How to Swim a Horse. — These directions 
are imported ; they came from the Pastoral 
(Australia) Times, and may be regarded with 
especial attention as coming from afar : 
“It is astonishing how foolhardy most men 
are in venturing into deep water on horse- 
back. Many a man has been years in the 
colony without having had occasion to at- 
temptswimming a horse; but hearing it spoken 
of as a trifling matter, he fancies it comes as 
naturally for a horse to swim with a man on 
liis back as to walk or gallop. On the con- 
trary, not above two or three horses in a hun- 
dred can carry a man safely over a river or 
stream of any width, and very few men have 
the nerve, coolness, and presence of mind to 
leave a horse alone and let him swim. A 
horse with a man’s weight on his back natur- 
ally sinks very deep in water, and many 
horses, before they attempt swimming, keep 
feeling for bottom with their hind legs. Un- 
less a man is accustomed to swimming a 
horse, he gets nervous, begins pulling at the 
reins, and then it is all up with him. The 
horse gets frightened, struggles, rolls over on 
his side, or comes right over backwards, and 
probably gives his rider a kick that puts an 
end to all his chances of getting ashore. In 
my opinion no man should go into deep water 
of any width who cannot swim, and a swim- 
mer should take off his clothes, put them in 
front of his saddle, unbuckle his reins, and 
then he is ready for any emergency. The 
neglect of this later precaution generally 
drowns the horse, as his foot gets caught in 
the bridle. I have, however, seen many a man 
who could not swim get safely across a river 
by driving his horse and catching hold of his 
tail." 
— The gozlin is the old goose’s young child. 
They are ycller all over, and az soft az a ball 
of worsted. Their foot iz wove hole, and 
they kan swim az easy az a drop of kastor- 
oil on the water They are born annually 
about the 15th of May, and never waz known 
to die natrally. The gosiin waddles when he 
walks and paddles when he swims, but he 
never dives, like a duck, out of sight in the 
water, but only changes ends . — Josh Billinge. 
That’s the Kind of a Coyote He Is.— 
The Virginia, Nev., sportsmen have invented 
a new and improved system of fox-hunting. 
The improvement on the old style is in the 
can’t-catch-'em, self-returning, automatic self- 
boxing, warranted-not-to-wear-out coyote, 
which takes the place of the ordinary unso- 
phisticated fox. The Enterprise, of that town, 
says : * 
‘ * 1 * * Last Sunday a number of our sportsmen 
took a coyote out into the Twenty-one-mile 
Desert, visible to the eastward from this city, 
for the purpose of having a chaso — they hav- 
ing a pack of foxhounds with them. When 
let out of his box the coyote was allowed to 
get a start of about three miles before the 
hounds were turned loose. Hounds and 
hunters on horseback then started after the 
animal, which gave them quite a long chase. 
Finally, the coyote became tired of being 
hunted, and started back toward his box, 
which had been left standing on the desert , 
near the wagon in which it was brought. 
Hounds and men went after his wolfship pell- 
mell, but ho gained the shelter of his box. 
He was allowed a rest, and was started off 
again. He made even a better run than 
before, but, finding himself hard pressed, 
again made for his box, which he finally 
reached, but not before he had fought several 
good fights with the dogs. As it was thought 
the coyote had done enough work for one clay, 
he was allowed to remain in his box and was 
brought back to town. That coyote now con- 
siders that he knows all about the business, 
and in time will probably come to enjoy it.”

WHAT HAPPENED. 
A very respectable Kangaroo 
Died week beforo last in Timbuotoo ; 
A remarkable accident happened to him : 
He waa hung head down from a banyan-limb. 
The Royal Lion made proclamation 
For a day of fasting and lamentation, 
Whioh led to a onnous demonstration : 
The elephant acted as if he were drunk— 
He stood on his head, he trod on his trunk ; 
An over aeuBitive Bhe Gorilla 
Declared that the shock would surely kill her ; 
A frisky, gay and frolicsome Ape 
Tied up hie tail with a yard of crape ; 
The Donkey wiped hie tears with hiB ears, 
The Crocodile shed a buoket of tears ; 
The Rhinoceros gored a young Giraffe 
Who had the very bad taste to laugh ; 
The Hippopotamus puffed and blew, 
To show his respect for the Kangaroo ; 
An d a sad but indignant Ohimpauzee 
Gnawed all the bark from the banyan-tree.
