"YoU WOULDN'T BITE BLIND Boy ?'-
On one of the Michigan Central Railroad
trains, the other morning, an incident occur
red which created considerable merriment.
A blind boy who has the run of the cars for
the purpose of selling kpick-knacks, entered
the sleeping car, supposing all the inmates
were up and dressed. Walking through the
car, be passed his hand along the berth to
ascertain if they were occupied, when it fell
upon the face of sleeper whose hirsute COW
ering at once arrested the boys attention.
Stroking down the hairy coat the boy COM
menced with, "Here puppy here puppy !"
and other expressions of fondness which a
lover of the canine species would be likely
to indulge in. The disturbed sleeper partial
ly awoke under these manipulations, and
shaking his head, gave loud snort. The
boy jumped back in alright, yelling. "Get
out get out you wouldn't bite blind boy !!
take him off" without even yet comprehend
ing the truth. The passengers roared with
laughter, which did not at all subside when
the boy exclaimed, LA l thought it was a
puppy in the berth, and not a big bull dog !"

ABOUT EARLY RIsING.-There is not one
man in ten thousand who can afford to do
without seven or eight hours sleep. All the
stuff written about great men who sleep only
three or four hours at night is apocryphal.
They have been put upon such small allowance
occasionally, and prospered; but no man
ever kept healthy in body and mind for q
number of years with less that seven hours
sleep. If you can get to bed early, then rise
early. If you cannot 60 to bed until late,
then rise late. 1t may be as proper for some
men to rise at eight as it is for others to rise
at five. Let the rousing bell be rung at
least thirty minutes before the public appear
ance Physicians say that sudden jump
out of bed gives irregular motion to the pulse.
1t takes hours to get over sudden rising.

WONDERS OF BROOM CoRN.-Broom corn
is likely at no distant day to revolutionize
the breadstuffsupply of the world. A process
has been discovered by which the finest and
most delicious -four can be made from the
seed to the extent of one-half its weight, and
leave the other half a valuable food for
making beef and milk. The average yield
per acre is three hundred bushels, and in
many instances FIVE hundred bushels, or thirty
thousand pounds have been secured. Nor
does it exhaust the soil as Indian corn, from
the fact that it feeds from the deeper soil,
and assimulates it's food from a cruder state.
1t belongs to the same genus as the sweet
cane, commonly known as sorghum, which as
an article of food is growing rapidly in pub
lie esteem, and from the seed of which most
nutritious flour can be obtained.

WASH FOR OUTSIDE WALLs.-The inquir

WASH FOR OUTSIDE WALLs-The inquiry
is frequently made as 10 the best kind of cheap
paint or wash for ou'-buildings, having any
good degree of dur 4bility. The material
usually recommended is mixture with lime
as its base, which the experience of all par.
ties using it proves is short-lived, poorly re-
warding the time and expense of putting it
I have long used for whitening my walls
in my dwelling, and also for barns and sheds,
the following: Dry zinc, one pound; white
glue, one ounce, or in the same proportion OF
Ingredients for any quantity needed.
The zinc must be ground or pulverized, and
dissolved in water moderately hot, stirring
it thoroughly during this process. The glue
is to be dissolved in vessel by itself in the
usual manner, and the zinc mixture while yet
hot, stirring the same during the process and
for some little time Rfterward. The object
desired is a thorough admixture of the in
gradients. The preparation when, ready for
use, should be of the consistency of ordinary
whitewash. 1t is best applied with wide
brush. Walls treated with this mixture,
which have not been lined, will preserve a
pure white for several years, and will not
rub of: Twelve years since I applied this
mixture to my barn and sheds, and today it
is nearly as white as when first put on, and
cannot be rubbed of with the hand. If tint
ing or border is desired, 1 have no doubt
that slight admixture of lamp. black would
give leaden color. have not used it on a
newly dressed surface, and do not know wheth-
er it would adhere. A good quality of dry
zinc should be purchased for from six to
seven cents per pound Country Gentleman.

