A VETERINARY surgeon recommends a
quarter Of an ounce of prepared chalk
given in the food of a young horse each
morning as a corrective of the acidity OF

Low MANGERs.-A veterinary writer
condemns high managers for horses, claim
ing that they irritate the throat and create
d tendency to heaves. He says the manager
should be on a level with the feet, as
that is according to nature. Many men
have already adopted this idea and find it a
good one.
OvERDosING.-The late DIR. Ladd says
much of the livestock of the country has
been outrageously oyer-doctored and over
dosed, many people supposing that by con-
verting sick horse's stomach into sort
of apothecary's shop and grocery store,
the sooner would he get well, when the
very reverse is the case. Horses and cattle
require but little medicine.
DAIRY .Cows.-Dairy cows should al
ways have good, comfortable stables in the
winter, be literally supplied with the best
quality of hay, with light feed from one
to two quarts) of meal each day. With
this treatment, if fed and watered regular
ly, they viii pass the winter in good con-
dition, be fat enough for beef in the spring,
and will not have to lay on flesh for a
number of weeks before they come to a
full flow of milk.
CHAPPED HANDs.-Take common starch
and grind it with knife until reduced to
the smoothest powder, put it in clean
box, so as to have it continually at hand
for use. Then, every time that the hands
are taken from the suds or dish-water, rinse
them Thoroughly in clear water, wipe them
and while they are yet damp, rub pinch
of the starch thoroughly over them, COW
ering the whole surface. The effect is
magical. The rough, smarting skin is
cooled, soothed and healed, bringing and
insuring the greatest degree of comfort

noyance.
BoILs.-Dr. Simon, a physician OF Lor-
raine, gives new cure for boils, by treat
ing them with camphorated alcohol. As
soon as the eliminating point of boil
makes its appearance, he puts little of the
liquid in a saucer, and dipping the ends OF
his little fingers with it, rubs the infiamed
surface, especially the central part, repeat
ing the operation eight or ten times for
about half minute. He then allows the
surface to dry, placing over it slight coat
four such applications will, in almost all
cases, cause boils to dry up and disappear.
The application should be made at morn

Minnesota Gets the Mennonites.

pointed to look after the Mennonites who
cameto inspect this country in the inter-
ests of their sect in Russia, has made his
report to Gov. Austin. He SAYS the dele
gates were very much pleased with Min
nesota, and that twenty families of them
have located in the vicinity of Mountain
Lake. There are about sixty thousand of
this sect in Russia and Prussia, who desire
to enligrate, because of the repeal of the
law exempting them from military service.
The Russian Government has given them

A Very Valuable Work.

" HISTORY OF THE GRANGE MOVEMENT, OR
THE FARMERS WAR AGAINST M0NOPo-
LIEs.o Being full and authentic account
of the struggles of the American farmers
against the extortions of the Railroad Com
panies With a history of the Rise and
Progress of the Order of Patrons of Hus-
bandry. Published by the NATIONAL PUB
LISTING Co., of Chicago and St. Louis.
The most remarkable and powerful
movement of the present day is, unques-
tionably. the War which the Farmers are
waging against the MOnopolies of all
kinds that have for so long been robbing
the people and expressing the toiling por-
ton of the community.
The work begins with the causes which
have aroused the American people against
the monopolists, and treats of the railroad
system of the country, its growth, actual
condition and prospects. 1t then shows
how this noble system has been perverted
to further the ends of selfish capitalists
and railroad directors, who seek gain at
the expense of the community; and we
are given terrible and thrilling account
of the crimes and frauds of the railroad
corporations of to-day. The author Yields
a fearless and vigorous pen and points out
the evils which this selfish greed has en-
tailed upon us. He shows how the great
COTpOTdLlOIlS nave DGen dUlG 10 COllIIOl Tic
whole country; how they have robbed the
nation, and corrupted our Congress, State
Legislatures and Courts of Justice.
Passing from the Monopolists and their
outrages, the author takes up the cause of
the wronged and oppressed farmers, and
gives us a detailed statement of the evils
from which the farming class is suffering.
He analyses skillfully the causes of these
evils, and shows how and by whom the
farmers are robbed.
A considerable portion of the work is
devoted to History of the Order of Pat
rons of Husbandry. A complete account
of the organizations and objects of the
order is given its laws and mode of pro-
cedure are stated; and each feature is ex-
planned at length.
1t is decidedly the most interesting and
useful volume of the day, and as it comes
at time when the whole country is suffer-
ing intensely from the effects of the evils
it denOunceS, cannot fail to have tremen-
dous sale. 1t is an ably written work, and
a bold and vigorous plea in behalf of the
farmers and all who are oppressed and
robbed by the grasping Monopolies which
are causing so much trouble.-Erchange.

VINEGAR BrTTERs.-DR. j. WALKER, a
regular practicing physician of California,
has eonferreda priceless boon upon man
kind, by the introduction of ''Bitters''
compounded from herbs exclusively, which
may be truly said to be superseding all
others, and is becoming bitter dose in
deed for the charlatans and quacks, on ac-
count of its immense sale and universal
popularity. Not only are these VINEGAR
BTrTERs, as he calls them, an invaluable
tonic and Alternative, but they are acknowl-
edged as standard MEDICINE, and the as
tonishing rapidity with which they cure
diseases hitherto declared incurable, seems
almost incredible. After having been care
fully tested, they are kept on hand in thou
sands of households, and used for any and
every form of disease, many relying upon
them in preference to the most celebrated
physicians. They have become recog-
nized Family Remedy" and properly so.

DON'T TAMPER WITH A CoUGH.-Perhaps
in the whole category of diseases to which hui

who have paid dearly for experience, it is the

who copy DR.. Pierce's original style of adver-

they cannot cure. Those who do not possess
sufficient intelligence to write an original ad

The Currency Bill VetOed!-
No More Imitation!

