NUMBER 25 Hint* on the Use of Draft Horses. "If n horso cannot luv to his work, and bend his head down when he desires to do so, be sure that he is not properly harnessed." . Whenever a horse is employed for the purpose of drawing any vehicle, it is of the utmost importance that he should be able to employ all his strength to advan tage. Every one who considers at all, "must acknowledge that if a horse has to ?do his work in a cramped or confined con dition, or when ho is inconveniently placed as regards the load he cannot exert, his full power, which is so much loss to his master; or, if forced to per form a certain amount, that he is obliged to waste a great deal more of his strength (or muscular power) than is required, .to his own great pain aud injury. Tho question how to properly attach *thc horse to the vehicle is, therefore, one ?of the greatest importnuco to every mas ter who wishes to get a proper degree of work in a fair and rational manner. Yet, ?from being unacquainted with the rprinciples, few examine closely into the practice; an immense deal of horse strength is wasted every day on loads "Which, if properly uttached, might have ?been comfortably moved with far less trouble, exertion and pain. The act of pulling is performed by ileaning forward, with the weight of the "body against the resistance of the oppos ing f?;r5c, and then, by strong move ments of the limbs, keeping up and increasing the jwxmsurc; the weight of the body being -of ttre wtwnwt importance, ?s any one mn.y fry by falling at u rope passing over <*rc sh<mh?or, and standing ?upright nil the. Kirne, k will be found that, what, was before pulled with ease ?cannot now be moved at ?II. or. at any fate, only by the most sevrro and con tinued effort* of the limbs. These muscu movements, exhausting the strength, try the system violently, whereas the body-weight is easily employed without ?consuming the vital energies. From the upright position of a man's body, he is imt fitted to draw loads. ft therefore, this great difference is per ceivable with his light fraure, how great must be the waste of strength when the horse is prevented from throwing his whole weight fairly into the collar? Yet thin is constantly the case through var ious causes. First, and, unfortunately, in too many cases, the collar is quite unfit for the animal. A horse-collar is, wc are sorry to say, frequently looked upon merely as 1 a ring for tho neck, to which the traces are to be affixed; whereas there is no part of the harness which is so impor tant and which onght to fit accurately. How often is a little collar, only fit for a pony, jammed on the neck of a much larger animal, so that every pull he makes gives the feeling of strangulation, and that will, in all probability, cause some kind of fit, if long continued, be sides its liability to gall and wring the poor animal's shoulder. When this has taken place, the work cunuot be fairly performed ; and to do it all. the anguish of the poor liorso must be indescribable. Secondly, the horse is often prevented from throwing his weight into the collar by a check-rein?a useless aud painful iiioauibranco, introduced by vanity and retained by thoughtlessness amounting to cruelty. Ask horse-keepers why they use it, and hardly any one will give the passe answer* although it is generally ftupposed by them to ben great safeguard in case of stumbling. The real object with which it wsjt introduced, was to make every borne to which it was applied, however weak or old or poor, assume the lofty carriage of the thoroughbred fiorre; and the tossing of the head, the foesj of the mouth, and the restless agitation of the body (mute, but ex pressive signs of puiu and suffering) come, in a little while, net. only to be disregard ed, but even looked at with approbation. Fortunately this vitiated taste is rapidly going out of fashion as better informa tion is diffused. Few of the London pab drivers use check-reins, knowing them to be inconsistent with proper work; and when ?'?'? >-s observed it will invar iably be" found to be on some poor ani mal whoLc wearied and haggard appear ance is attempted to be disguised by this implement of torture Tbi?d)y, a great cause of unnecessary pain and labor to many horses, is a neglect in keeping the wheels properly greased. "Some persons may not bo aware," says Hieover, in his work on J?ipC& end Q:'.tdfupeds, "that thr trifling 4pk1o# u pair of wheels, beirr- com parativoly dry or well greased will cause twenty miles to take more out of a horse than forty would in the latter case; yet wheels absolutely screaming from dry ncss nro often seen, aud heard, attached to carts, and wagons, and thus would the brute in human fonu lot them scream till he reached his jouruey's end or finish ed his day's work, though his horses wore drawing from such cause at least ono ton iu four of resistance more than they would if the defect were attended to." Men who have loaded carts and driven horses all their lives, ought to kuow how s horse should be worked to his master's advantage and his own com fort; but the fact is the