And we are once more back in the harness
and at work. But we have returned with
renewed strength and vigor. It seems to
us as if each succeésive year added sweet-
ness to our calling. If to be happy is to be
useful, then the path of duty is the road to
happiness, as well as the way of safety.
We owe something to N orwalk, where by
the blessing of God we were permitted to
pass so many pleasant weeks. Kind friends,
begliful scenes, and glad hearts‘ gathered
at nd us on every side. These things are
not written on the sand Of the sea shore,

treasures will be the pleasant memories of
friends, and our fellowship with them. This
life, in its highest, brightest features, is to be
all retouched again.
But let us again to the present. In my
former article I said N orwalk needed a large
and convenient hotel. I have since learned
that Mayor Ely had anticipated me, and
had already begun to‘ make his plans for

against, or to propel the load.-—so does the
permitted.
If the man’s head were tied to a. belt
around his body so that he could not bend
forward, he would lose the advantage of his
weight, and could only pull or push with
his muscles,—so also with the ox or horse.
If the man's head were thus kept in a per-
pendicular position. he could not so reudil y
see where to step, and would be more apt
to stumble,-so also with the ox or horse.
No one in the saddle would thus tie up
the bend of his horse, and no one would ex-
pect a horse thus tied up to .win a race.
Nor would any one think it an advantage to
put cheek-reins on oxen. ,
The London Horse-book says :—
“Thc horse if Often prevented from throw-
ing his weight into the collar by a light
cheek-reia,—u useless and painful incum-
brance, introduced by vanity, and retained
by illoughllessness amounting to cruelly.
Few of the London cub-drivers use check-
reins, knowing them to be inconsistent with
proper work; and, when one is observed. it
will invariably be found to be on some poor
animal,whosc wearied, haggard appearance
is attempted to be disguised by this iulple-
meni of torture. . .
The check-rein is, in nearly every case
painful to lbc animal, and useless to the
driver. Because it fastens the head in an
unnatural posture; and as the horse's
shoulder and head fall together, cannot be
of any real support in case of stumbling.
When, from some defect in the animal, Or
other cause, the check-rein is used, it must.
be slackened. Because, in aidilipn to the
easier position of the neck, a greater portion
of weight can be thrown into the collar,
especially going up hill, thus saving a great
and unnecessary expenditure of muscular
power. ‘
There is an important difference between
a tight cheek-rein and a tightened rein', al-
though not generally understood. The first,
is injurious, and cannot help the horse
while the latter is Often useful. Because
the latter is a steady support to the animal’s
head, from a distinct and intelligent source
—ihe driver; whereas, the former is only
the horse’sth fastened to his own shoul-
ders. That the check-rein is inconsistent
with the action of the horse’s heud,’ is
clearly shown by the fact, that when a horse
fails it is always broken.” ' ' ‘
From the letters of an American gentle-
man iravelling in Europe in 1869 and 70.
and which have been widely read in this
country, I take the following, giving the
places of date :-- ' '

Corrupling Literature—All decent people,
says the Advance, ought to refuse to buy any
of Frank Leslie’s pictorial papers when they
know that he is the publisher or the Day‘s
Doings, one of the most corrupting sheets
now published. Its circulation has been
suppressed in England under tbclaw against
obscene publications, and it should also be
suppressed in this country, and would be, if
the laws were fuithfhlly enforced.

