EniZOOfic i'm Horses.

This disease, that swept over this en-
tire country and proved so serious in
the fall of 1872, is appearing again this
fall, though probably in q milder form.
Nearly all the horses of this and other
cities are affected with it already, and
it is certain to spread to the country
very soon. Horses tnat are in good
condition will suffer the least from its
attack. Its first SYM tom is a slight
cought, which gradually becomes more
frequent and severe, accompanied with
running at the nose and swelling of the
threat between the jaw bones. Horses
that are in good heart and are properly
taken care of, will probably only be
slightly affected.
We advise the simplest treatment
possible. Keep the horses in a warm.
comfortable, clean, and well-ventilated
stable, blanketed in wet, cold weather;
feed well with oats and sweet hay
| (corn is too heating), with a good bran
mash once day; the only medicine
needed is tC thoroughly rub the throat
with some good liniment if it should
become much swollen, and be very
careful not to let them take cold. A
little exercise every day at light work,
or careful driving, we deem beneficial,
but any violent exercise, or anything
over-exertion, will be almost certain tC
produce serious results. The aim
should be to keep the horse in as strong
heart as possible, and nature will soon
work out the disease. Its usual term
is from twelve to twenty days. OhiC

Reasons Why the Cry for SHORE
Grcenbacks"i is Dishonest.

Judge Lawrence, of Ohio, is debating
imitation rs. honest appreciation OF the
greenbacks, with an advocate OF the
former policy, gave the folio ing terse-
ly expressed reasons why working men
and debtors should be opposed to these
Democratic doctrines just defeated in
Ohio, and now in the balance in PENN
sylvania. Imitation "Would depreciate
the value of the currency. This would
swindle crediti r.. 1t is dishonest. 1t
would operate like dishonest law to
compel creditors to take fifty cents on
the dollar of their dues. Spectators
and shrewd men might invest and
save themselves, but the iabOrers
would suffer the loss. They are the
most numerous creditors. The wages
due them is S120, 600, 900. They have
deposits in savings banks of S160, ,00O,-
600; in trust companies and other
banks, 5000, 1000, 900, and have other
moneys due, S130, GOO, 900. These are
the men who would suffer.
at Wouid be TuinOuS to debtors. Ii
initiation and depreciation are to come,
no man would make a new loan to a
debtor; creditors will not extend the
time Of payment. They will sue
speedily to collect in, and invest while
money has value, and before deprecia-
ton. Debtors could not get the new
greenbacks, except by giving some
thing for them. If issued, they could
only be put in circulation by buying
bonds at large premium. This would
increase the public debt and put all the
money ia the hands Of the fec bond
holders, who could combine and con-
troll the business of the country"

Answering Letters.

A great many people in this country
are sbamefully negligent about answer
ing letters. Nothing Is more annoying.
In European countrys it is regarded as
the height of ofill-breeding to allow a
letter which needs a reply to go unans-
wered, and SO it ought to.be considered
here. This is point on which parents
should lay great stress to their chill
dren. They should be taught to con-
slider it as rude not to reply to letter
which needs attention as to hand a
fork with the prong end. The busiest
people are generally those who are the
most exact in this respect. The late
Duke of Wellington, who, it will be
admitte d, had good deal on his hands
at different times of his life, replied to
every letter, no matter from how hum
BILE source. Once a clergyman, who
lived in different part of the King
dom, wrote his Grace, on whom neith-
er he nor his parish had shadow of
claim, to beg for Il subscription 10 re-
build a church. By return of mail
came back letter from the Duke to
the effect that he really could not see
why in the world he should have been
applied to fer such an object; but the
parson sold the letter as autograph for
e5, and put the Duke down for that
amount among the subscribers.

other, or in the truth and reality of a
fact. Safety, OF assurance of safely
Commercial confidence, then, must

of mind, whrlher of one man, or of
twenty men, il is not a thing to be
written up or written down in the
newspaper but a matter OF fact, TO be
studied and proved by the ordinary
laws of evidence. 1t is lost in man
when it is seen that he is speaking or
acting contrary to truth and honor and

ficient proof has been given OF honor
and right being again accepted as the
governing u4UtIves of the life. Aud 1t
is gained and lost in d thousand men
in the same manner. Business conf
dence stands, and can stand, only on
the recognized ability and integrity OF
business men,. We put ability first, not
being most Important, but because it is
the real foundation, without which the
hiy hest integrity will not avail. When
credit is given it is always on the
ground that the man to whom it Is
given is able as well as willing to pay
the debt. The distrust of either lm-
pairs confidence, but the knowledge
that the mau l;t, no means with winch

False confidence is the ruin Of traue.-

finds him With ready cash in hand, or

of his ability to meet his obligations,

of ability and integrity. Can the pres

fidence?" Does not the root of the |
evil lie deeper, and will not the cure
come by process such as has been |
above suggested? The consumers, the
men who buy to use. and not the ones |
who buy to sell again, are the only |
ones who can restore trade to its ma

LULU AGAINST TINE.


This was, of course, considered the
event of the day, and the result proved
that it was not only the event of the
day, butthe greatest trotting event of
the year. Though Lulu failed to beat
Goldsmith Maids best time-2:l4--she
succeeded in trotting three heats that
aggregated the fastest time on record,
and beat even her magnificent per-
forrnance here last August. She was
accompanied by a piebald running
horse attached to sulky, which WAS
driven just far enough behind her to
excite her to her best efforts. On her
first heat she did not seem to get down
to her best work until she had reached
the backstretch. where the runner had
closed pretty well up. After that she
trOtted splendidly. On the hOmestretch
the pace was very fast, but she only
succeeded in getting in in 2:l64.
On the second heat Green made Il
more desperate attempt to win the COW
eled $1,000 and the glory of beating 2:i4,
and Lulu's trotting for the first three
quarters of mile was such as to inspire
the belief that she would accomplish
the wonderful feat. 1t is generally be-
lieved that she would have done so but
for the high wind which was blowing
from the southeast, and which blew
square in her face quite hard when she
was rounding the'upper turn. Charley
Green put her to her best, but it was
useless, he was just one second too late,
going under the wire in 2:14&. This
practically ended the struggle, though
on her third attempt she made the
splendid time OF ZIG. 1t is the almost
universal belief among hOrsemen that
Lulu will yet succeed in trotting below
2:14, and her performance yesterday
fully justifies it.
