Brick Pomeroy south.

BRICK PoMBHof recently sent an adver-
tisement of his paper t0 Democratic
sheet, the Water Valley (Miss.) Eagle, for
insertion. The editor gives II TO him.
Ever since the close Of the war, Pome-
roy has been more Southern than the
Southern people themselves. His Ian
guage and bearing has seemed constantly
to claim that he understood our rights and
wrongs better than we did ourselves Ce-.
tainly, he has been a bigger blackguard in
his Falstaffian maintenance of our cause
than any Southern man We know of. This
has disgusted every intelligent Southern
man who ever read his paper; and now,
we are happy to say, that Brick Pomcroy
is no longer an apostle of even our most
illitcrate mudsille,' ..rrt.s.
OF all the coarse, halfeducated charla-
tans, who have regarded the newspaper as
cheap short cut to fame who have
lowered the standards of journalism, hum
bugged our people out of their hard earned
money by pandering to the very lowest
tastes, passions and prejudice of poor hu-
man nature, this unblushing 'Pompey

he appropriately calls himself, is the

jaundice, the measles, the break bone fever
and the toothaohe, all at Que time, and felt
sick besides. The Democracy are In very
much such bad way. The are sweating

highway Of politics under weary load OF

9Virer insists that II must be liQuidatcd In
paper. Northwestern Democrats make
FREE trade a test of party fealty; Pennsyl.
Vania Democrats raise the counter cry that
q high protective tariff is the only true
creed. California Democrats demand the
exclusion Of John Chinaman from the
Union Southern Democrats require that
he shall be admitted to our shores in un.
restricted number, as the only means of
saving the country. The faithful in Vir.
ginla are making ready to swallow the
Fifteenth Amendment with cheerful alac
rity the faithful in Ohio dcnounce the
same proposition IA snlonstrousin inception
and consequences. The party In the
North is shouting itself hoarse In opposi.
tion to negro suffrage; In the South, the
same franchise Is regarded as the only
true, trustworthy and correct policy. Ev.
cry State has its own platform, and no
two agpee. Any Democrat can be every
thing by turns, and nothing long, yet re-
main all the time In full accord with a
large section Of the Democracy. All this
makes easy work for Republicans Look.

Shoes for Striking or Cutting.

A GREAT number of horses are in the
habit of striking one leg against another
and great deal of ingenuity has been at
different times exercised in search of q
remedy Tor this very troublesome practice.
Both the fore and hind legs are subject to
cutting, the latter, perhaps, most frequent.
ly but in them il is confined TO the fet-
lock joint, whereas, in the fore legs, the
horse may hit either the fetlock, the leg,
just above the pasterns, or Just under the
knee, where it is called speedy cut, from
its occurring chiefly in fast action.
1t is advisable before applying romedy
TO ascertain if possible, the cause, and the
part which strikes, whether the shoe or the
foot, and, if the latter, what part of it.
Many horses strike from weakness, and
cease to do so when they gain strength
and condition This is more particularly
observable with young horses Others cut
from a faulty conformation of the limbs
which are sometimes too close to each
other and sometimes the toe is turned toe
much out, or too much in; when the toe
is turned in, the horse usually cuts Just
under the knee.
The objects to be kept in view, in shoe
ing such horses, must be to remedy, as
much as we can, the faulty action, and ia
remove, If possible, the part which cuts
The part of the foot which strikes is gen.
orally between the toe and the inside quar-.
ter, sometimes the inside quarter itself, but
very rarely the heels of the shoe. If the
horse turns his toe in, in all probability
he wears the inside of the shoe most; and
If so, II should be made much thicker than
the outside. If the contrary, the outside
heel should be thicker than the inside.
The shoe should be beveled off on the in
side quarter which should also be free
from nails ...-
In the hind legs we often find that a
three quarter shoe will prevent cutting
when other plans fail for here the part
which cuts is not situated so forward as
in the forelegS so that the removal of the
iron altogether from the inside quarter
will often accomplish our aim. 1t some
times happens that every plan we can
adopt will not prevent cutting and then
the only resource is the adoption of boots.
