Washington, fisherman, from

Dor, reported the bill to aid i'll the

and recommitted. 1t provides that
for the next five years there shall be
annually appropriated a common
school fund of $l0,000,000, to aid in
the support of free common schools,
apportioned to the several states and
territories, according to the number
of their illiterate population over
10 years Of age. An amount not ex-
ceeding 5 per cent. of the sum APP
portiOned may be used for the educa-
tion of teachers in public schools.
Price, from the committee on
public lands, reported back adj
Yersely the bill to shorten to two
years the period required in home
stealing. Tabled.
The House resumed consideration
of the Geneva award bill.
After discussion the previous
question was ordered, but without
further action the matter went over.
Steele, of Indiana, from the COM
mittee on military affairs, reported
bill authorizing retired list tor
non-commissioned officers Of the
army who have served continuously
for period of ten years. Commit

son Day, for a lot in New Orleans.
purchased by him under the confs-
cation act.
The bill for intermediate appellate
courts was further discussed by
George.
Jones (Fla.) moved an amendment
providing mainly for the preserva-
ton of the right of appeal from the
district to circuit courts, as at present.
Morgan explained, by reference to
the existing laws, that the bill en-
tirely cut off appeals and the writ
of error to the Supreme Court from
circuit courts, as to any sum from
$50 to $500. No bar of the south or
west had asked for the measure. but
he did not wonder the New York
bar had been heard from in its be-
half, because it was a bill in the in
teTest of the creditor as against the
debtor class. He said it had been
bruited about on the floor that the
President of tie United States had
committed himself, in the event of
the passage of the bill, to appoint a
number of democrats to new judg-
ships. He (MOrgan) spurned such
overtureS, and was not to be seduced
from his duty b. such appeals to
his party in fealty.
Dawes and IDgalls here interpOSed
and criticised the statement just
made from the former, asserting
that those who had been the origin
ators Of any negotiations with the
President Of the kind indicated by
Morgan, and those who had been
parties to it, deserved to be i'm
peached by the Senate.
The amendment of Jones (Fla.)
was rejected, yeas II, nays 29,
and several amendments Of
fered by George and Morgan were
lost by nearly the same vote, DEM
.ocrats voting yea and republicans
with Davis, of Illinois, in the neg
alive.
Dan amendment was adopted q
motion of Davis, of Illinois, proVid-
ing more explicitly that the juris-
dictiOn Of the circuit court shall be
either enlarged or abridged.
After an Intellectual effort to dis
pose of the bill unanimous consent
was secured for a final vote upon it
tomorrow.
The conference report on the In
dian appropriation bill was sub
mitted. The total has been reduced
by the conference $445,266. The
report was cOncurred in and the bill
passed.

Carrots as Food for Horses.

A correspondent of long experience
calls our attention to the following ex-
tract from the London Lire Stock Jour
nal, adding that he has himself fed car
rots to cart and other horses for thirty
years with good results, as hundreds of
others have also done throughout the
Eastern States, and that he has never
heard of any injury from their use:
We do not entirely agree with those
who maintain that the carrot is the most
wholesome and nOurishing food which
can be given to horses. The carrot, says
II Horticulture, is excellent when en-
ployed as a tonic for old horses in order
to purify and strengthen the blood; but
its use is dangerous for young horses,
and especially for stations. 1t gives
them too much blood; makes them nerv-
Gus, irritable, spiteful or vicious when
at work, and predisposes them to apo
plectic fits if they do not take enough
exercise. Geldings and mares might
not be particularly liable to inconven-
fence of this nature; nevertheless, in all
cases carrots should be given with the
greatest moderation to horses of less
than ten years of age. For horses past
this age they may be harmless; and with
oats, may constitute a valuable article
of food. Horses eat them with avidity,
especially when they are mixed with
coarse bran. This diet gives horses new
blood, which seems to restore their
youth.
Unfortunately, the carrot is not to
be had all the year round. We need
not regret this. however. An article of
food the effect of which is so powerful
is only valuable when employed for
time. Its prolonged use is of no good;
for the body can get accustomed TO
everything. even to the most violent
medicines. The carrot might be very
appropriately called the regenerator OF
old wOrn-out horses. A horse which
has been improperly treated, is fatigued.
thin and exhausted, improves visibly
when fed upon this generous diet. But
if those who have the care of the animal
are not careful to let it take regular ex-
ercise, or to take a little blood from il,
or. better still. administer a strong pur-
gative, they viii find that. just when the
embonpoint and vigor begin to be no.
ticeable, the horse is seized with apo
plexy. and perishes, Just when it APP
peared to be completely made over
again, and fit for work.

Rer Two Happiest Years.

Hae's a story told me yesterday.
About thirty years ago Judge Cincin-
natus Peeples-bless his genial memo
ry!-found it necessary to order tam
ner out Of his law Office in Hall County.
The tanner was q poor, shiftiess fellow
named Wilson, and shortly after drifted
to Atlanta, where tie secured work at
fifty cents per day. In 1868 Judge Peo-
pies went to New York on important
financial business for the State. He was
directed to the CREST banking house Of
r. II. Wilson e. Co. He sent in his card,
and after waiting b while was ushered
into an elegant Office. A fine-looking
man introduced himself as Wilson, and
reminded the Judge that he was the
poor tanner that he had ordered out of
his Office many years ago. Judge
Peoples, thoroughly astonished, never
dreamed that this ex-tanner was the
head of the bank, but thought he was
related to the proprietor and had
