The Mustang at Home.

The Sacramento Union seems TO think that
sympathy for the California mustang is so
much sentiment wasted. 1t says It's pos
sible, indeed probable, that Mr. Bergh has no
intimate acquaintance with the California
mustang, or he would know that his tender
consideration was thrown away upon the
beast. 1t has been justly, though accidental
ly, observed, that the sympathy OF Mr.. Bergh
would have been much more consistently
placed upon the unfortunate rider OF these
mustangs. This IL the simple truth. The
man who undertakes TO ride thirty.fve Cali
fornia mustangs, jumping from saddle TO sad.
die, must be either professional vaquero or
petrifed pOst.boy of the olden time. But
when we contemplate the mustang as an OBJ
ject of compassion and humanity, it is impos-
siblc TO repress a sardonic grin. The army
mule is perfect Chesterfield OF an animal in
comparison with the native California mus
tang. 1t was the mustang that invented the
noble art of bucking. We are aware that the
army mule has experimental In that dlrec-
ton, but no other animal but the California
mustang ever caused his rider to describe II
parabolic curve of the same extent Nor can
the man who has not been bucked by Cali
fornia mustang at all conceive the process.
The victim, while undergoing II, would lnfin-
itely prefer being delivered to an Hyrcanlan

dispensatiun of fate he is landed upon the
crown of his head In the nearest pile Of road
metal, with a dislocated spinal column and a
pang IN every nerve, muscle, sinew and bone,
he regards the author of his woes with ahor-
ror and a detestation far surprising the emo
ton that would be evoked by contemplation
of the most forbIdding antediluvian Saurian
Prof Owen ever revived for the satisfaction
of the curious. If Mr. Bergh had taken II
into his benevolent noddle to espouse the
cause of the prosecuted grizzly or the friend
less rattlesnake, We could have deserted some
pIeam of reason in his conduct; but the hu-
mhultarian who goes out of his way TO protect
the California mustang is so hopeless an il.

DAIN in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, ard is sometimes mis-
taken for rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affected with loss of
appetite and sickness the bowels in
general are costivc, sometimes alter
native with lax; the head is troubled
with pain, accompanied with dull,
heavy sensation in the back part.
There is generally considerable loss
ofmemory, accompanied withapain-
full sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant. Tie patient
complains WEAKNESS and debility;
he is easily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of
prickly sensation Of the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bcnc-
fetal to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up for;itudc enough to try
it. In fact, lie diatruct5 every rem

A VETERAN PEDEsTRTAN,-The Phl!adel-
phia Press OF the Sth INST says;
yesterday afternoon we were visited by
Mr. George W. Dietz, of Now Albany, !ndl-
ana, who has resided in that state for sixty
nine years, and is in the 18th year OF his age.
He lett New Albany, Indiana, on the frst day
of May, and walked the entire distance OF
eight hundred miles to this city, resting tlve
Sundays and stopping two days-one at Gin,
ctnnati and one at GAINESVILLE. He reached
Philadelphia at o'clock yesterday afternoon.
He is in excellent hes It'll. Although Drowned
by the sun, he is bright and cheerful. One
PAIR of shoes lasted him the whole way, and
six hundred and fifty miles was on hard
turnpike. He was not interfered with by
rain, haying fine weather during all his jour
ney. He seems to be in good circumstances,
having paid his way at all the hotels where
he stopped, except in two or three cases,
where the landlords would receive no money.
Wherever he stayed over, people Hooked to
welcome him. The best walk was th!rty-one
miles in one day. and his shortest ten miles
He kept an accurate account of each days
walk, from which it appears that he walked
eight hundred miles from New Albany to
Philadelphia, in two hundred and ninety
eight hours The average is little over two
and one-third miles an hour. He left the
Green Tree yesterday morning at 2, and
reached Philadelphia at IL, nineteen miles in
five hours. A more agreeable, intelligent and
worthy man we have never met. Mr.. Dietz
comes highly recommended, with letters from
Governor Hendricks and the Mayor of New
ALBANY.

