The Use of Oxen in iiu>handry.

II occurs to us that, among the
many systems now proposed Tor econ,
omi2ing time, labor and means, one @!
the most important tas Teen entirely
nvcrlookcd-the use Of oxen in has
handry, AS substitutes for horses anG
mules This was Formerly done, and
is now often done, in the New Eng
land States, where oxen we're trained
10 draw the plow and To make long
journeys. When young the ANIMALS
were taught quick motion, accGs-
toned to the use Of the bit, aud shod
with cioven shoes.
At first 'hougit our suggestion nav
seem impracticablc, but We think that
Il little examination Of he matter VIII
satisfy our farmer friends that we
have very cogcnt reasons for our sug-
gcstons. In The first place, the first
cost of maintaining horses upon a
farm must he at least twice that nee
c.sarv to keep enough oxen TO do The
same amount of labor. Horses are =
more prccarious property, subject 10
greater variety OF accidents and
diseases, ana whch past labor, bcary
loss 10 their OwGcrS. Oxen, on Tie
contrary, Increase in value till their
ninth OF tenth year, and the profit
from their labor in the meantime
amply rcpays the farmer fer the en-
prnsc incurred in raising and training
,hcm. When no longer capable for
labor, Instead Of being loss 10 the
owner by death, they are a profit.
If, therefore, an OK, ta:ted al ten yeas
of age, sells for cGuugh TO pay tOt
maintaing him to that age, his labor
is clear pioGt. There are other i'm
portant considerations TO be thought
Of in this connection:
|. BY increasing the number of cat
tie, addition is made TO the quantity
of manure made on the farms of the
country.
,. There will he an increase ia tue
quantity Of beef, pork. cheese butter,
candles and soap for market by an
increase Of the cattle, each additional
COW enabling a farmer to raise an
additional hog. Soap, that would not
rot the clothing so much, would also
be obtained, instead of the destructive
stuff now sold aud largely bought,
even BY the farmers.
8. There would he more Edcs to
tan, leather would be cheaper, and the
farmer indirectly beocftcd in the
decreased price Of harness, etc, of al
descriptions.
f. Horse stock is now very low il
value. A farmer cannot make stall
lion Of every colt he has, and it does
not paw bin to maintain him for sale
1t hardly pays to raise him fer hi,
own use. Oxen, however, ale AWAY;
salabe. Every part of them is valu
able, and, when not needed on The
farm, they eau he fattened and SOLD
for beef at any age, from ten up.
Such are the thoughts that sugges
themselves to Us. We leave the mat
ter for the cogitalions of those inter
rsted in it, and would like to bea

FIenz Iellef is al enthusiast in the

liquor ammonia, on account of its
:apid vOlililiZatIon, would be the
remedy most readily absorbed, and
the most prompt in action. In almost
tee same moment il which be took
onc drop, diluted with water, be felt
complete relief from bis pain, which
had lasted for ten hours he was now
able to move freely the arm which
an instant before, he could scarcely
bear TO have touched. The remedy,
he claims, has proved a positive cnre
ia all recent cases Of muscular rhcu-
ma,ism which have fallen under his
observation; be cites numerous cases
! in which relief, as instantaneous as
his own, was experienced. lie also
observed it's effects in several cases Of
acute arlicular rheumatism, in two Of
which six drops sulliced to subdue
the pain and swelling within period
Of twenty-four bours. la one case OF
chronic rheumatism Of finger joint,
which had lasted over half year, the
simple administration Of the amm onia
completely dispelled the inflammation
aud pain within two days. He then
discussed the mode of action of his
remedy. "lf we consider an excess
sive acidity as the cause of rheuma-
tism, we can scarcely claim, in the
cases in which one drop will instantly
relieve the pain in recent rheumatism,
that one drop was sufficient to coun-
teract the effects Of the excess of uric
or according to Fuller) Tactic acid.
Nothing remains, therefore, but for
US to seek the source Of rheumatism
in a morbid nervous activity, induced
disturbances Of nutrition, and to
believe that the ammonia acts as a
nervine directly upon the nerves"
After the cure of one attack of rheu-
ma,ism our object should be to put
the patient in such a condition as to
prevent the recurrence. This. the
writer thinks, can be done by building
up the general system, and thus
diminishing the nervous cAcitabilily.

