain fresh In
the memory of tho representatives nnd
members who attended tho ame. Re
ports, resolutions, appropriations nnd
business of a miscellaneous character,
was transacted.
Tho marked and distinguished atten
tion of tho Brotherhood In Pittsburg,
and in fact Allegheny county, is ac
knowledged by nil tho Grand Ofilcers
nnd members of tho Grand Lodge, who
have shown their appreciation of the
hospitality extended In various ways.
Tho inlluenco which the session In our
midst and tho deportment of tho visi
tors from abroad, will exert In tills por
tion of the great jurisdiction of Penn
sylvania will bo Incalculable, nd will
have Its few fiscal effects upon tho city
and Its surroundings for periods yet to
come.
The reports of tho Order exhibit a
success unparalleled in ltshlstory, there
being no less than slxty-slx thousand
members in this State, while there arc
two bin id red thousand In tho United
States. To thesocau now bo added tho
lodges In the Camillas and tho Sand
wich Islands. Recent information
from Australia bus demonstrated tho
fact that the largo Brotherhood without
remote regions numbering some five
thousand members, dosiro to afiiliato
nnd be admitted under the Grand
Lodge of tho United States.
Wo doubt not that tho day Is not far
distant when tho entlro earth shall ex
perience the Influence of tho sound doc
trlno and pure principles of Odd Fel
lowship, ns commanded by tlio kind
und genial Instruction contained lu Its
many lessons of Friendship, Lovo and
Truth. JJispatch,

graph rejoices Hint short skirts nre com
ing Into fashion. What can bo a more
dlstnstuful sight than to behold our In
dies performing tho part of dust-carts
on the public ways, and chronicling
their promenade by a scries of parabol
ic curves upon tlio dirt of the pave
ments? It is not a subject of minute
inquiry; one can only conjecture what
lias been the result to feet and ankles,
and the drapery beneath thoso sweep
ing skirls, from so strange u defiance of
cleanliness nud comfort. Fortunately,
this very misplaced fashion seems to
have been prohibited nt Inst by tho in
visible urbltress; and men are no lon
ger tripped up abroad, nor to trace the
sinuous lines upon the tilth of the cause
way, where costly satin or delicate
silks have "dragged their slow length
nlong."
Short dresses nre again thu mode for
walking, which is sensible and pretty j
nnd thus n return Is secured to reason
health, and propriety. As to Hie futuie
of dresses in tho druwiug-room und
ball-room, although the train may be
praised, yet on tbo whole, there will be
rejoicing at its promised disappearance.
It was a royal conception, but It was
made for royalty alone; it wit designed
for palaces anil greut pnlntlal halls.
What befalls It in smaller und crowded
saloons reduces Its sublimity to Hie ri
diculous, and turns its significance into
trouble. Abroad, tlio gallant dancer is
requested to carry tho sacred append
age on his arm, where it is sometimes
creased nnd tumbled, to the Indignation
of tho owner. If the courtly garment
l displayed out of doom in a walls the
result Is still more serious. A'. '.

Harmon;Kdgnr of Mnrtencz, exhib
ited to us last evening n common barn
yard rooster which has no head, and yet
It isallveand hearty, relishing his food
and sleeping nt night ns well ns the
mo-t perfect of ids nice. About tw
weeks since, Hie cook nt Sturgis' Hotel,
at Murtenez, chopped off the heads of
two chickens, threw Ihem into the
woodshed and left them. Soon after bu
sent a man to pick them, nud only one
wns found dead, tho other having re
covered from his fright, was walking
around the yard, On examination, It
was found that the hatchet had cut
clear through the bend, Just where it
Joins the neck, Ii living no trace of the
eyes, auricular orifices, bill or tongue,
nnd leaving him, in fuct, no head nt
nil, although It is possible Hint the least
possible amount of the bruin Is lelt.
F.dgtir took the headless chicken, lubri
cated Hie stub ol Us neck with swiet
oil occasionally, und fed It with a spoon
and it Is now us well nnd healthy ns
any rooster In tho world, to all appear
ances, though unable to see, henr or
taste anything. The toed is Introduced
with n spoon directly' Into thu throat,
and it Is perfectly digested by tho bird
The headless eieature will rulso Itsback
