Mr.. and Mrs. John G. Collins, residing
at III East Ninth street, are astonished,
almost dismayed, at remarkable peculi-
arity only lately observed in her son,
boy ten years old. The boy is healthy
one, with nothing odd in his appearance
except that close observers might con-
slider his head disporportionately large
He attends lower-town Catholic school,
and in school appears as a rather bright
scholar, but without particularly studious
habits a stout ten.year-old boy,
with boys inclination for play and mis-
chief, but quick to learn when he has to
study. The popularity is that the boys

Knives, pins, needles, bottoms, ETC.,

not be shaken off. Still MORE the at
traction is so strong that common coal
scuttle can be lifted by it, and heavier
implements have been lifted by stronger
persons taking hold of his arm. With
heavy articles, however, the boy COM

The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1881-06-11

The fight between Brooks and Love,
miners, at jacksonville, o., was . savage
and premeditated duel. They fell out
while at work in the mine, and agreed
to meet next morning, armed with re-
volvers. A crowd gathered at the APP
pointed time and place, and nobody at
tempted to heal the quarrel, while par
tisans of the antagonists melted them to
the encounter. Brooks fired first, and
the bullet passed through loves body.
"Give it to him back, Love-" cried one
of loves friends, and Brooks received q
wound in the breast. The spectators
yelled like factions at prize fight, and
the combatants kept on firing until the
revolvers were emptied. Both men
were MORALLY wounded.

Contraction Of the Foot.

Contraction of the foot, and more
particularly of the hsel freqaently oe,
ours among hors6s.N i'm sconseguenee of
which lameness is almost invariably the
result. When its existence is Of long
standing perfect eradication cannot
be accomplished. It appears gradually
and therefore its progress should always
be arrested IN the very earliest stage Of
the attack. The direct primary causes
of contraction of the feet are: First, q
weak and defective horn. both in thick
ness andstrength; second. want of moist
ure and nutriment or nourishment;
third. bad shoeing; fourth, internal dis
ease Of the lamine, and lastly, any
alteration Of the structure of the feet
will produce contraction Especial
causes: Neglect and oversight in pairing
the sole properly and the too frequent
lowering or cutting away of the bars of
the foot and heels and then burning
with hot iron. Treatment: When this
disease of the feet is first developed the
shoes should be removed and the animal
turned out on pasture and given long
rest from either work, driving or riding;
in very many cases this treatment will
prove efficacious. But If this removal
of the shoes and turning out are neg
lected until after considerable lameness
is manifested, the case is hopeless so far
as eradication is concerned. Innumer-
able methods of treatment have been
adopted by empires who put their
quack nostrums in the market as sure
cures for contracted, feet. corns. ring
bones. spavins, ETC.. but none of which,
however, have accomplished more than
a temporary relief. The greater num-
Der of these nostrums have aggravated
the cases and produced an increased
lameuess and added to the iameness
cruelty. barbarity and excruciating pain
and suffering for the animal. All this
is done with the best motives and 1T .

balls, local bleeding, pairing the
heels and toes of the feet, rasping the
quarters. scoring the toes, applications
of wet cloths and spreading machines
have al been largely indulged in and
practiced, combined with rest for six
months and perhaps one year; but you
will please note the necessary rest was
not granted the animal until he had be-
come so lame as to be unfit for nse.
Hence the treatment has caused much
pain and suffering to the patient and at
the expense of its owner, but without
being in the least effective or satisfsss-

mental existence. She plans and cir
cumveEts, and devotes her thoughts
and talents to bringing about whatever
scheme she has set her heart upon, no
matter whether the pulses of her victims
beat in unison with the wish or not.
She has not only the satisfaction of feel

She is never in want of heroes and her
Dimes, of cruel parents and miserly rel

Sersone from real life. The matchmaker
is often the mother of q large FAM

sees that good marriage is their only
deliverance from want, hardship and
dependence in the future; it Is usually

is the chiidless aunt who takes the role,
who has nothing else to do but to look
after the matrimonial prospects OF
nephews and nieces. whose house is a

wrecks; or ii is the kindly old maid,
whose highest ambition is to endow
other women with the love and protec-
ton she has missed, whose sentiment
has outlived q great deal of rough
weather. Occasionally we meet the
masculine type, who bungles at the
business, frightens both parties, and
only succeeds in driving his clients
into marrying contrary to his wish. No
doubt it is wiser that ''love should find
out way" without any aid from an
outsider; that it should be spontaneous,
and not suggested by another; and
though in most foreign countries what
we call matchmaking, or holder form
of it, is the general custom, where nc

New York is marking the period of it's

A SailOr's Life at Sea.

In an article upon the general features
of n sailors life, published in the Boston
Commercial Bulletin, the writer says:
After the pilot leaves the vessel at the
mouth of the harbor, the captain assumes
command, then officers and crew begin
to understand each other. In olden
times it was customary for the crew and
officers to make this day the decisive ono
as to whether the officers or men were to
"take chnrgen
The most triAing act indicative of in
subordination on the part of the crew, or
the first harsh word from an officer, was
sufficient to throw call hands" into
tumult--as the result Of this fresh battle
determined the character of the rule
throughout tho voyage. Heaven help
the officers who are overwhelmed by the
turbulence of the crew in this, their first
encounter. For while the men dare not
openly disobey the orders from their Of
ticers, they will contrive to render their
obedience in such manner as to cause
their unfortunate mate the greatest
chagrin. "." ,.., >.
