A TOUGH HORSE STORY.

The Cincinnati Enquirer lately published the following horse story, which we give just as it appeared: "A curious instance of sagacity in the horse occurred recently in the stables of Mr. A. Toughman, situated on North Elm street. MT. T. has for long time been in the habit of using ST. JACOBS OIL, the Great German Remedy, in his ex- tensive stables Among MT. ITS many horses is great, powerful Canadian draught horse This animal in course of time got so that that he knew the ST. JACOBS OIL bottlevery we'll so well, in fact, that one day recently on MT.

survey to his licking work, turned his head and caught up with his teeth from the box used as its receptable bottle of ST. JACOBS OIL. He threw the bottle on the floor with violence enough to break it, and then deliberately licked up the ST. JACOBS Or and applied it to the cut. Readers, we have seen the laws of association belied by beings with less sense than Toughmans horse. The word has passed among us, and when we see man who won't try the Oil, we say, He is worse than Toughmans horse" To many this may appear as very tough story; and were there not proofs innumer- able of the efficacy of the Great German Remedy they would be justified in SC designatingit. The testimony, however, is plentiful and pointed, and is from people whose long experience in matters apper- taining to horseaesh entities their opinions to profound consideration and respect.

Miscellaneous News from the Ma
tiOna1 Capital.

WASHINGTON, May 2.-The cons
nit ee appointed by the Republican
caucus l'-3t week to prepare a plan
of action In regard to the comtem-
plated holding of executive sessions
reached an agreement to-day. The
commi Tee will recommend to the
caucus tomorrow morning that the
executive sessions be he held forth
with for the transaction of business in
the following orders: FIRST, to refer to
the appropriate committees all the
nominations uoW on the table.
Second, to take up for final action
the various treaties which now await
ratification, and next, to consider all
the uninterested nominations areapy
reported or that may herereafter be
reported from the Senate com>
mittees. The report will not
take the ground that no other
nominations should be considered
during the present session, but that the
programme of business for the pres
ent should be restricted in this man
ner. The report, if adopted by the
caucus, will probably result in the
holding of an executive session to-
morrow afternoon.

Serious Apprehensions.

ST. LOUIS, May 2.-Very serious
apprehensions are beginning to be
felt for the safety of property along
the river front. The water is now
nearly a foot and a half above the
danger line, and still rising. The
low land south of Chanton avenne
and east of the high embankment of
the Iron Mountain Railroad, is sub
merged The Messer Iron Works, on
the eastern side of the river, oppo~
site Carondelet, are surrounded by
water, and have suspended opera
tions, though there is not any imme~
diate danger. South of this,
however, IN that portion of the
city occupied by the Union Stock
Yards and the great lumber interest,
there is much trouble In East St.
Louis there is greet danger of a
general oVeif w. Cahokia Creek,
which runs through the town. is
oVerfowed from backwater, and a
great extent Of country in the neigh
borhood of Brooklyn and Ven ce.
Two small towns north of East St
Louis is submerged, causing many
families to abandon their homes
Water is also encroaching on the
National Stock Yards, but It has not
reached it yet, nor has the business
of the yards been interfered with.
Much of the bottom further inland
over toward the bluffs is said to be
inundated, and the growing crops
destroyed. All the roads are
strengthening their tracks and pros
tectlng their property, but a few
inches more rise in the water will
cause great damage and much inter
ference to business, and possibly
suspension OF traffic on some of the
roads.

DenlOcraGIc Plan.

Special to the Cincinnati Commercial
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The Demo
cratic Senators have held several
quiet consultations among themselves
during the past few days, with a view
to coming to an understanding as to
the future policy of the Democratic
leaders in reference to Republican
complications. They all agreed upon
one thing, and that is to take all pos
sible advantage Of the lack Of har~
mony among the Republican, leaders.
A leading Democratic Senator tells
your correspondent that they intend
to cultivate the Republican quarrel
for all it is worth. Hence the action
of the Democratic Senators upon i'm
portant nominations will be guided
more by desire to hurt the Repub-
lican party than to advance the pub
lie good. When an important nomi-
nation come up the question with the
Democrats will not be as to the fit
ness of the man nominated for the
position, bat what effect will his con-
frnation or rejection have upon the
misunderstanding " between Sena~
tor Conkling and his friends, and
the President? The position of the
Democratic Senators on these ques,
tiOns is a sad commentary on party
politics. They are willing to confirm
or reject nominations as may seem
most likely to stimulate a quarrel
among Republicans! TO what base
use, &c.
1--WE would be great fools, said a
Democratic Senator, in conversation
upon this subject, "if we did not
make something out of the woful
unhappiness among the Republican
leaders. They are in pretty stew,
at best, and if we can help them into
a prettier one, all right.

The WIaely Advertise indignation
Meeting at Lebanon.
Plenty Of People in Town, but NoI
Enough of Indignation,
Wilson County, Though Not En-
tirely Satisfied, Accepts the
Result.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 2.

Special dispatch to the EaeBahon EaEaanhieolnn special
says: The low tax indignation meet
ing extensively advertised to be
held here to-day, to express the
(" burning wrath of an outraged and
own-trodden people concerning the
infamous bartering of their rights
by corrupt Legislature failed to
materialize. There were plenty OF
people in town, but there wasn't
enough of indignation to get
up meeting. In fact the people
of Wilson county are busy with their
own affairs, and, while not altogether
satisfied with the settlement of the
debt, regard it as fnality, and are
not disposed to encourage any fur
ther agitation on the subject. They
have had enough of pol tics to last
them for some time, and have very
little leisure or disposition to listen
to speech-making. Peripathetic pos
litical evangelists had as well give US
wide berth hereafter.

A WASHINGTON special to the ClnN
cinnati Commercial says of the Star
route scandal:
Although the Star route scandal is
garrished up and made to look fresh
and lively, there is really nothing
in it more than was before Congress
when the matter was investigated a
little over one year ago. But 1t did
not seem to take hold Of the pubic
mind then as now. The newspapers
had far less to say about it, although
their avenues of information were as
good then as now, in fact, little
better, for it is now some trouble to
dig among the dusty records OF the
Capitol for the evidence taken before
the Congressional committees. The
tables of expedited routes, &c,
teIegraphed from here, at cOnsidera~
bic expense, have been in print in
Congressional documents more than
a wear.
