the United States. We do not assert that
the ewly-discovered remedy is worth

story which has been so extensively cop

would bewell for the publishers of news
papers, in the country especially, to look
more carefully into all matter offered for
their columns. Frequently, under the
guise of romantic story, or domestic or
hygienic advice, the most effective de-

upon them, while the originators of the
swindle laugh in their sleeves at the gull

sCircumstances alter cases. says an
ancient adage. A friend of ours tells a
story that illustrates this saying to a
nieety. A picnic took place at point
up the river, recently, and the water fell
so rapidly that in the evening the boat
could not bulge from her moorings.
"Every man, woman and child, says our
informant, ''was tight-on a sand-bar:
It was fast crowd. 1 can tell YOU" Sew
eral of the party finally chartered a
skiff and started for the city. 1t was ex-
| tremely dark, and a hard wind was
| blowing, rendering the navigation some
what dangerous, and to add to the awk-
wardness of the situation, two or three
of the impromtu mariners couldn't swim
a stroke. At the mouth of the Miami the
frail bark suddenly struck some solid OBJ
iect and began to fill. One young gen
tleman kneltsdowp al tonce and began
pray ling for dear life, while some others
cast of th eirsc clothing and prepared for a
desperate struggle with the muddy Ohio.
The fervent petitions of our repentant
friend were interrupted by one of these,

WEAVING AND CARE OF CoLTs.-When
colts are weaned they should never be
put with older animals of their own spe-
cies; a few together with an abundance
of room, will do best, and the attention
should be from one person who has sense
enough to discover any little matter
going amiss before it is serious, or, in
other words, he should have the gump-
ton to prevent every ailment horseflesh
is heir to, instead of waiting toacure it.
For instance, there may be colt among
several which is SO shy and nervous that
he is afraid to stand up and eat with the
others, till his share is nearly consumed.
There may be another naturally very
slow in masticating, which would loose
much of its share, and thus these animals
would pine away, for if enough was
given so that there would be more than
the boldest would eat, it would still be
wrong, as there would be a cloying of
the fastest eaters. This matter could
easily be remedied by separating and
other preventatives adopted in time to
meet every contingency, but in no sue
cessful undertaking of horsetraining
should there be a constant use of drugs
or resort to quackery.
l will briefly add that the main hints
to be given, are to make the colts fat
against winter, by extra food-to the
mare as well as the colt-if it cannot be
done without, and do not hurry about
weaning, as by feeding the mare well
she will not be injured. Give bran, oats,
and corn TOO, if you like, but not more
than one-third of the latter in proportion
to the bran, and no corn unless the colts
run out i'll the field. The whole dry, for
saliva is the natural fluid to assist in
digestion, and the loss of it with bran,
ETC., by mixing water with it, is partly
the cause of the gaunt frames one so fire.

of food, unless you choose to give some
linseed jelly, it is time thrown away, as
also chaff-cutting, curry combing and

them) be broken with impunity.-Cor-

The Cincinnati National In
dwsfrial Exposition.

This exposition will open on the
9Th of September. Arrangements
have been entered upon with the con
fidence inspired by the success Of
the exposition of last year, and
doubtless the fame achieved by that
exposition will greatly extend the
field of its attractions: Extensive
additions have been made to the pre-
vious great buildings, and it may
safely bel said that for spaciousness,
convenience and centrality, there is
no exhibition building in the country
that equals it. The experience OF
last year will correct any imperfec-
tons that were felt IN the manage
ment of that, and may be expected
to reduce this to smooth system.
Much better arrangements are being
made for transportation. both of ar
ticles for exhibition and of visitors,
and the system of excursion trains
and of round trip tickets will be
much more extended than last year
: BY this cooperation, the railroads
can both increase their own profits
and greatly contribute to the success
and usefulness of the exposition. II

THE STATE OF THE WEATHER.

WASHINGTON, April 2-7.30 P. NJ.
The rising barometer and elearing-up wealth
er which were reported Saturday evening in
the lower Mississippi Valley, spread last night
rapidly north and eastward. Heavy or light
rains were experienced along the Atlantic
coast, with snow in the extreme east. Tie
weather this morning was clear in the
Gulf and South Atlantic States, aud
still continues so; but with falling barometer,
and fresh southwest winds, the clearing up
weather on the Middle and East Atlantic and
lower lakes is now succeeded by clouds and a
falling barometer. A heavy fall In the baron
eter is reported on the upper lakes. Probabili.
ties: 1t is probable that stormy weather, with
high winds, will be followed on Lake Michigan,
threatening weather on the lower lakes and
Mississippi Valley, and partially cloudy
weather and fresh winds on the Gulf and
Atlantic coasts.

Negroes Still DrilIing-How the
ADMINISTRATION Keep their Pledges

"A Question for n Joint Commute
TpRoM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT

COLUMBIA, S. G., april l.
Our peaceful and peace-lcving citizens took
large comfort from Governor SCOTS declarar
ton of his intention to withdraw the State
arms from the negro militia all over the State.
That comfort is we'll nigh worn out by the con-
slant drilling Of armed negro; troops in our
midst. In Columbia this drilling goes on now
almost entirely at night, and In their exclusive
halls; and this feature adds to the surmi 2
that officers somewhere in the government
conniye OF it, If it is not done directly by order.
Across the river, in Lexington, they drill IN
full outfit OF arms and accoutrements In the
streets by day. Last Saturday, a week ago
the 18th Of Aarch-thera was such a drill in
that village. My informant saw it.
The enttre importance In this matter lies i'll
the bad faith kept by the military branch of
the State government with the people. The
people do not care q button whether tho ne
grces nave guns and drill with them or not;
but they do care for bad faith, because in that
lies all the insecurity involved in this matter.
South Carolina is evidently looked TO rs
about to become an important stage tor the
great drama Of sensation; at least, the North
ern press seem to take that view Of 1t. There
are now more representatives of Northern
Journals here than usual. In Columbia there
are now Mr.. A. Pugh, of the New York Sun,
who is writing the most telling letters upon
our status that have yet gone from the South
to any journal not Democratic; and Mr.. E:
Cuthbert, of the New YORK. Herald, who has
been in other parts of the State for some
weeks, and who is getting at the very core OF
Ku-Kluxism aud the negrOcratlc despotism
generally; and Mr.. H. V. Redheld, who repre-
sents the Cincinnati Commercial.
The Legislative committee TO ''infestigateS
the affairs of the treasurer, comptroller.gene-
raj and financial agent, Is in session here, we
are told. No interest attaches to their work,
for they Tor a majority of them have been Sc
lected by the very body that prepared the
avenues to the frauds to be investigated.
Their names have not been printed in the
usual style by their organs, which looks odd.
Will this committee dare to produce and pub
lish the registry of those bills OF the Bank of
the State that Messrs. Neagle, Crews, Ralney
and Bosemon, many months ago counted,
registered and burned? Will they? Messrs.
Rainey and Bosemon ought to demand 1t.
