A WONDERFUL HORSE.

" Signor Corradioi, the celebrated Italian horse-trainer, has on many occasions produced wonderful proofs of the intelligence and docility of the horse," observes a Home paper, " but the feats of the ' Blondin ' horse far surpass anything that has yet been accomplished. Nearly every horse-trainer of note has expended much time and patience in endeavoring to educate a horse to walk a ropa of enormous width only a foot or two from the ground, and much has been said in praise of the perseverance of those who have succeeded in attaining this feat ; but Signor Corradini is the first who has had the skill to train a horae to walk up a steep flight of stairs, and across a real rope only 9 inches thick at the elevation of 20 feet. A net of sufficient strength is placed beneath the performers in case of accident, but so perfect is the training of this sagacious creature, that when he has the misfortune to miss his footing and fall into the net spread for his reception, he walks out of it like any trained acrobat, and quietly remounting the stairs, goes through his performance as if nothing extraordinary had happened. The animal is nearly thoroughbred, and is of mixed English and German blood. Signor Corradini, after carefully examining a great number of unbroken horses, selected him from amongst them, judging by the Bigns only known to the best ' connoisseurs ' of horae flesh that he would prove to be what he undoubtedly is— the most extraordinary example ever brought before the public of the capacity of horses to receive instruction from mau. Covent Garden Theatre was crammed to excess when tho horse made his first ascent in public, and the most perfect silence reigned until Signor Corradini reached the ground with the beautiful creature, and led him into the arena, where he bowed low to the audience with bin trainer to receive the thunders of applause which greeted them." !

A Fact Worth Knowing.— Are you suffering -with consumption, coughs, severe colds aettled on the breaßt, pneumonia, or any disease of the throat and lungs ? If so, go

to your Druggist and get a bottle of Boschee's German Syrup. The people are going wild over its success, and Druggists all over our country ara writing us of its -womlcrf ul cures among their customers. It has by far the largest sale of any remedy, simply beeauso it is of so much value in all affections of this kind. Chronic cases quickly yield to it. Druggists recommend it and physicians prescribe it. If you wish to try its supeiioi virtue, get a Sample Bottle for 6d. Largo size bottle, 3s 6d. Throe doses will relieve any case. Try it. 245 While her mother was taking a fly out of the butter, little Daisy asked, "Is that a butterfly, mamma ? " A Wise Deacon. — "Deacon Wilder, l want you to tell me how you kept yourself and family so well tho paßt season, when all the rest of us have been sick so much, and have have had the doctors running to us so ofton." " Brother Taylor, the answer is very easy. I used Hop Bitters in time, nn-i kept my family well, and saved largo doctor's bills. Four shillings' worth of it kept us all well and able to work all the timo, and I will warrant it has cost you and most of tho neighboro £10 to £100 apiece to Wp sick the same timo. I fancy you'll take my medicine hereafter." See. 91 Pressed glass is turned out in the Siemens works that is as hard and tough as cast iron. It is far lighter, and not affected by temperature, &c. It is intended to make out of this hard crystal street lamp posts, stairs, and gas and water pipes. It is thought that tbeso articles can be made 30 per cent, cheaper than in cast iron, but will not, of course, be bo heavy. We believe that if everyone would use American Co.'s Hop Bittors freely there would bo much less sickness and misery in the world, and people are fast finding this out, whole families keeping well at a trifling cist by its use. We advise all to try it. Read. 05 "Rough, on Corns." — Aok for Wells' a Rough on Corns." Quick relief, complete, permanent euro. Cores, warts, bunion?.
