History Reueats Itse.f.

The denunciation of lecherous bond
holders and all hard money men Is not
a new thing under the sun. A hun
,Ired years ago, when the old Centen-
nial money began to depreclate in val
nc. every effort was made to bolster it
up. Attempts were made to drive
hard money out of circulation and
those who refus d the paper were de-
nounced III unmeasured terms. The
rag money men even went so tar as
TO punish men who thus refused. A
letter in the Philadelphia Pocket, 100
years ago this very summer, gives the
following account of the way in which
one of the "gold bugs" was treated III

"Last week, two transgressorS who
sold rum for more than the regulated
price, were publicly cried through the

Horse Distemper, or Epizootic.

read statement in the Chronicle o.
Dec. 24,h, taken from the Chico Record
that Mr., Cone of Tehama county had los
$4,000 worth of mules and horses from
glanders, which / am quite positive is /
mistake. There never has been one hun
dred cases of glanders in California
Chambers is disease that has two origins
The first is, horse may have farcy and
sores break out on the legs, generally one
at time. The horse bites the sore, gets
the matter into his nostrils, snuffs it into
the glands and inocuates the disease into
the head and glands. Local treatment
being impossible, the disease goes on for
months, and maybe for years, before he
dies from it, and the only way that other
horses can take it from him is from get
ting the matter off the stalls or fence OF
from smelling the diseased horse, thus
becoming inoculated. Distemper or epi-
zootic has two forms: One form only af-
tects the head and glands, is very con.
tagious, and often fatal. The other at
tacks the whole system, is not SO conta-
gious nor so fatal, aud seldom produces
death until the limbs become swollen and
break out with sores, and has much the
same appearance as glanders. This is
the disease Mr. Cones animals have, and
it is raging to some extent all through
the Sacramento Valley. The Tide Land
and Reclamation Company at Union
Island have had the disease among their
horses, and many veternaries and horse
men pronounce it glanders. They had
lost many, and several have been killed
to stop the disease from spreading. The
President, General Thomas II. Williams,
called on horseman of practical expert
ence, who at once pronounced it distem-
per- whereupon the General commenced
treating the disease for distemper, and
out OF several hundred horses that have
had it he has lost only few, and the
balance have got we'll. This is conclu-
sive proof that the disease is not glanders,
as that disease is incurable, and no horse
has ever been cured that had it. All
horsemen agree that it cannot be cured
| hope you will lay this much-needed
information before the public and oblige
all owners Of horses.-Horss Owner, sn
s. II. Chronicle.

A Little Temperance Story.

There was, however, q little queer feel
;Og among many of tho Exchanges COM
n,i,teemen. The arrangements for the
,rip were under the charge OF a sub-com-
mittee, consisting of Clement A, Griscom,
William NJ. Baugh, William Brockie, aud
Thsoior Justice, these being actively
.ssisted by Stephen N. Winslow, Chair
nan uf the General Committee, and the
Secretary, George G.. Pierre. Some time
before the steamer started there was put
aboard by members of the committee one
basket OF champagne, case of brandy
and a case of whisky. Subsequently
there were added to this two baskets of
SBlue Seal" paid for by three or four
oeptIenen. This stock of liquor was
laid in in consequence Of an iutimation
received from Attorney General Dsvens
that something to drink upon river ex-
cursion was thing not to be despised.
Mrs. Hayes, also, ON the previous evening,
at the Union League reception, stated
this upon the best Of authority when
the question was asked her whether or
NOT she would object to having liquor
aboard the steamer, that while she did
not care to have it in her own house, still
she could not dictate to Others I; for"
said the first lady of the land, "it would
be neither decoruus nor proper for me to
interfere ON such an occasion" So the
LIQUOR was brought aboard, but it did not
remain aboard. Without the shadow
of authority" said u prominent commit
teenlau, in indignant tones, Theodore
Justice and Christian j. Hoffman seized
the cases of liquor and the baskets of
wine, quietly ordered a darkey to place
them in wheelbarrow and return them
to Joseph f. Tobias store, on Front
street, and the excursionists were periVrce
a temperance crowd--so thought Messrs.
Justice and Hoffman. There was only
one private flask in the party. 1t was
not private long. Then the committee.
men began growing. "We will cut
their combs when we meet" said they.
The steamer had turned about and YVES

and cannonadiug was still going on.

Winslow, and the vessel went on. Down
at the navy yard there was heavy firing
and marines drawn up in line, and about
here the clouds, that had been all the
morning threatening wetting, opened
enough to let broiling sun glare through.
"My tongue is hanging out" said Gen.
Patterson. $50 say we ali of u.s." ssid

ricane deck with his overcoat on. Mrs,
Hayes was In the saloon beneath. The
steamer stopped long enough at the new
drawbridge above Girard Point, at the
mouth of the Schuylkill, to put ashore
by force lame chap who distributed
tracts and collected $50 from the ladies
on the boat, Mrs, Hayes putting 80 in his
pocket. Philadelphia Times.

