SPEAKER CARLISLE A SOUTHERN GAL
LIANT.

An incident occurred the other evening in
one OF the Scent cars which go from the
capitol to the White House, which attracted
no attention ut the time but which, had it
occurred before the war, would have been
widely commented upon. The car was full
of gentlemen and ladies', and Speaker Car
Isle was sitting beside me; looking very
grave and probably thinking himself great
fool for having accepted such trying posi-
ton as the Speaker Of this Congress, when
young negro girl entered the car. There
was no seat for her, and she grssped the
strap, looking vainly around for q seat
There was none to be seen, and no one rose
to give her one. AT last the Speaker, CON-
ing out of his meditation, saw her. He half
rose to give her his place, when he changed
his mind, and crowding the rest of us toward
the car, made room for her beside himself,
and motioned her to sit down. She did so.
There was no ostentation about it, and the
Speaker relapsed into his moody meditations
as soon as it was over Washington Letter.

How to Feed Horses.

Some one says that more horses are
annually killed or injured by over-feeding
and by injudicious feeding than by starva-
ton or most other causes. In horses we
can detect as many different temperaments
and dispositions as in men, though but few
horse owners take this fact into mature
consideration in the management of their
horses, particularly in that part of it re-
lating to food and feeding. Some horses
are natural gluttons, and they must be
seen to carefully. or they will, at times,
be apt to seriously injure themselves by
feeding too fast, while much of the food
they consume will pass through them undi
gested. for the simple reason that it is swal
lowed before it has been properly mastica-
ted We like to see what is termed a
"good FEEDER" Zone which does not
mince or pick carefully over his feed),
but then we are not at all
partial to the ravenous ones. Such a
horse as the latter named, will dive into
his feed with his mouth wide open. and
invariably takes more at mouthful than
he can either hold in his mouth or proper
ly masticate. There are several WAYS to
fix such fellows, one way with his oats,
while moistening the oats or feeding cut
food prevents him from pandering to his
greedy propensities. A horse with del
icate appetite is usually tender, delicate
animal, and not at all desirable. The
trouble with most persons. no matter
whether on the farm for farm work, or for
driving purposes, as they feed too much
hay; and to this cause can be attributed the
general sluggishness often manifested by
the horses until they have been working
couple of hours. while the wind is also
much impaired. Night is the only time
when hay should be fed. especially to ami
mails used for quick work. Even the slow
plough team should have but little hay at
the morning and noon feeds, but give
them a generous supply at the evening
meal. BY doing this. your horse will
keep in better spirits and condition. and
free from any tendency to pot belly"

Early Sheep shearing-washins

Early Sheep Shearfng-Washing.
No real lover of his flock drives his
sheep to the washing without feeling
akin to remorse remarks an exchange.
He would not do it were it not that he be-
Heyes that the market demands wool
washed on the back. Though it is true
that washed woods sells more readily. yet
in times like these. an opportunity for re-
form is offered which ought not to be over
looked. Sheep which are to be washed
ought not to be sheared before settled
warm weather. In many seasons this will
not come before the last of June. They
are then in much less danger of tax
ing cold and receiving permanent in
jury They ought to be washed only in
water which is 80 warm that the washers
do not find it uncomfortable to stand in it
with the sheep. The shock to the
flock of the immersion in cold water
and being subsequently exposed to raw
winds-followed by being reduced to a
state of absolute nakedness. is sufficient
cause to account for ..snuffles." and prev
alent lung difficulties. The rule in regard
to washing is to wash as little as possible.
but even this involves the necessity Of
thoroughly wetting the entire fleece. 1t
is great object to have the sheep sheared
as early as they can be, and fully month
may be gained if they are shorn without
washing The fleece starts better. the
sheep seem actually benefited. weakly
ones often brighten up and do well, and
all are in much better condition to bear
the autumnal storms which often come be-
fore the flock are sufficiently clad to bear
the change we'll. Contagious diseases are
not unfrequently communicated by farm
ers using the same washing pens with
their neighbors, which may be unavoida-
BILE.
II the sheep be shorn unwashed, parti-
cular care should be taken to have them
all we'll tagged and all dirt removed which
is not too thoroughly incorporated with
the fleece. The discount of one-third in
price for unwased wool is not fair, yet the
farmer may well submit to it for the ad-
vantage his flock gains, if it be valuable
one, knowing that like other abuses it will
be corrected by time. Sheep should be
shorn on smooth, clean floors, by careful,
humane, quick. experienced men. The
cleanliness of the floor, the removal of
dung and straw brought in upon the feet,
are important.

Deposit Vaults and Bank Burglars.

II suppose there are stored in the banks
and safe deposit vaults in Well street and
vicinity not far from 81 ,000, 900, ,000." said
Mr.. Robert Pinkerton as he sat in COM
fortle easy-chair In his Office in Exchange
place. II may be trife out of the way
in my estimate, but not very much. The
protection of all this wealth requires the
services of large number of men in ad
dition to the usual mechanical and cleo
trical devices employed for that purpose.
The bulk of this large sum of money is
stored in the vaults of safe deposit COM
panies. The vaults are built of fire-proof
material and are made as secure as mod
ern invention will allow. They are con-
nected with electric wires with the nearest
district telegraph office. Armed watch
men pace to and fro in the rooms upon
which the vaults open. These men are
required to give a signal over the wire at
stated intervals during the night, in order
to prove to the proper authorities that they
are faithfully attending to their business
and that nothing of an evil nature has
happened. If the signals are not given
an armed possee of men are at once sent
to the vault in question. In addition to
these watchmen there are other watchmen
whe patrol the streets in front of the
building in which the vaults are placed.
Private watchmen and detectives are also
on the lookout for suspicious persons"
'Are there as many professional bank
robbers now as there were fOrmerlv?'
inquired the reporter.
81 don't believe there is the making of
regular gang of first-class bank bur-
glars among all the thieves of this coun-
try" replied Mr.. Pinkerton. Nearly all
the old professionals have either died or
have been arrested and put away in prison
and the younger men don't seem to have
the ingenuity of their predecessors. Look
at the noted bank burglars who have been
caught and shut up within Is or 20 years,
The young burglars are now exercising
their skill upon jewelry safes in different
parts of the country. They have met
with such success that that the jewellers
of the United States have been compelled
to organize themselves into society for
the purpose of mutual protection. -
