Tlie Arab Horse.
Laynrd, the explorer of Nineveh, who is as
familiar with Arabs as be is with antiquities,
gives, in bis late work on Assyria,some curious
details respecting the true horse of the desert.
Contrary to the popular notion, the real Arabian is celebrated less for bis unrivalled swift
ness than lor extraordinary powers of endurance. Its usual paces are but two—a quick
walk, often averaging four or five miles an hour
and a half running canter; for only when pursued does a Bedouin put bis mare to full speed.
It is tbe distance tbey will travel in emergency
the weight tbey will carry, and the comparative trifle of food they require, which render
tbe Arabian horses so valuable.
Laynrd says that he knew of a celebrated
mare which had carried two men in chain armor beyond the reach o&some Aneyza pursuers.
This mare had rarely had more than twelve
haiidfuls of barley in twenty four hours, excepting during tbe spring when the pastures
were green; and it is orly tbe mares of the
wealthy Bedouins that get^even tbis allowance.
The consequence is, t,hat except in the spring,
the Arab horse is lean and unsightly. Tbey
are never placed un3er cover during summer,
nor protected from the biting winds of the desert in winter. The saddle .is .rarely taken
from tbeir backs. Cleaning and grooming arc
strangers to them. They sometimes reach fit,
teen hands in height, and never fall below four
teen. In disposition they are docile as lambs,
requiring no guide but a halter ; y = l in fright
or pursuit their nostrils become bloQ.dred. their
eyes glitter with fire, the neck is arched, and
the mane and tail are raised and spread out to
the winds ; tbe whole animal becomes transformed
The vast plains of Mesopotamia furnish the
best breeds, and these breeds are divided into
five races, of which the original stock was the
f¿!á;sis,smc; 'o.- r?^';:',v^J'fe<!it1^?.
pedigrees are kept scrupulously,and theirvalue
is so great that a thorough bred mare is generally owned by ten or even more persons. It is
not often that a real Arabian can be purchased.
The reason is tbat on account of its fleetness
and power of endurance to the Bedouin, who,
once on its back, can defy any pursuer except
a .Shammer or Aneyza with a swifter or stronger mare than bis own. An American racer,
or even an English hunter, would break down
in those pathless deserts almost before an Arabian became warmed up to its work. Where
thorough bred marcs bave been sold they have
brought as high as six thousand dollars : but
these, it is underst od are not the best of the
race. Tbe Arab wbo sells hie mare, can do
nothing with his gold, and cannot even keep
it, for the next Bedouin of a hostile tribe wbo
comes across his path, and who has retained
his mare will take it from him and deíy pursuit. Layard thinks tbat no Arabian of the
best blood has ever been-seen in England. If
this is so we can scarcely suppose that any
have come to America, but must believe tho
so Culled Arabians given to our government, at
various times to be of inferior breeds. Rarely,
indeed are the. thorough breeds found beyond
thedesert. It will be a subject of regret, to
those who admire the horses, to learn that the
Arabian is considered to be degenerating, the
conscq'icnce ofthe subjugation of Arabia, and
tbe decline ofthe Bedouin tribes.
IÍAIKUOADS AND THE    IRON    INTEREST.      The
Railroad Times states that the Railroads now
in progress ofc nstruction in Europe and this
country, will require for tbeir completion no
less than 2.400 000 tons of iron. To make this
quantity will occupy all the rolling mills in
tlie world, which are engaged in the manufactura of railway iron, at least six years—those
of Great Britain furnishing three fourths, and
the United States, France, and Belgium, the
remaining fourth. It is anticipated that the
prices of iron will further advance.
Education of the Chinese Pretender.—
The Bible quotations in the Chinese proclamation b are accounted for by supposing that the
writer had acquired his knowledge of the
Scriptures directly or indirectly from Gutzlaff.
One writer says that Tien-teh was himself at
one time a scholar of Gutzlaff He declares
that "Tienteh solicited and received from my
late lamented friend, Dr Gutzlaff, instruction
in the truths and principles of Christianity,
and although there is no evidence of his conversion, it appears that he renounced idolatry
and burnt his idols and ancestral tablets, lt
also appears that his popularity and influence
with bis foi owers arise mainly from bis acting
on the moral principles of the gospel. His
progress is said to be marked by the putting
down of idolatry and substituting an equitable
rule of government in place of the oppressive
corruption ofthe Chinese officials.''
