Gently become interested in gold mines

DIR. Luke Blackburn, who attempted
to introduce yellow fever into the North
ern States, during the war, by means Of
infected clothing, has petitioned Attor-
ney-General Stanberry for permission to
return from Canada to his native land,

answered that he has no power to grant
the request.
-Thad. Stevens is uneasy over SEN
ator Wilson's Southern route, and pub
fishes card in the Chronicle upon the
subject. The card shows that Mr.. Ste
vens is sick and old and not softened in
his earnest desire to punish the leading

Virginians, however, are sure to be made

The Japanese commissioners will
not be presented to the President fol
some days. They broughtwith them ar
immense quantity of baggage, among
which are presents from the Japanese
government to President Johnson, Secre
tary Seward and Gen. Grant. The gift
to Gen Grant consists of magnificent
sword, highly wrought, mounted with
gold and appropriately inscribed. 1t il
said to be very costly. The presents tt
President Johnson and secretary Seward
are said to be equally valuable.
1T is not probable that the publica
tion of the regular monthly statemen
of the public debt for the present month
will be delayed beyond the 1st or I'd o

show reduction in the debt of from
s5, 100000 to $6,O00,0O0. The receipts o
customs and internal revenue for tn
month are about $4,000, 900, one hal
of which being for customs, is in coin

there are 800, 100000 in coin and s14
100000 or more in gold certificates il

THE NEW YORK CONSTITUTIONAL Con-
VRNTIoN.-The New York Constitutional
Convention will stand 81 Republicans to
SO Democrats. The prominent candi-
dates for the presidency of the conven-

None of the members of the Convention

How TO JUDGE OF A HoRsE.-I offer tho
following suggestions, the result Of INV
close observation and long experit nee. IL
the color be light sorrel or ches tnut, his
feet, legs and face white--these are make
of kindness. II he Is broad and fuil he
tween the eyes, he may be depeT ided on M
a horse of good sense, and capable of beino
trained to anything as respects such horses
the more kindly you treat them the better
you will be treated In return. Nor will a
horse of this description stand a whin ~
well fed. IL you want a safe horse,
avoid one that Is dish-faced. He NAV be
so far gentle as not to scare, but he will
have too much 90 ahead in him to
be safe with everybody. If YOU want
a fool, but u horse of great bottom, yet a
deep bay with not a white hair about him.
If his face is a little dashed so much the
I worse. Let no mar ride such a horse that
is not an expert rider; they are always
tricky and unsafe. If you want one that
Will never give out, never buy a large over
grown one. A black horse cannot stand
heat, nor a white one cold. IL you want q
gentle horse. get one with more or less
white about the head, the more the better.
Selections thus made are of great docility
aud gentleness. CHAs. l.. THAYER,

CoALTAR on RATs.-A correspondent of
the American Agriculturist say that rats
dislike coal tar very much, and that he is
in the habit of daubing it about their holes
and runs with good results. Taking the
hint from the suggestion to dip rats in red
paint, he proposes to dip some in coal tar
and let them go. Mr.. Gilbert j. Green says
Goal tar, mixed with sand to the consist
ency of thick mortar, is an eifectual stop
per to rat holes. The process is not patent
ed, and a sure cure is warranted"
ABOUT THE ACE OF HoRsEs.-A short
time ago we met a gentleman from Illinois.
who gave US a piece OIL Conformation in regard
to ascertaining the age of a horse, after he or
she has passed the ninth year, which was
new to us, and will be, we are sure, to most
ofour readers. 1t is this after the horse is
nine years old, a wrinkle comes on the eye
lid at the upper corner ofthe lower lid, and
every year thereafter he has one we'll
defined wrinkle for each year over nine. If.
Tor instance, a horse has three wrinkles, he
Is twelve If four, he is thirteen. Add the
number of wrinkles to nine, and you will
always get it. So says the gentleman; and
he is confident it will never fail. As a good
many people have horses over nine. It is
easily traced out, and the horse dentist
must give up.-Fdrm and Ereside.
