and by the sec ;section<of our bill of
rights. and Aording to the third section
of the bill of rights existed before and is
higher than any constitutional sanction.
Yet, the Herald insists in effect, that
for the mere purposes of specula-
ton, in order that the aggregate wealth
of lhe State may be increased, that this
absolute right of the citizen, placed by
the Constitution on an equal footing with
his right to life and liberty, is held at
the mere will of the majority; that three
ffths of the voting population of the
State, can, without violating the letter or
spirit of the Constitution, levy an annual
tax of ten dollars upon every one hun
dred dollars worth of property in the
State, and expend the whole amount thus
raised, in constructing internal improve
ments for the sole and exclusive beneht
of themselves. In other words, that the
minority may be hopelessly and irretrlev-
ably ruined by the majority, by tax
levied, collected, and expended, in exact
conformity with the Constitution OF our
State.
We maintain that the State govern
ment has no such power; that no majorl-
ty however great, can arbitrarily deprive
the citizen of the right to control his
property, and invest his money in sucf
manner as he may see proper. That any
astemptSs zp-lzmu<-.uru uset,se- ajvEiss Z,
, force any number of citizens to inves
their moReY in any general system of in
ternal Improvement, would be an attemp
, to exercise au absolute and arbitrar.
power over their property, and in direc
conflict with the ID section of the bill o
rights.
We insist that the Herald is mistakeI
: in supposing that our Appellate Cour
f has ever decided in favor of the eonsti
tutionality of State aid to Internal I'm
. proyements No decision OF this CouI
goes further in that direction than tn
a Slack, &c, against the Maysville an
) Lexington Railroad Company, and moth
ing is therein decided, except that tn
Legislature may compel local contribu
: tions by way of taxation to the accom-
d plishment of purposes of local necess
$ ty or convenience. Nothing is said 0
the subject, OF general taxation for loc;
i purposes, or for any purposes of Inte
b nal Improvement. Under the ruling
this case, Court houses, gas work, sc
!. may be built, and dirt roads improves
+, by the local community to be benefitte
. thereby, and still it may be unconstit'

Dear STR have been a sufferer, for up
ward OF twenty years, with gravel, blad-
der, and kidney affections, during which
time have used various medicinal prepa-
rdtions, and been under the treatment of
bot little relief.
Having seen your preparations extern
s1vely advertised, consulted with my
family physician in regard to using your
Extract Buchu.
/ did this because had used all kinds of
advertised remedies, and had found them
worthless, and some quite injurious; in
fact, I despaired of ever getting we'll and
unless L knew of the ingredients 1t was
this that prompted me to use your remedy.
AS you advertised that it was composed OF
buchu, ubebs, and juniper berries, it oc-
CURED to me and my physician as an ex-
ceilent com binatiOn, and, with his advice,
after an examination OF the article, and
consulting again with the druggist, L con-
Guided to try it. 1 commenced its use
about eight m onths ago, at which time
bottle 1 was astonished and gratified at
the beneficial effect and after using it
three weeks was able to walk out. 1 felt
much like writing you full statement of
my case at that time, but thought my inn
proVement might only he temporary, and
therefore concluded TO defer and see If 1t
would effect q perfect cure, knowing then
1t would be of greater value TO you, aud
more satisfactory TO me.
am now able to report that o cure Is
effected, after using the remedy for five
1 have not used it any now for three
months, and feel as vel IN all respects as
Your Buchu, being devoid of any un-
Pheasant taste and odor, a nice tonic and
lnyigorator Of the, system, do not mean
to be without ii whenever occasion may
require ITS use In such affections.

FLUID EXTRACT BUcHU.
The Kidneys.

The kidneys are two in number, situated
at the upper part Of the loin, surrounded
by tat, and consisting of three parts, viz. /:
the Anterior, the Interior, and the Exte-
rior.
The anterior absorbs. Interior consists
OF tissues or veins, which serve as a de-
post for the urine and convey it to the
exterior. The exterior is a conductor also,
terminating in single tube, and called
the Ureter. The ureters are connected
with the bladder.
The bladder is composed OF various COW
ertngs or tissues, divided into parts, viz.
the Upper, the Lower, the Nervous, and
the Mucous. The upper expels, the lower
retains. Many have a desire 90 urinate
without the ability; others urinate with
out the ability to retain. This frequently
occurs in children.
TO cure these affections, we must bring
into action the muscles which are engaged
IN their various functions. If they are
neglected, Gravel or Dropsy may ensue.
The. reader must also be made aware,
tnai, however slight may be the attack,
1t is sure TO affect the bodily health and
mental powers, as our flesh and blood are
supported from these sources.

