A PERFECT HORSE. —BY W. H. U. 'MURRAY. "In weight she might have turned, when well conditioned, nine hundred and fifty pounds. In color ,she was a dark chestnut, with a velvety depth and soft look about the hair indescribably rich and elegant. Many a time have I heard ladies dispute the shale and hue of her plush-like coat as they ran their white, jewelled fingers through her silken hair. Her body was round in the barrel, and perfectly symmetrical. She was wide in the haunches, without projection of „the hip bones, upon which the shorter ribs seemed to lap. High in the withers as she was, the line of her back and neck perfectly curved, while her deep, oblique shoulders and long, thick fore-arm, ridgy with swelling sin ews, suggesting the perfection of stride and power. Her knees across the pan were wide, the cannon-bone below them short and thin; the pasterns long and sloping; her hoofs round, dark, shiny, and well set on. Her inane was a shade darker than her coat, fine and thin, as a thorough-bred's always is whose blood is without taint or cross. Her ear was thin, sharply pointed, delicately curved, nearly black around the borders, and as tremulous as the leaves of an aspen. Her neck rose from the withers to the bead in perfect curvature, hard, devoid of fit, and well cut up under the chops. Her nostrils were full, very full, and thin almost as parch ment. The eyes, from which tears might fall or fire flash, were well brought out, soft as a gazelle's, almost human in their intelligence, while over the small bony head, over neck and shoulders, yea, over the whole body and clean down to the hoofs, the veins stood out as if the skin were but tissue paper against which the warm blood pressed, and which it might at any moment burst asunder. 'A perfect animal,' I said to myself, as I lay looking her over,—`an animal which might have been born from the wind and the sun shine, so cheerful and so swift she seems; an animal which a man would present as choicest gift to the woman he loved, and yet one which that woman, wife or lady-love, would give him to ride when honor and life depended on bottom and speed.' " From the"Carpet,Bagger in Pennsylvania (it is our pleasant friend J. T. Trowbridge we will borrow the following description of PRAYER. IN A OW I. MINE. It was like walking into the mountain through a huge, open barn-door. The en trance is seventeen feet in height, and nearly the Same in breadth. The miners were out in the woods, cutting props for the roof; and while one of them was running for his lamps, we examined the outcrop in the sides of the opening. The great coal-seam is twelve feet thick, but its edge is, so to speak, bevelled, the Slant corresponding with the slope of the mountain. For a distance of several paces you find nothing, immediately beneath the soil` of the surface, except the "black dirt," which grows deeper and deeper, however, as you advance, :until at length a sort of rotten coal appears at the bottom of the seam. This hardedi'gradually as you proceed, but it still has a rusty, demoralized look, and it is so loose that at a stroke from a shovel it falls splashing down into the side trench that drains the mine. It is not until you are well under the sandstone roof that coal of prime quality appears. 'LIT sight here is well calculated to excite the visitor's astonishment and admiration. Oa each side are perfect perpendicular walls of shining black coal, running parallel to each other, and disappearing in the darkness of the deep cavern. Silver streams of water drip ping from the roof, and faintly illumined by the daylight from without, add a delicate beauty to the otherwise sombre scene. The clean white sandstone root' itself also affords a beautiful relief to the prevailing blackness. The lamps came, and we advanced some two hundred feet farther, between those as tonishing. walls of coal, to the end of the spacious-gallery. We were by this time well prepared to appreCiate the pions enthusiasm of a well-known Boston clergyman (since deceased,. widely lamented) who paid a.visit; to ' these mines , last hummer. When be kiund himself in the heaiV of Ihe mountain, sun rounded by this inimensetody of coal,whiph; he wits told extended for miles on every side. he looked about him 'for some moments in speechless awe and wonder, then reverently ' took off his hat; theology bowed before geology; and he called out to the miners, in a sudden laud voice that echoed portentously through the long, dim-lighted cavern: "Praise the Lord ! get down on your knees, every one of you, and praise the Lord for His wonderful providence." This summons he delivered with such pro phetical power of lungs and spirit,that all the miners except one threw down