generality of working meu kuow little aud cure less on the subject. If this is not so, how is it thnt we frequently see tho following er ror? A disproportion between the vehicle and the animal. May not a person every where observe a fault of this kind ??a little horse staggering under the weight of a high and heavy cart, which, if the load ho in front of the axle, shows the .shafts running absolutely down-ward; or, if behind the axle, nearly lilts the un fortunate creature off his legs, placing him in a position in which it is impos sible he can exert his power at all favor ably ; and, on the other hand, hdw often is a tail horse sceu between the shafts of a low gig or cart, pulling the shafts up wards at a sharp angle ??a position just as awkward aud disadvantageous, and wasteful of animal power as that men tioned before. Fourteen Years Asleep.? Miss Susan Caroline Godsoy, the sleeping wonder, died at her mother's home, some eight miles from Hickman, Kentucky, on Wednesday, tho 14th Juky. The history of Miss Godscy is well known to the public, a statement of her wonderful coudition having been pub lished extensively by*the press of the I'nited States. At the time of her death, Miss Godscy was about twenty-six years of age, and had been asleep, as described, about fourteen years. The existence of this wonderful case of coma, or preter natural disposition to sleep, has been doubted by many, but the tuet is indis putable. Indeed, some twelve months ago, Miss Godscy was taken to Nashville and other places for exhibit it u, but we understand many even of the physicians of Nashville looked upon the case with suspicion. The history of the case is briefly : When about twelve years of age ehe was taken with a severe chill, and treated accordingly by her physician. As the fever which followed her chill subsided, she fell in a deep sleep, in which condition she has remained ever since, except at intervals. It was her custom at first to awako regularly twice in every twenty-four hours, and singu larly, within a few minutes of the same hours each day ; but of later yeurs she awoke ofteuer, so much so that many considered it an indication of her final recovery. She would remain awake five ten, or porhaps, fifteen minutes, and gradually drop off to sleep again. When asleep it was uttc.-ly impossiblo to urouse her. She never complained of any bodi ly pain, though when asleep she was very nervous at times, and appeared to suffer considerably by tho violent twitching und jcrkiug of her muscles and limbs, and her hands clenched tightly as if en during sevcro pain, but when awake she did not appear to suffer except from drowsy, gaping inclination, and persis tent effort to cleanse her throat of phlegm. She generally parsed into sleep through violent paroxysm, which would last perhaps five minutes, and she would then sleep awhile as ealinly aud quietly as an infant Miss Godscy was of medium size, and her limbs and mus cles were well proportioned and develop ed, and grew considerably after her afllie tion. Miss Go'aey, on tho day she died, in dulged in a little prophesying, which wc give as related for what it is worth. She said "the sun would be a total eclipse on the 7th of August," (this is remarkable, because parties assert that she could have had no knowledge that this was ac cording to calculation,) "and that the sun would never shine as bright after that day. This would indicate the end of the world, which was speedily ap proaching." Thirteen of the principal clothing houses of New York City having refused to p.iy an increase of 35 per cent, de manded by tho employees, the latter, numbr.riog 1500, have Stryck, by order of the Tailor's Union, Josh Hillings on the Goto. The gote is koarse woolen sheep. They have a split hoof and whole tail. They have a good appetite and a good digestion. They swaller what rticy oat, and will eat ennything they kan bito. Their moral karakters arc not pol ished ; thoy had rather steal a rotten turnip out of a garbage box than cum honestly by a peck of oats. The male gote has two horns on the ridge ov his hed, oud a mustache on his bottom lip, and is the plug ugly of the neighborhood.' A maskuline gote will fite enthing from an elephant down to hiz shadder on a ded wall. They strike from their but end, in stead of the shoulder, and arc as likely tew hit as a hammer iz a nailhed. They are a hi seasoned animal as much so as a pound ov assifidity. Thoy are faithful critters ; and will stick tew a friend az long az he lives in a shanty. They kan klime ennything but a grenst pole, and kno the wny up a rock nx natural ax a woodbine. They az certain tew rai?e at young ones?sum families are haff gotes and tho other haff children. They arc good eating when thoy are yung, but they levo it oph as they git stronger. They are alwus poor in tho body, but phat in the stumick ; what they eat scouts to aii go to appotight. Yu might az well agree tew phatt an injun rubber over shu by filling it with khim shells az tew raise enny adipozc membrane on the outside bust of a gote. A phatt gote would he a literary cu riosity.

