STOCK IT L Nj 5

| Ock l. NJ >.
The sale of stock, especially Shorthorn
has been brisk this fall and the prices are
reported as being quite satisfactory.-Er
change.
Six. hundred Hungarian merino sheep
were recently sold at Edinburgh, for from
lSs. 3d., to 22s. Cd. They arrived in rather
bad condition..
At Benning's Station race-course, Wash
ington, ON the oath ult., Goldsmith Maid
trotted against her best time 2:l4. for a
purse of S ? 1000. The track was heavy, and
her fastest heat was trotted in 2:191.
The Hoosier hero, Red Cloud, is getting
into form again, if report be true. This
week, at the Warwick County, Ind, Fair,
he beat Huckleberry and Little Sam three
straight heats, in 2:31, 2:3s}, 2:37.
The London Land and Water says: A
herd of dairy stock from the Attorney and
Guernsey Islands was sold by auction at the
Agricultural Hall, Islington, recently. The
Attorneys realized 2019gs., and the Guern-
sey COWS made high prices, varying from
2Ogs. to 2sgs. each.
George L~indenberger. of Louisville, KY,
has sold his fine stallion to w. J. Nicely.
Ottawa, ILL.,, for $4,000. Byron has a rec
ord of 2:259 and can now show a full mile
in 2:2o. Mr.. Nicely will place Byron in the
stud. He is perfectly sound and kind. and
is the sire of some OF the fastest colts in the
United States.
The Rural World says: Berkshire pigs
and hogs sold at very high prices at the St.
Louis Fair. Many at three and four months
old were sold at sS75 to $loo5 each, and at
greater ages at higher prices. The Messrs.
Craig sold a sow and her litter (about two
weeks old) for $500. The demand was
very active, and everybody sold. out.
A harness-broken and trained moose.
called Tecumseh, has been matched to trot
a mile in 2:20, in harness. He is owned at
St. John, N. b., and singular coincidence
OF the affair is that the trot takes place
over the, tine race-course at thatplacey known
as Moosaasath Park. They claim great speed
and stamina for Tecuseh, but he is NOT fhe
most leyel-headed animal in existences. IF
he wins this match we shall iizvestioate his
pedigree.

Shooting HORSES.
Half of the lameness among horses il
caused by bad shoeing. There must be
level bearing of the hoof for the shoe, sc
that the horses foot can stand upon thu

will be in pain, and something, somewhere
m the foot Or leg, will finally give way, anf

the heels are cut down too much, as is fire.
quently the case, the joints of the hoof are
on q constant strain, and some of them will.
suffer and succumb sooner or later. If the
heels are left too high, and the toe is cut
down too much, the strain will come in a
different way, and will be just as injurious.
Ii one side of the hoof is lower than the
other, the foot must suffer. The constant
study OF the sheer should be to get a natu-
raj bearing. He must have an eye and a
taste for the business. The horse cannot
talk or complain, even; and he must study
the horses foot, read authors in regard to
it, understand its anatomy, and notice how
horses stand without shoes. All that is
wanted of the shoe is, to protect the hoof
from the ground. 1t don't want to be cut
nd burnt, and opened and slashed away at.
although it was a piece of wood. 1t is

OVER BREEDING AND CLOSE BREEDING.
The breeders in England Of improved
stock already see that the refinement of
breeding and the forcing of stock has been
carried quite too far. The Saturday Review
has the following just comments on the sub
ject:
Doubts begin to be expressed pretty free
~ in England as to whether high breeding
has not already been cultivated to excess.
1t appears to be admitted by all hands that
Shorthorn cattle, for instance, have de-
creased in size, while it seems also certain
that the fecundity of these highly-bred ami
mails is not so great as it was; for it is said
that certain tribes have become celebrated
for the barrenness Of their females, while at
the same time a delicacy Of constitution has
been developed which units them tor
roughing it, and requires luxurious arrange
ments to preserve them in health. As in
our, race horses, we have, according. to
some authorities, sacrificed stoutness of con-
stltutlon and capacity Of endurance over long
courses for the sake of obtaining high speed
over a short distance, so in our cattle. the
desire for f%ineness of bone and rapid devel-
opment OF meat has brought into. fashion
animals which ave lost many of the val
liable properties of their ancestors. Such
breeds cannot exist when subjected to the
rough weather which prevails ON the ex-
posed hillsides and moors which are so val
liable as breeding grounds and nurseries for
stock and perhaps it is for this reason that
Ireland, which is prolific for cattle raising
without shelter, fails to send us ANYTHING
which can obtain a place in our exhibitions.
No doubt Ireland possesses frst-class cattle:
these. are bred, sheltered and ted under
the same conditions as those to be seen at
1slington. And the consumers have some
thing to say also in the matter, as there is
beef and beef. They prefer, and justly pre-
the meat of the Devon or Scot, whose
young days are spent in cropping the seam

cause the meat has more flavor than that Of

Mr.. Bergh. New York proposes to look after
the young human animal. A society for the
prevention of cruelty to children has
been created. II held It's first meeting last
week, and the occasion is said to have
promised something for this good cause.
Better late than never applies to this move
ment. 1t Is well to interfere in behalf of
the dog, the horse or the mule, to save him
from the violencs of a brutal master, but
how much more loudly do the cries of help

and mothers, call for the interposition of hu-

every considerable town and nelghborhood
of bsrbaric cruelty exercised by degraded,
drunken and ferocious parents upon the
children left wholly and unprotected
in their power. 1t is not New York
alone that should awake to this philan-
thropy but every state and every city where
civilization, refinement aud Christianity
hold their seats. The course and work of
the New York society will be studied with
careful scrutiny and its results reported as

