TO WOrse.Owners and Drivers

The ordinary method of 'roughing' the
shoes. rs it is termed. consists in taking
them off the hoots. turning up a sharpened
calk, andpcrhaps adding sharp toe piece.
and putting them on again This is a slow
and expensive process, and of course re-
quIres the aid of the farrer either in the
stables or Mt the forge; it is very injurious
to the hoofs. takes Il good deal of time.
and in consequence of the projections be-
ing only soft iron. must be repeated ut
short intervals. Besides. in the hurry
which always exists at this time. the shoes
are often badly put on. and get loose or
are lost. or the nails are driven into the
quick.
This method consists merely in punch
ing a square hole at the end of each branch.
and. if thought desirable. at the toe of the
shoe. and inserting into it square. slight
~ tapering plug OF steel. with sharp
point projecting beyond the lower surface
of the shoe. The plug may be any rea>
enable length. from one to three inches.
but il must fit the hole somewhat accurate
ly and tightly. and must not go quite
through the shoe to the hoof. II may be
tempered ut the point to give it more du-
rability: and nothing more is necessary
than to insert it into the hole give it a
slight tap on the point to fix it. until the
horse puts his weight on it and drives it
home. when it is firmly retained. every
step keeping it tighter in. This stud rare
" falls out when properly made: and
when required to be removed. as to be re-
sharpened. replaced by another. or left
out altogether. few taps on each side
will generally start it. owing TO the taper
on that portion which fits into the shoe.
This is very inexpensive plan. An old
horse-yasp. value three-pence. will make
eighty two studs. and a farrier can furn-
ish these In an hour. 4 set of studs will
last four or five DAYS. and the simple
square hole takes but little time to punch.
At the commencement of the winter. saw
November. all the shoes put upon English,
troop horses are provided with these holes.
and the farriers have their studs ready.
Should the frost suddenly set in. all the
horses can be made proof against slipping
on sheet ice. even in few minutes, and
with good supply of studs. may travel
for weeks without going near forge, or
requiring the farrier. When the frost
disappears. the studs can be taken out
Nm. and they may be removed every
night in the stable. and inserted in the
morning before going to duty.

THE STAR ROUTE CASES.

Some we'll posted Eastern papers say
it will not require many more delays
and, postponements in the star route
cases to confirm the belief that the
prosecutions are not to be pushed to the
extent of hurting anybody, as with each
continuance the possibility of the
plunderers being punished grows more
uncertain. The cases were postponed
two weeks TO accommodate Colonel In
gersoll, counsel for the defense, and it
is thought that his motion to strike from
the record the information against
Brady and his gang will be granted.
George Bliss, ex-United States District
Attorney of New York, who has been
engaged to prosecute the cases, says he
is justified in stating that, from an ex-
animation of the evidence, the defend
ants have been guilty of great frauds
on the government. Another lawyer,
who is identified with the investigation,
says the amount of which the govern
ment has been defrauded is known to
be in the neighborhood eff So, 600, GEO.
Though the proof against the star
route ring, of which General Brady,
paid and swern officer of the govern
ment, entrusted with the letting of
mail contracts, appears to have been
the head, as convincing, as has been
conclusively shown by the records of
the department and the reduction made
in the expenditures since Brady was re-
moved, the chances are that, like the
suits against the whiskey thieves, the
corrupt officials will go unpublished,
though few of the lesser lights of the
ring may be convicted.

ANOTHER LUNAMC.

A crazy individual, who wants to
emulate Guiteaa, has made his appear
-ance in Washington. He showed him
self at the White House, and demand
ed admission, but his strange conduct
excited suspicion, and he was arrested.
He was armed with a seven barreled
pistol, and evidently determined to
shoot somebody. He was we'll dressed,
and was recognized by the door keeper
as a lunatic who called at the White
House last May, when he was sent
home to Pennsylvania. 1t has been
ascertained that he is DIR. John Notch
ling, of Colesville, Snyder county,
Pennsylvania, and that he has been at
hotel in Washington since the latter
part Of September. Like Guiteau. he
wants office, but not subordinate one,
as he claims to have been elected Presi-
dent of the United States, and shows
credentials to that effect signed by the
Almighty, and attested by the holy
Spirit.

ASTONISHED GERMANS.

now travelling through the country.
They are received with ovations in al
most every prominent city. At Chicago
they were welcomed by the Mayor,
who, although Kentucky born and bred,
delivered an eloquent address in Ger
man. This astonished the Won Steu-
bens almost as much as anything that
had occurred in their travels, as they
could scarcely conceive how a man
born in Kentucky Fifty years ago. and
educated in English-speaking schools,
could talk German SO fluently.

