An exchange informs US that Mr..
Greeley has written a letter to the effect
that it would be folly to attempt the
distillation of liquor from cotton on an
extensive scale. We can not, he says,
complete with pauper labor, and the
cotton gin, though pleasant drink,
can not be manufactured as cheaply as
London Dock or Old Tom.

ABOUT HORSES. Horses, as general
thing, get too much licking and too
little feed. If man loses his hat
while driving his horse, he iiclls the
horse to pay for it. If his horse slips or
stumbles he gets licked for it-il he
does anything he gets licked ior it, if
he don't do anything he gets the same.
A great many horses know "a sight"
more than their drivers, and if they
could change places with them, society
at large would be gamers, and SO would
the horSes.

No little interest is created in busi-
ness circles over a recent discovery, the
effect which will be to revolutionize
the telegraph business. The new sys-
TEN will soon be put on trial between
New York and Washington. Tele-
graph machines will be distributed to
individuals, who by a little practice,
will acquire the ability to stamp their
messages on slip of presorated paper
IN the telegraphic cipher. This when
taken to the general Office, will be for
warded to its destination, and then by
another machine printed before deliv-
cry to the person for whom it is intend
Ell. The whole time of the writing,
transmission and printing of the mes
sage of 100 words would be in all but
one minute and twenty-seven seconds
and messages of that length are to be
forwarded for twenty-five cents. The
capacity of a telegraph wire under the
present system is said to be about 6OOO
words in ten hours, but by the new pro-
cess it is claimed $1,000 words in an
hour can be transmitted on one wire
without confusion. One printing ma
chine can transcribe messages at the
rate of 5000 words an hour.-AlI the
working expenses of the new system
are represented to be much less than
the old ones. The cost of a machine
for indicting messages will be but two
or three dollars, SO that any merchant,
banker, or newspaper Office can have
one for its own business, and one oper-
ator can do as much business with one
wire as hundred wires now do. The
public will rejoice with reason if the
practicability ofsuch an improvement
of communication shall be established.
In that event the mail will soon con-
sist of little besides newspapers and
Congressional documents.

There is one feature about this Car
michael corresp6Sd dence of Mr., Greeley
which illustrates his exceedingly unre.
liable judgment, TO put the miIdest
possible construction upon it. We find
him promising to favor and support the
policy of paying the same pension to
the rebel as we now pay to the Union
soldiers. Mr.. Greeley would have them
rewarded for their treason, paid fol
their crime; not pardoned, but thanked
by the nation which they tried to des
troy. Mr.. Greeley's underlying vice
one that is common to all weakly be
nevolent people, who are easily be.
guiled into helping tramps, swindlers
and beggars, is his lack of a judicial de
testation of crime. He does not see
why villain should be punished. The
man who could favor the plan of pay
ing scores of millions to the country:
enemies is not the man to be trusted tC
prevent anotherrebellion, nor to close
the door of the National Treasury
against wasteful extravagance.--gH,

Here is new way of treating the
broken legs of horses, which ought to
be generally known. After the leg is
set, cover it thickly with plaster. When
the plaster hardens it will keep the
limb as immOvable as if made of iron.
Thus treated, a broken leg, it is asserted
will knit together in brief time and
become as good as ever.

AN AWFUL EXPERIENCE.
A woman in a Turkish Bath.


M. III. B., the sprightly lady CORES
pondent of theMissouri Republican, mas
been taking a Turkish bath III New
York, and don't like it. Here's what
she says of it:
We were divested of every stitch of
our clothing, our rings and bracelets
locked up, our back hair taken on, our
own special possession of seventy-fve
or hundred hairs made into a little
hirsute pill impaled with a hair pin
That was the the only token of civil
ization we boasted. The procession
formed. At the door we were handed
a miniature sheet and a little bit OF "A
sponge wet with cold water. We went
through passage to room, where we
dropped our sheets and entered vdpor
that clothed US decently. l wonder the
HLssrtyated Police Gazette or the Days
Doings haven't nit on this business for
illustration. Well, in this steam l
thought should suffocate. 1t poured
up and in and down through holes till
it was dreadful. The use of the wet
sponge here ascertained was to put on
the top of your head to prevent coup
de steam,o or some such dire complaint.
They wouldn't let me out, and the
temperature got worse and worse, and
/ began to think of my mother and an
obituary notice in the RepWbticar, when
WE WERE PRONoUCED COOKED
enough, and let out into room in
which was mighty tank of cold water,
through which you must wade or swim
as you could. Caesars ghostl 1 flew
through it. My anatomy and physi-
ogomy were heated to boiling point
This water seemed like ice. Itsent the
blood rushing to my hollow head (I'm
convinced have no brains, and my
heart came ker-fop up and went ker-
chunk down. / made up mind this
was the worst of il and tried to resign.
/ had been scraped and scrubbed in the
vapor-room till was scarifed. stood
on the brink and watched my compan-
ions splashing through the internal
tank. One of them, to expedite her
own release, caught at my ankle; away
went my soapy feet from under me, and
in went for second time. How very
near an end was the happy connection
between M. H. B. and the st. Louis
Republican.
At the next stage of this truly awful
experience we received the tshower."
/ had now become convinced that /
should never see home or friends again.
In calm despair / walked under a
solid column of water that nearly broke
my back, and just here 1 got mad.-
That fat attendant hasn't yet recovered
sufficiently to make a complaint and
when the thin woman went before
Judge D0wling, that gentleman said
it was a conspiracy, that no one wo-
man OF my size, unaided, could do such
damage. He told the woman to go
home and say nothing about il, for
she'd evidently been dreadfully drunk,
and undertaken to walk through car
pet-cleaning machine. And that's the
first and last Russian bath take.
