Getting Horses into Condition.

To put horse in the best looking
plight for sale, he should be fed on
grain or corn, which has been soaked
about forty-cight hours, and then kept
on a floor till it has sprouted; il
should lie about six inches thick, and
be turned every four or fve hours, be.
ing watered sometimes to keep it
moist-in short, treat it just tho same
as matters treat barley prior to being
put ON the kiln to dry; barley is the
best grain for horse when sprouted.
Mix one pound ofsulphur, one pound
OF rosin, and two pounds Of fenugreek,
and give two table-spoonfuls every
second or third night, by shaking it
among tho feed or giving it in any
mash the horse is fond of: Four oun-
ces Of antimony mixed with the above,
and give ono tablespoonful, will givo
an increased lustre to the skin, and
will improve the very worst looking
brute in existence. The exercise
should be chiefly walking-no violent
sweating and no long journeys.
When in the stable, on dry food en-
tirely, somo farmers recommend clo-
yer hay made from clover cut when
the seed tegins to shed; but this is
very wrong, for that kind of hay is
wood in the stems, and it has not only
greatly injured the land by standing
until it was old, but has decidedly
injurious effect on the horses-produ-
cling coughing, heaves, swelled heels
and. legs, and inflammation of the
eyes, The ouly way in which it can
be given without dire results, is by
cutting it into chaff and wetting it
served thus, and some meal wixed with
it, there are those in the county who
call it "the perfection hay" Hay
made from new grass will cause horses
to dung rather looser, but when it is
kept to be old hay it ceases to have
that effect, and in England hay kept
till the second year always commands
higher pricr than "ncw hay" In
that country, where grain docs not
ripen till a month later than in Amer
lea, the grass is cut earlier by month
than it is here. For farm work, and
any other slow work, it is not at oil
essential that any great Importance be
attached to any particular method of
feeding or to any particular character
Of food.
Old dry-stemmed grass, when made
into hay, is doubtless best to be cut
up and wettod to assist the digestion;
and meal which has rather q securing
tendency, may help to carry off hu-
mors which would otherwise be en-
gendered. But when good, whole
some. nutritious hay and oats are fed
the horse should eat dry, for the saliva
ID the natural moisture to go into the
stomach with the food, and it is sure
to be much better masticated in that
state. A little good chaf mixed with
oats will, if not wetted, cause horses
to grind the oats closer, 80 that few
will pass through whole,-Countro

Particulars Of the Death Of the Hon.
Henry J. Raymond.

The New York Evening Post O
Friday gives the following account o.
the circumstances attending tho death
of Mr.. Raymond:
Mr.. Raymond, accompanied by his
daughter, went to Greenwood Gene.
tory yesterday afternoon for the pur.
pose of selecting family plot. He
intended to have the body of one ofhis
children who died few weeks ago
removed from the vault and renter
red. He returned to the Times Office
about five o'clock, and remarked to
the associate editors that he never
felt better in his life, except a slight
feeling of fatigue consequent upon his
long walk through the cemetery. He
left the office about 6 o'clock and pro-
ceeded to his residence in West Ninth
street, where he remained until about
8 o'clock to recover from the fatigue
of the afternoon. Mr.. Raymond left
the house about nine o'clock, remark
ing to members of his family that he
had an appointment to attend q polit-
ical meeting, and left homo for that
purpose. He was seen shortly after
wards walking up Broadway, and one
or two friends who stood in front of
Waliack's Theatre noticed his elastic
step and general appearance of robust
health. After attending the meeting
Mr.. Raymond returned to his resi-
dence about eleven o'clock, and as
soon as he had closed the door after
him he fell heavily upon the floor.
None of the inmates of the house
heard the fall, however, having rctir-
ed for the night, and not being aware
of his return. About three o'clock
this morning, one Of Mr.. Raymond's
children became restless, and upon be-
coming fully aroused remarked that
she heard some person breathing
heavily. The persons. in the house
werc Immediately awakened, and on
descending to tho hallway Mr. Ray
mond was found extended on the
floor, entirely un conscious, but breath
ing heavily and apparently with great
difficulty. He was carried to his room
and placed upon bed and physicians
sent for with haste. Four physicians
arrived soon afterwards who examin.
cd him and pronounced him beyond
all medical aid. They also declared
the cause of his death to be apoplexy.
Mr.. Raymond fingered in an uncon-
scious state until five clock, when he
died, surrounded by the members of
his family. He passed away apparent
~ with but little pain.
The news of his death caused much
excitement and very general regret
throughout tho city. All the down
town hotels and newspaper Offices dis
played their flags at halfmast as a
mark of respect.

