The Presidents Colt.

Despite blanketing and high living,
and careful attention, the Presidents
colt, which is afflicted after the same
manner as the equine which he recently
lost, is growing weaker day by day, and
but slight hopes are entertained that
the young steed will ever arrive at such
an age as to be able to draw the weight
Of the precious Executive. General
Dent paws a daily visit to the Executive
stable, and even his bland tongue fails
to arouse within his breast any enthu-
siasm. Slowly he sinks and pines away.
In the meantime the great Lord at
Long Branch telegraphs daily to know
the c condition OF the young colt and
desires to be apprised of the approach
of the great destroyer, and thereby, by
being at the death-bed, evince more
gratitude for the dying colt than he did
for the War Secretary, who made LOT
him all the honors he ever possessed
We'll may it be asked, "Whither are we
drifting?

The ROYAL Stables.

The Washington Patriot of last Sat
urday furnishes the highly important
information that after au absence OF
several weeks the President, accom-
panied by part of his military staff"
honored the Capital with a flying visit
during the last two days. His first at
tentious were humanely rendered to a
sick colt, which the last bulletins Of
of the court journals announce to be
convalescent, thus happily relieving the
Executive mind from a serious cause OF
anxiety. In tearing himself away from
the bracing breezes Of Long Branch,
and renouncing for forty-eight hours the
charms of official intercourse and per-
sonal relaxation, with that eminent
statesman, Mr.. Thomas Murphy, who
now directs the destiny Of the New
York customs, and equitably distributes
the dividends of the General Order
Ring" the President has exhibited a
degree OF self-denial, which EFFORTS
praise from all sides. This and other
sacrifices are not compensated by the
fact that his salary is drawn with scru-
pulous regularity while at the Branch,
since his calm meditations at the sea-
side have undoubtedly as much value
for the country as his disturbed
thoughts here in Washington, amidst
angry factions and patriotic place
hunters.

Breeding swine.

The present rage among American
pig breeders to possess animals OF pure
blood, whether it be Berkshire, Essex,
Suffolk or any other breed, while likely
to prove ultimately Of general benefit to
the stock of swine in the country, Is fal
from being the end to which breeders
should aim at. AS general thing,
very few pigs are really thoroughbred,
and from the now, in England, we'll
known tendency of the hog to degene-
rate and become enfeebled in constitu.
ton, the moment the refining process
through in.and-in breeding is carried
beyond limited point, it will be well
for breeders to consider if it is not more
to their advantage rather to breed for
feeding purposes. than to aim at getting
fancy prices for fancy animals of GER
tain fixed type. Ithas been proved time
and again in Britain, that the cross-bred
pig is the one for profit in the pen.
What is wanted is to have good blood
in the males, with sufficient refinement
Of bone and smallness of offal, to insure
early maturity and quick feeding Cross
these males on sows OF larger and
coarser frame, with sound, healthy con-
situations, and we obtain pig that is a
good way ahead of the common sort
By keeping to the use Of well bred
males, selected with q view to possessing
the points that 60 to make up fine pig,
without regard to color or fancy points
in markings, we get healthy, thrifty
pigs that will readily attain fair weights
at an early age, on moderate amount
of feeding.
Ny experience in pig breeding teach
es that it is better to use small but thor
oughly we'll formed bears that are
quick, easy feeders Of their breed, rath-
er than larger ones, and never to use
the same boar more than one year.
The boar in all cases should be smaller
and finer than the sows to which he is
put. A cross between an Essex
and a Berkshire SOW will bring pigs
that for early maturity, good size
and quick feeding, will beat eth
er parent breed. So of a cross
between Suffolk boar and a Chester
White or Cheshire SOW. The losses
suffered by those who stick to one breed
and breed closely for the sake Of an i'm
aginary benefit supposed to reside in
tixity Of type, would drive them iuto
more sensible course were it not that
the present rage for fancy animals keep
up prices to a point that makes it pay,
even at the heavy cost OF losing many
filters every year through want Of stam-
in ain the sows.

short of work. without regard to the
parties of whom they may have been
received-so that different remittances
from the same party are seldom count
ed by the same counter successfully
yet it is found that remittances from
certain parties are almost always cor
rect, and that those from others are
habitually Incorrect. There are several
officers Of the Government whose remit

when reaching so large an amount as
$4,000 composed of all the various

correctness, and the discrepancy is quite

Remittances from some other cores
pondents, on the other hand, are quite
as invariably short" 30 that it is a
matter OF perfect certainty in the minds
Of the Treasury officers, when their re:
mittances are received, that they will
be found wanting to greater or less
amount. These facts seem to conclu-
sively show that the great mass of re-
ported shorts actually exist in the
money when received at the Treasurer
office.

Drowning BufalOcs.

A herd of two hundred and fifty but-

Missouri ri river, near the Milestone In

Interesting Facts About Mutilated
Currency.

Complaints are not unfrequently
received at the office Of the Treasurer
of the United States from officers of
the Department, bankers and others,
complaining that remlttances OF defaced
and mutilated currency, believed to have
been correct when forwarded for re-
de,option, have been subjected to unjust
deductions for alleged shorts" and
intimating pretty broadly that these
deficiencies are due to gross careless
ness or dishonesty on the part of the
Treasury counters. The following state
ment of facts, officially obtained, shows
that such charges are based upon a
misapprehension Of the facts, and etfec-
tually vindicates the counters
Every package of currency received
for redemption is delivered, with the
seals unbrokeu, to the lady by whom
Il is to be counted. The seals are bro
ken and the package counted by her in
the presence of her fellow-counters, some
one of whom, in case Of the discovery
Of apy considerable discrepancy, Is
called upon to verify the count, and
the notes are then cut In two by ma
chinery, one end being sent to one
office and the other to another, for re-
count. If any mistake is discovered IN
either of the latter offices it is at once
traced by means of the name on the
wrapper that surrounds the notes, to the
counter in the Treasurer office, who Is
required to make good all shorts and
coupterfeits discovered in money count
ed by her. Ifany counter should nap
itually report an unusual NUMBER Oh
"shorts" suspicion would be soon dlrec'
ted toward her, and her dishonesty
would be speedily discovered,
ThatIthis system, though not secur-
ing infallibility, does guard etfectualiy
AGAINST dishonesty or carelessness, 10
evidenced by the following facts:
First. The "overs" discovered in
money redeemed and counted at the
Treasury more than equal the shorts,
and nearly equal the "shorts' and coun-
terfeits together. The lovers" are, OF
course, quietly pocketed by the sendels,
while the shorts" even il found in the
money of a person to whom overs
have been frequently returned, provoke
a yastdeal of complaint, and sometimes
of abuse. Those who are habltuaiiy

the loudest complaint when shorts
are fastened upon them.e g'g, . .s -.