their tools and knelt with him on the spot. "I thought first I wouldn't kneel," said the exception; "I never had knelt for any man, and I didn't believe I ever should. But he began to pray, and I be d—d if my knees didn't begin to give way under me. ' he put in, and my legs crooked and crooked, till I couldn't stand it no longer ; by George ! he prayed me down." - I thought the power of the preacher must have been somewhat to bring such rude men to their knees. Not uninteresting to contem plate is the picture of the little group bowed in worship there in the hollow mine, lighted only by the small lamps hooked on to the miners' caps, and by the serene eye of day looking in smilingly at the end of the cavern. Mr. W. D. Howells, in his happy sketchy article entitled "Doorstep Acquaintance, gives the outline of A MODEL ITALIAN BEGGAR It is scarcely possible but the reader has met the widow of Giovanni Cascamatto, a Vesuvian lunatic who has long set fire to their home on the slopes of the volcano, and perished in the flames. She was our first Italian acquaintance in Charlesbridge, pre senting herself with a little subscription-book which she sent in for inspection, with a printed certificate to the facts of her history signed with the somewhat conventionally Saxon names of William Tompkins and John Johnson. These gentlemen set forth,in terms vaguer than can be reproduced, that her object in coming to America was to get money to go back to Italy; and the whole document had so fictitious an air that it made us doubt even the nationality of the bearer; but we were put to shame by the decent joy she manifested in an Italian salutation. There was no longer a question of imposture in any body's mind; we gladly paid tribute to her poetic fiction, and she thanked us with a tranquil courtesy that placed the obligation where it belonged. As she turned to go with many eood wishes, we pressed her to have some dinner, but she answered with a compliment insurpassably flattering. She had jut dined—in another palace. The truth is, there is not a single palace on Benicia street, and our little box of pine and paper would hardly have passed for a palace on the stage, where these things are often contrived with great simplicity; but as we had made a little Italy together, she touched it with the exquisite politeness of her race, and it be came for the instant a lordly mansion, stand ing on the Chieja, or the Via Nuovissima, or the Canalazzo. - The excellent reviewer of the Atlantic thus disposes of I A MIIRA C SEM NIES You turn at first with some curiosity to see what mind a man writes from who pur sues in the temper of a knight-errant a career of freebooting unmolested by the slightest danger; but you soon weary of arson and burglary on the seas, described, every case, in as high a strain as if it involved a perilous combat and victory. When he first fired upon an American vessel, he felt a minglel joy and sadness. "The stars and stripes seemed now to look abashed in the presenc of the new banner of the South, pretty much as a burglar might be supposed to look who had been caught in the act of break ing into a gentleman's house: but then the burglar was my relative and had, erst been my friend,--how could I fail to feel some pity for him along with the indignation which his crime had excited ?" It was in this pathetic humor that Admiral Semmes did us a great deal of damage. It was his busi ness, of course, to destroy onr whale-ships and merchantmen, but it is not important to know that he nearly always felt a reluctance to do so, which he could overcome only by reflecting that our soldiers were at the same moment desolating Southern fields and burn ing Southern homes. Neither is it essential to an understanding of history that he shoula combat the newspaper attacks upon him in these pages; but he has really very little to tell that is not already known about the Sum ter and the Alabama, and a man must fill eight hundred, pages with something. The Admiral develops himself as a type of intellect with which we hiti , e been made well acquainted by the Southern press and the Southern stump, and suggests anew the doubt we have often felt whether the Southerner was not created with some important mental difference from other men. No human being, we think, except one who had his nature entirely inverted by the effort to believe right such a wrong as slavery, could argue from such premises to such conclusions as Admiral Semmes does, or, after eight hundred pages narrating the destruction of defenceless mer chantmen, could have what we may call the brazen faced innocence to complain of the unchivairousness of the Kearsarge for fighting in chain armor against his wooden vessel.

