HEAvEs. J. S., Nebo, m-Query:
Please advise me of a sure cure for the
heaves in horses?
Reply:-A sure or permanent cure for
the heaves must not be expected. The
causes of this anomaly are various. Thus,
oyerwork, in a peculiar state of condi.
ton, may produce it; also, over loading
the stomach, either with food or water,
especially Immediately before and after
fast work. 1t is also supposed to be
hereditary. Frequently it follows cases
of chronic cough, and appears to be more
frequent in mares than in geldings. 1t
is also supposed to be due to deranged
state of some of the nerves or nervous
centres, mostprobably of the par vagum,
which supposition is borne out by the
fact that, when the par vagum nerve
from some cause becomes injured or par
alyzed, the functions of the bronchial
tubes and lungs, to which it is abundant
ly distributed, are disturbed, and evince
symptoms similar to heaves. Very little
can be said concerning treatment, and no
remedy will effect a permanent cure.
Proper attention to the diet can alone
ameliorate the condition, which will be
reproduced by such feeding or manage
ment as may have been productive of the
evil in the present case. The food should
I
be given in small quantities, and at short
intervals. The horse should have onIv
limited allowance of hay, and that of the
best quality of upland hay, containing
plenty of rosin weed, and the hay should
be well shaken to remove the dust.
Timothy hay should never be given to
such horse, as it is too coarse and
bulky, and almost certain to keep up the
evil. 1t would be proper to feed such a
horse mainly Oh ground food, mixed
with cut hay, and wetted. Small dailv
allowances of sliced carrots. mixed with
the food, are beneficial. Water should
never be given in large quantities at a
time, but may be given often in small
quantities. The food and water should
always be consumed an hour before such
q horse Is put TO work. At steady and
regular work, horse suffering from this
affection, will be enabled to CARY ON
breathing without much distress: but
heavy or fast work, or entire idleness. are
equally injurious. 1t should be remen-
bered that heaves is an affection which
once contracted, Is always liable to re-
turn or became aggravated by improper
feeding and management, The drugs, or
nostrums, sometimes used by Jockeys
| and horse dealers, as well as the various
tricks practieed by these gentry, for the
purpose of causing a temporary abate-
ment of the prominent symptoms OF
heaves IN horses. .nd thereby to deceive
pIGophtstieated buyers, we will not men.

Is THIS A CAPTAIN KID STORY?

A correspondent of the Indianapolis
Journal writes from Delphi, Ind, say
lug: "Your correspondent was this
morning in the presence of bloated opu
ience. 1t has long been believed that
there is treasure of some kind along
Deer Creek, somewhere near dam,
about mile east Of Delphi. The Indians
the Miamas and Pottawatamies--in
the settlement of this part of the country
strange bands of men and lone Indians
have, from time to time, appeared and
searched for it. Some believe it is mon
ey buried by the French and others
believe it is either gold or silver mine.
Gold has always been found there in
small quantities, and last summer the
gold fever was very much aroused by the
discovery of unusual quantities, and for
a while the place appeared like second
Leadville.
''There is q reserve of Miami Indians
AAS1i L Sl AL tiiIo toISttC. ISdSb CllHOuN
a wagon load, consisting of six Peruvians,
equipped with picks, shovels, frying pans,
side meat, and all the necessary imple-
ments for carving their way to fortune,
arrived in this vicinity. They claim that
the Indians have at last told them of the
treasure, which consists of an inexhaus-
tible silver mine. They proceeded to
open the diggings at once. Your CORES
pondent did himself the honor of inter-
viewing the diggers this evening. The
story Mr.. Mackie relates is as follows:-
He and his companions are farmers on
the Reserve near Peru, and are we'll
acquainted with the Indians. The Indi-
ans have always said there was an mex
haustible silver mine here, but would
| never tell where it was. Its location
| was only known to nine chiefs of the
Miamas and Pottawatamies. Up to last
year all bat two had died, and the secret
was buried with them. OF these two.
| one remained on the Reserve and the
/ other went to Kansas. Mr.. Mackie saws
the one at the Reserve, chief of the
Pottawatamies by the name, as we under
/ stood it, of Single Basis died last
March, but during his last moments he
revealed the secret, but not accurately
enough to find the exact spot. The other
called Wancacola, chief of the Potta-
watamies, died in Kansas last June
Every effort was made to get him to
reveal before death, and just before
| expiring he seemed to relent, end exclaim-
ed: The dam -, and then died. Some
! thought the next words would have been
fools or idiots, but others thought he
meant to say the dam above referred to
was the place. After a careful study of
the expression of his features, the hexion
of the tongue, lips, ETC., the latter opin-
! ion prevailed. The silver hunters claim
/ to have more definite knowledge than
/ this, however, and are very sanguine,
their only trouble at present being to
keep people from finding out their secret
After imparting all the information he
was willing to give, Mr.. Mackie gave an
illustration of the sagacity above desorih-
ed to him by sauntering off with an arm
ful of bacon and salt rising to prepare
/ the matin meal 4"

