ENGLAND's ATTITUDE IN THE PEACE
NEGoTIATIoNs.-Certain diplomatic COR
respondence is published which shows the
part taken by England in the negotiations
for peace at Versailles. Broglie, who ar
rived in London on the oath ultimo, ad-
dressed note.to the Foreign Office COM
planning of the indifference exhibited by
England towards France, and asking Gran
vile to obtain a prolongation Of the armis-
tice and reduction of the indemnity from
the onerous amount of six milliard francs.
Granville declined to interfere as to the
armistice, but telegraphed the same day to
Versailles representing that it was impossi-
BILE for France to pay so great sum as six
millards of francs. Odo Russell, the
British representative at Versailles, writes
that he received the dispatch too late to
admit of his interposition in the negotia-
tions, but expressed the belief that Count
Bismarck received duplicate of the dis
patch before the indemnity was finally
settled at five milliards of francs.

A THIRSTY VERMoNTER hitched his horse
to a freight car standing on side track,
while he proceeded leisurely toward a
neighboring saloon, in quest of " tangle-
foot" Meantime, the freight-train moved
on, and when the Vermonter returned, his
team was missing. Proceeding up the
track, he came to wrecked wagon, a
wheel here, spoke there, and soon after
stumbled upon the poor horse, which had
been choked to death ere the halter parted.

A MARRIED WOMAN AND MOTHER WHO
GoEs TO SoHooL.-The love of learning in
some minds docs not die after marriage,
and perhaps not after death. There is a
little person with long, faxen hair, a
straight, thin nose, and watery blue eyes,
attending one of our city schools, who has
been married over year. Herself and her
dear old man (their combined ages about
35 years. came here from Alabama shortly
after they were made one. They were
considerably annoyed at first by the bulky
charges of unscrupulous boarding-hous
keepers, and were kept knocking around
like cloud in gale of wind for some
months.
Finally, however, peace settled upon
them in two-roomed cottage in back
alley, where they can live cheap. She
has been going to school for couple of
months, and whenever the weather is fine
her little colored servant goes to meet her
with the baby about three o'clock in the
afternoon. 1t is as curious as interesting
to observe the little faxen-haired mother
exchange her books and slate for the bum
die of shawl with face peepipg out of it
at the street corner 1t is also affecting to
observe that little face grow red under the
kisses Of the school girl, as they are ap-
piled, with undiminished fervor, day after
day .--MemphiS appeal.

The examination of witnesses in the case Of
John and Hugh Smith, charged with the mur-
der of John Christie, whose body was found in

last evening.
John Smith was sent on for indictment, and
was allowed bail in the sum of $4,000 for his
appearance before the grand jury, on the first
Monday in April next.
Hugh was discharged, there being no evi-
dence to connect him with the crime.

SCRATCHES.

The disease known rs grease or scratches
may be known by the eruption, scabs. or
running discharge from the cavity just above
the heel, ard it usually comes from foul air
in stables, or want of cleanliness about the
feet Washing the parts daily with CASTLE
soap and wiping dry, tends to prevent the
trouble-besides which there are many pre-
scribed remedies, having more or less eflca-
cy, and variously adapted to different states
of the disease. We once had horse that
was always attacked in hot weather when
driven on the road, by the adhesion of dust
to the parts above the hoof when those parts
were covered with Precipitation. Frequent
washing, and occasionally applying very
weak solution Of chloride of lime, before the
disease made progress answered the purpose.
When more advanced. II poultice made of
slippery elm bark and fine powdered char
coal, has healing and cleansing effect-to
be very often renewed. If much cracked,
linseed oil and charcoal, in equal parts, with
us much sulphur, make good poultice. At
tend to strict cleanliness and if the horse is
in poor condition. give him good diet and Il
regular daily run to grass.-COuntry Gent.

LEATHER BITS.

At the North Kennebcc fair we saw II colt
exhibited, guided by II bride in which was II
pair of leather bits. The gentleman stated
to us that he had used them for some time,
and would have no other kind especially in
winter. He was satisfied n pair would last
with safety three years, unless the animal
was unusually vicious; and gave the opinion
of quite eminent horsc-men us to their value,
who said they would last II year, even with
the most unmanagable horse. Made of green
hide or undressed leather, they would he
much more durable, and would perhaps
better serve the purpose, although those to
which we refer rs having seen, were of
common leather. We should think they
colts, and the Younger colts ars made nc,
quanted with the bit-after they are weaned
the better.-Maine Turner.

Stock Raisin9.
FROM GRASS TO HAY.

There is no part of the year, or portion of
the life of horses, cattle, and sheep, especial
ly store stock. in which they so often suffer
for lack of care food, and shelter, rs during
the season from the failure of grass to the
time when they are regularly installed in
winter quarters, and are receiving their Win
ter, daily rations. The bleak winds, chilling
storms, long nights, cold ground, and frost
bitten grass of November, have very differ
ent effect upon I'LL farm stock, from the warm
stables, soft bedding, early cut hay, appetz-
ing roots, and daily nursing of January
and February.
OF the many excuses offered by farmers for
neglccting their stock ut this season, scarcely
one of them is worth the hearing; but still
they are made Understandings if not orally,
and have the effect to stultify and quiet the
conscience of the her,lsman, to the great de-
triment of his stock.
If every stock-raiser would receive us
truth, embrace it as such, fully comprehend
ing its Importance and various bearings, that
any and everything that much or little inter-
feres with the comfort of animals, lessons
lllcll lulll COSlS ullll ublliilS anu CtHls,
there would he much less loss in the weeks
intervening between summer and winter
quarters. There is such reluctance to COM
mence feeding out the grain, hay, coarse feed
in the barn, and roots in the cellar. that the
stock is often left to brouse and grub on the
hills, among the bushes on the meadows or in
the woods, ms long and late in autumn as they
c.1
with the mistaken idea that until they begin
to look lauk and sharky. they are "getting
along" and the winter feed in the barn is
saved!
But stock may look full without hunger
being satisfied; yes, and they may be full
constantly, and all the time growing poor MS
it matters little whether they are full Of
beached stubble, grass, bushes, leaves, OF
wind.
And if they have no place to feed daytime:
away from the bleak and chilling autumn
winds, or to lie nights except on the cold and
wet earth, and unprotected from wind ant
storm, they will be uncomfortable, and nee.
essarily deterorate in consequence.
A fat animal keeps warm easier, and Of
course requires less 1OOu Tor fuel, than leaf
one; and it is far better that stock should
