Breeding Roadsters.

The great essentials of a good
roadster are endurance, gameness
and speed. Without these three
qualities he can never be first
class road horse; though, of course,
if you superadd to these qualities
beauty, docility and style, you ma
terially increase the value OF the
animal. Experience, the best of
teachers, has shown us that no
horse can possess endurance, speed
and game without being well bred.
Starting, therefore, on this theory,
that no horse is fitted to geta and
no mare is fitted to bear a colt in
tended for a road horse, unless he
or she be well bred, let us inquire
what are the qualities most to be
desired on the part of each. A
horse, to be a mover of the right
sort, must have his mechanism as
perfect as a chronometer watch. A
certain style is necessary togo fast
and to stay. We all know that
those horses who have gone fastest
and been noted ;stayers have been
possessed of wonderful power across
the loins. have never seen a sue
cessful trotting horse in this coun-
try without q powerful quarter, and
1 have seen most of the famous
ones. Of course it is necessary to
perfection to have, with this pow
erful lever behind, a sloping shout
der, deep chest, a good rib and good
legs; but unless you have the pow
erful quarter, these qualities are of
no avail. l would, then, endeavor
to have both dam and sire provided
With this great essential, and If:not
both, at least one of them. Then
the attempt should be to give the
sloping shoulder, blood like neck
and head. 1t is true with an up
right shoulder a horse may be fast,
but there is not the same ease of
action which is so essential for en-
durance as in the sloping shoulder.

exchange that he has tested the
feeding of cooked and uncooked
corn for hogs, and also ground and
unground food. He claims that a
bushel of corn fed on the cob will
produce nine pounds Of pork, while
an equal quantity ground and fed
raw will yield twelve pounds. A
bushel of corn boiled made 134
pounds of pork, and a bushel OF
meal cooked made l64 pounds.
1t is not well, says Stewart, to
couple the young SOW before she is
nine months old, as she should not
farrow her first litter under thirteen
months old. Sows are sometimes
coupled at six or seven months old,
but this practice is likely to pro-
duce a puny offspring, and If per
sisted in for several generations,
like planting small potatoes, the
progeney will grow smaller and pu-
nier with each succeeding genera
tion

Nervousness;

The moment there IS danger Of impair
rnent ofthe mind from excessive nervous
exhaustion, or where there exists fore
bodings of evil, a desire for solitude,
stunning and avoiding company, vertigo
and nervous debility, or when insanity
has already taken place, PERUNA ana
MANALIN should be implicitly relied on.
But it is never well to wait 50 long before
treatment is commenced. The early
symptoms are loss of strength, softness
of the muscles, dim or weak sight, pecu-
liar expression OF the face and eyes,
coated tongue, with impaired digestion
or in others, certain powers only are lost
while they are otherwise enjoying COM
paratively good health. In all these Pc
RUvA and MANALIN should at once be
taken.

The governor of Massachusetts,
in an address before the Worcester
Technical School, June %, said
some words that are worthy of not
ing. He said II thank my moth
er that she taught me both to sew
and to knit. Although my domes-
tic life has always been felicitous,
] have, at times, found this knOwl-
edge very convenient. A man who
knows how to do these things, at
all times honorable and sometimes
absolutely necessary to preserve
ones integrity, is ten times more
patient when calamity befalls than
one who has not these accomplish
ments.
a commentator of girls wcrk
from such an authority embOldens
the writer to add word in favor
of teaching boys how to work that
may be a relief TO a nervous, sick,
worried and Overworked mother
or wife, and be of important and
instant use in emergencies. A hun
cry man who cannot prepare his
food, dirty man who cannot clean
his clothes, a dilapidated man who
is compelled to use shingle nail
for a sewed on button, is helpless
and pitiable object. There are oc
caslons in almost every mans life
when to know how to sew, to ''keep
the house." to wash, starch, and
iron, would be valuable knowledge.
Such knowledge is no more Unmas-
culine and efTeminate than that of
the professional baker.
During the great civil war, the
forethought Of my mother in teach
ing me the mysteries Of household
work was a sweet boon, as the late
Artemus Ward would say. The
scant products of foraging when on
the march could be turned to APP
petizing food by means Of the
knowledge acquired in boyhood
and handy use of needle and
thread was a valuable accomplish
ment."
Circumstances of peculiar priva-
ton compelled the writer, as head
of helpless family, to undertake
the entire work. The instruction
of boyhood enabled him to cook
wash, starch, iron, wait on the sick
and do the necessary mental labor
of the house in a measurably clean.
" and quiet manner. This knOwl
edge is in no way derogatory to the
assumptive superiority of the male
portion of humanity; a boy who
knows how 10 sweep, to "tidy up
to make a bed, TO wash dishes, tt
set a table, to cook, to sew, to knit
to mend, to wait on the sick, to dC
chamber work, is none the less F.;
boy; and he may be more consid
crate husband, and will certainly
be a more independent bachelor
than without this practical knowl
edge. Let the boys be laugh
homework; it is better than play
ing seven up in a saloon.

