PErRIFIED WHALEs.-The follow
ing appears in the Los Angeles
News of the 81. instant:
While "Uncle" Billy Rubottom
was engaged, Il few days ago, in
quarrying stone near the top of a
very high hill near his residence,
he struck a promising lead OF petri-
tied whales. The bones are very
numerous and completely turned
into stone. The vertebrr, particu-
larly, were found in great numbers,
and are easily recognizable from
their peculiar form. How the
whales got there, are questions for
Geologists. to whom the discovery
offers a fine field for examination
and research. The presence of the
remains Of marine animals upon
such an elevation is a fact difficult TO
explain.
The wives of men Of sentiment
are not always the most appreciatlve
women. Jean Paul represents
Nlehenkar as reading one OF his
beautiful imaGinings to his wife,
who listened with evelids cast down
and bated breath. As he closed, the
~harer Of his JOY beamed forth with:
Don't put on your left stocking to-
morrow. dear; I must mend that
holo in it.
Josh Billings says in his "Lecter:"
Rats originally came from Norway,
and nobody would have cared if they
had originally staid there" " \ lady
friend remarks that they still show
their gnaw-away origin.

Post, ON recent excursion, is de-
scrihed by rival sheet as smiling

Short Dresses.

Jennie June. speaking of the August
fashions, discourses thusly on short
dresses:
1t is not very long since lady's social
position could be gagged, it was said, by
the length of her train; to-day, tits not too
much to say that her standing can be best
judged by the greater or less cost of and
elegance of her short dresses.
The lady of economical habits and limit
ed means, who lives in city. and wishes
to present good appearance upon small
sum, is afraid to put money in short dres-
ses, so she makes them out of cheap mate
rial, or alters them over into Scant gentili-
ty from some worn and faded representa-
tive of former elegance, which has seen its
"best days. and eXpends her principal en-
ergies upon her long dresses, which are to
make a first appearance at winter balls and
parties, and prove her claim to social dis
tinction at summer watering places.
This is the best she can do. Her train is
as long as that of any other woman, and
i'm it she is a success, but in the beauty,
elegance and variety of her short dresses
she falls below her average, and she knows
it. .. ..r -.rsr.
Miss A. and Mrs. B. can afford to keep
an elegant short dress of silk and muslin,
because it is lovely, either in the day or
evening, and they have fresh one ofwhite
pique. trimmed with costly MADEIRA en-
brOidery for tomorrow, another for Batiste
of French lawn for the next day, and so on
for many days to come; but poor Mrs. Cs
plain linen or simple lawn looks out of
place surrounded by gay toilettes, and, be-
sides, she is compelled to be economical
even of these, or they will require wash
ing, which would be an additional item of
expense so she retires back upon the in
convenient grandeur of her train. and
while somebody else Is estimating the cost
of her grand toilet" is wishing she could
array her evening promenade in a short
dress

BrOwnlOw on Johnson.

Speaking of the prominent public men
in Tennessee, Senator Brownlow men,
toned Andrew Johnson, whom he said he
had not spoken to or seen in six years.
Johnson, he said, was resting upon his
laurels, but was still ambitious to return
to public life, and contrived to get himself
called out on public occasions and invited
to speak at fairs,and school commencements
He believed the ex-President would be
candidate for Congress next year in the
district where he lives, which is now rep
resented by Roderick r. Butler. john
son felt no great friendship for the Demo-
cratic party, which he thought had treat
ed him with great ingratitude; but he
would no doubt act with it, as the only po-
litical organization open to him. He con-
sidered him to be very remarkable man,
and said he had always been strictly
honest man, and for this was respected in
Tennessee by all his political enemies

Treatment of Wounds in Horses and Cattle

Many permanent blemishes which de-
preciate the value of horses might be pre-
vented by careful attention as soon as the
injury is inflicted. Broken skin on the knee
may sometimes, without proper treatment,
result in an ugly scar which will reduce
the selling value of horse one fourth or
more. In farmers stables horses are often
permitted to get loose, and the conse-
quence is that some morning the owner
finds one of his animals badly kicked.
A wound made by the sharp calks
of a horse shoe in winter time is
very ugly looking one, and needs some
little surgery to dress so as to avoid q bad
blemish; and yet it may be done by the
use of such skill as is at the command of
any one who can dress cut on his own
finger. In the first place, whenever an
injury is inflicted, it should be attended to
at once, or with as little delay as possible.
If any dirt is in the wound, it should be
well cleaned with soft sponge and luke
warm water. Then a proper needle-a
curved surgeons needlesshould be used
and stout silk twist, pass as many stitches
through the edges of the wound as will
draw them and hold them together.
These stitches should not be made as in
sewing cloth. but the thread is to be pass
ed in the skin at points directly opposite to
each other The two ends of the thread
should be tied into a secure knot after
drawing the edges of the wound closely
together. If the edges are ragged, some
care must be exercised to bring the CORES
pondDg parts into their proper place. If
swelling takes place, apply cold water un-
til it is reduced, and avoid all irritating or
spurious applications unless they become
necessary. Nature will generally perform
the cure if assisted to make proper start
If the wound should not seem inclined to
heal, and a stimulating application be-
comes necessary, the following ointment
has been found of great benefit: To one
pound of hogs-lard take quarter of pint
of spirits of turpentine and an ounce of
blue vitriol-sulphat of copper-powder
the blue vitriol very fine, melt the lard,
and stir in the other ingredients, until
cool; apply sufficient quantity to the
wound and healthy action will soon ell

