I.. The Windmile of Rhode IWand. g Ode of the many pleasing object* pre souting themselves to the eye in thi numerous line drives from Newport t4 the other two towns-Miduetown t4 Portsmouth on tile same islaud, are th old-fashioned windmills. They maj truly be called old-fashioned, nut oulj ton account of the antiquity of tia tiethod of ga inding grain, but also be cause of the veneraule age of the strue ures themselves. Atust prominen tmong these is the Old Stone Auli iulilt, two hundred years ago by Gover nor Arnold, which has so absurdi teen made to do duty as a relic of thi tegendary visit of the Northmen t4 .Newport. Tie Governor mentien ilis btructure In a deed of land adjoin ing its site, and lie evidently built i at ter the model which he had seeni nea, his own birthplace In England, whiel is still in active working order. Doubt less many a grist mus, in years gon by, ground within this roofless relic 'The lack of running streams, tidal o otherwise, on the island, compelle( the Ilrit English occupants of it to hav recourse to this method of manufactur ing their breadstui's. It offers a prett: fairly balanced comparison of facilitle and costs with the use of water power There are eight of these windmills oi the island besides Arivold's, seven o them doing active duty - when the ele ments are favorable to their operation the view of them lit motion Is ver, agreeable, though horses are very ap to be frightened by the sight of thei expanded wings. The one neal est t, Newport is on the edge of Middletown to the west of Paradise road. This wa: built and originally set up at Tivertot more than a hundred and twenty-fivi years ago. Its substantial oaken tin hers, which of course, have been oftei recovered, are as hard as fron. Such i structure needs to be very strnig, oi else the wracking which a stiff wit gave to its sails would soon tear it t< pieces. Tihe main timbers and erosi timbers are firmly stayed, soas to allov nothing more than that apparent work Ing which Is felt onl itid-oceani In th best built wooden, or even Iron ships The nether millstone is set about eigh feet from the floor, so thoroughly sC Cured as not to be started In its posi tion. A windliass arrangement, drii up a supply of corn to feed the hopper and flights of steps go to tile top ti facilitate the oiling of the machiner3 and the regulation of the movement Another external wheel sets the salL or fa1ns to the wind, the sails being ex panded or drawn in by lope gearing The horizontal revolving shaft Is con neeted -with a perpendltiulur one, t( which Is firm'ly attached the uppe millstone. Of course the power am capaitety of thel mill for work depeln< upon the force of the wind. If th is bc tempestuous and gusty, it is not safi to allow lEs operation. A force of al least tell or twelve iorse-power is re,. quisite for grinding h1ard 1111111ian cor1 into line ieal, but feed nay he mantni. fiaetured with soiewiat less force, Twenty-fIve bushels of, fine mIeal Is y fair product of the mill for one day.

The Bastil. The Bastile of Paris, did not actually becotie notorious as a State prison until the reign of Louis X 1II,, al though high personages were cotidned In It from time to time almost from its first existence-in fact, if tradition is i to be believed, the very noble who - built it by the King's command was the first one to pine away In its deep recess t es. A lettre (o cachet from the King was all that was required to bring any oue - there, and once their it was no easy matter to get out, for nothing but an , other order from the Kieg would have t > the least effet-it being to the interest s of the Governor to have as many pri soners at possible, as lie was allowed so Smuch oper head, and the scale of prices was very liberal-so much so that the a post was lookea upon as a very fat - berth for any one who had no objection to doing dirty work. -Not only men but women and children found their 1 way into the Bastile, so that there was I often a lack of -accommodations. The 3 cells were all in the high round towers, - where a hcavy iron grating and a pecu liar construction of the windows pre- i s vented more than a modicum of the I daylight from entering. The dungeons were slightly beneath the level of the f moat, and a narvow opening into the ditch was all the provision for fresh I air and lIght. The foul odors, which were all that the prisonef in one of t those could get as a substitute for fresh air, soon broke down his health, and unless lie was of a very robust consti tution lie did not live long. The build I ng had accommodation for fifty State prisoners, but when its doors were opened on the memorable 14th of July, 1 1871) only seven were found; among then being a man who had been a iprisoner thirty years, and who had be came so weakened in his intellect dur that time that lie begged piteously to be allowed to remain-lic was so used to the gloom and silence. Another had been imprisoned wlieni a boy of eleven, and though he was now long past man's estate, neither lie nor anybody seemed I to know why he was there. On theI wall were the records of others who had passed long hi hetiml1es in those cells, either for some renai or Iimiginiry tri vial offence. The Itastle was theni to (lie people of France a synlonym of all that was despotic, cruel and contemp tible in the government, and for this reason it wits razed to the groun'i, and conisequently, no doubt, the Third ' Ite public was selected thIi anniversary of that deedi f'or special hionor.

FARM AND GARDEN.' 7uESADDLE VERSUS THY. BuGOy.--The Menory of' man extendeth to tMe day when the boys on-tite farm were proud o ride a flue young horse to churcb or A see the girls. They took pride in the solts and taught them to.move freely under the saddle and above all, when ;he colt was broken he was taught to walk. Now the boys must have a fine )uggy and harness, and the colt must how his style, and speed-, al- the time. [l'e boy is In too great a hurry to allow he colt to walk. The colt, buggy and ioy are soon a used-up set by fast driv n1 . The whole business of buggy id1ing bf farmers' boys Is expensive, xtravagant and deeoralizina. Not ne farmer in tou can afford such a urnout for the lad. Many of them )uy a buggy and let it stand in the sun md storm. They are too poor to have i housefor vehicles. Seate men oannot Sford tite luxury of a buggy. If we ould return to the fashion of riding on horseback we would save millions to he farmers, and the boys and girls would develop better forms and Lave >etter health. Any lazy lout can ride n a buggy, but to be a graceful rider mn horseback one must have some ener ;y and get up In his nature. There is ife and health in riding on horseback. 'he whole system feels the Invigora ,ing effect of it. The rider and the torse catch the fire of sympathy and ixeltement In the run or fast paces, md every nerve and muscle of the body s brought into healthful invigorating )lay. The mania for trotting horses las been felt on every farm in the land. L'he country is full of road horses that ome man or boy loves to pull the string in. They are usually poor saddlers, low walkers, and rough. We need a eform. The place to begin is ia breed ng a class of horses of good size, style aid action, that can move freely in nore than one -gait. The English narket is open for sueh horsets. The veil-knit horse of good style and ac ion, suitable for a hunter or a carriage, vill bring better prices than our aver ige horse. The farmer will find it to its interest to raise a class of colts that lhe boys will like to ride. He can atse three or four fine saddle colts for vhat .ne buggy and harness will cost and a fair saddle horse will bring more han the average roadster. Set Back 42 Years.
