How to Pit Collars 10 Horses Shout
dprA

Ho W to Fit Collars TO Horses Shout
ders.
1t is very important to have a collar
fit nicely and snugly to the shoulders o.
the horse 1t enables him to work with
a great deal more ease, and to apply a
great deal more strength. II prevents
CALLING and wounding, as the friction If
avoided. Collars are 30 made, or should
be so made, as to throw the chief force
on the lower part Of the shoulder. The
horse can apply but little strength on
the upper part, and for this reason
breast collars are coming greatly into
vogue, as the strength is exerted on
the lower part OF the shoulder.
But we sta rted ont to tell our readers
how to make a new collar fit the
shoulder OF the horse. The collar
should be purchased OF the proper size /;
Just before putting it on the first time
immerse it in water, letting 1t remain
about minute, and mediately put it
on the horse, being careful to have the
names so adjusted at the top and bot
tom as to fit the shoulder, and then puff
the horse to work The collar by being
wet will adapt itself to the shoulder,
and should dry on the horse.
When taken off it should be left in
the same shape it occupied on the horse,
and ever after you will have a snug
fitting collar and no wounds. - VALLEY

A LATE Hawaiian paper contains an
advertisement Of deserted wife, with
respect 10 her runaway husband, which
is both interesting and amusing, as ex'
hibitiug peculiar phases Of the Hawai-

pretixed with the suggestive cat Of a
colored Individual making tracks with
a stick and bundle on his shoulder, aud
reads: know all men, that |. the

gard to Wahineaes, my husband, for

ST. PAUL has a custom house ling

six years the custom house has been
in course OF building. About $4,000

that the last appropriation OF 100000

have exhausted that amount, and it is
now estimated that $l50,O00 more will

functions Of ths Convention was copied
from the set passed by the General As
sembly Of Virginia in 1850 providing
for the formation Of the Constitution OF
1851, when, it will be remembered, not
only the Constitution but also a
Schedule providing for the election
Of officers was proposed by the
Convention and ratified by the
people Of Virginia. A majority OF the
votes cast was iu favor OF the Conyen-
ton; the requisite proclamation was
made; delegates were elected; and the
Convention assembled and framed a
Constitution and Schedule. 1t was
provided that both should he submitted
to the people of the State for ratifica-
ton or rejection and that, if ratified,
they should take effect from the day I
their ratification. 1t was also provided
that on the same day an election should
be held for the various officers provided
for in the proposed Constitution, who
in the event of the ratification of the
the Constitution aud Schedule, should
enter upon the duties OF their respective
offices at future times specified i'll the
Schedule. The Constitution and
Schedule containing these provisions
we're ratified by the people and officers
were elected in accordance Herewith.
Neither the Convention nor the people
attempted to give to any act or ordi-
nance any retrospective operation or
effect. They simply adopted the Con-
stitution and Schedule and by this act
ordained that the officers whom the
people might at the time of ratification
elect should at future specified times
enter upon the discharge OF their respec-
tive duties.
It may thus be seen that the late
Convention had in the Virginia Couven
ton of 1S50-'5l a precedent for the
submission OF a Schedule for ratlti-
cation and for providing in that
Schedule for the election oil officers.
IT, however, a Convention called
to prepare Constitution had
no authority to do this, and the pro.
visions of the Schedule, notwithstand-
ing their ratification by the people, are
without validity or effect, what shall be
said OF the Convention Of 1868 which,
alter the completion Of the duties with
which it was specially charged, ordered
an election to be held, without submit-
ting the ordinance TO popular vote? II
the Convention OF 1872 exceeded its
legitimate authority, much more did that
OF 1868, and, according to the Radical
argument, there has been no legal au-
thority for any act of the State Govern
ment of West Virginia from the time OF
its organization until now.

TIE MorHBR-Here is touching lit
tie story told by Hearth aud Home:
In Rock Island, illinois, there was, a few
years ago, and perhaps she Is there yet,
q woman who had been put, in for
insanity. II is the inhuman Gu, i Of
people in some parts OF tho country to
conhne lunatics in iails. At the time We
saw her she had been there for years, and
we could not find TINT anybody knew to
whom she belonged or at whose instance
she had been confined. This old woman
did not have q cell in the women's
department, but in the mems. She was
called "the Mother" and wore round
her neck q clumsy wooden cross that had
been Whitfield by some prisoner, Her
whole time was employed in caring for
the prisoners; she patched their clothes
and darned their socks and nursed them
in sickness. The hardened criminals
venerated her, and il any man had dared
molest "the Mother" no would have
found plenty ready to defend her. Her
cell door stood open, and she walked
out among the men who were congre-
gated in the corridor, looking on them
all as her sons. Here was IN intellect
clouded and a moral nature unimpaired.
Tho blessed old Sister OF Charity had all
the sweet motherly love in her heart,
and she was very angel OF mercy to
these outcasts.

