Strange Horse Disease.

One of the very few remarkable
cases of disease in horses, and of a
nature seldom heard of, came to light
in the Mcdonald camps recently. A
similar case. SO DR.. Frame reports, oc-
cured in Milwaukee brick yard some
years ago, and until the present was
heard Of had been the last known in
Wisconsin. Among the teams recent
ly purchased by the McDonalds was
one we'll adapted to work in tbe::woods
One of the horses when driven to
work the other day gave symptom of
having gone lame. The drive was
kept up until it was noticed that the
animals feet began to turn backward
and upward. Examining the hoofs,
nothing could be found which would
throw any light upon the curious cir
cumstance. A rest caused the boots
to gain natural position, and a return
to camp was ordered. A short dis
lance Was travelled when the horse
agaio gave evidence of lameuess, aud
his hoofs began to curve. In little
while the animal fell to che ground,
aud the hoot turning continued until
the lower portion of the foot and the
hCof suddeoIy became detached and
was completely severed FROM the limb
The hoofs examined disclosed
them to be in an entirely normal con-
dltiou, The horse had to be killed
1t is remarkable case, but is vouched
for as fact by John Mcdonald, who
relates the incident.

gun could not be sufficiently depressed
to play upon the position. A number

pied by them, but with apparently no
effect. Affairs stood thus at dark on

The MODERN IRooUoIs.-Nearly

Nations of Centred and Western New
York are at Forestviile, Wis. We
believe they are mostly Cayugas. The
United States Agent in charge of this
reservation reports that nearly 1900
Of these 5000 can read and write; that
they have twenty-nine day and two
manual labor schools, and that they
cultivate their lands SO diligently thai
they pay all the expenses of their living.
They are not the old Iroquois in spirit
or courage, as adventure; but they ma,
yes play part in civilization quite at
worthy of their lineage as that Of the
warriors who burned and ravished up
and down the Mohawk valley during
che Revolution. One popular delusion
respecting them-that they are dying
sut--has been thoroughly eradicated
from the public mind. If, to those OF
he Six Nations who are on this res
srvstion, we add the Canadian descend
ssts of the confederacy, We have d
number nearly, if not quite, as large as
the total census of the Isoquois at the
time when they were the masters and
soaquerers of the continent.

A CAREFUL reading OF the ac
counts of the late political transac-
tions in Maine in which Governor
Garcelon and his Council have
been the leading actors thus far
shows the following state of facts:
The Governor and his advisers
found upon the statute books,
passed by Legislatures overwhelm-
ingly Republican, certain laws pre-
scrlbIng the formula of returning
members of the Legislature. These
laws have been repeatedly enforced
by Republican officials against
Democrats. In no whit has the
Governor departed from the prac-
tice OF his Republican predecessors.
In carrying out the plain
letter of the law the Governor and
,uncll have impartially rejected
rats and Republicans alike

turns. AS we understand the mat
ter, they were left absolutely with
out any option. Now, when the
Republicans find applied to them
selves machinery which they
have so often complacently seen
directed against Democrats, they
are prompt in raising the shrill
howl to which their lungs are SO
accustomed. We shall read care
fully every new phase of the devel-
opments, with the view of repudi-
ating, as far as in US lies, any ap.
pearance Of Democratic injustice
to Republicans. If Democrats In
Maine have committed any wrong,
the party in the nation at large do
not intend to have any art or part
in it. If their action, on the other
hand, has been right, no amount OF
Republican clamor will prevent
their brethren throughout the
country from upholding them.
Daily Los Angeles herald., 1879-12-24

IT 10 a somewhat amusing phase
OF reform politics that the munich
pal salaries in San Francisco have
already been increased at the rate
of nearly seven thousand dollars a
year. 1t appears from the San
Francisco papers, also, that never
before have there been such throngs
of applicants for office around the
City Hall as since Mayor Kalloch
took charge of the city.government.
The advent of the Workingmen to
power was to do away with job
berry. The vulgar and unpstriotic
crowding after office was to b. a
thing of the past. Under the new
and blessed order of things the Of
fee was to seek the man, not the
man the Office. The reward for po-
litical virtue Of so high an order
was to be found In the proud pulsa-
tions of an approving conscience.
We should bear In mind, however,
that IL the municipal salaries are
going up under the new regime,
half Of these salaries will, accord
ing to the solemn pledge of the can
didates, be turned into the city
treasury. When the checks for
these large sums begin to pour in
upon the treasurer, the people of
San Francisco will think that, after
all, they were not far wrong In
embracing the cause OF reform.
But, should these checks, for some
mysterious reason, be withheld?
All, then-well, then, things would
not present quite SO roseate an as.
pect. The political optimist would
be encountered with very long
face, and he would be compelled to
echo the aphorism of the old negro,
"whits man mighty onsartain."

SENATOR FARLEY, In introduc-
ing bill into the United States
Senate creating a District Court
for the Southern District of Cali
fornia, has commended himself to
the approval of the whole press ol
this section, irrespective of politics.
The Santa Barbara Press says OF
the measure:
The bill of Senator Farley for
the establishment of United
States Judicial District in Southern
California Is a measure of obvious
Importance to the people of South
srn California. The large area oi
this section, the amount and i'm
portance Of its judicial business,
and the delay, expense and annoy
anoe of carrying suits at law five
hundred miles away for adjudica-
tion, make the establishment OF
such tribunal as is proposed ne
csssity both to the people and the
government. The bill ought to be
enacted into law without delay.

President, was also a good listener
to her, but he would laugh at her
the moment she left. She caught
him in it several times, and from
that moment swore vengeance to-
wards him. Old Blue Jeans, how
ever, would listen to her and ad-
wise with her on the claim. He had
a way of getting rid of her by in
PRODUCING her to some other mem
Der, and, while they were talking,
of slipping away.
Another remarka BILE case is that
of the Lady of the Lake-the name
another woman claimant goes by.
She is an Eastern woman, old
maidish in looks, and wears cork
screw curls. Her back Is as straight
as an arrow. Her claim, also, is
largely of an imaginary character.
She has been a regular attendant
for at least ten years. The Lady OF
the Lake seldom speaks to any one,
while Mother Brown Is talking o.
most all the time. From this fact
some know the Lady by the name
of the Woman with the Iron Jaw.
They are great characters in their
way and help to make up the
scenes that make the inside of leg
islation SO interesting to many.
There are two wooden-legged wo-
men, one of whom uses crutches,
who can frequently be seen about
the building, but these will not put
in an appearance until after the
Christmas holidays, as there is q
general understanding that moth
ing will be done In the way of legis.
lation until after then.
DR.. Mary Walker, who Is proba-
bly, better known or more written
about than any other lady in this
country, is also quite a famous
claimant. She has two good ones
that will yield some day. Her big
claim is for services as n surgeon
during the war. Under soma hitch
in the law, although she rendered
the service, being woman, she
could not legally draw the salary.
1t is for this that she makes her
visits to Washington. Her claim
is for $4,000, and it has been passed
by one or the other of the Houses
several times, but never by both
| during the same session. Hell
great friend has always been Gen
Butler, and 1t has been by his ef
forts that she has almost got hel
money on several occasions. Sam
Cox is also strong supporter o.
the little doctor. With Butler anC
Cox in favor of q claim, there are
betting chances In favor of its get
ting through. Although there
may be tremendous opposition to
it, Ben Butler wipes away opposi.
ton with precedent, law and ap-
peals for money, while Cox laughs
it out of existence at the expense
of those who are opposing him.