SUMMARY OF THIS MORNINGS
DISPATCHES.

In regard to ex-Speaker Blaine's i'll
ness Gen. Garfield. who was among
the first persons to call on him Sunday
wnen he was i'll, remarked to physi-
clans who were consulting on his case
" Gentlemen. you can call it what you
please, but it is case of assassina-
ton" Last accounts from Washing
ton state that Blaine rests well, eats
heartily, and is rapidly recovering, or,
as his physicians say the eutire
symptoms indicate an early ard CON-
plete recovery.
Speaker Kerr is more comfortable,
and is able to sit up in bed.
The United States House Of Repre-
sentatives passed joint resolution to
modify the treaty with China SO rs to
restrict immigration.
The United States Senate has ad-
journed over to Thursday, 50 many
Senators being absent at Cincinnati
that it was difficult to procure a
quorum.
The Clymer investigating committee
has made a unanimous report on the
charges against Speaker Kerr, fully ex
GENERATING him from the allegations
made. After the prese ntation OF the
report many Republicans spoke favor
ably of Kerr.
Near Springfield, Tenn. yesterday
four white men and one colored man
were struck by lightning and instantly
killed.
There are many specuhtions upon
the Cincinnati Convention; but, as yet,
no definite intelligence has been re-
ceived as to how ballots will result.

TIE SILVER BILLS.

Two bills relating to silver coin and
coinage passed the House last Satur-
day. One, introduced by Payne,
authorizes the Secretary of the Treas
ury to issue $4,000, 900 in silver coin
in exchange for an equal amount of
legal tender notes; the notes so received
TO be kept ia special fund, and be
issued only on the retirement and
destruction of like amount of fraction
al currency. The other. introduced by
Randall, provides that in addition to
'the amount of subsidiary coin author
lied to be issued in redemption of
fractional currency, it shall be lawful
to coin at the minis and issue through
the Treasury and its several offices such
coin to the amount of $40. 600, 900, the
bullion for the purpose to be purchased
from time to time at the market rates
by the Secretary of the Treasury with
any money not otherwise appropriated.
The bill provides that trade dollars
shall not hereafter be legal tender,
and the Secretary of the Treasury is
authorized to limit their coinage to
such an amount as he may deem suffi-
cient to meet the export demand for
the same.

OLD BEN AFTER BLAINE.

While the Congressional investiga-
ting committees have no difficulty
whatever in discovering that the Gov
eminent has been robbed, and that
officials in high places have been
guilty of Irregularities, they find 1t
up hill work to convict the thieves
Owing to the uninterrupted sway of
Grantism in the last eight years, the
guilty parties had ample opportunity
to cover up their tracks. and as their
confederates in crime were of the
, same political stripe, they are un-
willing witnesses. This has been par
tieularly noticeable in the case of
Robson and others, and were it not
for jealousies within the party. grow
ing out of the candidacy for the Presi
dency, it is not likely Blaine would
ever be investigated In the recent
charges against the ex-Speaker, it has
been mystery to many where the
witnesses were discovered to prolong
the investigation. This mystery has
now been solved by the discovery that
Ben Butler, is the great instigator
OF the investigation. He is said to be
the person VINO put the committee on
the track of Mulligan and the letters
which have created such a sensation.
He has known of their existence for
years. and his application of the
" Heather Chinee poetry to Blaine is
said to have been inspired by read
ing them. Batter, who is an unre-
lenting enemy of Blaine, is said to
have another blow in reserve for him in
the event of his recovery from the
combined effects of his own letters and
the heat of the sun

THE Carson Tribune says the
selection of the Republican delegates
from Nevada to the National Conven-
ton was put up job, and that the
delegates are not the choice of the peo-
pie. The Tribune might have added
that putting up jobs is the main forte
of the Republican party, not only in
Nevada, but throughout the Union.

Dissatisfied Sheridans.


Dissatisfied stockholders of the Phil
Sheridan Mining Company met in the
City Hall last night. The move does
not appear to DO a popular one. only

principal reasons for the meeting was,
as stated by Parson, who called the
meeting, that no work had been done
on the mine since November last, aud
that the company had purchased con-
fiictipg title for $4,000, for which an
assessment of rs cents was levied.
