TEaE HORSE EPsDEMnC.
what Henry bergh says about il

TO the Editor of The Ecening Post:
The terrible epidemic at this time pres
vailing among horses here and elsewhere,
and which threatens to paralyze trade
and locopsotiop, if not arrested, has
caused the undersigned to institute in
quiries as to the most eticacious means
of treating tho afflicted animals, and the
following advice and suggestions are rec-
commended, being the results of tho ex.
perience of the eminent surgeons at,
tached to she society, along with others
equally skilltul
That the disease is influenza, in an
aggravated form, seems to be self, ev,
dent, and the remedies usually employed
ia the treatment Of the human patient
arc found to be most serviceable in the
case of the horse. Complete rest, warm
blankets, nonexposure to draughts of
air, dsinfectants, and total absence of
bleeding and prostrating cathartics, as
rule, should be observed. Twenty or
thirty drops of tincture of iron IN gill
of Jamaica rum, diluted with water, aud
given every four hours, in order to pre-
serve the strength of the horse; or, the
tncture of arnica viii produce relief.
A plaster bound around the throat, COM
posed of enc portion of Cayenne pepper
and two of flax seed, mixed with vinegar,
is excellent. Frequently remove the
fetid discharge from the nossrils, always
using warm water, Another: perfect
rest, clean stable, tempting diet, and
stimulating linimentapp to the throat
Another remedy is rest, comfortable beds
ding, baudaging the extremses, lumiga>
tions of boiling water to assist the dis
charge at the nose, with cough mixture
of liouoriceroot and molasses, Admins
lister tonics and stimulents if appetite
fails and weakness ensues.
There is n moral rs well rs material
aspect to the present subject and the
moment seems oppor,une to allude to it.
That the horse, the most generous and
indispensable servant Of mankind, is, as
a rule in our country, held IN lower es>
timate than elsewhere, and more gener,
ally INDEPENDENTLY by largo corpo>
rations--amoug their inauimate proper-
~. must be conceded With many such
il is mere question of money, and the
only point ot interest to the stockholders
being the one which indicates the diyi-
doud, the question of humanity is not an
active principle; and hence tue disabled
horse and he disabled car or stage are
placel in the same category Indeed,
the careful housing, washing, olilng and
repairing of the senseless vehicle has
often appeared to me to be in marked
contrast TO the inadequate consideration
bestowed on the weary, manned and
emaciuted creature which. with droop-
iug head and duplicating look, remains
in the pelting storm, or is domiclle IN
the damp, dark, ioul-smelling cellar be-
low the street.
This is not only Improbable, il is
something more; it is crime The
horse, ever since his domesticaton, has
been one Of the greatest elements OF hui
man progress and happiness, and it is
not exscreratinI his Importance TO say
thnt ciy,iisa ion would be impossible
without him, Pray heaven tins truth
may never be made practlcalIF evident
by the humiliation OF this precious
friend al our race.

THE death Of Mrs. Horace Greeley is
announced She was most excellent
woman, and not even the heat Of political
anmosty will withhold sympathy from
her husband IN his hour Of agony. He
has suffered grevous disappointments of
a public character of late, but in n ma
ture like Mr. Greelcy's the wounding of
pride and ambition is small thing to
the rending of heartstrings. With all
his vagaries and whims in politics Mr..
Greeley has been model husband, as
untainted in his social nature as child
His wife was companion to him in in
tellectual pursuits, being woman of
grand power, and averse to general so>
ciety. They sometimes differed, as upon
the subject of female Suffrage, but no
difference of opinion wrought any es-
arrangement of feeling. Intolerance goes
with weakness In minds truly noble
there is ample room for the play of
thought without touching upon the do.

Mrs. Greeley leaves two daughters to
mourn her loss. Three children pre- :

DISSOLUTION or DEMOCRACY !

The National Election on Tues
day resulted in a more signal and
overwhelming defeat to the Greeley
coalition than was ever visited upon
political party in America. Grant
carries every Northern State with
possibly one or two exceptions, and
many Of the Southern States. His
majority in Pennsylvania is over
100000; in New York, 10000; in
Massachusetts,, 5000; Illinois, So
600; Michigan, 10000; Ohio, 49,
600; Indiana, 10000; Wisconsin,
10000; and SO on all round the
horizon. Greeley is defeated not
only 10y the greatest electoral vote,
but also by the most overwhelming
popular vote ever given in the
Union. So mote it be. And NAV
he rest peacefully in his political

FOSSIL TREES IN VERMoNT.-A cores
pondent of the Lyndon Union, gives an in
teresting account of ancient pine trees
found in a bog in Waterford. About forty
years ago the owner, Mr.. a. b. Carpenter.
drained this swamp, which was previous
~ never dry enough for crossing. II bad
no outlet and cut was made through the
rim of the basin Of earth which enclosed
the bog. The deposit of pure vegetable
matter has been found to range from Six to
eight feet in depth, resting on hardpan.
As Mr.. Carpenter has removed the muck
from this bed, many remarkable evidences
of the great antiquity of this deposit have
been discovered.
One large log was lying on the bottom,
about six feet from the snrace, in a good
condition of pre-, ervation, except its sap,
which had rotted away. Another large
log which had fallen down in some remote
century, and pine seed which had chan
ced to fall upon II, had grown to a large
size. and in its turn had fallen TO decay, its
roots reaching down upon either side Of tho
log and holding it in long embrace. In
two instances, one huge pine stump was
found resting upon another, clearly indi-
eating that the latter tree had grown since
the first had iallen,-the seed having been
deposited on its stump.
The writer remarks ut is altogether
probable that some of these ancient trees
which lie buried In this graveyard of veg
citation, have slumbered at least three
thousand years. As we gazed upon these
decaying denizens Oft the forest, we thought
of the unwritten aud unknown history of
the ages in which they flourished."

WHO ARE TO BLAME FOR WoMAN's
EXTRAvAGANcE.-We venture to doubt
the statement, so often repeated, that
women generally, or American women in
particular, are eXtravagant. Women, il is
true, are the slaves of conVeutionaliSui,
and obey the commands of fashion even
when those commands are felt to be bur
den and a WEAKNESS. If they are thus ohe-
dent to fashion, the other sex cXacts the
obedience, and the error is therefore COM
mon TO them both. But women are by
nature economists. They give an atten-
ton to details which TO men is well nigh
impossible, and it is in such attention TO
the minute Of living that economy has its
origin. In the majority of instances
women are the correctors rather than the
promoters of extravaganza. Many a man
has found prude t wife TO be in this par
tcular the best of teachers. 1t Is true the
prosperous classes in America indulge in
luXurieS which many times "A @ inconsis-
tent with prudence, and at all times are
hurtful rs examples TO society. But this
passion for display is as often stimulated
by the ambition of men as by the oXtray-
agancc of women. In all such lavisheS,
men, as a rule, lead the way. So long as
social position is determined by expendit-
ure, aud not by culture, taste, and worth,
so long Will both American men and
women be under strong temptation to
spend with prodigality. But we protest
against the habit of attributing to the one
sex alone a fault which, wherever II exists,
is common to both. What we need is a
truer social standard. Most women feel
the hollowness of a life of display, but
obey because society obliges. We wish
that more of them would rebel and liberate
their sex. IL would be then seen that
thousands of them comply with the
worlds exactions, as to fashion, under
protest, and are living in the bondage of
fear to that indescribable Guilty sometimes
couiemtuously styled Mrs. Grundy, but
moro soberly called the world. Must it
ever be so Is there not for them some
hope of deliverance?- Methodist.
