Tough ,\xn Pi.t'cuv Pomes.— A specially 

 of renown in Russia are Ihe little horses of 

 the Mushik. They are hardy in the first in- 

 stance, as everything is in Russia, and they 

 arc quick and strong. Two of these little 

 horses, hardly enough to be called ponies, 

 will draw a plough all day, with a pause at 

 noon. They are now largely exported 

 (under the name of Litlhauers) to Prussia, 

 and in some places have altogether dispos- 

 sessed the oxen of their old privileges. I 

 worked with them on one of the estates of 

 Barton Pfuce, where they were fed upon 

 chaff of any description, "even of lupines, 

 very successfully, condimented with some 

 potato refuse from the distillery. In harvest 

 time, when the little mice had to work like 

 brewers' horses, I administered to them some 

 bran, and they grew fat even under so un- 

 favorable circumstances. AVe soon had 

 some twenty more sent down, and so we 

 would spare them a little, and send them 

 into the inclosure with the foals l.ow and 

 then. Two of them were able to draw the 

 reaper all day long, and got two pecks of 

 oats each as an encouragement. They, too, 

 laid on flesh during the time. 1 mean to 

 say that they are the most useful animals 

 for easy agriculture existing, as we used to 

 work tliem.— Bussiari Jwrnal. 



STEEPLECHASE; — They don't do these 

 thiiurs in Portugal as they do in England and 

 Prance, says La ham Illvstree. In a match 

 between Senors Joseph Martins and Carlos 

 Uelvas there was a ditch, an Irish leap, and 

 seven fences, which the cavaliers surmount- 

 ed nobly. After clearing the last, they re- 

 turned courteously side by side at a walk to 

 the starting-post," amidst the enthusiastic 

 plaudits of the spectators, who regarded 

 them as rivals worthy of the days of ancient 

 chivalry.

COL. JOHN BODINE. 



WE present our readers with a portrait 

 Of Col. John Bodine, of Highland, 

 Ulster County, N. Y., one of the members 

 of the American Team, in the late Inter- 

 national Rifle Match. 



Col. Bodine is a true representative of the 

 Amateur Riflemen of America. His great 

 steadiness and unvarying high scores at 

 Creedmoor, together with the nerve dis- 

 played by him "in the International Mai ch 

 when firm g the "Last Shot," has procured 

 for him the soubriquet of "Old Reliable." 



His experience in rifle shooting extends 

 over thirty years, commencing with the 

 heavy target of twenty to forty pounds, with 

 telescope sights and light bullet, and range 

 of one to tovo hundred yards, and ending 

 with the superior breech loader of ninety 

 grains of powder, and five hundred and fifty 

 grains of lead, weight 10 pounds, and range 

 accurate and effective at two-thirds of a 

 mile, as used by him at Creedmoor. 



His experiments for the past few years 

 have been thoroughly practical and scientific, 

 and his suggestions in regard to modifica- 

 tions and improvements in the construction 

 of rifles or methods of preparing ammunition 

 for the same, has bad much to do with the 

 present perfection of the Creedmoor target 

 gun, which now equals anything in the 

 world in simplicity of action, rapidity of 

 fire, length of range and accuracy, a breech 

 loader equal, if not superior to the famous 

 muzzle loaders of Great Britain in accuracy 

 and power. Col. Bodine is also an accomp- 

 lished sportsman in the field, and his collec- 

 tion of modern sporting guns is perhaps the 

 finest in the States. 



He is forty-eight years of (ige, was born 

 in the county in which he, now resides, and 

 is descended from the "Huguenot Patentees" 

 who settled the valley of the Walkill. He 

 was brought up a farmer, and followed this 

 business "up to the year 1854. At this time 

 leaving the farm, he engaged in the service 

 of the~New York and Erie Railroad for two 

 years, since which ho has resided on the 

 Hudson River, at. Newburgh, being engaged 

 in ihe Bank of Newburgh as paying and re- 

 ceiving teller. His health failing from close 

 confinement, he relinquished his position in 

 the Bunk for his preai nt business, and for a 

 number of years past, has been prominently 

 identified with Sieamboafing and Bargeing 

 on the Hudson River, lie is now engaged 

 in running a line of barges between High- 

 land and Xew Y'ork, doing a Freighting and 

 Commission business in Merchandise and 

 Farmer's Produce. 



Although a most active' business man, yet 

 he finds an occasional day for his favorite 

 pastime of rifle shooting* and field sports, 

 proving that it is not necessary thai men 

 should' be "professionals" to excel in manly 

 sports. Previous to leaving the farm, he 

 was connected with the State Militia, and 

 held the rank of Colonel in the 92d llegt., 

 Bth Brigade, N. T. 



Colonel Bodine is a, type of the men who 

 are to make Creedmoor as famous in Ame- 

 rica, as "Wimbledon is in England.
