A society for the prevention of cruelty
to animals recommends the following rules
for the treatment Of balky horses:
/. Pat the horse upon the neck, exam
inc the harness carefully. nrst on one side
then on the other, speaking encouragingly
while doing SO; then jump into the wagon
and give the word go; generally he will
obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says he can start
the worst balky horse by taking him out
of the shafts and making him 60 round in
q circle. II the first dance of this kind
doesn't cure him, the second one will be
sure to do it.
5. To cure 3 balky horse, simply place
your hand over the horses nose and shut
of the wind till he wants to go, and then
let him go.
4. The brain of horses seem to entertain
but one iGea at time; thus continued
whipping only confirms his stubborn re-
solve; il you can by any means give him
a new subject to think of, you will have
no trouble in starting him. A simple rem
edy is to take : couple of turns of steut
twine around the fore-leg, just below the
knee, and tie in bow-knat. At the first
check he will go dancing of, and, after go

Mr.. Beeeher's Reply to an Inquirins
Correspondent.
The Christian Union publishes the fol-
lowing:
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher.
DEAR SIR: Will you please give in the
columns of the Christian Union your rules
for preserving health? A good many OF
your readers would like to know how it
is that you have been able to go through
so much, and to do so mach, and yet to
retain your vigor and good spirit. We
want the secret Of your own experience.
First. Select good father and mother
to be born from.
Second. Then, being born with a good
body, regard 1t as machine, and keep it
in perfect order by the same methods by
which you would keep any other machine
in order. The body is an engine; food is
the fuel; blood is the steam; the head is
the cylinder where the steam works. One
must not create by too much fuel an ex-
cess of steam; that will strain tile engine
and make poor work. You must not let
the fuel get out and the fire grow low,
then the engine will not work at all. Most
men eat because they are hungry or be-
cause their food tastes good. These are
two respectable facts nevertheless, man
who is working ought to eat rather with
reference to what he has to do, determin-
ing both quality and quantity by that con-
sideratiOn. He should sort his food as an
engineer does his coal and pine wood. If
have to do pretty sharp mornings
work, eat eggs, toasted bread and coffee,
which combine great deal of nourish-
ment with little weight, and are easily
digested. On the yOlks of two boiled
eggs, a slice Of toast, and cup OF coffee,
l can work from eight to two without
break. l do not eat the white OF an egg.
Rice, whites Of eggs and cotton wool are
alike to me. In summer generally make
my breakfast of bread and fruits. The
best breakfast ever ate in my life was in
Venice. We were in an old ducal palace.
which was converted into hotel. II took
more steering to reach the breakfast room
from your chamber than it does to bring a
ship into New York harbOr; but it was a
room when we reached it. Our
breakfast was delicate bit of ham. with
eggs, which we did not care anything for:
but there were white figs, purple and
white grapes and melons, with good cup
Of coffee. breakfasted on such fruits all

ordered him discharged on the ground
that the sentence was unconstitutional, the
punishment being too severe and cruel.

A Faithful MOurner.

Several years ago gentleman living In
Fayette county, Ky, owned yellow dog,
to which he became greatly attached. Tho
gentleman sickened and died and was bur-
led in the cemetery here. The dog fol-
lowed the remains of his master to the
grave, remained at the grave tor several
days and then returned to the city, where
he has stayed ever since. Bulger, for that
is the dogs name, makes daily visits to his
former masters grave, stays few hours
and then returns. lie follows all funeral
professions passing through the city. The
other day, while lying in front Of a store,
he saw funeral cortege going by. In
stantly springing up, he ran out into the
street, to the side OF the hearse, gave three
dismal howls, and took his place in the
procession. Numerous efforts have been
made to entice Bulger to his former home
in the country, but without avail. Every
body knows him; he is never allowed to
suffer for want of food or a place to sleep,
and when he dies he will be decently bur-
led.

Resuscitating Drowned Persons.

At this season of the year, when 50
many persons are drowned, or barely e.
cape drowning, while bathing, the matter
has q special practical interest. DR.. Lam
bert, Of New York, has recently published
a pamphlet, in which he takes the ground
that persons drowned or strangled are, tor
a much longer time than has been sup
posed, in Il condition of merely suspended
animation; and that their vital functions
can be restored by simply heating the body
to degree somewhat above its normal
temperature.
He recommends using sheets or cloths
wrapped around the person, and kept con-
tinually soaked with hot water; or a
warm hath, maintained at about 1lOo F.,
answers the same purpose. He asserts
positively that water does not enter tho
lungs in any quantity sufficient to embar-
rass their action, and that therefore the in
fiation of the lungs with air, in the case Of
persons drowned, is not necessary; also
that recovery can confidently be expected
many hours after the strany,,lation.
Some. remarkable cases of success at
tending this mode Of resuscitation are it,
stanced, and also the well-known fact that
flies and other insects, and dogs, cats and
birds have been drowned, and afterwards
revived by heat alone; and this treatmeit (
has been practiced several times on tho
same subject, without any bad result

The True IuWardness Of the Pension arrears
Bill.

10 the Editor Of the NeacS and
Courier: On the 18th Of January,
Mr.. Hayes approved the "Arrcars Of
Pension BiIl,' thus making it the
law. Every mail since has brought
ne one or more letters from friends IN
Sout;, Carolina expressing gratihca
ton at this fact: aud inquirlag how
the writer should proceed to secure
bis (cr herr back pay, for he Cor shc)
pensioner, had been il the Seminole,
Black Hawk, Mexican or some
other war, with which the 'Arrear
bill" had nothing to do. Before this
reaches you their hopes will have been
blasted, but II may not be aaliss to
publish few thoughts upon the SUBJ
ject of pensions, as our people at the
South are morbidly sanguine that the
present Congress will give many of
them material relief by passing pen
sion laws, which will apply 10 South
ern as we'll as Northern soldiers who
were 10 wars anterior to 1861.
In 1871 & think) pension law
vas enacted granting a pension to
every soldier who had been disabled,
Cor his representative if he had been
killed. Sin the war wsged for the sup
preston Of the rebellion" Of course
this meant only Federal soldiers. The
day Of payment of the pension was
to date from the passage Of the law,
and ali soldiers who did not within
five years from that date apply for a
pension we're to be debarred.
The "Arrears of Pension Bilp'
amepds that law so IS to date the day Of
payment back to the day Of the death
or wounding Of the soldier, and re-
uoves the FIVE years restriction. So,
if a soldier was wounded at the first
battle of Manassas and is drawing but
IS a month, this bill gives him ad.
ditional pay of nearly $1,000 in the
aggregate. There are over 100000 of
these pensioners, and their number
will now be greatly increased by the
removal of the five years restriction
and this Jumping of to them of teu
years pay at ore payment.
No one estimates that it vii! require
less that s30,000.000 to pay these
arrearagcs, and some say it will re
ouire alI cF sI00, ,000,0U0. The Only
obstruction nov in the way is the
passage cf bill to appropriate n!onuy
to meet the demands CT this arrears

pedimert ofany consequence, you may
