The CONGRESSIONAL BACK PAY.--Se-
nator Robertson and Representative Wal.
lace, OF this State, put different con-
struction on the refusal of certain mem
bers of Congress to receive the increased
back pay voted at tho last session. They
say that as mileage, stationery and some
other expenses are to be deducted, that
the members from Oregon, Colorado,
Nevada, etc., would likely be in debt to
the Government-one OF them about
$1,000; whilo another would only be en-.
titled to S114, after the deductions are
made; and that very few OF the members
would receive the full amount. AZ She
Act, however, embraced increased pay
for the President and other high offloials,
who have heretofore been too poorly
paid, it was voted for. The voters msy
draw their own conclusions.

New HoNsE D1sEAsE.-A new horse
disease has made its appearance at Buff
falo, N. Y. Veterinary surgeons pro-
nounce it n result of the epizootic last
fall. 1t attacks animals hoofs and
causes the flesh to burst, leaving large
holes. In extreme cases the animal
loses its hoofs entirely, and has to be
killed. A number of the street rail-
road and express company's horses
are suffering from the new malady.

MISPLACED CoNFIDENcE.--A victim of
the contractors on the Canadian rail-
road in British Columbia, called upon
us few days ago, and detailed his
grievances, which he requested us to
make public that others may not be
deceived by the specious promises of
those heartless operators. In response
to an advertisement for laborefs, set
ting forth that ample wages would be
paid, this individual with number of
others, proceeded to Burrard's Inlet
and applied for work. What was their
surprise on being told that SIS per
month was the liberal compensation
that would be paid for the hard work ex-
pected of them! Some of these de.
luded victims were at the mercy of the
company, having spent their money on
the passage up, and were compelled to
accept the terms, but all who could re-
turn to Victoria, did so, and sought
more remunerative labor. If this state
ment is true, and we have no reason to
doubt it, future efforts to obtain labor
ers on this side the Straits will prove
futile. "+ '..

AN ERRONEOUS IDEA.

1t is an error Of judgment for any
body to suppose that the publishers of
Of newspapers are more interested in
inducing immigration than anybody
else In nine cases out Of ten thew
have less interest in the local prosperity
their efforts are calculated to promote,
than almost any other memher Of it.
Printing Offices are movable property;
and can be transferred to different
field of Operations if starved out in
the one where they have cast their lot.
This train of thought is suggested by
the request made few days ago, in DO
half of a gentleman drawing one Of the
latest of salaries, for q donation of
half dozen copies of each of our town
newspapers to send abroad. Tom, Dick
and Harry have friends too; they would
like to send papers to them, and from
their meagre days wages can and do
afford to pay for many copies, not sup
posing for an instant that it would be
proper to beg newspaper any more
than spool of thread, paper of need
les, drink of whisky or any other
commodity held at an equal value. 1t
is generally the high-toned' gentry
who practice what is vulgarly known
as " cumming" anil being men of COM
nonsense, We must attribute it more to
thoughtfulness than any other cause.
1t is the duty of the press to preach
sermon sometimes, when occasion re-
quires and o reform is demanded, as in
this case, and we do not shirk the duty,
because it may be an unpalatable dose
we are compelled to prescribe. The
patients health is paramount object,
and must be preserved even though his
most sensitive feelings are wounded.
Let it be borne in mind, that the news
paper man is not an emigrant agent,
with sincure salary; that every copy
Of this paper has specific value to
him, and generally more labor and
money has been bestowed upon it than
he asks in return; that if his journal
is worth asking for at all, or the cost OF
postage as missionary abroad, it is
worth the price asked for it.
Equality is our text; exact justice
the doctrine We desire to inculcate.
Wealth or station are, in themselves,
entitled to no special privileges, and
the hardy sons of toll ask none fol
which they are not ready and willing to
return an equivalent. 't.'...;. .

The catarrh will be relieved by local
application of infusion of golden seal
(hydratus) in which few drops of car
bolic acid, dissolved in teaspoonful of
spirits of wine or whisky, have been
mixed. This remedy should be injected
into the nostrils with a syringe hav-
ing long beak. In this way it will
not only bathe the nasal membrane,
Int will rench the throat. Some of it
! will be swallowed, which will serve q
good purpose in cleansing the stomach.
In this mixture the quinine may be dis
| solved and be poured from a bottle
down the horse s throat, serving there
by, at the same time, the purpose of
throatwash. A wine-glass full of the
infusion of golden seal will suffice for
each, nostril. II the fever is high the
shoes should be taken off, and warm
poultices of fax-seed meal be applied
to the feet and fetlocks.f '.r p. ."
