CHRISTIAN, ) June 13, 1867.-3t. An Esquimaux Dog Team. I have a superb turnout twelve dogs and a fine sledge. The animals arc in most excellent condition, every one of them strong and healthy, and they are very flcct..They whirl my Greenland sledge over the ice with a celerity not cal culated for weak nevres. I have not un usually ridden behind them over six mea sured miles in 28 minutes; and without stopping to blow the teams have return ed over the track in S3. Stonetag and I had a race, and I beat him by four min utes. I should like to have some of my friends of Saratoga and Point Dreere up here to show" them a new style of speed ing animals. Our racers do not require anjr blanketing alter the heats, or spong iug either. We harness them each with a single trace, and these traces are of a length to suit the fancy of the driver the longer the better, for they are not so easily tangled, the draft of the outside dogs is more direct, and, if the team comes upon thiii ice, and brakes through, your chance of escape from immersion are in proportion to their distance from you. The traces are all of the same length, hence the dogs run side by side, and when properly harnessed their heads are in a j line. My traces are so measured that tne shoulders of the dogs are just twenty feet: from the forward part of the runners. The team is guided solely bthc whip and voice. The strongest dogs are placed on the outside, and the whole team is swayed to right and left according as the whip falls to the one side or other, or as it touches the leading dogs, as it is sure to do if they do not obey the gentle hint with sufficient alacrity. Ihe voice aids the whip, but in all emergencies the whip is the only real rcliaucc. Your control over your learn is exactly in proportion to your skill in the use of it. The lash is about four feet longer than thctraces, and is tipped with a 4,cracker" of hard sinew, with which a skillful driver can draw blood if so incliued, and he can touch either of the animals on any parti cular spot that may suit his purpose. Jensen had to-day a young refractory dog in the team, aud having had his patience quite exhausted, he resolved upon extreme measures. "You sec that beast," said he, 41 takes a piece out of his car," and sure enough, crack went the whip, the hard inew wound round the tip of the car and snipped it off as nicely as with a knife. The long lash, which is but a thin, taper ing srip of raw seal skin, is swung with a whip stock only two and a half feet long. It is very light and consequently hard to haudle. The peculiar turn of the wrist necessary to gctt rolled out to its desti nation, is a most difficult undertaking. It requires long aud patient practice. 1 have perscrved, and my perseverance has becu rewarded; aud if I am obliged to turn dri ver on an emergency, I feel equal to the task ; but I fervently hope that the em ergency may not arise whichrcquircs me to exhibit my skill. It is the very hardest kind of work ' That merciless lash must be merciless or it is of no avail. The dogs arc quick to detect the least wcakucss of the driver and measure him on the instant. If not thorougly convicnccd that the soundness of their skin is quite at his mercy, they go where they please. If they see a fox crossing the ice, or come upon a bear track, or "wind" a seal, or sight a bird, away they dash over snowdrafts aud hum mock, pricking up their long bushy tails for a wild, wolfish race afier the game. If tho whiplash goes out with a fierce snap, the cars and tail dr?p and they go on about their proper business; but wee be unto you if they get the control. "I have scon my own driver sorely put to his metal, and not until he had brought a yell of pain from almost every dog in the team, did he conquer their obstinancy. They were runuing after a fox, and were taking us toward what was unsafe ice. The wind was blowing hard, and the lash was sometimes driveu back into the dri ver's face herce the drfiiculty. The, whip, however, finally brought them to reason, and in full view of the game, and within a few yards of the treacherous, ic, .1 - ;... i? ... i iiiey cjuiu ursi iuiu a limping irot anui then stopped, most unwillingly. Of coruso ' this made them very cross, and a general! fight fierce and angry now followed,' which was not quieted until tho driver, had sailed in among them and knocked: them to right and left with his hard! hickory whipstock. Dr. Hay's "Opcnl Polar Sea." ' A writer iu the New York Observer gives the following amusing and novel plan of curing a baulkly horse : "The way to cure baulky horses is to take them from the carriage and whirl them rapidly round till they are giddy. It requires two men to accomplish this, one at the horse's head, the other at his tail. Don't let him step out. Hold hint to the smallest possible circle. One dose will often cure him ; two doses generally will, and three doses is final with the worst horse that ever re fused to etir. I've seen a very baulky horse started off lively as a lark, by mere ly having the remedy talked of. Try it." Samuel Mcllose, mayor of Allentown, is the owner of a sorrel horse, now 35 years old, aud whiqh he has owned for, a period of 27 years. How Blind Beggars are Made. Some extraordinary developments about blind beggars were made a few weeks ago iu aNjsw Orleans court room. Mrs. Lar bura'Maudarrich, of that city, has a blind husband and four children, and the whole family arc profcssiCnal mendicants. The old man wears a white night cap on his head, a tin sign on his breast, and sits on Canal street, turning the crank of a hand organ, surrounded by his wretched anji importunate brood. One of his boys was enticed away from him lately by two broth er professionals ; and in the suit his wife brought to punish them for this inroad on the stock in trade, the curious facts alluded to came out. A professional beg gar, who was mixed up in the case, testi fied that nine out of ten who are led about as "blind men have eyes as good as any body's, lie said the plan adopted is this; "The impostor provides himself with a peculiar quality of blue stoue, not for sale by all dealers, and "having secured the services of some half-starved little moth- erless and fatherless boy or girl to lead . him, he clifs off a small piece of blue j with the following Bible inscription en stone, about the size of a pea, and dissolves graved in distinct characters on the out it in an