WASHINGTON, August Ia. - There
seems to have been a great misapprehen-
sio1 an the part of the London Times
and Press about this country, as to the
intention of the circular recently Issued
by the state department on the subject of
higamy. The circular simply calls the
attention of the foreign government to
the United States statutes against
bigamy, and TO the fact that religious be-
lief cannot excuse the crime. This gov
eminent has to prevent the emigration of
Mormons because they believe in the
peculiar tenets of that faith, but only
when there is completed an offense
against the law of 1862, which is directed
against bigamy. The comfy of nations
requires that every power shan enforce
its laws to the utmost TO, prevent emigrar

CRIME against the laws of friendly

CORNs IN horse are different from
those on the skin of human being.
They are first produced by blows or
bruises, which start Inflammation and
formation of matter under the sole, or
cause a deposit of horny matter
which presses painfully upon the SEN
sitive inner parts of the foot. They
are frequent in fat-hooted horses, the
frogs of whose feet have been pared
away so as to bring the sole to the
ground and subject it to continued
bruises from stones. The usual mode
of shooting is one that protects the
tender spots on the sole from blows
in travelling. This is toput shoe of
sole leather under the iron shoe and
stuff under the leather with tow, SOAK
ed in glycerine, to keep the sole cool
and moist. If the sole is very tender
the feet should he prepared for shoe
ing by keeping them upon a puddle
of wet clay for few days, and by fre-
quent dressing of cold water, and by
giving the horse cool ing medicine
