TREATMENT OF KICKING COws.-A CORES

years, has never failed to stop the evil; Put
a strap round the COW, just in front of the

An EASTERN HORSE STEALER.-The follow
ing instance of endurance of pain would not
have disgraced Spartan. A notorious horse
thief coveted the horse of a wealthy native,
who, however, by some chance, became
aware of his intention, and redoubled his
vigilence. The man succeeded in getting two
of his comrades engaged as grass-cutters,
and one dark night managed to slip upper
ceived into the stable. His friends covered
him entirely with grass, and he was just
stretching out his hand from underneath it to
unite the rope, when the beast started and
became FESTIVE. The syce, perceiving it, for
greater safety tied the8 animal by a rope to
two iron pins, which he hammered into the
ground. 1t so happened that the arm of the
thief wos just then lying extended under the
grass, and that one of the iron pegs was
driven through his right hand. He.never so
much as uttered sigh; and though the ago
nyswas excruciating, he only stirred when he
thought the danger of being caught was over.
He then pulled thespeg ont ofsthe mangled
hand, With his left united the horse, mounted
it. and succeeded in carrying it off. This
was an exploit on which he ever afterwards
prided himself However improbable it may
appear, the truth of this story may be relied

IDAHO. Persons arriving from Idaho give
rather discouraging accounts of that terrific
ry. They say the gold region is altogether
too limited for the number of people who
have gone thither. Considerable suffering is
anticipated the coming fall and winter ac-
cording to these accounts.

The CiFeaSSian ExiIes,

The Rev. r. Philpot, writing from Constan-
tinople on the 9th ult., describes the condi-
ton of the hapless exiles fleeing from Cireas-
STA to escape Russian rule. He says: Our
first meeting with them was at CzerDavoda.
The rays of the setting sun fell upon a crowd
of twenty thousand men, women and chill
dren lying upon the short grass Of the noun
tain slope close by the Danube, reminding US
affectingly, though on rougher and smaller
scale, of the encampment of the Israelites in
the Wilderness. After landing, our captain
stood out into the middle of the river, being
warned that his vessel would soon be COW
cred by swarms of starving creatures crying
out for help. On arriving at sunrise to take
the rail at Kustendji, we found that the,
Pasha had turned to account every available.
means of provision for the benefit of these.
poor emigrants, and had ordered all the car
riages that could be found, including some
hundreds of cattle trucks, to be applied to
the conveyance of the crowds gathered at
KustendJi to different places on the shores of
the Danube.
We passed one long train of them on our
way, but the scene which lay before US or
arriving at the Black Sea it would be in vain
to attempt any description Dense masses
of ragged men, women and children literally
covered the sea shore. All looked wan and
hungry. Many were all Dut nakeus several
lay dying, and fair delicate girls, with their
heads reposing on their mothers bosoms,
seemed only to be waiting for their mothers
hands to close their eyes in death. Several
hundred women we're washing their children
in the sea, for Nured Pasha had considerably
ordered some tons of soap to be at once dis
tributed among them. Mostly the clothes
were washed upon them, and so left to dry
upon them in the sun. Numbers are still on
their way from the Caucasus, and it was only
last evening that a vessel full Of them entered
the BosphOrus; but the quarantine officer.
learning that fever and small pox prevailed
on board, Immediately ordered the vessel
back, and the captain was told to bury the
$50 dead on board in the Black Sea.

A SENSIBLE PARRoT.-Miss Gest, the eff
ent lady who has in charge the contraband
schools in Louisiana, has just arrived in this
city from New Orleans She relates a curl
GUS incident which took place on the steamer
Oli0e Branch, coming up the river. Among
those on board were some rebel women, one
of whom bad parrot. The bird was profuse
in the inquiry to those on board, "Are you
rebel?" An affirmative answer would elicit
the reply from Poll, "AlI right" When in
the vicinity of Natchez scout hailed the
boat and informed the Captain that rebel
battery was rapidly approaching the river a
little distance above and would reach a GER
tain point before the boat could. There was
an Immediate rush of the ladies to the hold,
the rebel woman leading the way frantic To
escape from her friends As they reached
the hold q shrill voice, evidently from one In
great alarm, was heard crying stake me
take me y Investigation was made and the.
owner of the voice was found to be Pol, who
evidently made up his mind, from the confu-
sion, that something was wrong. The rebel
woman went back for the bird and again
joined the passengers in the hold. As soon
as order was restored and quiet prevailed,
the crowd, and not the least, the rebel wO-
man, were dumbfounded at the parrots sud
den conversion of loyalty evidenced by his
vigorous vociferations of "D-n the rebels
DIN the rebels" The rebel woman protest
ed that she never taught the bird the latter
phrase.

