The horse is more like man, as regards
general structure and the pathology Of his
diseases, than any other animal.
AS rule, though not without some ex-
ceptions, the causes of disease in man ope-
rate similarly upon the horse, and the same
remedies are equally eficacious for both.
Disease is either general or local in its
character; local when only some particular
organ or part is affected; general when the
whole system is involved.
Nearly all disorders of both man and
beast, whatever may have been the primary
or external causes. proceed from obstruc-
tion an0 arrangement of the circulation and
secretive functions. Therefore, to keep in
health, prevent these Instructions; to re-
store to health, remove them. &G
Although disease does not originate in
the blood, this is the medium by which it is
transmitted throughout the general system.
tenn is to assist in propelling the blood
through the veins and arteries. Hence, any
arrangement of the nerves affects the cir
culation, and Utce uersd. i l19E @4t e.
The size of the horse is ten times that of
a man. His organism is coarser, and the
vessels of his system are larger in proper
ton. When medicines are administered,
they must be of corresponding strength.
Compared with man, the horse breathes
only half as fast Thesame is true in re-
spect to the rate at which his pulse beats

GARDENING IN THE EVENING OF LIFE

GARDENING IN THE EVENING OF LIFE
I would recommend to every man, espe-
cially in the autumn Of his life. to take to
gardening, if he has not already expert
enced its pleasures. Of all occupations in
the world it is the one which best combines
repose and activity. 1t is not idleness; it
is not stagnation; and yet it is perfect quiet
ude. Like all things mortal it has its fail
ures and its disappointments, and there are
some things hard to understand. But it is
never without its rewards, and perhaps if
there were nothing but successful cultiva-
tion, the aggregate enjoyment would be less.
1t is better for the occasional shadows that
come over. the scene. The discipline too is
most salutary. It tries our patience and it
tries our faith. But even in the worst OF
seasons, there is far more to reward and en-
courage than to disheartcn and disappoint.
There is no day of the year without some
thing to afford tranquil pleasure to the cul-
tivator of flowers, something on which the
mind may rest-rest with profit and de
light. -Cornhsll lAagaziae.

The New York strikes show that twenty
out of forty Thousand mechanics of that
city were, by their own volition, thrown out
Of employment. Their wages, the wages
of twenty thousand men, for four months,
would amount to not less than one million
I five hundred thousand dollars. This amount
could been earned by the strikers had
they been at work, but, on the contrary,
they cared for not less than half Of this
amount from the twenty thousand men left
at work Theloss might therefore be esti-
mated, as applying directly against the in
terest of the strikers, to amount to two
million, two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars per month. If there is any econo-
my, profit or advantages in a result Of this
sort, it is. difficult to find it.--Amssrican

OLIVE CULTURE IN CALIFORNIA.

Olive-culture, it is anticipated, will prove
Santa Barbara and elsewhere on the south
ern coast of California. The labor required
in its cultivation, compared to that demand
ed by ordinary field and garden farming, is
trifing. The tree, at five years Of age, re-
turns slight recompence Of care; and at
seven an orchard should afford an average
yield of about twenty gallons of berries to a
tree. If there are seventy trees to an acre,
there should be obtained from it one thous-
and four hundred gallons of berries. From
twenty gallons of berries may be extracted
three gallons of oil; and, if properly man.
ufactured, olive oil will command 81 to S.
gallon, at wholesale. Thus, an average
yield of olives, derived from an orchard
covering one acre of land, will produce
about $500 worth of oil. After deducting
the entire cost of p' oduction and manufac-
ture, net profit may be anticipated of at
least So per gallon; and thus, one acre,
containing seventy trees, Weddings an av-
erage of twenty gallons of berries, or the
equivalent Of three gallons of oil, each,
will afford surplus above all expenses of
about $4OO year.
Olive-culture is so simple, that ary one of
ordinary intelligence may engage in it.
Its results are such, that any one may find
| it profitable. AS business, it offers the
advantage that it may be carried on at the
home and that man Of culture may en-
gage in it, and yet find intervals for the
pursuit of other objects and more varied
themes / speak here merely with refer
ence to olive culture. The process of man
| ufacturing the oil is an entirely different
business and belongs separate and apart from
the cultivation of the olive. In time, it
will not be expected, as now, that each
grower shall be manufacturer also. As
soon as the supply of olives in neighbor
hood is sufficient to warrant the erection o.
suitable machinery for expressing the oil
every requisite for the purpose will be at hand
The olive-grower's labors for the season will
end with the deposit of his berries at the
Oil mandatory; and, according to the Gus
tom of the olive districts of Europe. one
half the oil from his berries will subsequent
ly be returned to him, ready for use and fol

A CORNER IN WIvEs.-s'Corners" are
not confined to Wall street, New York. or
to State street Boston. Neither are they
made wholly by dealers in stocks and bonds.
The Yulus of South Africa do not need a
missionary to teach them to be shrcwd.
Though strong and robust people they
have decided weakness for womankind.
They have as many wives as they have
means to purchase, and, unlike many un-
civilized countries, they buy not with gold,
or houses, or estates, but with cows.
TW enty, thirty, fifty or a hundred cows are
given for wife, according as the girl is
young and beautiful, or otherwise. One
bold Zulu operator with large capital once
bought up all the young and desirable girls
in the market of the whole region and COM
PEELED all who wanted to buy to pay him
most exorbitant prices for wives. OF course
there was much distress and the disastrous
state of things attracted the attention of
their Government, and the recurrence of it
was prevented by law, which fixes the legal
price of a wife to be only ten cows. No
man can collect more than this by law.
He may receive fifty, if he will, but he can
force no one to pay more than ten.

St. Augustine, Florida, is the quaintest as
we'll as the Oldest town in America. 1t has
its old-time city and gateway, after the man
ner Of the cities of the Middle Ages. Its
streets are very narrow, many of them being
only ten feet in width, while the widest are
not twice that. AS if to make them appear
still narrower, the second stories Of nearly all
the houses project over the thoroughfares;
leaving little narrow chinks between for the
entrance of the sunlight. The appear ance of
the place is quiet and sleepy, its atmosphere
and surroundings are those Of long past age,
and the tourist remembers it only as an un-
real dream. Its business amounts to nothing.
Its prideis in the past. Its houses seem to be
slowly going to decay, and altogether day
or week spent in St. Augustine leaves the
traveller the feeling that he has been in an
other and older world than this.
