In all new countries we hear of fatal diseas-

Gapes, Blindness, Chambers, Megrims or Giddi-

above named diseases. In severe attacks, mix
n small quantity with corn meal, mOistened,
and feed twice day. While these diseases
prevail, use little in their feed once or twice
u week, and your poultry will be kept free from
all disease. In severe attacks eftentimes they
do not eat; ii will then be necessary to admin
lister the Powder by means of Il quill, blowing
the Powder down their throat, or mi king Pow

The New York ETenbIJ Post has charac-
tcristic article under the above caption. Ad.
vice is very nice thing, but aid, sympathy
and encouraging words are much better.
The complaint of the Post appear TO be
predicstcd upon the fact that the revolution
lists do not let the world know what they are
doing. Did 1t ever occur to the editors Of
the Post that the silence OF the insurgents il,
under the circumstances, the wises! policy
for them.
The blowing of trumpets all abroad might
not help themi on the contrary, 1t might
hurt them.
1t is a very easy matter for the man who
stands aloof and views the battle to give ad-
vice In respect to this sorth or charge and the
other, bat to ome down to the plain and take
hand in the fight is quite different thing.
The Post In this instance is like one who
views the battle from afar, 1t has but limited
means of knowing, and hence its cold ant
| soullcss advice.

A Few Words About Railroads.

A storehouse, hotel or turnpike road
that has cost million dollars should be
much used In order to be made profitable.
Should not railroad
A turnplke company charges a nxed price
to all who run wagons aud carriages over
Its road, thus leaving the carrying business
open to competition that the public may be
benefited. Should not q railroad company
do 80 likewise
A turnpike company desires that many
country roads shah lead into IT. that many
vehicles shall pay tolls at It's gates. A rail-
road company should desire that many short
tributary railroads should open up the wealth
Of the country on each side and send trains
Of cnrs over its rails. When the same com
pany owns the road and the cars both II will
always prefer ten dollars each for one thou
sand passengers to five dollars each for two
thousand passengers, the receipts being the
same and the expenses less. Rival trains on
the same road would bring down the fare
and increase the travel. This applies equally
to the transportation Of Passengers, goods
aud produce. n.
Turnpike companies keep their roads In
order as merchants keep assortments Of
goods, that they may obtain and retain the
public patronagei and also because those
who drive over their roads always hold
them to the requirements Of their charters.
Would not the owners Of railroads have tho
same incentives, and be held to like require
mcuts, IL their revenues were to DO made TO
depend upon the owners Of engines and
trains in like mannerl Would not the prop
erty and the lives of the mercantile and
travelling public be thus measurably insured
II there were two, three or more passenger
and freight train Offices at every importau
station and depot, would each timld Gus
toner be frowned upon and "lookec
through" and CURLY answered as at PRESENT.

FORWARDED TO WAsHISGTOS.-On Friday
last Il rather odd looking procession passed
along Third street. 1t wac made up OF three
of those tremendous omnibusses Of the Louis
vile Transportation Company, filled with
In the direction of the river. There were
forty-lve of them, and two thirds Of the
forty-Avc were females. All were old, dc.
crcpid or diseased, and were being forwarded
by the Frccdmen's Bureau to Washington.
They had been at Taylor barracks nearly a
month, and had previously been at Crtten-
den barracks, having accumulated there
from as far back as July, 1866. One Of the
negro men, 1t Is said, was one hundred and
thirteen years of age, and had passed one
hundred and eight years of his life as a slave.
Nine of the party were idiotlc or imbeCle.-

AN INDIAN PRINCESS IN New YoRK.-A
South American Indian princess, who was
captured in battle of the natives of GuaJira,
and ransomed by au American family who
were travelling in South America, and adopted
by them, Is guest at the Aston House, New
York. Her features are of the regular Indian
cast; hair black, straight and stiff, complex
ion brown, eyes dark and flashing, forehead
low and cheek bones high. In her native
country she lived on milk and vegetables,
and In times of famine subsisted on roots and
herbs. Her usual costume consists Of q loose
dress Of light cotton, striped with red, and
fastened at the waist by girdle Of heavy
beads. She also wears beads around her arms
and ankles. She told an interpreter that she
remembered her father great and good man,
but did not recolGct her mother. Her guard
ians have no doubt Of her royal origin.

newspaper proprletors. Government funds
aud means for distribution will always beat

MARRIED AND YET NOT MARRIED.-Wc
are Informed that rather unpleasant mis-
take was made few weeks ago by one of
the newly.appointed magistrates in county
hard by. 1t appears that the magistrate
was under the Impression that he could le'
gallzc marriages, and accordingly he per-
formed that solemn ceremony, In which two
willing hearts were made one. Upon exam
lnatiun or inquiry, the new magistrate found
1.-THE court" had erred most egrcgiously,
and the question arose as to what was best
TO be done under the exigency. The magis-
trate was also minister Of the gospel, and
he quleted himself with turning over his
work to the ministerial vocation, but upon
reflection he found that he had never ap-
piled to the court for his legal authority to
5oemnizc the nuptlal rites. Court day rolled
around, and he made application for the
privilege, which was OF course granted, so
that, we suppose, new Wedding will come
of, and all that will be necessary will be the
ante-dating of the marriage ceremony upon
the lcense.-FrederieksJurJ Herald, Nay 9.

own subscription. 1t remarks that, to the
successful man who produces the called-for
instrument, $3.50, 900 would be gladly given
by the publishers of the country. The rest
Of the prize should be distributed to the Sec

an encouragement to every inventor to strive
to win the capital prize.

Four GENERATIONS PRESENT AT THE SAME
TINE IN CHURCH.-We learn from the Fred
ericksburg (Va.) Ledger that this scene was
witnessed at the African Baptist church Of
that city on Sunday last. An invitation was
given on that occasion for persons who felt
DESTROYS to connect themselves with the
church to come forward. Two very old col
ored females, one much older than the other,
arose and went forward; one was the grand
mother and the other the mother of the pas
tor of the church-Rev. George Dixon, col
ored-two or three Of whose children already
belong to that church. The grandmother Is
9S years Of age, and had put of this i'm

The completion OF the Pacific railroad Is
great event in the line Of progress The i'm
mediate question which forces itself upon
public attention is what Is TO be the fate Of
Mormonism and polygamy in Utah. We
have tried to uprool this upas tree of poly.
gamy by legislation and by force of arms.
The Republican party deuoun ced 1t years
ago as the twin relic Of barbarlsm with
slavery, and while It's co.partncr Is dead and
buried, polygamy still lives. How long shall
1t live to disgrace modern civilization, and to
unblushingly Aaunt Its obscene and disgust
Ing debaucherlcs in the face Of an cnllght-
cncd and Christian community This is the
question.
In our opinion, the great moral reformer,
the Pacific railroad, will do what neither the
force of arms nor legislation has yet donci
that is, root out this pcstllcutIal heresy and
nest of unClcaullness, and Mormoulsm will
20 down amid the rclOlClugs Of the people.
Mormonlsm, like any other cyi. under the
providence of God, has Lad lls Uses. Its in

SOME MEN derive good from war, lcstllencc

earthquake at Porto Rico IN ISL WAS a
blessing to the poor Of that country. 1t is
said ii gave them work In putting the land.
In orderj the prices of labor advanced, anI
the mechanics In tho towns found constant
labor In repairing tho shattered buildings.
We presume that the Porto Rico poor
may pray hereafter for earthquakes a
wrcckers pray for storms aud shlpwrecks.
