CURE FOR SHYING.

IF lady's horse beaddicted to shying, I
win give her sure and simple cure for the
same, one which have never known to fail
Letus for instance, suppose the existence of
heap of stones on the near side ofthe road.
The horse sees an indistinct gray object, and
prepares to shy at it, Themoment he shows
such symtoms let his fair riderturn both her
eyes on exactly the opposite side ofthe road,
and look steadily away from the offending
heap, and / engage that the horse will walk
quietly by For many years / have ridden
horses OF all tempers and dispositions, some
OF them much given to shying, and have
never yet found this simple remedy to fail in
Its effect Let those who scoff at me try it.
The reason is this The human eyes has.
doubtless, great influence on all animals,
and there is a strong and secret sympathy
between the horse and his rider. The horse
sees an indistinct object, and1ooks doubtfully
at it; his rider becomes alarmed, imagining
that the animal is going to commit some
eccentricity the fear is communicated TO the
animal, and he starts In terror from the OBJ
ject which has frightened him; whereas ifhe
finds that his rider sits unmoved and uncon-
cernedly, he regains his confidence, he goes
on ''in the even tenorof his way" Ibelieve
that one-half ofour horses are ruined for life
by being ''hit over the head" by grooms, to
cure them ofshying.

FATTENING CATTLE.-JohnJ j Johnston writes
the Country Gentleman that he feeds his cat
tie on all the hay they win eat, with four
quarts each ofcorn meal and oil meal daily.
increasing each to six quarts on the third
month, in three months 1 make them prime
If not extra beef, litter my yards well, and
stable them no longer than it takes them to
eat their meals, as they do better out than
when tied up, andkeep clean. Cattle bought
that had been mealed, / give more. If sta
bled, give plenty of air in front, this is i'm
portant- 1t isimportant to have the right
kind, Shorthorn and Hereford grades are
best These may be fed at anyage Ifcom-
mon cattle, get them deep at the fanks and
vide across thcloins, with good points gener-
ally; such may be fattened at rising four
years. There are so few Herefords they are
not worth writing about am feeding 800

THE PORTLAND FRE-RAPID REcoYsrRyc-
TIoS.-Among the many examples Of the pro-
gressive spirit and enterprise Of this country
is the rapidty with which great misfortunes
are retrieved. II is but little more than three
months since the greater portion Of the city
Of Portland was burned, and u appears
that up TO this time nearly seven hundred new
buildings have been erected upon the ruins Of
the disastrous confagration. II Is to be hoped
that they have been constructed Of Q substan-
tisl form, with view to security against future
calamities by fire. This disaster has developed
another remarkable trait in the character Of
the American people-their boundless charity.
The appeal for aid to the sufferers by the Port
land fire has been answered by contribution
from all parts Of the country amounting to
nearly half q million Of dollars. Thus our en-
terprise and our benevolence 60 hand in hand.
When heavy calamity be'alls one portion Of
the country the sympathies and the purses Of
the whole people are rendered TO the sufferers
Nor Is this manifestation Of charity confined
TO those In our own cities. The appeal from
Quebec TO the New York Stock Exchange,
after the recent awful conhagration In the
former city, has been answered by . prompt
contribution Of two thousand dollars, and We
have no doubt that not only will that sum be
increased, but that other Northern cities will
come 70 the rescue also. Even in t6e llght Of
,-our own interestA. AnAri from ths prompHalk Of

ONE OF THE FIGHTING REGxENTs.-we have
before us the Report Of the Operations of the
First New Jersey Cavalry" during the late. re-
bellion, from which IT appears that this fighting
regiment, from December 20, 1861, TO April O.,
1865, was engaged in ninety-seven fights with
the enemy, beginning at Pohick Church, near
Mount Vernon, and ending at Appomattox
Court House. Among these recorded engage
me4ts are Cross Keys, the second Bull Run,
Chsntilly, Fredericksburg, Gettysburg, Gaines
Mills, Cold Harbor and the whole run Of Grants

Effect OF PoLrTIcAL AGnArIovs ON OUR
FfNAscEs.-Our ive-twenty securities, which ran
up to seventy-two Immediately after the sup.
preston Of the rebellion, and were sustained for
long time at about that figure, have lately
fallen to sixty-eight and three-quarters, at
which they are quoted in our cable telegrama
Of this morning. Gold in Wall street yesterday
advanced over two per cent, and was quoted
at l47h. y
These damaging effects on our finances have
but one origin, and that is to be found In
the bitter and violent political agitations OF
the radical and copperhead leaders In this
country. European people imagine we are on
the eve Of another great revolution, when really
the fight for power between the two violent
factions Of the country can do little to ressrd
the rapidly increasing prosperity Of the people
or endanger the stability of the government.
II only damages our morals The same useless
and violent agitation serves the purpose Of the
gold gamblers at home, and we can see from
yesterdays market report how sharp Wall
street operators ran gold up on the strength OF
the Baltimore political difficulties. The oral
can be easily read and the remedy OWNED ~

The ARTFUL DoDGEs OF THE TAxMANY RUMP.-.
Phe Tammany rump held their convention op
Monday evening and put in the field candl.
dates for the county Offices to be filed at the
November election. The rump, sensible OF
their weakness, sheltered themselves behind
the skirts of outside organizations and declined
any fight upon distinctive candidates Of their
own. Mr.. Hsckett, who had previously been
put in nomination by two Of these outside or.
ganizations, was endorsed by the rump for Re-
corder; Mr.. Tucker, who had likewise received
two previous nominations, was endorsed by The
rump for Surrogate; DR.. Schirmsr with one
prior nomination and the endorsement OF the
German Club, received their support for Ooroi
ner; and Mr.. McCool, a copperhead Of the Fer
nando Wood school, and the choice OF the
Mozart democracy, was nominated by the rump
for Register.
With unexampled impudence the rump
affect to be ashamed Of Mr.. John Morrissey:
and postpone action In his Congressional
district to as late a day as possible. Al
the same time they were ready enough u
accept his aid to nominate their "ring" cads
didate for Governor, and are using his
money freely in their several committees
But be will hold their noses to the grindstonS
and compel them either to openly endorse him
or TO resort to their old policy Of pltting .
man Of straw against him and secretly giving
him their votes. Mr.. Morrissey owes It 10 him
self, however, to require an open endorsement
from the rump; for he has more right to bs
ashamed Of them than they have to affect to bs
ashamed of him.
The present action Of the rump, whose onlR
strength now lies in their ingenuity in trading
and cheating, indicates their willingness 10 con-
sent to any bargains that will enable them 10
temporarily retain their power in the city BY
proonging the existence of the Corporation
ring in the December election. There Is no
hope, therefore, for any reformation in the city
government In December, unless all who desire
to secure an honest administration OF municipal
affairs and to finally destroy the power Of tho
infamous "ring," combine to strike the blow
in November by defeating Its candidate for
Governor.
