THE WORLD FOR 1880.

Z
Democrats everywhere should inform
themselves fully alike OF the action of their
party throughout the country and of the
| movements of their Republican opponents
A failure to do this in 1876 contributed
greatly to the loss by the Democracy of
the fruits of the victory fairly won at the
polls. ,s
The year 1880 promises to be one Of the
most interesting and important years of
this crowded and eventful century. 1t will
witness q Presidential election which may
result in re-establishing the Government Of
this country on the principles of its con-
stitutional founders, or in permanently
changing the relations of the States 70 the
Federal power. No intelligent man can re-
gard such an election with indifference.

nnRsrs' SHOULDERS.

In the street we observed horse
with bad gall upon the shoulders,
and inquired as to the cause. The
reply was: MAY work is severe, and
/ am satisfied soft collar, such as
have been using, is bad for the
horses shoulders. | am going to
have collar with wooden face, like
an OK yoke, next to the flesh; / am
satisfied then / shall have nc
trouble
The collar which was on his horse
was dirty and grimy and there was
no wonder that with heavy work his
horse became CALLED.
In the New York Tribune Of q
recent date A. B. Allen touches this
matter Of hard collars as follows:
I have worked horses in all sorts
of ways for more than half century
and never had case of CALLED should
ers, except when the drivers neglect
ed my directions about the collars
This was simply to rub them inside
every few days with little neatsfoot
oil; and the moment they found any
dirt sticking like wax to the collar
to wash it off with warm soap suds,
and then oil it. Also to oil any
chased spot on the shoulder of either
OK or horse Immediately on discover
ing it. An excellent preventive OF
gals is not to remove the yoke from
the OK or collar from the horse when
brought into the stable from work
till all the sweat is thoroughly dried

above may be applied to the use OF
saddles or to any part of the harness
which happens to gall. If these are

chatting. An acquaintance of mine
who worked large number Of mules
towing canal boats in New Jersey
informed me that he never removed
a collar from an animal during the
whole season-kept it on all night il
the stable as well as day. In this
way he rarely had CALLED shoulde
among the hundred he annually EN-
ployed. The continued wearing o
the collar toughened the skin, We
kept it soft and pliable.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Civil war has decided and buried
forever two questions that vexed the
politics of the country for three score
years-slavery, and the doctrine CT
secession. II the managers Of the
Republican party will not submit to
law, or to equity or to votes, or to
all combined; it may be that another
question in this Republic must be
settled in blood-a question that lies
at the foundation Of the Republic, the
question whether suffrage and law, or
fraud, shall prevail The manner,
in which the Presidency was taken
is not yet forgotten. The Republi-
can leaders may prostitute even
courts to their purposes, but not al
ways. The question now to be de-
termined does not concern four mil
lions of people, merely it concerns
more than forty millions Of people.
1t does not concern a few States, a
section, only; it concerns thirty
eight States. The patience of the
people must not be overtaxed. When
they find the Constitution and laws
are of 40 avail, and the votes are of
no avail, they will find something
that is of avail; and the next "nn-
pleasa2 tness'' will not begin in the
South.

Saved by a Hat

"Mslor Rube Allen, Commodore
Vanderbilt's fayorite veteran engineer
of the Central New York road, man
of giant stature with brave heart
which is as tender as a womln's, has
new hat for one of his freight brake
men of the road when he can find the
right man. One day recently he was
coming to Utica drawing an express
train with the W. Ii. Vanderbilt. Just
as he approached one Of the small sta
tions he saw the foreman of a section
gang standing sideways in the mid1l e
of the passenger track, apparently
watching a passing freight train. Rube
quickly footed his steam whistle, but
the noise made by the freight must
have drowned it, for the foreman never
stirred. Rube continued the signal,
whistled for brakes and reversed, but
the man was still as if in a reverie. The
locomotive had approached so near that
Rube could hear the brakeman who
stood on the top Of his train call out to
the trackman and see him move his
hands desparingly as if he feared that
he could not save the man. The ex-
press was running at a high rate Of
speed and could not be stopped in time.
The old engineer was about to Shut his
eyes TO avoid sight of this mangled
victim, when he saw the brakeman
pull of his hat, roll II into ball and
throw it at the man. For tunately 1t
hit him squarely on the head, and Civ
ing a quick backward molten. the
trackman just cleared the rails as the
locomotive weat laundering by. Old
Reuben says his heart seemed to come
up into his mouth for minute and he
could not help crying out for joy. He
knew that the quick-witted brakeman's
old hat was cut to pieces and he says
that he should have a new one 'if he
never lays up cent"

