ISt. Louis Republican,

IT is very rare that the Republican consents
to ediiorialiy forward the interests OF adver-
tisers of what are known as pateut medicines,
as it does not frequently fall out that we can
have positive knowledge of their merits.
However. we take pleasure in saying of st.
Jacobs Oh from individual experiment, that
it is most excellent remedial agent, and as
such We can heartily recommend it.

Crib-BiIing.

THIS very unpleasant habit is not so
serious defect as many writers and
practitioners would have US believe. The
producing causes of crib-biting are vari-
ous. 1t is often the result of imitatiDga
companion standing in the adjacent stall
who has acquired the habit. In many
instances it is in consequence OF keeping
the animal standing in his stall from day
to dav. The highly bred and spirited
horse, when fed liberal quantities of sue
culent and nourishing food, must be in
some mischief when his time Is not en-
ployed. 1t is caused in some instances
in Young colts by partial starvation, or
by not keeping sufficient provender be-
fore the animal when confined IN
the stable to allow him to pick it over
at will. In consequence of this neglect
in his stable management, he acquires
the habit of cribbing on the manger. IL
is also the result of feeding unsound and
consequently unpalatable diet, which no
horse will eat unless forced to it from
starvation. Lastly, it is occasionally
caused by the groom dressing his spir-
tied charger in his sal or other narrow
compartment connected with his stable,
where he can at will bite on the parti-
ton walls located on either side of him
and this biting at anything within reach
may often be observed in a spirited and
nervous horse when the brush or rub
bling cloth is applied to his body or legs
by his groom. In the early stage of the
acquired habit of crib biting, rubbing
common yellow bar-soap on the top of
the managerial daily will often prove an
efiicacious remedy, or mailing fresh
sheepskin. flesh side up, on the top and
outside edge of the manger will have the
same effect. But when the acquired
habit of crib-biting is firmly established
there is no radical cure for it. Ali that
can be accomplished is to prevent it,
which can be done in either of the fol-
lowing ways: First, buckle a strap one
inch wide right round the neck; this |
will compress the windpipe and prevent |
the possibility of its action, which is re-
quired before the horse can exercise his |
acquired habit of cribbing. But the |
strap to be effective must be constantly |
worn, and its constant pressure upon the |
windpipe is very liable to produce a
worse affection, viz, an active irritation
in the last-named organ, which evidently
must terminate in roaring; second, by
removing the manger entirely and let
ting the animal pick his provender off
the floor, feeding him his grain food out
of nose-bag, mailbag sheet-iron the full
width on the four sides of his stall, COM
mencing two and a half feet from the
floor and letting it extend upward;
third, by placing on him bar-muzzle
made of strong wire, with the bars sufii-
GENTLY wide apart to allow him to pick
his hay but not to crib. This should be
worn constantly when standing, except
when removed to place the nose-bag on
his head.-N. Y. World.

TIE 1xrEnxAL nAcmINEs.

The discovery OF some internal ma
chimes secreted on board of some English
vessels, has caused great terror to the
British Government and people. The
English have traced the manufacture Of
these Internal machines to certain parties
in the United States. The American man
ufacturers claim the same right to make
these terrible torpcdoes that others have
to make guns, pistols, powder, &c, and
assert that they are working under orders
from certain responsible parties, who it
is said, represent the United Society
Of Irishmeu and the Fenians These
Irishmen represent themselves in state
of war with England. and claim to be
justified in destroying English ships in
this way. They claim to have already
destroyed millions aud millions of dol
lars eff English property and that they
will ultimately drive every English ship
from the seas. England complains, and
thinks the United States ought to stop
the manufacture of these torpedoes.

CITY subscribers To County
KBHaRRra

Every established local newspaper re-
ceives subscriptions from largo cities,
which puzzle the publisher to account for,
but which the New York Times lately
throws some light upon in the following:
A Wholesale grocer in this city who has
become rich in the business, says his rule
was when he sold bill Of goods on cred
it to Immediately subscribe for the local
paper of his debtor So long as his Gus
toner advertised literally and vigorously
he rested, but as soon as he began TO con-
tract his advertising spaee he took the
fact ms evidence that there was trouble
ahead, and invariably went for his debt
Said he: "rhe man who is TOO poor to
make his business known is too poor to
do business
Tho Withdrawing an advertisement is
evidence of weakness that business men
are not slow to act upon.

fact, there was no real issue, and hence a
fair choice was strictly personal. The

in the race, but the positions assur~d by

it is no doubt true that these charges
caused the snti-option or "Whisky men

anti-option vote, added to the strict tenn

Luton because OF such charges, was the
vote that elected him. The temperance

HUMOROUS ELECTION WAGER.

~ W A
good one is told on prominent Vaughn
man of the Clinton precinct, which is given
us as true, but for fear of mistake we
suppress names. The said Vaughn man
was the hardest worker and most enthusi-
astic electioneerer for his man in the two
counties, and made Vaughn's cause intense
ly his own. He was laboring TO pursuade
an undecided voter, and argued that Vaughn
would carry the Clinton precinct by 200
votes. The undecided voter proposed to
him that If Vaughn was so votes ahead at
4 o'clock he would vote for Vaughn on con-
dition that if Vaughn was not, the enthu-
elastic worker was TO change over and vote
for Luton. The Luton men caught the
proposition, and made both abstain from
voting until the appointed hour. AT that
time they had wheelbarrow prepared to
carry the loser TO the polls, and as the fig-
ures showed against Vaughn, the enthusi-
astic worker was wheeled over to the court
house, and, amid the cheers of the Luton
men, cast his vote for Luton, in spite OF all
his campaign work for the other man.
