VALUE OF THE HORSE.

Most of MS have well-nigh forgotten
that the horse il an animal like ourselves
liable to pains aud aches and death.
We have come to think of him as ma
chine, on whose endurance we could
calculate as on that Of an engine, and
for whose mortality We could make
ample allowance in our. business under
the head of "wear and tear" We
really ought, therefore, to be thankful
the present epidemic has brought us
face to face with the startling fact, that
the sudden loss Of horse labor would
totally disorganize our industry and our
commerce, and would plunge social life
into disorder, would threathen the lives
of hundreds of thousands OF human
beings, especially il 1t occurred in winter
and might ex pose our great cities to des-
truction by fire. In short, We are now
for the FIRST time forcibly reminded that
a plague might break out among horses
as plaques have broken out among
men, which would sweep them away by
the hundred or thousand every day. and
which would momentarily battle science,
What we would bring to the notice
of the public il, that in our large cities
horses are exposed without let or hind.
erance on the part of sanitary autnosi-
ties to Just those conditions fiom which
the great pestilences among human
beings have sprung and do occasionally
spring. We take precautions in the
public interest against overcrowding,
filth, and absence Of ventilation in tene-
ment houses. but We take no precaution
against the overcrowding. filth, and
want OF light and ventilation OF city
stables; and yet every one of the large
stables may fairly and properly be called
hot-bed or horse disease,
The condition OF tho horse among US
is disgrace to civilization. The man.
ner in which we permit him to be used
by car companies for local transporta.
ton, the pavement with which we sup
ply him to do his work upon, and the
dens in which we allow him to be lodged,
are worthy of the Dark Ages. Our in
difference to these things is like the
indifference once shown about the physi.
cal condition Of workingmen; the result
may not be one which will rouse our
sympathy or fears, as the great human
pestilencss once did, but it may be one
from which our manufactures, and CON-
merce, and social life would suffer ter
rible. We tolerate in this oity about q
dozen great horse ergastula, every ono
of which not only disgraces US AS a civil
lized community, but as community
which makes . pretense of knowing
something Of sanitary science; and the
only excuse We offer for it is that the
victims Of these places are merely 'pri-
vate property" We now see that they
are not simply private property; they
are wheels in our great social machine,
the stoppage Of which means widespread
injury to all classes and conditions OF
persons, injury to commerce, to agri-
culture, to trade, to social life; and that
the sanitary inspection of horses and
their dwellings during their life is just
as necessary as sanitary arrangements
for the removal Of their bodies after
death in very we'll regulated municipality

The Reported Interview Between Gener-
ais Mcclellan and Lee at Sharpsburg.

The Atlanta correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial gives the following:
have heard as coming directly from Cen
eral Howell Cobb on the one hand, and dis
tinguished member of General McClellan's
staff on the other, a solution of the origin of
the story that after the battle of Sharpsburg
there was a meeting between Lee and Nc
Clellan to discuss the terms of peace. The
story, which have received from Conieder-
ate officer of high standing, who says that he
gotit from one of McClellan's staff and from
General Cobb himself, was thus: The day
afterthe battle of Sharpesburg several of the
most prominent Federal Generals went to Nc
Clellan and insisted that he should send Lee
a flag of truce and propose to meet him and
discuss terms of peace; that the events of the
war had clearly proved that neither could
conquer; that the soldiers should make peace,
and that the drawn battle of Sharpsburg was
a most suitable occasion to enter upon nego-
tiations.
The story goes that Mcclellan listened with
deep attention and expressed himself as ap-
proving the sentiments expressed, but said
that his unpopularity with the Administra-
ton was so great that measures of this kind
inaugurated by him would be certain to be re-
jected.
AZ aooul tne same time, General dOWel
Cobb and his brother General Tom Cobb
went to General Lee without any knowledge
of what had been done ON the other side), and
made substantially the same proposition
General Lee agreed with them, and said that
he would not hesitate to send the flag to Nc
Clellan, but for feeling sure that Mr. Davis
would not approve oft. We give this story
just as it has been received from the intelli-
gent and trustworthy officer referred to above
1t was certeinly strange coincidence, and an
interesting subject of speculation would be
the result of such a conference if it had been
held, and terms of peace agreed upon.

A Man With Three Arms.

The Williamsport (Pa.) Gazette and Bulle-
tin is responsible for the following:
Among the passengers on the train bound
South last evening was man born and rails
ed in the county of Oswego, N. Y. His name
is William Jacobs. He prides himself on
three well-developed arms and hands, the
member extraordinary having grown above
the right shoulder blade. 1t hangs suspended
down the back, and can be raised and lower
ed at will. In length it is shorter than the
arm proper, but possesses extraordinary mus
Gle, which he displays whenever occasion de-
mands it. No person passing through rail-
road car or meeting him upon the street
would observe any deformity, but after be-
coming cognizant of this singular case would
perceive peculiar fit of his coat. He states
that he has often been questioned as to why
he does not place himself on exhibition. His
invariable reply is that he is averse to public
exhibitions. His father being wealthy far
mers he had always preferred to remain at
home.
On one occasion. when about eighteen, the
village boys thought they would have little
sport at 'three arms" expense and COM
menced system of blackguardism, followed
by bold attacks upon his person. Eorbear-
ance ceased to be virtue, and throwing off
his loose garments he went at them in true
pugilistic style, arm No. 3 performing its duty
nobly, and apparently Outrivaling Nos. and

Once there was very good little girl who, by rea-
son OF her goodness knew where to find strawberries
in the winter. In the way less perfect people,
blessed by the generous fairies of memory and magi
nation, may sit, as do now, in the midst of falling
leaves and whistling winds, and call back the green
grasses and summer sun. l see yonder in the glen,
the darling of house, the gold CLEAN in her brown
hair chain Of daisies in her hand and in her eyes the
roughish meditation of kitten, weary for an instant
only of its play and thinking slyy of another spring.
Thrown back upon the velvet grass she is not resting
only pausing from her bright glances to the TIPS of
her tiny fingers she is wide awake.
But now the merry play is over and our pet nestles
FOUNDER on the sofa-cushion, tired at last in earnest
Slowly the lids tall and the lingering smile dies out;
but the flush in cheek and lip remains like the glow
after sunset. The gathered buttercups and daisies
are loosely held by the fair little hand; no shadows
even OF dream land disturb the sweet brows perfect
peace She is fast asleep.
In other words, two chromos hang upon the wall
bewiching child-heads, in which every mother sees
something of her own dear ones never grown old and
never lost to her, however time or death NAV have
dealt with them.

For this reason happy picture of child brings an

But these pictures besides their constant charm for

SPONTANEOUS CoMBUsTIoN.-An expert
menting Detroit chemist took a piece of
threadbare cotton cloth, smeared it with boil
ed linseed oil, and placed it in the centre of
chest filled with paper and rags. Although
the room was not tight and the weather was
cold, there was smell of fire about the room
in eight days. Unpacking it the experiment.
er found the rag half charred. In April he
made similar experiment with a pair of
painters overalls, which he rolled up with
pine shavings, and crowded in next to the
roof boards of a loft. In week the smell of
smoke alarmed a workman in the next room,
and the overalls were found to be on fire.
And during the hottest of the weather q
handful of old cotton rags, not smeared with
oil, became hot enough, when hung up in a
tin box in the sun, to light matches which he
had placed among them. These facts show
the necessity of caution in putting away rags,
especially those that may be saturated with
oil, benzine or other infammable substance.