Harper's for April iB received' from Pe terson & Bros.,and from Turner Bros. & (Jo. We share with our readers a few specimen ex tracts : EARTHQUAKE EXPERIENCES ; BY E. n. SQUIBB. It hae been often asserted, and is largely be lieved, that atmospheric and other meteoric phenomena often prcynosticate the approach of earthquakes; and at is alleged that animals and men have an obscure perception and fore boding of them, manifested by a feeling of anxiety and restlessness, shuddering and THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN-PHILADELPRIA, SATURDAY, MARCH 20 1869. tremblings of the limbs. Von Tschudi, a good authority, affirms that he several times experienced this sensation while in Peru, just, before ; the occurrence of earthquakes. My own experience of several-years- in countries subjected to these phenomena; ,but which, however, is entirely of a negatirli, character, does not confirm these statements and hy— potheses. It was confined to a residence of a year on the coast, of Peru, a'nd to three rather decisive shocks. I no' not mention those slight tremors of the ground which, during the day, are seldom to be distinguished from the vibration of the ground occasioned by carriages, and are mostly appreciable at night. The first of the three to which I refer occurred November 23, 1863, at r about six o'clock in the morning, -and lasted about ten seconds. Ai, was precededby a distinct rumbling sound, continuing during the move ment, which was of the ordinary undulatory kind. The shock was felt 'along the whole coast, from Arica northward, doing little damage, however, except in the city of Truxillo. The second I experienced a few weeks later, at about two o'clock in the afternoon, while engaged in making a survey of the ruins of Amacavilca, near the village of Oho rillos, nine miles south of Lima. I had just exposed a plate in my photographic camera, and was timing the exposure, when my at tention was arrested by a sound from the southward, something like that of a heavy sea- wave striking the shore at an angle and breaking in a sustained and continuous roar. I recognized the sound, and carefully noted the time that elapsed between its first reach ing my ear and the commencement of the earth movement. It was but five seconds— a fact of value as bearing on the rapidity with which earthquake shocks are prapa gated. The movement Was not very severe, al though tufliciently great to ruin my pho tographic negative,which I preserve as proba bly the only example of photographing on earthquake. In Lima it caused some alarm, but little damage. My third and last experience was when de scending to the coast from the lofty table lands of Huancavelica, through the valley of the river Pieco, to the sea, in the succeeding month of November. We were just emerging from between the mighty walls of rock and bare lofty mountains that shut in the upper waters of that stream, and were entering on the undulating desert extending from the mountains to the sea, when we again heard the ominous sound approaching, as before, from the south. My mule pricked up her ears, and stopped on the instant. in a tremor as if smitten with sudden ague. I die mounted, and took out my watch. It was ten seconds, not counting the time this man a.uvre occupied, before the movement commenced under our feet. The shock lasted seven seconds, and was a severe one, being a combination of the undulatory and saltatory movements. It was also wide spread in its range, and in any country ex cept Peru,where man has taken almost every possible precaution against the effects of earthquakes, would have been destructive. And here I have to recount a eircumstasee interesting in itself and to science. In gazing to the southward and listening to the advanceol of the shock as it approached with constantly increasing noise, we distinctly saw the vibra tions of the mountains in that direction for four seconds before those nearest us began to bow to each other. Assuming that the move ment of the mountains could be detected bi the naked eye at a distance of two miles, we have the means of an approximate estimate of the velocity of the shock in question. It was about thirty miles a minute. LI(:ATIQIFf. AS A BETBOTIVIL —I3Y J A 'oft ABBOTT. ' A great many curious tales are related of extraordinary interpositions of the electric force in some of the most striking dramas of human life. drag° gives an account of the chief of a band of brigands being struck down in the court-yard of a prison in Bavaria. in the midst of his comrades. fie was seated on the pavement, or on a stone, being fastened by an iron chain to a fixed ring or staple, hia companions, bound in a similar manner, around him. The electric charge, controlled probably in some degree by the chain and the iron fixture to which it was attached, passed through the body of the chief and instantly killed him. .His comrades, knowing nothing of the natural laws by which this natural agency is controlled, were struck with con sternation, believing that the lightning had intelligently selected their ringleader, by the special judgment of Heaveni in retribution for his crimes. In this case, and indeed, in many such cases as this, the body of the brigand was so situated as to form part of a chain of communication well adapted for the electricity to pursue in its passage from the atmosphere to the ground. It is always dan gerous in a thunder-shower to be so situated in relation to surrounding bodies that are good conductors as to form with them a channel for the passage of the force. PLANCIFIBTTE AND ELECTRIMY. While the opinions of the philosophers in respect to the essential nature of this princi ple are so uncertain and so unsatisfactory,the notions floating in the popular mind