of her method on a certain number of young cavalry horses. 
After twenty days' training, the horses were so perfectly 
broken in, that the Minister no longer hesitated to enter into 
an arrangement with Madame Isabelle to introduce her 
B y8tem into all the imperial schools of cavalry, beginning 
with that of Saumur. The advantages of this system appear 
to be theso — to train the horses without fatiguiug them ; to 
diminish greatly the number of restive horses ; to lesson 
the number of accidents ; to train any number of horses at 
the same time ; and to lessen considerably the expense. —

Ikish Equivocation. — An Irish peasant never answers any 
ouestiou directly. In some districts, if you ask him where 
Buch a gentleman's house is, he will point and reply— '■ Does 
your honour see that largo house there, all among the trees 
with a greeu field before it ?” You answer “ Well,” say3 
bo “ plaze your honour, that's not it. But do you see the big 
brick house with the cow-houses by the side of that same, and 
(i pond of water ?" “ Yes.” “ Well, plaze your honour, that's 
not it. But if you plaze look quite to the right of that same, 
mid you'll see the top of a castle among the trees there, with 
a road goin’ down to it, be-tuuo tho bushes." “Yes." “Well, 
plaze your honour, that's not it, neither ; hut if your honour 
will come down this hit of a road a couple of miles, I’ll show 
it you, sure enough — and if your houour's in a hurry, I can run 
on hotfoot [a figurative expression for * all possible speed,’ used 
by tho Irish peasants — by taking short cuts and fairly hopping 
along, a young peasant would boat auy good traveller], aud tell 
the squire your houour's galloping after me. Ah ! who shall 
I tell the squire, plaze your honour, is comiug to seo him ? 
He a my owu landlord, God save his houour day and night."

“ The above engraving represents accurately a section of a leaden pipe, which was employed for a 
short time in conveying water from n well on the grounds of Mr. Dick, of Bonohurcb, Isle of Wight. 
The original section of pipe is 84 In long, 21 in. diameter, and 5-10 in. thick. A great part of the inter- 
nal surface is corroded by the action of the water; but, as shown in the drawing, four deep excava- 
tions have been made, and another is shaded out of view by tho manner in which tho section of the 
pipe has been cut The water lias cut these deep pits almost through the pipe, und not only upon tho 
portion which we have illustrated, but have formed similar clmsms throughout the entire length."—
