A dispatch from Alexandria announces
the arrival of the Empress Eugenie at
the terminus of the Suez canal.
The correspondent of the Post writes
as follows from Rome concerning the
expected Ecumenical Council:
1.-THE dogmatic definition of the As
SUMPTION of the Virgin Mary will en-
counter no obstacles, as the Pope earn
estly desires the consolidation of this
dogma; but the erection into dogma of
the necessity of the temporal power is
not considered possible, even by its most
ardent champions, ss the foundation and
preservation of that power do not afford
the elements Of dogma, and the belief
ia its necessity is not even prorimo fdei,
but only of high importance. Probably
the protests of 1869 and 1867 will be re-
vived. II lie suggested that the Liberals
Bishops will advance the idea that terms
be made with the King Of Italy, so that
all appointments, even of the Popedom,
may be conferred without the distinction
of nationality; but such change of
policy, though desirable, is improbable at
present, and must be left to time and the
force Of events. The Council does not
have the initiative with respect to the Syl-
lobus, ard it would be absurd to think
that the Sylobus would be abrogsted; it
ia more probable that the Bishops will be
asked to sustain it by an open, unani-
nous adhesion, and TO explain such por-
,ions as are obscurely worded, or errone-
ously interpreted. Beyond these points
the council will only be occupied with
questions Of internal discipline, such as
reforms, missions, the re union OF schis-
mates and heretics with the church, the
modification of the religious orders, the
amelioration of distractions to theology,
and the adoption of the Judicial power
nf the Bishops to the condition of society.
/. is important to observe that the initi-
alive in everything belongs to the Pope
alone, and ss the Roman Catholic Hier.
srchy is strongly and judiciously consti-
tuted, it is improbable that any serious
opposition will be manifested.

THE SUNFLOwER A CURE FOR FEVER AND

Therapeutic society of France, states, ~ proved
fact, that the common sunfower possesses the
faculty Of freeing the atmosphere from the ami
NAL and vegetable germs supposed to constitute
the miasms productive of fever and ague. He
says the experiment has proved successful in the
low districts, near Rochefort, and that the Dutch
proved its value in neutralizing the noxious Of.
tsots Of marshy exhalations The sunfower has
long been appreciated as a fattener OF poultry,
and supplying food for bees, 60, and many PEG.

districts, and the homely-looking flower will b

HINTS ON HORsE-FLEsH.--As five years are
required for the completion of the bore structure
Of the horse. it is important that he be careful.
ly used until that age If he is early everworked
the ligaments which unite his one hundred and
thirty bones are prevented from becoming suffi-
GENTLY fixed ITO the frame, and he is dwarfed,
and wears out or dies long before reaching the
full twenty-five years which should be the aver
age duration of his life and vigor. The muscles
Of fine horse ought to be thick and very long
thickness insures strength and length an extend
ed sweep OF limb. E@> -
Properly constructed harness is as essential to
the comfort of horse as easy clothes are necses-
sary to the comfort of . man. If tho harness is
not well fitted to tho form, the veins are COM
pressed, circulation is retarded and disease en-
sues. When in motion the horse regulates his
centre of gravity by using his head and neck.
The check rein is therefore inhuman and inju-
rious
If a horse is compelled to run when his head is
held in verticle position, the gravity is thrown
too far back, and he advances with difficulty.
The ears may be called indices of horses mind.
Intelligent animals prick up their ears when
spoken to, vicious throw their ears back. A blind
horse directs Que ear forward and one backward,
and in q deaf horse the ears are without any ex.
preston.
The ears of the best horses are short and wide
apart the eyes are well open, and the forehead
is broad. A bread forehead indicates good
brain. The Arab says: "The horse must have
fiat forehead and the courage of bull" The
horse breathes by his nose and not by his mouth,
hence the nostrils should be large, SO the air may
be taken in freely. Dealers enlarge the nostrila
of the horses by artificial means. The mouth Of
young horse is round; in age it becomes mar.
row and elongated. w-
The Arab says, speaking of his horse: "Ths
first seven years are for my younger brother, the
next seven for myself, and the last is for my
enemy"
A horse has only one jugular vein, man has
three. The withers can neverbe too high. Tho
higher they are the easier horse travels The
loins should be short, the chest square and the
shoulders we'll developed. The veterinary sur.
geon who said, mo foot no horse" was perfectly
correct The hoof is curious and complicst.
Cd piece OF mechanism an elastic box, which ex.
pands and contracts as the horse raises or puts
down tho foot. Shooting should be dsne with
care and skill, or the natural form of the hooi
is destroyed. Above all, 80 noble an animal
should DO treated with the greatest kindness, and
no pains should be spared TO make his bonds q
| easy TO wear as may be.-Dr. Lemereier.
