Examine the front feet; and if the
frog has fallen, or settled down between
the heels of the shoes, and the heels are
contracted, reject him; as he, if not
already lame, is liable to become SO at

Next observe the knees and ankles of
the horse you desire to purchase, and, if

WHISKY AND THE WEED.-fntelligent
PSYCHOLOGISTS and pathologists admit that
all socalled medicines containing alco-
hol-whether they emanate from the
regular pharmac6ptsia and are called
tinctures, or from the Empirical Rum
Mills, and are labeled "Tonics"-are
essentially dangerous and destructive.
The only way in which drunkenness can
be arrested is by restoring the integrity
of the nerves especially the nerves OF
taste and the great sympathetic ,nervel,
and purifying the animal fluids; and
these objects are more certainly and
swiftly accomplished by the use OF DIR
WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs than by any
other means. Hence, probably, the opin-
ions now so generally expressed, that

On Monday the House took appropriate
notice of the death of Mr.. Melish. MIR.
George +. Hoar spoke for New England. He
said that he had been asked by the delegation
from Massachusetts, to deliver brief eulogy,
for the special reason that Mr.. Mellish's home
was in his District, and that Mr.. Mellish's
kindred and his family were neighbors and
constituents. Mr.. Mellish was born in Ok
ford, Mass, of French Hugenot descent. Mr..
Hoar paid brief tribute to the many noble
qualities of the deceased, and thought that he
could discern in the short period of Mr. Mel
Ish's Congressional career very notable traces
of his early New England training. Mr. Hoar
thought the honesty, simplicity and kindness
of heart and contentmenti in honorable poverty
which characterized Mr.. MelliSh were quail
ties which many of his colleagues might be
proud to emulate. Mr.. Cox, who frequently
had held animated discussions with Mr.. Nell
ish In his life time, was much affected at his
death, and in few touching, heartfelt words
spoke OF Mellish's tireless industry and pnre
life. Mr.. Cox said that the hopeful thing to
him in this most painful death was that he
would be permitted to cast May rose upon
his colleagues bier.

A controversy has arisen touching the cor
struction of the Civil Rights bill passed by
the Senate, and especially on that provision
relating to mixed schools. 1t has been gem
orally supposed that the bill passed by The
Senate made the commngling of blacks and
whites in public schools compulsory. On
this view the bill meets with great opposition,
and would have great difficulty in obtaining
favorable consideration in the House. 1t is
held by some of the Senators who voted for
the bill that this provision is not compulsory
in its terms, and they do not thiak the courts
will so construe it so far as to compel the
blacks and whites to the same schools but it
was intended to provide that all moneys
raised by taxation should be so expended as
to give both absolutely equal advantages,
and to leave to each locality the absolute con-
troll OF the question ofwhether separate schools
should be maintained or not.

can be hopeful and patient. Some wives

RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMEN IN
MASSACHUSETTS,.

The legislature of Massachusetts has not
seen fit to grant all that the advocates of
woman suffrage ask, but it has taken a
step in advance in regard to the rights of
married women that is highly important,
and for which the agtators of the ques-
ton of women's rights may take credit to
themselves. Had not the injustice and in
equality of the laws as between the sexes
been exposed in the struggle of women for
the ballot, there would probably have been
no such law as the recent one placed on
the statute book of Massachusetts. The
public conscience has been pricked on
some points at least. The public mind
has been enlightened in regard to some
matters upon which it was blind. The re
cent act defines the legal rights of wives
in the management of property and bust
ness. The following are some of its feat
ures as we find them stated in one of
our exchanges:
Heretofore, an estate, decided to wife,
was her own, and could not be taken for
her husbands debts; if it was home, the
wife not being able to sell without the as
sent of her husband, the home was secure
SO long as either party choose to have it
so. The wife was allowed to hold real
estate for her sole and separate use while
living; after her death the husband had an
interest in it, So that married women
were somewhat restricted in their power
to make contracts with other parties. The
husband could not be wholly ignored.
But. by the law just enacted, married
woman may make business contracts with
anybody except her own husband. She
may engage in all sorts of business; be-
come co-partner; speculate in stocks
sell, pledge, hypothecate or mortgage all
her real estate, provided always that none
OF this business is done with her husband
with him all such transactions are illegal
and void. Whatever may be the result of
her business transactions with others, her
husband must support her. and the same
enactment that makes her. in business.
free from her husbands infiuence, gives
her new means Of enforcing provision
for her own support. She is not obliged,

and however feeble and needy her hus-
band may be, TO do anything toward sup

hold. and he must pay them. And if she
engages in business, and there is a failure
to place on record in the clerks office of
the city or town where she resides, dec
laration thai she trausacts business on her
own account, she may make her husband
liable for the debts she may incur in such
business. Her husband and children may
