The Feeling in the South.

The following extract is made from a
private letter written by resident of
Mississippi-a letter written with no
thought of publication, and with all the
frankness of private correspondence:
Grants recent order in relation to the
lawlessness that has for some time pre-
vailed in the South has had a most cool.
ing effect upon the ardor of the would-be
(again) rebels of this country. They were
outspOken in their denunciations of the
Government and of Republicans, both
white and colored, in the South, and l
feared for some weeks that it would be
impossible for US to remain here in safe
ty; but the prospect of color line Of
blue-coats in our midst changes their
tone materially. And it will be when
this generation has gone to Jim Fisl's
favorite place before the Southern
people can be trusted in their professions
of friendship for the United States Gov
srnment
1--WE profoundly hope that this picture
of rancOrous and implacable hostility,
to be wiped out only with the growth of
new Soner atiOu, may prove exaggerated.
But that it correctly portrays the exist
ing feeling there is, unhappily, too much
evidence to disregard. The present rev.
olutionary outbreak in New Orleans is
striking commentary upon its sad truth.
The outrages at Trenton and Coushatta
and in Alabama are further proofs in the
same line. 1t is unspeakably deplorable
that here, nearly ten years after the close
OF the war, such feeling should prevail.
But the facts are too plain to be disputed,
and we must face them"
That the Presidents order had salu-
tary influence, as this writer in Missis-
sippi describes, there can be no doubt.
1T has not, indeed, prevented the re-
belliOus outrage in New Orleans, but
through most of the lawless sections it
has exercised cooling effect" 1t is a
lamentable truth that only this exhibi-
tion of the arm of power restrains gen
eral carnival of political crime, and it
painfully suggests what disastrous con-
sequences would ensue if the Govern
ment were TO pass into hands in sympa-
thy with the rebel element.-AlbaRy (N

USEFUL AND SUGGESTIVE.


VARIOUS means have been resorted TO
to relieve choked animals; some recon-
mend tying up one forward leg and fore
ing the animal to hobble along; the
effort will cause the obstruction TO be
thrown from the throat. Another rem
edy given is to raise the head Of the
animal as If for drenching, and throwing
down its throat broken hens egg.
THE manufacturers can test new ma
chine and ascertain by few simple
trials whether 1t will manufacture the
desired article cheaper or better than
the old one; but to ascertain how q
pound of beef can be made the cheapest,
what machine will convert hay into rich
cheese in the cheapest and best manner,
is matter requiring a good deal more
care and skill.
so LONG as an egg is an egg and they
are sold by count farmers will not be in
haste to exchange thin, small, old
fashioned barnyard fowls for the large,
improved and more valuable kinds
neither will they be less likely to go on
sorting their eggs, selling the small ones
to the grocer and the large ones to Gus
toners for an extra price, or, what is
more commendable, eating them them
selves.-EpchdRge.
GOOSE OR GANDER.--I find the goose
has always feminine appearance and
the gander the opposite. Her head is
smaller and her beak shorter; knot on
forehead smaller and not so pointed her
neck is shorter and more delicate; the
black streak on back of neck not so high
colored ring round head not so bright
her neck comes out of her body more
abruptly. This is occasioned by her
having larger breast than the gander
giving a square appearance to the body.
The voice of the gander is keener and
louder; color about head more brilliant
eyes keener and always on the lookout
With such marks plain to view any prac-
tical gooseman can readily distinguish
one from the other.-C0r Of Farmers

NO-Party Men.

A few newspapers, with some follow
ing, are just now very lachrymose and
despondent on the subject of parties
With much sOurness they declare that
neither of the two great national parties
should have the administration of the
Government. 1t is evident, they say,
that the party in power cannot be re-
formed, and that the party striving for
power cannot be trusted with it. If this
be true, 1t leaves the grumblers in an
awkward dilemma. They do not pro-
pose any adequate remedy, We have
scanned with great care the complaints
that are made by disconnected people
and the newspapers that represent them.
Not one has yet suggested any way out
of the quagmire in which they profess
to find themselves. OF sO-called "inde-
pendent" journals we seem to have great
plenty but while we affirm that indie
pendenee in political journalism is es-
sential to real influence, we must say
that these independents are only neutral
Theis strength is to sit still and growl at
all the world, II Is so much easier to
tear down than build up that they find
great comfort in lazily pulling things to
pieces. Somehow they fail to give us
anything that shall take the place of
that which they would bring down to
the dust. If IL is true that both the great
political parties are dead and buried, as
the Fentons and Cochranes declare,
what is to become of us all ON election
dayy We must have parties of some
sort. In a republican government es-
pecially we do need active and dominant
political organization. II would appear
that the criticism of the no-party men is

