The Prairie du Chen Union re-
ports that the crop has been greatly
damaged by the late severe rains, and
that great fears are felt that wheat
and oats will be so rank that they
will fall down and be lost.

that corn in that country is looking
rather poorer than is usual at this

The Brodhead Independent reports
that on Wednesday last W.Strawser
entered the office of DIR. L. e. Towne
and fired two shots at him with a
revolver. Mr.. P.(J. Clawsen being
near by, rushed upon Mr.. Strawser
at the peril of his own life, threw
him to the floor and disarmed him of
two revolvers. The cause Of Straw
ser's criminal intent seems to have
been some grievance which he claims
to have sustained through the Doc

wife. His grievance, however, is
probably due to an oyerheated rimag-
nation, induced by two much whis-

BRAN FOR MILK Cows.--Plain bran or
ahipstuff, is one of the very best kinds of
food to increase milk. Why, we do not
know. 1t is not fattening. A steer could
not be fattened on bran alone, and COW, if
fed on the best of hay and bran alone, might
fall off in her yield, unless her strength and
condition were kept up 10y Indian meal or
other strong food. II there is anything in
which there would seem to be no strength, it
is bran-the mere hull of wheat. 1t is not
stimulating, ike brewers grain, and can
certainly do no harm, if it does no good !;
and yet any farmer who will make the ex-
pertinent will find-at least we have found
that a COW being otherwise kept in proper
condition, her yield of milk will be very
considerably increased by giving her, twice
a day, feed of pure bran. The fact is
patent, although we are not able to oexplain it.
If there is ary one article, which, while
keeping up the health and strength of the
COW, will also increase the supply of rich,
healthy milk, in our experience it is cotton
seed cake meal. We have found this to
have great effect on the milk secreting or
gans. The cows, at first, do not seem to
relish it, and it should be mixed with some
other feed, but they soon come to ike it,
andwe have never seen any bad effects in
any way

The Foot of a Horse

The Auburn News, of recent date con-
tanned a communication from r. c. Farga-
son, mechanism Of the foot of horse. He
says: The external covering of the foot Is
divided into four parts, namely the walls,
bars, sole and frog. The external or wall
serves to defend the sensitive tissues within
the wall or hoof and is composed of small
flaments or hollow tubes, consolidated IN
such manner as to preserve the canals ds-
tinct. These canals constitute the excrc-
mentions, outlets Of the boot, from which
morbid material finds outlet. and IN these
are found vessels by which horn is secreted
or produced. The bars are continuation
of the external wall just described they form
an angle at the heels, which terminates
tow ards the toe; they thus serve to
give strength and durability to the hoof,
and also to prevent contraction at the heels.
When these bars are cut away or demol-
ished by means of the buttress then the foot
often goes to rack and ruin The soul is
much more elastic than the crust, and is a
medium of the sensitive faculty. through
which, together with its power of elasticity
the percussion of the foot against the ground
is regulated The frog is much more elias
tic than either Of the parts just described
and any unnecessary pairing thereofis mon
strous evil. On the internal posterior of
the allowed named parts we find a set of
beautiful leaves, resembling those found in
the under surface of "a mushroom. Their
number is five hundred. These articulate
with : ike number given off from the sens-
tives tissues of the foot proper, each leaf
having two sides and an edge, and form
series of articulations numbering three thou
sand. The whole snrface of these articula-
tions measures four square feet, hence the
horse having four feet, his body rests on
sixteen square feet of surface, all contained
within his hoofs

THE INTERNAL REVENUE.

