Horn All.

The disease known as the horn all, is
not disease of the horn at all, but a
general constitutional disturbance, re-
sulting from various causes, which
shows itself by Inflammation of the
suppurIation from the bronchial tubes,
and the nasal lining and sinuses. It is
very similar effect to what is known as
the epizooptic in horses. 1t is proba-
bly, better characterized as influenza. or
catarrhal fever. There is much fever.

and general distress andsuffering. The
best treatment is to give purge, if tie
bowels are constipated, but if there is
considerable looseness, an ounce of
aromatic spiTits of ammonia might be
given, in a pint of water. The feet
should be bathed copieusly in hot
water, and the body should be rubbed
briskly with coarse wooden cloth, and
Afterwards clothed with blanket IF

nostriis can be induced, cnre is begun.
To effect this, bag of sealded chaff
should be hung around the muzzle. and
wetted occasionally with hot water AM
vinegar. After the bowels are regulated
two ounces of sulphate of potash NAV
be given night ard mornint, until the
fever is removed. Good nursing, plenty
of cold water, and soft bran mashes

Romance in the Treasury,

A correspondent says 81 am ac-
quainted with 6 lady who writes Spen-
cerian pages in the patent Office at
Washington for 5000 a year. Her father
was naval officer of long and merito-
rious service, and died rear admiral.
Her husband put $40, 900 on the wrong
side of the stock sale in New York, lost,
sueaked TO the hereafter through the
back-door of the suicide. Patient and
lovable, she works as steadily as If
some mighty reward were near at hand.
I suppose it is hope on, hope ever, with
her, though nobody can see anything
she has to expect more than life OF
routine and an humble grave. In Paris
she would have flown first to the streets
and then to the charcoal brazier. In
London it would have been the Argyll
rooms, gin, and the waters of Black
friar's bridge, As you pass the tables
of the ladies in the treasury building
YOU are moving among the better ma
terials for romances than exist in the
teeming brains Of Hugo or Turgenieff.
You see that second woman to your
left, whispered Spinner. Her father
was once at the head of two railroads.
The 81 panic laid him out. She mar
RED a Baden baron, ana he left her IN a
year or two for some Dutch flame. She
has noble little boy, five years old
now. SAYS she is going to fit him for
Harvard by and by, and then make a
senator of him. Watch her count that
money. You cannot move your fingers
up and down in the air as fast as she
brushes of the single notes. Never
did days work of any kind IN her life
till she came here.

Butler in New Orleans.

GA Rebels Recollections in the
August Atlantic, concerns itself with the
conduct of the southern women during
the war. Here is an anecdots of a
young lady who had framed a bit OF
Gen. b. F. Buffers handwriting
In New Orleans, soon after the war,
I saw in 8 drawing-roo one day an
deliberately framed letter, of which, the
curtain being drawn, could only read
the signature, which, to my astOnish-
ment, was that of Gen. Butler.
I" What is that?" asked of the young
gentlewoman I was visiting.
sob, that's my diploma, my certifi.
cate of good behavior, from Ger. But
ler," and taking it down from the wall,
permitted me to read it, telling me al
the same time its history. 1t seems
that the young lady had been very ac-
go = an 1g confederates to escape
from New Orleans, and for this and 9TH
er similar offenses she was arrested
several times. A gentleman who knew
Gen. Butler personally had interested
himself in behalf of her and some ~
her friends, and upon making an apTh al
for their discharge received this Ter
sopal n3te from the commanding gener-
al, in which he declared his W liDgness
to discharge all the others. ''But that
blsck-eyed Miss B., he wrote, "seems
to me an incorrigible little devil wb<n
even prison fare won't tame" Yhe
young lady had framed the note, and
she cherishes it yet, doubtless.
Many of the southern women during
the war denied the mselves not only del
icao;es, but even substantial food also,
in order to add to the stock of proYis-
ions for the army. One of them was
told by friend that she was breaking
down her health by lack of proper diet,
and answered, !" / know that very well,
but must do the little can at any
Acost." And a mound in a southern
Csurch-yard testifies that she meant
what she said.

GREEN OATS FOR Cows.-A CORE
spondent of tie Country Gentleman
writes as follows IN reference to feeding
green oats CT agree with J. f. Cham
pion in raising green oats for COWS, es-
pecially when giving milk. But my ex-
perience is to cut them in the bloom,
and not in the milk on the same prin-
ciple that you would cut green grass
early, instead of late. If you let the
oats advance far enough to raise fifty
bushels of grain to the acre, certain
portion of the stalk becomes woody
fiber, which add nothing TO the COW, the
milk or the manure pile, and comes IN
der the head of nothing from nothing

who was short of fodder the past winter

ASHES AS FooD FOR CATTLE.-A &r-
respondent of the Live Stock Journal
found his cattle one spring affected
with the habit of eating wood, chewing
bones, ETC.. They became thin in flesh,
refused to eat hay, and presented a sick
ly appearance. He had no impression
that their food lacked the constituents
for making bone and his neighbors
used bone-meal, without noticing any
good results whatever. At last he
put about four bushels of leached
ashes in his barnyard and threw out to
them about a shovelful each day. They
all ate as if with evident relish. After
turning them out to pasture, he pat one
peck of dry ashes per week on the
ground in the pasture. They ate all up
and gnawed off the grass where it had
been lying. The cattle began to i'm
prove, gaining flesh and looking better
than they had done for several years
He says this morbid appearance was
unnoticed years ago, from the fact that
the ground was new and ashy from the
burning of the woods and land clear
ings. Latterly he gives one quart of
ashes mixed with the same quantity of
salt to twelve head of cattle about once
a week.