own fortunes by counting their money.
rally understood, numbers of excellent
persons who now drive their favorites with
check-reins would discontinue to do so.
Dr. KrTcmNG, of York, another eminent
English writer on the subject, says :—
First. If a horse pulling a load has his
head held in by a check-rein, he cannot
threw his weight into his collar, and is big.
dered from giving his body that position
which is the most natural and effective. He
has to poll by the strength of his muscles
only ; the weight of his body is lest, and so
much pulling strength thrown away. What
remains is exerted at a great expenditure of
horse’s powers and health, to say nothing of
his comfort. The consequence is, that his
limbs and muscles become strained and
distorted. His knees are bowed forward
and his bo‘eks‘buekward. Ifa man pulls a
load by a strap across his shoulders, he
heads his head and chest forward, and
relieves his legs; a horse does the same when
he can, and ought always. -
Second. It injures the horse not only in
the way described, but the confinement of
the head in a constrained position, whilst
the heart and lungs are excited by work,
hinders the breathing and the circulation of
the blood in the head. These effects make
the horse uncomfortable. and he becomes
restless and irritable; in fact, his'head aches
and pains him, and he gels many a violent
jag and blow just because his driver cannot
understand the cause ’of his restlessness.
I have seen many horses standing at public-
house doors and other places in this uneasy
state, and by-and-by set off in their desire to
get home and be unharnessed, when the
driver has rushed out and punished the
horse 'for his own error. '
Third. The checkorein inflicts uncensing
torture upon the animal in another way.
By holding the bead upwards it puts the
muscles of the neck on a constant slmin.
They become painfully uneasy and fired.
It the horse cannot hear it, he rests the
weight of his head~upon the rein, and his
mouth is, violently stretched. Thus he
only exchanges one torment for another. I
am not making fancy sketches; every word
of my description is true. I have seen
many splendid and valuable horses, worthy
of a better fate, tossing their heads inces-
santly, and chomping their moutbsinioa
foam from the intolerable uneasiness of this
cruel check-rein. To sum up in a word ; the
check-rein lessens the horse’s strength,
brings on disease, keeps him in pain, frets;
and injures hislmouih, and spoils his lem-
per.
Royal Engineers (London), says :—
“I think nothing can be more absurd
.than check-reins. They are against reason
false position. The horse stands wivh a
check-rein exactly as a man would stand
with a slick under his arms behind his back
when told to write. II is extremely cruel
also. I have no doubt, if the public could
only realize the fact that it throws away a
large portion ofibe horse's power altogether,
and is very cruel besides, this ‘rr-iu would be
disconfinued. It is not only the head, that
suffers, but from his head to his tall, from
his shoulder to his hoof, and over his whole
body. he suffers more or less."

check-rein—(l) upon the circulation of the
blood; (2) upon the veins; (3) upon the arte-
rice.
1. Its effects upon the circulation of the
blood—It will appear very evident that
this conirivance must seriously interfere
with the return of blood from the brain, and
thus lead to an accumulation of venous
blood, producing eventually a state of coma,
the severity of which will depend upon the
duration and iniensliy Of the compression;
aerial blood to the brain. This deficiency
of aerial blood is characterized by a want
of nervous sensation, and a disarrangement
of the nervous parts.
_2. Its efi'ects upon the veins—The sudden,
intermittent, and violent muscular aclion of
the neck together with pressure of the lower
jaw. would induce more or less permanent
distention of the veins, which in. all webs
biliiy would ultimately become varicose.
3. Its effects upon the arteries—The
pressure of the blood within the vessels, and
the unnatural muscular contraction of the
neck, would lead to laceration of their
inner coats, resulting in enlargement of the
vessel,.ahd thus form uncut-isms.
The consequences'of the above conditions
would lead to increased pressure upon the
nerves of the neck, causing pain to the ani-
mal; and, further, it would predispose the
unfortunate victim of fashion to such dis-
eases cs megrims, apoplexy, coma inflame.-
tion, and softening of the brain."
'Ilon. Crus. L FLINT, Seerelnry of the
Massachusetts Board of Agriculture, in an
address delivered at Boston Music Hall,
March, 1839, says :—
“There is another point on which I
should like to make a single remark: I al-
lude to the prevailing use of the check-rein
upon our draft and team horses. * * * if a
man has a hard day’s work to do, it he
wants to exert his muscles and 'sinews,he
must have those muscles free and uncon-
fined; uobody who has tried it can deny
that, and yet how does it happen that a prin-
ciple that every farmer, every mechanic,
every laboring man of any character would
admit in his own case, is so constantly disre-
garded in the case of the hard-working and
often ill-used horse? And yet you see it.
I have many times seen a team overload-
ed with coal tugging up yonder Beacon Hill,
straining every nerve, often plied with the
lush and sometimes with the toe of a cow-
hide boot, while the 'power Of the loo-will-
senselcss check-rein. Some of you may
have read a little work called ‘Bubbles by
11 Old Man,’ by Sir Francis Head, 9. disfin-
uisbed soldier who had galloped across the
ampas of South America, and.seen those
set droves of untamed horses in their
n
which the horse exerts his strength to the
greatest advantage. In that little work he 0
contrasts the practices of difierent nations
in regard to the check-rein, and points out

down so as to give the force of his weight
into what he is called upon to do. He shows
that nature never intended a large and
heavy animal like a draft horse to perform
his slow work only, or chiefly, by’ibe strain
of the muscle; but, on, the other hand, by
the power of weight as the rule, assisted by
the strength of the muscle, as the exception
when extra resistance is to be overcome.
every day.
And what is the use ofa check-rein on a
draft or a team horse, anyhow? There may
be a necessity for it in some young, unbrok-
en, or ill-tempered animals; but these are
the exceptions. On most of our heavy
teams horses it can rarely be justified. If
it be said to prevent them from falling,- it
maybe said in reply, it has quite as oflen
prevented an old' horse from recovering
from a stumble. It is to be hoped that horse
Owners will look at this matter in its true