There Is vast amount of very
creslltable composition upon the part
Of the southern press in reference tc
the duty OF our people t0 devote less
attention to politics and more atlen-
tion Ia our industrial interest. Not a
single southern paper can De met
with but l. full Of facts and figlreS,
as 20 the great profit attaching 10
cotton manufacturing in the south
So far so good bur we must go far
ther. IL we have faith in what we
preach, we must show it Ia our own
works. Instead OF calling upon the
manufacturers of Fall River and
other places TO come south. and
make fortunes in cotton nanufact-
uring, let us put our own shoulders
to the wheel. One act, practically
eXeinplifying the truth Of our teach
ings, carries with II more weight
and influence than all the finestspun
theories. The simple truth is, we
are all induced to invest in the man
ufactories. None OF Us appear to be
prediSpOseti to make investments Of
our own. All recognize the fact
that cotton mills bring in population
and enhance the value of real estate,
far beyond the amount invested in
manufacturing EsVcry man, who
has. property is desirons that the re-
fiex influence Of these mills should
be thrown b elk upon the value of
his own property, but personally,
unwilling TO risk one dollar himself
in any manufacturing enterprise.
The simple truth is, that with all
our positive declarations to the con
trary, the southern people as whole
have no confidence i'm their own de
upon this subject. Ifthey
had, you would see companies or
ganized at once all over the south
and the espindles promptly put into
practical operation in every county
in the state. We suggest that
practical test be made in every coun-
ty in this state of the sincerity of
our declaration upon this subject.
Either let joint stock companies for
the purpose of manufacturing be
or let Us confess that our
upon this subject are
hollow, and merely designed TO de-
lude others to do that which we are
not willing to do ourselves. We
find eastern manufacturers prosper
ing in Georgia. Why Z? Because
Georgia has demonstrated in our
own work the profit of manufactur-
ing. Alabama and other southern
states must pursue like policy be-
fore they can hope to attract foreign
capital for manufacturing puposes.
An exemption from taxation for a |
limited period, OF capital sOinvest-
ed, will act as wonderful incentive /
in the establishment of manufacture
ing interest.

Buried MINES

Mr.. Charles r.. Bliss, in his brief
but interesting sketch Of New Mex

'EThe mineral wealth OF the terri
tory is believed TO be inexhaustfble.
The Span;ards, from the time they
entered the country in l542 10 the
time when the Indians rose against
them In 1880, were absorbed in lnin-
ing. They forced the native popu-
lalion into kind of bondage, and
kept thousands of them under Vigi-
liant task masters in sinking shafts,
traces Of which are now found in
various parts Of the territory. They
obtained immense amounts Of silver
and gold, and turquois. At length
their oppressions became SO calling
tliat the Indians rebelled, and after
a severe struggle the Spanlards were
driven out Of the country. Atthe
end OF 10 years they were permitted
To return only under a solemn COM
pact that mining should not be re-
sumed. The natives had meantime
flied up great many OF the mining
shafts, so that the location OF the
richest Of them is now unknown.
The Spaniards had no power, ia face
Of the watchful Indians, 10 reopen
the mines, and 80 turning their at
tention TO farming and grazing.
These mines remain as they were

senator Bailey.

Mr.. Bailey retired from the sena-
torial contest last Tuesday. This
action would have been more COM
mendable, had it been sooner taken.
1t is due him, however, TO say that
he desired to withdraw last week,
but was dissuaded from such a
course by his ardent but not alto
gether prudent supporters. Mr..
Bailey is not the man to make an
unseemly Scramble for office. AS
candidate he has deported himself
with becoming dignity. So much,
we regret to say, can not be said of
some of his opponents. Mr.. Bailey
should have been reelected. In fail
ing to return him to the United
States Senate, the state is the loser.
He is one of the ablest as well AS
one of the purest and best of our pub
lie men. But he could not be re-
elected. This fact was patent at the
outset. Prejudice demanded ii sac
Tifice of the state-credit democracy
which would be felt. Senator Bailey
is representative state-credit
democrat, who is not afraid to ex-
press his honest convictions. When
he saw the good name and honor OF
Tennessee endangered, he had the
courage and the patriotism to come
to her rescue. Without considering
how such a course would affect his
own political fortunes, he made a
strong anda manly effort to stay the
tide of popular error which threat
ened to involve his state in ruin.
While some others, who coveted his
seat in the senate, were endeavor-
ing to curry public favor, either by
pandering to popular prejudice, or
by shirking the responsibilities of
station and maintaining a crafty
silence, he raised his voice in the
advocacy of a correct state policy.
He believed at his duty to do this
much, and it was eminently proper
that he should do it. For such au-
dacity, his defeat was decreed. The
leaders OF the opposing party faction
demanded his retirement and they
had the power to prevent his elec-
tiOn. Their revenge may be sweet, |
but it is petty, and lacks every ele-
ment of the heroic.
We are glad Mr.. Bailey did not |
write one Of those elusive, trans
parent letters of withdrawal, which |
have become so common. His de- !
feat needed no explanation. II does
not affect his high standing as an |
able and pure minded statesman.
Under the circumstances it rather
rebounds to his credit.
