How English Grooms
Care for Horses.

A correspondent of the New
York CummercisI Advertiser tells
how some English grooms at Sar-
atoga are teaching Yankees the
care of hGrses:
To-day | asked one of these
grooms, who had spent twenty
years in the stables of royalty,
what he had to say about cur a.
merican way OF taking care oil a
horse.
"Why, SIR" said he, lyon don;
take good care of your horses /; you
think you do, but you don't"
why" | asked.
because when a horse comes in
all wet with perspiralion, you let
him stand in the stable and dry
with all the dirt on. In England
we take the horse as he comes in
from drive, and sprinkle blood
warm water all over him. rubbing
his legs and face dry. Thus, in
an hour he is clean and dry, and
ready to take a good feed, while,
with your way, he will stand and
swrlter for hours, and finally dry,
sticky and dirty. Our horses
never founder, and never take cold
We never use a curry-comb You
scratch your horses too hard -
The only care necessary is to have
the water not toe cold then battle
them quick, and blanket them in
stant!y, while you are rubbing
their legs"

Walking Horses.

One of the most desirable and
valuable gaits of horse is y
walk ; aud it should be the aim
10 first develop the gait in the
handling of the colt. The good
walker will always make good
time on the road when a DAYS
journey is to be made, without
wearying himself, when the slow
moper must constantly be kept in
trot if time is to be made. A
horse that will make five miles
per hour will go as far in a day,
confined in this gait, as an ordiua-
ry horse can be driven when kept
halt the time to trot, and with
much greater ease to himself. If
one-half the pains were taken by
farmers boys to make fast wal
kers OF the youngsters on the farm
that is usually taken to make
them trot, the result would be
much more beneficial, and we
would find plenty of teams that
could do their five miles an hour
with ease. But, instead of this,
as soon as the colt is bridled, the
sole aim of "th9 boy" is to make a
trotter of him, and both gaits are
spoiled.
Make the colts walk, boys; make
them extend themselves in long,
sweeping, square walk, and don't
be satisfied with anything less
than five miles an hour. When
he gets to trotting he will go all
the faster for this preliminary
training to the walking gait; and,
if he can trot fast enough to beat
D.Xter or Goldsmith Maid or Oc-
cident, he will have a gait that is
invaluable for business purposes.
We hope to see more attention
paid to fast walking than hereto
fore, and we respectfully urge up
on agricultural societies the impor-
lance of offeri! G liberal prizes for
walking horses at the fairs for the
coming year.-StOck Journal.

Hollow HORN.-At a recen

Hollow HoRN.-At recent
discussion at Fulton Farmers
Club, Pa, the question was pro-
pounded, elias any one a re-
ceipt for curing hollow horn in
cattle without boring the horn?"
a Mr.. King replied that the all
ment of cows usually termed
hollow horn, could be cured by
tying a bag filled with soft soap
and bran around the head,
but he did not believe that the
horns of cattle ever became hol-
low. j. r. Blackburn said: Rub
the top of the head and along
the back with soft soap and bran.
Mr.. Reynolds said: Fill a long,
slender bag with salt, soap and
bran, and wrap it round the
head and horns. Mr.. Brown
expressed the belief that if cat
tie were fed saltpeter occasion
" they would not be troubled
with hollow horn.

Speed inOxen.

tits a matter Of great surprise
that so little attention is paid to
the quality of speed in oxen. :
Our agricultural fairs have very
generally been turned into mere
horse races in the rage for fast
roadsters. Speed in horsefesh
is to a large extent the mania
of the day. Good draught hor-
ses; sound, steady workers of
fine form and power of endu-
rance, have had to stand aside
and let the trotters occupy pub
lie attention.
But We have scarcely ever
seen the Importance of cuItiva-
ting quickness of movement in
working oxen alluded to. And
yet there are farmers who will
follow a yoke Of oxen around a
field, blowing, or drawing loads
at a snalI's pace, now and then
applying the CAD with shout
''go-long," but making scarcely
half a dozen rounds OF a ten a.
ere lot in a day. Oxen are pro-
verbally slow, but they are ca
pable Of improvement in this
respect as well as other animals,
and more attention ought to be
paid to cultivating in them a
quick step. In Oriental coun-
tries, especially in India, they
are used extensively for the road,
in place Of horses, and they may
often be seen trotting off at a
spanking gait. We DO not
need fast trotting oxen, but a
fast walk is ofgreat Importance.
Double their speed would doub-
lie their value as working cattle.
Why may not our agricultu-
raj societies offer prizes for the
fastest walking oxen as well as
for the fastest horses ? 1t
would take some years TO rear a
race of good walkers, but it is
worth an effort, and worthy Of
encouragement from our agri-
cultural societies. One of the
strongest objections to the use
| of oxen on the farm is that they
are so slow. This objection
can be and ought to be removed.

of that wise policy which President
Grant proclaimed in his veto of the
great Imitation bill, Is one of the
principal obstacles against which Mr..
Tilden has to contend The democratic
party is suspected of planning the issue of
more irredeemable paper money, and these
Western victories are thought to have in part
been won upon the basis of imitation Mr..
Tilden finds this shadow thrown across
his fears. He has but one way to dis
pei it. and that Is to boldly utter
those words of fidelity to the financial
principles of his State, the true prin-
ciples of the whole country, which his fellow
citizens have right to demand and which
Governor Dix in his letter to General Grant
emphatically sustained. But no shadow
comes to him from the Southwark. Tales of
revolution, Ku Klux, another rebellion, have

MIR. Morrissoy Speaks.

