EE AS the horse dIseas

EE AS the horse disease may
come this far South we present a
preventive which we take from an
exchange:
"Sprinkle yonr stable frequently
and plenfifulIy with carbOlic acid
and with gum camphor dissolved IN
alcohol. Use chloride of lime very
freely. Put double the usual guam
tity of bedding under your horses.
There is no danger of rubbing their
limbs and lOins too much. Every
drop of water that they drink should
be pure and fresh. They cannot
have too much air, provided they
are not exposed to Il drought. Let
your horse rest if you can.

ICol. Susan B. Anthony and
eight other ambitious females sue
ceeded in getting themselves regis
tered as voters in Buffalo under the
prOvisionso of the Fourteenth amend
ment, and, although we have no
record of it, we take it for granted
that they voted, and that they voted
for Grant on the 9Th. 1t is not to be
supposed that the Colonel will be
satisfied with the mere recognition
of her right of suffrage. AS she
claims the right as a citizen under
an amendment especially intended
for the darkies, it would not be in
appropriate for her to come into
competition with LangstOn, the
cOlOred applicant for the position
of Attorney General. "The color
ed troops fought nobly," but so also
did the Amazonian Guard.

AN instrument has been invented

AN instrument has been invented
that marks the sebb of time"
showing how many minutes there
are remaining prior to any event.
If placed in the post-office it reads,
sc Mail open in thirty minutes )" one
minute later it reads, sin twenty
nine minutes" then in twenty eight
and so on. At a railway station it
reads, "This train leaves in ten
minutes" then in nine, eight, etc,
and when the index reaches 0 the
trail starts. Thus any passenger
on entering a station knows just
how much time he has for getting
tickets, checks, a newspaper, and a
seat without consulting a watch or
a clock to ascertain the hour of the
day.

THE SCANDAL.


Mrs. Woodruff and her sister,
Tennie @. Claflin, continue in the
LudIOw-street Jail. The first-class
cells for pay prisoners are all Occu-
pied, and the two notorious women
are together in scantily furnished
cell ON the second floor. No one
has come forward to bail them ex-
cept George Francis Train, whose
offer was refused by the prisoners.
They look upon themselves as pre-.
destined martyrs, Mrs. Woodruff in
particular, claiming that she had
known from the first that she must
suffer for her cOnscience's sake.
The Herald says of their nefarious
newspaper operations: "1t is al
lodged that they combined system
of black mail more odiOus than any
known to history. 1t is stated to
have been their custom to threaten
respected citizens, men and women,
with the publication Of charges

VThe Greeley-gushing papers
of this State are INDUCING in ZACH
rymal jeremiads over the result of
the Presidential election, and ex-
hibiting evidences of Zone grand

racy for what they are pleased to
term its recreancy" to the SOUsn
in not supporting the Liberal s''e-
ment to a greater extent. we oa"'
not see the justice os1hese CON-
plants. The Soutbfrn dreeiey pa
pers should repeHber that q very
/ large and respsctable portion of the
Democrass, South as well as North
but espscially North, took no stock
in ,ss Liberal movement. They adj
located strict adherence to prin-
ciple, and insisted upon Simon
pure Democrat as the candidates.
true representative of those princi-
pies. When the Democratic party
was disbanded at Baltim ore by its
leaders, thing that no mau can
deny was dOne-and, instead of
taking one of their own true and
tried men as a candidate for Presi-
dent, they went into the camp of
the enemy for q standard-bearer,
no member of the party was under
the slightest obligation to follow
him, no member of the party owed
the slightest allegiance to that cause,
or could be accused of dcserti0N for
refusing to follow a flag borne by
one whom he had always regarded
as an enemy.
That these complaints against the
Northern Democracy are unjust and
unfounded, we have only to look at
the vote given to Seymour and
Blair in 1868. Then we had a sound
Democratic platform and genuine
Democratic standard bearers, and
the Democracy North, as we'll as
South, came up manfully, in solid
phalanx, to their support, and it is
confidently believed to this day
that, had it not been for some rather
bold and rnsh utterancos of Frank

An IMMENSE UNDERTAKING.

The Scientific american. in calling
attention to the statement Of an Italian
Journal that the recent visit OF the Rus
sian Car TO the southern part Of his
empire had particular reference to the
projected junction OF the Caspian sea
with the Black sea, says:
"Tlie entire length of the canal
would be $50 Russian versts, about 400
miles, though the mountain chain
which has to b. pierced only measures
eight versts, or about five miles. 1t Is
calculated that 8 1000 laborers will
have to be employed for fully ak years
In order to complete the undertaking.
Quite apart from the direct CONNER
cal advantages which would result
from the completion of the canal, 1t
would serve to replenish the Caspian
sell with water, n highly important
consideration. During tho last decade,
aud even longer, u remarkable reduc-
tioa of water was noticed. so much so
that the final extinction, that Il, excic-

hundred thousand pounds Of caviar

ATTEMPTED MURDER,
fFrom the M.s,svllle Appeal, June la.l

From the MafyeVluo Appear, Juno laI
We learn from Walt. Chambers, the
driver on the Colusa stage, that q hor-
iible crime was committed In Ante
lope Valley, twenty-one miles west Of
COlusa, on Saturday last. Mr.. Lewis
Doty, q we'll known sheep raiser OF the
Valley, was on that day attacked and
probably fatally wounded by robbers.
He was engaged In herding his sheep,
and had turned them out OF the corral
In the morning, and driven them a
short distance away, when two men
catue up and demanded his money.
He told them lie had none, when one
Of them knocked him down with a rock
and cut his throat. The villains then
searched his pockets and lett him for
dead. In this situation he remained
until Monday, when some one passing
by discovered him. His wounds are
supposed to DO fatal. The physician
who was sent out to attend hin had
not returned. consequently our Inform
ant did not learn the extent and nature
OF the wounds, farther than that the
water given him BY those who found
him ran out at the wound. He was
unable to speak, but indicated by signs
the manner In which the attack wal
made. We did not learn whether the
parties to this crime were strangers,
but presume they were. The people
Of that section are terribly excited over
the matter, and II the villains should
be taken summary justice might be
meted out to them.
