Loi TIE Poor HoRsE.-Compared
with their utility there are perhaps no
domestic animals SO badly treated as
horses. At some time and in some
manner all are more or less abused.
They are over-heated in summer; over
driven In winter, and over-worked
always. They are frequently compelled
to drag up steep grades loads too heavy
even for a dead level, forced into aitrot
where walking is difficult, and merci-
lessly beaten If they fail to perform a
duty which some one, totally ignorant
of their power and the disadvantages
under which they labor, has imposed
upon them. We do not now complain
OF the beastiality of striking horse
upon the head with stick of wood, or
knocking him down with the butt end
of whip-these things luckily are in
frequent-hut of the more common
practice of lacerating his fanks with a
whip, fora fault that exists in the driver,
or in the pavement. If under the com
bined influence of faulty shoeing, a
heavy load, a smooth street and care
less driver, the horse slips, his mouth
is. lacerated with the bit and his flank
with the whip. His knees may have
been wounded in the partial fall, his
shoulder, back and loins strained in
the effort to regain his footing, his hook
bruised by the vehicle, but these things
are not considered. His speed, courage
docility and general nobleness of char
acter go for nothing, when weighed in
the balance, with the stupidity and
brutality of his master. The whip is
applied and his speed increased at the
very moment when he needs kindly en-
couragement and strengthening care.
Verify, that man is benevolent, who,
In the midst of all this abuse, erected
the motto, "Humanity to Animals"

kossuth in Italy, and Blapha in Prus-
sia are organizing Hungarian legions
against the Austrians among the refu-
gees and captives of their own nation
whom fortune may throw in their way.
But it is an expedient to which the
same persons had recourse on more
than one occasion, and which never
yielded any significant results. Kos
suth, like MaZZini, and other eminent
ly subjective" characters, knows little
of the world that is outside of him.
He Is one of those eTileS for TDhOm the
sun has been standing still eUer since the

country. Could he get any insight into
the present state of Hungary, he would
know that the last thing his country
men wish for, is independence or SeUer-
dnceJ from the House Of HdpSbuTg. It Is
not any notion of parting with the dy-
nasty that they entertain; their aim is
to make the dynasty their own; to iden-
tify themselves with it; to exercise SOW
ereign power through it. The dissolu-
ton of the German Bund, the ascend
ancy of Prussia, and the disaffection OF
the VienneSe and of the other Austro-
German Provinces favor the NTagyars'
aspirations, and bids fair to place
their Sovereign altogether at their dis
cfetion. When the Hungarians propped
up the Austrian throne under Marie
Theresa, they did it for the benefit of
the Germans, and eventually to their
own injury. But any help they may
now tender to the dynasty will be
granted on their own terms and for
their own advantage. When 41EStriG

To person burning up with inter-
nal fevers ice is a comfort beyond ex-
preston.
Swallowing ice freely in small Jumps
IS the chief treatment in inflammation of
the stomach.
The constant application of ice,
pounded fine, and enveloping the head
with it by means of a cushion, or other
contrivance, Is the most reliable rem
edy for that dangerous malady, infla-
nation OF the brain, which so often
sends its victim 10 the grave in few
days, or to that living death, the mad

In all linfiamations. whether internal
or external, ice diminishes rapidly the
Size of the blood-vessels, and thus re-
lieyes the pain they give when thus
swollen by their pressing against the
nerves which are always in the neigh
borhood ofthe arteries of the system.
Diptheria, and some of the worst of
other forms of sore throat, have been
arrested in a very short time by pound
ing piece Office in a bag, then laying
the head back, taking the Jumps and
swallow them continuously until re-
lieved, allowing them to be detained in
melt. y
All forms of diarrhea sand dysentery,
where thereis great thirst, the gratifi-
cation of which by drinking any LIQUID
increases the malady, are promptly CON
trolled, and in many cases perfectly
cured, by simply swallowing as large
Jumps of ice as possible. =
Epilepsy itself, one of the most un-
comfortable of human maladies, is said
to be treated successfully in London by
the application of ice TO the spinal por-
tion of the system.
A piece of ice laid on the wrist will
often arrest profuse and dangerous
bleeding ofIhe nose.

SENATOR DAVIS, of Kentucky, doubts
whether Booth, the Assassin, has ever
been oyertaken and killed. Speaking
on the subject last week in the Senate,
he said:
he would like to have satisfactory
evi9 9ence that Booth was killed. He
had never seen any. He had heard
nothing but rumor. He would much
prefer II Booth had been captured alive.
Perhaps he was dead, but there was 70
his Davis's) mind an inex plicable mys-
terry about it. He did not think Baker
had any right to any award. He (Ba-
ker) was worse man than any he was
pursuing, and it would be Just like
him to have got up false Booth. The
body ought to have been identified"

The New State.

The subject of the new State
of East Tennessee is still being
discussed in that sadly democrat
lied part of our political vineyard.
In Middle and West Tennessee it
scarcely excites comment, and the
few who mention itseem Indifferent
as to the result. The Knoxville
Commercial, law and order pa
per, opposes the movement. In a
recent number it says:
The new State of East Tennes-
see! Are the people we'll aware
what they are doing in this pro-
ject? Are not a few men attemp-
ting to take hold of the constitu-
tional machine and run East Ten
nessee, nolens Uolesas, into all the
responsibilities and functions of
q new State, just at time when
she is in the worst possible situa-
ton to carry the load? We ask for
information. What interest, COM
mercial, financial, social or politi-
cal, demand or warrant any such
change? We cannot, for the lite
of us, see anything but political
ambition, and inordinate thirst for
Office, that can prompt the present
movement for a dismemberment|
of the State. We trust the peo-
pie will consider and discuss the
proposition, and not be hasty in
action,

A Proposed Meeting of
Publishers.

1t having been suggested by a
number of the Publishers of the
country press Of Tennessee, that a
Convention of its members, for
the purpose of establishing fair
rates of charges for advertising,
and a union for their general in
terests, might be desirable, the
Gallatin Examiner proposes Mon
day, the 18th of May, as the prop
er time, and the City Hotel, in
Nashville, as a suitable place,
for the meeting Of said Conven.
ton, and invites response from
its contemporaries.
The object of the meeting is a
good one. Other important meas.
ures might be urged.
