From the Shreveport Bulletin.l
II dreamed" said he, that the day Of
Judgment had come, and contrary to all
the teachings of my youth, it appeared
that mankind were not to be judged in.
dividually, but by governments, by ma,
tionalities, and by States. The first gov
ernment called to judgment was that OF
England; and as soon as the nome OF
England sounded the immortal Burke
arose from his grave, and declared that
he had lived and died in England; that
Ne knew her people to be loyal alike To
God and their country; and on his re-
commentator England passed into the
celestial city.
The next government called to account
was the United States of America, and
when the name of America sounded
Mount Vernon trembled as the immortal
Washington arose from his grave and
prayed that his government should not
be tried as England had been, as q con-
solidated despotism, but as free sover-
eign and independent States. q 5A A
The first State called to account was
old Virginia, and as soon as the name OF
Virginia sounded the immortal Henry
arose to his feet and declared he had
lived and died in Virginia. that he knew
her people to be loyal alike to God and
the country, and on his recommendation
Virginia passed through the gates into
the city. .t.t.A
The next State called to account was
South Carolina, and as soon as the name
of South Carolina sounded, John G. Cal
houn arose from his grave and declared
that with all her faults he knew her peo-
pie to be loyal alike to God and the
country; and on his recommendation
South Carolina passed into the celestial
city. assaaes,
The third State called TO account was
the State of Louisiana; and as soon as
the name of Louisiana sounded, Henry
Watkins Allen, bursting asunder his
beautiful hower-decked tomb, arose and
proclaimed that he had lived and gov
erned ia Louisiana, but died in exile
that he knew her people to be loyal to
God and the Southern CoRfederaOy; and
on his recommendation AQpisiana passed
into the celestial city, amid the rejoicing
songs of the heavenly hosts.
The next State called to judgment
was the Lone Star State of Texas and

Our special correspondent writes from
Berlin on Tuesday: "The encounter be-
fore Metz on Sunday was an attack on
the rear guard Of the French, and the
repulse of sortie from the fortress, by
the troops of the eastern (Prussian)
and the seventh (Westphalian) army

having directed the movement.
ut is probable that the siege Of Metz
will begin at once. The siege train at
Magdeburg left for France on Saturday,
and all siege artillery is to follow it.
Strasburg, it is supposed, will bo besieged
exclusively by South Germans, chiefly
Baden troops. An early surrender is,
however, anticipated, after the earnest
ness Of the siege will have been sufiici-
emily shown, but the impression is not
so in the case of Metz.

Care of Sucking Colts.

THOSE who raise colts usually exercise
care III the selection of good stock to
brea0rOm, but many greatly neglect to
give the colts proper attention during
hot weather while they are running with
dams. IL is not uncommon to see those
that were healthy and well developed in
early summer looking puny and their
hair falling off before autumn. This
trouble arises from allowing the colt to
draw milk while the blood of the mare is
in high state of heat from violent exer-
ton.
When the dam is used in hot weather
upon the farm or road so rs to heat her
blood, the colt should never be allowed to
suck until she has fully cooled Off Let
him fill himself before the mother is put
into the harness. and if it is important
that he should accompany the dam, tie
him at her side so that he will he unable
to draw milk until he is liberated for it is
much better that he should go hungry a
few hours than to take his food while it is
i'll a fevered state.
Ii the mare is to make long distance
in hot day, and return at night, it is
best to leave the colt at home, and draw
the mix from the udder by hand once or
twice during the day, and upon returning,
then allow the colt to ill himself gradu-
ally as the milk is secreted
Colts Injured from heated milk seldom
recover from 1T for year or two, and
many times never. They become reduced
in flesh, get lousy in the fail, and during
the first winter of their existence, when
they need health and strength, as under
any circumstances it is the most critical
period of their growth, they have just lie
enough to enable them to move, and the
second summer, the proper time for de
velopment is spent in thSYecuperation OF
! lost vitality.
We usually wean colts at from four tc
! five months old, according to the time o.
year. If not worked, the mare should b,
put on short grass or feed, and MIXED oc
casionally for two or three DAYS. Tn,
colt should have a little oats ipartiall,
grOund) every day, and be entirely out O
sight and hearing of its mother. Man,
are, we think, too careless of their colt
at or about the time they are weaned. A
far as our experience goes, we cOnside
this the most important time in a colt
lite as far as Lis future health, size ant
disposition are concerned. If he is thel
neglected as to feed and care, he will
probably show it during the remainder O
his life. If he is not already so, h
should be Immediately halter broken
and haudled every day if possible, bu
upon no account abused. He should b.
taught to mind, but rather through al
feclion than through fear; if the latter i
the cause, you will never know when O
how long he will obey you; but if from
the former, you may expect his obedenc
to last as long as the cause which pro
| duces if -UOyStmIu'S NrO10l

Make Home Pleasant.