shipping HorBes.

Each horse was led on the pier A strong
crib, suspended by tackle, was lowered
from the shlp's deck to the pier. The crib
was just large enough to hold a horse with
a man at his head. The high-blooded ami
mails were led into the crib, some willingly,
some by coaxing with q tuft Of hay held
before them, and others had to be forced
in. As soon as the racehorses were well
N the crib, the end at which they entered
was closed up, their heads were fastened
on each side by strong halters to the closed
upper end of the crib, and q man stood
cramped in at the horses head, on the off
side. An order was then given to hoist
away, q rattling of chains and the steam
engine was heard, and the horses and man
were soon swinging In the air above the
upper deck. Thev were then lowered TO
the main deck, directly underneath, when
the horse was taken out and led TO the side
of a strong partition. Another partition
was soon formed by slipping strong, smooth
boards into inches prepared for them, when
the horse was snugly boxed for the voyage.
Clean, comfortable mattresses were fastened
to the insides Of the stall, and snug feed
Ing box was riggea at the head. Strong
and wide canvas suspenders are rigged to
sling the horses in when they need rest, for
there Is no chance for them TO lie down
while on shipboard.

A Big Georgia snake.

Captain James Posteil, of ST. Simon's,
has received a present from Major Bailey,
of Satilla River, of a twelve-foot snake. Ii
is of the Columbo Couperi species and
blacksnake order. The color is a blue
black, and the reptile is as graceful and
slender as any of his black snake cousins.
1t has large fanss but it is said to be nom
poisonous. 1t is remarkable that this kind
of snake is said to have been the last found
and classified in North America. and al the
same time the largest, some specimens be-
ing found more than fifteen feet long. Ii
is named by the celebrated naturalist, DR..
Holbrook of Charleston, South Carolina, in
honor Of the late j. Hamilton Couper, of
St. Simon's, who was the first to direct at
tention to this species. Its common name
is gopher snake. because of its being always
found in the gopher hole. 1t is said to
wait till the gopher makes his burrow, and
then his snakeship helps himself to COM
Portable quarters, with the gopher, upon
the most intimate terms of peace, friend
ship and mutual protection. After allow
ing the curious to inspect this rare speci-
men, Captain Posteil will, in a few days,
send il to the museum of the Smithsonian
Institute as the only representative of its
kind ever seen IN Washington city.

