Williams. CONDITION VERY GLOOMY. Paris, December 11.—The Bona- partist anti Royalist Senators demand substantial guarantees before con senting to tlie dissolution of the Cliamber of Deputies. All ministe rial combinations are conjectural. The budget is tlie only obstacle to tlie second dissolution. Appropos of tlie fiscal coup d’etat, on (fit in mak ing the dissolution in these eircuni stances, tlie Government proposes t< supply, somehow or other, the uli sbnee of tlie budget, and whftteve that measure lie, it must set at defi ance tlie Constitution and belong to the category of coup d’etat. Among those who' are contemplating this solution, there arc some for whom it bus a particular attraction. They think the nation at length is losing patience, and they will furnish them 'so plausible a pretext for one of those acts of repression ill tlie doing of whieli lib erties perish and dictatorships arise from tlie blood stained soil. Others think the Marshal, gradually lured down the slippery descent of illegali ty will wind up by going to extremi ties, and allowing liis authority over the army to he employed for fresh violence against tlie national will which will give over France passlvt and conquered, to tlie arbitrary will of a single limn. Dissolution and le gality can no longer be conducted but of the hypothesis, from, among which one is reduced to select. It is impos sible to descide which is tlie most likely or what is the final plan enter tained. It is, however, evident that the hour of peace has not struck for France, and every day brings add! tlonul danger. WHAT M’MAIION SAYS. MacMukon is quoted : “Not having succeeded in forming a Cabinet uc ceptablc to tlie majority of tlie ('ham her, lie would constitute one to suit the majority of tlie Senate. If tlie Senate refused to accept it, lie would resign rather than renew negotia tions with M. Dufuure.” BONAUARTISTS TO TAKE A HAN Manchester, December 11.— A Paris dispatch to the Guardian say: it is believed if M. Batbres’ combina tions fail a ministry of experienced Bonnpartists will take the proble in hand and find a prompt solution of it. the call ON THE BONAPARTI8H Special in Eiujuircr-Sun,] London,November 11.—The Time Paris dispatch says the Order, M Roulier’s organ, referring to the liiversnry of Louis Napoleon's ele tion us President, argues that, mixed up at the last election witli parties havingnorootand no future, the Bona- pnrtists who with difficulty won thir ty new seats, impeached their pres tige by going to the country under the faded color and borrowed name. It now behooves them ta reconstitute their autonomy and declining the equivocal honor of being the prop of schemes concerted without them, to recover their independence and freedom of action. They will gain by no longer being the dupes, appearing to be tlie accomplice of presumption and medi- ocritv, and who have led their Con servative party to Reicliinofl'eii and would fain lead it to Seilait.

Jumping through the banners while in the act of evolving or revolving a somersault, doesn't add to the difficulty of the tusk, though leople think so.

H Sharp, Singer Office;” examined to see if the handwritings were the same. Mr. Ervin was re-called—Said he did not notice when tlie note was limided him bv Mm. Sharp, whether it liud an address on it or not: lie then took the note, Hiiid to have been left by Miss Sharp, and, with glasses compared the address witli the con tents, and thought there wus a differ ence, lint wus nut certain aliout that; ilid not put the address on it himself: got the note from Mm. Sharp und handed it to Mr. Fulkner. Mr. Fulkner wus re-called—Said lie first noticed theaddress on tlie note Tuesday night; his attention wus called t'n it by Mm. Sharp's remark ing that Orillia never address her brother that way—"W. H. Shurp.” Here the examination ended. About to p. m. tlie jury, after being closeted for about two bourn, rendered the following ill lieu of a verdict: We, the undersigned Jury of in- throwing a somersault, a cannon wus fired near the building. The horse was taken by surprise, sided off ill voluntarily und when I ought to have mine right side up with cure, then was no horse there. I fell fiat on my buck oil tin* tail, and hurt myself a good deal. Yes, the home is very in telllgent, and If he can only under stand what you want him to do, he will generally try to do it to till* liest if Ids ability. About slipping? Yes, one lias to look out for this. You know, of coume, that we rosin our slippers thoroughly, but did you know that tlie home’s back is liberally rosined too? If that wasn’t done the homi lerspiratlnn would very soon make :he bit of rosin on thoslipiiem useless and even as it is, when the night is warm und the home perspires freely, digging the toes in lor a grip will bunch up the lmir into little halls, muktng the hold uneven, or the hair coming out will make the horse's back so slippery thut it becomes very difficult lo bullion. Down South the darkies think there is a loadstone put on a home's hack. As to riding more than four horse at a time, unlessono was very tall und lmd a pair of ludlit-ruhber legH, I think it would tie impossible, as it is now for a very short-legged man tc ride four. There is a limit to the compass properties of the human leg "The home lias to leurn liis part as well as tiie rider, to become as much a part of the rider when he is on hi hack as the ancients' fabled Centaur He must learn to keep Ids gait cvi and steady, and to obey even the pressure ot* 11 if* foot in certain way The rider mustn’t put ids foot dow on any and every part of the animal buck, or he will destroy tlie mutual equilibrium. If the horse feels your foot two or three inches out of tl way, and in a different place fron where lie expects it when you light on him, it is apt to discompose him As to wind kind of treatment I glvi my horses, I cun only say that 1 hav a home that knows my voice befor lie secs nic, and whinnies with de light. 1 have always an apple or Lit of carrot or a lump of sugar about me when I go near where in* is, and we are on tin* best of terms. Don’t I sometimes have to conquer a horse if ho gets a stubborn or sulky fit on? Certainly, and if I don't do it il will render the lior worthless. The cruelty is only aji- parent, however. A little temporary severity is real kindness to the home Some of tin* trick homes are very dan genius and vicious, esiiecially the picbuld ones. This mostly comes of teasing them during their training to make them liright anil lively, but it it is not really necessary, and some trick homes are gentle as lambs. A home gets to know his business and to like it, the same as a rider dues.

Fill ’em up again.” "Yuas, I got her all del' time, hut exposen’ sin* go dude, I don’t got her any more somedimes. It’s better to mit der toctor, seldom right away.” But lie dld’t go. As one glass after another was forced upon him by tlie reckless crowd, the object of ids er rand was floated further and further from ids vision, until it was carried out of his mind altogether und his voice, uutinged with anxiety joined in the drill king songs, anil arose above all others. Tims lie was found hy Ids son, lute that night. The liny grasped him by the sleeve, nnd staid: "Fader, come home.” Fritz turned, and at the sight of Ids hoy a great fear arose in Ids mind, swept away tin* fumes of the beer and brought him to a sense of tlie situa tion. In an awe-struck tone he asked: / “Yaweup, liou you vus come here ; us soniedlngs de matter ?” “Yaw,” replied tlie hoy. "Veil, H|mke up about it. Van der ole voomuu—was your muddei*—is slu* dude?
