AHorse Doctors Experience.

Mir. Blumanthal, q veterinary surgeon, in forms us that in his opinion most of the published methods of treatment for the horse disease are not adapted to the case Others think they know at least as much about the disease as he does, and point to IS much success by their methods, as he has achieved. Who shall decide when horse doctors disagree? But Blumenthal is per haps entitled to a hearing. He thinks that the horse, if improperly treated, though they may not die now, will, many of them come out of this sickness practically ruined either with the glanders, or broken-wind ed. He says he has treated the disease ir Germany, and he does not approve ot strong remedies like gin, pepper, and pill: of aloes. His phYsic, when he gives it, il

Major Generaa George Gordon


 Major General George Gordon Meade died at his home in Philadelphia, of pneu- monia, on the night of the 9th inst. In person he was tall, commanding, and sol dierlike; his private character was beyond reproach; his public life was alike honora- ble and successful. By the men whom he commanded he was highly regarded, not withstanding hls strictness as disciplinari- an and by his fellow citezens he was great ly esteemed, both for his qualities of head and heart.
 General Meade was born on December 3l, 185l,in Cadiz, Spain, where his father was United States Consul. While he was yet young his parents returned to this country, and he received his early education, at Washington, from MT. Chase, the father of the present Chief Justice Salmon P. Chase. He then studied at the Mount Airy Military Academy, and in September 1881 he entered the National Academy at West Point, and graduated in 1885. As 8 lieutenant of the Third Artillery he joined the army, and having served in the Seminole war, he re- signed. in October, 1886, and for the next six years devoted himself to civil engineer ing. In 1s42 he re entered the army as second lieutenant in the corps of Topo- graphical Engineers. At the breaking out of the war with Mexico he took the field, served with credit, and was brevetted first lieutenant, for his gallantry at the siege of Monterey in l846. In 1851 he received his commission as first lieutenant, in 1856 that of Captain, and 1862 that of major. When the civil war began he was not slow to offer his sword to the service of his country. As igadier-general of volenteers in the Pennsylvania Reserve corps he took part in several of the earlier engagements. Hay, ing recovered from painful wound re- ceived during the ''Seven days Fight" he commanded a division of Reynolds First Army corps, which he ably conducted through the Maryland campaign. On the 29th of November, 1862, he was appointed Major General of volunteers and he was assigned to the command of the Army of the Potomac in June, 1868, as General Lee was advancing up the Valley of the Shen- andoah. The ability displayed in the cele. ebrated and critical battle of Gettysburg is we'll known, and will be known in history as his crowning honor. General Meade was raised to the rank of brigadier-genera of the regular army in June 8, 1863. Gen eral Grants confidence in General Meade as commander of the Army of the Poto mac was unbounded. All his instructions were general; the details were left entirely to General Meades discretion. On July 1 1865, he was given the command, in virtue of his rank as Major General to which ht was promoted in 1864, of thu Military Di vision of the Atlantic, and this position ht held, with the exception of a short perioe of detached service in Georgia, until hi: death.
 He became a member of the Histories Society of Pennsylvania in 1863, aud he joined the National Academy of Scienc es il Philadelphia in 1865. Harvard conferred upon him the degree of IL. D. in the lat tel year.