SAND FOR BEDprNa.-A correspondent
of the New England Farmer advocates
the use of dry sand for bedding horses
and cattle. He thinks that it is the
ceanest substance which can be used,
and it is of great mechanical advantage
in dividing tie manure. Horses and cat
tie tramp upon it and in that way cause
it to cut up the manure. Spread under
hen roosts it acts to keep the floor clean,
and makes the manure easy to handle
Then manure mixed with sand can be
kept in boxes and barrels without giving
of any unpleasant odors. 1t is an excel
lent compound TO use for manuring in
the hill, aud is the very best substance
to put in fower-pots or in beds where
hardy plants are grown. A mixture Of
sand aud muck is greatly superior tc
muck alone for bedding purposes, as the
sand will divide the muck and thorough,
ly mix in with the manure. Any manure
ia which sand is mixed is easy to handle,
and may be spread with uniformity.

APPLYING THE SERMON The Rev
Mr. --, of the Unitarian Church in a
neighboring State, preached sermon a
few Sundays since on the importance Of
saying "No," and in the course of il
dwelt impressively on the moral courage
required to use that monysyllable at the
right time. After the sermon colec-
tion was taken for very deserving char
ity. When the congregation was dis.
missed, a certain newspaper man way
laid the pastor in the vestibule, and
seizing him by the hand thanked him eff
fusively for the sermon--one of the most
effective he had heard. The pastor mod
estly replied: "Im glad you think so,
but cannot see why you should"
why" replied he of the newspaper,
"when | went into church was fully de-
termined to give five dollars tothat char
ity, but your sermon impressed me so

Stewards Hotel.

Thus far there has not been any tu-
multuous rush for admission to the Wo.
mans Hotel. Not to put too fine point
on it, as Guppy used 10 say Gf 1t wasn't
Guppy perhaps you can supply the right
name), there is no rush at all; but, on
the contrary, quite the reverse. The
building can accommodate about one
thousand. 1t is now accommodating
about fifty. Possibly it will do better
some day, but the women who ought to
go there are so backward in coming for
ward that both Judge Hilton and Mrs.
Stewart are considerably disappointed.
The two scere and odd ladies who have
availed themselves of the comforts and
Injuries provided there are quite enthu-
Siastic in its praise, but their commenda-
.tisn does not induce others to join in.
Architecturally speaking, most Of these
ladies are not success. In passing the
hotel the other day, noticed some Of
them going in and out, and it struck me
quite torcibly that they were not built
on a good plan. There was too much
gothic style about them, and most of 1t
ran to points and sharp corners. A wo-
man in whose general design there is
preponderance of angles, is, esthetically,
q failure, whatever she may be intellectu-
ally. There is NO doubt at all about the
intellectual quality Of the ladies who
have taken up their abode in the Women's
Hotel, but when you come down to Ho-
garth's lne.of beauty, the curve, 'tain't
there. One lady who spent week in
the hotel says there is no trouble about
seeing gentlemen in the parlors in the
evening, and intimates that facilities for
courting are just as good AZ 10 any board.

OF material to practice on seems TO be
rather scarce. doubt if there is the
slightest danger CT matrimony making
the least inroad on the population OF the
hotel in the next five years. M r

Costly Correspondence.

The jury in the case of Edgerly against
Smith returned verdict for the plaintiff
yesterday for $4,000 damages. The cause
of action was an alleged libelous state
ment contained in letters written by Mrs.
Smith concerning the plaintiff, who is u
resident of Boston. Ii would be well for
letter writer's to understand that when
they write Injurious words about Others
they are liable to be sued for damages.
1t is not necessary that lbelpus letter
should be read by more than one person !;
the injury is the same in the eye of the law,
as if it was published in the columns OF
newspaper having circulation of u
million copies. The trouble in this case
had its origin in little family quarrel.
Sally Edgerly, daughter of the plaintiff,
is cousin of Mr.. Joseph f. Smith, the
defendant and lived in his family for
ten years. She left quite suddenly and
got married, leaving behind trunk con-
tanning new sacque, to which article OF
dress she was dovotedly attached. There
WAS some delay in forwarding the trunk
10 her new house in Jerseyvile, and Mrs.
Smith claimed the sacque because she had
purchased the material Of which it was
made. The loss of her favorte sacque
made Sally very angry, and she wrote
spiteful letter to Mrs. Smith, and told a
Mrs. Mitchell something that was not
omplimentary to Mrs. S. Thereupon
Mrs. Smith became indignant, and wrote
some letters derogatory to the character
of Sally's mother, the plaintiff herein.
This and other letters fell into the hands
Of Mrs. Edgerly, living near Bunker Hill
Monument, and she vowed vengeance
upon the whole Smith family. She Sc.
lected Mr.. VIM. F. Smith, attorney, as her
counsel, and he instituted four libel suits
against the Smiths, based on the letters.
The third of these suits was tried yester.
day, with the result above named. Col.
Slayback defended the Smiths with his
usual vim, but his opponent was foeman
worthy of his steel, aud the case for the
plaintiff was 80 clearly and forcibly pre-
sented that the jury gave verdict for 4
pretty round sum, although much larger
an cunt was claimed. The instructions
of the Judge were satisfactory to both
sides, and the jury was possessed of more
than average intelligence.--St Louis
Globe Democrat.