The Hon. John Morrissey gives us In
another column his views of the canvass and
especially of Mr. Creamer, tho leader of the
anti-Tammany party. Mr.. Morrissey with q
true statesman's instinct seeks the HERALD.
He has seen the discussion between Mr.. Rev.
erdy johnson, MIR. OConor, Mr.. Curtis and
Mr.. Black on the Louisiana question in the
HERALD, and he follows their learned example.
Mr.. Morrissey thus shows fine conservative
sense. A discussion with Mr.. Creamer in the
columns of the HERALD will be more interest
ing than his proposed discussion with that
gentleman under the columns of the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. There will certainly not be
the same danger from the police-a class Of
public servants who have not always looked
kindly upon the discussions, open air debates
and public controversies of the great Tam
many leader.
Mr.. Morrissey comes to time with accus-
toned promptitude and goes for Mr.. Creamer
with zeal. Evidently the bosom friend means
war; He does not intend that Jimmy Hayes
shall be destroyed without some interference.
This is frank on Mr.. Morrissey' part, although
if his proclamation means anything it is that
he does not feel assured of the election Of his
bosom friend. If he thus fails it will be his
own fault. Mr.. Hayes is . rich man who does
not need the Office, rich man who never
spends his money and who has no claim upon
any party. The anti-Tammany men nominate
General Jones, an Irishman, q soldier, the
friend Of Horace Greeley and q poor
man, who once held the Office for the
benefit of the family of Miles O'Reilly. Of
course all the Irishmen propose to shout
and vote for him. Morrissey might save the
canvass by Withdrawing Hayes and nominat-
ing some worthy democrat who had claim
to the Office. But he is not man who
readily throws up the sponge, and we suppose
he will stand by his man until he wins his
fight or is knocked out of time

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.

Owing to the great pressure on our adver-
hsing columns, advertisers would favor us by
sending in their advertisements early in the
day. This course will secure proper classif-
cation, helping the public and the HERALD.
Advertisements intended for our Sunday issue
may be sent with great advantage in the earlier
days of the week it will prevent confusion
and mistakes arising from the immense
quantity of work to be done on
Saturdays. Advertisements will be re-
ceived daily at this Office, the branch Office,
No. 1895 Broadway, between Thirty first and
Thirty-second streets, and the Brooklyn
branch office, corner of Fulton and Boerum
streets, up to nine p NJ, and ct the Harlem
branch Office, 124th street and Third avenue,
up to half-past seven p NJ Let advertisers
remember that the earlier their advertisements
are in the HERALD Office the better for them
selves and for us.

Our SOUTHERN NEWS is interesting to-day,

fair election in South Carolina. He has issued
his proclamation making changes in the
Boards of Election Commissioners, 80 that each

independent republican and one conservative.
This, it is thought will secure an honest

The Capture of Mana sahis.

The report that Mana Sahib is alive and has
been captured will recall one of the most hor-
riole crimes of our time, the most inhuman
which occurred in British India since the
Black Hole of Calcutta was the scene of dread
full torture. This Indian was at one time
high in the confidence of some of the British
officers in India, and abused his position for
the advantage of the rebels in 1867. On the
26th of June of that year he captured Gavin
pore, and, by deceivlng Sir Hugh Wheeler
obtained possession of all the British in that
town. The story of the massacre that fol-
lowed, in which neither men, women nor
children were spared, and the cruelties he in
ficted upon his prisoners, though it is seven
teen years since the bloody deed
was done, are still remembered with hor-
ror. The entire civilized world was
sickened and shocked, and in Great Britain
the popular Indignation amounted to an abso-
lutte fury. Mana Sahib was the acknowledged
author of that massacre and extraordinary
efforts we're made for his capture. His army
was defeated by Sir Henry Havelock in 1857,
but he escaped If he still lives-and the
British government has received from India
confirmation Of his capture-the report of his
death in 1853 may have been spread by him
self in order to obtain greater degree of
safety. But that for sixteen years this man,
on whom nation has wreaked its uttermost
hatred, should have been able to avoid dis
covery is wonderful. He will not escape
again, and his fate is certain The English
press demands the immediate trial and execu-
ton Of Mana Sahib, and even his ignominious
death will hardly satisfy the English people
mitted. There is joy in England that the
