Il is an iniirmity of man to cling to the
teachings of past generation, and to
stubbornly resist the light Of reform and
progress. Health-reform and temperance

COLvER HAY FOR HORSES. - The New
York Hcrad says: Many farmers are
strenuously opposed to red clover as feed
for horses of any kind, as they contend
the poisonous dust which rises from the
dead stalks and dry leaves frequently
causes the heavcs. For many years we
have kept horses almost exclusively ON
clover hay through our long winters, and
il the clover was cut when about one half
the blossoms had turned brown, and the
hay mostly cured in the cock in good
weather, 80 rs to retain most of its leaves
and heads, and green appearance, we
have never known il to produce either
cough or heaycs. We know Of no reason
why il should produce a cough in horses,
any more than red top or herd grass
Clover when cut early for hay, as it gen
orally should be, from its succulence, If
not well dried before being carried to the
barn in large quantities, is very liable to
heat in the NOW, or ON the scaiiold this
process produces some injurious chemical
changes in the hay. The starch, sugar,
gum, etc, first assume the yinous fer
mentation, producing saccharne quality
in the hay. If the change here be ar
rested, no bad results would follow, the
nutritiye and healthy quality of the hay
would not be lessened-but generally the
yinous runs into the acetous iermen-
tation-this is followed by sourness,
mouldiness and dust. Such musiy hay,
fed to horses, when made from clover or
any other kind Of grasses, would be very
likely to produce stubborn eongh, fire.

THE emigtant carrying steamship line

The emtgrant carrying steamship lines
between European ports and New York
are having one Of those kind Of fights in
which our railroad companies sometimes
indulge, and as q result the emigrant
fare across the ocean has been reduced
from thirty.hve 10 fifteen dollars. So great
a reduction cannot, Of course, beperma-
nent, and 1t Is hard to see how 1t can be
made remuneratiye, as 1t includes not
only the carrying but also the feeding Of
the emigrant. No doubt the reduction
of fare will lead to very close economic
ing in the matter Of provisions, and we
are likely to hear during the coming sea-
son of over-crowded ships, bad food, and
an adding oof all the horrors oithe steer.
age passage. An effect Of the reduction
is also expected to be an increase in the
number OF emigrants, result, we think,
hardly matter for congratulation in the
present over-crowded condition Of our
labor market. The natural tendency Of
emigration Is bringing to America quite
as large additions of population as can be
proftably absorbed by the productive in.
dustries Of the country, and though we
run counter to the generally received
opinions on the subject, we are quite con-
vinced that there is no reason Tor con.
graduation over any adventtious circum'
stances that may increase this flow Of
emigration above its steady and natural
current.

Flfty Thousand Victims Of the Flood,
From Tho Now orleans PlcAyune, May2l

From the New Orleans PlcAyune, May2l
It isestimsted by the Distributing Com.
mittee, which holds It's sessions daily, on
Csrondelet street, that there arc fifty
thousand persons in this State who have
been made homeless and foodless by the
inundation Of this State.
That this Is no .exageerat;on Is shown
BY the amount Of rAtions which ia being
distributed. At least forty thousand per
day arc dispatched to the various agen.
cies, and these do not meet the demand.
Yesterday there were regulations for
i, 900. rations from two localities In the
0uachita Valley. The Purchasing and
Distributing Committees are kept busily
at work from 0 till 8 every day, and
still the labor and demand grow upon
them. The liberal donations received
from various quartersiofy the country will
be judiciously and faithfully applied.
Thus far we believe that the money do.
nations reach about 100000. Besides
these there are large amounts ol provis.
ions, which are promptly forwarded.
These timely and generous contributions
will tend greatly TO alleviate the condi.
ton Of many, but 1t Is not reasonable to
expect that all the suffering which has re.
suited from so wide spread disaster will
be relieved from these sources.

TIE West Virginia editors met in con.
vention at Parkersburg yesterday, and no
doubt were Handsomely entertained by
the people Of that city. Our sister
city has a good deal Of worldly wisdom in
such matters, and knows how to put her
best foot foremost No doubt she will
make good impression on the fraternity,
and we shallno be surprised to hear them
chanting her praises in their columns for
months to come. Indeed, It would not
surprise us 10 see honorable mention Of
her name as a candidate for the Capital.
Beyond drinking some good wine and
smoking some highly favored cigars, we
suppose that our brethren Of the press did
not transact much business of Importance,
1t Is barely possible that they passed a
resolution in favor Of restoring the
ranking privilege to the newspapers and
returning thanks to the indelatigable
HERRFoRD for his efforts in Congress to
that end. 1ithey did this, and then after
wards visited Blenarhassetrs Island, and
finally wound up with carriage ride to
