AN OLD FOGY.

Ex-Governor Phelps in the free trade
convention at st. Louis, deprecated
the fact that the tariff on tobacco and
cigars had been lowered, but if he
used the weed himself, and had to
purchase it for four or five boys, a
father-in-law, and several of his near
neighbors who always happened to be
out, he would not think as he does
now. The old-fashioned Governor
should remember. that in expressing
such sentiments he is striking at our
spruce "Young America" who some
times does not have the capital OH
hand to purchase more than mite of
the article at once with which to fol-
low the fashionable train of his circle,
and to break the youth up in the
midst of his serene Happiness, might
prevent the Governor from going to
Congress the balance Of his days,

lib andages-- Hollands Way.
Horses were not shod in Egypt Assyria or
Palestine The latter country was supplied
with horses by the Egyptians Solomon paid
$50 shekels of silver, equal in value to SIS,
for each horse. This was q high price, the
difference in relative value of shekel and a
given weight of wheat being considered
Isaiah speaks of horses whose 'hoofs shall be
counted like fint"-a valuable quality where
they were shoeless. The Syrians and Hittites
were supplied with Egyptian horses by Solo
mon, who thus turned an honest penny by
this means.
Aristotle and Pliny mention the covering
of horses feet in stony places to protect the
hoof from breakage and wear, but it is proba-
bic that such covering was a bandage or
boot, and used principally on long journeys.
Suetonius refers to the dismounting OF YES
pasians mueteer to shoe his mules. Wrap
pings of plated fibre, such as hemp or broom,
were used as was also leather In Japan the
horses have clogs of twisted straw, of which
a large supply is carried on a journey; when
worn another is Immediately applied. The
American custom of shoeing would, no doubt,
appear barbarous custom in their minds.
Capt. Cook refers to the fact that the Slbe-
rians and Kamtchatkans use travelling socks
for their dogs.
Camels in old times were similarly pro-
vided These boots were drawn on over the
feet, and it does not appear that iron or other
metallic plates were nailed to the hoofs.
Such boots were shod with metal for the
rich The mules OF Nero were shod with sill
yer; those of his wife, Pappea, with gold.
For less stately purposes mules were shod with
iron. Homer mentions brazen footed steeds,
probably merely metaphorical expression,
implying strength. Mithridates and Alex
ander experienced great difficulty with their
cavalry, owing to the soreness of the unpro-
tected feet of the horses in long marches. The
first certain mention of shoes being nailed to
horses hoofs is in the works of Emperor Leo,
ninth century. The practice of shoeing
horses is said to have been INTRODUCED into
England by William.
In two respects the shooting of horses in
Holland differs from ours. First, to prevent
slipping, the forehoofs are pared away to the
toe and the shoe so fitted that tie toes do not
touch the ground when the foot stands fiat,
the weight resting on the middle and heel OF
the shoe. Second, the shoe is nailed on per-
fectly fiat and close to the foot, which is
fattened to receive it; the iron is thereby de-
prived of all spring, and the hold of the nails is
undisturbed. The frog comes in contact with
the ground

THE CINCINNATI CAMPAIGN.
The Triangular Fight in the Queen
City.

CINCINNATI, O., Oct. 4-The Democratic
county campaign committee have refused to
accept the proposition of the Republicans
that one judge of election shall be appointed
in each precinct by each of the three
parties having tickets in the field. This
viii leave the Reformers without representa-
ton at the polls. The Reformers maintain
that this action will afford good ground for
the rurnors of intended frauds at the polls by
the Democrats, and will cause an increased
vote for the reform tirket. The proposition
of the Republicans was liberal one, mas
much as it practically gave two Democratic
to one Republican judge at every voting
place The feeling of the Democrats toward
the Reformers, however, is SO bitter that they
would not consent to the arrangement, al
though the Reformers promised to appoint as
judges none butapproved Democrats in whom
the people would have entire confidence.

THE Garfield documents.

