In France, and J bclicve in European eountries, says L'Artiste. it is a most ominous sign for a rider, and especially a soldier, to want a horse with four whito ieet. The f amous Uen. Lasalle, who was very superstitious upon this point, never knowing'ly mounted such a horse. The day of his death, after several ominous events which had happened to him that day, such as a broken mirror, a broken pipe, the picture of his wife broken at the moment when he went to look ai it for the last time, be mounted a horse not his ovn and without jrlancing' at its feet. The horse had the unlucky signs. Mounted upon this horse he wasstruck by a shot fired at a moment when fighting had ceased by a Croat among the prisoners just taken at the battle of Wagrani. On the other hand, these four white feet are a mark and tokcn of consideration with orientáis, who do not fail to mention the fact in the pedigree of their horses. I notice a proof in the certified list, made by the elders of the eountries, which aceompanies the present which AM'cl Kader in July, !v.!, made to the emperor of a certain number of valuable horses. Thousands ofsuch proofs may be cited.
