SATURDAY EVENING, JUNE "a, 1882.

THE ASSERTION is made in some quarters
that should the democrats agree to support
Mr. Massey for Congressman at large many
other democrats will not vote for him.
Well, for whom will they vote? His OPP
ponent, General Mahone's nominee, Mr..
John Wise? Mr. Massey always was and
says he always will be a democrat. Mr..
Wise is the candidate Of the man who, to
advance his own selfish interests, has
wrought dissensiOn and trouble i'll the dem
ocratic party; who bargained with the re-
pub!icans and gave them the control of the
L. S. Senate, and whose boldly avowcd pur-
pose is to defeat the democratic party who
has removed every democrat who held Il
State or federal office in Virginia; who tried
10 so reapportion the State as to give eight
of the ten districts to men who will! oppose
the democrats in Congress, and Mr.. Wise
endorses all he has done and will support
him in all he proposes to do. Men may
vote for Mr.. Wise in preference to Mr.. Mas
sey, but they are not democrats, and il is IL
silly prctcnsc for them to assert that they
are and when they ascribc their proposed
support Of Wise to the proposed democratic
support of Massey it looks very much rs if
they had been looking for an excuse to
adopt Mahoncism and had seized the first one
they found without examining lis suifiicncv.

Tannsc Acid by Dsaiysis. -Kohlransch

have been dissolved in lye, they reach all
parts of the surrounding liquid and reacn

fibers, while part of it is deposited between
them. This action is an uninterrupted
one, and is repeated "a long as the noers
are able to take up more tann.c acid, Oh
the solution to give up more. From these
considerations Kohlrausct concluded that,
not only does the tsnnIn GET into the hide

AT Msrshheld, in 1850, a BRICK mansion

numerous cases of trains blown of rails.
and bridges, etc., blown down by gales of

the examples the lowest force reauiree to

Rev. G. A. Harvey, d. D., is the pop
ular financial secretary of Howard Uni
versity, and is specially fitted to Judge OF
merit and demerit. In recent letter from
Washington he said: 81 have for two
years past been acquainted with the remedy
known as Warmers Safe Kidney and
Liver Gre, and with Its remarkable cura-
tive eff ;iency in obstinate and so-called
incurable cases of Bright's disease in this
city, In some of these cases, which seem-
ed to be in the last stages, and which had
been given up by practitioners OF both
schools, the speedy change wrought by
this remedy seemed but little less than
miraculous I am convinced that for
Bright's Disease in all its stages, including
the first symptoms, which seem Sd slight
but are so Dangerous, no remedy hereto
fore discovered can be held for one moment

A correspondent from Iexss says al Big
Springs commenced oDe CT the surprising
snd interesting portions Of my journey.
From here westward fer hundred miles
stretches out the great Llsnc Estacsdo, or
Staked Pl-ins Of our Biographies, a sup
posed desert, treeless aud wateriess. l
,sould express the wish that it may take
its place with the '-Great American Des-
ert'' among the geographical myths. In
point OF fact, il is an elevated, rolling
table land, rising gradually towards its
centre, where il attains hight of zoOV 10
5000 feet above the sea level. 1t has rich
prairic soil, and is covered with luxurl-
ant growth of grass. The lockout for
water supply is not, at first sight, promis-
ing. there being throughout all It's extent
absolutely no running water. ana when
the railway engineers reached this portion
of their work they were prepared to en-
counter the dearih of water as the chlei
difficulty they had TO contend with. Inns
anticipation was dissIpated with the nrst
well they sunk, for an abundance OF water
was struck at distance of forty feet De
low the surface. Since then every well
sunk has yielded the same result, ana the
division of the rosd over the Staked Plains
to day has the best water supply on tie
whole line. 1t seems that the whole
c. untry is honeycombed with subterran
can watercOurses, the wells reaching
water at depth varying from thirty lee'
to little over fifty IN one instance. Inc
water is good, SOFT, clear water, and tht
wells all through the severe drought ol
this fall have gwen ho sign OF any failure
in supply. So far rs observation has ex-
tended. 1t has shown that the rainfall Oh
the plains is quite as heavy as, II not
heavier than, in eastern Texas.
Another genuine surprise was in store
for us on the .'plalns." Last June and
July, when the road was under construc
uon, the camps of graders and construc'
ton men were pitched on the ground clost
to the right of-way, and in feeding theii
stocks portions of com, oats and barley
had been split on the ground 1t ha>

that measured al least four feet IN helght
with full sized ears upon them- Ia short,
it is a country that is capable OF becoming

blilty be very successful. The plains ar'
the range OF immense herds OF antelope
and occasional buffalo, and marveliou
stories were told US OF their racing In

AGRiCULTCRE.

tARcY.-Among the causes of tarcy in
horses may be mentioned foul air in close
and i'll ventilated stables, privatious, bad
food, incubation or contact with glander-
ed herses. Some chronic and aebilItating
diseases may result in farcy and glanders.
Farcy and glandeIs are twin dise.sss, or
identical, and either of these two forms of
disease generally terminates with both
forms fully developed. Farcy affects the
superficial lymphatic glands and vessels,
showing itself in painful, corded swellings
on various parts of the body, neck, head
or limbs, especially between the hind legs.
Gradually the small tumols, which are
termed farcy buds, suppurate, and dis
charge unhealthy looking matter, and the
ulcers show little or no tendency to heal.
Treatment of farcy can only be recommen-
ded IN the beginning of The disease. When
far advanced an animal, affected with such
loathsome and contagious disezse, had
better be deftroyed, both for the sake Of
safety to other horses as well as for pt rsons
who are Obliged to handle them. The
treatment of farcy should be both external
and internal. To the farcy ulcers apply
either strong solution of chloride of lime
or carbolic acid. Internally give half a
dram, twice daily, of iodide of COPPER OF
iodide of iron, with half an ounce of gen
tain root. An ounce of aloes, with half an
ounce of saltpeter, may be gwen every
fortnight. Good, nourishsng food, in lib
eral quantity, daily exercise and attention
to cleanliness are also essential Such hor.
ses should be kept separate from others.
and the stable utensils, vessels for watering
and harness should not be used for healthy
animals. Thorough dlslnfeciion Of the
premises and utensils are necessary.
