ARNICA, SULPHUR, LIME AND VINEGAR FOR
THE POOR HORSES.
WASHINGTON, D. G., Oct. q, ls7

WASHINGTON, d. g., Oct. q, 1872.
Hon. ROBERT b. ROOSEVELT New York City
DEAR SIR see you have an epidemic among the
horses in New York city, and have taken the lib
erty OF addressing You few lines on the subject.
During the Fail Of 1868 was on the frontier Of
Texas and, as far as can learn, the same disease
prevailed there to some extent; but was checked
before II had done any harm. The horse was
taken with. q slight cold and running at
the nose, and in very few hours got
feyerish and finally was nearly Frustrated.
His eyes would grow dim and matter protrude
from the corners The method they took In curing
them was the following put the horse In a
close stable blanket him well from his ears to his
rump rub his throat well with tincture OF arnica
and vinegar; then give him fifteen to twenty
drops Of the tlncture OF arnca In little Jamaica
rum internally. Feed him light on bran and
ground oats mixed up with lime water and little
sulphur, no salt When you give him drink, give
it to him three times q day and color the water
with lime. Scatter plenty OF disiniectants in and
around the stable. Ihave known the above treat
ment to cure In every instance. think IL would
be well for some one to try the above remedy, and
have no doubt but what It will cure the worst

LITERARY CHIT.CHAT.

JUDGE RICHARDSON, at present the Assistant Sec.
retary OF the Treasury, has complied volume
OF practical Information on the Public Debt
and the National Banking Laws" which cam
not fail to prove valuable handbook for
all classes The first chapter is devoted to
the funded debt, not -matured, payable in coins
and 1t begins with table OF all the loans OF thid
kind. The second chapter is an abstract OF tli0
public debt, except as explained in the preceding
cnapter, and includes the Pacific Railway bonds.
The third is the "greenback" chapter. The subse.
qucnt chapters are full OF practical information,
showing, among other things, how registered
and coupon bonds are transferred. and ex1
planning the issue OF duplicates In case OF losss
the purchase, conversion and redemption OF bonds,
the payment OF interest, the coin In the Treasury
and the sales OF gold. The part OF the work de.
voted to the national banking system is nothing
more than an epitome OF the laws OF Congress,
the opinions Of the Attorney General and the de-
cisions OF the Courts. There Is valuable table.
giving a list OF all the loans contracted by the
United States from the foundation Of the govern
ment, and much practical Information on
nearly everything connected with the banks
and the public debt. The work does not
pretend to be treatise on political economy,
but it Is full OF plain answers to such plain
questions as many persons would like to ask
the Secretary OF the Treasury. The compilation Ia
printed at the Government Printing ONCE, and We
presume Is for general distribution.
THE WHOLE OF THE SECOND VOLUME OF Forster'a
sIife OF Dckeps' is now written, with the excep4
tion OF the last two pages. This volume viii only
bring the work down to the year 1852. The separa-
tion between Dickens and his wife took place In
1865 and that part OF Dickens life will therefore
be comprised in the third and concluding volume.

There is large Increase in the number OF sick
horses here to-day, and several are reported as
dying. One OF the horses in Mr.. Burlingame's

the hair on his back raised and pointed

The horse disease does not appear to be abating
much. Adams Express Company are delivering
their goods from OK teams and the horse railroad
runs only one car. The majority OF the horses on
the street are less affected. All the stables
are still badly afflicted, and the recent change In
the weather does not seem to have had as favor

THIRD AVENUE LINE.
To the very great JOY of our Harlem residents
and the many thousands who live upon this great
thoroughfare, it was ascertained that the cars
would run. The HERALD had said that there was
some doubt about 1t, and that the President,
owing to the protest OF Mr. Bergn, absolutely
thought OF stopping his cars altogether. There was
q meeting or the officers on Tuesday evening, how
ever, and IL was decided that instead OF Withdraw
ing the cars altogether, thus causing an immense
amount OF public inconvenience the plan would be
adopted of doubling up the teams. On the day be-
nine hundred horses and about one hundred cars.
Yesterday the same number oil horses were en-
ployed, but only about half the number OF cars,
fityfour In all, running on four minute or quarter
time-that Is, about one-quarter OF the usual run
ming stock OF the road. In spite, however, OF the
four-horse teams the horses seemed to suffer not
little. This was mainly attributable to the fact

arising from newspaper statement in his
district, concerning his position on the Presi-
dental question. He assaulted Horace Greeley
las proposed candidate of the Democratic
party" He stated his objection to late posi-
tons of the Tribune newspaper for an enforce
ment policy Ia the South, and referred to Mr..
Greeley's advocacy in 1860 of the right Of
States to secede from the Union. He com
nented upon Mr.. Greeley position Of aDtag-
oDism to Democratic principles and the Demo
cratic party; during which expressions he was
interrupted by two or three Democratic mem
bers, to the effect that he was speaking in the
interest of Gen. Grant. Several Democratic
members from Indiana stated that they had
been unsupported 10 the Indiana newspapers
referred to by Mr.. Voorhees,, as to their posi-
tons, but they and some other Democratic
members stated that they should be controlled
10 their action by the course Of the Baltimore
Convention.
