PREPARE WINTER CLOTHING Nc

PREPARE WINTER CLOTHING Now.
Sudden changes Of temperature,
and cold, penetrating winds may now
be looked for, and it is prudent 10 be
ready to meet them promptly.
Strong, vigorous persons, in full
blood, may resist fall of twenty or
thirty degrees in the thermometer,
bu: none are sure of doing 80. A
change from so degrees to 40 degrees
or 80 degrees, before the system is
Injured to cold, is more felt than 0
degrees in December and January.
So, good warm under and outer cloth

when an unexpected northerly blast
comes. A cold caught in autumn is
apt to last long time, If it do not
chance to terminate fatally. Let the
winter apparel be looked over at
once, mended and remodeled, and
clothing ordered. Tailors and seam
tresses, If to be employed, will be
over-busy, and less accommodating
later on than now, and fabrics are in
more variety at the stores, and Cost
no more now than later.
To doubly protect the throat and
lungs, line the undershirt inside,
both back and front and we'll down
the waist, with warm, soft flannel.
Give special care also to the feet and

wool are by far the best. Line the

CHAMBERS IN HORSES.

Every horse owner is more or less
acquainted with that loathsome dis
ease, the CHAMBERS, and every one
should he aware that it is both con
tagious and fatal, not only to horses
hut also to mankind. The fact that
the disease has to this day baffled all
treatment, is sufficient reason why
the detection of CHAMBERS in stable
is always looked upon as serious
If the kisease always assumed the
same characters, if every glandered
horse presented the three special
symptoms essentially belonging to
it, namely, the grsenish, sticky, and
at times bloody discharges at the
nose, the hard, painless and adher
ent swollen glands at the jaws, and,
above all, the peculiar and eharac
teristic alterations Of the mucous
membrane upon the cartilage Of the
cavities of the nose, there would be
no difficulties in recognizing the dis
ease, and conaemning the animal
thus afflicted as most dangerous. =
But this is not always the case. This
disease assumes many forms. Some
times DULY a slight g'andular en-
largement, again discharges from
the nostrils, while in a third animal
neither of these will exist, and only
small ulcers will be detected in the
upper angle of the nostrils. Still the
animal is just as dangerous as If i,
showed all the symptoms fully de.
veloped; in fact, even more danger
Gus, for, while in this condition, i,
may apparently be in perfect health,
its skin presenting nothing uEusnal
to the ordinary observer. The horse
may Lemain in good condition, feel
as well as ever, be able to do it's
work, and remain thus for months,
and communicate the CHAMBERS To
many animals who may come in con-
tact with it. It is necessary to de
tect the disease at the start, and for
this no one should be better quail
fled than the regular Veterinarian ;
he who has by his studies become
familiar with the different aspects
of the disease. If once detected
there must be 90 hesitation; certain
ty of the existence of the disease
should mean death to the animal at
tected. Unless it is killed, most sc
rious, even fatal con equences, may
follow. The duty Of the owner Of an
animal in suspicious condition is,
10 have it examined at once. If
there is 10 doubt about the disease,
the horse must be at once destroyed.
II there is doubt, it should he lsola-
ted and rather than wait for the de
veIorment Of all the symptoms,
which may take a long time, inoca

an old mule or a donkey. THIS in
oculation will produce CHAMBERS, no

THE ROMANCE OF A YOUNG
TEXAN.

An interesting romance, to Which
his untimely death forms tragic
conclusion, was connected with Rob-
ert G. Fly, who was shot and killed
at Hondo City, Texas, last Tuesday.
He was a son of the wealthy mine
owner, Major Fly. At San Antonio,
Texas, young Fly fell in love with
Miss Ord, the daughter of the late
Gen. Ord, and they became engaged
to be married. But Gen. Ord sent
his daughter to enter tue post-gradu-
ate class at the Georgetown Convent.
When this season of probation drew
to close, as he imagined, young
Fly came TO this city, impatient to
claim bis bride. Upon his arrival
every one was struck with bis manly
figure. He was tall and handsome
aud possessed dashing air, which,
though little nonchalant from his
Southern and Western training, rem
ldered him immensely popular.
He was doomed 10 a bitter disap.
pointment, however. A sorrow
awaited him which overcast the rest
of his life and indirectly led 10 his
tragic fate. Immediately upon
reaching Washington he went to the
convent in quest of the object Of his
love, but he was informed that the
young lady was not there. The sis.
ter superior told him that they had
received letters addressed to Miss
Ord, but that they had not seen her.
The young man was rendered almost
wild with anxiety; he was involved
in mystery which he could not ex.
plain. He searcbei in every direc-
tion and wrote letters, but to DO
avail. After few months spent
restIessly in this city he went back
to Texas, carrying with him a like.
ness of his lost betrothed "a very
beautiful young lady,) which he
wore in locket about his neck and
which he probably never parted
with during his life.
In Texar his search ended. Miss
Ord was there, but lie found her at
the marriage altar. She became the
bride of the Mexican General Trey
inc and her discarded lover lost all
desire to disadvantages Post.

Gus one armed Cleveland pitche,
who has succeeded in doing some
wonderful curving. Last year he
struck out three men 10 succession
finishing an inning in one of the
games played. Flint is we'll known
here and is one of the best catchere
in The country. Brouthers is the
big batter from Buffalo, who will
probably knock the ball over the
fence before he leavas New Orleans.
Farrell is one of the best basemen
and ba:ters in the league and also a
splendid base runner. Williamson
is another favorite here and besides
being 6ne third baseman is clever
general player, a safe hitter and a
dangerous man running bases, tav-

and is a hard hitter. This will be

who is to be captain of the team, is
also we'll known. He is always away
