childhood and youth, girls are a
healthy, hardy, and capable Of en-
during fatigue as boys, for the yer.
lgood reason that nature, regarding i
equally as necessary TO give then
good constitutions, has kindly dom
so; and because they run ard ROM
in the open air, and ihns obey III,
promptings of unsophisticateG ma
ture. Yet our men are much mols
healthy than women or even young
ladies. Take the families of mer
chants and business men--not the
purse proud nabob on ths one hand
nor the hardy deliver on the oiher-
and how stands the matter? The
men are active, industrious, accus.
toned TO a great degree OF bodily
exertion; they. are busy with bales
and boxes among draymen and por-
tiers; they are driving about the
wharves and streets all day, their
minds and bodies fully employed,
and go home with keen and we'll
earnsd appetite; while their wives
and daughters standing, Of course,
on the same platform Of respectable
ty as themselves, have dragged
through the wealisome hours Of The
day in listless idleness or sedentarv
pursuits, and approach the table with
an appetite that almost spurns the
repast which other hands haye pre-
pared, and fill their anxious hus-
bands or fathers ears with COM
plants Of a thousand ills, which.
perhaps. nothing but a summer al
the springs or watering-place can
assuage. Poor creatures, they have
not been properly educated. Fash,
ion would pout IFS contemptuous lips
and toss its brainless head at the idea
of useful toll for the wife and daugh-
tiers Of a wealthy merchatl But
that same tickle goddess has no OBJ
lection TO the father and son going
into the store, and laboring all day,
rolling barrels, packing and unpack-
ing goods, which, for them, is all very
well; but she denies 20 the daughter
any part in household affairs, because
it is vulgar and disrepulable, and
consignes her 10 the practice of mu-
sic, drawing, worsted, and lace
work. What matters it if the sons
hand be hard, his chest and muscles
brawny, his face bronzed by the sun
and wind, and, with these firm health;

Fragile, pale, and delicate. with soft,

REMEDY FOR BoTs IN HoRsEs.-

REMEDY FOR BoTs IN HoRsEs.-
For many years past ! have used a
simple remedy for bots, and an.
almost disposed to call it "an in.
fallible remedy" sure enough. But
| can say, with truth, that / have
never known it fail, if administered
at the commencement OF the attack.
Drench freely with sweet milk and
molasses Sugar or honey will dol
well shaken together. Continue it,
a bottleful every fifteen or twenty
minutes, according 10 the severity OF
the attack, until the animal becomes
easy; then give a quart bottlelul OF
strong salt and water, followed soon
after with quart bottle OF castor
oil.
1t is worse than idle TO give any~
thing with the view of killing the
bots in horse. The oaly plan is 10
convey them of; a sweet drench is
the thing-they seize upon it with
avidity, and in little while will fill
themselves, increasing at least one
third in size. In salt and water they
will lie perfectly dormant for days
together, hence the advantage OF its
preceding the oil. Whenever the
bots attack horse they will always
be found at the neck of the throat,
where sweet drench is down i'm
mediately among them the moment
it is swallowed by the horse. Ii is a
great mistake TO suppose that they
are hid in some secret recess where
medicine cannot reach them, and
quite as great one TO suppose that
a sweet drench will not divert their
attention from the horse.-jSomhern

ZANEsvhLE, (Ohie).--A writer in
the Cincinnati Atlas gives the follow
ing history Of GAINESVILLE: .I
In 1877, Ebenezer Zane and John
McIntire, with a few friendly Indi>
ans and pioneer woodsmen, marked
out the trace Of the first road from
Wheeling, through GAINESVILLE TO
Limestone, now MaysvilIe, Ken
tuckv. This first road was compen-
saied by the United States, by as
signing TO Zane three whole sections
Of land, one of which he entered on
The site Of the present town Of
GAINESVILLE, one at Lancaster, and
one at Chillicoihe. GAINESVILLE, first
called 'Westbourne,' mot one proba-
bly, from which no traveller returns,l
was laid out in 1899. Here Louis
Philippe was guest during his
wanderings in the United States, at
an early day, and near here, al the
neighboring Indian village Of Wap.
patomika, on a 1000 acres military
tract, early settled General Jonathan
Cass, Revolutionary officer, and
father of Senator Cass. Here the
State Legislature sat during the win
Ter of 1910 and IL, and 1911 and
10. GAINESVILLE is geographically in
a place Of business. o. ,-ailgeu

Mexican News.

Late dates from Mexico state, in
reference TO the recent Coup de
Etat, that after the election Of the
Deputies from the Chambers, fifty
eight of the members met at pri-
vate house on the 2Ist ultimo, and
on the subsequent day, eighty-six
members being present, President
Cevallos was impeached and Don
Juan Mugicaly Osorio, present Gov
ernor of Puebla, was elected Presi-
dent of the Republic qd interim,
with authority 10 select the place
where the Congress should re as
semble. Don Marcelino Castaneda
left the city of Mexico for PuebIa to
install the President elect, but he
refused to accept the Office. ft1ssi,
"A proclamation has been issued by
the Governor of the Federal Dis
trict, warning the Senators and
Representatives Of the dissolved
Congress against all seditious and
revolutionary attempts to assemble
as a5legislative body, and menacing
them with speedy trial and condign
punishment in case of an infraction
of this proclamation. ass7 ag si,7
The conservative press all approve

the adoption of provisional laws TO
be arranged by Gen. Uraga and

WEIGHING DEPARTMENT. OF THE
BANK OF ENGLAND.-One Of the
most interesting and astonishing de-
partments within the whole compass
of the Bank OF England is the
weighing department, in which,
with the rapiditv OF thought, and a
precision approaching TO the hum
dredth part Of a grain, the weight Of
the gold coins is determined. There
are six weighing machines, kept
working by the same agency which
applies all mechanical power in the
bank, and three weighers attend 10
these. Rolls of sovereigns, or half
sovereigns, are placed in grooves,
and are shaken one at time. by the
motion of the machine, into. the
scale. If they are of standard
weight. they are thrown by The same
mechanical intelligence into a box at
the right hand side of the person
who watches the operation; If they
have lost the hundredth part Of al
grain, they are cast into box on the
left. Those which stand the test are
put into bags Of 1000 sovereigns
each, and those below par are cut
by a machine, and sent back TO the
mint. Between one thousand and
two thousand light sovereigns are
thus daily sent out OF circulation
The silver is put up in bags, each of
FL 900 value, and the gold into bags
of a thousand, and then those bag
fuls of bullion are sent through a
strongly-guarded door, o. rather
window, into the treasury. The
treasury is a gloomIy apartment, fiji
ted up with iron presses, which are
with huge locks and bolts,
and which are perfectly fre-Proof.
Gold, silver, and paper money, |
ready for circulation, TO the amount |
Of f22, 100000 sterling, were in the
treasury when we visited it. One of
The gentlemen in that Department
placed 1000 sovereigns in our hand,
and at the same time pointed 10
seventy bags full Of gold in a little
recess which he had thrown open,
making, in all, the modest sum of
e70,000. He placed notes of bali
| million also upon our palm, which,
10 doubt, had its own sensation as
he precious deposit trembled on its