WASHINGTON CITY, Oct. 4.-Gen. Swain
says there is no truth in the published state
ment that the project of erecting monument
to the late President Garfield in Washington
under the auspices of the Society of the Cum
berland has been abandoned, and the funds
collected for that purpose used in erecting
monument in Cleveland instead. The state
ment probably arose from the fact that
monument to Garfield is to be placed in Lake
View cemetery, near Cleveland, in addition
to the one to be erected in Washington.

they are absolutely reliable. Badly as they
are treated in the old slave communities,
they stick to that climate and locality. They
do not want TO move away from us. Now,

court of appeals, ''the trouble is that too
many white men do not pay their servants
even the small sum they ask. The laborer
becomes demoralized by not receiving any

How Walking Canes are Made.

American Merchant
The manufacture Of canes is by no means
the simple process of cutting the sticks in the
woods, peeling off the bark, whiting down
the knots, sandpapering the rough surface,
and adding touch of varnish, curiously
carved handle or head, and tipping the end
with ferrule. In the sand flats of New
Jersey whole families support themselves by
gathering nannebelTy sticks, which they
gather in the swamps, straighten with an old
vice, steam over an old kettle, and perhaps
scrape down or whittle into size. These are
packed in large bundles to New York city
and sold to the cane factories.
Many imported sticks, however, have to
go through a process Of Strengthening by
mechanical MEANS which are mystery to
the uninitiated. They are buried in hot sand
until they become plable. In front of the
heap of hot sand in Which the sticks are
plunged is stout board from five to six feet
long, fixed at an angle inclined to the work
men, and having two or more notches cut in
the edge. When the stick has become per-
fectly pliable the workman places it on one
of the notches, and, bending it in the oppo-
site direction TO which it is naturally bent,
straightens it. Thus sticks apparently
crooked, bent, warped and worthless, are by
this simple process Strengthened; but the
most curious part Of the work is observed
in the formation of the crook or
curl for the handles which are not naturally
supplied with hook or knob The workman
places one end of the cane firmly in a wise,
and pours continuous stream of fire from
gas pipe on the part which is to be bent.
When sufficient heat has been applied, the
cane is pulled slowly and gradually round
until the hook is completely formed, and then
secured with string. An additional appli-
cation of heat serves to bake and permanently
fix the curl The under part Of the handle is
frequently charred by the action of the gas
and this is rubbed down with sand-paper
until the requisite degree of smoothness is
attained

was sitting in my usual place when
saw him rise, take his hat and cane
both in his right hand, as he was often
accustomed to do, and start to leave
the chamber. Ash he rose from his seat,
he put his left hand quickly to his left
breast, as if in pain, and seemed to
press it hard. Then he stood, should
say for full minute, casting his eyes
around the entire range Of the gal
leries twice, as if looking for a famil
lar face. He then, standing there, de-
libcl ately surveyed the whole Senate,
and then started for the east door
As he started he dropped his left hand
from his breast. AS he reached the
east door he once more put his left
hand to his breast, with quicker me-
ton, and inclined his body slightly to
the left. Once more he turned, and l
can see the wonderful expression upon
his face now. Itturned first pale, dead
ly pale, then became a pearly gray;
should never have known the face
was that of Sumner. There was upon
it an expression Of pain, but deeper
expression Of agonizing sorrow. He
stood few seconds in this position,
surveyed once more the whole Senate
floor, Strengthened himself little from
his partly inclined position toward the
right, and darted through the eastern
folding-doors as if shot from cannon.
He never entered the Senate chamber
again. In two days he was dead. l
could not account for Mr.. Summers
strange conduct and that terrible ex-
preston on his face. 1t haunted me.
The next day learned that he was
sick, and the next that he was dead,
and it occurred to me in a moment
that possibly Mr.. Sumner, as he stood
there with his hand upon his breast
and surveyed the Senate chamber,
might have had presentiment that
that look was the last which he was
ever to give upon that body, and it
was.
