Plenty OF Room at the Top.

The story is told that young man
who desired to enter a law office, but
hesitated from fear that the profession
was already over-crowded, once went to
Daniel Webster for advice on the sub
ject, and the great barrister and diplo-
mat kindly assured the young aspirant
for legal honors, that "There is plenty
of room at the top of the profession
;or all the talent that can be brought to
the front; that while the ordinary walks
of the profession were fully, if not over
supplied, there was large unoccupied
field in the higher circles, which would
insure to those who had the ability and
the genius to reach those circles, a
highly remunerative return for their
labors. No person or ordinary intelli-
gence will fail to comprehend the force
of this logic, nor hold q mental debate
as to its truthfulness.
This application to the legal profession
is equally applicable to most business
vocations of life, and in none of them
more so than in agricultural affairs. In
all the beaten paths of agriculture each
individual is q close imitator of nearly
every other, and all together are pur-
suing the business in the direct line in
which the greatest competition exists,
and thus each is constantly crowding
and jostling the other in the scramble.
Comparatively, but few farmers at
tempt anything outside the common
staple productions of our latitude, and
the constant endeavor is to swell these
to such proportions as to keep the gen.
eral market in a constant state of siege,
allowing the "bulls and bears full
swing in goring. scratching and hug
ging each other, the farmer being the
legitimate prey of the entire menagerie,
while appearances usually indicate that
they are simply tantalizing each other.
An occasional agriculturist, with more
shrewdness than most of his fellows,
takes in the situation and with clear
comprehension that this scramble to

common in horses, is caused most fire.
quently by driving or working the ami
NAL till it is overheated, and more or
less exhausted, and then allowing him
to cool off suddenly without rubbing
dry. A horse is driven hard for sew
eral miles and then hitched to q post
in the open air in cold winter weather,
and perhaps forgotten by the driver,
who may be telling stories, or smoking
a cigar by warm fire. The next
morning, if not sooner, it Is noticed
that the animal has not eaten well, and
can scarcely move from the stall. The
lameness may be chiefly in one limb, or
in more than one. DR.. Cressy, IN his
recent lecture before the Connecticut
Board of Agriculture, said that any case
of founder can be cured if taken within
thirty hours of the attack. saf-
The first thing to do is to place the
horse's feet in tubs of warm water,
then blanket heavily, and get the ami
NAL thoroughly warm all over. The
lameness is caused by stagnation of
the blood in the feet, caused by being
cooled too rapidly after exhausting la
Dor. The warm water thins the blood,
extends and softens the blood vessels,
and favors increased circulation. In
very bad cases, bleeding in the foot
may be necessary, though ordinarily it
may be dispensed with.
Knowing the cause of founder, it will
be seen that it is much easier to pre-
vent than to cure this disease after it
becomes established. In the first place
avoid very severe driving and over ex-
haustion, but If abuse of this kind is
unavoidable, see to it that the horse
who has risked his life in the service of
his master is not neglected at the end
of his journey. Drive into warm
shed or barn, free from cold draughts,
and rub vigorously till /. the animal is
dried off, Give warm water to drink.
and cover with warm blankets. In
sort, treat the horse just as you would
treat yourself under like circumstances

immensely swell the cereal productions
to be thrown on the market In the raw
state, has but one tendency, and that to
keep prices where only the strictest
economy and the most laborious habits,
supplemented with the least possible
expense, can produce them without ac-
tual loss; and instead of swelling the
number of those thus engaged, steps
outside and devotes his energies to the
breeding of fine stock-sheep, swine or
cattle, any or all-buying the grains
with which to rear his stock from those
of his near neighbors who persist in
following the old beaten paths because
they require the least thought. and sell
ing breeding stock back to them at
double or treble the price which stock
of their own rearing will command. In
all this time the lands of the grain pro-
ducer are gradually, but surely dete-
riorating, from the fertilizing element,
which they so sorely need being with
held from them, while those of the
stock grower are waxing fat from the
abundance of nutriment annually re-
turned.
We do not believe that anything in
the least degree sensational is contain
ed in the foregoing lines, but that, in
stead, they are facts which are amply
confirmed by everyday observations.
And we will add that, except in years
of partial failure, if the farmers of the
fertile West very soon realize fully re-
munerative prices for the two great
staple products of corn and oats, of
which so many million bushels are an
nually produced, very much less of the
products must be thrown on the general
markets; and instead they must to a

Neither should be omitted the rearing
of the heavy draft horse, for the special
use to which he is so well adapted, as
he is of as great necessity as any do

would not be forgetful either of that

animal, the patient mule, whose vicious

of his being made to feel than man in his
common foe, than to any inherent dis
position on his part to be mean Just for
amusement. Perhaps it may not be the
most popular thing for an editor to
espouse the cause of the mule and
make this despised plebeian the
subject of his confidence, but from per-
sonal experience we do not hesitate to
proclaim that no domestic animal will
more promptly respond to gentle treat

