The Disaster at Indianapolis ---EaiOt in Phil

Special to Memphis Appeal
ISDIASAPoLIs, October The morn
ing papers give the number of killed at
twenty-seven, and wounded tifty-six, in
the late disaster. The wounded doubtless
exceed that number, as many were taken
away to their homes, and no account has
been made of them. The most of the
dangerously wounded were taken TO the
Indiana Surgical Institute, and are al do
ing well, but three, who will probably
die. The dead are at the undertaker's
Office, and all of them have been recog-
nized.
Il seems to be the general opinion, that
the cause of the explosion was owing to q
want of water in the boiler.

The Cuban expedition, four hundred

Day before yesterday q number of Gu
bans visited Pier No. ri; East River, and
inspected the steamer Europe, which had
registered for Havana, and which had
been watched for number of days BY

During the time she was under tine sur
yeillance of the young Cuban, Messra.
Mallory q Co., of l53 Maiden Lane, this
city, had sent eighty guns TO the pier and
lowered them into the hold of the Europe.
These guns correspond exactly TO the ar
mament sent to Mystic for one of the |
Spanish gunboats there. After the guns |
and gun-carriages, with all necessary TX |
ings, were lowered into the hold OF the |
Europe. several hundred bales of hay, also /
for the Havana market, were loaded, and |
the steamer was ready to sail yesterday. |
Night before last the PeruYian Minister |
sent an agent 20 eommunicsts the above
news to Marshal Barlow, who at once call
ed two United States detectives, and gave
them orders respecting the Europa.
Minister Freyre has taken the necessary |
steps TO prevent the steamer from going |
10 sea, hoping in this manner to get the
OF the Spanish gunboats away
from New York, and into Havana harbor.

Care of Working Oxen in Summer.

All farmers who are accustomed
to keeping oxen for farm work are
aware of their value, but large
number of them do not treat the
poor animal with that care and
kindness that his patience and la
Dor Justly entitle him to. A very
good days work may be obtained
from a pair ofoxen in the warmest
weatherdf they are put at it in the
right hours. They should be put to
work at four o'clock in the morning
and taken off at ten. From that
time until four o'clock in the after
noon they should be permitted to rest
and feed in shaded and airy place.
If fed on grass, it should be cut and
brought to them so that they need
not be compelled to Craze in the sun.
They may then be worked from four
until seven or eight o'clock in the ev-
ening, that will give nine or ten work
ing hours a day, leaving them eight
hours to feed and rest at night.
By deviding their time i'll this way
they may work every day, and if
properly fed and watered, will keep
tn good condition. This arrange
ment of time may not suit the taste
or convenience Of the man or boy
who has to work with them, IS he
would like to lay in bed two or three
hours longer in the morning and he
can stand the heat of the sun better
than the oxen; but the arrangement
would be as good for him as them.
The only difficulty to he overcome is
the habit of a morning nap; and this
ought to be gracefully Yielded to fol
humanlty's sake.

Make the Horses Work.

Horses were designed as beasts OF
burden, to relieve mankind from IA
tiguing drudgevy. 1t does not hurt
them to work hard, if they are treat
ed kindly. 1t is not the hard draw
ing and pOnderous loads that wear
out horses and make them poor,
baulky and worthless; but it is the
hard driving, the worry by rough
and inhuman drivers, that uses up
more hOrsetlesh, fat and muscle, than
all the labor team performs. Con
slider the ponder0us loads that teams
are required to draw every day, and
