sends us the following cure for bolts in
horses:
Bolts in horses may be known by the ami
mails occasionally nipping at their sides, and
also by red pimplcs rising on the inner sur

seen by turning the lip up. The cure is ct:

MANS INHUMANITY.
An Ola Ssrrs wS%aa sent ou'

An ora SsErs woman sent ou' 90
Probably the very worst feature in
human nature is inhumAnity. II is a
feeling not acquired il must exist from
the very beginning in the human heart
or II can never be developed. Our re-
porter heard OF case yesterday that
stamps criminality Of the deepest dye on
some unknown person, and TO our vigi-
liant police authorities We present the
facts for consideration and investiga-
ton. Yesterday Coroner Caldwell was
called upon to hold an inquest over the
remains Of an old negro woman found In
Cane creek bottom, about four miles
from the city. The investigation
developed the following facts; Last
Thursday afternoon about FIVE o'clock
negro mounted on horse and
having an old negro woman behind him
was seen to ride up near the gate of the
Insane Asylum and pull up for mo-
ment. He was seen to shove the old
woman of OF the horse and then ride OF
at gallop. About SIX o'clock Mrs.
Myers, who resides in the vicinity, saw
an old negro woman in her front yard
intent on digging with stick. Going
out she asked her what she was doing.
lam digging for gold" said the poor
old creature as she worked away with
her stick. In reply to other questions
she added. There is gold here; this
property is mine; l have lots OF prop
erty and want nothing from you.
She was left undisturbed, and in
few minutes she left the premises,
and proceeded through the planta-
ton as if going to some negro cab
ms that were in sight Mrs. Myers
believing that she was going homeward'
paid no more attention to her move
ments. Yesterday morning some hunt
ers in Cane creek bottom found the body
of the unfortunate woman. She was
able to move her arm few times, and
then gasped her last breath. Instead OF
going to the negro cabins, she bad wan
dered into the bottom and died OF want
and exposure. When discovered she
had on but single garment, an old cot
ton dress. She was at least seventy
years of age, and was demented. Her
history is unknown; she was buried as
pauper a nameless, unknown wanderer
on earth, who had passed away to a
brighter and better world. The investi-
CATION pursued by the coroner did not
develop anything that could give clue
to the detection of the negro who had
abandoned the poor woman in so heart
less and criminal manner. Our police
authorities should take the matter in
hand, and dig up the hidden facts for the
purpose of bringing the murderer OF this
insane woman to justice.

Nrw YoRK, February 22.-The eele'
bration of washington's birthday Is being
generally observed. with the accompani-
ments Of parade and social festivities.
OF the public celebrations, the first in
order comes the chimes Of Trinity church
bells, the programme comprising varied
selection Of melodies, patriotic and pop.
ular, fourteen in all. the FIRST being rung
At 70 o olock. Meanwhile. two process
sions will have been forming in Park
Place and Washington Square The
largest Of these is the order Of the United
American Mechanics, some thousand
strong, representing the Councils Of New
York and suburban cities. The Ameri-
can Protestant Association also paradeo
through Washington Square at noon.
The social occasion most characteristic
and appropriate is the reception of the
veterans of 1912 by the Sixth Regiment,
in its armory. These ancients are ear.
lier than all in their work of the day,
hosting their flag at sunrise in Central
Park. Many receptions and dancing
soirees are more or less appropriately
set down for the evening throughout the
programme.
The rain and mud of yesterday has
been succeeded by cold, clear weather,
and this morning everything out Of doors
is covered with ice. The thermometer
marks twelve degrees above zero.
Yesterday the hackers of Harry
Hecker, of Philadelphia, and Bryan

Mr.. w1LL1AMsoN,s REVENUE BILL.

This is the forty-second day the Legs
lature has been in session, exclusive OF
Sundays. No important bills have
passed as yet; these will get through
toward the close of the session. Next
Monday is set for the discussion of the
revenue bill in the Senate. This will
doubtless occupy several days. There
is a great diversity of opinion upon the
subject, and various bills have been in
troduced. The only one we have seen
entire was offered by Mr.. Williamson, OF
the House. 1t contains many excellent
provisions, but is Objectionable in other
points. These we are not inclined to
discuss ad seriatim, as the bill is very
voluminous, containing no less than one
hundred and two sections. As whole,
no such bill can become law, for If
embraces several distinct subjects,
as the abolishing and establishing Of
offices, each of which, under the Con-
stitution, would have to be contained
in separate bill. But the general sub
jsct will be fully eliminated at Nashville
and we hope that out Of multitude Of
cousel wise laws will be devised. Many
changes could be made to advantage,
especially with regard to making assess
msnts. We would object to Mr.. Will
liamson's bill because it provides for an
assessor in each district and one in each
ward Of cities having more than 10000
population. This would give US twenty
seven assessors in Shelby county, when
the same work could be done with eel
Gritty and uniformity by three or five,
and the responsibility would not be
divided out among so many. Other OBJ
jections of more or less force have been
raised to some features of the law. But
taken as an omnibus bill, from first to
last, it is probably as good bill as could
be framed by any one man. Some other
sections we may allude to next week.