ordinary glass of water. This is 'side: "Entreat me not to leave thee enough to make fifteen men blind for ; or to return from following alter thee; three or. four days. He then closes his j for whither thou goest I will go, and eyes and bathes xhe lids with the liquid. i where thou lodgest I will lodge: thy peo- ii 4--i3 as a. jiuncnui aamugcui, uuu osuj if he wanted to see, he could't until the ; film wears off. The lids are tightly clos- ed : and if they are forced open, there is i a temporary mm over .me pupn, wnica 1 M 1 I would deceive any but the skilllul occu- list." The witness said he could go through the city and pick out all the real ly blind mendicants from the blue stone rascals. After a patient consideration oks the evidence. Recorder Gastinel rendereui"t the following decision : "In this case the Court perceives no kidnapping, but clearly one of the greatest outrages ever perpetrated on the citizens of New Or leans, not only by the accused, but by the main witnesses for the prosection. These parties come clearly under the statute de fining vagracy. I therefore sentence the accused, Seraphin Yillcuiar and Hubert Smith, to six months in the workhouse in. default of giving bond in the sum of Si.000 for good behavior; I also sentence the plaintiff, Barbara Vandarrich, to the same penatly, aud the boy, Gustave Van Barrich, to the House of Refuge, in de fault of a bond of 1,000 for his good be havior." It is interesting to know that these $1,000 bonds were given by the beggars ou the spot. One of the defend ants had 83,000, on his person and a cer tificate of deposit for $12,000 more. The plaintiffs seemed in equally comfort able circumstances 'r but, no doubt, could be found to-day at their favorite haunt on Canal street, forming their usual squalid family tableau of misery aud misfortune. The Prico of a Wife. The recent trial and decision of an aris tocratic divorce case iu London illustrates how differently these matters are managed iu England and this country. The par tics, plaintiff and defendaut, were men of the highest social position, and'ofiicers in her Magisty s Oxford Blues. Captain Wcstcar took possession of the pretty wife of Major Maxwell. Major Maxwell placing, wo think, too high a valuation upon a worthless wife, sued for a divorce, and claimed damages for the wrong which he sustained to the amount of one hundred thousand dollars. The defeudant took matters coolly, telling his counsel that ''he was used to that sort of thing and did not mind it." The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, and gave fifty thousand dol lars with costs. As the income of the defendant was thirty-five thousand dollars per an u urn he trenched somewhat upon his property, paid the amount, and retains the major's wife. There were no pistols, no bowieknives, and no guns heavily charged with buckshot. A wife aud soma fifty thousand dollars changed hands, and thus it all ended. The English are a commercial and practical people very. But the price of unfaithful wives in that civilized aud favored land Is un reasonably high. Tho market 41 rules'1 higher than in New. Yor4c and Boston. Exchange I'ajier.

A young lady from the South, it seems was wooed and won by a youthful physi cian living in California. When the en gagement was made the doctor was rich, having been very successful at San Fran cisco. It had not existed six months however, when by an unfortunate invest ment he lost, his entire " help." The' event came upon him, it should be added, just as he was about to claim his bride. -What docs he do? Why, like an honor able and chivalrous young fellow as he is, he sits down and writes theyoung lady par ticulars of the unhappy turn which had taken place in his fortunes, assuring her that if the fact produced any change of feelings towards him, she was released from all the promises she had made to him. And what does she, dear good girl ? Why, she takes a lump of pure gold, which her lover had sent her in his pros perity as a keepsake, and having it man-- ufactured into a ring, forwards it to him: pie sua ii oe my people; ana tny iou ray God ; where thou diest I will die; anti there will I be buried; the Lord do so to me and more also, if auirht but death rart . .. ... . . .... me and thee." The lover idolized his sweetheart more than ever, when he re ceived this precious evidence of her devo tion to him both in storm and sunshine.. e may auu mac ionune soon again- nwled upon the young physician, and- t4it Oie subsequently returned to the North towed the' svret" girl be loved and who loved him with such an undying affection. -Young ladies 'who read the Bible, as the heroine of this incident? seems to have done, are pretty pure to make good sweethearts and better wives. Louisville Journal. A Wife tliat Crows, Th ere is in Richmond, Va., a young married woman who is very strongly af flicted with a mania for imitating the crowing of a morning cock, while in a state of somnolence. We are assured that at the hour appointed by nature for chanticleer to frighten away the midnight prowlers from yawning graveyards, the fortunate husband of the "crowing wife," on the first night of his marriage, was roused from his slumbers by a most lusty crowing. On opening his eyes, what was his astonishment to behold his better half seated in the middle of the connubial couch of conjugal bliss, flapping her wiugs and crowing in a most loud and clear voice stretching out her neck after the most approved rooster fashion! Thrice did she thus 'herald in the morn,"" and then sank back and slept oa. In the morning he srokc to her about it, and wa3 not more surprised than a muscd to learn that she had been born iu the country, and that a favorite " Shang hai," which roosted with his feathered family in the hen-coop near the window of the maternal bed chamber, frightened her mother by his loud crowing, and thus the child was 44 marked." And ever since she has been want to wake the echoes of the coming dawn by imitating; 44 ye rooster," and still, each morn she " flaps her wings and crows," The pa per which gives the above add3: Somo persons may question the truth of this remarkable incident, but we can assure them that it is true in every particular, and be vouched for .by responsible par ties who have known the lady from in fancy, and the moral of it is, that ladies who do not desire " crowing children," should not sleep too near the hcu coop.
