that the influence of the woman and the
class of which she is the representative
and without rival. as well as the skill
and eloquence of her counsel, would find
no difficulty in moving California jury
to allow her to escape. Perhaps few
months ago conviction would have been
more difficult, but the reaction in the pub
lie mind under the result of the notorious
acquittals In murder cases where the insan-
ity dodge was tried, created by general
discussion and deeper consideration Of
the matter, has developed and strengthen
ed public sentiment that is sufficient to
even cause the conviction of so hard a sub
iect as the California murderess. With
such result in California, it may not be
unreasonable to hope that New York ju-
ries may be encouraged and enlightened
so that they too may render honest YER
diets according to the evidence.

would be more effective if northern men

Linseed Tea For Horses.

Linseed tea is not only valuable re-
storative for sick horses, but it is exceed
ingly useful in cases of inflammation of
the membranes peculiar to the organs of
respiration and digestion it shields and
lubricates the same; tranquilizes the ir-
ritable state of the parts, and favors
healthy action. We have prescribed
linseed tea in large quantities, during the
past month, for horses laboring under the
prevailing influenza they seem to de-
prive much benefit from it, and generally
drank it with avidity. Aside from the
benefit we deprive from the action of
mucilage and oil, which the seed contains
its nutritive elements are of some account
especially when given to the animals la
boring under soreness in the organs of
deglutition, which incapacitates from
swallowing more solid food. In the
event of an animal becoming Frustrated
by Inability to masticate or swallow more
food, linseed tea may be resorted to, and
in case of irritable cough, the addition of
a little honey makes it still more useful.
To prepare linseed tea, put a couple of
handfuls of the seed into bucket, and
pour gallon and half of boiling water
upon it. Cover it up short time, then
add couple Of quarts of cold water,
when it will be fit for use