on without intermission until the hold is
emptied, the workmen relieving each
otherj but II cannot be done quite as
rapidly as the loading. Some of the
sailors, dressed in their warmest winter
clothing, are down in the hold cutting
apart the blocks which have become
frozen together, placing the ropes around
them, and fastening them to the cable
that passes over the pulley. Other
sailors and native East Indians are on
the deck, where IL is so hot that they are
glad to dress very lightly. They are
pulling at the ropes and in this way
hauling the ice out of the hold. Others
are conveying It to the depots on the
shore, where 1t Is stored away in vast
quantities. Near these may be seen
groups of natives waiting to be served
with ice, which is to be carried to the
hotels and other houses. Some of these
natives have already been served, and
have started upon their journey into the
city, six or eight of them bearing a
framework of bamboo sticks and cords,
in which is suspended monstrous block
of ice as beautiful and transparent as
rock crystal.
And, after all the labor at Lake On
tario, after the transportation to Boston,
the loading and unloading of the vessels,
the sums of money that must be paid to
so many workmen, and the voyage of
several thousand miles, ice can be
bought in the cities of India in ordinary
| seasons, at three cents a pound l-Ft0n,

Old Fashions.

In England, in the time of Severus, the
most northern Britons were entirely
without clothing, and to this they were
hardened by use. A part, however, of
the inhabitants had better covering, and
were attired with skins; and after, as
civility grew under the Romans, they
assumed the Roman habit.
The English, at the first arrival of the
Romans, used long jackets, and were
shaved on the head, saving about the
crown. Afterward they wore loose and
large white garments, with broad lace of
divers colors, as the Lombards. Some
what before the Conquest they were all
dressed very gay with coats to the mid
knee, the head shorn, the beard shaved,
their erms laden with bracelets, and
their faces painted.
Whosoever will enter into this argu-
ment since the Conquest, his pen NAV
have a spacious walk; but as / propose
to be brief | will omit the royal habits
OF Kings at their coronations, the mantle
of st. Edward, the dalmatiea with
sleeves, the sacerdotal garment, their
hose and sandals, as also the honorable
habiliments, as robes of state, etc. OF
these matters each would require a
treatise. | win briefly note what / have
observed more generally in my little
reading.
Robert, eldest son to the Conqueror,
used short hose, or stockings, and there.
upon was named Court-hose, as he
showed first the use Of them to the En-
glish,
King Henry l. reprehended much of
the immodesty of apparel in his days.
The particulars are not specified; but the
wearing of long hair, with locks and
perukes, he abolished.
King Henry III. brought in the short
mantle, and he therefore had the name
of Court-mantle. In his time silk was
brought out of Greece into Sicily, and
then into other parts Of Christendom

Danger Of Feeding Green Fodder.

j. ]. MECHI, of London, England,
states that person who was accustomed
to supply his teams with green feed lost
two cart horses worth $50. One was
found dead and distended in the morn
ing, the other died in the course of the
day. and another person lost two cows.
Young green tares, especially when cut
Immediately after rain, are most danger
Gus, with the ordinary mode of placing
them before animals in unlimited guam
tity as cut by the scythe The losses
caused by this system in their annual to-
tai most be enormous. For thirty years
we have avoided such losses by invaria-
bly, passing all green food, tares, grass,
Italian rye grass, clover and green beans
through the chatf-cutter. According to
the condition of its growth we mix more
or less of tine-cut straw or hay chaff with
it. This absorbs its superfluous moisture
and prevents tiatulence, distension and
death. The same principle is applied to
pulped roots-pulped cabbage, kohl rabi,
mangel-the latter being most danger
Gus early in the season unless so ad-
mixed. The cost of doing all this is a
tritle as compared with the serious
losses occasioned by its omission. The
value of single animal would pay the
extra cost for several years. In fact,
have long since arrived at the conclu-
sion that the turning out, roaming at
large and whole food system will be
given up by those who prefer profit to
loss. Over-ripe foods, either tares or
clover, which are rough and indigestible,
require communion. OF fcourse, in such
case, being deficient rather than over
full of moisture, they do not require
straw chatf, or, at all events, very little
of it. If horses are 10 have water, it
should be before eating green tares in
wet state, not after. Bean meal should
be intermiXed with or attached to the
out food in the manger, so that the ami
mails cannot take it unmiXed. Our horses
coming in from work are not allowed to
drink cold water until after having eaten
little manger food.-N. Y, Herald.

