The Result.

The result Of the presidential election
held on Tuesday is the reelection of
Gen. U. S. GRANT by greatly increas-
ed majority over 1868. This is not only
asplendid triumph Of the national union
republican party, but most emphatic
rebuke to an unnatural and unprincipled
coalition. The administration has not
been without its faults and mistakes, but
the people of the nation do not propose
to place their government in the hands Of
disappointed aspirants and much less in
the hands and influence of those who SO
recently attempted to destroy it.
The majorities for GRANT & WILSON
in some of the States is unexpectedly
large, though foreshadowed by the Octo-
Der election. ALL HAIL THE GREAT
VICTORY FOR THE NATION!

Mrs. GREELEY.-Mrs Greeley's mai
den name was Mary G. Cheney. Mr..
Greeley first met her at the Graham
House, an institution erected in New
York by Professor Graham, the origina-
tor of the bran-bread dietectic philoso-
ply, and conducted on those very frugal
principles. Miss Cheney was at that
time a school teacher and an ardent be-
lever in the vegetable and bran-bread
system. Mr.. Greeley was investigating
the new philosophy, and thus formed
her acquaintance He pressed his suit
to success, although he had to follow the
object of his affections to North Carolina
where she went to pursue her school
teaching. Fifteenth of July, 1886, the
New Yorker, which he edited, contained
the following marriage notice:
In Emmanuel Church, Warrenton
N. c., on Tuesday morning, 9th instant
by Rev. William Norwood, Mr.. Horace
Greeley, editor of the New Yorker, t.
Miss Mary G. Cheney, of Warrenton, tol
merly of this city"
Seven children blessed the marriage
of whom two alone remain-Ida and Ga
brielle.
A correspondent of the Springfield Re
publican says of Mrs. Greeley:
She had SO long beeHan invalid, an,
in such way, that the domestic happi
ness which many men enjoy was deniet
both to him and her; but no part of hi
life has been more honorable to him thai
his domestic relations. In her you'll
and health she had both beauty an
grace, and that charm of characte
which in greater degree we call genius
But this was joined with caprice, an
seeming perversity of nature, which, i
ill-heslth and in the cares of life, unfit
ed her for some of the duties of her d.
sition as the wife of great journals
and conspicuous public man. Whateve
resulted from this state of things wa
met by Mr.. Greeley with patient a
lection for the wife of his youth, tt
mother of his children, which inspire
with respect all who knew the story
his household existence.

The Horse Disease.


Mr.. Robert Bonner has given the fol-
lowing letter to the public;
"SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct. %, 1872.
"MR. BoNNER-Dear Sir In the
spring of 1868 disease broke out among
my cavalry horses at Fort Sumner, New
Mexico, that appears to me identical
with that now raging among horses in
our cities, and in very few days became
an epidemic.
cat first it defed all treatment, and
the great majority of horses attacked
by it died. On examining the Threats Of
the dead horses, I found the lining men,
brane of the larnyx highly inlamed
and thickened, and thick mucous pus
filling it, causing suffocation. l order
ed all horses ON the first appearance OF
the disease, to be thoroughly rubbed be-
tween the lower jaws and along the
larynx down the neck with spirits of tur-
pentine, causing very severe external
irritation and blister.
g" saved every horse thus treated,
and in very few days entirely broke the
distemper and check the epidemic.
II do not doubt that thousands Of
horses, where this epidemic prevails, can
be saved by adopting this treatment. II
acts more quickly as counter-irritan1
than any other remedy l know, and re
lieves the fever of the membrane of thu
larynx in very few hours. Besides
spirits of turpentine is always at hand
and can be more readily applied thai
any other counter-irritant. 1t should b.
thoroughly rubbed in through the hal
to the skin, for distance of some twelv
or fifteen inches under the jaws an
down the neck of the horse, immediate
ly over the larynx. The remedy is 81
we're, and makes the skin sore for sever
al weeks, and for an hour causes gres
suffering to the horse But it ac
promptly and effectively, and in m
Judgment it will be found the best, an
perhaps the only cure for this fatal ma
ady. Very truly yours,
B. S. ROBERTS.

DEATH AMONG THE HORSES. Under
this heading the New York Times has
the following sensible and judicious re-
marks:
"The disease is not in itself of fatal
nature. 1t is simply catarrh or infu-
enza, accompanied with more or less fe-
yer. To effect cure in most cases it is
only necessary to order absolute rest,
give warm mucilaginous drinks and battle
the feet and legs with warm water, at
the same time covering the body with
blankets. A horse suffering from this
complaint is not likel y to eat much food
but such as is offered him should be tho
roughly cooked and ought to be pure
meal. In connection with this treatment
there should be used substances to purify
the atmosphere and neutralize malarious
elements. The best articles to accomplish
this end are sulphurous acid and carbol-
ic acid-the former is the cheapest and
most readily accessible, and is produced
from common copperas scattered upon
the stable floors, emitting sulphurous
acid, and acting as an efectual disinfec-
tant. As preventive these chemicals
are also of much value, not only at the
present time of danger, but at all times
| for there are few stables wherein gases
deleterious to health are not generated
by the want of proper cleansing"
The above is worthy to be posted up
in every stable.

THE COMING Ox.-The n. Y. Times
says that when, in the first days of the
horse disease. it was proposed that oxen
should be brought into the city to supply
the place of the dead and dying horses,
no one, probably, imagined that the pro-
posal would be seriously adopted. New
er'heless, SO great has been the Interrupt
ton of business in Consequence of the
dearth of horses, that oxen have already
made their appearance, chiefly in con
nection with market wagons, while it Ii
understood that large numbers of dray
men have sent into the country in search
of teams of oxen wherewith to resum,
their interrupted occupation. 1t is thu
possible that, should the horse diseas,
prevail for any length of time, the o,
would become as familiar feature 0
our streets as the horse has been; and i
is by no means certain that he would no
win as high place in our respect an,
affection.

was shot in cold blood in the door of
Johnson's pool room, corner of 2Sth

er of the present murderer, was shot in
political ARRAY at Donohue's saloon.
Before his death he made an ante-mor-

deed. The latter was tried on charge OF
murder, but the testimony conclusively