Encounter with Bandits.


La PGtriG, OF Florence, gives q long
and interesting account Of m encounter
between IN American traveller and two
robbers in IN infamous resort known rs
the Lone d'0rO, whittier the American
was lured by an accidental acquaintance
formed in arailroad coach WITHDRAWING
from Ancona to Foggia. The American,
whose name is Stuyvesant, found the
LtOnedOTO to be peopled by rough-look'
ing persons who impressed him with
grave suspicious. After retiring he was
aroused by noise at the folding doors
which separated his sleeping from hil
sitting apartment, Mr.. Stuyyesant arose
adjusted his pautaloons and inspected
his revolver and and q pair Of brass
knuckles. Nearly M hour elapsed with
out further noise, when the sound oil
footsteps, in the adjoining apartment
attracted his attention. Pretending ia
sleep sounlly, Mr.. Stuyyesant heard the
folding doors gradually drawn apart,
and then the whispering Of mems voices
beside his bed. One said, "don't fear,
he is asleep" 2llereupon the gas was
lighted. Two robbers Of huge build and
fierce expression met Mr.. Stuyvesantf
gaze, They examined Ills valise, aud,
having searched his coat pockets, were
about to take q package OF papers with
them, when the heroic foreigner bound
cd from his bed aud demanded m OK
PLANTATION. A dagger WINS instantly aimed
ut him /; but the American disposed oil
his assailant by q shot which penetrated
the latter's shoulder blade. The other
robber brandished his stiletto furiouBly
and aimed q terrible blow at the stran-
gers heart, which hc pared with his
right arm, receiving n simple flesh
wound. ALLOW from the brass knuckles
aud another brought the villain to the
floor. After IL number OF roughs had
gathered around Mr.. Stuyyesants door,
tho latter insisted on no one entering
except tho master OF tho hotel. The
American, having locked his door, pre-
sented his pistols ut the landlord, order.
ing him to keep quiet while he unlocked

No place for Boys.

There is no place in the Union where
q working man Is worth so much, and no
place where boy is worth SO little as in
California. The report read ut the meet
ing OF the Protection and Relief Society
Thursday evening, touches the subject
at vital point. In seeking for employ
ment for boys, the Secretary says
wherever We turn labor leagues and
trade unions are against u.s." Either
the boys now growing ~ here will run
largely to hoodlums, or they must have
employment or be banished from the
country. We know Of q number oil
promising boys who have been sent east
to remain, because there were no ave
nues opened hero to honorable employ
ment. We are clamoring for immigrants
all the time when every California boy
well trained would be worth rs man,
as much ms four average immigrants.
Not long ago the pulpit to some extent
in this city, took up the subject oil
"hoodlums, u but missed the most vita
point, Boys need sometimes attractive
places Of resort. But forced idleness il
today the source OF the greater part oil
juvenile vagrnncy and crime. What
hopeis there for n boy Drumming oeGl
with nctivity who can find no honorable
work to do? There never was o more
blind and brutal crusade waged against
boys than that inspired by some OF the
labor leagues and unions OF the country.
II You want hoodlums and Migrants, limit
the admission Of boys to one or two here
and there, among muster mechanics and
manufacturing establishment, and set
the rest adrift.
II these boys arc to be saved, this cru.
sade against them must be stopped. The
incorrigible hoodlums may bring up IN
the penitentiary. But tho hostility
which makes boys drift in that direction
is thing not only to be be deplored,
but to be abolished II possible. There
is not n single mechanical or other in.
dustrial employment in California where
my other limit should be prescribed for
the employment Of boys than the ability
Of the employer to find work for them.
Any other is cruel, cowardly and crimi.
nal. We cannot kill of the present gen.
Grafton Of boys, mako hoodlums OF them
nor Danish them from the country.
There is no place in the world where
they ought to be worth rs much rs hero.
The employer who turns boy away
with the excuse that lie is limited to the
employment OF two or three, and cannot
employ any more by the rule Of some
league or organization, Inns enlisted in
n war against the boys Of this State.
There IS not M employer who cannot
say: ~ nm master Of the situation.
will give MS many boys places in my es.
tablishment MS l can make room for, in
dependent Of NIL dictation." It may
cost something to take this stand, but It
is on solid ground. There are thousand
boys in this city with nothing to do who
ought not to be drowned to get them
out OF the way, ought not to be banished
from the State, and ought not to be
turned into hoodlums.-Sah Francisco
