The horse raiser iu this State
has Always used a small horse,
iu fact has never bad much use
for large ones, and to day with
in tbe limits of tbe State a
small horse sells nioi*t> readily
than a large one. The demand
is for Texas horses—horses suit-
able for saddle purposes and
light driving. Orders that come
from other^ States now, are for
Texas mares for breeding pur-
poses. The reason we gett these
orders is because such mares
ate cheap and are good breed

Mules are principally used
for draft purposes in this State,
and .the counti7 immediately
east Of us. Mules will always
l>e used in> these States for hna
vy work. They are tbe best
suited to the climate and the
laborers who have the care of
them. The North, East, and
West have never looked for
draft horses in Texas. It is
hardly in tbe nature of things
that this Stat* should raise
ponderous Olydes and Perche-
rons—not for some years yet, at
least But horses foi all work,
saddle, farm purposes light
driving, etc., which can be sold
in the market for less money
than the same class and grade
of horses raised iu other Slates,
are tbe horses which we can
breed and raise supcessfully;
and wa believe it is safe to say
that we can grow such horses
better adapted for tba purposes
for which they will be used,
th\n any State or section of
country' in the Union. The
horse for all work should be
from 15 to 10 hands high, weigh
from 850 to 1200 pounds, of pro-
nounced color, with good feet,
legs of bone, sinew and muscle
free from flesh. Tbfe body
should have deep chest, large
barrel, short back, high withers
and well rounded hips, with
shot t "ham-strings,"eyes ^should
be prominent, large nostril, and
cleau throat-latch. 'Buck horses
are always saleable at prices

Wilson was a

Hampshire home early in life,

to get out from under the bale-

He was sent to Washington
to carry a petition against the
admission of Texas into the
Unio^. Jobn Quincy Adams
asked him to a dinner party,
where he met with some of the
great men of the nation. He
was asked to drink wine. The
temptation to lay aside bis
temperance principle for a mo-
ment, in order not to seem sin
gular, was a strong one.. But
he resisted it and deolined the
glass of wine. Mr. Adams com
mended him for his adherence
to bis Convictions.

The Medical Record says:
"No one who by overexertion
of the body and .mind, has ever
experienced the reviving influ-
ence of a tumbler of this bever-
age, heated as hot as it can ba
sipped, will willingly forego a
resort to it because of its being
rendered somewhat less acc^pt-
ble to th« palate. The prompt
ness with which its noodial in-
fluence is felt is indeed surpris-
ing. : Some portion of it seems
to be digested and appropriat-
ed almost immediately, and
many who now fancy they need
alcoholic stimulants when ex-
hausted by fatigue, will find iu
tbis simple draught an equiva-
lent that will-be abundantly
satisfying and far more endur
ing in its effects."
As a rule farmers make too
little use ot milk. Sweet skimm
ed milk is' the very best bever-
age for theib and their children,
and if warmed and sipped grad-

ord, both nutritions and agreea-
ble. This we know from long
daily habft and skimmed milk
we know to be better than
whole milk in this respect. To

Coffee and Ataofcol in Braail.
Scientitie A.tueriea:i. .
According t« the statement of
tbe Vice Director of the Rio
Janeiro faculty of medicine, it
appears that in Brazil, where
great quantities of coffee are
used aud where all the inhabi-
tants take it many times a day.
alcoholism is completely un-
known ; it is further stated that
the immigrants arriving in that
.country, though beset with the
passiou for alcohol, contract
little by little the habits of tbe
Brazilians, acquiring their fond-
uess fur drinkiug coffee and
their aversion for liquors; and
as the cbildreu of these immi-
grants brought up. with coffee
from th**ir early years never
contiact the fatal habits known
to their parents, it would seem
that the number of drnukards
in the country is in iuvese ratio
to the amount of coffee consum-
ed. A South American oorres-*
spondent of the Medical Times
confirms the above statements,
asserting that tbe number, of
cafes in the large cities of Bra-
zil—where multitudes of per-
sons from the highest down to
the lowest classes go in to take
a cup of that delicious beverage
wnich none but Brazilians know
how to make properly—is
enormous, while drinking sa-
loons or bars are very few, and
lh'iir patrons fewer still.
If the above is correct our
temperance advocates might
take a hint. Less oratory aud
more coffee pould gi?e better
success to their efforts. The
opening of a cheap coffee house
alongside of every gin mil!
might have the effect to drv up

The King of Prussiq recently
visited a needle manufactory iu
lis kingdom, in order to see
what machinery, combined
with the human hand, could
produce. He was shown a
umber of superfine needles,
thousands of which, together,
did not weigh half an ounce,
aud marveled how such minute
objects could be pierced with
an eye. But he was to see that
n thi« respect even something
still finer and more perfect
could be created. The borer—

smile. He placed it at once
under the boring machine,

greatest care, furnished it with
thread and then handed the
singular needle to the astonish-
