( CERTAIN CURE FOR FOUNDER As
soon as you discover that the horse is
| fOundered, take him to the nearest
branch or stream of water and tie him
in it, standing the water nearly up to
his belly-his head being so high that
he cannot drink. If the weather is
warm, let him stand in the stream sew
eral hours then take him out, rub his
legs thoroughly to promote circulation,
and again tie him in the water, if he is
still lame. BY repeating this process
two or three times, the horse will be
effectually cured. If the weather is
cold when the horse is foundered, that
is, if it is in winter, the horse must not
be allowed to stand in the water more
than about twenty minutes at time,
he should be taken out and his legs
rubbed diligently till they become dry
and warm and the circulation of the
blood made active, and this process
must be repeated till the horse is cured,
which will be generally within twenty
four hours. This remedy will cost
nothing, can do no possible harm, and
will in every instance, cure, if the dis
ease has not been too long standing.
Don't be afraid to try it.-R,trol World.

PERSEVERANCE Henry Clay thus
spoke: Constant, perservering applica-
ton will accomplish anything. To this
quality if | may be allowed to speak
Of myself, do L owe the little success
which / have attained. Left in early
life to work my own way alone, with
out friends or pecuniary resources and
with no more than a common educa-
ton, saw that the pathway before
me was steep and rugged, and the
height upon which l had ventured to
fix the eye of my ambition could be
reached only by toll most severe and a
purpose the most indomitable. But
shrinking from no labor, disheartened
by no obstacles, struggled on. No
opportunity, which the most watchful
vigilance could secure, to exercise my
power, was permitted to pass by unim-
proved.

RATIONs FOR VOTES. Ne

RATIONs FOR NOTES.-The New
York Times republican, says:
"The mayor (by military appoint
ment) of Augusta, Ga, has made a
proposition to the city council that ra-
tions be issued to needy parties depriv-
ed of employment for "voting as their
consciences approved" and that tax
be levied on property-holders for car
rying out this design. This is a very
bad form of confiscation, which will
work far more harm in its effects upon
the black race than upon the whites,
whom it is intended to injure."

NEGRO VOTING IN GEORGIA.

The spectacle presented to the gaze
of the people of this city, on Monday
morning, the first day of the recent
election, says the Augusta Chronicle
and Sentinel, is one which will linger
i'll their memories for years to come.
They saw long line of sable voters,
headed by "ring master" on horse
back, brandishing an old cavalry sabre,
and all marching to the invigorating
music of wheeling fife and the dull
thud of broken-headed drum. These
were the vOters-the intelligent law
makers and executive and legislative
creators of the county of Richmond.
1t will scarcely be doubted that not a
single son of Ham who toilfully trudged
the streets in that molly procession
could read or write, or had the least
idea of the character of a ballot, or who
or for what he was about to vote, save
that Captain Bryant and the boss "driv-
ers' had told him he must vote for the
Radicals. AS this long line of ignOr-
ant, vindicitive and defiant negro vO-
tiers passed through our principal thor
oughfares to the City Hall, where the
III cookery of an election was going on,
every right-minded white man must
have felt that representative govern
ment, founded upon such suffragans,
was not only a solemn mockery, but a
crime against virtue, law, order, peace
and human liberty. The alacrity with
which each member Of the fantastic
procession conformed 10 the different
and frequently repeated orders from
the "boss drivers showed how COM
pIetely they were under the control of
their masters, and how much they es-
teemed it privilege to be thus driven
like brutes through our streets. Up
on reaching the City Hall, ballots were
placed in their hands, and they were
directed to hand them to the same man
and in the same way their driver dis
posed of his. And this is what is
called manhood suffrage, the basis of
constitutional liberty and the salvation
of free government!