The Milwaukee ,Seatinel says: "The
revenues during the past three months
are augmenting SO favorably that it is
now supposed that the amount will reach
during the fiscal year S475, 100000 The
estimate was $I45, 100000. Since the
election of Grant there has been more
honest collection of the revenue, because
that was one of the issues which the peo-
pie decided. Since his Inauguration the
improvement is more visible. because he
is roofing out all the thieves In the whisky
and the tobacco service. The closing up
of these sluiceways is filling the public
chest with the taxes which the people
demand that whisky and tobacco shall
pay. From the hour Grant accepted the
nomination he was resolved that the
law should be enforced for the collection
of the whisky and the tobacco tax.
With the fearful amount of corruption
which pervades the whole country, this
was thought to be an impossibility, but
Grants experience after two months of
labor in oiiing the machinery, in getting
the right kind of hands to work, is PROV
ing that the whisky and tobacco tax can
be collected, and in so doing he is laying
the foundation for a reduction at the
next session of Congress, OF many of these
taxes which are now severely felt by the
mass of the people. All men could read
lily perceive that there could be no further
relief from taxation until the excise on
whisky and tobacco was collected. That
was the sine qua non.
johnson. surrounded as he was by u
corps of whisky-drinking copperhead of
ficials, would never have collected the
whisky tax, even had it not been more
than twenty cents per gallon. 1t was
against their principles that whisky
should pay a higher tax than sugar, tea
CT coffee. They believe it TO be a neces-
sary OF life, and hence they were constant
ly trying to weaken all the efforts of the
government to obtain its full dues.

A Washington dispatch of the l3tl

"A Washington dispatch OF the 18th
says: Some important facts have just
leaked out in an official form, regarding
the return Of Minister Reverdy johnson
from England, and the course he pursued
while there In negotiating the Alabama
claims treaty. 1t appears that 1t is al
together mistake that President Grant
asked for his immediate return in March
last. Gu the contrary, on March 81,
Mr.. johnson telegraphed Secretary Fish
that he was ready to tender his resigna-
ton, to take effect at such time as the
President should designate. By direction
of the latter, Secretary Fish replied that
his resi- gnation would be accepted, to take
effect when Mr.. johnson S successor ar
rived in London. The latter formal
letter OF resi- Equation was at once forward
ed. and In this letter he says that he
desired to call President Grant attention
to the fact that official documents in the
State Department will show that he
(Johnson) had literally executed the in
structions Of that department In negotia-
ting that treaty, and that the President
aud Mr.. Seward had both thanked him
for his success in negotiating on the basis
submitted by this government.

WITH SUPPLEMENT.
THE VIRGINIA ELECTION,

The President has issued his proclama-
ton, fixing a day and prescribing the
manner, for submitting the proposed new
Constitution of Virginia to vote of the
people. The Constitution of Virginia,
as framed by the convention, was intend
ed by the majority of that convention to
be submitted to the popular vote as a
whole, and to be accepted or rejected as
such. twas intended to force the peo.
pie to accept it as an entirety, or remain
under military authority. Had the con.
stitution been thus submitted at the time
the convention adjourned, there can be nc
question that it would have been reject
ed by the people One effect of adopt.
ing it, as it stands, would be to perpetu-
ate political power and authority in the
hands of very small number of persons,
making them sort of an official aristoc-
racy to the exclusion. not only of the
large majority of the people, but of a
much better class of men.
Under the authority given him by the
act of Congress passed just before the ad
journment, the President has provided
that the election for or against the consti-
tuition shall take place on the 9Th of July
next. He also submits to separate votes
the fourth clause Of Section l Article 8,
and the seventh section Of the same arti-
Gle Of said constitution. These clauses
disqualify, virtually, every white person
residing within the rebel lines during the
rebellion; and will, # adopted, confne
the eligibility of Office to those who had
no opportunity of aiding the rebellion, or
who have moved into Virginia since the
war closed. Without these clauses the
new cons titution would probably at this
time be accepted by the people generally
and the President has done wisely, though
opposed by the extreme men of Vir-
ginia, in giving the people the privilege
of adopting the constitution with or with
out these sections, as they may prefer.
10 arbitrarily require them to accept
such disfranchisement without the privi-
lege of voting against the same, would
have resulted in refusal to vote at all
by the larger class of the population.
The time for such wholesale distranchise-
ment has long since passed away, and no
reconstruction upon such basis will ever
be lasting. Unless the late rebels can be
trusted without iron-clad oaths, they do
not deserve to be trusted with them
Oaths are the least protection to the
State. Unless the majority OF the men
politically disfranchised by these claus
es of the Virginia Constitution, are fit to
be trusted with political privileges again,
then Virginia is not ripe for reconstruc-
ton, but should be continued yet longer
under military government.