REBEL DEsERTERs.-We have frequent ac-
counts Of large numbers Of deserters to our
lines from the rebels. We see that in the
interior of the Southern states, where these
deserters cannot reach our lines, they organ
ize for self protection, and defy the rebel au-
thorities The Richmond Wing of the goth
has paragraph from the Salisbury IN. c.
IVatelman, saying that tories and deserters to
the number of seventy-five or one hundred,
made descent recently upon Edgcomb Co.
Jail, and forcibly released three prisoners con-
fined there for murder. "One thing is GER
tain" says the WatcIs,ad's, " the loyal Confed
crates here must either subdue these raiders
or be themselves subdued."
The Lynchburg Viryinian says that on the
18th regular fight took place near Pleasant
Branch, Campbell county, between some citi-
zens and a gang of deserters. Two of the
deserters are reported MORALLY wounded and
four captured. The Vuyinian adds that there
are several regular camps and gangs of de-
serters in Campbell county.

SECESSION WITHIN SECESSION. is a
report, which apears to be well authenticated
of the formal secession of tie county Of
Jones, formerly of the State Of Mississippi
from the Confederate States" and which
set up an independent Republic The " Con.
federaeyn declared war against it, and sent
an army, under Colonel MowERY, of Mobile,
to crush the rebellion. The Republic OF
Jones placed their forces under Major ROBIN.
SON. They met, and desperate battle en-
sued, and resulted in favor of the new re-
public. The Natchez Courier SAYS:
$40 many this may seem highly wrought,
but nevertheless it is true. Numbers of de-
serters having congregated in the swamps of
Jones county, determined to form a govern
ment for themselves. Colonel Mowery, with
a force was sent over to disband them but
they fought desperately, and in their strong
holds defed the Colonel and his force, kill
ing, wounding and capturing many of them. "

SOAP SUDs.-The value of this article
stimulant of vegetable life cannot be too
highly appreciated. 1t contains the aliment
of plants in a state of ready solution, and
when applied, acts not only with immediate
and obvious effect, but with q sustained en-
ergy which pertains to few even of the most
concentrated manures. When it is not con-
yenient to apply it in irrigation-the most
economical method, perhaps, of using tit
should be absorbed by some material which
may be used as an ingredient in the compost
heap Sods, muck and other similar articles
should be deposited where the suds from the
sink and laundry may find its way to them,
and be absorbed for the benefit of crops. In
this way several loads of manure, suitable for
the support and sustenance of any crop, NAV
be made at comparatively small expense
The highly putrescent character of this fer
mentable liquid qualify it admirably for the
irrigation of compost heaps of whatever ma
terial composed. Being potent fertilizer,
it must, of necessity, impart additional rich
ness to almost any material to which it may
be added. Try it, and mark the results.

GAPEs IN CHIcKESa-Mr. T. A. Goodwin
of indianapolis, writes to the American In.
stitute Farmers Club as follows:
elm the transactions of the Institute, June
4, you discussed gapes in chickens. Not hay.
ing seen a case of gayes for nearly ten years.
/ had supposed them about extinct Ten
years ago, when Shanghaes we're young
tested an ''infalible cure" Take a grain of
black pepper, put it in the end of goose.
Quill. so cut as to receive about one-third the
grain, hold the chickens legs between your
knees, open the mouth gently with the left
hand. and thrust the quill, loaded with the
grain aforesaid, about four inches down its
throat; withdraw the quill and the chicken
never gapes but once more. 1t kills the worm
nineteen times out of twenty, and the chick.
en- about nine times out of ten; but | never
discovered that it pays. In short, long
since concluded that in yard infested with
gapes, raising chickens is improbable. Some
one said new yards are less affected with
eapes than old ones, and thereby hangs the
preventive. To cure gapes is impossible-tO
prevent them is easy. You want no sulphur,
no grease; no chiyes, no onions 1t consists
simply in giving the chickens access to plow-
ed ground. You never see gapes in the yard
of a new settler, around the cabin in the
cornfeld Gapes are peculiar to high State
of civilization and refinement, which depriv-
es the young of its appropriate food. You
want no coops with planked bottoms to keep
their little feet dry. Put the hen in nova
BILE coop in your garden, and while the young
ones will destroy a thousand insects which
would iDjure your garden, they will never
have. the gapes. don't pretend to give phi
losophy,I only state the fact, and wish to
state it strong-chickens having constant ac-
cess to plowed ground never have gapes."

The Lafe Elections.

The municipal elections this spring in
Ohip, have proved that the grand route last
fall was not the result ofa spasmodic effort,
but permanent triumph over the enemies
of the country. In our city this was en-
phatically shown. In Columbus, six out Of
the nine councilmen elected on Monday are
Unionists and several wards gave larger ma
iorities than last fall. In Cleveland the
friends OF the country swept everything as
effectualy considering the vote poled as
when Brough led to victory-the average
majority being over 500. The township
and city of Chilicothe did nobly; the aver.
age Union majority in the township being
l04, or Is higher than last fall. The ma.
jority for Mayor IN the city was 63. In 9TH
er States the same encouraging results were
attained. In Dubuque, Iowa, the entire
Union ticket was elected by majorities rang.
ing from 500 to LOCO, the gains being large
over last year. In ST. Louis, where there
was Conservative majority of 1900 two
years ago, there was last Monday, Rad-
cal majority of 1904. In Connecticut the
victory was unprecedented In spite If eff
forts to cover up the peace proclivittcs Of
the Democracy, the majority for Bu,a ing
ham rises from 2 500 at his previous lee
ton, to about 5000 majority The , ins
in several counties were as high as 500 1t