RAILROAD st.——Twentg~two men and a
Lawyer assert their Right: on a Tram—A
gentleman from the West, who arrived in
this city yesterday, tells of an incident
which happened this week on a New York
Central train, which may furnish a hint to
travelers hereubouls.‘ Among the passen-
gers who got on the train at Ulica, New
York, were twenty-three men who were un-
able to find a seat. Among them was a
lawyer who proposed to the rest that all de-
cline to give up their tickets until they were
furnished seats. The agreement was made,
and when the conductor came around he
found twenty-three gentlemalily but very
obstinate men, who refhsed to give him
either tickets or money unless he would
show them a place to Sit.
The conductor replied that there were
plenty of vacant seals in the next car; but
on inquiry it was ascertained that this was
a drawing-room car, for which extra charge
was made. SO the twenty-three declined to
budge, and matters remained in [his unset-
tled condilion until the cars had gone along
'(l'lsiunce. The conductor fins-11y induced
two dozen persons who had seats to go into
the drawing-room car, without extra charge,
then made a place for the obstinate. twenty-
three. who then gave up their tickets as
they said they would do. Undoubtedly
they had the right of it, as the courts have
repeatedly decided that a passenger is jusii'
fied in refusing payment of fare until the
railroad company gives him proper accom~
diition s.-—Sprz'ngfielrl Republican.

Good Testimony for Grant.
GOVERNOR anomoimr mars.
It is fortunate that there is better evidence
concerning the personal habits of President
Grunt than that Of the slanderer, the “Rev.”
C. W. Dennison. Senator Buckingham in
a regent speech at Siamerd Saidl- ’
“ ' deal has been said about the hab'ts of
President Grant. It will not be ibl‘e for
me to prove negative, therefore can’t say ’
I can t prove that the President has never:
been under the influence of intoxicating
drinks, but I Will say this, that Ihave seen
him {ind been with him on various ocmsions
public and private, at his house and mine:
and} have'known something of his habits
of life. I was With him. on the fourth of
Jul two years ago. Enierlained h'm at In
Eire. 1 went with him to the City of New;
den and there we sat at the ublic table
where there was wine. I don’t pknow that
he drank a drop; if he had drank anything
of any consequence I should have kuoWn it. '
After dinner he was suffering very severely
with a headache, and it was difficult for
him to meet his friends; and yet he stood
for-over an hour to receive their congratu-
lations. I went with him to the steamboat
and afterward to the hotel, where, when he
retired, he was still suffering. Now, I say
this, that he had one of those periodical
headaches which he has at limes,whln he
cannpt entertain men,,aud that it is in conse-
quence of this lhut people have gone awn
and reported that because of his habits he
was unable to do business. I will say fur-
ther, that I have never seen him when he
has been any more under the influence of
ardent spirits than our chairman is now.
(Applause) _I will say of the men who are
acquainted With him, that I never saw one
or heard one say that he had ever seen him
under the influence of intoxicating drinks.
I say that these reports in regard to his‘
habits are, in my judgment, the reports of
enemies. (Loud applause.) They are base
slanclersz (Renewed applause.) There is
nothing in his habits or character that robs
me_of my confidence in him. I know that
he is a man of great integrity, and I don’t
believe that there is any reward or favor
that you or any one can bestow that will.
in -ke him swerve from the course which is
for the best interests of this Republic. I
Will say further, 1 at I have never known a
public man who cared to be governed
less by personal ambition than Ulysses S.
Grant (Applause) I say still further-that
you may be With him in private and in pub—
lie, and you will have to be with him more
than I have been before you hear him u‘lter
one word in commendation of his services
while he was a general in the army.”
Senator Buckingham, as is well known,is
president of the State Temperance Union,

as any man in Washington to have known of
any irregularities on the part 'of the Presi-

to detect the circumstances which render
any particular path' more easy than others,
for the electricity to follow, that we are
often unable to give a reason for its follow-
