CHAMBERS.

There seems TO be some fear of an
epidemic in the neighborhood of Pitts
burg. Several cases have appeared
there of late, and the owners have
failed TO kin the affected stock. Speak
ing on the subject, DIR. Jennings, VS.,
recently said TO reporter:
"This is crying shame. The idea
of exposing animals here or elsewhere
TO the infection is horrible one, for
once the horse gets the CHAMBERS death
is certain. No cure has yet been dis
covered for this terrible scourge. In
England and France there is penalty
of 800 for keeping glandered horses.
As soon rs they are known to be at
tackled, they should be killed at once,
and not only that, but the trough,
flooring, etc, should be destroyed, and
the wall and vicinity of the manager
should be thoroughly disinfected. The
only way 10 prevent IL spreading, after
the infected animals are put out of the
way, is to isolate all suspected horses,
and remove animals not yet attacked
TO n place of safety. Chambers con-
sists in discharge from one or both
nostrils of matter, which, by transfer
or inoculation, will produce the dis
ease in another animal, either of the
equine or human species, and which
discharge is sooner or later accom-
panied by vascular injection and chan
crous liberation of the schnciderian
membrane by tumefaction of the sub
maxillary Emphatic glands and by
farcy. The virus may remain in the
manager, in the field, or wherever it
may have fallen, and yet retain its
poisonous power for year. Some
horses may die from its effects in a
month, and others may live a year,
according to the popularity of their
constitution"
The doctor here referred The report
or TO a manual published by his father,
in which the subject of CHAMBERS is
thoroughly treated. Astonishing as
II may seem 10 some, i'm the case OF
human beings attacked by it, that il
who contract il by incubation, say by
drop falling on a spot where the
skin is cut or scratched, the inevitable
result is death. Innumerable instances
are recited, but one from the books
will suffice. Madame Relesikoff, one
of the gay and cultured bevy of Rus.
sian ladies, who are the delight OF
fashionable circles in Paris, visited
Berlin. AS she was coming out of the
opera-house there she dropped brace
let, which rolled 10 the curb. She
stopped to pick il up, and while in
this attitude, as she laughingly re-
marked at the time, conc of the horses
belonging TO carriage standing at
hand dropped his head so close to her
face that he had touched and left a
moist kiss on her check" In a few
days she was taken in of CHAMBERS, and,
despite the greatest medical skill, she
died in great agony.-U s. Veterinary

WASHING DISHES.

There is a proper way for doing
everything that is to be done, aud the
London Agricultural Gazette has the
following suggestions in regard to the
"washing of cups, pots, and brazen
vessels i"
"Such pans and goblcts as are in
everyday use, after being thoroughly
washed, may be simply dried out with
linen dish-cloth; but soup pans and
fish kettles that may he put away for
a week or so at time should be dried
at the fire before being hung up, which
will prevent iron pans from getting
mouldy or musty, and tin pans from
rusting, however long they may be
out of use. And il is not only the pot
or pan that must receive attention,
for if that be ever so clean, and the lid
left unwiped, then the SAVIOR of what
ever may have gathered on it during
the last process of cooking, set free by
the steam of the next operation, inev-
itably falls down on the new material,
and most homogeneous compound
may be the result. This is also the
result with dish covers, which are too
often hung up with all the steam of
the last joint, fish or pudding on them,
at the risk of its dropping down on
the next article covered, and the GER
tainty of the metal inside becoming in
time black and stained. Brass pans
should be cleaned inside with vinegar
and brick, then rinsed, thoroughly
dried ut the fire, and finished of by
wiping out with clean cloth. White
enamelled pans only want little soda
and warm water to keep them pure
and sweet, and free from the grease
which would be SO disadvantageous TO
the finer kinds of made dishes that
these pans are generally used for.
Soda Is the most useful for rinsing out
a mixing dish before making a cake or
light pudding, as the grease from an
ill-kcpt dish-cloth is quite sufficient to
account for what to many is SO mys-
terious, namely, that the sponge cake
or pudding, which should have been
light as snow, turns out TO be heavy
and tough.
sEarthenwarc molds-the best and
easiest kept of all kinds, whether for
boiling, baking, or simply shaping
should also be rinsed out with q little
soda in the water, which in its turn
should be well rinsed off, as in its way
il is just as Objectionable in taste and
smell rs anything that can be named.
"For dinner dishes soap is better |
than soda, as it gives them clean,
glossy look, and thoroughly cleanses
them at the same time. A brush for |
the handles of turcens, ETC., should be |

SEED CORN.

A farmer, of Normal, Illinois. writes
10 the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette
rs follows:
"We appreciate the discussions OF
the Oxford Farmers Club, and would
be glad TO see such an organization in
every neighborhood for the advance
ment of farmers interests where there
is no grange in good working order,
for that is virtually the object of the
order of Patrons of Husbandry. There
is no discussion that could be brought
before the club that interests farmers
more than the culture of corn. In re-
gard 10 choosing seed, there is entirely
too much carelessness in selecting with
most farmers. BY experimental farm
ing and close observation we make de-
cided improvements. For twelve years
in succession l never had failure in
corn coming up when planted. go

Mr.. Leaning when living near Love-

three years. considered it only an

WHEN WHEAT Is GREEN.
BY GUY EosLYg.

