rms is true Of all kinds of business in
which the two classes come in contact
The employer who has no other interest in

their strength will permit them to do, will
soon ind that his employees will become
equally as selfish, and not only the least
possible amount of labor that will prevent

ever they speak of the affairs of their en-
ployer, they don't speak of them as if he
was wholly responsible, and that they had
no responsibility whatever, but their lam

HENDRICKS ON THE oLD.r1ME MILLER

~.
The Millers' National Convention was
held in indianapolis last week, and nm,
Thursday the delegates went on an excur.
sion. A welcoming speech was made n.
them by Ex-Governor Hendricks. and
among other things, he said: GAS bow
L was acquainted with the miller, and I
thought him great man. When he raised,
the gate with such corHpssure and conf.
dence, and the tumbling waters drove the
machinery ahead, | admired his power
And then he talked strongly upon all ques.
tlons: lie was very positive upon politics,
religion, law aud mechanics, and any one
bold enough to dispute a point was very
hkeiy to have q personal argument thrown
into his face, for he knew all the gossip
among his customers. [Laughter.i He:
was cheerful. l thought it was because he
was always in the music of the running
water and the whirling wheels. He was
KIND and clever-indeed, so much 20 that
he would promise the grists before thew
could be ready, [laughterl and so the. bows
had to go two or three times. He was n
chancellor, and prescribed the law. Every
one in his turn. The miller, standing in
the door Of his mill, all white with the dust.
IS picture ever upon the memory of even
this generation. 1t is picture of man
iy figure. l wonder if you, gentlemen, tho
lords of many runs and bolts, are ashamed
to own him as your predecessor. 1t was a
small mill, sometimes upon "a willowy brook,
and somctims upon the larger river, but it
stood on the advanced line of the settle
ment, with it's one wheel to grind the In.
dian corn, and one for wheat and in tho
fall and winter s,ason one day in the week
set apart for grinding buckwheat. 1t did
the work of the neighborhood. Plain and
unpretentious, as compared with your stately
structures. L would not say it contributed
less toward the development of ths country
and the permanent establishment of socie-
ty. So great favor it was, and SO impor
tant to the public welfare, that the authori-
ties that day invoked in its favor the high.
est power of the State-eminent domain.
That mill and miller had to 90 before you
and yours, and I am happy to revive the
memory of the miller at the custom mills,
who, with equal care adjusted the sack up
on the horse for the boy to ride upon, and
his logic in support of his theory in poll
tics or his dogma in religion"

THE EARTHQUAKES OF FIFTEEN CEN
TURIEs.---Minister Bingham has sent
from Japan very interesting paper, by a
native savant, q the earthquakes that have
occurred in that country during the past
fifteen hundred years. The number of
destructive earthquakes recorded is 149-
The ninth century was most prolific in these,
reaching twenty-eight in the fifteenth cen
tury there were fifteen; the same in the
seventeenth; thirteen in the eighteenth,
and sixteen in the present century. The
recorded average is one great earthquake
every ten years, but the nineteenth century
gives one every Eve years. Unusually high
temperature aud STRANGE atmospheric chan
ges have been noticed as precursors % great
commissions, especially in the earthquake
which desolated the city of Yeddo in 1855.

A TORNADO IN CANToN-A letter re.
celved lately from an American resilient of
Canton, China, gives an account of the
great destruction of life and property caused
there by a tornado on the 11th of ApriI.-
1t swept over the city in q north. easterly
direction, leaving ruin along its track, and
it is estimated that 5000 or 5000 houses
were blown down and as many persons
killed.
The Island of Shameen, where the for
eisn merchants reside, was visited DIV tn:
gale. which caused great damage to several
of their fine dwellings, and blew completely
down three large business houses, besides
uprooting and twisting into strange shapes
about rwo hundred trees. Not one foreign
resident there or in the city was killed, al.
though several had very narrow escapes, or
were slightly injured One of the mission
airy school buildings fell down upon its in
habitants, who were all taken out alive with
out serious injuries.
Tho other buildings belonging to the
different missions were only little damaged,
and not one of the Christian nstiyes was
killed. a
The storm began as an ordinary one, with
thunder, lightning and hail, then cloudy
column was seen rapidly advancing, accom-
panied by rumbling sound, and its fearful
work was done in less than ten minutes.
Fires broke out in several plaoos, for the
wind scattered the burning wood and Goals
as it tore down the dwellings, and tho streets
where the full power Of the storm was felt
were filled with the dead and dying.
The Chinese authorities were prompt and
active in their efforts to restore order as far
as possible, but while the ruins yet lay on
every side flood came down upon Canton
from the breaking of dyke fifty miles
above the city, and increasd the distress of
the people by filling the streets with water

