Gov. Cleveland.

Gov. Cleveland, if elected Pres
ident will be, with one exception,
the youngest man ever in that po-
sitiOn. Gen. Grant when elected
was forty-six years of age. stephen
A. Douglas was forty-seven when
he ran for President. Gen. Grant
was the youngest OF the Presidents
Pierce was next, having been elect
cd at the age of forty-eight. Gar
field next, being forty-nine when
elected, Fillmore was fifty when he
came to the Presidents chair, as
was Tyler when he succeeded to
that position by the death Of Har-
rison. Arthur was ffty-one when
elected Vice President. Only four
Adams, Jackson, Harrison and
Taylor-wero past sixty, and four
less than fifty. OF the unsuccess-
full candidates Mcclellan was the
youngest, having been but thirty
eight when nominated for the Pres
idency. Tilden was not, as is
popularity supposed, the old
est of Presidential candi-
dates. Adams was siXty-six
when he was elected. Winfield
Scott, as Pierce's antagonist, was
sixty-three, and Lewis Cass was
sixty-two when he ran against
Taylor, who was sixty-four then.
Monroe and Hayes were the same
age as Mr.. Blaine (tifty four), and
Jefferson, when defeated by
Adams, was also fifty-four, but was
electen four years later at the age
of fifty-eight.-T-D.

Shoeing Horses.

A correspondent over the sigma
ture of Medicus, in the New York
Post, furnishes some interesting
data concerning the shoeing OF
horses. He is convinced that no
horse should be shod, no matter
what work is required CT him, and
no matter how hard and rough the
streets or roads over which he
may have to pass. He cites the
case OF Mr.. Ransom's horses in
England, which are never shod,
although engaged in various kinds
of work, and arc almost entirely
free from those foot troubles to
which all shod horses seem liable.
He also states, from hearsay, that
in Brazil horses arc never shod
though they are constantly used
to the toughest possible work
over mountain roads strewn with
sharp rocks. In the case of o
favorite horse belonging TO the
correspondent, he occasionally
went lame until his shoes were
removed, but never afterwards, nor
did he ever stumble or slip.
He adds: {" If any one will study
the structure of horses foot he
will see why he would not slip
when his feet were left to take
their natural development. The
frog of a horses foot is simply q
soft, elastic cushion, which re-
ceives the force of the blow when
the foot strikes the ground, and
saves it from all jars. Naturally
the frog protudes beyond the hard
horny part for this very purpose.
But the horseshoer, from ignor-
ance, pares off this frog, and so
lets the force Of the blow come on
the comparatively hard horny
part, made still more unyiclding
by the iron plate nailed upon it..
Every time, then, that the foot
strikes the ground a violent jar
strikes from the foot al up the leg
with most injurious effect upon
the bones and muscles. and es-

COMMISSIONER FOR MADISON.

In another place will be found
the letter of Major Waddill de-
clining the office of Commissioner
for Madison to the Worlds Fix.
position. His eminent fitness for
the position makes il matter of
regret that he felt compelled to de-
cline but his reason is unquestion-
ably good and cannot but be so
admitted. The parish is fortunate
however in securing the services
of Mr.. A. w. Crandell who was
by tho President of the
Police Jury and who, fully alive
to the interests OF the Parish, will
doubtless enter with his whole
heart, into the work before him.
That Madison will be properly
represented no longer admits of a
doubt and it is only necessary for
even one to do what they can be it
ever so little.

For the Doctors.

Lloyd L. Majors rendered an
important service in the cause of
surgery when he undertook, few
days ago, to break out of Jail. In
his fight with his jailers his arm
was broken, and he died on the
scaffold with the wounded limb in
splints. Until Majors died the
surgical profession has rarely had
an opportunityto study the earliest
process Of repair in fracture. The
folon's corpse was quickly carried
TO the dissecting table, where the
wounded arm was amputated. The
investigation was profitable. 1t
exploded n false theory, one which
very likely in practice has been at
tended with serious consequences
To people who have suffered with
broken bones. The immediate
perfect adjustment of fractures has
not been deemed absolutely nee
essary TO perfect repair. From an
examination of Majors arm the
precious and practical truth has
been evolved that it is unwise to
delay the work of perfect adjust
ment. In his case temporary
union of the broken bone had al
ready taken place, not by callous
had generally been
held To be the case-hut by means
of the organization of the blood
which bad been poured out about
the fracture nj the time of the
injury. This disclosure is of great
scientific value. Ii demonstrates !
not only that surgery is progress
i've science, but also that it is not
rue that the worst use TO which a
nan may be put is the hanging OF !,

Cart Before The Horse.

At half-past 8 o'clock last Mon
day night one Of the locomotives o.
the New Orleans and Northeastern
railroad was ditched about a mile
from the end Of the trcstlc work
i'll this parish and the fireman
Charles 4. Whitney was instantly
killed and the engineer Clarke was
badly scalded about the head and
body. 1t appears that the engine
had run TO Slidell for water, and
having obtained supply was back
ing down to the construction train
which was standing on the track
when COW ran across the rails In
front of the engine. The animal
was run over, but the. engine was
thrown from the track with the
above fatal result. The body Of
the fireman and the injured cngin-
Ger were taken to the city.
If We had law compelling the
fencing in of railroad tracks, the
above accident would not have hap
pened, and at least one valuable
life would have been saved. st.

1t should not be necessary for
railroads to fence their tracks.
Stock should not be allowed to
trespass on the property of the rail-
road, and then they would not be
run over.

ter the shoe keeps the foot con-
stantly cold, and the nails carry
the cold up to the quick, or vital
part, which nature herself has
striven TO defend by covering it
with the dense hOof. The point
Of every nail really has the same
effect on the soft vital part i'm
mediately above it az if all the
hoof had been pared down to that
point. Those who would wish to
try the experiment of leaving
their horses without shoes must,
however, bear in mind that the
hoof will require time to become
accustomed to the new condition,
and for the diseased and broken
parts to be thrown off by the new
growth. In three months the old
hoof will be gone and the new one
will be sufficiently developed to
sustain any reasonable wear to
which it may be subjected. If a
horse is never shod from the be-
ginning there will never be any
trouble with him, and no precau-
tons need be taken. With race
horses and those that are only oc-
casionally used, such as fancy
trotters, it seems strange that
shoes should ever be thought of. {"