TURPENT1NE FOR BURNs.-After having
cut the blisters, if any exist, brush over with
oil of turpentine and cover it with thin
adhesive plaster linghtly bound on by roll
ing bandage. Let this dressing remain in
place for week.. In superficial burns there
will generally be no need to renew it. In
cases where matter forms, loosening the
plaster, cut this artificial blister as before,
and after the matter has escaped, apply the
turpentine again, and recover with plaster,
the exposed part. Continue this method un-
til healing is complete. The simple dressing
is attended with but little expense, and has
seemed to me to bring about the cure ofburns
more rapidly than other dressings The ap.
plication of turpentine is almost paiuless-an
advantage worthy of consideration in the
treatment Of wound as painful as a burn.
The efficiency of this method is due to the
association of the turpentine, the plaster, and
the bandage. The turpentine lessons the
formation of matter, prevents modification,
and hastens cicatrization. The plaster forms
a temporary epidermis, which protects the
wound from the air; and by the compression
which it exerts by means of the bandage pre-
vents inflammation, or at least lessons its
intensity.

ious institutions. The direction of the Bible
on this subject is decidedly clear and positive
Honor all. Love the brotherhood. Fear
God. Honor the King"
Children honor their father and mother by
obeying their commands. By what we may
safely call an instinct of our nature, we all,
for at least portion of our lives, regard our
parents as perfect. 1t is only by observation
that we discover that our parents are capable
of doing or saying anything that is wrong.
Unfortunately, many parents too often give
their children unmistakable evidence of their
fallibility. They make promises and never
fulfill them, and utter threats which they
never execute. The fearful result is that chill
dren soon cease to have implicit confidence in
the truthfulness of their parents The COM
hands of parents should be reasonable, and
children, by obeying such commands, honor
their parents. One of the characteristics of
nearly every child is to come to the conclusion
that all the commands of its parents are un.
reasonable. At an astonishingly tender age
boys and girls begin to suspect the correctness
ofthe judgment of their parents. They learn,
as if by intuition, more in few years than
their parents have been able to learn in a
long life of observation. Every child which
immodestly sets its opinions up in opposition
to those of its parents, is violating the fifth
commandment. All violations of the fifth
commandment are abominably ugly in the
sight of all sensible persons, and desperately
wicked in the sight of God. Rarely does it
turn out that any good comes of the child
that dishonors its father or mother Usually,
it comes to bad end. There is but little
hope for the boy who has no honor to bestow
upon his mother. His tender mercies are
cruel. His heart is destitute of natural affec-
tions. Nothing but the strong arm of the
law and the restraining providences of God,
will prevent him from perpetrating the most
horrid crimes. Generally, such boys come to
an untimely end and an ignominious death.
On the other hand, We are safe in saying that
there is always hope for the boy who cherish
es an ardent love for his mother, and is ever
ready to bestow upon her that honor to which
she is Justly entitled on account of the fact
that she is his mother. The heart of such a
boy is not dead. He may be wild and reck-
less, but so long as he continues to love his
mother, there is hope that he will reform.
Let every boy and girl remember that the
foundation of all social greatness is based on
keeping the fifth commandment.

Epidemic Among the Horses.

A large number of the work and road horses
of the city are suffering from az epidemic dis
ease, number of deaths having already oc-
Cured. The veterinaries do not entirely agree
as to the cause of the epidemic, but the mode
of treatment in essential features are nearly
identical. The animal is effected with swell
ing of the hind legs, gradually extending to
the body, dropping of the upper eye lids and
running at the eyes, stiffness, and general
weakness, in all respects resembling what
used to be called among the farmers when we
were boy, "pink-eye." At the first appear
ance of swelling of the hinder parts the horse
should be stopped from all work, and of
course, if not something of horse doctor, a
veterinary should be called in. There is no
danger if work is stopped upon the
first appearance of the swelling, proper reme-
dies are applied and the horse well cared for.
This course pursued, the horse will, as a rule,
begin to recover in three or four days, but no
attempt should be made to work him, when
the case is at all severe, for ten days or two
weeks, as the disease is very weakening, and
any over exertiOn when the animal is cOnva-
lescing is liable to bring on a second attack,
which is almost invariably more severe than
the first. Rest and good care are indispensa-
BILE. If improvement does not begin to mant
fest itself in forty eight hours don't delay, but
call in the best veterinary advice. Prompt and
thorough treatment is then necessary to save
the animals life. But don't work your horse
a moment after the symptoms above noted
manifest themselves.