Gotes wilt live in enny kliinate and on any vlttles, except taubark, aud if they ever cum to a square death it iz a profound sekret, in the hands ov a few, to this day. I wouldn't like to believe euny man under oath who had ever seen n masku line gote oektually die, and stay so. Speaking ov Mcthuzclcr puts me in mind of the fact, if a man should liv now-a-daze as inUeh as he did. and only have one eye tew sec things with, he would huv tew ha/ an addishun built onto the back ov his bed tew sto away things into. The female goto iz either the mother, or sister, or cutzin, ov the male gote, ac kordiug to the circumstances in the ease, or else I labor under u delusion, I forget which. They give milk intuitively about a quart, before it iz wntorcd, in twelve hours, which is the subject ov nourish ment in various ways. This milk, which is extracted from tho female gote, iz excellent tew finish up young ones on, but is apt to make them hellycosc und fightful. It iz not uncommon for a babe, while inhaling this pugnacious fluid, to let oph his left colleckshun or diggit and ketch the nurse on the pinnukloof the smeller, and tap it for claret. This a kommen fukt nmong Irish ba bies, and explains the reason whi, iu af ter life, these snmc babes make such brilliant hits. I In writing the history ov the male and female gote tew adorn the pages ov future time, I flatter myself that I have stuck tew the truth, and haven't allowed my imaginashnn tew boss the job.

About 10 o'clock Friday night in the City Perk was made the scene of one of the nost shocking tragedies that has oc curred in our city for years. The vic tim is a young girl, about 17 years of age, named Caroline Ketch urn, whose parents reside iu Algiers, but who has been employed for the last two years an a milliner's apprentice,. About eighteen months since sho made the acquaintance of a young man nani2d Salvador Car lot'e, a butcher. The acquaintance on the part of the girl ripened into affection, and under promise of marriage, as she alleges, he succeeded iu depriving her of her good fame and woman's honor. Young, inex perienced, and all bat a child, it appears that she tins clung to her seducer, des pite of outrage aud violence which his fierce and domineering disposition has frequently subjected her to. About a year since, in an outburst of passion, he struck her with a knife, and inflicted a severe and dangerous wound in her left side. She recovered from this, and, undeterred by this attack on her life kept up her evil intercourse with him. Put, ubout n month since, he an nounced to her his intention of marry ing auothcr person. ,;I will make you ashamed if you do !" replied the heart broken girl. "If you fool with me I'll lay you out!" was the savage reply. Put not withstanding his dark looks and threatening aspect, the girl djd not believe he meant her personal violence. And when he invited her Friday night to accompauy him to the City Park, she received the invitation with joy and went with him accordingly. Arriving there they proceed-" J to a secluded place, near the centre of)the Park, where the young man attempt' -d to exact from her a. promise that slig^voald not attempt to interfere~vmh his contemplated marriage. This promise she refused to give, aud al most on the instant he attacked her with the most savage ferocity. Three wounds were inflicted upon her with a keen, sharp-bluded knife, either of which will prove mortal?one over the left breast and two in the side. The girl thou grns|ied the knife with her hand and held it so tightly that the kceu blade severed one of her lingers, and begged piteously for him uot to kill her. Whether a momentary pity took pos session of him or uot, he at all events consented to spare her iu case she would swear never to tell who had stabbed her. This oath the dying girl has faithfully adhered to. Leaving her, as he sup posed, dying iu the Park, he made Iii.? way back to the eity. But the girl had strength enough left to drag herself to the street, and from thence to residence of Mr. Baker, at the head of Bienville street. To the family of this gentleman she told her condition, and a carriage was immediately supplied, iu which she was brought to the office of the Chief of Police. Dr. Ritchie was immediately sent for, und alter examining her wounds pronounced them mortal, aud directed that she be sent to the Charity Hospital. To the repeated solicitations of Cap tain Cain she refused to reveal the name of her assassin ; but iu her delirium she uttered his name. On this clue the Chief aud Officer .Marks set out to arrest the murderer. After long and patient search they found him. apparently asleep in the Dryadcs Market. The Chief at once proceeded to the residence of Re corder Beeker, and, g?tting a search warrant started for his residence. Here his clothes were found. The pints and shoes were plentifully besprinkled with blood, but his coat had just been washed by his mother. Indeed the clothes were found under her arm just as she was in the act of leaving the house, with them. Notwithstanding the thorough washing to which it had been subjected, the coat still discloses oue or two deep blood stains. At 9 o'clock last uight the reporter, in company with the Chief of Police, visit ed the wounded girl at the hospital. Site was sleeping at the time, her face flushed with fever, nnd breathing heavi ly. Her light brown hair, long aud dis heveled, lay iu thick shining masses on the