ÍSür .Extract ofa letter from Rev, Dr Duffield
dated Trieste, June 1.
"While at Athens I had a very interesting
interview with our American .Minister, Mr
Marsh. Dr King was not at homeland I regret tbat I aid not see him. I had the pleasure
of-meeting his family, lie will, I think, hav"
justice done him at last. Our President- d.
serves great praise for the course pursued in
sending a special embassy to Athens to look
into that matter, and Mr Marsh has added to
his claims on the regard of the people by the
able manner in which he conducted the whole
affair."
Cause of the Quarrel. People who do not
keep themselves posted up en the subject of
European politics, and who hear all the world
talking of the prospect of war between Bastía
1 urkey may like to know what are the grounds
ot quarrel. Here is tho matter in a nutshell:
1 urkey'hes very convenient to Russia,so much
so, that all tbe czars, from Peter the Great to
N icholas, have been intent on4the ultimate annexation of that Jtfohammedan empire. This
would have taken place long ago, but that the
gerbusly extensile. ^t^J°_^_t¿^¿- "
the weak condition of Turkey, an attempt has
been made by Russia to pick a quarrel with tbe
Sultan, on the following pretext^ The Sultan
reigns over some thirty five millions of people.
Of these, twenty millions are .Mohammedan,
and twelve millions belong to the Greek church
aud the Czar modestly requii es Turkey to give
him such a power of superintending the sayings and doings ofthe twelve millions in question as would virtually make Mm mayor domo
of Turkey over tbe Sultan, This is the true
and particular cause of the quarrel. The
Sul tan, who is a man of considerable spiritre-
fuses to comply with Russia's demands. We
do not think the affair will ever come to an affray.
Mr Smith's character—by his wife. What
a quiet man your husband is,Mrs Smith. Quiet! a snail is an express train to him. If the
top of the house should be blown off, he'd- just
sit still and spread his umbrella. He's a pussy
cat, comes to the front door as though tbe entry
was paved with eggs, and sita down upon his
chair as though there was a nest of kittens under the cushion He'll be the death of me yet!
I read him all the horrid accidents, dreadful
collisions, murders, and explosions, and he
takes it as if it was the ten commandments.—
He's never astonish"d, start'ed or delighted.
If ■ cannon ball should come through the window, he wouldn't move au eyelash. If I should
make the voyage of the world and return home
one day. he'd take off his ¡spectacles, put them
in the case, fold up Ins newspaper, settle his
diokey. before he would be able to say, "Good
mofning, ilirs Smith." II he'd been born a
poppv. he coull i ot be more soporific, E wonder if all the Smiths are like himf U you
suppose if 1 were a man I'd let a woman support inel Where do you suppose Abel's coats
nnd cravats, canes and cigars come from] Out
of my brain Quiet! Ifa quite refreshing to
hear of a comet, or see a locomotive, or look at
a streak of lightning. I tell you he is the suppressed essence of chloroform."
ns>f'n7!S; Wall li* ox e': foment has .l;oen caused among the medical faculty of New Hampshire by the rendition of a verdict against Dr
Dixi Crosby, by a jury in Vermont, for malpractice in treatinga fractured leg. Damages
to the amount of $800 were assessed. It appears that the plaintiff in the case was injured
about.six yiai-s ago, and that Dr Crosby did
not attend to tbe case, but was merely called
once in consultation, and advised quiet, which
admonition the patient did not heed. The
verdict taken in connection with the fact that
some months ago, some $2000 were recovered
of Dr Kittredge of Andover, Mass, for alike
matter, and $1500 ofa voting physician in the
county of Strafford, has induced many of the
New Hampshire physicians to refuse to treat a
fractured ■ limb, unless tinder a pledge of exemption from prosecution in case of failure to
restore the limb to its normal state, A man
named /gan was thrown out ofa gravel train
on the Lawrence railroad near Windham, and
broke one leg near the knee, and tearing off
the flesh so that tbe bone was laid bare for
f jur inches. He was taken to Manchester to