Feeding Young Brood Sous.

During the growing season, grass and
red clover should constitute large pro-
portion of the food of brood SOW. Ap-
pies, carrots and parsnips are also excel
lent for such animals. II she should be
fed with swill, let rich milk be diluted
with dish-water, or whey, and a small
quantity of oat meal or barley meal be
mingled with it. Such feed will promote
her growth more and will not fatten as
much as Indian meal. The leading idea
should be to keep brood sow growing,
and her carcass developing, by means of
nutritious food, for one year. No SOW
should be allowed to breed until she is
one year old. Then, if she has been Sc
lected with reference to prolitication and
properly managed, the proprietor may
begin to estimate her excellence as a
breeder. There is nothing gained by al
lowing sows to drop litter of pigs be-
fore they are one year old. But, there is
always more lost than we SUPPOSE
breeding while too young will always
check the proper development of the
carcass. which developing the carcass)
Is an Important consideration in rearing
any kind of domestic animal There is
no other domestic animal that is SO dis
posed to be prococious-to breed while
very young-as are the sows of our i'm
proved breeds Of swine. The Intelligent
farmer should guard carefully against
any adverse Consequences that may oc-
eur from breeding too young, or from
the sows being too fdt.-Prdc!ical Far

Tho Mysterious Woman iu Washing.

A special dispatch to tae Tribune yes

that woman Whose name was not men,
tioned) was kept under close guard at
Willards Hotel, and that No one was
allowed to communicate with her except
by permission from the Sergeant-at
Arms Of the House Of Representatives
| 1t was further stated that sne was there
in connection with the Investigations Of
the House Committee on Naval Affairs.
Inquiry in this city yesterday showed
! that the lady was Mrs. Gen. Roddy, who i,
| it will be remembered was tried last
summer upon the charge of having stolen
bracelet from Gen. Philip Roddy, and
persons named Brooks and Everett, had
teen at the time indicted, at the in
stance OF Mrs Roddy, for conspiracy to
rob her of important papers and docu-
ments while in Chicago. Immediately af-
ter her discharge she demanded the trial
of these persons, but District Attorney
Phelps entered u noble prosequi in their
cases. 1t has since been discovere that
Roddy.Iand Brooks have been engaged
for years past in the collection of what
are believed 10 be fraudulent cotton
claims, and also that they were interes-
ted in p tent known as the Automatic
Pump ,whichlthrough influence in WASH
ington, they managed to have placed up
on nearly all the vessels in the nav6.
Mrs. Roddy was taken from her house
at Hackettstown, N. j. on Wednesday
last by the Sergeant-at-arms, to Will
lars Hotel, Washington, where she was
retained until Monday having appeared
before Messrs. Whitthorne, Harris. and
Lewis, the House Committee on Naval
Affairs, on Saturday night, and also be-
fore tie District Attorney. 1t is said
ttat her testimony is important, and, in
connection with the pump, duplicates
several prominent persons. Roddy and
Brooks have been indicted in Washing
ton on account of their connection with
alleged fraudulent claims to the amount
of about $50 900.

EVANS DEFENDED Mr.. George W.
Evans, in a letter to tho Philadelphia
Times, comes to the rescue of his bro
ther, J. 5. Evans, tho post trader at Fort
Sill, who purchased his contract from
Marsh. From Mr.. Evans letter and the
facts as other witnesses lave testified to.
it appears that j. S. Evans, was more
sinned al. ainst than SHINING, and that he
had no knowledge when he was paying
Marsh for his privilege that portion of
the money was to go into Bslknap's S
pockets. Mr.. Evans claims that his
brother held his position legally, dis
charged his duties faithfully, was dis
placed without cause, and submitted to a
gross and fraudulent imposition to pre-
vent serious loss to himself and others.
