What a shock it would give some
delicate people, who shiver at the idea
OF ventilation in cold weather. if
| they could see the air they breathe as
1t really is; if they could behold all
the crawling, creeping, wriggling
creatures and poisonous gasses that
inhabit the air of close shut rooms.
Air is a washing fluid the lung cells
are the wash tubs; and the blood.
coming from all parts OF the body
loaded with effete matter, corresponds
to the dirty clothes to be washed. Air
| coming from the lungs is relatively
IN precisely the same condition as
dirty dish water. Not to mention
health, how pleasant is the idea of
breathing over and over again the
air whicA has washed out the other
peoples luncs-somA Of them per-
haps diseased!
Scratches in HOrSef.
This complaint often occurs in ami
mails whose blood is impure, and is
much more frequent In Fall and
Spring than at any other seasons.
For an internal remedy, TO three
fourths Of a pound of sulphur add one
fourth Of a pound of pulverized salt
petre and mix thoroughly, so that
every spoonful that is taken up will
contain three parts of sulphur and
one Of saltpetre Give tablespoon
full in the feed every night for another
week. WasA the leg affected with
scratches with carbolic soapsuds, or
if that is not conveniently obtained,
use CASTLE soap and add two table
spoonfuls of carbolic acid crystals to
each gallon Of water. Rub dry with
soft cloths after bathing, so as to avoid
taking cold, which would aggravate
the difficulty.
If there is much heat and swelling
in the leg, take one pint of good cider
vinegar, half-pint of alcohol and
two ounces Of pulve1ized blue vltriol.
Put Into bottle and let the vitriol
dissolve. Shake thoroughly, then
with sponge wet with the mixture
spat the affected part of the leg light
ly, being careful to wet all the sores
thoroughly morning and night. This
will help reduce the inflammation
and cause the sores TO heal. Should
the skin be dry and covered with
scurf after the sores have healed, add
to bottle containing six ounces of
glycerine, one ounce of carbolic acid
in crystals. and when thoroughly
mixed by shaking apply a light coat
ing once 8 day, washing it off every
few days with warm carbol.c soapsuos
or CASTLE soapsuds with carbolic acid
added, as suggested.
Be careful not to have the animal
stand where cold draugh of air will
come in contact with it's heels, also be
particularly careful to remove all
weddings as soon as dropped. One-
fourth of a table spoonful of cayenne
pepper two or three times week,
given in a bucket of water or at night
IN feed, will have beneficial effect,
as it serves to promote digestion

ST.. Lou1s, Oct. 10-None of the horse
car lines involved in the strike ran last
night. The police guarded the lines Of
those companies who are still running cars.
The riot yesterday, and the killing of Har-
yey. seems to have sobered the strikers
somewhat. There have been 800 extra
policemen put on the force. At the meet
ing of business men it was resolved that
the time had come for the citizens to inter
fere to prevent the riotous proceedings Of
yesterday and to-day; also that the railroad
companies must be protected In the pur-
suit of their legitimate business, and that
all men willing to work shall have an OF.

night was opening night at the Park Rink,
and not many short Of 1000 people took
advantage OF the attractions offered. This
rink Hhas been much improved since it
closed last Spring. The most noticeable
improvements are the enlargement of the
skating surface by rs feet, and the addi-
ton of galleries on the Jersey avenue and
Erie street sides. Four electric lights, be-
sides numerous gas jets, illuminate the
inside of the rink, besides twenty-f four
gas Jets on the outside. The skating
surface measures 97x76 feet. Mr. @. H.
Evans who had charge of the Madison
Square Garden at several of the great six
day pedestrian matches has assumed the
management of the rink, while the music,
furnished by Prof. Allesio's full band, of
New York, is the best of that at any of the
other Kinks in the county. The attendance
last night consisted of the best people in
that section of the city. Miss Minnie

that they are to have successful season.
TO the Payonia rink a large crowd
was attracted by the announcement
of game of polo to be contested between
the Jaffrey team, of New York, and the
Payonias. The Jaffreys made the first goal
and the home team scored the next four
successive goals, winning the game. I e
time of tie game was forty minutes. The
two-mile race between Thomas and White
was won by the latter in seven minutes
and four seconds, beating the record in
this State by four seconds.

diced against him personally, it arises from the
fact that he more than any living man. has
brought reproach on the Military Academy
and Regular Army. with which he was asso-
ciated from 1924 to 1885, by impairing the fair
fame they had earned for fidelity to their oaths,
to recover which we have had to battle with an
adverse public opinion ever since. Whilst he
was a cadet and an army officer he must have
taken the customary oaths to support, main
tain, and defend the Constitution of the United
States against all her enemies and opposers
whomsoever," and whilst Secretary of War and
Senator in Congress he must have taken SINH
lar oath; yet he did conspire with Others as
early as January, 1861, after Mr.. Lincoln was
fairly and constitutionally elected President of
the United States, to destroy the very Govern
ment which he had sworn TO defend, and he
did set up another Government necessarily hos
tile to it, of which he became the head, and did
whilst President of the Southern Confederacy
"change his States Rights principles the very
doctrine on which he had justified secession
from the United States, and then opposed State
sovereignty. These are plain, palpable facts,
not likely to be forgotten by the present gen.
GRAFTON or the next if ever. l say, therefore,
with full knowledge of the consequences, he
enrolled his name with those of Arnold and
Burr. instead Of as he might have done, with
Washington and Lincoln.
AN END FOR THE PRESENT.
This is all propose to say at this time.
Meantime the Government will, / trust, go
on to publish the records and correspondence
of the war, both Union and Confederate, and
can await the result with perfect composure.
The Grand Army of the Republic also, with
its 1900 Posts and 25i, ,454 old Union soldiers,
will continue to meet to interchange their
thoughts, sing their patriotic songs, and per-
petuate the memories and traditions of the war
of the rebellion, quite as important and quite
as lasting as can be the more formal document
airy history.
No nation can afford to put fidelity and
trcachery on a par and hope to survive; and
that this Government means to survive and
perpetuate its invaluable advantages 1 have
abundant faith.
