publican organ, frankly confesses that
the amnesty bill was postponed by the
Senate until after the holidays, to keep
Mr.. Vance, of North Carolina, out. That
paper says
Mr.. Vance was elected by large ma
jority of the Legislature, and his disa-
bilities have not been removed, and he
could not, therefore, be admitted. Mr.
Abbott urged his friends to postpone the
amnesty bill until the committee on
elections could report IN his favor, or at
least against Vance, and they postponed
one of the most important subjects of
the session to crafty him"

To Prevent Stock Eating Wood.

One of our substantial subscribers, in
recent conversation, gave his expert.
ence in training meat stock affected
with the habit OF eating wood, chewing
bones, etc. His cattle were one spring
affected this way they became thin in
flesh, refused 10 eat hay, and presented
a sickly appearance. He had no i'm
preston that their food lacked the con-
sttuents for making bone, but his neigh
bors used bone meal without noticing
any good results whatever. AT last he
put about four bushels Of leached ashes
IN his barnyard, and threw out to them
about shovelful each day. They all
ate as if with evident relish. After
turning them out to pasture, he put one
peck of dry ashes per week on the
ground in the pasture. They ate all up
and gnawed off the grass where it had
been lying. The cattle began to i'm
prove, gaining flesh and looking better
than they had done for several years.
He says this morbid appearance was UNI
noticed years ago, from the fact that
the ground was ashy from the burning
of the woods and land clearings. Lat
terly he gives one quart of ashes mixed
with the same quantity of salt to twelve
head of cattle, about once week.

good result, and on the Goth Of March
She laid flat on her side, unable to turn
over, and had not been on her feet for
more than ten days, when my father,
DR.. Brown, handed me a bottle Of car
bolic acid, and told me to use it as fol-
lows Ten drops oncC day in drink,
then put thirty drops in one gill of hot
vinegar and battle the back over the
kidneys once day.

The Investment of Savings.

A prominent New England banker,
having sold TO his customers a consider
able amount of Northern Pacific rail
road bonds, decided TO make an exami-
nation of the accessible parts of the
line of the road, TO see for himself the
character and progress of the work, the
quality OF the company's lands, the ma
ture of the country tgaversed and the
prospects of the enterprise generally.
He spent three months of the present
season in making the tour, going first
to the Pacific coast and visiting the
route in Washington Territory, along
the Puget Sound Basin and Columbia
Valley, to the western slope of the
Rocky Mountains, then returning east.

in Dakota and Minnesota.
After thorough examination he con-

various sections Of the line; s. The
resources possessed by the Northern
Pacific Railroad Company, in its muniti-

the cost of building and equiping the
entire road, and provide depots, docks
and other facilities; 6. The belt of
country along the middle Of which the
road runs, and whose trade, travel and
business are naturally tributary to it,
embraces the finest body OF unoccupied
