A !.! nrae Talk.
There is probably not one man in
a hundred, who, if asked whether he
could take proper care of a horse,
would pay "no !" The prevailing im
pression with most people is, that .car
ing for a horse is not any more u..u
cult than seeing to the wants of a pet
doe. The magnitude 01 mis error
particularly illustrated erery aay iu
well as in the
..... Wi nnlr loam to knOW tO
Iit decree of perfection this failn
ful animal may be brought, when we
find him in the hands ot tuose wuo
thoroughly understand his nature,
and whose love for the animal and a
proper sense of humanity, prompt
them to apply their knowledge in
practice.
Nature has not, in all her works,
produced a nobler or more useful
animal than the hcrse, nor one that
in all ages and countries has been
subjected to greater hardships, or
suffered more ill treatment Much
of this hardship and ill usage is due
to his uncomplaining nature and to
the meekness with which he bears it
The life of the average horse is one
of severe trial. He is therefore de
serving of the kindest possible treat
ment not simply upon the grounds
of humanity, but of policy, and es
pecially in the management of him
when in the stable.
He should not only be well fed,
but carefully fed. Regularity in the
hours of feeding should be most rig
idly observed. His food should be
varied, and when a change is made,
it should be done gradually, not all
at once. In regard to the grooming,
too much care cannot be exercised.
This consists not simply in the rough
and rapid use of the curry-comb, the
brush, and the cloth or whisp of straw,
uut in tne methodical routine, com
mencing at the head and ending at
the feet ; these latter and the legs, re
ceiving if possible, more attention
than any other part.
Again it is vitally essential to the
health of the horse that the stable
shall be light and well ventilated.
Upon the solubility of the air he
breathes, when in the stable, de
pends in a great measure, his liabili
ty to, or freedom from disease. Many
of tboses who pretend to perfect
knowledge of horse nature, think it
wise to close every crevice in the sta
ble, thereby not only excluding fresh
and pure air, but shutting out light
also. This is not in accordance with
horse nature. In his native condi
tion he is as free as the air that
blows. How strangely at varience
with this original condition, is the
one we frequently find him placed by
those who fancy themselves profound
ly skilled in his management Hors
es thus shut in from air and light,
must necessarily suffer in a greater or
less degree. The air by being breath
ed Incomes unfit for the purpose
again, having undergone a change
in its constituted principles. This
change consists in the deprivation of
a portion of its oxygen, which essen
tial for the purpose of life, and the
substitution instead of carbonic acid
gas, the inhalation of which would
quickly deprive an animal of exist
ence. In regard to the exclusion of light,
the error in this diretion is scarcely
less reprehensible. Light is indis
pensable to the plant and to man.
Is it any less to the horse ? A sensi
ble writer upon the subject says that
one of the errors of modern stable
building is, that of having them so
constructed as to most effectually ex
clude light. In a dark stable the pu
pil of a horse's eye is fully expand
ed, so fully expanded that it would
be impossible for the animal to con
tinue it in the same condition in day
light without serious and immediate
injury. When a horse is moved
from one of those dark, close apart
ments, into clear, open sunshine, the
dilated pupil, unable to bear the flood
of light which pours upon it, imme
diately contracts ; in fact, in many
cases, the eyes are almost entirely
closed. The repetition of this inju
rious practice, day after day, has the
almost certain effect of damaging the
animals vision, and in many cases
of destroying it entirely. How many
of the thousands of blind horses in
the country owe the loss of their
sight to this cause alone ?
But we must close an already too
lengthy article. Let us in conclusion
urge upon every horse owner to treat
his patient servant kindly ; to feed
him well, groom him well, stable him
well, and when in use treat him kind
ly. Speak gentle to him, avoid
harsh rough language, as well as the
free use of the whip, and our word
for it, you will be repaid by having a
healthier, longer lived, and more do
cile and useful animal.
Capitol la rarmla.
We resume this subject touched
upon a few days ago, that there is no
mistake so common or more injurious
than that of supposing the more land
a man holds the greater must be his
profits, for profits do not arise from
land itself, buf from the manner of
vstng if. The best soil may be made
unproductive by bad management,
and the worst may be rendered more
profitable by the opposite course:
but without sufficient capital no land
can be properly cultivated. At the
same time there is nothing to which
capital can be applied with greater
certainty of a fair return for a liberal
expenditure when correctly employ
ed, than in land.