The Eagle.

GAS an eagle stirreth up her nest,
huttereth over her young, spreadeth
abroad her wings, taketh them,
beareth them on her wings; so the
Lord alone did lead him Chat is
Israel. )-Deut. xxxii: II, H."
The popular sentiment in all ages
has crowned the eagle, king Of birds,
and given him credit for pre-eminence q
in magnanimity, courage, strength
and beauty. According to the an
cient pagan mythology, the eagle was
a sacred bird, and the messenger of
Jupiter.
In defence Of its young, the eagle
exhibits astonishing daring and
strength, not hesitating to attack
men when invading their nests. A
few years ago, a young man in Scot
land undertook to rob an eagles nest
of its young, for the sake of the pre-
MUM which was offered by the au-
thorities for the destruction of this
bird. In climbing to the nest, a very
dangerous, craggy precipice had to be
passed, at the top of which, on a pro-
jecting cliff, was the prize. Be,.eath
yawned a chasm two hundred feet
deep. With one hand tho invader
held himself up by grasping bush.
that grew out Of the side of the
precipicc, and with the other he was
scizing the young eaglets, when the
parent bird lowered in sight, and
dropping tha prey she held, and
uttcring q wild scream, she darted
upon the intruder, burying her talons
in the feshy part of his neck, and
assailing his eyes with her beak. For
time, the yonng mans destruction
seemed inevitable; but at length he
succeeded in drawing knife from his
vest, and opening it with his teeth, he
plunged it into. the enraged bird till
he killed her. But the marks of the
bird on bis face and neck will never
be obliterated; such was his terror,
that when he had escaped from his
perilous situation it was found that his
hair had all turned white.
As the parent eagle provides for,
loves and defends her young, 30 the
Lord defends and loves His people.
This 10 the meaning of the figure
quoted above. Let young children
learn BY heart this passage Of Scrip
ture, and think what blessed privi-
legeitis ID to be one of Gods own chill
dren;E 70 nestle rs it were under His
protecting wing, to enjoy His protec-
ton sgasnst every enemy and every
danger. ,s 1s

AN ELEPHANT ATTACKS A LocoMo-
T1vE.-The following account of all
encounter between an elephant and a
railway train in India, is taken from
the Be~gnlee, of January 2, an intelli-
gent native newspaper published in
Calcutta in English:
A correspondent writing the Indo-
European correspondence from Mou-
ghyr, states that very serious acci-
dent;i brought about in a manner un-
known, and perhaps unhcard of since
tae-hestablishment Of railways, not
only in India, but throughout the
world, happened to train on tho
evening of the goth of December, at
halfpast 8 O'Clock, between saheb-
gunge and Mirzapore, about two
miles from the latter station. At
that time tho No. s down goods ira n
was approaching mangoe tope, in
which seventy elephants were sta
toned. The red lights glaring in the
distance, and the noise and smoke of
the engine, would seem to have caused
an awful CONSERVATION among tho
poor brutss, all Of whom, more or less,
tried to break away from their fast
enings. One large male, however, the
strongest and most courageous of the
lot, became 30 infdriated that he
broke his chain and rushed forward
to intercept and encounter the sup.
posed enemy. Hehad scaresly placed
himself on tie line. when the train
was down ,npon him. He encountered
It with head and t1sks; but animal
strength proved no ,naatcbs forsteam
and machiner-4ths poor brute was
knocked down and killed on ,hs spot,

