Ground HnN for Cattle Feed.

"For some time past have been max.

liberty of communicating TO your club

food for live stock, it is easily and pro-

hay, however, the case is different, for
when fed in sufficient quantities the

short lengths has to an extent become

should 90 still further, and grind the
hay as we now grind oats and corn. II

VANDERBILT, JR.
The EiIlionaire's Son in the Dnu-
geous Of Ludlow Street.


Vanderbilt, Jr., the son of the brenzed
mariner, was arrested the other day and
lodged in Jail for giving check upon
a bank in which he had no money. His
consignment to the dungeons of Ludlow
street the New York Sun says, led to the
disclosure of transaction with Messrs.
Z. V. Haughwout d Co., extensive i'm
porters of silverware, to whom he had
given another worthless check. The
check which young Vanderbilt foisted
upon them was in payment for set OF
magnificent crockery.
Recently young Vanderbilt attempted
to 90 into bankruptcy. He stated his
debts at over 100000 Among others
to whom be owed various sums OF money
was the Hon. Horace Greeley. The
philosopher was visited by young VAN
derbilt just when he was writing one
of those pleasant little articles on po!lt-
ical economy.
81 have come to get your endorsement
on note. Mr. Greeley" said Vanderbilt.
The philosopher heard the request
with c0mposure. His mind, however,
was engrossed with his work.
Mechanically he took the check which
was presented to him and endorsed it.
Young Vanderbilt went direct to bank
and undertook to get the check cashed-
No one could endorse the endorses
,ment. Young Vanderbilt said it was
the name of Horace Greeley. Every
person in the bank tried to decipher it.
Then an aged and trustworthy clerk
was dispatched to the Tribune office with
the check.
"My God, man, what do you want ~
inquired the politico. economic philoso-
pher, greatly annoyed when the clerk
interrupted him
as that your signature T.
81 think it is, replied the philosopher,
without looking up.
"Are YOU sure it isW
81 can't say for certain" replied the
philosopher, still bending over his work.
81 must know fnr certain whether it
is or not"
Mr.. Greeley took the check in his
hand, scrutinized it, and banded it back,
saying, at is all right; that is my en-
dorsement."
Young Vanderbilt received the money
from the bank, aud when the check be-
came due it was not paid, and Mr. Gree
ley had to pay it.
This came to the knowledge of the
elder Vanderbilt, and forthwith he post
ed to the Tribune office. He found the
philosopher as his son had found him,
busily whiting, but this time he was
preparing a lecture.
81 am come to say, Mr.. Greeley" said
| tho ol1 EnmmOlorp Hrhat | will not

Mr.. Greeley looked up from his manu-
script, and mildly remarked, 81 did not

Care of Horses.

All hardships will tell upon a horse,
as upon any animal, man included. 1t
may not tell at once, but it will in the
future. A horses life may be shortened
or prolonged, as we have carefully noted
in many instances.
Richard Kinter, an old pioneer of
Stark, used to keep his horses till they
were thirty years of age and upwards;
and they would at thirty do a good
days work. They were fat and in good
healthy condition. A span of horses on
the old homestead, were worn out at the
age of eighteen, and died in a year or
two after. They were rather celebrat-
ed team of brown, spitfire geldings, the
best in the neighborhood. But they
were the only or nearly the only team
on the farm, and they did an immense
amount of work. Highly worked, highly
fed, ruined them. One of the horses
became blind, first at one eye, then at
the other also; and so continued to
work. The other got a thick leg,
grease and both were stiff and bent.
Other teams did nearly the same work
with better usage, that is, less strainihg,
less hard and long service at time,
consequently a chance to recruit in the
iuterims of labor. Here was no excess
of work or continued labor. There was
cheerfulness and willingness, and o
good lively appearance, with also a bet
ter condition, making the horse enjoy
his work. To make slave of brute is
like making a slave of man; it is to be
avoided.
A horse willing to do work, and capa-
bic from good treatment, will not only
do nearly or quite the same work, but
do it much longer; and it is better to
have the last five years of a"well-broke Q"
horse, than the first FIVE years of new
ly-tutored one; there is more work and
more reliability.
We can strain machine and abuse
it, or we can oil it and take care of it.
In the one case we get double the bene-
fit, more or less; in the other we have
our broken down horse. We need not
apply the moral here; it is too evident.
The merciful man takes care of his
beast; and he has the consciousness OF
doing this as we'll as the benefit Utica

Goes Marching on.

