CRUELTY TO HORSES.
Washington, Sept. 20, 1884

It is usual in England for horses which are
broken down by age or i'll usage, to be employ
ed in the omnibusses and hackney coacnes, ana
one cannot think of the ingenious and cruel arts
of the drivers to force them into an acllon De-
yond their physical strength, without lndiSna-
ton and horror One plan. which generany
nroyes successful, is to lacerate the hide on the
hack mr. side of the wretched animal, and thus
leave the bare flesh and nerres exposed as marx
for the uhip of the drirer. This is in the COCK
new dialect, called " rdw," and we take the
following commentary thereon, from the lips OF
a learned omnibus driver on the Paddington
road, which we find in London publication.
The wretch who resorts to such an apominapie
practice, deserves the execraton OF every nom
est man:
"You may take your oath there's nothing
like ran for getting the go ont OF boss as
long as there's any in him. You call 1t cruel
but ri lust tell how it is now. Your buggy gem
tlemen, and SIGH, they takes and uses all lhe
hieh courage out of a boss, very good; then they
sells him to us. and we fogs the 1rork out OHM;
but after bit he gifts whip-hardened, and work
ed down, as it were, though its like there Is pen-
ty of go in him still, if we could only get it out
We'll then comes the use of the RAN; and il the
raw don't come natural, by the rubbing of the
traces and SIGH like, why some folks will make
raw, with a bit of blister plaster, or what not,
and its mortal to see how you may get all the
rest Of the work out OF the boss quite sprighty
by whipping into the raw till he hasn't leg to
stand upon and is good for nothing but the
knacker's SHAMELESS 1t may be crueiish, but it
is all fair in the way of trade. We buy bosses
for what work is in them; and we've right to
get the work out Of them of course, or else
what's the use"
We should like to have this experiment tried
on the omnibus DRIVERS, who are in the habit OF
using the ran, for about six months, at the end
Of which time, they would be enabled to make
a pretty fair report of the character Of the pun
ishment- Boston .JouynaL

they will be esteemed Of some validity.

CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO CANAL.

The magnitude of the plan upon which this
work is constructed, as to width and depth, be-
gins now to develope its great and important
advantages over most other Canals in this coun-
try. Passing this morning on the brim of the
canal, observed substantial schooner built
boat unlading of flour. Upon inquiry where
from, the number of barrels she carried, &C. l
was informed that she was from Shepherdstown,
and that she carried five hundred barrels.
On passing Captain Easby's ship yard OBJ
served new boat in the canal OF similar con-
strrct;on which was informed was built for the
same gentleman, (Mr short) in Shepherds
town, and that she would carry 800 barrels OF
Flour, besides having deck fitted up for dry
goods, &C., for return freight. was lntorme "a
that the freight of Flour was reduced from 81 on
cents to 25 cents per barrel from Shepherdstown
to the District, and II l-2 cents for tolls, reduc-
ing it to 81 1-2 cents per barrel.
Some of the schooners that trade to the west
Indies do not carry more than 500 barrels OF

PURIFIED BEARS OIL.

A MONG the many articles offered to the pub
N lie for the growth and preservation of the
hair, none seem to have given so much satlsfac-
ton as the Purified Bears Oil, which has been
known in many instances, to restore the hair on
heads which have been bald for years; il also pre-
vents the hair from falling out, and quickly re-
stores it when lost from sickness, or any other
cause 1t gives to the most stubborn locks a
strong, glossy and lasting curl removes the
dandriff which often impedes the growth of the
hair, causing headache, &c.
The Bears Oil is far superior to Antique or
Macassar Oils, which, being of vegetable origin,
soon make the hair hard and crisp, while ami
NAL oils, on the contrary, make it soft and beau
tifu. OF the latter class the Bears OIL being
more penetrating is, Of course, preferred. Mo-
theirs will find it excellent for the heads of their
children, and to gentlemen Of fashion it is re-
commended for the growth Of whiskers. When
used, it should be well rubbed into the roots of
the hair with a penetrating hair-brush, which
eXcites also a healthy action in the skin; the
hair should be well oiled every other day, be-
fore combing it. Being highly purified, and
pleasantly pcrfumed, it will be found decidedly
superior to ANY other article for constant use in
dressing the hair. Price 25 cents per bottle.

CnoLERA.--Mo alarm prevails in Savannah,
Augusta, Charleston, and the country adjacent
relative to the Cholera, than we have observed
in any other quarter. This is the first time, we
believe, that this immediate section has been
visited by the disease. The predictions and
fears of its intensity, should it ever break out
in the low rice fields of South Carolina and
Georgia., have been realized. All accouns
concur in showing that it is peculiarly desruc'
tive and fatal amongst the negroes living on no
plantations near the rivers. A letter from So
vannah says:
81 presume that on both sides ofthe RlverM
negroes have died, and il is mere or less break
ing out on every plantation. The disease e1h'
bits the worst form Of Indian Cholera, as DE-
scribed by the Madras reports and doubt al
ter spasms once ensue, whether one case IN R'
is cured. Indeed the negroes are generaHy
when violently attacked, brought in in the DTS
stage Of spasm, without premonitory symF
tom. Thus far it has attacked blacks alone
and may be said to be negro disease"
We may hope, however, that, the season De-
ing so far advanced, the course of the malay
may be arrested.
Quarantines, and precautions OF all KINDS
a similar nature, prevail in the South; but o.
