POTATOES FOR HoRsEs.-I ono

POTATOES FOR HoRsEs.-I once
came near losing valuable horse
from feeding him dry hay and oats
with nothing loosening. l have
never believed in dosing a horse
with medicine, but sometimes it is
actually necessary to keep horse in
the right condition. Many use pow
ders, but Irish potatoes are better,
and safer, and cheaper, if fed juici-
ciously. If those who are not in the
habit of feeding potatoes to horses
will try them, they will be astonished
at the result. l have known a horse
to change from lazy, dumpish one,
to quick, active, headstrong animal
in five days, by simply adding two
quarts of potatoes to his feed daily.
When very much clear corn meal is
fed, they do not need so many pota-
toes. Too many potatoes are weaken
ing, and so are too many apples.

in which All Opposition House of Repre-
sentatives, the first since the war, will

Of moment; and always, we trust, treat

States, from the discovery Of the Liner
lean Continent to the close of the First
Century Of american Independence.
ByJa@es d. McCabe, 4~thor of"4
Manual Of General History "IAc
Great Rep"Uic," Etc., Etc.
There has long been a great and uni
yeysal! y-felt want Of History of the
United States suitable for general use.
This want is now being supplied by The
National Publishing Co., Of st. Louis
who have issued handsome volume,
styled THE Centennial History of the
United States" by James D. McCabc,
well-known historical writer. This
work will, undoubtedly, take rank as
the Standard History Of the United
States. 1t is no dry mass of details-no
bonlbastic effort to intlame the national
pride, but is y clear, vivid and brilliant
narrative Of the events of our history,
from the discovery Of the American Con-
tinent down to the present time. 1t
traces the evidences Of that mysterious
rer, the first occupants Of our country,
and gives most interesting account OF
the Indians Of North America, from the
time of the coming of the white men.
The voyages of Columbus, the explora-
tons of the different nations of Europe
and the final occupation and conquest Of
the laah by England, are told with
graphic power.
Every step Of our colonial history is
traced with patient fidelity, and the
sources of those noble. aud We trust, en-
during institutions which lave made our
country free and great, are shown with
remarkable clearness. The causes of our
great struggle for Independence are told
with u logical force and ability ttnsur-
passed in any work of the day. Then
follows a clear and succint account of
theiformation of the Federal Constitn-
ton; the establishment of the Union :;
the course Of affairs until the breaking
out Of the Second War with England !;
anda full and comprehensive account of
that War and its results. The events of
our career from the close Of that contest
10 the commencement of the Civil War,
follow in their order The history Of the
Civil war is related with intense vigor,
aud With a strict fidelity to truth. The
author pleads the cause of no party or
section. He states facts, points out the
lessons which they teach, and appealing
to neither passion nor political feeling,
trusts to tho good sense Of his country
men to sustain his views. Tie book
contains All Appendix, giving an account
d the approaching Centennial Exhibi-
ton.
It is comprised in one large, handsome
octave volume Of ops pages, and con-
tains Az fine engravings on steel and
wood Of historical personages and scenes.
The price is so low that all can afford to
purchase a copy, and each subscriber is
Presented with superb photographic en-
craving Of the Centennial Exhibition
Buildings and Grounds. 1t is sold by
subscription only, aud the publishers
want agents in every comfy.

for tho unsurpassed purity: refinement
and excellcHce of the Serials, Sketches

1t is pre-etnincntly
The Best Family Paper
that is published in this country, from it's
never containing anything that would
offend tho feelings Of any one, either il,
a religious or political sense, or that
could not be read at any hresi'Ie without
objection from the must fasti,li0us.
The circulation Of the Saturday Even
ing Post, Though not quite So large
perhaps, ~ its younger contemporaries,
is not, like tkat II some of them, tluctu-
ating, and too often short lived, but
SURE, SOLID AND SUBSTANTIAL,
based upon the intrinsic merit IF the pa
per itself and not dependent on any ex-
! trancors Influences, such as the popnlari-
ty of individual writer's, &c.
Good, however, as the Saturday Even.

intention to make it still better in the
future, and with this object in view We
will effect a marked improvement in eve

Political Notes.

The political field at the present
moment presents on the surface very
little of interest aside from the effects
nftjle recent decision in the Grant
Parish case. That has undoubtedly
nrp,luced very wonderful effect
among the Radical slate makers.
Prior to that decision Boss Packard
certainly had the call as the probable
candidate for Governor. The names
ranged in the following order: Pack
ard, Warmoth, Anderson, Ray, Lu,le-
ling, with some talk Of +. North Gull
lon. The ticket which it was thought
vonId be pnt through was Packard
and BcckwitlI. But as VIC have be.
fore said, Packard was Boss only be-
rsase United States troops were at
HE beck and call to DO his bidding.
This was prior to the recent decision
of the United States Supreme Court.
Without troops Packard, in the eyes
of the faithful, is not much. War
moth seems now to have the call,
with Returning Board Tom Anderson
running him very close. Kellogg is
nowhere. He gives out the idea that
he is no candidate for a denomination.
The rumored investigation into
Cnstomhousc matters here does not
induce the happiest feeling among
the worthless in that national house of
refuge. Packard says he knows moth
ing of it. But we think we can safe
1y promise him, and not only him,
but his confreres, Jim Casey and Beck
with, that before long they will each
and all of them find themselves and
their actions in their departments the
'sobiect of very interesting inquiry.
We wonder how Casey and Packard
and Beckvith would enjoy the whole
truth being brought out, in the cotton,
whisky and sugar cases here. Not
much!
Among the Conservatives matters
continue very, very quiet. Scarce a
ripple distnrbs the even current of
events. Not that there is nothing
being done. Very far from that. Or
gauizatiou, thorough, complete organ
ization. is quietly going on all the
time--organization for complete vic
tory. Candidates arc not talked Of
or much thong hit abont. The fight is
between the honest masses and the
thieves. The issue demands true
men. IN. 0. Democrat.
