people utterly abhor the sug question of re-

public sentiment of America allowed such
a suggestion to come from public men was
enough to tarnisl the commercial honor.
and in the estimation of foreign capitalists,
to run stream of quicksand under the
very corner stone Of our national credit
This is the main reason why our Govern

ly three per cent. are Mt par; and this too,
Notwithstanding the fact that the grea,
masses of the American people are thor

farthest from Their thoughts, and in spite

Ben. Wade.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati COM
merciat. who has been visiting Ashtabula,
Ohio, the home of Ben. Wade, writes as
follows of the acting Vice President:
He is self made man. an original think
er, and perhaps the best informed man now
in public life in this country. His parents
were among the poorest people in Massa-
chusetts, and he never had bat seven days
schooling; yet. the age of 81. he had
read vast number of books, mastered the
Euclid, and was well versed III philosophy
and science. lie read the Bible through
in a single winter by the light of pine
torches in his wood -ehopping calm. He
read much and reflected on all ho read
His grandfather on his mothers side was
mil lister, and had small but well select
ed library. and to this he was much indebt-
ed in his early youth for much valuable in
formation. Mr.. Wade says the most diff
cult thing to solve lie ever met with was al.
zebra. lie was workingon farm when
he commenced studying it he had no one
to show him, and he read it over so times
without understanding it. Often when
following the plow, he thought for hours
over the mysterious signs and letters. un-

had read them so often they were con
stantly before his eyes as clearly as If they
were painted upon canvas, but he could
make nothing out of them. Gradually he
began to comprehend them and he has not
forgotten the propositions to this day he
then solved. Mr.. Wade is still hard stu
dent, and what he studies is Thoroughly mas
tered before he lays it down. A SIM gle sam.
pie will suflice to show his application
Last summer we We're with him when he
was studying Cpsar's campaign he ha(
Napoleon's Life of the great General. and
although the Senator rose early and wen
to his study, and continued there unit
night he did not average more than 20 ol
30 pages per day. Sometimes he w0ult
read IA page twice or three times over
then all the battles were studied and com
pared with other authorities, bridges wer,
carefully measured and distances calcula
ted, maps and charts consulted, the notes
of the author examined and compared witt
the commentaries, and everything done
that might give a clear and comprehcn-
sive idea Of the subject under investi gatiol
Mr.. Wade ought to, and 10 doubt doe;
understand the Campaigns of Caesar
The habits of the Senator are peculiar
He rises at daylight in summer and in win
ter. and makes up the fires in tho house
then he goes to his office, makes the fires
sweeps it out, dusts the furniture, and goe:
to the stable to look after his horses.--
When he returns. he wakes up the family
and then goes to his study and reads unit
called to breakfast After breakfast Ii,
takes walk of two miles, and returns t,
his study and reads until o'clock in tho
afternoon. When the mail comes in he
goes to the post Office, gets his own mail

New SYSTEM OF SHoEING HORSES
The Paris correspondence of the daily TEL
egraph describes new process OF shoe
ing horses, which Is coming into general
use in France: ..Instead Of the wide and
heavy plate hitherto fixed under the horse :
foot. NJ. Charler fastened narrow iron
band in rebate, pared round the lower
external rim Of the hoot. The latter is an
furnished with resisting barder. by which
it is protected against wear. allowing AT the
same time all the other parts of the sole to
keep their natural hold on the ground, aud
thus to preserve the normal form and eon-
stitution of the organ. 1t is easy to see
that .his PERIPLENrAlRE mode OF sho ing
as it is called, is simple enough. The new
shoe is about two-thirds lighter than the
old one, which proves great relief to the
animals, besides preserving them from most
OF the usual diseases and accidents of the
foot NJ. Chardcr SAYS that III the natural
state. SO long as the side of the hoot does
not split, the whole member wears well;
therefore the problem to be solved merely
consisted III preventing the hoof splitting
and in preserving the rest of the foot SO
he simply gives tan artificial border, strong
cr than the natural one, but without com
pressing, damaging, or torturing the foot,