A handsomely finished portrait of ex-Gov.
Marshall adorns the show window OF HOugh's
bookstore. The portrait is faithful and life
like to the subject, and is from the easel of the
talented artist Mr.. Carl Guthenz.
A very drunk and Timber individual stretched
his lank form on the sidewalk at Bridge
Square yesterday morning and arranged for a
snooze. Officer Palmer spoiled the combina-
tion by waltzing him to the cooler.
Yesterday afternoon terribly budged indi-
vidual tried 10 get up circus on his own ac-
count by turning double summersault from
a platform in the rear of Fred Oelker's sa-
loon. He fell about twelve feet and was pick
ed up quite sober by Officer Bob Palmer, who
trundled the acrobat to the tower.
The attention of early pedestrians on Broad
way street near the engine house yesterday
morning, was attracted to a large pool Of
blood which defaced the sidewalk for some
distance The gore had been freely spilled and
gave rise to considerable speculation. Rn-
mors were abroad of fight in lower town
during the night between railroad men, and
the affair should be Investigated by the po-
lice.
A boy is a boy, and being such he Is in duty
bound to manifest at intervals his inborn spirit
of pure cussedness. Yesterday afternoon, as
the young son of Lawyer Thompson was rid
ing down Chestnut street he attracted the at.
tention of another small boy named Drake,
who proceeded to pelt the young horseman
with stones. One of the missiles took effect,
striking young Thompson on the head and
creating painful scalp wound. He fell from
his pony and was assisted by bystanders.
1t is remarkable the extraordinary amount
of perdition that be eliminated from few
scruples of tanglefoot when backed by the
right kind of subjects. This was vividly set
forth yesterday afternoon by the conduct OF
couple of wild Bohemians who lushed up on
the stuff and circus cnsued that aroused a
whole neighborhood. The brace of bullies
visited Sheehey's saloon, Third and CONNER
cial streets, where they at once manifested q
desire to fight. They were accommodated and
an internal ruction ensued which brought out
the people for mile around. There was a
harvest of black eyes and the like but no one
was seriously hurt. The bruisers were yanked
in by officers Zirkelbach and De COrsey.

he was sent ahead TO make the running for his
stable companion, Passaic. Notwithstanding
this the latter never caught up again with
him in the race, and he finished good sec.
ond. On May 6, at the same meeting, lroquois
won the Newmarket stakes, Ditch mile. On
the 1st day of June he won the famous Epson
Derby, which was worth above $2S, 900. beat
ing Peregrine and field of fourteen starters.
At Ascot, June IA, he won the Prince Of Wales
stakes, for 3-year-olds, one mile and five fur
long, sbeating field of six. This stake was
worth $4,000. At the same meeting, June
16, he won the st. James Palace stakes, for
3.year.olds, one mile, beating Leon, and
Wednesday he won the st. Leger. His next
public appearance will probably be in the Cesar
witch-another of the commanding English
events-two miles, two furlongs and twenty
eight yards, to be run at Newmarket October
II, in which he is handicapped at III pounds,
which is one pound less than Robert the
Devil was handicapped last year. His St.
Leger victory under the conditions of the
Cesarwitch, gives him no added weight. The
top weights for the Cesarwitch are: Robert
the Devil, 1876 pounds; Bend Or, l32 pounds,
ard Peter, 131 pounds.
