“The nobility of the father is the most im» portant. ‘he Arabs greatly prefer the product of a blood horse and of a common mare to the product of a blood mare and of a common stallion. They consider the mother as almost having almost no in. fluence upon the qualities of her produce, She is, they say, a vase which receives a de-~ posit, and which retains it without chang. ing its nature. Nevertheless if race allies itself with race, there is not a doubt that the product is gold.” It won’t do to de- pend solely on sires toimprove the future condition of our horses or cattle; the mares and cows must be good also.

8, Contemporary Literature.

We are accustomed to find in the quar- terlies epitomes of the lives of eminent men recently deceased. Cities, also, have careers to be narrated; and The British Quarterly compiles the story of Treves in the same thorough manner in which it, a few numbers back, gave a picture of Ra- venna,

The second article is an attempt to clear up some of the uncertainties of the early part of Shakespease’s life, and especially those surrounding the beginning of this li- terary connection with the stage. “0

Aunt Milly had arrays ed her in her best frock and apron, and brushed her hair till it looked glossy as the wing of a bird, and whena child feels that she has her best dress on, no matter what that dress may be whether the cost- liest silk or the cheapest calico, the associ. ation is the same, and all the self-respect which external circumstances can give her, elevates her spirits. It was this conscious- ness of looking her best that gave her cons fidence to caress Mrs. Bellamy’s gem- decorated hand, and peep into her pale face with those eyes, that resembled the violet in color and their natural bending towards the earth. ‘You are a very sweet little girl,’ said the kind-hearted lady caressingly round her. best ?’

‘He catches fish and sells them, and sometimes the gentlemen that cross in the boat give him money, and he makes little willow baskets at night, and Aunt Milly carries them away off and sells them for him. But you mustn’t tell of that, please don’t,’ added the child, lowering her voice. ‘He don’t want it known, ’cause he says its girl-work. I kelp him make them too, Aunt Milly keeps the box for us, and puts money in it herself.’ '

‘ And who is Uncle Simon ?’

‘Don’t you know Uncle Simon?’ asked the child in an accent of astonishment. He comes tosee Aunt Milly, and he’s so good. He's lame, and goes witha crutch ; and he’s old too, and his master don’t make him do much, but he does a heap for

There his course speedily placed him in_ hostility to leading members of the Republican party. Time widened the breach until an open rupture came, and in 1868 he was impeach- ed before the Senate. Thirty-five Senators voted for his conviction and nineteen for his acquittal. A two third vote being required for conviction he was acquitted, but his position in the Republican party and his influence in the country were ruined, After his retirement from the Presidency he was a candidate for the Tens nessee governorship and Senatorship, and in each case was defeated. A few months ago, however, success again crowned his eflorts, and he was elected a° member of United States Senate. He was in the 67th