Contrary to our belief at the time
our paper went to press last week,
and to the general expectation of the
country, the President, instead of ap-
proving the bill for the imitation of
the currency, returned it to the Sen
ate, where it originated, with his OBJ
jections to it's becoming law.
In his message giving his reasons
for this course, he says that the fact
cannot be concealed that the bill in
creases the paper circulation of the
country by S1OO,OOO,OOO. This ac-
ton in his belief, is departure from
the true principles of finance, and its
approval would be a departure from
every message sent to Congress by
him on the subject. He recommends
earnestly such Legislation as will Sc
cure, as speedily as practicable, areturn
to specie payment, and refers to the
pledges of the Government to make
provision at the earliest practicable
moment for the redemption of Uuited
States notes in coin. The President
recommends that the revenue of the
country be increased so as to meet
the current expenditures, as a pre-
paratory measure toward specie re-
sumption. He was disposed at first,
to give great weight to the argument
that there was an unequal distribu-
ton of the national banking curren-
cy, but he thought differently upon
considering the fact that S4,000,000
of such currency still remained in the
Treasury, subject to the demand of
sections desiring it.
The action of the President meets
with the warm approval CT the great
majority of the business men and f.
nanciers of the whole country, and
when it is fully understood we believe
it will be endorsed by the people gen
orally, of all parties. Some of the
politicians, among whom we regret
to number Senator Morton, of Indi-
ana, who have been laboring for the
imitation of the currency, are of course
disappointed, and threaten disrup-
ton of the Republican party on ac-
count of the Presidents veto; but the
"sober second though" will, we hope,
prevent any such unwise action, and
in few months we think all parties
will be glad the President had the
frmness and moral courage to do
what he believed to be right, and for
the true honor and welfare of the ma
ton, although his sense of duty com
PEELED him to go against the majority
of his friends in Congress.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette says
Statistics show that fifty per cent.
of the men in the country use intoN-
eating drinks, while of the women
only two and a half per cent. use
them. The men only having the bal
lot, there is constant battle between
rum and temperance. Temperance
will not achieve victory until we have
more and better votes. How can we
have this result in the quickest and
best possible way9 Surely not by
trying to make temperance men-we
have tried that long time-but by
allowing women to use their God-giv-
en- rights. We estimate that there
are one thousand voters in this town,
and one thousand women who should
be allowed to vote. Temperance wo-
men will vote the temperance ticket
Here then is the result: Temper
ance-500 votes by men, 975 by wo-
men; 1,475 total temperance votes.
Rum-50O by men, 25 by women;
525 total rum votes. Majority for
temperance $50 votes, almost equal
to the total number of votes at pres
ent.

The Dunn and Sayler Liquor
Case.

OAScs
The Cincinnati Commercial, in no
ticing our account of this case, pub
lished in last weeks News, says:
If this was CLEARLY shown" it does
not appear that Dunn sold the whis-
key to JACKSON for himself, but as
SAYLERs representative or agent. It
was bought for SAYLER, not for JACK
SON, and the druggist was not even
technically guilty of selling to an ha-
bituallyintoxicated person, unless that
be SAYLER's character.
Will the Commercial undertake to
say, that it makes any difference as to
Dunn's guilt in the matter, whether
the liquor was for Jackson or Sayler,
if Dunn supposed it was for Jackson ?
That he did thus suppose was clearly
proved by Jackson himself, who tes-
tilted that Dunn asked him if he
wanted the whiskey for medicine, to
which Jackson replied that he did.
It is clear, then, that if Jackson was
intoxicated at the time, and in the
habit of getting intoxicated, and
Dunn knew it, (ali of which can be
proved) Dunn was guilty both in fact
and intent, of selling in violation Of
law. It makes no difference as far as
Dunn is concerned, for whom the
liquor was really bought, if he sold ii
to Jackson, believing it to be for him.
as the evidence shows that he did.

Mr.. Dunn in Trouble Again
He is Bound Over on Eight
Additional Charges of Illegal
LiQuOr-SelIing.

Since our last issue, the Temper
ance men have been making things
rather uncomfortable for Mr.. Dunn,
of injunction notoriety, and have
pretty effectually stripped him of the
borrowed plumage he has hitherto
been allowed to wear, as a seller of
liquor only in strict accordance with
the law. He has been arrested and
bound over to Court on eight distinct
charges of illegal selling, in addition
to the Jackson case, noticed in our
last issue making mine cases against
him already, "and the cry is, still
they GOMEZ
All these cases but two are for
selling liquor to be drank on the
premises, and the proof against him
is clear in every case. The other
two cases are for selling liquor to
minors, and in these also the evi-
dence is strong and direct.
Mr.. Dunn has no right to complain
of the course of the Temperance men
in causing him to be prosecuted. He
stubbornly resisted the prayers and
appeals of the good women of our
town, who entreated him to sign the
druggists pledge, and cease selling
liquor except for medicinal purposes.
He got out an injunction to prevent
them from visiting him, and then
sued them and their husbands and
fathers for $4,000 damages, which
suit is now pending. All this he did
upon the false assumption that he
was being perSecatted for selling
''strictly according to law" This
idea has been industriously circulated
by himself and his friends through
out the State, and has gained him
considerable sympathy where the
facts were not known. Our Temper
ance men, well knowing his assump-
ton of innocence to be false, and
having tried in vain by gentler means
to Ie3 SlkCz0e him TO desist from his
course, have at last determined to
prove to the satisfaction of the pub
lie, that he has repeatedly violated
the laws, and to test the question
whether they can be enforced against
him.
This is all there is in the cry OF
'.perSecutiO'" which is being raised
by his friends and sympathizers.