When wheat Is green In furrowed fields,
And forest lanes sre lined with leaves,
And passion unto pleading yields,
And every matches maiden grieves

And cover up the moon at night,
Before the strong March wind viii run,
And leave the heavens blue and bright
Tho sun will shine upon the sen
The moon will Hight the wood for me
And then, ali, then o, dearest days.
Laburnum branches thick with bloom,
Will throw their gold on garden ways,
And kiss the window OF my room;
And then the day How Will II be
TO live In such felicity?
My brow with blossoms will be bound,
And from my fears shall be free;

The merriest month OF all for me

ENGLAND proposes TO settle 100000
Irish poor In Canada, beginning with
$4,000 next spring, and continuing as
fast as the country can be made ready
for them. These Irish families are to
have 100 acres each, free for three years,
then pay per cent on $500, with the
privilege of obtaining possession by pay
ing the $500. They are to be provided
with buildings, animals, seed, food, and
necessary implements for farming pur-
poses. This seems to be an effort of
genuine. practical, and continued be-
nevolence to rid Ireland Of her super
abundant poor, and place them in con-
dition of possible livelihood, thereby over
coming turbulence. The measure will
be severely opposed by those who object
to the depopulation of Ireland, but If it
is what it appears on the surface, it is
worth being tried.

The Democratic party admits it was
cast aside because of unfaithfulness
and treason, begs that its past history
be forgotten, and promises reform if
granted authority and power. Admitting
it clearly sees its failure in the past, is
sincerely penitent for the causes leading
to that failure, and truly wants the
offices of power and trust asked for, is it
not appropo to ask for some act already
done that would justify the experiment of
again surrendering the government in
to the control of party that once
sought the life of the nation? The
people do not care for the past, it has
resolved itself in favor of the public
good, but they demand that the control
ing power be intent upon further good,
and it does not appear that the Demo
cratic party, so far as trusted in Con-
gressiOnal. gubernatOrial, and other
positions, has exhibited any virtue, wis.
dom, craftsmanship equal to the hour
on the other hand the party seems to
lack moral courage, does not ally itself
with the true life and prosperity of the
country and people, does not listen to the
counsels of the better class of its consti
tuency, instead of this, it seems t.
pander to the worst elements of society
engage the basest means for votes and
success. While this reckless course Is
pursued, many who would like to affilli
ate with the party on true basis Of
right, are afraid to trust it. for they
find nothing in its teachings and prac
tees equal to the sterling work, honest
course, and progressive determination
of the Republican party.

Where Power Resides in China.
[From the london spectator. /

We are often asked where, in the great
empire of China, power really resides,
and we believe the best short statement
is this. Subject to certain immovable
customs, the emperor, In his capacity of
father of the people, can in theory give
any order, and can in practice punish
with decapitation or exile any official or
person who disobeys it. He is, in ell
serious affairs, however, obliged to con-
suit, though not to obey, rather large
group of princes of his dynasty and
great mandarins, who divide the de-
partments and the great viceroyalties
among themselves. The dynasty, more
over, being foreign, is compelled to re-
spect the army to some extent; while
this army is, for financial reasons, SO
limited in number that it is difficult to
garrison the empire, and impossible to
hold it down for an hour. It is the ira
dition of the court, therefore, never Sc
riously to offend either the army on
the people in such way as to provoke
enaeaIteS, more especially In Pekin. At
present the emperor is boy, only II
years of age, and all real authority be-
longs to widow of the last full-grown
emperor, Hen Fung-who is called the
empress mother, but is not the mother
of the emperor-to Prince Kung, LII
Hung Chang, the favorite of the native
Chinese, and two Or three more or less
known high officials. They can send
out any orders they please, and are
obeyed, but they cannot afford to risk
the Instructions which would follow
any great affront to the pride of the
people, such as the cession of Tonquin
would be. China, in fact, is more
solid Turkey, with sultan, pashas, army
and mob sharing power in unequal de-
grees. AS in Turkey, too, all four are
bound In the chain of law which can
not be modified.

STANDARD TIME.

A Boston Judge has decided that the
egality of the new standard time de
ponds upon the fact whether it has been
adopted by usage or not. Usage might
establish itself In twenty-four hours, and
it might take a long time. The case
was for writ of prohibition to restrain
a party from annexing his certificate of
arrest in a poor-debtor hearing, where
the petitioner was defaulted by going
by the new standard time, while the
magistrate made his judicial decisions by
the mean Boston time. The Judge said
he would consider whether standard
time has been adopted by usage. There
is very pretty question here for all
communities. Many cities have not
adopted the new time by usage, which
means all social, legal, and corporate
and industrial arts regulated by the new

HORRORS WRITTEn IN BLOOD.

The letter written by Nihilist in his
own blood from Troubletskoi Bastion,
st. Petersburg, represents the horrors
of that prison as worse than the popular
imagination has painted those of the
dungeons of Siberia, and the London
Times, in which the letter appears, de-
clares that an investigation is demand
ed. The car may be ignorant of the
atrocities practiced upon prisoners, and
he might be unable to correct all these
abuses. even if he knew them. The cor
rupti0n of the officers of the empire is
notorious, and it is said that brutality to
prisoners is employed TO extort money.
Those who have money obtain kindly
treatment, and those who haven't are al
most literally left to rot, partly as q
warning to those who are reluctant to
part with money In their possession and
partly because their keepers lack a YES

that the horrors of Russian prisons are
beyond exaggeration, but before de-
nounciDg the government by which they
are permitted Americans should remem-

southern states the brutality, the filth,
the degradation, of women are almost as
bad as the Russian horrors which have
