Balky Horscs

If Won have balky horses, it is your
fault and not the horses, for if they do
not pull true there is some cause for it,
and if you remove the cause the effect
will cease. When your horse balks he
is excited, and does not know what You
want him to do. When he gets little
excited stop him five or ten minutes:
pat him and speak gently to him, and
as soon as he is over his excitement, he
will, in nine cases ont of ten, pull at
the word. Whipping and slashing and
swearing only makes the matter worse
After you have gentled him while,
and his excitement has cooled down,
take him by the bits turn him
each way few times as far as you can;
pull out the tongue; gentle him little;
unrein him; then step before the balky
horse and let the other start first; then
Won can take them anywhere You wish.
4 balky horse is always high spirited
and starts quick; half the pull is out
before the Others start; by standing be-
fore him the others start too. By close
application to this rule, you can make
any balky horse pull.
If a horse has been badly spoiled you
should hitch him to the empty wagon,
and'pull il around while on level ground;
then put on little load, and increase II
gradually, carressing as before, and in
a short time you will have good work

December of that year, forty days from

warded them to Philadelphia. The

profit, as each voyage was on his own
account. This was the rude beginning
of regular commercial TRANSACTIONS be-

THE RAT NU,s,Ncr Catching rats IL
oTs.u urmcult, as old rats are proverb'
tally cunning. Laying around poison
is dangerous not alone, but also object
tiopSble, for the reason that rats may
dieat inaccessible spots and contami'
nate the atmosphere with the we'll
known detestable odor. A better plan
has been adopted by one of our cores
pondents, by which he takes advantage
of the cunning habits Of the rats. He
covers the floor neaf the rat hole with
thin layer of moist caustic> potash
when the rats walk on this it makes
their feet sore; these they lick with
their Tongues, it makes their mouth;
sore, and the result is that they shur
their locality not alone, but appear tc
tell all the neighboring rats about it
and eventually the house is abandoned
by them, Notwithstanding the neighbor

Parents and Teachers at the sssth-
General Lee.


The Educational Association of Vir
ginia recently appointed committee to
prepare a address on their behalf,
"urging q hearty cooperation with
teachers in matters of instruction, dis
cipline, &c" The committee, in their
report drawn by General LEE, come to
the following sensible conclusions:
l. The parent, after committing his
child to the teaching of another, should
continue to manifest an affectionate in
terest in his improvement by constant
inquiry and encouragement.
2. The supplying of young persons
while absent from their homes, with
needless money and the permission to
contract debts, are to be reprobated, as
tempting to sinful prodigality and
multiplying the dangers of contracting
the habits of vice.
3. The proper authority Of teachers
must be firmly sustained by parents.
4. Every young person should be in
formed by his parents that he must use
diligence to profit by his studies, or else
must be compelled to make himself nse-
full to society by actual labor i'll some
humber sphere. And last, an unwor-
thy parent cannot reasonably expect
the teacher, against the current of his
wrong example, to form his son into a
worthy man.

H.nacrfal Ruin. in siam.

The Paris Reriep of Architecture pub
fishes an account of some wonderful ru-
ins at Ancor Wat, in the Kingdom of
Siam, which have only lately become
known to Europeans. The structures
were the work of some unknown dynas-
ty in remote antiquity. They cover o
circle of ten or twelve leagues in diam
eter. NJ. Cesar Daily, who furnishes the
Reriep with an account of the ruins,
says: 'The most celebrated monuments
of ancient or modern Europe are mere
barracks compared with these, while
our palaces and vasilicas, the Vatican
and the Coliseum, are little better than
dog kennels in comparison" He con-
tinues:

that I might have to descend the steps

The first effect which the sight of these
monuments produced upon me was one

on an eminence. Arrived at the sum-
nit, l enjoyed the sight of the ruins.
There are in localities which have not
penetrated, palaces of a height and
grandeur truly colossal. With field
glass I examined the details. The arch
itectural richness is unrivaled, and
they extended into the territory of
Cambodia, distance of ten or twelve
leagues. Picture to yourself hew Paris

stones, scattered over diameter of two
or three leagues, ut the utmost. Here
there are on the ground, and below its
surface, marble already hewn in sutfi-
cient quantities to build, even as the
giants have built here, all the cities of
the universe. have seen the leg of a
statue, the great toe of which was
eleven times the length of my hunting
rifle. 1t Is. in marble like the rest; in
fact there is no other stone near except
the pieces of colored marble used for
borders, and for the eyes of the statues.
There are pedestals of steps reft of their
statues, which are more lofty and larg-
er than Saint Germain PAuxerrOis.
Think of octagonal pyramids cut off at
the middle, and all in marble.

to-day.
The disorder appears to be raging
with fearful effect in Minnesota, as the
following mortuary statistics will show:
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, April 2.-The Demo
cratic city ticket was elected to-day by
about 1000 majority.
They are also terribly afflicted with
modification" in Wisconsin. The
slaughter is terrific.
MADISON, Wis., April AT the char
ter election to-day, the Democratic
ticket was elected by 25O majority. Hon.
A. s. Sanborn was elected Mayor.
The people of Milwaukee have like

seems to have been remarkably severe.
MILWAUKEE, April 2,-The munich
pal election to-day resulted in the cleo
tion of 1.-THE Democratic ticket by 1900
majority. Hon. f. O'Neill was elected
Mayor.
Perhaps the most terribly infected
district is that of Cleveland, Ohio. The
Copperheads of that vicinity arc said to
have modified" to decidedly danger
ous and disagreeable extent. They had
it bad. The following is the report of
the Health Board:
CLEVELAND, April AT the munich
pal election yesterday, the Democratic
candidate for Mayor was elected by 300
majority.
SECOND DISPATCH.
CLEVELAND, April AT the charter
election in this city yesterday, the Dem
ocrats elected their candidate for Mayor,
Stephen Buhrer, by 500 majority, and
gained two members of the city council
from wards heretofore overwhelmingly,
Republican. The Democratic gain over
the vote of last fall is about thirteen
hundred. This is the first election of a
Democratic Mayor in six years. The
Democrats think that their victory is o
remarkable and significant one.
Heaven help the land if this disorder
continues.to spread with its present
rapidity. Modified Copperheadisn,'
we understand, is always followed by
mortified Radicalism. The modifica-
tion of the one induces the mortifica-
ton of the other. There is a we'll au-
thenticated case of the latter on Quincy
street at this present writing.