PREsENTIMENTs OF DEATH are

PREsENT1MENTs OF DEATH are
among tho strangest phenomena of
tho human mind. Biography sets
forth startling array of cases in
which the setting sun of life has cast
"a long shadow Of impending dissolu-
ton before it.. Asked in his thirty
sixth year to write Requiem, Mozart
sadly replied, at will bo my own,
them" and ho died as soon as he had
finishedit. "Did I not tell you truly"
he said, musmg over the scoro az he
lay dying, "that it was for myself, I
composed this dcath-chant2"
Fletcher, the great French divine,
dreamt that he was to die, and
oroered his tomb. "Begiu your
work ut once," was his final instruc-
tlons to the sculptor, "for there is no
timo to lose;" and no sooner was the
house of death finished, than its in
tending tenant entered upon posses
sion. "What is to be the subject of
your next design ?" asked n merry
party Of friends of Hogarth. ."The
End of All Things" was tho reply.
"ln that case," said one jokingly,
"thcre will be all end Of the artist"
"There WILL" rcjoined Hogarth, with
depth of solemnity that was strange
in him. lie set about the plate in hot
haste, broke up his tools when he had
finished it, entitled the print "Finis,"
and, short time after its publication,
lay stretched in death. "Poor Wes-
tonT exclaimed Foote, as he stood de-
Jectedly contemplating the portrait of
a brother actor recently dead, "poor
Weston | Soon others shall say, poor
Foote." In few days he was borne
out to his burial.
Instances of the kind might be
multiplied indefinitely. But thcre are
cases on record where the present.
ment has been even more striking.
Wolsey knew the exact time at which
his death would take place. "What
is the hour of the day2" he asked
Cavendish on the morning before his
death. "something past eight" re-
piled the attendant. "Past eightl"
mused the "little, great lord cardinal"
"eight-eight of the clock, eight of
the clock-nay, it cannot be eight of
the clock, for by eight of the clock
shall you lose your master" On the
following morning, while the clock
WAS striking eight, he died. He was
wrong as to the daylight as to the
hour.
There is another wcll-authenticated
case of French lady of title, who
had a presentimont that on given
day she should die at twelve o'clock.
Believing it to be dclusion, her
physicians ordered every clock in the
10 be put back by an
hour. She was sinking fast, bnt lived
on until nearly one, when she was
told of the innocent deception that
had been practised upon her. The
doctors had underrated the power of
imagination. "Cruel," she murmured,
"thus TO lengthen out the pain of
dying," and sinking back upon her
pillow she expired. "Bettcr in arms
than upon ones bed," muttered an
officer of the army of Italy, on being |
appointed to lead forlorn hope. Ma
poleon sent for the man, and learned
that he believed he was to die at mid
night. The expedition was postponed
for an hour. and-another leader had
to be selected for it. The captain who
had tho presentiment was seized with
an apoplectic fit while marshalling his
men, and died on the last stroke of
twelve.

A: ROMANTIC LOVE SToRY.-Thc
Count de st. Croix, belonging to ono
of the noblest and wealthiest families
in France. became engaged, after
long conrtship, to lady his equal in
position and fortune, and famous for
her beauty. Shortly after the happy
day was appointed which was to rem
der two loving hearts one, the Count
was ordered Immediately to the seige
of sebastopol; 80 he girded on his
sabre, and at tho head of his regiment
marched to the battle field. During
the Counts absence it happened that
his beautiful Alliance had the small
pox. After lowering between life and
death she recovered, but found her
beauty hopelessly lost. The disease
had assumed in her case the most
virulent character, and left her not
only disAgurcd, but scanned, and
SCARED to such frightfil extent that
she became hideous to herself, and re-
solved to pass the remainder of her
days 10 the strictest seclusion.
A year passed away, when one day
the Count, Immediately npon his
return to France, accompanied by his
valet, presented himself at the resi-
dence Of bis betrothed, and solicited
an interview. This was refused. He,
however, with the persistence of a
lover, pressed his snit, apd finally the
lady made her" appearance, closely
nufiaed in veil. At the sound Or her
voice the Count rushed forward to
embrace herr bot stepping aside, she
trembiingly told him the story Of her
sorrow. and burst Into tears. "a

Every body is complaining of great
dearth of business. Stores are glntted
with goods, and merchants are ready to
sell on time to safe purchasers on their
own terms, yet the customers do not
come. Whether they are deferred by
the torrid heats, want of confidence, or
the lack of cash, we can't say ; but it
strikes us, as things stand, they ire
rather short-sighted. In this season of
stagnation the forehanded man might
well lay in his fall and winter stock at
the discount which he can always COM
mand at such a time In addition to
low prices ruling in mercantile circles,
the railway companies now, for want of
freight, are putting their rate down to
the very lowest figure. All of them
take whatever offers, and so great is the
scramble for the little business doing
that shippers can 8 md off their goods at
less than a quarter the cost OF transpor-
tation in ordinary seasons. Such OPP
portunities ought to stimulate country
buyers to make their purchases now,
while bargains can be had and freights
are at the lowest ebb. A word to the
wise is sufficient. New York Sun.
