The Society for the Prevention Of
Cruelty.to Animals has put forth
the, following rules for the treat
ment of balky horses. which should
command the attention OF owners of
animals addicted to that provoking
habit:
Pat the horse upon the neck;
examine the harness carefully, first
on one side and then on the other,
speaking encouragingly while doing
so; and then jump into the wagon
and give the word go; generally he
will obey.
2. A teamster in Maine says he
can start the worst balky horse by
taking him from the shafts and ma
king him go in circle till he is gid
dy. It the first dance of this sort
doesn't cure him, the second will.
3. To cure balky horse, simply
place yonr hand over the horses
nose and shut off his wind till he
wants to 90, and then let him go.
4. The brain of the horse seems
to entertain but one idea at time;
therefore continued whipping only
confirms his stubborn resolve. If
you can by any means give him a
new subject to think Of you will
generally have no trouble in start
ing him, \ simple remedy is TO
take a couple of turns of stout twine
around the toreleg, inst below the
knee, tight enough for the horse to
feel, and tie in bowknot, At the
first check he will go dancing off, and
after going a short distance you can
get out and remove the string to
prevent injury to the tendon inyour
further drive.
3. Take the tail of the horse be-
tween the hind legs and tie it with
cord to the saddle girth.
6. Tie string around the horses
ear close to his head.
The Farmers Union suggest that
the manager of the horse does not
lose his own temper and become
more balky than the horse. 1t is a
very common remark that there are
more balky drivers than horses. A
driver who does not control his own
temper will be very likely to lose
control Of a balky horse.

Horse RtOlen and RecOyereh

On Monday night fine horse and
buggy belonging TO r. J. Grier, were
stolen from the hotelstables of Joshua
Menoush, in Oxford, Pa. On Tuesday
Mr.. &. came to our city in search of his
property, and calling at the stables of
K. Nj. Gibson on French street, he luck
lily met WIN. Hammond who had lust
returned from trip to Cbristiana, and
on Mr.. Gibson inquiring if he had seen
anything of one of his teams which had
been hired to go to Newark, he stated
that a stranger had disposed of no
top buggy during the afternoon at
very low figure to some one residing
near that place. Messrs. Grier and
Gibson consequently started directly
to Christiana and on arriving there
they found that man calling himself
George Retee, but whose real name is
VIM. Mcconnell, had sold horse to
John A. McClintock for 500,
taking in payment note drawn
in favor of Jacob McClintock, payasl.
three months after date at the National
Bank Of Wilmington and Brandywine,
and left the place about half an hour
before their arrival. The thiefalss took
note for the wagon, and consequent.
ly received no money whatever. Mr..
Grier was rejoiced on securing his prop
erty so readily. Mcconnell is a yonng
man, being about % or % years Of age.
and formerly carried on butchering in
the neighborhood Of Chatham. Mr..
McCllntock warns persons against
negotiating his note as he received no
value therefor.

MEssRs. EDIToRs:--In looking over
your valuable paper of the 22nd,
noticed aularticle written by Mr.. Well.
in which he presents FIVE hour sys
t-in- and attributes to the great inven
tion of machinery as the cause WY 50
many OF our laboring community have
been out of work. This is very true in
one sense, but Mr.. W. will bear in mind
tnat as machinery is invented so much
the more is agriculture extended, and
thousands OF acres are to-day in cult,
vatiOn that would not have been if had
to - pl By manual labor. 7! :
bringing into our markets produce al
prices that enables the man that earns
his living by the sweat of his brow, to
have the delicaies ofvegetatou as we'll
as the banker.
Certainly we will admit hat times
have been hard, and yet believe, aud
think am very safe in saying, that
there is hardly man in the city OF
Wilmington that could not get work if
he really desired it.
You say that the idle are th. ones
that fill our Aims Houses and make
customers for rum mills, that is true,
and yet if Dor was as it was in 1860
and 1864 we would still have some that
could not get work, and still have Gus
TONERS for the rum mills, Aims House
and jails, and always will have.
Mr.. W. can not see the five hour
system as you do. Please tell me how
a man can pay rent and support his
family, on three days work out Of the
week or five hou,s per day. X.

shooting His Assailants,

ATLANTA, Ga, July 22.-S. G. Gras-
ty, a railroad officer, had a fatal quar-.
rel with J. J. Reid and son, at Opelika,
Ala, last night. Samuel Grasty ID
accused Of ssducing a daug ghter of Reid
two years ago. Her mother on her
death bed, soon after, denounced Grasty
as the seducer OF her daughter and in.
voked vengeance on him. Grasty has
recently been visiting the girl again.
Last night Reid called at Grasty g
room, and ordered him not to come in
his house again. Grasty became in
dignant and pulled Reid's beard
Reid struck him with a stick, and
Samuel Reid, his son, then rashed in
with dirk and stabbed Grasty.
Grasty went to his bureau, drew out
a revolver and shot Reid in the abdo-
men and his son in the neck and face.
Both fell bleeding copiously. A crowd
rushed in, and great excitement en-
sued. Grasty was arrested, and pub
lie feeling runs high against him. The
Reids belong to an aristocratic Georgia
family, just moved to Opelika. The af
fair has created great sensation in
the State. Miss Reid is a beautiful
and accomplished girl, and her sad
history has caused the family great
trouble. Gasty is a very accomplished
man. Reid died to-day, and his son is
in critical condition. Gras
ty is not dangerously hurt.

An Interesting Arg uaneut.

