Thus, then, the history of the Arab horses can
bo divided into four epochs:
1. From Adam to Ishmaol.
2. From Ishmael to Solomon.
3. From Solomon to Mahomet
4. From Mahomet to ourselves.
It is conceived, nevertheless, that the race -of

the race; by the moral imlications* vou can ar
rive at a knowledge of the’.care which had been
observed in the matches, [breeding] of the intcr-
•*' with which crossing had been avoided.
*4i® horses of .race do not know effeminacy,
the horse is the most lieautiful of the animal's,
and its moral, in our idea, ought to correspond,
not degenerate, to-his physical character. The
Arabs have such a conviction of this, that if a.
horse or a marc gives any incontestililc proof of
extraordinary quickness, of notable abstinence,
oi rare intelligence,-or affection for the hand that
gives it its food, they will make every possible
sacrifice to draw a race from‘it, being persuaded
that the qualities which distinguish it will be
manifested in its breed. ..
M c lielicve, then, that a homo is truly noble,
when to a lieautiful conformation it unites valor
anti fierceness, and when it evinces pride in the
smoke of powder and tHe combat
This horse will esteem its master, and will
scarcely ever jiermit any one to yiount it except
him. . . *■
It will not urinate ivliilo it is travelling.
• It will not cat the leavings of any other horse.
It will r t disturb the clearness of the water
with its hunt legs when it passes over it
By its hearing, by its sight, and by its smell,
it will know bow to pre-serve its master from the
thousand accidents which often take place in the
chase and in war.
Anti in short, sharing the sensations of sor
row anti pleasure of its rider, it will aid him in
the light struggling with him in all parts, anil
will always make common cause with him (ika-
telma JRakoh-hon.)
See, now, the evidences of the purity of a
race. • . .
\Ye have marvellous histories concerning the
qualities of horses; the result-of all is that the
horse is the most noble of all creatures after man
—the most patient and useful. It is suppor
ted with little, and if it is'regarded in the jxiint
of strength, wc shall find that it is at the head
of all the other animals. The more robust ox
can raise a quintal; hut if this weight is put
upon it, it meves with difficulty, and cannot run.
The horse supports a man, a vigorous rider, with
a standard and his arms, and what is niore, wit s'
out eating or drinking. With its aid the Arab
is able to save what he possesses, to cast himself
upon the enemy, to follow his track, to fly, anti
to defend his fnmily and his liberty. -Suppose
him rich with all the wealth that makes the hap
piness of life, nothing is aide to protect him save
his hor-.-.
Do vou comprehend now the intimate affec
tion of the Arabs for the horse t It is equal,
and more, to the services which it readers, them.
To it they owe their joys, their victories; and
they prefer it to gold and precious stones. Dur
ing paganism they estimated it by. interest, and
only because it procured tor them glory and

tlio greatest praises, this instinctive love was
transformed into a religious duty.
I One of the first words which tradition attrib

he directed to the various tribes of Yemen, who
presented themselves to accept his dogmas and
to offer to him,'in sign’of submission, five mag
nificent mares which belonged to the five dif
ferent races that were then ill Arabia.
It is related that when Mahomed came forth
from his tent to receive those noblejtnimals,
caressing them with his hands, he expressed him
self in these terms:— *

of God (Rassoul-Allnh) adds:—
"Hew ho maintains and cares fora horse for the
cause of God shall be counted in the. number of
those who do alms by day and by night, in se
cret or in public. He shall be rewarded, bis
sins shall be remitted, and fear shall never shame
fully enter into his heart."
I now pray God that he might give you eter
nal prosperity. Preserve me in your friendship.