GET eout, you nasty puppy-let me
alone, or I'll tell my map cried Sal
Smith to her lover. Jack Jones, who
sat about ten feet from her pulling dirt
from the chimney jam.
81 amt touchi'n Oh you, SAL" re-
sponded Jack.
"Well perhaps you don't mean to
nuther,-do you ?"
"No | don't"
"Cause you are so tarnal scary you
long-legsed, lantern-j n-jawed, slab-sided,
pigeon-toed, gangle-kneed oWel, you
hain't got tarnal bit Of sense, get
along home with you"
"Now, Sal, love you and you can't
help it and eff you don't let me stay and
court you my dady I'll sue yOurn for
that cow he sold him t'other day. By
lingo he said he'd do it."
"Well, look here Jack, if you want to
court me you'd better do it as a white
man does that thing-not set off there
as though as if l was pizenn'
GLOW on airth is that ?''
"Why, side right up here, and hug
and kiss me, as if you really had some
of the bone and sinner of a man about
you. Do you s'pose woman's only
made to look at, you stupid fool you?'
"Well !" said Jack, drawing long
breath, 'if | must must, for | love
you, Saln
"That's the way we do it, old hoss ;
that is acting like a white man orter.'
"Oh Jerusalem and pancakes ~ eX-
claimed Jack, eff this aint better than
any apple-sarse marin ever made, a
darned sight, Sal. Crack-e-e; buckWheat
cakes and 'Iasses amt nowhere long

Here their lips came together, and
the report which followed was like pull
ling of horses hoof out of the mire,
and on the following Sunday they
were married.

THE REAsoN.--At a certain college,
the senior class was under examination
for degrees. The professor of natural
philosophy was badgering in optics.
The point under illustration was that,
strictly and scientifically speaking,
we see no objects, but their images de-
picted on the retina.-The worthy pro-
fessor, in order to make the matter
palmer, said to the wag of the class /:
"Gr. Jackson, did you ever actually
see your father ?" Bill replied, prompt

committee why you never saw your
father" because, replied Mr.. jack

UNGRATEFULC LCHILDREN.--An East
ern proverb which declares that there
are no ungrateful children, is nearer
the truth than it appears. 1t is but
another version of the Biblical maxim !:
"Train up child in the way he should
90, and when he is old he will never
depart from it," The parent who does
really train up child in the way he
should go, is the parent who truly de-
serves the gratitude Of his child, and
he is the only parent who can hope to
receive it in full measure. How many
parents there are, who, after indulging
their children's every desire, are sim
cerely astonished to find them making
no return of love and gratitude. Graft
tude! For an impaired digestion? For
a will uncurbed? For a mind empty d?
For hands unskillful? For a child
hood wasted? For the chance of for
ming a noble character lost? These
are poor claims upon the gratitude of
a child. Bring up your child so that,
at mature age, he has a sound consti-
tuition, healthy desires and an honest
heart, a well-formed mind, good man
ners, and a useful calling, and you may
rely upon his making you such rich
return of grateful affection as shall a
thousand times repay you for the toll
and self-denial which such a training
costs. No-there are no ungrateful
children, when there is anything to be
atnfIIl for

BUSINESS is BUSINESS.

The following anecdotes are told of
w. NJ. Swain, formerly proprietor of
the Philadelphia Ledger:
AS business man he was very rigid
in adherence to what he conceived to
be sound business principles. Never
fix price on another mans goods"
was one of these principles. a paper
dealer met him one day on the street.
"Mr. Swain," said he, 81 have some
excellent white paper of the size of the
Ledger. Do you wish to buy?"
eyes, SIR" was the reply.
"What are you willing to give for
it?" was the next inquiry.
"Precisely the worth of it sir, nei-
ther more nor less, was the rejoinder
ooh, of course. But I mean, Mr..
Swain, what can you afford to give me
for it,"
"Double the price, sir, if 1 chose, but
l Itlon't."
"But, fix the price, sir"
81 never put price on another mans
goods. If you don't know the value
of your own paper you should not dis
pose of it. Ifyou do, you are wasting
my time and your own in idle circum-
locutions to get the advantage Of me.
Tell me your price. If it suits,
well, if not you may find some other
customer"
Business is business, and nothing
should interfere with it, was another
Ofhis business principles. Consequent
ly he would take nothing off the price
of an advertisement on the score of
friendship, or benevOlence, or any 9th
er of the ten thousand petty excuses
made to "nip the printer" Agentleman
once called upon him with an adver-
tisememt of benflit for poor widow
with several helpless children.
GLOW much for the advertisement
under the circustances?
"Just what it comes to-" said Mr..
Swain, business is business sir, chari-
ty is another question"
"But to poor widow, sir, every dol
lar saved is a matter of serious mo-
ment to her family"
Business is business, L repeat, sir.
What l choose to give in charity is my
own private affair. Ny business has
nothing do with it,"
"Then you will take no less:"
"Not cent, sir"
"The gentleman paid the bill very
reluctantly, amounting to perhaps, two
dollars and was going out of the Of
flee rejecting rather severely in his
own mind upon the parsmony of Mr..
Swain, when the latter stopped him.
"Do you know this widow? Is she
honest aud deserving ?''
"She is, sir"
Mr.. Swain, slipped SO bill in the
gentleman's hand, and turning on his
heel. walked away, saving "buSinesS is