proper exercise of the elective franchise.
The people of this state all know how
shamefully he abused the trust that was
reposed in him upon that question, and how
be soon sfterward strove to maintain his
position and influence with his party
throughout the country by the manipuIa-
ton ofthe legislature of Indiana in secur-
ing the alleged ratification of the amend
ment by the state of Indiana. Upon an
other occasion Mr.. Morton, in striving to be
in harmony with public opinion in the
West, took position in favor of the finance
bill that CIR. Grant vetoed. It was but a
short time before he forsook the cause of the
people, the election being over, and was
soon found yielding submission to President
Grsn', and actually labored to secure
the passage of the resumption bill, and,
indeed, claims something of its paternity,
assuming to be the godfather at least. Now
the position of the Republican party, which
will soon nominate a candidate for the
presidency, is decidedly in favor of the re-
sumption bill, which is gradually contract
ing the currency. There is no question
about this. The whole party vote in con-
Democracy voted against it. But Mr.. Nor
ton saw, and still sees, that his own party in
this state favors the repeal of the gold bill.
He sees very plainly that in order to main
tain supremacy in this state he must take a
step backward. Hence his organ, the
Journal, now comes out in favor of repeal,
and letting resumption take care OF Itself
in accordance with the natural laws of
finance. Are Republicans who occupy the
exactposition assumed by the Sentinel on
the finance question going to trust Mr..
Morton in his new position which he so
earnestly opposed only last October in
Ohio. The Journal, which espouses his
nomination for the presidency, it may be
presumed. reflects his views on the question.
In February the Republicans of this state
will meet in convention. Morton wishes
the Endorsement OF that convention for the
presidency. he could not get it If he ad-
hered to his Ohio speeches. The Journal
knows this. 1t knows that the sentiments
of Republicans in this state favor repeal.
Hence the change in order to secure the en-
dorsement of the state convention. Now
since the Journal has been so kind as to
open its columns to afford the publication
of Democratic sentiments, and let Demo-
Gratis be heard, as it claims, the Sentinel re-
turns the compliment, and asks the Journal
10 behalf of the Republicans of this state If
Senator Morton does propose, as a candidate
for the presidency, to take the position of
favoring repeal of the Sherman bill. Re-
publicans want to know this before they en-
dorse him in February. 1t is true that it
may embarrass Mr.. Morton's position with
his party generally. and the administration,
to come out openly on that question just
now. but it is due to Republicans that he
should do so if they are asked to endorse

1t appears thst the Republicans of the
Senate are determined to oust Mr. Ferry
from his position as president of the Senate.
The exac. motive of the senators is not ap-
parent in this movement. Do the senators
really fear that Grant viii die before the
end of bis term, and that they will then have
a president who is adverse to the platform
laid down in Shermsn's bill? 1t is well
known that Mr.. Grants friends are very
uneasy about his habits, but it is not gen.

Morton on Resumption

The greenback Republicans who wish to
put some faith liz the Journals new fedged
zeal on the subject of repeal of the resump-
ton bill of Mr.. Sherman, have been greatly
surprised that Mr.. Morton has not sail
anything on this subject yes in congress.
He can arise and talk on other subjects,
but he does not wish to speak out his West
ern opinion in the East. Mr.. Morton surely
has some opinion now upon that subject.
He can not leave the Journal here to take
care of his greenDack views, and be silent
in congress-. The republicans OF this state
do want to know just what chute
the party, and that means Morton,
will take upon this subject. The 18th OF
February will soon be here, and II Mr..
Morton fails TO come out openly against the
longer continuance of the Sherman bill as
the law, then they will, as The Evansville
Journal proposed. find political home in
the maintenance OF their views in anothef
party.
The Democratic members Of the House
speak out plainly. Senator Mcdonald has
spoken out plainly. 1t Is well understood
how the Democratic party of this state stands
on the subject of resumption. Only Mr.
Morton keeps quiet. Is be on the fence?

The Southern Indiana. states Prison.

Information has been received from jeff
ersonville touching the condition of labor
in the Southern States Prison that calls for
visit.from the governor and other state officers
who will leave for that place this morning.
It appears that under the administration of
Mr.. Shuler, as warden of the prison, the Ia
Dor of nearly all the prisoners was con-
tracted to the Southwestern Car Company
on such terms as would give relief to the
state in annulling the contracts upon fail
ure to pay the stipulated wages.
at designated times. Due notice, in
accordance with the terms of the contract,
had been given, and finally upon the failure
to respond, the prison doors We're closed
upon the Car Company's free employees and
foremen from the outside, and the ent;ae
business OF the company was suspended.
The result of the matter is that the prison.
ers will be idle. while the expense of feed
ing, clothing and guarding them will 60 on.
This will all be heayysexpense to the state.
which should DO svoided,if pO- sible.
Under the system adopted while the otats
prisons were under Democratic manage

such contingency as hes just ocoarred.
Under the old system of letting oat the
labor in parcels OF Fifty and one, hundred
men to different contractors, and these en-

wages promptly paid. Is at any time a con-

TO be suited to particular work. The addi-
ton OF fiTe or six or more to anyeontractor
was always acceptable, SO the intsrnsl man.
sgemens of the prison put on w:bhout inter

pendent, and always ready to withdraw the
men vahen their wages were not promptly
paid. But the consequence ia readily seen
In the plan adopted by Col Shuler
No 6isposition could be made of the men
if they were withdrawn, and the state would
not lose anything by their, work. So the
prisoners have been continued at work
until sone thirty -four thousand dollars OF
Indebtedness has accrued. But now the
state in self-defense Is forced TO auuul the
contract and leave the prisoners idle.
The state can not afford to make any com
promises in the matter now, even If the
prisoners remain idle. In matter involv
ing such expense nothing should be done te