they fred the capitol and the executive
mansion. The light of the conhagration
was seen, it is said, as far as Baltimore,
forty miles distant. Only the walls of
the buildings were left standing.
On the following morning the British
set fire to the treasury, two story brick
building of modest dimensions. which
stood where the present treasury build
ing is located on the corner of Fifteenth
street and Pennsylvania avenue. The
war and navy department buildings,
which were built where the present i'm
posing structure, now nearly completed,
stands, on the corner Of Seventeeth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, were next tir-
ed. The affairs Of state and the postal
business of the young republic We're
conducted from offices in private resi-
dences. They were not harmed after
firing the war and navy departments
Gen. Ross marched his troops to the
corner of Fifteenth and Z streets and
drew them up before a building occupied
by the bank of the Metropolis, now the
National Metropolitan bank. This insti-
tuition had loaned the Government $780,
900 and the plate from which its notes
were printed bore the words ''a deposi-
tory of the Government. Some of these
notes had fallen into the possession of
the British, and Gen. Ross believed it TO
be a government bank. He was prepar-
ing to fire it, when citizen informed
HIM that it was private institution, and
had no connection with the government
beyond making the loan above referred
to. Besides" said this honest citizen,
as the story goes, 'if you burn this pro-
perty you will destroy the sole support
OF a poor Irish widow, country woman
of yours.
"She must be a-poor Irish widow
to own such valuable property in Wash
ington," said Gen. Ross savagely, but he
did not destroy the building.
The British remained in camp about
forty eight hours, and then left the city
by the same route they had entered it.
No demonstrations were made against
them, but they appeared to fear the re-
turn of the American troops in larger
numbers and animated with more cour-
age than they had shown before.

holding her pistol over her left shoulder
with her right hand, and taking aim by
the aid of small mirror held in her left
hand, shooting ball suspended by a
string and swinging to and fro. With a
small rifle she repeated the shots made
with the pistol, and with equal success.
Then she took a still heavier rife, the
one used by Mr.. Ruth, and broke ten
out of fifteen balls thrown into the air.
In two succeeding exhibitions she met
with poor success. Mr.. Ruth made sew
eral shots that his wife did not attempt,
including the breaking of balls held by
al assistant, with the muzzle of the pis-
tol protruding through piece of card
board IN such a manner as to render the
sight useless. His shooting of glass
balls thrown into the air was good, and

toward the marksman, who twice swung
around and twice swung the rifle over
MS head with his right hand after the
balls had been thrown into the air, and
each time he broke them. Mrs. Ruth
again took the small rifle and knocked a
piece of glass the size of half dollar
from Mr.. Ruth's fingers, eighteen feet
distant. NJ. Ruth then held piece of
cardboard about two inches by one in his
teeth, and his wife twice pierced it with
bullets, once with her rifle upside down.
With piece of cardboard placed on the
nluzzle of his rifle, Mr.. Ruth broke II
out of twelve balls thrown into the air.
Mr.. John Ruth, who is 81 years of age,
was born at Cincinnati, O., and has been
accustomed to the use of the shot gun
and rifle from boyhood. He was never
matched against marksman of any note,
and most of his performances have been

at Oakland, Cal, in 1S79-he says that
he made the score of 999 out of possi-

burg, Scotland, and was married to her
in Paris. She has acquired her skill in
the use of the rifle under her husbands
instructions. Mr.. Ruth uses a Winches-
tel repeating rifle. He says he is ready
to meet any marksman in the world.

The hares and rabbits bill as passed
by the British parliament permits the
tenant to shoot with limited number of
guns that species of game on his own
holding during day light, giving the far
mer the benefit of an hours hunting in
the twilight at either end of the day.
The lords, however, approved the meas
ure with very bad grace, and but for the
advice of Beaconstield would have reject
ed it. The conduct of the lords in dis
cussing the bill suggested for their house
the title ''Fools' Paradise" to one of the
agricultural journals. Some of the mo
BILE lords, " fought earnestly for the i'm
munity of Bunny at the hands of Vandal
farmers who lost nothing but their crops
by the depredations of the rodents, while
milord would lose his sport by the des-
truction of the ground game. The ar
guments were mainly in behalf of that
amiable animal, the game keeper, and
the height of eloquence was reached in
warning the world against that bete foire
of nobility, the poacher. The game
keeper had to be considered from the
fact that the rabbits are his perquisites
and are not ''game" like the hare in the
sporting use of the word. The House of
Lords of the United Kingdom is going