in re spect to the most obvious laws of its action are utterly confused, not to say absurd. This is shown by the tendency so prevalent among' persons well informed on most subjects to at tribute the movements of Planchette to electricity; when the fact is, that of the numer ous and well-known phenomena manifested by this principle there are none that bear the slightest analogy, in respect to the conditions under which they arise, with those exhibited in the gyrations of this little practical j )ker. It is curious to observe the confusion of ideas which those who attribute the motions of Planchette to electricity betray in their attempts to explain the operation. At one time they will say that the oracle can gitk l / 4, no response, excepting to record what is alreadrin the mind of one of the operators: as if' electribity could take cognizance of what is passing in the human mind! Then in a few minutes they will attempt to confound the skeptic by relating a well-authenticated case of an answer revealing an occurrence taking place at the time in another town, an occurrence of which none of those present could by any possibility have known any thing: as if the electric condition of a sub - stance in one place could be affected by simple occurrences in the affairs of life many miles away! They will Bay sometimes that the two operators must be of different sexes: as if there was any known property of elec tricity that could distinguish between the sexes; and that the electricity is excited, and the flow of it determined, by the contact of the tips of the fingers with the board. As if any real and acknowledged electrical action, as verified experimentally by scientific men, could be produced without an equivalent ex penditure, either of substance or of force. They tell you finally, in answer to these real Boning°, that tne electricity which acts in Planchette is governed by different laws and manifests different properties from that known to chemists and philosophers; without con sidering that where a new principle manifests not a single one of the properties of the old, nor any property in the feast degrees analo gous to them, but on the contrary exhibits, accoiding to their ideas of it, another and new set of properties and modes of action en tirely diverse, there can be no sense or mean ing in pretending to give it the same 'name. The truth is, that there runs in the popular mind an idea that the name "Electricity." soinetimes "Magnetism " is to be given to-the latent cause of anything mystery and up-, accountable,:even if-'the mysterious' andlM- SbealiltaVenelie exist only in their imagine- , done. LIFE IN ALASKA BY A. n. GITEIiNBEY. 'One can hiardly imagine the rapidity with which suinmer comes on in this region. On the 27th of May the river was full of iee. Ten days after the voyagers had to lie by during the noonday heat. The thermometer then stood at 80 deg. in the shade. On the 9th of June the Americans parted with their Russian companions. On the 23d they reached Fort Yukon, having rowed and tracked 600 miles against a swift current. The trip had lasted twenty-nine days, out of which they had laid by only three. A few weeks later they descended the - same space, having the current with them, in seven days. They remained at Fort Yukon until the Bth of July, being most hospitably enter tained. The fort had quite a civilized look. There were freshly-plastered walls, glazed windows, and open fire-places, magazines, stores, fur-room and ice-well. Camped around the fort were quite five hundred Indians, who had come there to trade. Some wore their native costumes of skins; others were tricked out in coats and shirts of civi lized peoples. One old chief, known as "Red-Leggings," was gorgeous in a scarlet coat, with brass buttons and epaulets. The Indians were of many tribes. There were, for example, "Foolish Folks," "Wood Folks," "Birch-bark Folks," "list Folks" and "Hill Folks." The fur-room of the fort was a rare sight. From the beams hung marten skins by the thousands, while the cheaper kinds of tars were lying upon the 'floor in huge heaps. There was a fair supply of the skins of the silver-gray and black fox. The latter is by far the most valuable. There is a story that one unlucky employe of the company bought a skin of a white fox which had been cun ningly dyed black, paying for it more pounds than he should have paid shillings; the over plus was deducted from his salary. "Skins" are the currency of Fort Yukon. The unit is a beaver-skin, estimated at about half a dollar. Two martens count as one beaver,and so OD. - - The one thing which strikes the reader at once, and which confirms what is told by Richardson, Kane, Hall, and all other Arctic explorers, is the superabundance of animal life existing in these Northern regions. Strange as it may seem, tropical and semi tropical regions are almost bare of living crea tures. Strain and his party wandered for weeks through the thick forests of Central America, never seeing an animal, or rarely even a bird; and, as far as one can judge, the rivers seemed almost destitute of fish. But life abounds in the Arctic regions. The rivers swarm with fish almost begging to be caught. The Kamchatdaks have reindeer by the thou sand. Whymper and his friends,during their brief stay at Nulato, bought the skins of s(ii) white hares, whic)i were used to cover their blankets. The Indians had caught them and appropriated the meat to their own use. Moose meat, varied by beaver, is the stand ing food of those who have got tired of sal mon and such-like fish. The delicacies are a moose's nose and a beaver's tail_ CONTENTS OF THE NI:MBAR. The complete contents are as follows: The Freaks of Lightning—Jacob Abbott; with eighteen illustrations.

