TREATMENT OF HORSES Prof "

TREATMENT OF HORSES. Prof. Was-
ner, in writing upon this subject says
"Many think they are doing finely, and
are proud of their success in horse train
ing, by means of severe whipping, or
otherwise arousing and stimulating the
passions, and then crushing the will
through which the resistance is prompted.
No mistake can be greater than this, and
there is nothing that fully exhibits the
ability, Judgment and skill of the real
horseman, as the care displayed in win
ming instead of repelling the action of the
mind. Although it may be necessary to
use the whip sometimes, it should always
be applied judieiously. and great care
should be taken not to arouse the pas
slons or excite the will to obstinacy. The
legitimate and proper use of the whip
Is calculated 10 operate from the sense Of
fear entirely. The atfectionate and bet
ter nature must be appealed to in train
ing horse as well as in training a child.
y reproof given may be intended for the
good OF the child, but if only the passions
are excited, the object is depraving and
injurious This is vital principle, and
can be disregarded in the management Of
sensitive and courageous horses at the
risk OF spelling them. | have known
many horses OF natural gentle character
to be spoiled by whipping once, and one
horse that was made vicious by being
struck with whip once while standing
in his stall.

WASTE NO TIME.-Time lost can never
be regained. After allowing yourself
proper time to rest, don't live an hour of
your life without doing exactly what is to
be done in it and going straight through
with it from beginning to end. What
ever it is take hold of it at once, and fin
ish it up squarely, and then the next
thing without moment dropped out be-
tween. 1t is wonderful to see how many
hours prompt people make out of day !;
it is as if they picked up the moments the
dawdlers lost If you ever find yourself
where sou have SO many things pressed
on you that you hardly know where to be-
gin, let me tell you secret. Take hold
of the first one that comes to hand, and
you will find the rest Will all fall into file,
and follow after like company of we'll
drilled soldiers, and though work may be
hard to meet when it challenges you in
squad, it is easily vanquished if you can
bring it into line

THE JEW is Z miracle among the ma
tiOns A wanderer III all lands, he has
been a witness of the great events of his
tory for more than eighteen hundred years
He saw classic Greece when crowned with
intellectual trimphs. He fingered among
that broken but beautiful architecture
that rises like tombstone over the grace
of her departed splendor. The Jew saw
Rome, the "mighty heart of nations,
sending its ceaseless lifc's throb through
all the arteries of its vast empire. He,
too, has seen that heart cold and still III
death. These have perished, yet the
Jew live on-the same silent, mysteri-
Gus, indistructible being The shadow of
the Crescent rests on Palestine, the signet
of a cOnaueror's faith-still the jew and
his religion survive. He wanders Il cap
tive in the streets of his once queenly Jc-
rusalem, to mediate sad and gloonllly on
the relics of ancient power. Above him
shines the clear sky, fair as when it
looked down on the towers Of Zion; hut
now, alas beholds only . desolate city
and an unhappy land. The world is his
home. The literature of the ancient He
brew triumphs over all creeds and schools,
and sects. Mankind worship in the sa-
cred songs of David, and bow to the di-
vine teachings Of Jesus of Nazareth, who
also was son of Abraham Such is the
Jew. His ancient dreams of empire are
gone. How seldom do VIC realize, Us VIC
see him in our city streets, that he is the
creature of such a strange, peculiar des-
tiny. Neither age nor country, nor eli
mate, have changed him. Such is the
Jew, a strange and solitary being, and
such the drama of his long and cycntful
history. Pen aad Plow.

BRrrrsH GRAIN M,RKET. The London
MARI Lane Eypress, under date Of Septem-
her 18th. saws: a week of dali and windy
weather. with comparatively little ram. has
enabled the greater portion OF the English
wheat crop to be secured. and the cutting of
harley and oats to be carried on under more
favorable conditions than has appeared like
". Threshing has been going on rapidly,
but the exceedingly inferior quality and con-
dition of the bulk Of samples marketed has
giyen clear proof, were any required, OF the
disastrous effect of the recent heavy rains
upon the grain crops In Scotland much OF
the hay crop has been irretrievably ruined
by the rain, while reaping Is only general IN
the most favored districts Potatoes and
good deal of unripe grain have been damaged
by frost. The harvest III the north Is pre-
cariously late. A good crop of straw Will
probably be secured, and this Is a matter OF
considerable consequence to stock farmers,
rs much of their hay Is lost. Reports re-
garding potatoes are less reassuringJ The
grain trade still preserves sufficient steadi-
ness. but is quite devoid of eycIternent at
present. However, it is hardly time to eN-
pect much in the way Of speculation, as the
interest of all concerned with the trade IS
centred upon the American crop. and with
. large choice of good Russian wheat now IN
warehouse at their command, millers have
purchased only in snch quantities as their
paeds Justify No Gstlessness or depression,
however, is observed, although the average
price of English wheat has been declining
during the past few weeks. as this has been
the result rather 0f the inferior quality and
condition of the new crop than any want OF
confidence on the part of settlers Imports
Of wheat into London are now beginning to
show some falling of, but the supply Will
not decrease materially for some time to
come, as the turning point appears to have
been reached where the action OF Russia Will
wane and that of America wax stronger.
The few arrivals OF new American winter
wheat which have reached us have been OF
excellent quality and in perfect condition,
millers have purchased freely at 81 to OBS
per quarter, ex ship. Inquiries are now be-
ing made for spring wheat. and buyers are
anxious for the first arrivals, SO that they
may form their own opinions concerning the
crop.

