Corn and Oats for Horses.

Harkei and Farm says the value of corn
and oats may be briefly stated a. follows ::
The former is deicien. in many Of the ele
ments OF nutrition 50 necessary for recu-
perating the constant wear and tear which is
necessarily in the body Of living animal.
On this account horses which are fed exclu-
sively on corn and hay do not receive the
nourishment WHICH appears necessary for
the due support and maintenance Of the
animal fabric; hence We must not be sur
prised that corn-fed horses show signs of
being languid, by sweating profusely while
being worked. lack of vitality, etc. Oats,
on the contrary, contain more of the essen
tial elements Of nutrition than any other
article Of food which can be fed with impu-
nifty 10 horses. Oats are not only the most
natural food Cor horses. but are decidedly
the most nutritious. They are The cheap
est. because there is less risk in feeding
them. and experience has proved that hors-
es properly fed IN oats and timothy hay
can, with regular exercise, good grooming,
and proper sanitary regulations, be brought
to the highest state Of physical culture, and
perform more work with less evidence OF
fatigue than when fed on any other article Of
food.

A stoekman gives this sensible bit of
advice: Don't think your horse in best
condition to endure long trip or hard
drive because he has stood in the stable for
weeks and done nothing. If there is ever a
time that he is soft it is afte. a long idle
spell. but many unthinking men do not
realize this, and horses Of standing and
staying qualities are often injured by being
brought Toe suddenly from idleness to hard
labor"

New York, April 1O.-At the regular
monthly meeting of the Union league,
this evening, which was largely attend
ed, addresses were made by Gen. Haw-
ley and United States Senator Sabin OF
Minnesota. Judge Davis presided in
the absence of Mr.. Evarts. Among
other things, Senator Sabin said:
Much travel of late, severe business
duties and slight illness have made me
nearly a wreck-a wreck in all but NV
hopes for a republican victory this fall.
Eighteen months ago it did not look SO.
But when ever / go over the country. I
findlthe same spirit extant, and the same
belief that the great republican party is
again risen to supremacy. Not only are
states in the Northwest sending us good
reports. though the democrats have ex-
pected detection there, but there are
prospects that we may carry Florida.

Prospects in Virginia.

New YORK, April lo.-Gen. v. D.
Grover of Virginia, a warm personal
friend of Senator Malone, in referring
to the political outlook in the "Old Do
minion" to- Jay said that the candidates
and the platforms of the two great par
ties would have a great deal to do, SO far
as the vote of Virginia is concerned, in
November. Ifthe democrats nominate
a free trade candidate at Chicago, backed
by a free trade platform, then he had no
doubt whatever that his state would go
republican.
president Arthur" he said, "has
hosts of friends in Virginia, but the del
egation will not 60 TO Chicago pledged
for him or any other man. Our dele
gates will 60 uninstructed. If it be-
comes evident that Arthur Is the man
who can win, the Virginians will stand
by him. Blaine's followers are many,
and very enthusiastic. It looks very
much as though there would be two
delegations, the liberals or coalitionists
and the straight-out republicans. The
tariff will overshadow ali other issues in
this canvass. 1t Is the only issue on
which the republicans can hope to win"

The Views of Henry Ward Beecher.

CHICAGo,A April 12.-Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher said to a Daily News reporter
to-day: My individual preference for
president is Arthur; if nominated he
would carry the country with greater
ecAot for the republicans than Ii other
man they could name. AS for Tilden
he has been dead these three years. NY
sentiments on tariff are for free trade.
| don't want it to come too suddenly.
but gradually. If we brought it down
a certain anlount each year it would
have no evil effects. Silk merchants in
New York have told me they did not
feel the twenty per cent. reduction on
silk goods. | am in favor Of a reduction
OF tariff to the absolute needs Of the
government for expenses. am in favor
OF more direct taxation by the national
Observation-Disclosures such as is made
III states on personal property. Ii the
men have no personal property there
should be a poll tax. Robert T. Lincoln
will be a fool il he allows his name to
be used for the vice presidency or &C.
cepts the nomination. If he will wait
years he can-havesthe presidency.

Indians on the Warpath.

states that George Ohrmer, of Dayton,
who went into the Turtle mountains a
few weeks ago, returned this evening.
He states that his brother Michael
Ohrmer, whose troubles with the Indi-
ans have been reported, is safe nav, but
trouble is anticipated, as the Indians
have been reinforced by a large band
across the boundary under chief Little
Shell. The Indians refuse to allow a
settler on that portion of their reserva-
ton, which has just been thrown open
to settlers by the interior department.
The Indians have not killed any one,