The case of United States agains,
Robert b. Rodney mentioned in yestsr.
days REPUBLICAN is still being argued.
The suit is brought at the request Of Mr..
R. r. Rodney nephew of of Mr.. George
b. Rodney Of New Castle for the pur.
pose of obtaining the opinion of His
Honor, Judge Bradford. Mr.. Rodney
was assistant paymaster of the navy in
1873. Some trouble occnriDg, arising
from an alleged neglect of duty he was
tried by two different court martials for
misdemeanors in Office. Both findings
Of both courts were set aside on the
ground of non jurisdiction. Aferward
the case was heard by the Retiring
Board, and he was placed upon two.
thirds pay or 81 400, his full pay being
", 100 per annum. Two years succeed
ing bis being placed upon the retired
list he received full pay, and the pay
master for the last two years has taken
500 of the t~o-thirds pay and only
paid him 800, it being alleged that he
had no right to the full two years pay
he received. This decision is to know
whether an officer can retain a por
tion of Mr.. Rodney's pay to re imburs.
the government; and it is also claimed
by Mr.. Rodney through his counsel,
Messrs. John b. Rodney and Edw ard G.
Bradford, Jr., that the retiring Board
from the evidence had no right to place
him upon the retired list. William G.
spruance is conducting the case on the

The Broken Free dman's Bank

WASHINGTON, July 22.-Betore the
adjournment OF Congress, Senator Bruce
Chairman of the committee created to
investigate the management of the
Freedman's Bank, appointed three ex-
pert accountants to examine the books
and accounts of the various branches OF
that institution, and these experts have
been busily engaged in the work as
signed them. There were 33 branch
banks connected with the parent issti-
tuition, in various parts of the country.
The business transactions OF the
branch banks were very numerous, a
majority of them being made up of
small deposits, and running through
about 900 ledg-rs of 600 pages each.
A proper examination of such vast
number of accounts will occupy months
of time and patient labor, and, until
reasonable progress has been made in
this work, Senator Bruce's committee
cannot begin the formal investigation.
The experts are now pushing their ex-
aminatons, and hope to be able to
have their work ready to present to
the committee about Dec. |. After
that date it is expected by Senator
Bruce that he will be- able 10 proceed
rapidly with the formal investigation.

Asking n Mod uc,to> of Salary.


WASHINGTON, July 22.-The following
letter has been received at the Indian
Office from Agent J. Hsrtford, dated Saa
and Fog Agency, Indian Territory July
IL; tal-
Henry Jones, our agency black.
smith, has called this day to make the
following statement He said that some
years ago he was poor, and that his
present prosperous condition in life Is
mainly due to his persevering habits Of
industry, a ded by the Indian Depart
p'eRt in giving him salary of 500 a
year for his services. ~ g9
Nine years ago he was blanket In
dian, and spent most Of his time in the
rural sports of his people. without care
for the morrow. Being naturally gifted
with intelligence, he reasoned with
himself, unaided by advice from others,
that he had at least the intellectual ad.
vantages which would enable him to
emulate the white mans ways In good
habits and he accordingly pushed for
ward to reach that goal which would
render himself and family comfortable
and happy.
He has now 100 head of cattle be.
sides mules AMI horses; 40 acres Of
good land, adjoining the agency, 20 Of
which are in corn; good house, barn,
and a we'll. ln consequence Of these
agreeable surroundings, he feels that
he can live with less salary than he
has been receiving, and that the remu.
neration for his services as blacksmith
for this fiscal year may be $500 instead
of 500 as heretofore.
He desires at the same time to return
thanks for the encouragement he has
hitherto received at the hands of the
honorable Secretary Of the Interior and
the honorable Commissioner Of Indian
Affairs"
This is, perhaps, the first instance on
record where Federal Office holder has
requested the authorities to reduce his
salary, and when it is known that the
reduction in this instance will inure TO
the benefit of the tribe of which the
official blacksmith is a her, his
patriotic motives will be more fully ap-
preciated. ... 49,.

Political.

Chalmers is sure Tilden is not DO pu.
lar in the South because "we are a
bold, brave people," who are disgusted
by Tilden's cowardice. II is q
disgust which the barrel will overcome,
however. .tf.
Ex-Congressman Milton Sayler, Of
Cincinnati, has been on visit to New
York, and has returned home with the
information that Mr.. Tilden, in spite
Of formidable opposition, will control
the New York delegation to the next
National Convention.
An old Kansas Republican platform,
which Ewing wrote many years ago,
has been dug up, wherein the Demo.
cratic party is said to have "proved
itself the bitter foe OF the people ofKan-
sas, and the enemy of popular rights
elsewhere" That fits the party to-
day.
Congressman Mills, of Texas,is anoth-
er Southern statesman who is sorely
grieved by the lack of starch in Til
denis backbone. He does not believe
the South will consent to have him
" forced upon" them again. Texas
people like Thurman best, he thinks,
and after him Hancock or Hendricks.
1t is curious that they should pick out
the three candidates no are notorious
ly the weakest in the lot. He talks
about Southern and Western soft mon
ey alliance carrying the next National
convention, which is probably the most
absurd notion he has absorbed tor a
twelvemonth.
Father has his Son Arrested.
James Walls was given hearing at
the police court this morning, on the
charge of using abusive language to-
wards his father John Walls. The
latter, testified to James threatening to
whip him and everybody else in the
house; every day he is very abusive.
James was fined So and cost.
AS the prisoner was being conducted
back to the cells his father asked the
Mayor if he intended to let him out.
His Honor replied that if he paid the
fine and costs the prisoner would be
given his freedom. AT this reply the
father in an excited manner said 81
well, now want you to put him un-
der security, as he will burn me out,
and am afraid of my life.' The pris-
1neI was again taken from the cells
and placed in the dock, when the May.
'r informed him that he would be re-
luired to furnish 500 security for his
good behavior.
