winter Care Of Horses.

The following which we find in the Conn
try Gtnten,an, may interest some of the
horse dealers and stock growers of Montana:
Considerable is written nowadays about
false economy in various ways. My obser-
vation leads to the conclusion that one inn
pOrtant item is almost entirely overlooked,
and thousands of dollars are lost each year
by the careless wintering of farm horses.
For instance. farmer A. owns fine span OF
horses he is not much of horseman, but
in the summer he works them, and keeps q
man who takes good care of them. In the
fall after work is over, the horses are put
into the stable and fed all the hay they will
eat, (be the same good or bad, are left per-
haps week or two at time, with little or
no exercise and when they are driven, are
let 60 at the top of their speed. Fast driving
with their stomachs full of undigested hay,
is the very worst of treatment. The result is
that in year or two, the horses have the
heaves badly, and are spoiled for market,
and are unable to do the usual amount of
service on the farm or road and this alone
causes loss each year so long as the team is
used
This could in some degree be avoided by
building a shed with yard for exercise, and
by feeding food of sufficient strength to keep
the muscles in full strength. Some say that
wintering horses in the field on hay alone,
will cause falling away Of muscles and
strength difficult to regain. No doubt, being
chilled by standing in cold barn is very in
furious to horses.

An extraordinary incident recently took
place in Munich. On the will of rich Cath
olic lady, who recently died, occurred the fol-
lowing: "This, my last will and testament,
is not to be opened except in the presence of
the Chief Judge, the head of the Catholic
faith, and the head of the Jewish congrega-
ton" These gentlemen, on opening the will,
learned that her property had been assigned
to the Jews, her words running as follows: !:
During the whole course of my life have
given nv best attention to investigate the va
rious creeds, and have seen that the Jewish
religion is the purest of all; among all ma
tionalites / have never noticed any possess
ing such good and upright feelings as the
Jews. I therefore bequeath 60, 600 thalers to
the heads of the Jewish congregation, to be
distributed to such of their charities as they
please" The will terminates with the words
ANY person who may presume to dissbey
my injunctions, and depart from the exact
terms of my will, that part more especially
connected with the good of the Jews, may
the curses inscribed in the Book OF their
Law rest upon them"

| uAWAsHlNGToN, November 1.-THE Depart
ment OF State, up to noon to-day, had no Of
nclal information concerning the steamer
VlrginiLs, further than the mere fact of her
capture. The Navy Department has no of
ficial news on the subject. There being no
Government vessels in the neighborhood of
the place OF the capture, the registers granted
to vessels continue until they are sold or
change their names. No intelligence relat-
ing to either Of these points, as to the Vir-
ginius, has reached the Department. The
books of the Treasury Department show that
the register Originally: granted to the Virgin
ius remains unchanged.
News was received to-day of the execu-
ton OF prominent persons captured on board
the Virginius, which occasions much sur
prise in all circles, it not being supposed that
the trial would be so summary. The subject
was discussed at the Cabinet Council.
Official dispatches received by the
Department of State show that the Virginius
was captured six miles from the coast of ia
maica, at the instance of Minister Sickles.
Instructions were sent from the government at
Madrid to await orders from the home Gov
ernment before inflicting penalties on
the passengers or crew of the Virginius.
This order was probably received on the
evening of the fifth or the morning of the
sixth, too late, as it appears from dispatches
received from Cuba to-day, to be respected

PERSONA
"Reminiscences.
From the Cairo Gazette, October 23I
We never met General Grant but once. anG
then the passes between us were unpleasant
He was commander of the forces established
at Cairo, and we were the publisher of ''cop
perhead newspaper" and the correspondent
of the Chicago Times Desiring to s'head -
contemporary correspondents, and, possibly,
to anticipate events little, we prepared q
dispatch for the Times, which read about as
follow: "FOur thousand rebel troops have
congregated at Mayfield, Kentucky. A de-
serter with whom we recently conversed in
formed us that an immediate attack on Cairo
is contemplated. At least 1900 of the troops
are armed with dung forks and dog-wood
bludgeons. The whole force will wade the
Ohio at Grand Chain, seize the battery at
Mound City, and lombard Cairo in the rear. -
Dispatches had to pass under military sur
veillance, and We asked Gen. Grants in
dorsement. He looked us intcntly in the eye,
and asked:
Young man, where did you obtain that
infora1ation?"
Our reply was that we obtained it from
what We conceived to be reliable source-in
fact from rebel deserter His rejoinder was
emphatic, not to say sharp:
I'm tired OF reading the stuff which you
correspondents propose to deluge the newspa-
pers with. Your dose makes me sick. Never
let me see your face at headquarters again
unless you specially desire to gather your
army information within the confines of the
guard house."
When, two years afterwards, Col. Logan
suggested Grants name in connection with
the Presidency, we fought the suggestion
with the desperation of deeply wronged
and indignant individual.