Opportunity to Try an Organ Before

a Cabinet Organ would be capital

1t would be permanently valued, but fear
that after a few months use the family
would tire of it, and so it would prove "A

The progress of railway construction
in Russia for the last five years has been
as wonderful as in America. A vessel
was cleared from New York Sept. 2,
1874, with twelve locomotives and two
passenger cars destined for the port of
Taganrog, Southern Russia, designed for
a railroad from that point to the interior.
There were 1900 miles of railway con-
structed in Russia in 1878, and there
were at the close of that year in the Rus.
sian Empire 10000 miles of railway in
operation. The extension in 1873 was
principally toward the west and south
west of the Empire There were trans
ported on these forty-five roads of the
Empire, in 1873, 81 900, 600 tons of mer-
chandise, against 16,620000 tons in 1872.
This rapid extension of railways is revo-
lutioniZing the grain trade of Russia.

No MORE HERoICs.-The deadly veg.
etable alkaloids, such as Mercury,
Strychnine and Prussic Acid, cannot
cure disease or produce any but the most
disastrous results. Perhaps no event has
occurred of late years which is so well
calculated to disabuse the public mind
of a belief in the efficacy of mineral
poisons and bleeding as the discovery of
DIR, Walker, of California, of certain
medicinal herbs, whose healing prin-
ciples he has extracted and combined in
the form of VINEGAR BTTrERs. The cures
wrought by it seem marvellous. Its ac-
tion is mild and agreeable, but at the
same time rapid and etfectual, and being
unimpeded by the presence of alcohol or
fermented liquor of any description is
attended with results hitherto unachieved
by any remedial agent. The cures of
Bilious Complaints, Malarious Fever,
Dyspepsia, Rheumatism, Scrofula, and
all diseases arising from impurities of
the blood attest the paramount excel
lence of this medicine, and justify us in
recommending it. 2

An Elephants Revenge.

AT Sacramento, few weeks ago,
some fellow at menagerie gave a piece
of tobacco to an elephant, which caused
the animal to give way to terrible fit of
anger. 1t seized the nearest object upon
which to wreak its vengeance, and this
proved to be the eleven-year-old son of a
Mr.. H. W. Luhrs The great beast
wound his trunk about the boy and
squeezed him 50 tightly as to break his
right arm between the elbow and the
wrist and to severely bruise his body
Being compelled to release his hold of
the boy, the enraged animal, as soon as
the lad dropped, again attempted to seize
him, and in the effort came near taking
the youths head of 1t was on all hands
considered more than fortunate that the
animal did not cast him down and tram
pie him to death, and also fortunate that
the angered brute did not run a-muck in
the crowd, as elephants have done when
tobacco has been given them. The boy
was not dangerously hurt. Such trick
may have seemed very funny to the fel.
low who played it, but it would have
been more generally satisfactory had the
elephant given him the hug instead of
injuring an innocent boy.

A Famous Medical Institution.

itFOm tne ChlcagO llmes.)
"The name Of Dr. r. V. Pierce has become
as familiar to the people all over the country
as household words. His wonderful RENE
dies, his pamphlets and books, and his large
medical experience have brought him into
prominence and given him a solid reputation.
The Times, in the present issue, presents a
whole-page communication from DIR. Pierce,
and our readers may gain from it some idea of
the vast proportions OF his business and the
merits of his medicines He has at Buffalo a
mammoth establishment, appropriately
named The Worlds Dispensary,' where
patients are treated and the remedies com
pounded. Here nearly a hundred persons
are employed in the several departments, and
a corps Of able and skilled physicians stand
ready to alleviate the suiIerngs of humanity
by the most approved methods. These ply
slclans are in frequent consultation with DR..
Pierce, and their combined experience is
brought to bear on the successful treatment
of obstinate cases. The doctor is a man of a
large medical experience, and his extensive
knowledge of materia mediCa has been ac-
knowledged by presentations Of degrees from
two Of the first Medical Colleges in the land.
How meritorious his works are may be in
ferred from the fact that his pamphlets and
books have been translated into German,
Spanish, and other foreign languages, and
have been i'm heavy demand. As an evidence
Of the business of the dispensary 1t is only
necessary to state that for the quarter ending
March 81, 1874, the sum expended for postage
alone, not to speak of that paid on newspapers
received, was S2,0S0.70. Aperusal of the com
