1T is bad policy to move a team out of
its natural gait, especially with load. 1t
is far better to put on a full load, and even
little more, and give the horses their
own time for moving it to its place of
destination, than TO make two loads of it
and hurry them. There is a certain de-
gree of rapidity of action peculiar to the
muscles of each class of animals, and in
deed to each individual animal, and if
they are pressed beyond this, fatigue fol-
lows quickly, while within this limit great
endurance is witnessed To test this, let
a man attempt to move his arms as rapid
ly as bird does its wings, or his legs
in walking as rapidly a little boy,
and see how greatly he will be-
come exhausted. This will convince him
OF the folly of attempting to make his
heavy draft horses move with the rapidity
of the pony or fast trotter. The law of
nature is that heavy bodies move slowly.

Washington Correspondence of the Cincinnati
Commercial
Certain ardent friends and admirers, as
sisted by artistic talent, are busy getting
up an equestrian statue of President
Grant to adorn the front of the treasury
building. The money has been subscribed,
his Excellency consulted, and the horse
selected from which to model the animal.
and the artist is at work. One could well
question the taste of this performance. 1t

work of the man to be an honor We all
know the motive that animates the move.

to say, that if his Excellency were to

tons would be slow to swell to the neces-
sary amount. When completed, the man

WE call the attention of our readers to
the advertisement of "Prussing's Vinegar"
We see by circular issued by Mr.. Prus-
sing, that he has introduced an entirely
new method in his manufacture of Vine
gar which revolutionizes the whole former
process, and by which he has succeeded
in producing an article far superior to any
he has heretofore made, and which can
neither be surpassed nor equaled.
In his circular Mr.. p. calls attention to
a certificate by Prof. Mahla, one of our
most eminent chemists In the country,
who has analysed his vinegar and certifies
to the entire purity of the same.
Having been established for the past
twenty-five years, and having always re-
ceived the first premium at whatever fail
he has exhibited his vinegar, we can rec
ommend it to all who desire pure
wholesome and palatable article for pick
ling as we'll as table use.-Iri6une.

on horseback will look upon the melan-
choly, unfinished monument to George,
the father of his country, and since then
u long line of Presidents have come ana
gone, who, had they desired, might have
figured in bronze or marble, and called
for the effigies during their brief hour OF
patronage. A.
But it is waste of good ink to be dis
cussing a question of taste with this ad-
ministration. 1t has all sorts OF sense but
sense of propriety. There IS, however,
a little inner history connected with this
equestrian statue worth giving to the pub
lie The work originates in Philadelphia,
under the direct supervision of Pig-iron
Kelley. And this accounts for certain
tactical fluids in the cocoanut. Up to a
certain time it was believed, if not known,
that the President sympathlzed with west
ern interest Our Gov. Hayes, for eX-
ample, had a very satisfactory talk on that
subject with the General, and said that his
views sounded as if based on the statistics
of David A. Wells. When, however, his
message made its appearance, there was
| found a total revolution, and all the might
| of the administration was brought to bear
| in favor of the present infamous Unequal
| itv OF taxation under which Western In
terests are being buried. And soon 1t was
| whispered about that that part OF the
message had been prepared and put IN 10y
| old Pig-iron Kelley himself. The bronze
horse had proved more fatal TO us than
the wooden stecd of Troy. How coulc
his EXcellency resist the soft persuasion
of a gentleman who was doing such
grand thing for him? An equestrian statue
how far ahead of the other heroes o
the war he would be. Where is your ole
Pap Thomas now? What are Western
interests to this? Let us have infamous
tariffs let them be augmented. Ulyssc'
will sit for ages in immortal bronze, long
after these transient measures have passed
and we small men are forgotten. Well, a

in case in which a horse was killed
on the Illinois Central Railroad, having
passed from a field to the track through
gate which had been left open, the Illinois
Supreme Court decided:
"On the abstract question presented, it
is az much the duty of the owner of the
farm at the crossing to keep the gates
closed as it is that of the company, for, as
this court said in the case of the Illinois
Central Railroad Company, 0s. Dickerson
81, Ill. 50, it is not the duty of the com
pany to keep a patrol the whole length of
their road TO see that the fence is not
broken down by breachy cattle, by men,
or by whrlwind, and by the same rea-
soning it would follow they are not obliged
to patrol the line of their road to see if the
gates at farm crossings are left open. Still
they are liable, if their employers, seeing
such gate open, neglect to close it, and
an injury results, unless the same be left
open by the carelessness of the former.
If the gate is left open by the owner of
the land, the company would not be
responsible, If by the company's agents it
would be, and neglect to shut it when it
should be closed, by the agents or en-
ployees of the company, would be negli-
gence for which the company would be
liable"
