POINTS OF A GOOD HORSE.

"I can't explain what real good horse is, %
said one of the best natured dealers in the
New York market to a writer in Scribner's
Monthly. "They are as different as men. In
buying horse you must look first to his head
and eyes, for sight Of intelligence, temper,
courage and honesty. Unless horse has
brains you can't teach him anything, any
more than you can half: witted child. See
that tall bay -fne-looking animal, hf-
teen hands high. You can't teach that horse
anything. Why? Well, I'll show you diff
ference in heads; but have care of his heels.
Look at the brute's head, that rounding nose,
that tapering forehead, that broad, full place
below the eyes. You can't trust him. Kick
Well, I guess so g! Put him in ten-acre lot,
where he's got plenty of swing, and he'll kick
the horn off the moon"
"That's an awful good mare" he added.
"She's as true as the sun. You can see breadth
and fulness between the ears and eyes. You
couldn't hire that mare to act mean or to hurt
anybody. The eye should be full, and hazel
is good color. I like small, thin ear, and
want horse to throw his ears we'll forward.
Look out for the brute that wants to listen to
all the conversation going on behind him.
The horse that turns back his ears till they al
most meet at the points, take my word for it,
is almost sure to do something wrong See
the straight, elegant face. A horse with
dishing face is cowardly, and cowardly
brute is usually vicious. Then like square
muzzle, with large nostrils to let in plenty OF
air to the lungs. For the underside Of the
head, good horse should be well cut under
the jowl, with jawbone broad and wide apart
under the throttle.
$50 much for the head" he continued.
'The next thing to consider is the build of the
animal. Never buy long-legged, stilty horse.
Let him have short, straight back, and
straight rump, and you've got gentleman's
horse. The withers should be high, and the
shoulders we'll set back and broad; but don't
get them too deep in the chest The fore-leg
should be short. Give me pretty straight
hind leg, with the hook low down, short pas

are all kinds of horses, but the animal that
has these points is almost sure to he slightly,

s@ A DR.. M. M. Griffith, of Bradford, Pa,
reports that he has attained some astonishing
results by the administration of crude petro.
leum to consumptives. In twenty-five cases
of well-marked tuberculosis, he claims that
twenty are cured, so far as any outward signs
of disease are concerned, and the rest have
been materially benefited, none having been
under treatment for more than four months.
The nausea attending the use Of ordinary
petroleum led DR.. Griffith to use the semi
solid oil that forms on the casing and tubing
of wells. This is made into pills Of three to
five grains each by incorporating any inert
vegetable matter, and administered in doses
of one pill each. from three to FIVE times
day. The first effect, be Gays, is the disap-
pearance of the cough, night sweats are reliev-
ed, appetite improves and weight is rapidly
gained. But there have been SO many cure

failed, that it is likely the medical facultyEiR

b@r Theintelligence comes from Washington
that the proposal to put Grant at the head Of
the army, with salary Of fifty thousand dol
lars year, is generally approved by mem:
bers of Congress. So enthusiastic are some of
them in behalf of it that it is proposed to
suspend the rules and press the bill at once,
if possible, and the belief is general that it
would go through by vote in every sense
non.partisan. Everybody takes it as matter
Of course that Grant will be delighted with
this arrangement, and prefer it to any number
of terms as President. He has often spoken
about the sacrifices he made when he gave up
his life position as General of the Army to
become President:

ss The report Of the Philadelphia board Of
steam vessel inspectors, concerning the collis-
ion on the 9TH ultimo between the steamer
Champion and the British ship Lady Octa-
via, declares that the disaster was wholly due
to the absence of proper lookout on the
Champion. The board is Of opinion that the
fault rests mainly with R. n. Leonard, first.
mate of the Champion, and if he had sur.
vived, his action should have been condemned
in severe terms. The evidence shows that it
was the Lady Octavia that ran into the
Champion, but that under the evidence, the
officers Of the Octavia should be exempt from
all blame.

Our RECEIPT FOR CURING MEAT.-As
the season has arrived when curing meat is
in order, we republish as Of old, our famous
receipt for curing beef, pork, mutton, hams,
&c., as follows:
To one gallon of water,
Take II pounds Of salt,
pound of sugar,
ounce Of saltpetre
ounce of potash.
In this ratio the pickle can be increased to
any quantity desired. Let these be boiled
together until all the dirt from the sugar rises
to the top and is skinned of. Then throw
it into a tub to cool, and when cold, pour it
over your beef or pork. The meat must be
well-covered with pickle, and should not be
put down for at least two days after kill
ing, during which time it should be slightly
sprinkled with powdered saltpetre, which re-
moves all the surface-blood, &C., leaving the
meat fresh and clean. Some omit boiling the
pickle, and find it to answer we'll, though the
operation of boiling puriGes the pickle by
throwing off the dirt always to be found in
salt and sugar. If this receipt is strictly fol-
lowed, it will require only single trial to
prove its superiority over the common way.
or most ways of putting down meat, and will
not soon be abandoned for any other. The

table embodied therein shows that during the
past three years and four months, 3,117 illicit
distilleries have been seized, 6,363 persons ar.
rested for illicit distilling, and ~ officers and
employees killed and 48 wounded while en-
gagged in enforcing the internal reycnue faSS.
The commissioner says that the State Courtss
have taking cognizance Of these murders am =

OLD AaE.-Fourscore years and ten is now
the general term of human existence. With
women the 6ftieth, and with men the sixtieth
year, may generally be considered that in
which they begin to exhibit sgus Of infrmlty
and decrepitude. Disease incidental to this
stage of life then come into play, and their
effect upon the habit and constitution is soon
manifest. Especially do such diseases as
gout, rheumatism, apoplexy and paralysis
arise to make wreck of the constitution;
and cancer, more particularly in woman,
commits ravages, destroying its victims with
deadly certainty. Now it is, that any excess
es committed in the earlier periods Of life,
any habitual infringements Of the laws Of
health, are found to have told upon the con-
stitution, although this was not apparent in
the full yigor of manhood. Now it is, that
we find impaired powers of respiration, of se'
cretion, and Of digestion, rendering it neces-
sary to be careful Of the air we breathe, the
exercise we take, and the food we eat. Early
to bed, but not early to rise, is the rule at this
period of life; or, at all events, must rest.
Exercise should be taken by the aged, but
Of passive character and not carried to IA
tigue; warmth is essential to their comfort
cleanliness, though often neglected bv the
aged, is very necessary to the preservation OF
life and with these requisites, amusements
should not be overlooked, though it should
be of quiet, unexciting nature. II unable
to read, themselves, they should be read to-;
for one of the greatest pleasures of the aged
consist in old memories and associations.
Aged persons live very much in world Of
the past, and if sometimes tediously garrulous,
it should be remembered, that from them this
world, with its exciting hopes and depressing
cares, is rapidly passing away; that We may
not hereafter have cause for regret, let US
gently smooth the pathway Of declining age.

na% Has parent or guardian the right to
dictate what branch of study child or ward
shall omit in public school course? The
Judge of Court in Pomeroy, Ohio, thinks
this right exists. William Tucker sued the
Board of Education and recovered $35 dam
ages, for depriving his daughter of the priv:
ileges of the pubic schools. The Board had
decided that all the pupils should learn draw
ing. Tucker gave notice to the teacher that
his daughter must not study that branch, and
the Board, in consequence, expelled her.