Breaking Horses In Australia

Fitzgerald's attention was directed by
one of the men to particular horse in the
yard, which he at once recognized.
''I've not seen that gray horse these two
wears. made sure some one had stolen
him" Going into the yard, be endeayored
10 drive the gray into corner by himself
and catch him. In vain; round and round
flew the mob like wild deer, the gray as
wild as any of them.
Getting light, long, grecn-hide rope,
and asking two or three men to help him.
the young man gathered up the slack in
one hand, and holding the moose in the
other, whirled il two OF three times around
mis- head. and sent it circling in the air after
the excited horses, who kept flying around.
Hoyering for portion Of a second over the
gray's head, il settled round his neck with
wonderful precision, the rope was tighten
Ell, and, after q plunge or two, the horse,
obeylng his old education, made toward
them, still straining slightly On the rope.
The rest Of the mob were drafted into
another yard. Fitzgerald sent for his
birdie and saddle. and had his horse turned
into the paddock. With long stick he
now rubbed the gray gently over the head,
and body, then, gradually approaching, he
slipped on the bride. The rope wss taken
of and laid on ore,side. Giving the bride
10 one of the men to hold, he approached
The horse carefully from the shoulder. and
endeavOred (vsinly for some time) to put on
the saddle; but il was not until the ami
mails fcreleg was strapped up that this
could be accomplished and firmly secured.
f.araz1I
to the plunging of the animal: but all was
satisfactorily managed at length, the men
all left the yard, and, seating themselves
on the top-rail Of the stockyard fence, pre-
pared to enjoy the coming scene with true
oush zest. Fitzgerald, after fixing the
reins 10 ths saddle, uudid The strap which
held up the creatures foot, and allowed
him to run loose, in order that, if disposed
TO buck, he might do 50 before beng
mounted.
But Harlequin, as the grey was named,
did not seem inclined to waste his ener-
gfes on pigskin merely, and moved about
very stitfiy, with slightly bumped back,
and his tail held closely to his body.
.'You better mind that fellow, Mr.. Fitz-
gerald, :" said the native; she's sure to buck
q docker."
"All right, Jach,' said Fitzgerald; che
looks ugly. Ill give him few turns
round the yard before getting on
Accordingly the horse was driven at
canter half dozen times round the enclo-
sure, occasionally testifying his disapproval
of the unaccustomed harness by humping
his bsck. or lashing out with his hind legs.
"Way, Harlequin, way, old boy" said
the young squatter, stopping him at last,
and catching him. ''We'lltry now whether
you or can hold out longest"
Leading him into the center Of the yard,
he gathered up the rs;ns in his left hand,

photographs in Natural Colors Cap
tain Abney, the well-knOwn English
photographer, has succeeded In obtain
ing pictures of the solar spectrum in its
natural colors, both on silver plates and
on compounds Of silver held in place
by collodion. The photographs are pro-
duced by oxidation of silver compounds
when placed in the spectrum, the col
oring matter being due apparently to
mixture of two different sizes of
molecules of the same chemical compo-
sition, one OF which absOrbs at the blue
end and the other at the red end Of the
spectrum; and the sizes Of the MOLE
cules are unslterable while exposed to
the same wave-lenghs as those by
which they were produced. Captain
Abney believes that the colors may be
preserved unchanged when exposed to
ordinary daylight. He has thus sue
ceeded in explaining the action by
which Bequerel some years ago OF
tanned photograph in colors, as pro-
duced by oxidation and not due to in.
reference. BeQuerel's photographs
were fugitive; Captain Abney appears
to have succeeded in "fixing" his. An
exposure of two minutes with a wide
slit was sufficient to produce the pict-
ures of the spectrum.

How II Was Done.

Many persons have been anus ed amp
mystified by the late Robert Heller
second-sight performances. The trick
consisted III taking q watch, or other
article, from some person in the audi
ence, whicd Heller would hold In his
hand while blindfolded confederate at
a distance would describe everything
about it very minutely, even to tie
name of the maker. the number of the
watch, the number of jewels, etc. All
this was very mystifying. and almost
compelled belief in clairvoyance or
some magnetic power. But a former
pupil and confederate of Heller's has
explained the whole matter in the Gin
cinnati TuHss. 1t consisted of an in
genious alphabetical arrangement Of
short questions, the first letter of W hich
represented an object or else another
letter, so that by series of questions
the name of the object was spelled. In
short, the questions constituted a sys-
TEN Of telegraphic ciphers by which
Heller could convey any Information
and dictate any answer he desired to
his assistant. All that was necessary
was thorough mastery on both sides o
the cipher and the key. 1t will be re-
membered that Heller used to close this
exhibition by seating his confederate
on stool with his back to the audi
ence, throwing his handkerchief over
his head, and then have him describe
objects without any questions at all.
The assistant explains this part Of the
performance: Gas soon as my back
was turned to the audience, and large
silk handkerchief thrown over my head,
the stool on which l was seated, con-
talning hollow leg, was placed direct
ly over hole in the stage. A rubber
pipe was passed up which connected
with tin tube running underneath the
stage to the back of the curtain. The
assistant saw through a hole In the
curtain all articles which were held up,
and conveyed the intelligence to me
through the pipe. None but large ar
ticles, such as hats, umbrellas, sticks,
etc., were taken, and as this always
closed the second-sight part Of the per-
formance, it was clear to the mind OF
all THAT it wasn't done by questions

