To break horse of pull on the halter

Put on strong halter put the halter
rope or strap over the top of the msnger,
and back through hole in or under the
frame of the manger and between the horse s
fore legs, through the circingle and back to
the him leg. Buckle a strap, with a ring
on it, around the ankle tie the halter strap
to this ring. Keep the horse tied in this
way one week. Il is sure to break the horse
of the habit of pulling. 1t is worth the
price of the Rural for five years to any one
who has horse with this vice."

1t is not the habit of radicals to find any
thing CONNIE ndsble in the administration of
Andrew Johnson, but we find tribute to
that administration in an official document
from the treasury department that deserves
a little attention. Mr.. &C. G. Norvell, in
charge of advertising United States loan,"
in an advertisement of the new loan, now on
the market, dated "Tressury office, New
York, April l5," makes the following state
ment:
The reductionsof she public debt since the close
of the war of the rebellion, and the relief at the
same time, to tbe annual burden OF interest, are
as follows:
Principal of debt 1865 1855, 995, 276
Paid under johnson ....,,,.,.. 265, 595, 1873
Principal March 4, 1869 49I 1895, 904
Paid under Grant 223, 1884, 73
Present public debt. 26S, 3l6, 23l
- g. Paid under Johnson" $685., 595,37l;
"paid under Grant" 1929, 083673; differ
ence in favor of johnson, $42,5ll sos. So,
them after all the radical coudemnations OF
Johnson's administration, and all the rsdi-
cal praises of the financial management of
Grants, we have the radical admission that
Johnson paid over forty.two millions more
of the public debt than Grant. Andrew
johnson, in his retirement at Greenville,
Tenn, when he reads this, will be able to
laugh at seeing his enemies forced 10 bear
unwilling tribute to the superiority of his
policy over that of his successor.

Since the battles in the neighborhood
of Metz, in August, the bloodiest lighting
in the progress of the war between the
Germans and the French has been on
the Loire, between the German army
under Prince Frederick Carl and the
French masses raised and put in the
field by the energy of Gambetta. A
military correspondent thus writes Of q
scene. at Beaugency, after the week OF
battles in that neighborhood: 'aisi
The whole town was a vast hospital,
and there was only enc doctor capable
of performing amputations, In the
| theater alone were upward OF two hur-
bred desperately wounded men. 1t was
scene which those who speak lightly Of
war should have witnessed. Would that
those who hold in their hands the power
to make peace could have seen it for FIVE
minutesi There was no doctor for many
hours in the place, The cold was in
tense, and many a mans life slipped
away, there being no one sufficiently
skilled to bind up his wounds The dead
lay thick among the dying, and as the
former were dragged out their places
were instantly filed, Miserable objects,
with broken Jaws or faces half shot away,
wandered about pointing to their dread
full wounds, and making piteous signals
for water, which it was impossible for
them to swallow. Officers and men, vete-
rams and boys, all lay in one indistin.
guishable mass of misery, Every moan
that the human voice can utter rose from
that heap Of agony, and the cries for
waterl for the love of God, waterl \
doctorl doctorl never ceased. 1t was
indeed a relief when the surgeon came
from other similar scenes, and crying
loudly Voyons, on soBt les grGrement
bIessssf Gu sont les anlputatioRsi set
to work with determined but kindly en-
ergy. Il will be a satisfaction to the sub
scribers to the great English Fund for
the sick and wounded to know that num-
bers of wounded French were spared un-
utterable torture, and owe their lives TO
the supply of English chloroform, blank
cts, bandages, and wine which was fortu-
nately forthcoming on that fearful
night.

The t" Plug Ugly . of the Sea.

One of the greatest seourges known to
the small fish on our coasts and in our
river (says a writer in the Boston Com
mercial Bulletin) is the blue fish. This
fellow is one of the most ferocious and
savage of the sea thugs. He is not only
plug ugly" of the FIRST water, in his
native element, but is as Unsuitable in
appetite as he is active and merciless in
pursuit. In the early Colonial times the
blue fish swarmed about the New Eng
land coast in great numbers, but from
all we can gather did not have the effect
of devouring all the smaller fish in our
waters. On the contrary, at the time
they were first noticed here, fish were
unusually abundant. In 1864, however,
they suddenly disappeared and were alb
sent from our waters for seventy years,
and did not make their appearance
again until about twenty-five years ago,
when they were caught in Buzzard S
Bay. They stayed around our coasts
for some years, and again departed
They returned again about five years
ago, and since that time have been con-
slant guests on our shores. 1t may be
that the ancients we're less observing
than we are, and did not notice the
havoc made by the blue fish; but since
they reappeared Of late years it has been
observed that certain kinds Of fish have
almost disappeared. 1t is said that in
1865, when the menhaden came into
spawn, the blue fish followed them in
such numbers as to hem them in in i'm
mense masses in the shoal water, and so
closely and diligently did they guard
them them that those of the menhaden
which we're not devoured we're driven up
the rivers and kept there all summer,
much against their inclination, no doubt

LEGAL wIttieis,ns.

In the Albany Law Journal we find
these little chirpings:
The remark of an exchange, that
many Of our successful lawyers com.
menced life as preachers is gracefully
corrected by one of the legal gentlemen
referred to, who begs leave to state that
he began his life as an infant.
A country justice of the peace, on
having his attention called to the fact,
as he was about to enter judgment in q
certain case, that he had not jurisdiction
on account of the amount involved be
ing over two hundred dollars, promptly
responded, "the court has thought OF
that and discovered q remedy. The
court will enter judgment for the full
amount, and then issue two executions,
each for half.
In recent action against the corpora
ton of Canterbury, England, to recover
damages for injuries received by the
plaintiff, he having been thrown from his
carriage in the nighttime by coming in
contact with a pile Of stones left in the
highway, the somewhat singular defense
was set up that the accident would not
have occurred in the daytime, and that,
as darkness was the act Of God, so was
the accident" The Lord Chief Justice
is said to have ruled against this point
with some warmth.
Some years since, while Judge, who
now occupies a very high judicial posi-
ton in the State, was holding circuit in
one of the western counties, case of a
trivial character IVES called on. His
honor, somewhat riled." remarked that
such suits, instead of taking up the time
of the court, would be more properly
disposed of by submitting the same to a
jury of old women. The plaintiff attor-
ney quietly replied. that, without taking
exception to the opinion Of the honorable
court, he thought his cause could not
have been before more appropriate
tribunal.

consists Of the seeds Of tree known to
botanists as the Paulina sorbitis,

duces a fruit about the size Of a walnut,
containing FIVE or six seeds. The seeds
are roasted, mixed with water, and dried.
Before being used they require grinding
when they fall into q kind Of powder.
The active principle is an alkaloid iden-
teal with that found in tea aud coffee,
but there is twice as much Of it in

are similar TO those Of tea and coffee.
