Water for Horses.

IN the English Farmers journal, Mr..
Benjamin Cartledge, of Sheffield, a mem
Der of the Royal Veterinary College, calls
attention to the very common mistake
made by keepers of horses in limiting the
supply of water to their animals. Many
owners of horses, most grooms, and others
who have the charge of them, profess, he
says "to know how much water a horse
ought to be allowed, and, when a poor,
thirsty, e r-driven animal arrives at his
journeys end, he is treated to q very linn
tied supply, and the pail is taken away
before its necessity is half met. 1t is q
mistaken notion that cold water frequent
ly produces collie 1 have often known
it cure the disease. When cold water
does cause abdominal pain, it is from long
abstinence, and when the horse drinks to
excess. But even this is rare. I allow
my horse to drink from every trough I
meet IN the road, if the water be clean,
and, in my own stable, 1 never had a case
ofcolic. At home, my horses always have
water before them. A friend of mine, to
whom, the other day, 1 gave this advice,
directed his servant to adopt it. The
servant shook his head, and said che
thought he knew as well as Mr.. CARTRIDGE
when his horses required water, and how

Boy Smokers.

Here and there about the street corners
and around the doors of amusement, you
will see a lot of urchins, some of them
decently clad and presenting a respecta-
BILE appearance, who are engaged in as
sorting their manhood by pulling away at
-execrable cigars. It is fair to presume
that their anxious mammas are not aware
of the foul habits their darling boys pick
up and practice outside of the parental
roof; but for their benefit they should
know that it is stated that a French ply
stefan has investigated the effect of smok-
ing on thirty-eight boys, between the
ages of nine and fifteen, who were addict
ed to the habit. Twenty-seven presented
distinct symptoms of nicotine poison. In
twenty-five there were serious disorders
of the circulation, indigestion, dullness of
intellect, and a marked appetite for strong
drinks. In three there was heart affec-
ton in eight decided deterioration of
the blood in twelve there was frequent
epitoxis; ten had disturbed sleep, and
four had liberation of the mucus MEM
brane of the mouth. 1t is easy, then, to
see how the ranks of the drunkards and
dissolute men "about town" are recruited,
when there are so many boys in training
for delirium tremens and all the horrors
of dissipation.-L0uis0iNe Journal.

Evidences OF the Approaching DissOlI-
ton OF the Radical Party In the East.

A glance at the political condition of
parties in this country at the present time
shows the drift of the current decldedly
in favor of the Democratic organization.
The Radicals are demoralized at the cen
tire and the circumference. Inc are
worm-eaten with corruption, o~verl0aoeo
with Jobs, and paralyZed by the 1nordlnate
ambition of bad men in all sections of the
country. Their President is welded to
ali kinds of schemes which promise
Golden results, and their Senators and
Representatives are bold, blatant defend
ers of misrule and tyranny in the States
and nation. This condition of things has
produced the usual results; The party
are dissatisfied, and are letting that dis
satisfaction be seen in their actions in va
rious localities. In Allegheny county, in
this State, several hundred Radicals
signed a call for an independent move
ment and convention. "The time has
come" say the signers of the call, for a
reform of u party organization" Again
they say We invite the cordial coop
Grafton of all honest Republicans who
wish to rescue their organization from the
corrupting domination of selfish, unprin-
cipled politicians. Such bubbles as this
rising to the surface of party politics
show that there Is a lively fermentation
going on underneath. Judge Kelley Will
have al independent candidate to face in
his district, and O'Neil is in a like
p~redicament. In Indiana the Rad
zeal soldiers complain of being
cheated by the wire-pullers of that party,
and threats of vengence at the polls are
heard in all portions of the State. The
Boston Journal, in speaking of the peliti-
cal campaign in Massachusetts,, says: I'm
all probability the Republicans will have
as their standard bearer, Gov. Claflin ;
the Democrats will again rally around
Col. John Quincy Adams, and the Labor
Reform party, if they desert Mr.. Chamber
lin, will put up Mr.. Colby, of Newbury-
port. There are evidences that the con-
test will be exciting, and without doubt it
will in some respects be a close one.
Much viii depend upon the action of
Congress and the acts which it can con-
summate to bring relief to an over-taxed
nation" And it adds: "The Democrats
purpose making a strong effort to carry
the two Boston districts, and in one of
these districts an effort will be made to
induce a third candidate to run. The re-
election of Hon. Henry Wilson will de-
pend upon the result of the State eiec-
ton, and the prizes, therefore, of the next
campaign will call forth the best energies
of our opponents" These are a few mat
tiers observed from the outlook, and they
are both significant and cheering. Each
day weakens the Radical party. Their
load is too heavy for them to carry. On
the other hand, the Democratic party is
in splendid condition for the fight, and
must win the coming political battle

The Blood In Summer.

The blood deteriorates in hot weather. Profuse
Precipitation deprives it of a portion OF its nour-
ishing and reproductive properties. Consequent
ly, in summer, the flesh loses in some degree its
hfmness, the muscles lack their usual elasticity and
vigor, and the weight OF the body diminIshes.
These are clear indications that the ordinary sup
ply OF the DEMONSTRATING principle afforded by the
food we eat, Is not sufficient to meet the require
ments of the system under a high temperature.
There is another reason for this, besides the direct
influence Of the heat, viz: the loss of appetite
and the weakening of the digestive powers which
1t occasions. Under these circumstances a whole
some invigorant is evidently needed, and the best
and safest is Hostetters Stomach Bitters. This
admirable vegetable tonic and Alternative acts IA
vorably upon the system in several ways. 1t in
creases the appetite and facilitates digestion,
thereby inclining the stomach TO receive and ena-
bling it to assimilate a due amount OF nourish-
ment. 1t also tones the relaxed secretive organs
and the bowels. Under its operation the process
of evacuation, occasioned by the drain through
the pores, is arrested, the whole frame refreshed
and fnvigorated, and the spirits exhilarated. The
dyspeptic, the bilious, the nervous, the debiltated,
scarcely need to be told that it is precisely the
stimulant and corrective they ought to take at
this season. Thousands Of them know the fact by
experience. Nothing In the pharmacop6ia Cor out
of f) will supply its place-least OF all the trashy
local n~OStruD1S which some INSCRIPTIONS dealers
would be glad, for the benefit Of their own pock-
cts, to peddle out in Its stead.
