truth is, howovor, thai~t thle projoe' is

The quagga, A Substitute for the Horse.
le Probably most of our rea(lrs know
nI, no more of the quagga than what I
a they have learned by seeing its pie
i. ture in the georgraphies or in books
s, of A fricanl travel. Many natit. i
id rolists think that Afric. was the I
a. of'iginal of the horse, and thero is vmry
in lit tle doubt that it war in Nort bern !
in Africa that the iorse was firt brouglt I
, under the subjecti.fn of wan. In C
US Africa also the giatgga is; f.ound, and
I there in like minner, it has betn do I

e lig t figure, and afisii lead and cars

e broad black hinds ; it has a pack :

, believed that the qiuagga was origin. t
ally a hybrid between the horse and

e has not interfered with its perianent a