Every such officer, no matter on what duty he may be, can now apply to be relieved, and the commanding general of the army, or of the military' department in, which said olUcer is nerving, will relieve him, and order him to join Ibis proper regiment before consolidation, either 'white the regiment is on the way to, or in the de partment to which it Is assigned by General Orders No. 17, according as the journey will in volve least expense to the United States.

Fifth—When consolidation is completed the re cruiting service will be reorganized, and chiefly the o ff icers disabled by wounds or long service will be detailed from the roster of officers "on waiting orders." 'il"ho Provisional Government of Spain. Mr. Roberts,, the newly-accredited Minister of the ProvisionSl' Government of Spain, was of ficially presented to the President yesterday. The following is a copy of Mr.Roberts's remarks upon the occasion : Mr. President : I have the honor to premit to you the letter of credence by which his Excel lency, the President of the Provisional Govern- Snent,charged with the executive power, accredits inc as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of Spain to the Republic of the United States of America. Spain, carrying out a revolution which has de stroyed the ancient institutions, which were opposed to the development of a policy desired by the nations awaits from the national sovereignty represented by the several constitu ent Cortes the form of government which is to rule over her future destinies, and cherishes the confidence that the new order of things which is springing up will obtain the sympathies of the tailed States, and of all liberal people, as she obtained them on the reception of the news of her glorious revolution. Tbe lot falling to me to -discharge the honorable mission to this Republic, a shall endeavor, by all means within my reach, to maintain and strengthen the fnendly relations which have always existed between Spain and the United States. The President replied : Mr. Roberts: I am happy to receive you as the envoy extraordinary and minister plenipo tentiary of Spain in the United States. The re cent events in that country to which you advert have excited, and will continue to maintain, a lively interest here, hoping, as we do, that they may ultimately lead to an increase in the welfare and happiness of the people of Spain. The dis position widen you express, to exert yourself during your mission to the end that these friendly relationswhich have always existed be tween the two countries may be strengthened, shall be cordially reciprocated by me. Equal Bights in _the District al Do_ The President informed the Senate Yeiterday that he kad approved and signed the bill for the further security of equal rights in the District . of Columbia..

Wild ducks are not always considered good eating, espechdly those with gray plumage. Black-feathered ones are much better, and the illustrious cook Durand, of Nismes, pre pared salmis of them, whioh I can assure you were capital. Here is his recipe Salmi of Wild Ducks.—Roast the ducks on a spit, take them off before they are done and cut them in small pieces. While they are cooking, fry in oil or butter some pot hezbs, half a bay leaf, a chopped onion and bead of cloves; moisten with broth and a glass of white wine; add some cooked celery and stoned olives; then sprinkle with crumbs of bread. After boiling- up _once or _twice _add the hashed duck, let the whole simmer in a cor ner of the range,turn out on a dish and serve. There are some bunters who cook the ducks by a very small fire, with butter white wine, potherbs, bay leaf', cloves, salt and pepper, and serve them with butter sauce, acidulated with tarragon vinegar.