The Detroit Free Press, speaking OF
the connection of Miss Kate Field with
the purchase of the John Brown farm,
says:
What they propose to do with their
new elephant the public is not informed,
any farther than, ,as Miss Field says,it is
to be made historic ground and held as
an evidence that there is such thing as
"poetic Justice" Not understanding
the difference between poetic justice
and any other Justice, we are unable to
comprehend the real object of the pur.
chase from the explanation. Wedo not
think there was anything in either the
moral or political character of John
Brown that should make his grave an
object of solicitude, and there certainly
was not in the manner In which he ter
minated his existence. The evidence
given before the Kansas Investigating
Committee, of which William A. How
ard, of this city, was leading member,
went far to show that John Brown,
while in Kansas, was not only guilty OF
horse stealing, but of murder. His raid
into Virginia, however, much men may
differ as to the honesty of the motives
which prompted it, was as palpable a
violation of law as any man was ever
guilty of, and he paid the penalty of the
law of Virginia, where the offense was
committed, attached to his acts. He
may have been a martyr to his convic.
tons of duty, but as those convictions
ran counter 20 the laws of his country
and the peace and good order of society,
we cannot but deem these efforts to
place his name among those which
should be held as sacred among our peo.
pie, as disgraceful to the authors. II
John Brown conceived it to be his duty
to steal herses, commit murder, disturb
the peace of SGate by armed invasion
of its territory as a means of advancing
his political ideas, we see no reason why
his memory should be cherished as
sacred even by his party friends.

= Naked Woman Dragged Through


,yrom the Pittsburgh Gazette, November -.
Yesterday afternoon. the blush of
shame was called to the checks of hun
dredS of pedestrians on Federal street,
Allegheny, who witnessed a disgusting
exhibition of female depravity and deg
radiation, coupled with an outrageous
assumption of authority and lack OF
moral decency and consideration on the
part of two mock custodians of the
peace, yclept city police. We refer to
the dragging forth, in broad daylight,
from her home of sin and iuiquity, the
person of the notorious" "Mollie Beech"
She had eyideHtly been aroused
from bed of shame and
had no garb to cover her naked
ness, other than night robe, which
was torn and pulled TO pieces 10y the
brave officers charged with making the
arrest. 1t was in this condition, in her
bare feet, her limbs and body fully ex-
posed to the sight sf the many virtuous
men and women who were walking on
the pavements of Federal street, that
this poor, frail and weak creature was
fairly dragged from the corner of Church
avenue to the tombs. Decent men and
women turned away their heads in sor-
row and disgust, and no one witnessed
the sad and revolving exhibition of law
and morality who did not openly de-
nounce and censure the brutal conduct
of the police. Mayor Drum has ordered
an investigation into the affair at a
meeting of the Police Committee of
Councils, to be held tomorrow evening.

nifty being given to the present requests
for prayer, large number improved it,
among them Mr.. -, of Shelby, Ohio,
who asked special prayer for son who
had wandered from home aud from
whom no tidings had been received for

The bondholdcrs' policy which thou
sands of Republican farmers voted in
October to sustain is working slowly
but surely. Wheat is going down,
down, down. In the Newark market,
which generally keeps breadstuffs as
high as anywhere else in Central Ohio,
the ruling price for wheat has fallen to
90 cents per bushel. Dealers talk higher
figures, bat they don't pay them except
when compelled. Ninety cents in
greenbaCks is equal (at present rates.

years ago wheat commanded more than

FOOLS in Place.

Farmers who have been in tho prac-
tice Of leaving their tools exposed TO
the weather the past season, should en-
p!Oy the first leisure evening in comput-
ing the relative advantages of exposure
and shelter. Different implements are
variuusly affected. A crow. bar is only
rusted by leaving it in the field; but
that rust sticks to it all the next year,
and makes rough and unpleasant hand
ling. A spade and hoe are rusted at
the BLADE, and hence do not run bright,
easily aud clean through the soil after
wards: and the handle ct the socket be-
comes partly decayed, and finally
breaks off. Figure up the cost
of allowing 2 good hoe to become
rusty, so that the man who uses it af.
forwards has 20 knock eff the adhering
soil hundred and fifty times in day,
or 1900 times in ten days, besides doing
only two. thirds of days work. Would
it not be cheaper to carry it in at night 7