Soutlieru Manufacturing.
There is a cotton factory now in operation in
a State adjoiningX/misiana which pays twenty-
nine per cent on the capital invested! It is
certainly a large figure, and wc must confess
frankly that we ourselves were somewhat sur
prised at it, thoqgh we have long been satisfied
that we here in die South are overlooking some
of the surest means of wealth and independence,
and devoting too much of our time and thoughts
to matters that pay but a veiy small per cent
upon capital thus valuable. The factory we re
fer to is located in Choctaw county, Mississippi,
and has been (oing on noiselessly but most suc
cessfully for anmnber of years past. TYc sus
pect there are no politicians connected with" it,
or we should long since hove known all about
it, and its whplc capital would doubtless have
been brought to bear in numerous elections, ev-
e P> ® ne °f which wits specially intendfd to save
the South.
So quietly have the affairs of this very pecu
liar institution been. mSnageil that few pcople.
even m the State in which it is situated, prolia-
blji have had, until recently, any definite knowR
e 'JK®.°f 'L _ We do not recollect to have seen any
allusion to it in the papers of Missisissinpi until
lately, and in only one or two at all. Col. AYil-
hams, the editor of the Mu$L«sippi Planter and
Mechanic, wjio, by the way, is doing much to
forward the true interests of the State in thedc-
velopment-of its agriculture and of its domestic
resources in general, lately paid a visit to this
rotten factory in Choctaw County, anti from his
letter we makethe following interesting extract:
‘If wc were in search of an argument to prove
the practicability* and value of manufacturing
cotton and wollen goods in Mississippi, we would
want nothing more to the point than the success
of the.Choctaw factory. Starting with but lit
tle capital, remote front market, anil in the niitlst
of a community that entertained prejudices,
rather than kindly feelings, it has increased and
grown in consequence until a community of near
300 souls are now deriving support from its op
erations, while to the stockholders4t is paying
a dividend of 20 per cent. It is perliQp* one of
th^best managed concerns ^>f the sort to bo
found in the South, combining economy, skill,
.utility anti system in its details. For tin's the
company arc indebted, to a great extent, to the
prudential administration of their excellent Pres
ident, William Wesson. We were particular
ly struck with the quietness good- order, and
sound morality of the' little town. The opera
tives, nude and female, all looked cheerful and
contented, which, of course, bespoke liberal and
punctual .-ompensation for their lalioa."
This cx tact ought to Ik* embalmed in the
columns oi every paper in Louisiana, and we
nuy- add in theSoutn. It proves whatjvc have
been containing for, that in diversifying our in
dustry so as io develope our internal resources
and take advantage of our means of luitural
wealth, is fount our true policy, the means at
once of our safe, v, of our prosperity,‘Mid our
wealth.—.V. (). RulleHn. * * ‘

Arab slaves richly attired. To each lady, as she
entered, one of these held a beautiful silver bowl,

from a vase of the same richly-chased material.
Two little slave girls presented fine napkins, the
ends embroidered in gold, on which we each shook
the rosewater from our fingers. The dining
room was a most luxurious apartme-ok closely
latticed, for it looked into the streets of Stam-

and carved and painted flowers on walls and
ceiling. All had been done to make the cage
bearable. Riza Pacha's harem is, I am told,

for the discovery of the cause and the effectual

less than one hundred and fifty-three essays were

as the slate held the disk she pointed out the
nicest pieces, begging ntc to take them. The
fair Circassian sat opposite to me. 1 was curi

with a troublesome fork and spoon, threw those
incompetent auxiliaries tlown. ami grubbed suc-

Mlarc Hunting Extraordinary.
The Soutlixide (Va.) Democrat relates the fol
lowing singular incident, which sounds like a
new chapter in natural history:
A few ilays since, as Mr. Charles Warner, of
this city w as going a short distance in the coun
try on foot, to visit a friend, lie observed a hare
in’ tl.e road just h'evonu tiie bridge which cros

for something which pursued it He stood still,
and hearing no dog. was curious to discover the
cau«- of its alarm, when to his suprise, he dis
covered the object of it to be a small brown ani
mal which lie took to lie a weasel, and which
hunted the footsteps of the hare with the utmost
precision. Mr. Warner wishing to know if so
diminutive an animal could co|>e successfully
with the speed of the hare, retreated to a bush
near by, where he was an attentive observer of
the hunt for nearly two hours, during which
time he is certain that he saw both the hare arid
Wetzel at least fort}- times. They were frequent
ly • ut of sight for several minutes, but the hare
still unwilling to leave the place where it was
found, came round again, and with the little
enemy sometimes close at its heels. Toward
the md of the remarkable chase, which became
unoosnnonly interesting, the hare took advan
tage of the thickest covert that the place afforded,
anti made use of a]l her strength anti cunning to
escape, hut without cflect; and at length,Arear-
ied out by the perseverance of her pursuer, it
was heart! to cry for some times At last, the
