THE HoRsE.-I will state few things that
have learned, and they may be of benefit to
your readers A horse that is driven on hard
roads is liable to get stiff in the joints In 1888,
had an animal which after being driven or
days, got quite lame. An old Baltimore team
ster told me to wash the mares legs in a tolera-
BILE salt brine, which was done accordingly
three times day, and drove the mare 400
miles afterwards, and there was no more trouble
on that account, What pleased me most was,
the mare had very poor foot to hold shoe
when started it was very brittle and hard ; il
would break out when nail was put in ; but il
grew together at every shoeing. A blacksmith
in New England remarked to me that her foot
had singular appearance; when he pared it, ii
was soft and tough. Iaccount for it in this way
salt will extract moisture from the atmosphere,
which keeps the foot moist all the time; and
salt has nearly the same effect that grease has
on foot or piece of timber. The drppnigs
from salt on a floor, if continued long cannot be
got off; the wood becomes moist and tough,
and so with horses foot. After washing the
legs turn up the horses foot, clean the bottom
pour the hollow full Of brine, and hold tor.
few minutes to soak the bottom. The Practice
of rasping the spot all over to tougher 1t, IS a.

CoWARDLY.

There is class of ''delicate," wasp-waisted
females who are SO frightened if they chance
to see live COW in the street before them,
however meek Or antibelligerent in her mani
festations that they run, scream and make as
big a fuss generally, as if they had encounter
ed tiger ready TO spring upon them, Or an ali-
gator with jaws wide open to deyour them
Some contemporary who evidently "don't think
much" of such ou-araly proceedings, and whose
speech is distinguished by more blunt honesty
than gallantry, recommends to such timid ladies
to read the following extract from Coman's let
tiers, in which he speaks Of a fair and cattle
show in England r. Rep.
tThere were great many farmers wives and
daughters,as well as great many Of thenobesse,
in the yards, inspecting the implements and
cattle with catalogues in their hands showing
the remarkable points in the animals With as
much skill and sagacity as if they had been ex-
perienced breeders OF live stock some of them
are, ALSO competitors for the premiums. The
English women and ladies, to their praise be it
spoken, while they are as far from anything in
delicate as any persons | have seen, have no
sickly affectation of modesty, and do not die at
once at the sight of a COW or bull"

Texas and resolutions passed in favor of cedng to
the General Government the Territory claimed BY
Texas north of 81 degrees but declaring, that al
though the Government might conquer, it could not
purchase foot South of that line We are inclined
to think that events will prove the accuracy of our
previously expressed opinion that Texas will make
a proposition to the General Government, based on
this line, and that such offer will be accepted. The
line which is specified in the resolutions is 4degrees
9 minutes. We not certain, but we believe that
at the point Indicated there is wide belt of desert
and barren SOIL totally unfit for occupancy, and that
the slaveholding portion of Texas wishes to have
this as line of separation between it and free

Two or three weeks ago, we noticed thereception
of this work. for the purpose of censuring its very
immoral tone Since then, we have received circu-
lar from the publishers, DEWITT & DAVENPORT, in
which they state that they purchased the manuscript
from writer of acknowledged reputation, and rely
ing upon that reputation, published it without
ination, but that having had their attention called
its real character they have determined to allow
copies of it go out. This is the statement
given to US. We hope that such Satanic literature
will hereafter be so hunted down by the press that