A bad sell has been perpetrated upon
some gushing and amorous gentlemen of
New York city. A writer in the Star says
says that he recently published the follow
ing advertisement in the Herald:
IA young lady of good family desires
the acquaintance of young gentleman of
good standing and some personal attrac-
tions, with view ultimate to marriage.
She has a good marriage portion in her
own right. The jealousy of an ever watch
full guardian is the cause OF this step. Ad-
dress NJ. F., box =, post office"
One hundred and seventy-gve gay and
festive gentlemen answered the advertise
ment, and letters were written to forty OF
them to meet IN. F." in City Hall Park.
in front of the Registers Office, at o'clock
p. NJ, each gentleman to present himself
with flower in the button hole Of his
coat. At the appointed time there was a
gathering of the victims, each attired in
his best and wearing the flower. The per-
petrator of the joke watched the expectant
crowd for some time from a neighboring
window, and finally sent small boy out
bearing placard announcing that " NJ.
F." could not come that day. The crowd
vanished like the baseless fabric of a vls-
ion and left not a wreck behind" Ihe
personal advertisements of the Herald are
not studied now with as much interest as
they formerly were.

The famous Emma silver mine, in Utah,
is said to be now turning out an average of
one hundred tons of ore day, which is
worth S135 ton over and above the cost
of raising it, yielding profit of S1S,5OO
net every twenty-four hours, equal to S4,-
927 800 per annum. 1t is stated that the
mine includes vein about sixteen hun
dred feet or nearly third of mile in
length, extending down into the bowels of
the eaath indefinitely. At q depth of
twenty feet the vein of mineral was only
from twelve to eighteen inches in width,
while at its present depth of nearly two
hundred feet it presents ledge of solid
ore in some places over twenty feet wide.

SENATOR BRowNLow INTERVIEWED.
His Views ON Tcnnes.ee Politics.

From Knoxville letter to New York Tribune, Aug q
Speaking of Tennessee politics, Mr.
Browplow said that the Legislature met IN
October and would Try to gerrymander the
State so as to make all the Congress dis
tricts Democratic. They could not do this
with the First District, but they might
with Maynard's district-the Second. The
Democrats hated Maynard, and envied
him his talents and consistent record. He
spoke in high terms of Mr.. Maynard's
ability, integrity and usefulness as rep
resentative. The Legislature would, no
doubt, instruct him (Brownlow) how to
vote in the Senate, but he should pay no
attention, he declared, to their action, and
should reply that he did not acknowledge
the right of traitors to instruct him.
The Senator expressed strong hopes of
carrying Tennessee for the Republican
candidate for President next year. If har-
mony prevailed among the Republicans,
he was sure the State could be redeemed
from the Democrats. There is still consid
cradle feeling among the Republicans who
supported Stokes at the last gubernatOrlal
election, against those who voted for SEN
ter, whom they are disposed to prescribe
for their course in that campaign. This
trouble, he believed, could be healed. The
Senter men were as good Republicans as
any in The State.
inquired whether he thought the Ku-
klux had an organized existence in Ten
nessee. He replied that they had not in
East Tennessee, except at Chattanooga.
The Republicans were TOO strong here, and
if company of Kuklux should make
their appearance in Knoxville, in their
disguises, they would all be slaughtered.
In Middle and West Tennessee the Ku-
klux had formidable organization, as he
believed they had all through the South,
ready to spring into activity in time to
ing the ne negroes from voting, or forcing
them to vote the Democratic ticket. He
believed the only remedy for the Kuklux
troubles lay in the use of military force,
and it was folly to expect a fair election in
the South unless sufficient troops were sent
there to protect the blacks in their right to
vote without intimidation.

REDUCTION OF FREIGHTS WESTWARD
AND SOUTHwARD.-A material reduction
was made in New York yesterday in rates
of westward bound freights, to take effect
August l. All classes have been reduced
to Il cents per 100 pounds to this city, and
rates are made at 80 cents for heavy goods.
The New York merchants have long been
complaining that railroad freights were in
favor of Boston, Philadelphia. ETC., but
they will no longer have any ground for
discomfort on this subject. We under
stand that the Louisville short-line rail-
road will commence August l to take
bacon, giving through receipts to Little
Rock, Arkansas, at 80 cents per 100 pounds.
Cheap transportation is required now in
every direction to stimulate trade. Pro-

not bear heavy freight rates. Let us have