DEATH FnoM onnNDane,

In neighborhood in Bullitt county, Ky..
about four miles from Shepherdsville, CLAN
ders has recently prevailed among the horses
in very violent and fatal form Some three
years ago MIR. VIM. A. Nally, for many
years we'll known citizen and business
man of Louisville, purchased farm near
Shepherdsville, removing to it with his
family. Recently, all of his horses we're
attacked. by glanders, disease of the mu-
cous membrane, and usually very fatal in
animals, and, when the death of one of
them occurred, deemed it best in order to
prevent the spread of the disease, to burn
the animal. -
While engaged at this it is supposed the
virus from the dead horse was communi-
Gated to sore on Mr.. Nally's hand. In
tamation of very violent character rapidly
superyened, and following this came rapid
gxl&ynxu4nRe q few days illness Mr..
Naily died, on Thursday last, 23d instant.
His sufferings were intense, and all the
symptoms were exactly the same as those
developed in the dead horse during its i'll
ness. There were the same usual elections,
of most offensive smell the same choking
10 the throat. as in the case of tho horse
MIR. Nally's feet and legs had to be band
aged to prevent their falling off from NOR
tifcation, such was the virulence of the
gangrene. Aftcr.Mr Nally's death all the
horses on the farm, five in number, were
shot by order of the physician, in order to
prevent further spread Of the disease in the
neighborhood, where there was great ex-
citement.
The News reporter has known of cases
of glanders in men communicated directly
from an infected horse by inhaling the.
breath of the animal, and where there was
no communication with the body either be-
fore or after death. Two deaths of this
character occurred only recently about
twelve miles from the city. 1t is ALWAYS
the safest plan in glanders to either kill the
affected animal or separate it entirely from
all contact with other animals o. men,
Any communication with glandered horse
by other horses is sure to spread the fatal
infection.-LouisOille Euening News

BABY's INFLUENoE.-No man who has
not tried it understands how restful it is to
play with tho baby. In the civilization of
our time one Of the commonest wants is
something to beguile the time Of one set of
men, or while away the cares of another
set, from cares Of business Of politics or
whatever the ordinary work. may be. To
this numerous class, incldding both the
wcaried and tho bored, We say, "play with
the baby" Not the baby in arms, but tho
young animal man when it has arrived at
the age which in its life matches tho time
when the puppy gambols foolishly or tho
kitten plays with its tail. Who can tell
how much we miss by not knowing how to
"play with the baby2" We arc always
thinking that children ere noisy and rough,
that they make impertinent remarks, aud
leave doors open or bang them. just SO /;
but this is exactly why so much pleasure is
to be got OF Of them, if We try to rise to o
comprehension of their nature and feelings.
It is not their fault if they are disagree
able to us, but our own fault, and misfor-
tune, too, If wo are dull to all the beauty
aud loveliness Of their, charming tricks and
follies. Some unhappy beings never know
real childhood, and they lose great deal
Of innocent pleasure in consequence,

The No FENCE LAw.-Tho travelling
correspondent of the Augusta Chronicle
and Constitutionahst writes as follows con-
cerning the operations of the stock law:
Anderson County, in South Carolina, and
Mecklenburg County, in North Carolina.
having adopted the negative side of the
fence law, are thoroughly testing the plan
1t ,s said that many persons who were yery
active in their orpositionto the measure Sfe
warmest in praise of present and prospec-
tive good results, said to be the natural out
come of the plan. Numbers havs discov.
cred that it is wiser to substitute one good
COW for half dozen inferior ones that the
trouble incident to the restricted range of
the cow referred to is handsomely offset by
q larger quantity of richer milk; that the
amount annually saved by the adoption of
the fence law must largely exceed the most
liberal estimates The elimination of this
item of expense has transformed fields long
abanduned to weeds into attractive oat plats.
One cannot fail to:pote, op WSefy hxhd,,
evidences of the fact that the farmers are
hard at work that they managed wisely
last year, and that they are working sys.
tematically as well as hard this year. There
Is among them a scarcity of money, but
am told that no small number of them have
Hcar, bacon, corn, etc., inquantity in excess
OF their wants. Let the course above men.
toned be more generally adopted South,
and we shall speedily arrive at that point
where confidence is restored and monetary
stringency is removed. Looking out over
the broad aeEes;Qf the South-her rolling
women given to thought must besnraptured
of the grand possibilities of the sunny por-
tion of this great country. Thanks to q
kind Providence, these possibilities are, lit
tie, by little, developing init pfebabilieits
that will by aud by ripen ind INEQUALITIES.
Few men who handle hors give proper
attention to the feet and lcs@ Especially
is this the case on farms. Much time is
spent of morning in rubbAg, brushing,
and smoothing the hair on the sides and
hips; but at no time arc the feet examined
and properly cared for. Npw, belt known
that the feet of horse require more care
than the body. They need ten times as
much, for in one respect they are almost
the entire horse. All the grooming that
can be done won't avail. anything if the
horse is forced to stand where his feet will
be filthy. In this case the feet will become
disordered, and then the legs will get badly
out of fix; and with bad feet and bad legs
there is not much else of the horse fit fol
anything.