pillow, where it pictured, as in a frame, a face singularly pretty. The slonder, almost fragile form, outlined be neath the thin covering, disclosed a frame ill prepared to sustain the fearful wounds sho had received. She looked as if life was slowly ebbing sway, As soon as sho awakened from hrr fit f?l slumber she asked the Chief, whom she recognised, if he had brought "htm with him," meaning Carlotte. "No," said the Chief, "but I will to morrow." "Oh, do," she said, "I want to see him. Tou won't punish him, will you ?" And the eager eyes and parted lips showed how warm at hor wounded heart dwelt the image of the ruffian stabber yet. Title End of four Orkat Mf.n.? The four conquerors who occupy the most conspicuous places in the history of the world arc Alexander, Hannibal, Cae sar and Bonaparte. ? Alexander, after having climbed the dizzy heights of his ambition, with his temples bound with chaplets dipped in the blood of millions, looked down upon n conquered world, and wept that there was uot any other to conquer, set a city on fire and died in a scene of debauch. Hannibal after having, to the aston ishment and consternation of Rome passed the Alps and haviugput to flight the armies of the mistress of the world, and stripped "three bushels of gold rings from the fingers of her slaughtered Knights," aud made the foundation quake, fled from his country, being hated by those who once exultingly united his name to that of their God. and called him Aani Baal, and died at hist by poison administered by his own hand, unlamented and unwept, in a foreign land. Cccaar. after having conquered eight huudred cities and dying his garment iu the blood of one million of his foes, after having pursued to death tho only rivul he had on earth, was miserably as sassinated by those he considered his nearest friends, and in that very place tho attainment of which hud been his greatest ambition. Bonaparte, whose mandates Kings and Copes obeyed after, haviug filled the earthwith tho terror of hi* nanie-r?atVc having deluged Kurnpe with tears and blood, and clothed the world in suck cloth?closed his days in lonely banish ment, almost literally exiled from the world, yet where he could sometimes see his country's banner waving over the de pot, but which did nut aud could not bring him aid. Thus these four great men, who seem ed to stand the representatives of all those whom the world calls great?these i four men. who each in turn made the I earth tremble at their simple trcud. seve rally died?one by intoxication, or as was supposed, by poison mingled with his wine?one a suicide?one murder by his friends?and one a lonely exile! I How wretched is the ou^fof such earthly greatness. A Marine Phenomenon.?A phe nomenon of most extraordinary nature has lately been witnessed by the inhabi tants of the borders of the Caspian sea. This huge salt lake is dotted with numc i rous islands, which produce yearly a large quantity of naptha, and it is no uncommon occurrence for fires to break out in the work and burn for many days before they can be extinguished. Early last mouth, owing to some subterraneous disturbances, enormous quantities of this inflammable substance were projected from the naptha wells, and spread over the entire surface of the water, and be coming ignited, notwithstanding every precaution, converted the winde sea into the semblance of a gigantic flaming punch howl, many thousands of square miles iu extent. The fire burnt itself out iu about forty-eight hours, leaving the surface strewed with the dead bodies of innumerable fishes. Herodotus mentions u tradition that the same phenomenon was once observed by the tribes inhabit ing the shores of the Caspian sea. Contracts with Citherns ok Kp.nr.t. STATE8.?Judge Lowell, of Massachu setts, has just made a decision of much importance in relation to tho validity of contracts with the citizens of rebel States. In 18?>2 tho b.irk Lamplighter was distroyed by the Alabama. Among her owners were four eitiaens of rebel .States. .Mr. Payne, the master, collected the insurance and paid it to the owner living in Massachusetts, holding that those liv ing in the rebel States had no title to participate. One of the four owners, who lived in South Carolina, recently brought suit ng.iinst Mr. Payne's admin istrators, nnd now recovers by the de cision of tho court. Boston is to naves new Po<t office, built of granite. Jfetebelors and Flirt?. BY .TOS II BILM NOB. Some old bachelors git after a flirt, and don't travel as fast as she dos, and then concludes all the female group are hard to ketch, and good for nothing when they are ketched. A flirt is a rough thing to overhaul unless the right dog gets after her, and then they are the easiest of all to ketch, and often make the very best of .wives. When a flirt is really in love she is as powerless as a mown daisy. Her impudence then changes into modesty, her canning into fear, her spurs into a halter, and her prunning-hook into a cradle. The best way to catch a flirt is tew travel the other way, from which she is going, or sit down on the ground and whistle ? some lively tune till the flirt comes round. Old bachelors make the flirte, and then the flirts get more than even by making the old bachelors. A majority of flirts get married finally, for they hev a great quantity of the most dainty tit-bits of woman's nature, and alwus have shrewdness to back np their sweetness. Flirts don't deal in poetry and water