Our city, though young 10 years,

and institutions, is located on the ta-

the Missouri river at high water, said

at from $4,000 to 10000 souls, inclu
ding a Floating" populace of one
tenth the latter number. Tho streets
are wide aud-dccp-bottomless, l
might say. The remedy for muddy
streets is soon to be applied in the
shape Of fStaGord Paving. Farnham,
one of the principal business streets,
boasts of rail road with modern
cars running thereon, which is an
improvement in name if not in real

private, are of modern structure, the

Laming Horses.

THE horse is one of the most powerful,
ambitious and sensible of domestic ami
mails, andyet in acertainsense, is far from
being hardy one. In this respect the
horse is not equal to the rough and tumble
usage which the mule or even the OK can
bear without exhibiting marked signs Of
the severe discipline to which they have
been subjected.
In reviewing the many horses daily
thronging the streets of the larger towns
and cities, the number of defective ones
can scarcely fail of being remarked Some
are ailing in the fore limbs, others in the
mind ones, and not a few in both. This is
not necessarily the result of age, defective
blood, nor Of special hard work, though in
some instances it may be so, but much of
tener is the consequence of careless hand
ling or positive cruelty on the part of
those to whom they are entrusted.
AS has been already intimated, the
horse, in certain sense, is delicate ami
NAL, and if bounced upon in passion
while encountered with harness, and pos
sibiy with load too heavy for easy move
ment, the chances are that efforts to es-
cape punishment will result in such an
over-tension of the muscles as to produce
permanent lameness.
Every one conversant with the rough
and tumble work of the farm, the lumber
forests, stone quarries, the docks and the
like, viii have encountered many difficult
ties In which teams and tesDasters have

Compost Heaps,

IT is often recommended that when ma
inure is thrown into heaps in the field, it
should be covered with a layer of earth to
prevent the escape of the ammonia. The
experiments Of DR. Voelcker, at the Royal
Agricultural College at Cirencester, in
England, have established the fact that
the evaporation of ammonia from large
heaps of manure. goes on but slightly !;
for the reason that, during the decomposi-
ton OF the manure, certain organic acids
are formed at the same time the ammonia
is evolved, and then Immediately unite
with the ammonia, forming non-volatile
compounds. There is an active escape of
ammonia from the interior of large heaps,
where the heat is too great for the chemi-
cal changes above referred to; hdt, as it
approaches the exterior parts of the heap,
where the heat is very much less, the am
monia is completely taken up by the or
ganic acids and retained. There will be
but a trifing escape of ammonia while
there is sufficient moisture to retain it, for
water absorbs and retains many hundred
times its bulk Of ammonia gas at ordinary
temperatures. These non volatile COM
pounds, from being highly soluble in
water, are liable to be washed away by
every rain storm, giving the well-known
brown color to the trainings of manure

A Colony Of Insane People.

PROF. GRTKsrNGER in his work on M en-
tai Pathology and Therapeutics " says :
GA colony of the insane has been formed
in the remarkable Belgian village of Gheel,
in which, for several hundred years past,
lunatics have lived together with the in
habitants, and even resided in their fami-
lies. In former times people frequently
resorted thither to supplicate the aid OF
Dymphue, the patron saint of the insane,
although people are seldom in the habit
now of consulting her oracle. Out of a
population of about 1900, it has from 900
to 1000 inhabitants who are insane. The
lunatics enjoy an amount of freedom
which never could be permitted them
in an asylum. All who are capa-
bic of it share in the mecban-
ical or agricultural employments of the
sane. The treatment in the main is very
mild, and restraint is never made use OF
without previously consulting physician.
Suicide is rare, and the general physical
health so good that in 1888 two of the
patients reached upwards of 100 years of
age Owing to the peculiar situation OF
Gheel, escape by the patients is difficult.
With all its advantages, it has undoubted
drawbacks. But the experiment at Gheel
has proved that the greater number of the
insane do not require the confinement OF
an asylum; that many of them can safely
be trusted with more liberty than those
institutions allow; and that association in
family life is very beneficial to many in
sane natients

AT Mount Clemens Mich, about years
ago, two sisters-in-law got into dispute
over baking they were engaged in, and
vowed.never to speak to each other again.
They have lived in the same house since
then, eating at the same table, and en-
gagged in work side by side but they have
never once addressed remark to each
other, or. in any way recognized each
others presence. +
A CONVICT, lately released from the Ver-
mont State Penitentiary, after nearly two
years service, carried out with him neat
box, of his own manufacture, six by nine
inches, composed of over 1000 different
pieces, made by himself, and filled with
many small articles nicely manufactured
by other convicts from the bones OF the
beef which supplied their dinner
A FEW days ago a man engaged in re-
sinking, in the Caseliffi Cave, near Du-
buque, came across 9 piece of bread that
must have formed an extra slice in some
miners dinner nearly thirty years ago. Ii
was found fifty feet below the surf e., and
in dry dirt that has not been disturi ed for
at least that length of time The finder
says it was almost fresh enoughto eat.
A LYoNNEsE merchant, named Tran
chant, lost all his money contending with
the tiger Of Homburg, and the. bank in
commiseration gave him 40 francs to leave
the place. Themoney took him to Weisba-
den, where he shot himself The bank al
ways advances this sum from policy, when

that he shall leave town at once. 1t is

players to have people constantly COM

In Putnam county, New York, the rhi-
noceros of Van Amburg's menagerie es,
capped, and took refuge in pond. The
animal cost about $4,000 and the keepers
we're aghast at the prospect of losing it.
The dog "Jack," of the menagerie, was
sent into the water after the monster. The
rhinocerous disappeared under the water
and remained some time, but finally came
up some distance off. The dog made for
him, and he for the dog. The dog lodged
and got the rhinoceros by the ear. A
sharp fight ensued, the rhinoceros below
ing like q bull calf. At length the rhino-
ceros was secured.

Prussing's Vinegar.


We would call the attention of our read
ers to the advertisement of Prussing's
Vinegar. Being free from vitriol and
other poisonous acids with which the
cheap vinegar, especially that from the
East, is adulterated, it is justly celebrated
for it's purity and healthfulness. The
good housewife knows its strength, and
the epicure its flavor; the chemist is
aware that it is pure, and the general pub
lie acknowledge it to be the cheapest and
best article in the market. Pickle makers
prefer it to all other brands, as it never
moulds though it certainly does sour on
them. At whatever fair Mr.. Prussing has
exhibited his vinegar he has invariably re-
ceived the first premium for it. Having
been established for the past twenty years
he has succeeded in erecting the largest
works of the kind in the United States,
yet we are told he can scarcely supply the
demand, as those who use his vinegar will
have no other.-D00enport Democrat.
