Tho Washington correspondent o

follows:
Meeting General Chalmers in the
cafe Of the Riggs House, and finding
him in a pleasant and communicative
mood, yosr correspondent expressed to
him desire to have his views Oh some
subj jssts Of absorbing interest at this
tims. He very candidly answered the
q ucstions propounded. The interview
opened with a reference to bis episode
~ith Congsr the day before, and Gen.
Chalmers said:
"When Mr.. Conger asked me the
question whish drew forth my remarks
about the Court fool lie did it in an in.
sulting manner, and had to answer
him as l did. l am always prepared
to answer civil questions, and the
gentleman from Michigan drew it on
himself"
Correspondent--"General, what is
yeur opinion Of Tilden as the nominee
Of the Democratic party in 1880, and
and how do the Southern people look
upon it,"
Gen. Chalmers-"It will be tho most
unfortunate thing that that party can
do. Tildsn is not the choice of the
ssutbern people, and they would pre-
fer some other and stronger man.
will tell you why. In my State (Mis-

complete satisfaction afforded by tae

Mrs. Knights portraiture Of "Lisstts'

Of the piece was realistic, and the

Postal Cards.

Many persons do not understand
the law regulating the transmission
of printed matter through the mails
We frequently receive postal cards TO
which are attached, by cumming and
pasting, slips of printed matter, and
the postal agents mark them as re-
quiring additional postage, and prob
ably many others are deposited which
are never forwarded. The languages
of the rules is very explicit:
'No card is postal card except
such as are used By the Pestoi flee
Department. An ordinary printed
business card may be sent through
the mails when prepaid By / cent
postage stamp attached but such
cards must contain absolutely no
written matter except the address
otherwise it will be treated as not
full prepaid and refused admission in
TO the malls"
In using postal cards be careful not
to write or have anything printed on
the side to be used for the address
except the address; also be careful
not to past, gun or attach anything
to them except On address They
are unmailsble a. postal cards when

a New Theory About Food.

A German physician has started q
Eew theory with regard to food. He
maintains that both the vegetarian
and the meat eaters are on the wrong
track. Vegetables are not any more
Wholesome than meat, nor meat than
vegetables, and nothing is gained by
consuming pound of both. What
ever Dutriiive qualities they may pos
sess, be says, are destroyed in great
measure, and often entirely, by the
process of cooking. All food should
be eaten raw. II this practice were
adopted there would be little or no
illness in the human family. They
would live their appor,ioned time
and simply fade away, like animals
in wild state, from cid age Let
those afflicted with gout, rheumatism
and indigestion, try for time the
effect of simple, uncooked diet, such
as oysters and fruit for instance, and
they will find all medicine unneces-
sary and such rapid Improvement
of their health that they will for
swear all cooked articles Of food at
once and forever. Iniemperance
would also, it is urged, no longer be
the curse of civilized communities.
The yearning for drink is caused by
unnatural abstraction from what are
termed "solids" of the aqueous ele-
ment they contain-uncoOked beef,
for example. containing from 10 to so
per cent and some vegetables even
a larger proportion ct wafer There
would be less thirst, ard consequent
ly less desire TO drink, if cur fool
were consumed in i.s natural state,
without being first subjected to the
actions Of FIRE.

Controlling yicsous Horses.

A new and very simple method Of
training vicious horses was exhibited
in West Philadelphia recently, and
the manner in which some of the
widest horses were subdued was as
tonishiog. The first trial was that
eta kicking or "bucking" mare, which
her owner said had allowed no rider
on her back for period of at least
i've wears. She became tame and
gentle in about as many minutes, and
allowed herself to be ridden about
without sign Of her former wildness.
The means by which he result was
accomplished consisted of piece of
light rope, which was passed around
the front jaw Of the mare, just above
the upper teeth, crossed in her mouth
aud thence secured back Of her neck
IL was claimed that no horse will
kick or jump when thus secured, and
that 'buckiDg' horse, after receiving
the treatment few times, will aban-
don his vicious way forever A very
simple method was also shown by
which kicking horse could be shod.
1t consisted in connecting the ami
mails head and tail by means of q
rope fastened to the tail and then to
the bit, and drawn tightly enough to
incline the horses head to one side.
This, it is claimed, makes it absolute
ly impossible for the horse to kick on
the side of the rope AT the same
exhibition, a horse, which for many
years bad to be bound on the ground
to be shod, suffered the blacksmith to
operate on him without attempting to
kick while secured in the manner de-
scribed.
