The Animal World narrates the following:—“ Seine time ago, in a small town near Paris, a crowd had gathered round a carter, who, swearing like a trooper, was brutally illtrcating a poor horse which patiently endured this unjust treatment. It appears that the owner of this poor animal had ordered tho horse several times back, but bis orders were not understood ; hence his brutish rage. But whilst tho crowd were gazing with indifference on the degrading sight, and several commenting on the stubbornness of animals, a tall and well-dressed gentleman, advanced towards tho Carter, Hud, addressing him in the English language, politely asking him tho hour ; the carter, hot understanding English, did not reply ; the gentleman then repeated this question several times, and receiving no answer, he at once turned up his sleeves and gave the carter a thrashing such as only an Englishman can give. The carter, in a fearful state of excitement, asked an immediate explanation of this outrageous treatment. The gentleman then very coolly replied in excellent French —“Just now you were shamefully illtreatiug that poor horse on account of his not understanding your orders ; in like manner, as you did not understand me when I spoke to you in English, and consequently paid no attention to my request, I have punished you for a similar offence. Let this be a lesson for the future, and teach you more humanity to dumb creatures entrusted to your care.” The crowd applauded, and the stranger retired. We have been informed that this gentleman belongs to one of the most influential clubs in London, and is also a member of the Society for the Pre- ■ vention of Cruelty to Animals.