BURNED FOR ADULTERY. - The Reno
Journal tells the sad fate of a squaw NAM
ed Mary, who left her husband, San, to
live with brave named Jim. About tif
ty Piutes, including several squaws, es-
corted her to the hills just back of Wash
hoe Lake, where, safe from Caucasian in
trusion, they made huge pile of sage
brush, and after tying her firmly in the
midst of it, set it on fire. Then they
commenced a war dance around the scene
of cremation in which all joined except
Jim-Sam being fierce in his leaps and
yells The screams of Mary added to the
zest Of the dance Jim meantime sat
quietly by and seemed an Indifferent spec
tator to what was going on. When the
body of the unfortunate Mary had been
reduced to ashes Sam expressed himself
as satisfied and they dispersed The war
riors threaten their squaws with similar
fate if they are not little more discreet
in their conduct.

MURDER IN DOUGLAS COUNTY. On
Friday last Mr.. Hellringer shot and kill
ed Lewis Jones, near the forks Of the
Umpqua River in Douglas county. They
were neighboring farmers and had been
to Eoseburg on business and returned 10
their homes together the following morn
ing Subsequently Jones went over to
the Hellringer farm when the shooting
occurred and as there WAS no witnesses of
the difficulty, the homicide bears some
what mysterious character Hellringer
immediately proceeded to Roseburg and
surrended himself To the authorities, stat
ing that he had SHOT and killed his neigh
Dor Jones and was compelled to do So in
self-defense. Justice Slocm summoned
a Jury To hold an inquest on the body
and repaired without loss Of time to the
scene of the murder when the following
facts were elected. The deceased Jones
was lying close beside Hellringer's wagon
near the barn. with Henry rifle in close
proximity The wespon had an empty
cartridge in the barrel indicating that it
had been recently exploded The only
explanation gwen was 10 the effect that
the deceased had threatened the life of
his slayer The jury returned Il verdict
that Jones came to his death on the l4th
OF September, 1871, by g,n-shot through
the head, and that the gun was held in
the hands of MIR. Hellringer when fired,

THE RUSSIAN GRAIN TRADE.-The Ga
zette de st. Petersburg gives the follow
ins details of the conference lately sum-
moned by the Russian government forthe
purpose of considering, first, the quantity
Of cereals which Russia on an average
year would be able to export second, the
mode in which that export could be ef-
fected ROW that the southern ports have
been blockaded, and also in the event of
the blockade extending TO all the ports of
the empire. The conference was attend
ed by delegations from the chief railway
companies, assisted by persons intimately
connected with the gram trade, and from
the proceedings 1t appears that the aver
AGE export OF grain has risen within the
past three years to about 5000, 600
bushels. The shipments from the Black
sea and the sea of Azof. with the except
ion of the ports of kertch and Elish,
amount on an average to about 62, ,0O0,-
900 bushels, and as this year only IL 600
600 bushels were exported, it is caleulat-
ed that about 50,G0G, 600 bushels remain
i'll the southern provinces, to be trans
ported by rail either to the northern ports
or to frontier towns The capacity of the
railway system to overtake this increased
traffic was the subject of much consider
alton by the conference, and ultimately
a table was drawn up showing the number
oftrains which would have to be dispatched
daily on each of the lines, so as to meet
the demands for transport. From this it
appears that if the export is not to be de-
layed the number of trains per day on the
principal lines must be increased from
about 80 TO 100, and it remains to be
seen whether, when the resources of the
companies are SO greatly taxed by the war
traffic, SO much additional work can be
got through

BLUE CHEcKs.-In Ohio, few days ago,
says a correspondent of San Francisco ex-
change, / saw girl in a spank-clean check
ed apron that went around her waist with a
string; the Old-fashiOned sort made of
numberless and undivided checker-boards,
with the little blue aud white squares alter
mating with mathematical precision, The
sight of that apron would have taken you
back to an older wearer of a similar garment
who brought apples from TIE orchard in it,
and white maple chips from the wood pile,
and gathered eggs in it from the hay-mow,
and spread it smoothly and decorously over
her lap when she sat. and her knitting
work reposed in it; and sometimes cat,
marked like her best Sunday comb would
assay a slumberupon its checkered existence
and be whisked off in second. You have
seen that apron flung over its owners head
like knitted cloud" of modern times,
when she went to the next neighbor's. That
apron has wiped away the tears Of your
childish sorrow, when they ran down your
face, and your elamorous tongue ran out at
each corner of your mouth between the
syllables of lamentation, and licked them in!
You saw where she laid them when her
work was done, There is whole system OF
mnemOnics in those blue and white checks.

CAUSES OF IRREGULAR TEETH. The

are either inherited or acquired. 1t often
happens that one parent has a narrow,

while the other has well developed Jaw,
with large broad teeth. \ child Is quite
as apt to inherit the large teeth OF one
parent and the small jaw of the other as
any way. When this occurs lrreS1iarlty

there is from some cause or other a lack
