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 have his leg set and properly cared for, the fracture being a bad one. Dr Josiah Crosby, however, would not undertake the case unless Agan would agree not to prosecute him in case he did not get a good leg. To this the man ftis-UThe "State of Matrimony" has, at last, been bounded and described by some out West student, who says : ;'lt ¡s one of the United States. It is bounded by bugging and kissing on one side, and cradles and babies on the other side. Its chief productions are population, broom sticks, and staying out late o' nights. It was discovered by Adam and Eve while trying to find a northwest passage out of Paradise, The climate is sultry till you pass the tropics of housekeeping,, when wqu .liy weather seta in with such power us to keep all handsjas cool as cucumbers. For the piincipal roads leading to this interesting-state, consult the first pair of blue eyes you run p gainst.'' Opening of the Amazon. The river Ama- von is likely to he open to steam navigation much sooner than was expected; and if it is freely opened it will be the great event of tbe day. Gen. Echenique, the President of Peru, has alread3T taken steps on behalf of that Government, to put two iron steamers on tbe Amazon, each to cost about $100,000, whose object shall be the exploration of the river and its branches. All nations are to enjoy the benefit of this trade and commerce. The Emperor of Brazil, so far from resisting the Peruvian movement, is cooperating with it. He has conceded to a national company the right of navigation, with certain privileges in conjunction -with Peru. The company was to commence work in May last; and although we have no definite information that it was really begun,yet there seemed to be no doubt that it was intended to go into operation as early as July. Table turning. The London 1/orning Advertiser gives an account of a young lady who was suffering from trying the tabic turning experiment «¿jy animal magnetism, Hopes - were entertained that she would soon recover the use of her hands These hopes have not been realized.

Petition to Time. This sweet prayer is from the pen of Barry Cornwall, It. ig very beautiful: Touch us gently, Time!

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'fef'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 have his leg set and properly cared for, the fracture being a bad one. Dr Josiah Crosby, however, would not undertake the case unless Agan would agree not to prosecute him in case he did not get a good leg. To this the man ftis-UThe "State of Matrimony" has, at last, been bounded and described by some out West student, who says : ;'lt ¡s one of the United States. It is bounded by bugging and kissing on one side, and cradles and babies on the other side. Its chief productions are population, broom sticks, and staying out late o' nights. It was discovered by Adam and Eve while trying to find a northwest passage out of Paradise, The climate is sultry till you pass the tropics of housekeeping,, when wqu .liy weather seta in with such power us to keep all handsjas cool as cucumbers. For the piincipal roads leading to this interesting-state, consult the first pair of blue eyes you run p gainst.'' Opening of the Amazon. The river Ama- von is likely to he open to steam navigation much sooner than was expected; and if it is freely opened it will be the great event of tbe day. Gen. Echenique, the President of Peru, has alread3T taken steps on behalf of that Government, to put two iron steamers on tbe Amazon, each to cost about $100,000, whose object shall be the exploration of the river and its branches. All nations are to enjoy the benefit of this trade and commerce. The Emperor of Brazil, so far from resisting the Peruvian movement, is cooperating with it. He has conceded to a national company the right of navigation, with certain privileges in conjunction -with Peru. The company was to commence work in May last; and although we have no definite information that it was really begun,yet there seemed to be no doubt that it was intended to go into operation as early as July. Table turning. The London 1/orning Advertiser gives an account of a young lady who was suffering from trying the tabic turning experiment «¿jy animal magnetism, Hopes - were entertained that she would soon recover the use of her hands These hopes have not been realized. Her hands are nowifinnly clenched together, and it requires great force to separate fingers even for a moment,from the palms of hei' hands. 1 his extraordinary affair has caused intense excitement in the medical profession- x • ■ I |