In fact, assuming that the expend
iture be directed with judgment, it
will be found that the profits upon
the outlay increases in more than
a proportionate degree to its amount ;
thus, supposing that twenty-five dol
lars to be the lowest and fifty the
highest Bum that can be employed
in the common culture of the same
acre of land, it is more than probable
that if twenty-five dollars would re
turn at the rate of ten per cent, the
fifty dollars would yield twenty per
cent, or an immediate sum in the
same ratio. Admitting this to be
true, and no experienced agricultural
ist will doubt it it follows that a
capital of five thousand dollars ex
pended in the cultivation of two hun
dred acres will only yield a profit of
hve hundred, while if it were applied
to one nunared acres it would pro
duce one thousand dollars ; therefore
it is evident that this profit would be
increased by diminishing the quan
tity of bis land.
Many a man has been ruined by a
large farm who might have acquired
a competency on one with half the
number of acres. Most farmers are
anxious for large plantations, and
manr are thus betrayed into the er
ror of attempting to work a greater
quantity of ground, than they have
the means of managing to advan
tagesome in the delusive hope
of acquiring these means by future
savings, others from the vanity of
holding more land than their neighbors
hence arrises a deficiency of stock,
imperfect tillage, and scantity crops,
with all the train of rent in arrear,
wages ill-paid, and debts unsatisfied,
final ruin.
He who pradcntly commences with
I .1 t-M A I
only such a number of acres as lie
'lias iwib'CT of cultivating with proper
effect is certain of raising the full re
turn from the soil ; and his engage
ments being in accordance with Ins
means, he enjoys present ease of mind,
inro h unrest foundation for
future pr0SPerit''- 11 tI,cr'fore be'
hooves a man to weigh w ll.tbe charge
q with his means, and never allow
liimsplf to be seduced br any ideal
prospect of gain into the imprudence
of entering upon a'larger farm than
his capital will enable him to manage
with the spirit necessary to insure
success, iruir aid Judge nuei say
that "larce farms arc the curse of
our country," and perhaps no one
had better experience from which to
draw such an expression.
If a farmer has one hundred acres
it would be much better for bun to
put the price of another hundred on
it than to buy another nunurea more
and make the tame labor produce
double the crops, and not have double
the labor for double crops as is usual
ly the caso with us. Germantown

I.fnrlBMdthFrleadlaa Man.
A very pretty, and at the same
time characteristic, anecdote of Pres
ident Lincoln is given in a recent
number of the New York Ledger.
It was during the time that General
McClellen was developing his pol
icy of masterly inactivity on the !
tomac. The President dropped into
Secretary Stanton's office, one morn
ing, and seated himself at a table on
which were a number of petitions for
appointments to an important position
recently vacated, and after looking
at one or two of the formidable doc
uments, bristling with influential
names, asked the Secretary if he had
selected a man for the post Mr.
Stanton replied that he had not; that
he found it very difficult to do so on
account of the numerous persons who
would be offended at an adverse ap
pointment nd he was anxious at
that particular time to retain the
friendship of all. The President
continued to look over the jtctitions,
and near the bottom of the pile came
upon one bearing the single signature
of the applicant
"Poor fellow !'' said Mr. Lincoln ;
"he must be a man without friends.
No one to speak a word in his favor.
And how simply he asks for the situ
ation as though it were the office of
pedagogue in a frontier school. Do
vou know the man ?" The Scereta-i
ry looked at the paper and said he
did, and recalled to the President's
mind a voung man who had been in
troduced to him, with his mother, the
night before, and in reply to another
question said he thought him quali
fied for the position. "I ben, said
Mr. Lincoln, "as he seems so entirely
friendless among the multitude who
have friends without number, I will
be his friend. He shall have one at
least" And he picked up a pen and
placed bis strong autograph upon the
young man's petition. It is needless
to add that the person thas friended
received the appointment.
A Hundred Tons of Mold.
Recently there arrived at the Sub
Treasury of New York $2,000,000 in
gold coin. It was forwarded by
Adams Express Company from the
Sub-Treasury in San Francisco. Tho
weight of this coin was about four
tons. It was packed in twelve strong
iron chests, each about two feet and
a half in length by sixteen inches
in breadth and depth.