Brenkin. Colts.

1t requires the greatest care and the
exercise of the best Judgment and the
most philosophical patience to break a
colt properly. When we consider the
stupidity and the general want of skill
in those who attempt to break colts, we
cease to wonder that there are so many
balky, kicking, malicious and unS govern
able horses In the country, but we
wonder that the number is not a multi
pie of what il is now. The way the
thing is generally attempted (not done
is about like this: The colt is frighten-
ed into a stable with noisy demonstra'
tions, and after haltering and tying into
a stall, the next move Is to throw the
harness upon the timid animal from the
distance of four or five feet, and then
after sundry whoopings and ceilings anu
cuttings and poundings, the colt, no"
almost frightened TO death, IS led OUT
and finally hitched, probably by the
side OF slow, ox-paced old horse, and
after due fixing the order is given To
"git up" The old horse soon makes an
effort TO advance, but the colt, untor-
tunately not being acquainted with
horse language, does not move, which
brings cut of the whip. The colt, OF
course, makes an effort to get beyond q
repetition of the same, aud in doing so
gets beyond and ahead of its mate,
when sudden jerk brings it back upon
it launches. This sort OF exercise so
befuddies and confuses the animal that
it does not know what to do, when a
regular thrashing is the immediate re-.
suit, and balky or kicking horse the
ultimate one.

Ro.us Five Cent Pieces.

She samples of bogus five cent pieces
sent us by correspondent, says the
Philadelphia Ledger, are certainly bad
limitations of the genuine, and may, as
the writer says, be detected without
the application of any test. We fnd
on inquiry, what may not be generally
known, that the amount of this bad coin
in circulation is quite large, and, what
is worse, that it is passed from hand TO
hand by many even after its true
character is known, those SO passing it
justifying themselves with the idea that
the nominal amount is SO small that the
difference between the good and bad is
of little consequence. This is a. false
notion, and works to the profit of the
bogus coin dealers. The same close
vigilance should be observed for the de-
lection of this small coin as for bogus
gold eagles.

CutFeed for Horses.

An accurate farmer has furnished the
Country Gentleman statement Of his
experiments with feeding cut feed and
meal to his horses, accompanied with
weighing and measuring. He cuts oat
straw about an inch long with raw
hide cylinder machine, and this chopped
straw is then treated with corn meal
and bran mixed in about equal quanti-
ties as to weight, so that each horse has
about bushel of cut feed, and three
quarts Of the meal and bran, twice in
each day. Sometimes hay is cut instead
of oat straw, or both are mixed. 1t is
found that two hundred pounds Der
week of this mixture of corn meal and
bran, added to the cut feed, will keep q
pair of working horses in the best con.
dition. This he is satisfied from ex peri
ment is less than trO thirds the cost of keep
ing Them on uncut dry hay and phole grain.
The corn meal alone is not SO good for
horses, as when diluted with bran. An
excellent meal is made of ground oa's.
The fodder is cut by horse power on
stormy or spare days and stored in large
bins, so as to furnish always a surplus
on hand.

Nature and Art.

Be not deceived, young men OF the
period who wander to Newport or
ssunter on the Branch. Those towlng
rresses which adorn the head of your
beloved, and which wave in matted
luxuriance ON her shoulders as she
returns from her bath; are not hers.
Hers, indeed, they are by right OF p's-
session and purchase. But the glorious
negligence which is so attractive to You,
and to which their appearance is such
handsome addition, IS not negligence at
all, but the contamination OF art. 1t is
a mere bolch who can make pretty
chignon out of emp or the crinal ex-
tremity of a cows tail; but to make
series of tresses which will delude the
keen eyes of love, whom fataists well
say is blind, and which will correspond
with the damp locks of the bathers-
that is work for the divine Pascal.
