A Horse Shoe for slippery streets.

In letter to the London Times,
George Fleming, veterinary surgeon
OF royal engineers, describes an in
vention for enabling horses to perform
their work with safety on ice-covered
roads and slippery streets, which has
been used to great success on the horses
OF a company of the army service
corps. The following extract from the
letter may prove Of practical value to
horsemen in this country:
"Somc time ago l tried a simple
steel stud of square shape, some two
or three inches in length, one end of
which is pointc /; the other end, which
has a very slight taper, fits tightly into
hole of corresponding size at the eX-
tremity of each branch or heel of
the shoe, reaching nearly to, but not
above, its foot, surface. During No
vember, before the frost set in, the
tarrier-sergeant was instructed to
punch the square holes in the shoes of
every horse he shod. This entailed
very little additional trouble, but in
sured the transport against surprise by
the weather, for the studs were made
! at the same time and kept in readiness;
blacksmiths apprentice could provide
any number of them in a very short
space of tinc." Mr.. Fleming adds
that the slight taper ON the portion
of the steel which fits into the shoe
can be easily taken out when required,
as for renewal, to be resharpened,
when the horse is in the stable, or
when thaw commences. Riding or
light-draft horses need only to have q
stud at each heel, but heavy-draft
animals may be provided with one at
the toe If stud drops out, which is
rarely the case if it fits the hole well,
1t can be readily replaced ON the spot
by spare one, number of which
should always be kept. The studs
last for long time, and may be re-
sharpened as often as may be neces-
sary by sending them to the black
smith. Those of the army service
corps were made from old rasps."

Iy TO SUCCEED SECRETARY DELANo-His PUBLIC
SERVICES AND CHARACTER.
Special Dispatch to the Nec York Times.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-G. Dawson Coleman,
of Pennsylvania, is now named with some degree
of positveneas as the successor Of Secretary
Delano Messrs. Fish and Jewell, the only
members OF the Cabinet now here, say they know
nothit touching the succession, so that the re-
port of the appointment of Mr.. Coleman stands
without official confirmation. Notwithstanding
this, however, prominent officers Of the Govern-
ment, whose means of information are ample,
assert that there is no doubt whatever that
Coleman has been offered the place, and per-
sons who claim to know him express tho belief
that he will accept. Mr.. Coleman is man OF
large wealth, and is engaged in mining and man
ufacturing iron in Lebanon County, Penn. He
was member of the State Legislature from
1865 to 1869, three years of which were served
in the Senate. He is now member of the
Pennsylvania Board of State Charities. His en-
tire salary in both branches in the Legislature
was bestowed upon charitable institutions Of his
native county, the salary for his first two years
service going toward the erection in Lebanon of
a monument to fallen soldiers of the rebellion.
He is man of unimpeachabe integrity. and is
highly esteemed throughout Pennsylvania, to
the people of which State he is intimately
known.
