year 1875 l treated with kendalrs Spa
vim Cure a bone spawn of several months
growth, nearly half as large rs a hens
egg, and completely stopped the lame
ness and removed the enlargement. l
have worked the horse ever since very
hard since and he never has been lame,
nor could I ever see aud difference in the
size of the hook joints since I treated

Want Bigger Glasses.

The lager-beer drinkers of New Orleans
do not ask for lower prices, but they want
more beer for their money. They lately
held public meeting, and the demand for
enlarged beer glasses was made by many of
the speakers. Mr.. Einbercher said that
the cost of all the cemponents of larger beer
had been brought down to such a low figure
that drinkers, as American freemen, were
determined to have the size of the glasses
increased proportionately. Mr.. Rosenberg
argued that, at the time when rich and poor
felt the business depression, 100 per cent.
profit on beer was too much. Mr.. Bach
said Shentlemens-I don't shpeak if
you don'd call upon me, but dere ought to
be ash much bulge in de beer glass ash der
ish in de barrel" Mr. Schonberg advocated
size of glass that would bring the profit
down to one cent on each filling. The fol-
lowing resolutions were passed unanimously
by the 800 voters: "That those present
at this meeting organize themselves into
society to advocate an increase in the size
of beer glasses in New Orleans. That we
make this our earnest appeal to the saloon
keepers to increase the size of glasses to
such an extent as to make it obtainable by
all at a fair price for fair measure" A
pledge to drink no more beer out of small
glasses was signed by 246 men.

The Wheelharrow Man.
Cincinnati Gazette, May 9th.

Leon Pierre Federmeyer, now know
throughout the West as '' the wheelbarrow
man." arrived in the city yesterday. He is
deciding wager of $1,000 by a journey on
foot from San Francisco to New York city,
his contestant being r. Lyman Potter, FORM
erly of Albany, N. Y. The two men
started with wheelbarrows, containing a
tent and some bed clothing, on December s,
and for five weeks Travelled together. Pot
ter is now said to be 400 miles In the rear
Federmeyer is stopping at boarding house
on Sixth street near Vine. He is a native
of Alsatia, and evidently man of intelli-
gence. His profession was that of wroker
in hair, his abilities in that direction being
remarkable. An affection of the eyes COM
PEELED him to quit work, and he accepted
the challenge to walk across the continent
for want of something else to do which
would not involve a strain upon his eyes.
He carries with him book filed with GER
tificates from express and postofice clerks
and other persons, of his arrival in the va
rious towns on the route. and is accompa-
MED by an umpire, who is supposed to keep
record of the trip and see that it is honest
ly made. Federmeyer expects to arrive in
New York about July 1,seven months after
his departure from San Francisco.
