A man was arrested at Eaton Rapids, Mich,
for stealing, and sent to jackson to be con-
fined in jail to await trial. After he was
taken to jail, he received a letter from his
wife, in Ocean county, says the Jackson Ct
isen, announcing that his only child had been
scalded to death. 1T appears that at the
time of the accident whereby the child lost
its life, neighbor came in, and, taking up
the little one, held it in his arms until it ex-
pired. For this humane service he charged
the mother $50, which she paid, though it
left her penniless. After the child had been
buried, she desired to see her husband, but
the extortionate demands of her unfeeling
leighbor-whose name, we are sorry to say,
we have fNrgotten-left her without means,
and she was compelled to make the distance
on foot. She accordingly walked from her
home to Jacks9n-a distance of sixty miles
through the mud and rain, and arrived there
last week, tired and heartsick Sheriff Shaw
and his family provided the unfortunate
woman with home until she had recovered
from the effects of her fatiguing walk and
misfortures, and then procured her place
as a domestic in a family in that city-she

GREASE, OR SCRATCHES.
From the Western Farmer


This being Just the worst time of all
the year for the prevalence of the above
disease, it will be well for all interested
to be very careful in the management OF
the horse, especially to look we'll to the
heels. Scratches is nothing but incipient
Grease, and often, when neglected, will
become fully developed and assume a
type Of disease very perplexing and diff
cult to manage.
Cause.-The horse, at this time of the
year, from natural causes, Is subject to
attacks of various diseases, from which at
other times he has perfect immunity, but
to none is he more liable than Scratches
or incipient Grease. In the whole system
he is more gross than at any other time of
the year, and wherever there is tender
spot subject to irritation, there will
some form of disease show itself, and in
none more surely than in the heels, for
they are subject to the action of cold
frozen mud, thawed out during his regu-
lar services, he very often (nearly al

zinc. and an hour before hitching up, be-
smear all the heels affected.
This constitutes the best application
with which am acquainted, and con-
tinually use it in my practice, with the
very best result. To be more sure, and
especially with bad cases, give ball :

AN INTELLIGENT oRsE.-Turf, Field and
Farm says: Almost every day anecdotes of
horses are told us which illustrate the
capacity for thinking in the equine world
But the latest incident comes from Missouri.
In a certain town in the State lives horse of
more than ordinary intelligence. His
owner is q physician, and church going
man. Recently the horse was left standing
in the road, After time he became i'm.
patient, and went in search of his owner
With logical calmness he proceeded to the
faVorite haunts of the doctor. Not finding
him he walked around to the church. He
looked up at the dark windows, heard no
singing, and then came TO the plain conclu-
sion that it was not the night for service, or
there would be flood Of light from the
window panes, not to mention the racket
made from the choir or preacher. He turned
carefully so as not to upset the buggy, and
with puzzled air, marched slowly back to
his masters house.

THE ARABIAN NIGHTs.-The origin of the
/" Arabian Nights" is disputed. That some
of the most fanciful and enchanting tales in
the collection are derived from an Indian
source appears undeniable although notions
and images suited to the sphere of ideas of a
Mohammedan, and an inhabitant of Western
Asia, have been substituted for every allus-
ion to polytheism and Hindoo institutions
In England the Arabian Nights made
their way among the people at once, because
in addition to the stories of enchantment
which interest the young, they exhibit true
picture of life and manners, which comes
home to the bosoms Of men in whatever cline
they breathe. With all their faults there is
trace of early patriarchal religion in those
immortal tales. The presiding care of a
benefcent Providence they uniformly &C.
knowledge they treat as an opposing and
formidable power the spirit of evil ; and they
assign to both subordinate agents, who, under
the forms of propitions or malignant genii,
manage all the affairs of the world. This is
system easily comprehended, and the ex-
citing character Of the incidents constituting
majority of those stories easily reconciles US
to the marvellous machinery by which they
are conducted.

tue tree died. and the wife lived but day or
two after. Now You would be surprised at
the number of men that are planting trees in

after their respective, if not respected, wives
and the sickliest looking trees that can be
found. too-trees that, with the tenderest

a projected incursion.

SENECA, Mo-, Oct. 2, 1S71-From st.
Louis $50 miles to the Southwest brings
one to the borders of the Indian Nation.
Of this $50 miles the road runs for the
first hundred over pleasant valley and gen.
tly sndulating uplands; through fields and
meadows, coquetting sometimes for miles
on its way with such beautiful streams as
the GascOnade, crossing and recrOssing it,
frightening the cattle from its banks and
waking up the people in the cOmforta-
bic farm houses along the way, and then as
if discarding all idea of pleasure, leaves
these scenes at once and strikes boldly out
into the very heart of the Ozark Hills; into
a country for the most part as rough and
uncultivated, as free from all traces or signs
of civilization as it was a thousand years
AGO, For nearly another hundred miles
does the train on this Southern Pacific
Road, winding and twisting, hugging the
great hills, creeping slowly around fright
full curves, putting up steep grades, and
creeping dismally down sleeper ones, pick
its tortuous course among the Ozark Hills;
and then once more "out of the wilder
ness" comes tearing down into the open
country, and winds up with a triumphant
whistle at the town of Springfield.
The Ozark House is not a bad house, and
the tidy young girls (Caucasian) who come
to take your order at the supper table don't
make you any more dissatisfied with things
than you would be without them; they are
all neat and perfectly well-behayed-a little
partial to the best-looking fellows, probably,
but don't mind that respectful and atten-
tive, and certainly decided Improvement