MR.. CoNKLTNG last week was in
Washington, and, of course, spent hours
with President Arthur at the Jones man

intimate friends. A Washington CORES

On the whole, incline to think they
have been framing policies and laying
ont schemes of reform, which, in their
opinion, are to distinguish the new Ad-
ministratiOn, and win for it the conf
dence and support of good citizens. Mr.
Arthur has begun well in the Star
Route affairs. Similar abuses, unless
Mr.. Conkling has lost his integrity and
Mr., Arthur his common sense, will be
met in the same spirit, and the detected
criminals handed over to justice. If
these inquiries lead to unpleasant reve-
lations concerning the Treasury and
other departments, under the late Ohio
regime of fraud and hypocrisy, the re-
suit must be charged up, not to the
malice of faction, but to the spirit of
reform which has been raised by the
clamOr of Half Breed organs.
The wtiter also refers to Mr.. COnk-
Iing's recent declaration of opposition
to monopoly, and especially to the un-
Just, unlawful and extOrtiOnate exac-
tions of carrier corporations. The Presi-
dents annual message may indicate the
result of these conferences. We shall see.

THE BROWN WONDER.
The Little PAGER Tries Again to Beat the
Record of Mand S, But Against a Bad
Wind Only Comes Down to 2:12.

LOUISVILLE, Oct, 1.-The largest crowd
of the week, was at the fair to-day At
5 O'Clock Little Brown jug come on the
track for his third and last trial of the
week to beat the trotting record of Maud
S. A long salute of applause roared
along the start as he went by for little
warming up His running mate then
came on, and they come down from the
three-quarter pole together for a start.
When the gelding crossed the wire and
was given the word his small head was
lying straight out, and the pace
was Tremendous, While McCarty was
shouting encouragement every stride
Around the turn he flew as he had never
gone before on the track, and it was evil
dent that the half would be made in
quicker time than the day before. Around
the hill the flying PAGER and mate went
like as if they had wings. They passed
the half staff in thlrty-three seconds.
Down the fast back stretch two seconds
were sure to be saved and the brown
wonder was going in for it, when all at
once he made skip hundred yards from
the quarter pole and then broke all to
pieces. There was a murmur of disap-
pointment as the tremendous speed was
suddenly slackened and the gelding was
pulled into walk. 1t was no trial. They
came on around and from the distance
stand unrolled furious gait for another
effort The start was better than before
and great Siden Herber went around
the turn like wind Amid
the general hum of admirers
and astonishment he took the hard
climb of the hill to the quarter in 3231
seconds. Thence he sailed into the
stretch like an arrow, and with his feet
twinkling cut out space that made the
runner stretch HIMSELF and so they went
like wind, the PAGER with every mus
Gle strained to reach the fleet runner
whose head tantelized him by keeping
just in front. The half mile was covered
in LOS, and around the
home turn it was rush
like whirlwind, with the tired runner
pushing his best. AT the three-quarter
pole, however, which was passed in 1:3S,
both seemed to fag, and although they
came down with the dust flying severely,
the gelding's pace was heavy. AS he
passed under the wire in 2:12 he was
cheered to the echo, and his driver was
given cordial reception. If the animal
had not been pumped out on
the first quarter of the abortive start
he would in all probability have
done the mile second or more quicker
When he pulled up for the dismount,
McCarty was presented with very large
and handsome horse shoe of fine flowers,
which were land on the sulkv

MURDER AND MOB LAW.
BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Oct, IA long
list of bloody tragedies occurring in
Bloomington, eliminated tonight in a
double tragedy, that has filled the city
throughout with horror. About p. m.
jailer, Tad B. Franks, then in charge of
prisoners in Mclean county Jail, went to
the cell of one Pierce, young man, in
carcerated for stealing horse and buggy
some weeks ago, and awaiting trial. The
jailer took Pierce from the cell to
remove him to another. While he was
escorting him there Pierce suddenly
snatched Franks pistol from his belt and
fired three shots at him. One entered
his back, and as he wheeled around Pierce
fired the second shot, the ball striking
him in the shoulder, and then fired again,
the third ball piercing through his heart,
going clear through his body. The news
of the murder spread like wild fire, and by
s o'clock in the evening mob of 4, 900 or
5,000men surrounded the Jail. The officers
did all in their power to restore quiet,
but the mob broke into the Jail and pro-
cured Pierce. With a rope around his
neck the mob dragged him, amid the
greatest excitement, to tree near by and
lynched him. 1t was feared that Patsy
Dev;ne, in jail for the murder of Adam
Goodfellow, would suffer the same, but
the mob dispersed without touching him.
