bad and is to be regretted, as the de-

A Broken-Hearted Dog.

A remarkable story Of dog that died
of broken heart is told by DR.. Martin,
Of Atlanta, Georgia. w. H. HaTvill,
the father-in-law of DR.. Martin, who
died recently at ripe old age, was the
owner of very fine bulldog, by name
Ponto. "For months before his DEATH
says Mr.. Martin, "this dog was his con-
slant companion. There was something
almost human in the devotion of the
dog to his master, and as natural con-
sequence, the master was particularly
fond of his dog. The daily movements
of the old gentleman for long time
before his last sickness were as regular
rs those of clock, and Ponto followed
him as surely as his very shadow.
When the old man died, Ponto took his
place by the coffin, and did not bulge
Then he got up and followed it closely
to the hearse, and followed it to the
grave. Ponto came back to the house
IA changed dog. Every night he lay upon
his rug in the porch and moaned pit
eously all night long. Every day found
him making the rounds just as he did
before the old man died. 1 tempted
him with the choicest meat, but he re-
fused to eat. 1 offered him the warm
est milk; he would not drink. He
went about with his head down, the
very picture of sorrow. He dwindled
away almost to skeleton. One day,
about five weeks after the old man
died, Ponto came dragging his lank and
week body down the street. When he
got by the fence he stopped there and
sank upon the ground. ran to him,
and lifting him in my arms, carried
him into the yard, for he was dead.

THE BOVINE TROUBLE.

A RepOIt on Contagious Diseases of animals
DIR. E. E. Salmon, chief of the bureau Of
animal industry, has submitted to the COM
missioner of agriculture report on con-
tagious diseases of animals. Considerable
space is given to detailed history of the re-
cent outbreak among the catt'e in Kansas,
and to a description of its symptoms. He con-
cludes the disease was ergotism. due to the
eating of fungus, known as ergOt. Upon
treatment and prevention of the disorder he
says, "when the first signs of disorders appear
the most important point to be attended to is
to make complete change of food and to see
that it be of good quality. nutritious and free
from ergot. 1t would also he proper to give
a dose of physic, one to two pounds of epso(n
salts, in order to remove as much as possibly
from the person that still contained in TN
digestive organs, and to follow this with soft
food as mashes and roots. In the most
severe cases, in which part of the limb is
already lfeless. treatment will avail little.
A greater number of cases, however, are
not advanced to this stage, when lameness
is first noticed, and this will be greatly bene-
fitted by removing the cause and placing the
animal under favorable conditions for resist
ing poison. A very important condition is
warmth Even when the animals are fed large
quantities of ergot they seldom suffer except
in cold winter and consequently completing
the check of the advance OF the disease: Ad-
ting the cattle in warm sheds. Another con- .
dition believed by some to have much infu-
ence on the development of ergoiism IS the
water supply. With plenty of water always
at hand, the animal can resist ergotism for
longer time than when there is deficiency of
water
Ergotism can probably be entirely prevent
ell by cutting hay before the seeds form. In
Illinois and Missouri 1 saw the clearest exam
pies of this. Hay composed of some kind OF
grass cut on the same land was free from
ergot or largely infected with it. according as
it had been cut green or ripe. Hay cut green
is more digestibe and in every way more val
Ii a. hot hfnh 10 a RI
weedy and ripe. and the latter is much more
liable to produce severe disease, such as indi-
gestion and ergotism. This disease may there
fore be avoided by proper and careful man
aRement

We should be loyal to all our great
patriots, but we should also be honest
The boyhood of Patrick Henry was diff
ferent from the boyhood of most great
men in that it foreshadowed nothing OF
his future power. He was only an idle,
shiftless, ne'er-do well. He "played
hockey on all occasions, and would be
found during school hours lying on his
back under the trees, or be watching
the motionless cork Of his fishing line
without sign of success. 1t was well
known that he loved solitude and in
society he was awkward and quiet. His
dress was slovenly. He disliked study
intensely, and no persuasion could
bring him either to read or work. At
Is his father started himself and elder
brother in business in store. Without
business habits or application, they soon
went to ruin. Later, Patrick being idle,
fell into dissipation. Then, very early,
he married, and with his wife and fami-
ly lived life of poverty and want.
His early habits told against him in
later years, when his powers of elo-
quence being discovered, he was found
to be lacking in business qualifications.
After he was lawyer he could not
draw a declaration or plan, or first
make motion. And on one occasion
when he was to address a paper to the
king, he did it so poorly that is was set
aside and some one else was appointed
to the task. Through all the hard and
knotty questions that arose after the
colonies achieved independence,
Henry's early acts untitled him for
elaboration. He could simply
that measures by his eioquence which
he was perfectly capable of carrying
out.
Every school boy knows of Patrick
Henry's wonderful eloquence. Every
school boy does not know of the defects
in character which resulted from his
early habits.

FOREIGN NOTES.

| President Grevy has issued decree stating
that the Universal exhibition in Paris will
open May 5, 1889.
| The North Germ 81 Gazette in an editorial
| advises the govelL Il ent to station squadron
permanently OIL tie West African coat to
protect German interests.
The celebration at London of the entrnce
to Office of the new lord mayor took place on
the 10th. The streets through which thepro-
cession passed were thronged with enormous
crowds. A fine display was made by the Tari-
GUS ancient guilds. Among the most ppmi-
nent features of the procession were several
Nile boats fully manned, a herd of canels
with Soudanese attendants and drove of
elephants.
Great excitement prevailed in the lobbks of
the French chambers owing to the confhma-
ton of the report published in the Liberte
that the cabinet council on Saturday decided
to forego demanding indemnity from China.
Much discomfort prevails on account of this
in the Tonquin committee of the chamber of
deputies. Charreau, chairman of the CON-
mittee, has resigned, and the committeeha
resolved to postpone presenting its report I'M
til Ferry has made an explanation.
Papers submitted by the Tonquin Commits
sion to the French cabinet contain dispatches
interchanged by Ferry, Prime Minister of
France, and the Secretary of State at Wash
ington, regarding the proposed mediation by
the government of the United States between
ance and China. The dispatches showthat
Ferry, in reply to the query from the Aneri-
can secretary as to whether France would &C.
cept the mediation of the United States, said
that the minimum conditions would be the
unreserved acceptance by the government of
China of the treaty of Tien-Tsin and thepay-
ment of an indemnity to France, the amount
of which could be fixed subsequently.
