Danger of Raising a Fast Horse.

The Ruraz New Yorker states the fol-
lowing case, to enforce some sensible
advice to farmers, suggested, we pre-
sumo, by the 'sdisplay of horses y
which is fast becoming the most attrac-
tive feature of our agricultural shows:
"a well-to-do farmer of our aequaint-
ance had the misfortune to rear really
fine horse. The action of the animal
gave him great delight, and nothing
would do but an exhibition of him
among the professionals. He put up
his money and won. This gave higher
flight to his ambition, and induced a
bolder operation. Success rewarded his
ventures. He neglected his farm, i'm

of which one-third or one-half is lost by
fermentation, teaching, or evaporation.

This is the season for creup-a dis
ease that requires immediate relief, and
one that often proves fatal where miles
have to be travelled for physician, as
in the country The following very
simple recipe is recommended by the
Philadelphia Star, and in localities
where physicians are not near at hand
it would be well to bear it in mind:
Take the white Of an egg, stir it thor
oughly into small quantity Of sweet
ened water, and give it in repeated doses
until cure is effected. If one egg is
not sufficient, a second, or even a third
one should be used.

Decline Of New York.

The New York Tribune is much exer-
cised over the decline of the commerce
of that port and its diversion to Boston,
as well as the slow increase in the value
of real estate as compared with the lat
ter city. 1t says:
:" In the many causes of reform, for
which the Tribune has assiduously la
bored, great trouble has been expert
enced in thoroughly arousing the people
not directly interested, to realization
of. the true condition of affairs. 1t is
not sufficient to tell them that the com
merce of the city is undergoing pro-
cess of gradual but sure destruction );
that the population has not increased at
the ratio that might have been justly
expected and that the value of real es-
tate is deprecated by every eecline in
such ratio. Every one can assign some
special reason which clearly proves to
his mind that the land on which his
dwelling stands, and the trade by which
he lives, are not affected in the least by
the general commercial decline. To
this same pernicious indifference is to
be ascribed the general neglect of pub
lie duty on the part of the people
which enabled the Ring to obtain abso-
lutte control OF the affairs of the city.
The Tribune has, in previous articles,
established the fact OF the most start
ling decrease Of the trade and COM
merce of New York, yet few, compare
lively, realize that they have any indi-
vidual interest in the matter. There
can be no public injury without private
wrong. Injury to the public good can
only be brought about by abuses inhict-
ed on number Of individuals. The at
+4ention of the merchants and trad IS
men has been heretofore more partIcu-
larly asked, but on this occasion it will
be demonstrated to the real estate own
ers that they are just as intimately in
terested in the growth of trade and
population as are the former classes.
The period Of the city's greatest
prosperity was the fifteen years which
preceded 1860. During that time the
tunnage of the port, and the transporta-
ton on the canals and railroads leading
into the city-together with the entire
population-more than doubled. Since
1860, however, there has been great
check both 10 the growth of trade and
in the increase of population, and the
value Of real estate has suffered in a
corresponding ratio. It is only within
the last few years that the owners of
this property began to realize that there
was decrease in the ratio of growth
in population. Since that time, how
ever, this loss has had d marked effect,
as will appear. from the comparative in
crease on real estate in New York and
Boston. This comparison illustrates
also the effect Of the decline in New
York's commerce and its diversion te

Cuban Insurgents to be Exterminated

Valmaseda, the Captain. General of

insurgents ca1not last forever. He now
gives notice that every insurgent cap
tured after the 18th OF January will be
shot, and those sarrendering after that
date will be sentenced to perpetual im-
prisonment. The negro men are to be
treated the same as the whites. All
negro women captured will de delivered
to their owners, and will be compelled
to wear chain for four years, and all
white women captured in the woods
after the 18th of January will be ban
ished from the country. The chiefs of
insurgent bands will be allowed to sur
render until the 18th of January under

"Thus it appears that although the

that of New Y ork, the increase pays all
the city taxes with surplus of $l2,-
100000, while the increase of New York
leaves a surplus Of only So, 100000.
This ought TO convince the real es-
tate owners OF this city that they cannot
neglect their public duties without suf-
fering loss nor can they longer remain
Indifferent 20 the loss of trade and the
diversion of population without sustain

of Sudden loss to property-owners is i'm

If the large amount of property liable to
be thrown on the market, under such
circumstances, should reduce prices

of property free from debt is not be

as the forced sale OF adjoining property
establishes the market value of that not

Ii As a radical cure for these evils, the
Tribune recommends that the wharves,
warehouses and railroad depots of the
city, together with the various means of
transportation, be brought so near to-
/ gether as 10 dispense with the cost OF
carting goods long distances through
| crowded streets, and to save the goods
from exposure to injury and loss from
theft and bad weather. and thas bust
/ ness generally should be centralized SO
as to cheaper and facilitate its transac-
ton.
The article closes as follows Pop.
ulatien must be cdeoentralized, and the
limits Of the city extended to include
the hover part of Westchester, so as to
afford cheaper homes, surrounded with
pure air and sslnobstructed sunlight.
j Adequate means for rapid and cheap
i transit, must be provided between
homes and places of business to accom-
modate both the way and through
travel to the old and settled channels
The means of transit must also be eaay
of access. These requisites are indis
pensable if the lost population and past
prosperity of the city are to be re
gained"

The gold market responded promptly TO the ind-
cations OF resumption OF specie shipments OF
more or less magnitude the remainder OF the sum-
mer season, especially as the advance in govern
ment bonds has precluded their alternative availa
bility. Indeed, the rise in London previously re-
ferred TO was the result OF effort to
bring bonds from that market, and the sudden rise
there Is taken to mean that national securities are
held in Europe much more generally as investments
by strong parties than we have usually regarded
them, their character in this regard being quite
benehcially modified the past few days by the
abatement OF the dispute with reference to indirect
damages. The rise in gold was II per cent-viz,
from llS1a to ll37s-and might have been more had
not the specious argument been used that the gold
now shipping so pentifully was coming out OF the
government vaults, and not from the people. The