growel; they hcv got to hev brains, or else somebody would trade them out of their capital at the first sweep. Disappointed luv must uv course be on one side. This aint any more excuse for being an old bachelor than it is fur a man to quit all kinds of manual labor jist out uv spite, and jine a poor-house bekase ho can't lift a ton at one pop. An old bachelor will brag about his freedom to you, his relief from anxiety, his indipeudence. This is a dead beat past resurrection, for everybody knows there ain't a more anxious dupe than he is. All his dreams arc charcoal sketches of boarding-school nj||ses _ lie dresses, j greases his hair, paints nix gristly mus tache, cultivates bnnyons and corns, tew please his captains (the wiuamen.) and ouly gets laffed at fur his {>ains. I tried being an old bachelor till I wuz about twenty years old, and came near dicing a dozen times. I had more sharp pain in one year, than I hev had since, put it all iu a heap. I was in a lively fever all thj time. Execution in St. Loci*?A Hob rid GaiAjOWS Spectaci.b.?8t. louis, July 23.?William Edwards, a colored man, convicted of killing Lewis Wilson, another colored man, at a colored ball last winter, was executed in the jail yard ibis afternoon. When the trap was sprung nnd the man dropped, it was discovered that the rope was a little too long, allowing the culprit's toes to touch the ground. An awful scene then occurred. For a moment the body re mained perfectly still, after which violent1 contortions commenced, during which the man's legs and arms were swung and drawn in every direction. The rope was immediately shortened by drawing it up but the writhing of the poor wretch continued for some minutes, and it was i not until ho had struggled fearfully for thirteen minutes that he was pronounced dead. On cutting the body down, after hanging twenty-five minutes, it was found that the nock was broken. Advantage or Law.?A young man who had studied law in Conuecticut be came acquainted with the following facts, which are vory remarkable, though not so very singular: A farmer cut down a tree which stood so near the boundary line of his farm that it was doubtful whether it belonged to him or his neighbor. The neighbor, however, claimed the tree, and prosecuted the mau who cut it for damages. The case was committed from court to court.? Time was wasted, temper soured and temper lost; but the case was finally gained by the prosecutor. The last my friend knew of the transaction was, the man who "gained tho cause" came to the lawyer's office to execute a deed on bis whole farm, which ho had been com pelled to soli to pay his cost! Then, houseless and homeless, he oould thrust his hands into his pockets and triumph antly exclaim, "I've heat him !" Tho Colored Labor Convention st Baltimore, yesterday, passed resolutions that tho objections of white men to work with negroes must bo overcome. A National Negro Labor Convention is called to meet in Baltimore, in Decem ber, when Cf&tiOrtM nil/ he invoktt te\ ? i drive Chinnt labor out of the Country. His name is Lew. Benedict. Hit father wan a well-known New Yerk lawyer, who died when the oldest child was fifteen years old. The property left by the father the boy turned over to hie mother and sisters, and determined to strike out for himself. At seventeen years of age be entered a law office and at twenty-one he completed his Studies, and was pronounced a young lawyer with a bright future before him. About this time the young lawyer fell in love with the daughter of a wealthy New York merchant, and the lore being reciprocated he asked po for the daugh ter's hand. Pa was indignant, and, to forever kill the young lawyer's ambition, he told him that when he had 160,000 cash, his own, Jbe might ask for the young lady's hand, with a hope of suc cess. This was all very nice, hut to the young lawyer just putting ap his shingle $60,000 was a great deal of money, at least the young lawyer thought so as he figured up how many briefs he must have to make that amount. The result of his deliberations was the conclusion that if he wanted to make this sum at the bar, he could do so, but by the time he had done it, he would ha so old that the romance of love would be all gone. For a long ten days the young lawyer bemoaned his fate, and then, af ter obtaining a promise from the young lady that she would wait, he disappeared from New York. In early life tho yoautg lawyer had quick wit, and one day meet ing a negro minstrel manager named Duprcs, the latter told him he had a talent which would make him $50,000 in five years. In the young lawyer's frame of mind it did not take iong to convince him, and, dropping Coke and Bhickstonc, he took to burnt cork ander the assumed name of Lew. Benedict. For a time the new business was har -dcLtban the yonag Uwyer Urgajoed for^ but he made a oney so fast that his pre judice was soon overcome. At the end* of the first year be had laid ap five thous and dollars, at the end of the second year ten thousand, and now it is said that be has nearly reached his figures of fifty thousand dollars in bonds. All the time he has been in the burnt, cork trade he hss improved his spare moments by a study of law books, and in another year he will go back to New York with fifty thousand dollars in his pocket, claim the hand of her he so fondly loves, snd who has been so devo ted to him, snd at the same time again embark in the practice of law.?Xatiamei I Chronicle.