The cold consisted entirely of
double eagles, inclosed in one hun
dred stout canvas bags each contain
ing $20,000. Every bag here the
seal of the Assistant Treasurer in
San Francisco, and each of the chests
bad three conbination locks. The
explanation of the combinations was
sent to Assistant Treasurer Uillhouse
in two installments, one by mail and
one by express. This was to prevent
its possible use in the event of its fal
ling into unworthy hands.
The car - containing the treasure
was guarded by nine armed men,
as an additional security the express
company was held responsible to the
Govcrnmtnt for the safety of the gold.
On its arrival in New York it was
carried in express wagons to the Pine
street entrance of the Treasury, where
the chests, which weighed between
six and seven hundred pounds each,
were placed on trucks and rolled into
the coin division. The bags were
emptied and the contents counted by
weighing. By this mode the absence
of a single piece would be instantly
detected, as the exact weight of $20,
000 in coin gold is registered. About
$1,000,000 is fresh from the mint, and
this it was necessary merely to weigh.
The remainder, having been in cir
culation, is to be examined piece by
piece to see that every one is genuine.
Plaster Parla aa a J&Taaarc af drapes.
A contributor to the uaraen, in
planting his grape vines, has had ex
cellent success with the use of plaster
of I aris as a mannurc. He says: In
planting these I bad the boles dug
about 2.) inches deep. 1 then threw
into each bole five or six lumps of old
plaster, about the size of my fist I
threw a little earth over these lumps,
and then planted the vines in the
usual way. The result has been
wonderful. The vines, which were
not half an inch thick when planted,
three years ago, are now two inches
and more in diameter, and bear fine
ly. The grapes arc also freeer from
disease. Other vines not so treated
are much smaller, and produce less,
the fruit being also more liable to
disease. To try the effect of this plas
ter, in planting two American black
walnuts, we put the plaster to the
one and not to the other. Last year
we dug around the roots of the one
to which no plaster was put, and we
threw in seven or eight lumps of plas
ter among the roots ; the trees are
now both the same size, and, though
only four years old, arc 16 or 17 feet
high.
The First Walt Xatlva r Chleara.
Burlington, (Kan.,) has recently
lost an old and respected citizen, who
bore the proud distinction of being
the first white citizen born on the site
of Chicago. Sixty-four years ago.be
fore Chicago was a respectable trad
ing post, General John II. Whistler
opened his eyes for the first time with
in the honored precincts of old Fort
Dearborn, where his father, Colonel
William Whistler, was then stationed
in command. General Whistler's im
pressions of the bogs and muck beds
of the embryotic city were not favor
able, and at an early day he emigra
ted further west and has always lir-
ed in the frontier settlements. The
General has been much astonished in
late years, and he frequently regret
ted that he did not invest in a swamp
or two when Chicago real estate was
remarkable, most of all, as the nur
turing place of mosquito swarms.
General Whistler was elected in 1858
by the State Legislature as Brigadier
General of the Southern Kansas Mili
tia, a position ho has ever since occu
pied.
sac-Ideal.
On the 15th of April, 18G5, on his
way to his office, Jar Cooko heard
the rumor of President Lincoln's as
sassination, and had it confirmed by
the dispatches displayed on the bul
letin board. He went to his office,
stunned by the news, as cverv one
was, but his immediate alarm was
how the intelligence, being sent abroad
would effect the financial safety of
tho countrv. If a momentary panic
ensued here our bonds would come
back to us from Europe in sheaves,
and their value would be next to
nothing. It was a moment when
universal ruin impended over tho
nation. Recognizing the dangers of
the situation, what Jay Cooke did
was to announce at once to every
agent or bis Louse at home and
abroad. "Buy all the bonds of the
government that are offered von at
vesterday's closing quotations."
J lis instructions were obeved, and
simultaneously with the receipt of the
announcement of Mr. Lincoln s death
there was received throughout Ku
rope the intelligence, "American se
curities remain firm." At the close
of that eventful day Jay Cooke held
between sixty and seventy millions of
I nited Mates bonds, and though trca
son had done its worst, had removed
in an instant the President of the Ke
public and its Secretary of State, its
credit was unharmed, impregnable,
and all because one man wai wise
and brave and great enough to risk
all for his country.
Am Incident tne Fanlc.
But one woman succeeded in fairly
melting one of the bank directors.
