Re,ublican newspapers are cack.

Republican newspapers are cack-
linz considerable because the recent
count of the money in the Treasury
resulted in showing only a deficiency
of tavo cents! From the amount of
stealing that had been going on these
fellows expected startling develop
ments, but no n expected the
counting to show up a deficiency.
That is not the way the stealing is
done. A defaulting book keeper or
cashier is generally smart enough to
cover up his d%efalcations by book
keeping SO that the amount in the
safe agrees with his footings. Wait
until the books r gone through.

The remarkable way things were
done in the Navy Department. under
Republican administration is shown
by some recent Investigations made
by the present Secretary. Estimates
ofthe value of the material in certain
vessels, and of the cost of breaking
them up, had been submitted to the
Republican Secretary. These est.
mates put the value of the material at
$73,477.65 and the cost of breaking
up the vessels at $107, 900. Money
would have been saved by giving the
vessels away or towing them out to
sea and sinking them, but the late Re-
publican Secretary had them broken
up. The materials did not reach the
estimate and the loss sustained in
breaking up the vessels is thought
to reach $4,000.

Care of Horses Feet.

Horses in civilized lands suffer more from
ailments of the feet than from any other
cause. The feet of q horse are subject to
many injuries, both from bad shoeing and i'll
kept roads, and it is important for owners of
horses to study well how these causes of dis
eascd feet can be avoided But in the consid-
Grafton of this question there are some points
not well understood. The London Stock
ing sixteen hundred pounds, when drawing
load, bears weight upon the feet of two
tons, the extra pressure being caused by the
downward force of the act of drawing. Now,
an average horses draft power amounts only
to forward strain of one hundred and fifty
seven pounds. As the horse is only exerting
this forward force by pressure upon the col
lar, it is clear, the feet cannot press with any
more force upon the ground, so that the above
explanation of the cause of injury to the
horses foot, is imaginary. 1t is not the force
exerted by work at all. A wild horse, gallop-
ing at the top of his speed, presses upon the
ground with his feet more than horse NOV
ing ton in wagon upon road at the rate
OF two miles an hour; and yet wild horses
have excellent feet and are never lame. But
they have choice of smooth path, and have
no blacksmiths 10 cut away the frogs of their
feet, and so deprive them of the very means
nature provides for the protection of the
foot. 1.-THE roads were kept in good condi-
ton and free from loose stones, and the frog
OF the foot were never pared horses would
rarely suffer from foot -lameness. Frog-pres
sure expands the heels, toughens the horns,
cures corns, and does much toward giving q
horse sound feet-Ame1icdn AnTcutl1ist.

Historic Spoons and Forks.

Oneof the most historic of William II. Van
derbilPs acquisitions, was brought into use
at recent dinner party. 1t is II set of
spoons and forks which have record I'M
equalled in any other article of the kind
They are of solid gold, but this alone is not
their highest point of value. The latter is
found in the adornments which grace the
handles These are oval, and in the spoons
each contains an excellent miniature ola
queen Of France. The handles of the forks
each display an enameled miniature of a king
of France of equally exquisite finish. The
highest point of interest in these utensils is
the fact that they were made by the court
jeweer for the Empress Josephine, and were
only used on state occasions at the Tuileries.
Hence they recall memories of the old en-
pire, when Napoleon entertained his mar
shals and other magnates OF Europe with
the brilliance of his short-ived grandeur.
On the downfall of Napoleon the contents
of the Tuileres were sold at auction, but
Jerome Bonnparte secreted the jewelry, and
these articles of plate were thus saved from
coniscation. He brought them to this coun-
try, and kept them with such care that few
were aware of their existence. On his death
they passed into the hands of his nephew,
Achilles Murat, of Pensacola, who retained
them as long rs possible. He was, however,
eventually obliged to part with them and
they became the property of Mrs. George
Willis, of Virginia, who sold them to their
present owner for $500.
How strange it must have seemed to the
guests on the above mentioned occasion to
handle the utensils which were once used
by the greatest European soldier and also by
his majestic queen. How suggestive of the
fate of both-thc one dying in exile, while
the other, having lived to see the downfall
Other taithless husband, expired peacefully

Repairing Roads.

This is usually left till the farmers get
through corn planting; but the roads should
be attended to as soon as the frost is out of
the ground and they have become settled and
moderately dry. Then, instead of all turn
ing out to pillow, scrap and turnpike them, as
it is called, the ruts and holes alone ought to
be filled up. The road washings and turf or
muddy soil should never be taken from the
sides for this purpose, but fine broken stone
or gravel should be sought, and if not to be
had, then the driest and hardest soil in the
neighborhood. Such repairing can be done
cheaply and quickly and will prevent further
deepening of the holes and ruts and make the
roads. quite comfortable till they can be fully
worked in the summer Instead, then, of a
lot of men turning out to do this work, an
experienced road master should be appointed
for it, allowing him to hire such hand and
team work as necessary for the business
Then everything will be accomplished in a
more thorough and cheaper way than is now
done by calling out the neighboring farmers
and horses for the purpose.
II the wheels ofall vehicles were construct
ed with broader tires than at present is the
case, except as they are done in quite sandy
regions and the axles of the forewheels were
made so much shorter than the hind Ones
that the track OF the latter, instead of follow
ing directly after the former, ran close along
the out side of it, there would not be one
tenth as deep ruts and holes worn in the
roads as now. They would consequently be
kept smoother, more level and in general bet
ter order at a much less expense. In fact, if
the road soil was naturally gravelly or of dry,
hard nature, unless much used by heavy
teams, they would endure without the neces.
sity of being touched for years, if they were
properly constructed MT first

There is beautiful story of an old elephant
that once engaged in an Indian battle He
was standard bearer, and carried on his huge
back the royal ensign, the rallying point of
the Poonah host AT the beginning of the
fight he lost his master The mahout or dri-
yer had just given him the word to halt,
when he received fatal wound and fell to
the ground, where he lay under heap of the
slain. The obedient elephant stood still
while the battle closed around him and the
standard he carried. He never stirred foot,
refusing to advance or retire as the conflict
became hotter and fiercer, until the Mahrat.
tas, seeing the standard still flying steadily in
its place. refused to believe they were beaten,
and rallied again and again around their col
ors And all this while. amid the din of bat
tie, the patient animal stood strainng its ears
to catch the sound ofthat voice it would never
hear again. AT length the tide of conquest
left the field deserted The Mahrattas swept
on in pursuit of the flying foe, but the ele.
phant like a rock, stood there with the dead
and dying around and the ensign waving in
its place. For three days and nights it re-
manned where its master had given the COM
mand to halt. No bride or threat could move
it. Then they sent to village, 100 miles
away and brought the mahout's little son.
The noble hero seemed then to remember
how the driver had sometimes given his au.
thority to the little child, and Immediately,
with all his shattered trappings as he went,
paced quietly and slowly away.