Life In Corez.

In cities and medium-sized towns of the
Kingdom of Corea it Is considered a great
offence against modesty vi N wsmen are
encountered In the public streets during the
day. To partially indemnify them for this
strict seclusion, the following remarkable
arrangement has been made. Every even-
ing at nine o'clock during summer, and at
an earlier hour in winter time, the city
gates Of Saoul and other towns are closed
at a given signal. Thereupon all men are
bound TO leave the streets, which are aban-
doned to the women for the purpose of
recreation and promenading. Any male
finding himself. by accident, belated in the
thoroughfares, is sure to hurry to his house
as fast as possible, without looking up, or
lowering the fan held before his face, for
severe punishment would fall upon any
person daring, in the face of the stringent
prohibition, to molest women by so much
as an inquisitive glance. We may state
here that polygamy prevails In Corea, and
that the lot of the women differs but little
from that of their Chinese sisters. The
number of wives varies according to the
standing and affiuence of the husband, but
IL 70 AoiO AOi VI NhS ot
lower classes, which are not generally we'll
to-do, TO have more than one wife at q
time. Nuptial ceremonies on the celebra-
tion Of weddings are unknown. As soon
as certain sum, either TO be paid or TO be
received, has been agreed upon between the
aspirant and the father or near relations of
the girl, the former takes his bride-elect to
his house, and may thenceforth treat her as
he likes, seeing that, in law, she forms a
part of his goods and chattels. Funerals
are conducted with as little ceremonv and
solemnity as the weddings. The body is
put into very plain wooden coffin, or. as
is often the case, merely thrust into linen
sheets; nor is any difference made in this
respect between persons of high and low
caste. No ornaments of whatever kind are
buried with the dead, and, as general
rule, no mourning is put on for them. We
may add that on rare occasion cremation is
practised, but only in the case Of persons
belonging TO the highest class.

RunnIng Down . Deer.

When sufficiently near the Apache
hunter takes his aim, and making a
slight noise with his foot on the ground,
which causes the deer to turn toward
him, has good chance to hit 1t in the
middle of the forehead. But IL be
misses the mark, or his gun misses fire,
then the fun begins In earnest, and one
of the finest races in the world can be
witnessed-a naked Indian and fright
ened deer at full speed. II the deer
should happen to be not more than a
year Old, il is of no use following 1t, as
1t will then outrun any Indian, and run
longer without giving out, but II two
or three years old, or older, a good run
ner Will bring 1t down in few hours,
or certainly within fifty or sixty miles.
The deer starts at full speed, making
long leaps of from ten to thirty feet.
At first he gains rapidly on the Indian
but the latter follows, every now and
then uttering frightful yells, but never
for a moment halting or losing the
trail. The deer, when out Of sight,
halts and looks back, but soon his pur-
suer comes in sight, when he bounds
ON with longer leaps than at first;
finally he makes for water, a spriug or
stream, and when he gets there halts
and drinks all he wants. Now there is
no hope for him, for after he drinks he
caanot run so fast or leap so far. Pret-
ty soon the Indian comes in sight
again. while the tired deer rests q mo-
ment, but the tired hunter never halts
to rink, not If his mouth IL as as dry as
ashes, for by 30 doing he uot only loses
time, but cannot run 50 fast afterward.
