CHARCOAL AND It's UsEs-Charcoal, laid
fiat while cold Oh burn, causes the pain to
abate Immediately; by leaving it on for an
hour the burn seems almost healed when the
burn is superficial. And charcoal is valua.
bic for many other purposes. Tainted meat,
surrounded with it, is sweetened strewn over
heaps of decomposed pelts, or over dead ami
mails, it prevents any unpleasant odors Foul
water is purified by it. It is great disinfect-
ant, and sweetens offensive air if placed in
shallow trays around apartments. 1t is so
very porous in its "minute Interior" it alb.
serbs and condenses gas most rapidly. One
cubic inch of fresh charcoal will absorb near
ly one hundred inches of gaseous ammonia.
Charcoal forms an unrivaled poultice for
malignant wounds and sores, often corroding
away dead flesh, reducing it to one quarter
in six hours. In cases of what We call proud
flesh it is invaluable. 1t gives no disagreea-
BILE odor, corrodes no metal hurts no texture,
Injuries no color, is simple and safe sweeten-
er and disinfecsant. A teaspoonful of char
coal in half glass of water often relieves a
sick headache it absorbs the gases and re-
lieves the dstended stomach pressing against
the nerves, which extend from the stomach
to the head. 1t often relieves constipation,
pain or heartburn.

FEEDING HoRsEs-More horses are annu'
ally killed or injured by over-feeding and ny
injudicious feeding, than by starving or most
other causes In horses we can detect as
many different temperaments and dispositions
as in man, though but few horse owners take
this fact into consideration in the manage
ment of their horses, particularly in that part
Of it relating to food and feeding. Some
horses are natural gluttons, and they must
be seen to carefully, OF they will, at times, be
apt to seriously injure themselves by feeding
too fast, while much of the food they con-
sumo will pass through them undigested, tor
the simple reason that it is swallowed before
it has been properly masticated. We like to
see what is termed "good FEEDER Zone who
does not mince or pick his food); but then
we are not at all partial TO the ravenous one.
Such horse the latter named will dive
into his feed with mouth mide CO." and in.
variably take more at mouthful than he
can either hold in his mouth or properly mas
ticate. There are several ways to fix such
fellows, one way being to mix some little fine
hay with his oats; lie moistening the oats
or feeding cut food prevents him pandering
to his greedy propensity. A horse with
delicate appetite is usually a tender, delicate
animal, and not at all desirable.
The trouble with most persons who keep
horses, no matter whether on farm for farm
work or for driving purposes, is, they feed too
much hay; and to this cause can be attribn-
ted the general sluggishness often manifested
by the horses until they have been working
couple of hours, while the wind is also much
impaired. Night is the only time when hay
should be fed, especially to animals used for
quick work. Even the snow. plow team
should have but little hay at the morning
and noon feeds but give them a generous
supply at the evening meal. By doing this,
your horse will keep in better spirits and con:
dition, free from any tendency to "pot-belly,"
which horsemen so dislike to see.

The VALUE OF HEN MANURE.-f all
the droppings from the roost by hens be
carefully saved in barrels, and every Spring
and Fall this manure be composted with
any good soil or muck from swamps, and
kept few months, its value is equal to Pc
ruvian guano, and may, think, be estima
ted at fifty cents per fowl per annum. From
fifty hens / save about ten barrels Of the
pure guano during the year. What | save
from November to April, I compost in the
Spring with the soil. First l spread in a
circle, soil to the depth of three or four inch
es, then I spread another layer of soil, and
then layer of manure, till the heap is com
pleted, using about four times the bulk Of
soil that do Of manure, the last layer being
soil. The top of this compost heap / make
flat to catch the rains, then cover it with any
refuse straw or hay, then place some sticks of
wood or boards against the covering to keep
it in place, and in two or three months it is
ready for use, having become thoroughly in
corporated with the soil, but as the season
for planting is then past mostly, leave the
heap till the next year, when l use it with
what l compost in November. Perhaps it
would be better to make compost in March,
where the climate will admit, and use the
manure for crops planted the last of May
or early in June, but can discover no loss
by keeping it till the next season. A gill Of
this compost in hill of corn will be equal
in effect to half shovelful of stable manure.

WASHINGTON, March ga sub
committee of the ways and means
committee agreed tosday to report
to the full committee the Carlisle
internal revenue bill with amend
ments. The important points agreed
upon are that the law requiring
monthly reports from distillers shall
remain unchanged, the commissioner
assuring them that regulations
will be prescribed which will effect
the object Of the law without serious
Inconvenience to distillers; that the
ten.cent stamp tax shall be re-
pealed, except as to importers, the
whole amount derived from this
source last year having been very
small, that the tax upon shrinkage
in warehouse shall be remitted, pro>
vided that what remains after
shrinkage shall be of the same proof
test as the original quantity.

THE Charleston News and Courifr
is somewhat disturbed on account Of
the purchase of the road from this
place to Maryville, and alludes to i'm .
possibility of routes, charters, etc. The
truth Is, that nature has made buttwo
routes through the great North Caro-
lima mountains; first and best, where
the Little Tennessee comes; second,
where the French Broad pierces its
way. These are the only through cuts
into the great North Carolina noun
tain system. The latter is held
by the Western North Caro-
lima road the former can be
held forever, and we emphasize
1t, by any company who builds from
Maryville to the North Carolina line.
II such road 10 built no other road
ever can or will be built. For ten
miles Of the line but one road can be
built unless II cuts It's way through
the hardest Of stone. Charleston will
not be hurt by the building OF the road
to Toccoa--it will be benefited. Why
not cease grumbllng. Anything Is
better than nothing, and for fifty years
we have been looking for this road
through the mountains.

preparation was made necessary ia
meet the increased business. This
amount and the various senate com.
mittee amendments were agreed to.
Senator Blaine offered an amend,
ment providing that employees Of
government printing offices shall
have the aame holidays as other
government employees without losing
their pay therefor.
Senator Davis (W. Va.) opposed
this as general legislation on an ap>
preparation bill, to which he OBJ
jected on principle.
Senator Blaine asked Senator
Davis if he would carry out that
principle by voting against the mar
shals clause in this bill.
Senator Davis replied that the
senate could not control the action
of the house. To vote for the house
bill was very different from voting
for Senator Blaine's amendment.
Senator Edmunds (Vermont) op>
posed Senator Blaino's amendment,
and raised the point Of order
against it, that it proposed general
legislation on a general appropria>
ton bill. The presiding officer
ruled that the pending bill was not
a general appropriation bill, and
that Senator Blaine's amendment
was in order.
Senator Edmunds appealed from
the ruling. A debate ensued as to
what constituted a general appro-
priation bill, in the course of which
Senator Blaine (Me.) said he was
opposed to the clause in this bill
regulating the appointment of
special deputy marshals, because it
was vicious in ITSELF. not because it
was attached to an appropriation
bill. To oppose it because it was
on an appropriation bill was to
make a petty objection. 1t was
partisan in design, mischievous in
intent, and disastrous in its conse,
quences.
After further discussion, the chair
reversed his ruling. saying that
while under the first clause of rule
20 the amendment seemed admissa>
bic, under the whole rule it was
not in order.
Senator Blaine (Me. was dissat-
Isfed with this ruling and an ani>
mated and amusing colloquy ensued
between him and Senator Carpenter