..BEHIND THE SCENES

This is a title Of a book by "Mrs.
Keckley. for thirty years slave. but
more recently mOdiste and friend to
Mrs. Lincoln" which will shortly be
published. 1t is pretty literally inter-
spersed with miscellaneous scan. nlGg.,
and will be rich mOrsel for scandal
mOngers. We are treated with dis
plays of feminine jealousy on the part
of Mrs. Lincoln, and of the moral and
religious character of her husband
Mrs LincOln's opinions of generals and
etutc-rncn are given. She says of Chief
Justice Chase, then Secretary of the
Treasury, in conversation with her hus-
band, that she is anything for Chase.
If he thought he could make anything
by it he would betray you tomorrow"
OF Mr.. Seward "It makes me mad to
see you sit still and let that hypocrite
Seward tWine you around his finger as
if you were a skein of thread" Gen
eral Mcclellan she pronounces to- be "a
humbug" General Grant even is not
exempt from the withering criticism of
this worthy lady. eyes, he generally
manages to claim victory, but such a
victory! He loses two men to the enc
my's one. He has no management, no
regard for life. If the war should con-
tinue four years longer, and he should
remain in power, he would depopulate
the North. | could fight an army as
we'll myself. According to his tactics,
there is nothing under the heavens to
in front of the Rebel breast works, to
be shot down as fast as they take their
position, and to keep marching until
the enemy grows tired of the slaugh-
ter. Grant, / repeat, is an obstinate
fool and a butcher" She further adds
that "shOuld Grant ever be elected
would desire to leave the country, and
remain absent during his term Of office. s"
So the General will have, at all events,
one most decided opponent in his
Presidential schemes. Mrs. Keckley,
further on, tells us of her mistress that
''search the world over, and you will
not find her counterpart" On Mrs.
Lincoln's departure from the White
House, subsequent to the death Of her
husband, Mrs. Keckley informs us that
lady ''oWed different store billsamount-
ing to $7O,O00," and that "Mr. Lin
coin knew nothing of these bills, and
the only happy feature Ofhis assassina-
ton was that he died in ignorance of
them.' This secret is disclosed in re-
gard to Mrs. LincOln's debts Gin order
to explain why she should subsequent
ly have labored under pecuniary en-
barrassments." We are also told the
well-worn story of Mrs. Lincoln's "old
clothes" experiences, with the addi-
tion of many private facts connected
with that delectable adventure while,
in an appendix, series of letters from
the widow, purely private and unhesi-
tatingly confidential, are published to
prove the authenticity of what has been
said in the preceding chapters Wash

POOR MEN ARE NOT TAXED

"POOr men are not taxed" said de-
luded workingman ''they can't tax
me, because | am worth nothing :"
Can they not? Before the war, you
paid less than One-hdT for all y0u eat,
drink and acea', than you pay now, and
before the war you had not the sup
port of five millions Of niggers to pro-
vide for, who now eat, drink and wear
at your expense. Taking the cost of
supporting life to-day, and reckless,
wicked, wealth, destroying admin
stration, and the poor white voter in
the ITnitod Statnsy who Is mot worth IA
dollar in the world, is the heaviest
taxed mortal on Gods earth. Sleep
ing or waking well or i'll at labor or
at rest week days and Sundays-the
taxes are being piled on him who IS
not worth a dime, by those above him
in the scale of property, who are worth
thousands and hundreds of thousands.
Remember, you moneyless, honest
toiler, if you eat, drink, wear clothes
if you are warmed and sheltered, you
are thus made to pay your own
taxes and the taxes of the capitalists of
the country also. They are indirectly
thus piled upon you. The great public
debt is a curse to you, if not curse to
the capitalist. Remember this when
you go to the polls next November.