Our Schools,
For THE CITIZEN:

| EOh Ahh S4AAE1N
The columns of the CITIZEN re-
veal a deplorable state of affairs in
regard to our educational interests.
The letter of the Hon. FlournOy
Rivers, urging senators and repe-
resentatives to exert themselves to
try to fill the vacancies in the State
University, is very significant. 1t
presents the spectacle of a well en-
dOwed and equipped educational in
stitution, supported by the state,
and designed for the education of
the masses, begging for pupils. 1t
not only offers free tuition but cheap
board and free passes on the RAIL
roads, and its ranks are untitled.
1t looks like Giles county with its
thirty five or forty thousand inhab-
itants and over four and half mil
lions of taxable property and its
abundant material prosperity ought
to furnish five or six candidates
willing and anxious to accept the
free scholarship without any solici-
tation. Yet it is no new thing, but
1t is regarded as one of the duties
of a representative to "draw up"
enough young men to accept his APP
pointments. This remarkable apa-
thy in regard to education ought to
engage the atten ton of every
thoughtful man in the country.
Our young men evidently do not
neglect the university because. they
are attending other schools of high
grade. l do not suppose that the
young men who go away from home
to school in Giles county and out of
it would support one school with
two teachers.
The true reason is very apparent.
Our primary schools are so poor
that they do not turn out pupils of
sufficient scholarship to pass the
examinations required by the uni
versity. They inspire no ambition
for any thing better in education
than they themselves furnish. We
are evidently retrograding in edu
cation. Whilst we have recovered |
from the effects Of the war in mate
rial resources, and have adapted
ourselves to the new order of things
In other respects, we have negl ected
the cultivation of the most impor-
tan crop, the rising generation.
The inefiiciency of our public
schools is universally admitted, yet
we make little effort to try to RENE
ly the evil. 1t is matter of so
much importance that we should
lot wait for the blair Bill to pass,
- for any other outside help. am

Paul II. Hayne will have in the
Southern BivOuac for October a paper
devoted to William Gilmore Simms, in
which some interesting comparisons
are made between the old and new
schools of fiction.
Gen. Alpheus Bakers article relating
to the conquest of the Creek Indians
will appear in the Southern Bivouac
for October, The romantic story of the
efforts OF the daughter of Hillishaio,
chief of the Creeks, to save his life, is
told with truth and spirit.
Perhaps the most remarkable CORES
pondence between the commander of an
army and his generals, Is that between
Gen. Bragg on the one side, and Gen
erals Cleburne, Hardee and Brecken-
ridge, on the other, after the battle of
Murfrees boro; Gen, Bragg was assailed
because of the retreat, and he wrote to
his generals asking if they had not adj
vised the movement, and further in
quiring If he had lost the confidence of
his army. This letter with the replies
of Genl. w. j. Hsrdee, Maj. Genl. p.
Cleburne and Maj. Genl. John c.
Breckenridge, will be published in the
Southern Bivouac for October.

The country ought to have the

There was not a more valuable man
in the last legislature and not an
ADLER, truer man in the state.
We would like to see him governor

nothing higher is attainable, he
ought to go back to the senate. If
it is insisted that Giles must fur
nish the nan this time, why we
suppose Lincoln will submit, but
unless some very extraordinary
reason is urged, we ought to waive
our rights for the general good and
return this able, upright man to the
senate.

\ CATASTROPHE almost too appalling to
relate occurred at Brooklyn, n. Y, last
Tuesday, being the collapse of II block
occupied by manufacturing establish
ments, in which 600 or 700 persons were
employed, over thirty of whom met
their death. 1t is the supposition that
the crash was caused by the giving way
of a wall that was being repaired, and
which was unevenly supported. Flames
broke out in the ruins almost simutan-
eously with the falling of the walls,
which made all efforts to relieve the UNI
fortunate ones practically non-eilectual.