She was a young woman, not partic
ularlv pretty perhaps, but she had
tears in her eyes, and $50 dollars in
the bank. She rushed frantically to
one of the directors, and asked him if
she could not draw her money from
the bank.
"I am very sorry, madam," said
he, "but I cant help you to it just
now."
"But I must have it immediately,"
she returned passionately. "It s all
I have in the world."
"Well, my dear madam, vou must
have patience as well as the rest."
"But mine is an urgent ease, and 1
can't wait, because "
"Well, because what?"
"Bcause," said she, with a smile
on her lip and a tear in her eye, "lie-
cause I'm going to be married, and
I've got to get some things. The
man I'm going to mam- has not
cent to pay the minister, and he has
only one leg, and so I've got to see
to everything mvself."
The benevolent director dove into
his pocket and produced his private
purse, out of which he paid her the
amount, and she weut on her way re

Writing- by Machinery.
A writing machine on trial at
Washington, I). C, is thus described;
The machine is about the same size
as an ordinary sewing machine, and
can be worked bv a child who can
spell as easily as by a grown person
It consists of a series of forty-two
kevs, to which are attached two steel
hammers, and each one of these rep
resents a letter, a figure or a punctu
ation mark. The kevs arc arranged
in four rows, like the kevs of an or
gan, and are operated on precisely the
same principle. The hammers are
arranged in a circle, and when the
key is pressed the corresponding let
ter moves to the centre, rececding
again immediately when the pressure
is removed. A space key is provid
ed, by means of which the spaces be
tween words are made. Mr. ash
burn of San Francisco, patented an
improvement on the machine, and he
contemplates the use of printer's ink.
In the original the color is taken from
a prepared ribbon, which is between
the hammer and the paper. At the
end of each line the machine is ad
justed for the next line by means of
a treadle, which is worked by the
feet of the operator. By this machine
three times as much can be written
as an ordinary man can write.
Aa Arablaa Fable.
An Arabian fable narrates that an
evil genius became enamored of the
beautiful daughter of a bashaw of
Bagdad. Finding her affections en
gaged, and that she would not listen
to another wooer, the genius resolved
to revenge himself upon the maiden
by mastering the soul of her lover.
Having done so, he told her that he
would remove the malignant posses
sion only on conditions that she would
give him her heart. She promised.
The lover was restored, and the wick
ed spirit demanded the fulfillment of
her word. She answered, "I would
yield you my heart if I had it, but I
have it not One cannot give what
one docs not have. It is another's
keeping; it belongs to the roan I
adore. Ask him for it. If he will
surrender it, my compact shall be pre
served. If he refuse, you have no re
dress, for you cannot twice possess
the same soul, and your allegiance to
Amaiinon compels you to abide by
any conveniant you may make with
mortals."
The genius saw that he was foiled,
and, roaring with impotent rage, dis
appeared. 1 he daughter ot the bashaw was a
very woman, fche waa a tactician.
Woman, by her tact, has always been
able to control her brother, and exor
cise the spirit of evil. The eastern
tale is as true to day, as when it was
written. Give woman half a chance
with the devil, say the Spaniards.and
the devil will be outwitted. The ar
gument of Eden does not disprove
the aphorism. It was Eve's curiosity
not Satan s cunning, which undid
her. Her most dangerous foe was
within. Relieved of that, she would
have cajoled the Trince of Darkness
out of his gloom, and turned his mock
ery and sarcasm to the tuno of ten
derness. Junius Henri Browne, in
Galaxy for Novemlter.
Frees tar will aot Kill Cared Cora.
I wish in this to correct the erro
neous idea going the rounds or tbe
press. It is popularly supposed that
a temperature of four degrees below
zero will kill the germ of corn. This
is not so; my corn was exposed to twen
ty-two degrees below zero last winter
and every kernel grew. I he trouble
generally comes in autumn. The
farmer delays busking his corn till a
cold rain comes on, ending with a
snow storm and a freeze. The corn
not yet thoroughly cured in the
schock, is first saturated by the rain
and then frozen and the germ is kill
ed. Corn husked and thoroughly
cured before cold weather comes on
may bo carried to the North Pole
and brought back and planted, aud I
will warrant it to grow.
"How much are these tearful bulbs
a quart f" asked a maiden of a Dan
bury grocer one morning, ne stared
at her a moment, recovering himself,
and said : "Oh, them inyons ! Eight
cents."