DON'T be afraid of little fun at home,
good people. Don't shut up your house,
lest the sun should fade your carpets !;
and your hearts, lest hearty laugh should
shake down some Of the musty old cob
webs therei Ii you want to ruin your
sons, let them think that all mirth and
social enjoyment must be left on the
threshold without, when they come home
at night. When once a home is regarded
as only place to eat, and drink, and
sleep in, the work is begun that ends in
reckless degradation.
Young people must have fun and relax
alton somewhere; if they do not find it
at their own hearth-stOnes, it will be
sought at other and perhaps less profitable
places Therefore, let the fire burn bright
~ at night, and make home delightful
with all those little arts that parents SO
well understand. DO not repress the
buoyant spirits of your children; half an
hour of merriment around the lamp and
freight of home, blOts ont the reInem-
brarce of MANY care and annoyance
during the day, and the best safeguard
they can take with them INTO the world,
Is the unseen influence of bright little
domestic -Erchdnge.

WHILE up the river a few days ago,
says the Missouri Democrat, we heard a
rich one on some poor fellow whose name
has escaped us. He was padding to
Vicksburg in a dug out, and had been in
formed Of certain locality called Rick's
Bend, which is eighteen miles around,
and in one place about a hundred yards
across. He was advised to land at the
narrow point and drag his craft over, but
he passed the spot going down without
observing il, and padded on eighteen
miles around. until he struck it on the
other side. Landing at once, he dragged
his boat across, and went gliding on down
with a light heart, till he came within a
few PAGES of the same spot where he had
dragged across before. Thinking it was
new cutoff he went ashore and tugged
his canoe over again. When he got back
to the river second time, he sauntered
around little to- stretch himself, and
soon discovered an old newspaper, out of
which he bad taken his breakfast in the
morning. IL was now about SHUTDOWN,
and as he had padded tbirty-six miles
without any fiattering progress, he scut-
tied his dugOut with "a Ratchet, built IA

How TO Examine Horses Eyes.

For the purpose of examining the eyes,
the horse ought to be led into a room
which admits very little or, better, no light
mt all, on three sides, and is open on the
fourth one; in the most cases stable, barn,
etc, the main door opened and Jail others
closed, Will answer the purpose. We have
to lead the horse with his head toward the
light, 50 that by advancing or backing him
we can let fall into his eyes just as much
or as little light as we please, and thereby
observe the expansion and contraction of
the pupils, and as we have at the same time
his eyes sufficiently illuminated, we are
able to look into the interior of the eye
ball. In an open space, where the light
comes from more than one side, this is i'm
possible
ToavOid mistakes, we have to examine
all the different points of the eye singly
and collectively, and strictly 10 compare
them with the corresponding parts the
other side, commencing with the auxil-
Iary organs. of course, a clear sky IA
cilitates such an examination; a cloudy
sky sometimes makes it difficult and fog
gy weather, a rain or snow storm, or twi-
light renders it impossible.
= Glittering or white objects being just
/ opposite and reflected in the eyes to be
/ examined, or the approaching of persons
with white dresses, white hats, glittering
| buttons, etc, to the horse should not be
! allowed, for sometimes it is rather difficult
to discriminate such reflections from
/ white or opaque specks in the crystalline
| lens, or its capsule. We must, also, be
careful in examining eyes, when the
ground is covered with snow, or when
whte-p painted houses, fences, etc, win
do rith toi
etc, rejecting the light, are just opposite.
! Brides with blinkers should be taken oil,
as they prevent a close examination.
If the above rules are complied with,
nobody, who has correct eye aud little
talent for observation, will fail Ia detect
even the slightest defects. Cor. Chicago
Tribune.
