rNv1oLABILITY OF THE MAILs-A GOOD

The resolution introduced into the
House Of Representatives to inquire
whether any Custom House oiheers OF
detectives have been allowed to examine
CORRESPONDENCE passing through the New
York or Boston Post Office, and whether
any such officials have opened or other
wise tempered with such correspondence
for the purpose of ascertaining whether
the revenue laws have been violated or
for any other purpose, is a hrst ana
praiseworthy steptoward great and much
needed reform.
During the war thousands-perhaps mil
lions--of letters were opened and read un'
der the pretence that information impor-
tant to the Government might thus be OBJ
tanned. 1t all amounted TO little OF moth

Since the war the custom OF opening
and riHiug private letters has been KEEP
up. The thefts by employees in the ofhc'
are numerous, aud the hazard of any valu

Some few months ago a resi-
dent of Western city, named
Brocf, was taken i'll with some
sort Of afever, and fortwo weeks
there was little hope of saving
his life. He continued to sink
in spite Of all the physicians
could do, and they finally gave
him up. All through this sick
ness the man continually asked
for pickles and cider, and when
he get so low that his death was
considered only a question of a
few hours, Mrs. Broef decided
to CRAFTY bis wishes. A glass
of sweet cider was given him, a
spoonful at a time, and he declar-
sd that he felt much better for it.
More was given through the
nightinplace ofmedicine, and the
next morning the doctor declar-
ed that s most favorable change
had taken place. Some strong
pickles were procured and Civ
en- to him, and he began to call
forgruel ana broth. lobe brief,
he was soon able to move about
the house, and everybody in the
neighborhood, as we'll as the
physician, gives the cider and
pickles the credit of performing
his cure.

Balky Horses.


baking horses: Some writers have
held that the cause of baking is
bad treatment. | think that this
view is partially false. Some
horses will balk any way, and
some cannot be made to balk.
When horse once commences to
balk the treatment will make but
little difference; to illustrate: had
a fine, large, FIVE year old mare,
that took a notion to balk. | did
nothing for her, and foally she
got so she would balk almost ev.
cry time hitched her up. One
of my neighbors had n four old
of good deal the same style of
my horse, that commenced TO balk
some time before mine did.
Both of these had an indentation
in their ioreheade. Notice this,
every horse that has an indenta-
ton on its forehead will balk. He
may baIk sooner, or be may balk
later, but he will balk some time.
But to return to the sub ect
My neighbor and | pursued two
different ways Of treatment; he
believed in whipping, and he did
whip. lie whipped with whips,
he licked with sticks, he pounded
with fence rails, and used his bro
gans with telling effect. At first
be made her go, but finally the
harder he whipped the more she
did not 60, until at last be give it
up and sold her for ninety dollars,

drive my horse and | had a time
Of it. she getting worse all the
time, and how it would have
turned out, can easily be seen.
But one day, while we were
stackidg our oats, an Old man,
who was working there. saw her
bllk, and said to me, "l'll show
You what will start her" Accor-
dinghy he took a cane with a
crook on it, that had he with him,
and stepping up TO her, struck the
hook down into her ear. The
horse started with a jump, and we
had no more baking that day. |
have tried the plan since then and
have always been successful.
Don't be afraid Of hurting the
horse; it will only make him mad,
and that is what you want. Tue
philosophy of the thing IS this.
Take amy horse, and especially a
balky horse, and Tou will find an
aversion 10 having tie ears han

in fact, it makes it SO mad that it

everything else, and starts right

never ute the whip You injure
the horse, disconlGt yourself and

Dig Around the Fruit
Trees,

The Hearth and Home fur
nishes the following good advice
to fruitgrowers and farmers gen.
orally, and the advice needs to
be repeated Gaily until its les
sons shall have been thoroughly
engrafted into the conduct Of all
who have fruit trees. 1t says:
every farmer knows that a
hill Of corn or potatoes will not
amount to much unless cultiva-
ted, and yet there are many who
will neglect to give the same
care to a tree, which is worth a
hundred hills of the former. In
rich soil, trees may grow rapid
ly without cultivation, and no
amount Of grass or weeds will
retard them; but there are other
things besides growth tobe look
ed after, 1.-THE weeds and grass
are allowedtog rowiup aroundthe
stems of apple, peach or ounce
trees, the bark will become SO
soft near their base by being
shaded, and thereby be in a suit
able condition for the reception
of eggs which will eventually
become peach or apple borers.
Take any dozen young apple
trees, in sections where the ap-
pletree borer is abundant,a llow a
portion tobe choked with weeds,
and the remainder well cultiva-
ted, and then watch the result.
