Dnnoa VINO CATTLE.


The subject Of dehorning cattle. es-
pecially dairy cows aud bulls, is being
discussed at much length in the stock
papers. A Mr.. Haaf. Of Illinois. who is
champion Of the process, tells the West
ern Rural, Of Chicago, that full-grown
animals can BIZ dehorned at any time
without injury. In Ay-time use little
turpentine and bit Of tow. Cut close
to the hair so that ii will grow and cover
the wound. Mr.. Haaf says that it is 4
positive necessity to cut close to the hair,
and he usually takes of little hair with
the saw. The result il that all the hurn
growth proceeds from the base, just above
the hair. Above this the horn is spongy
aud full Of blood vescicles, while at the
base it 10 simply hone covered with skin.
Properly done. the operation leaves two
holes apparently into the skull. There
is no trouble experienced from bleeding,
the flow Of blood stopping itself. The
manner Of the operation is Of the most
Importance. and where many fail. Mr..
Haaf's instructions are to use halter, !
strong rope being the best. Put it on
aud let it come back Of the earn.
Then, with the animal in q stanchion,
throw over the halter strap and draw the
head - high as possible and to one side.
and bring the strap around and over the
nose 20 a. to bind the head to the stan.
chious in an immovable position. This
presents one horn for the operation,
which can be performed with = small
stiff saw or meat saw. Mr.. Haaf does
not think the cattle suffer much from the
operation. Other correspondents who
have dehorned their cattle say that their
animals lost scarcely tablespoonful oil
blood, and that after the cattle were re.
leased they went to feeding ss though
nothing had happened.

Hens eggs were in great generation
with the ancients. The Romans exhib-
tied them with great reverence in their
festivals Of Ceres. The Greeks equally
honored them. The Japanese are very
fond Of eggs. They cat them as dessert
like fruit, and very often with oranges.
The rich Japanese are very particular
concerning them. They will not eat
those Of fowls which have full liberty and
feed on what they picked up. They
must be fed on rice. and they must lay
their eggs in rooms prepared for that
purpose.

Councils Sentiment.

Resulting from some very vigorous ex-
preston of individual opinion upon the
Free Market question, at the meeting of
Council ON Thursday evening last, the fact
has been evolved that there exists an
undercurreut of sentiment among the men,
bers of that body that the ordinance Of
restriction is an injudicious one.
In fact that expression was subtantiated by
a resolution which was passed ordering the
City Surveyor to mark off allotments ofspace
for the farmers, extending to Ninth street.
1t would hardly be fair to towards those
members who voted in favor of this resou-
tion to stigmatize this action as self-stulti-
ficatiUn.
Many conflicting questions and interests
have evolved themselves during the discuss
ion, and in the midst of the absence OF
legal counsel, or, at least, of the appearance
ofany constitional inspiration in the pre-
paration of this recent ordinance, it is not
a reyela tion to the citizens that City Coun.
Gil should make sucE peculiar exhibition
of themselves.
The probability is that tn outcome will
be the establishment of the Free Market
free and unrestricted, from Front street
to Ninth or Brandywine Hundred even
should tho exigencies of business require
| it.
As stated by this Journal ON different
occasions the restriction ordinance has III
equity or justice in it. Itis dubbed a law by
virtue of the Mayor and City Council's
4 approvcd-and all citizens and farmers will
obey it, But legitimate agitation of the
question must be maintained until it i.
abrogated in fact, and its theory substantial
lily condemned
Madison Market cannot exs. through the
restriction of King street market. Limiting
the latter does not ensure the existence o.
the former. To rob the one does not neces
sarily bolster up the other.
Above all if private citizen wshe.
to trade in King street there is no constitu
tional power i'll existence that can coerct
him to trade elsewhere.

Disguised Democrats.
The Philadelphia New

1t is an indisputable fact that serious
dissensions and disgust exist among DemJ.
Gratis.
The rows that Mr.. Bayard's diplomatic
appointments have created is enough toshow
the tension of party feeling. The recent
remarks of General Bragg, of Wisconsin, OF
Senator Eustis, of Louisiana, and of Senator
Harris, of Tennessee, are still more authentic
proof that harmony does not exist in the
clamorouS choir OF Democrats.
Secretary Bayard is the object of Senator
Harris attack and he seems to consider
Delaware's favorte son as a hypocrtital
dummy.
The lines are tightening and being closely
drawn on the part of the Democratic
"workers." AS Congressman Collins, OF
Boston, said on Wednesday, the working
Democrats believe that the voters have
decreed that the Democrats shall have
the responsibility, and il they are to be
responsible they must also have the power
in their hands.

present, also a graduating class of five

The fact is we are over governed. There
are too many domestic laws 1taud in truth
state laws Interfering with municipal laws.
The general tone of the new laws is of that
of restriction. That is an element whose
presence in any statute, especially of that of
municipal corporation cannot be too
strongly condemned.
The truth of this assertion will be rccog-
nized at sight, for to it may be attributed a
great deal of the annoyance and expense to
which the citizens of Wilmington have been
and are daily subjected.
The market ordinances are difficult 10
be construed. A dual construction is claim
ed for them. 1t is asserted that they are in
conflict with the state laws, and 'out of
klter'' with the city or borough charter.
How then can they be obeyed?
City Council did not make these laws,
they "knew nothing of them" But City
Council is responsible for Atrc- present. free
market muddle. There appears to be gen
eral satisfaction with the enactment sup.
pressing the "shinners." They were al
ready infracting the laws. But the more re.
cent ordinances restricting, compelling, en-.
dorsing ex-parte legislation, and interfering
with the inherent rights of the private citi
zen, is a matter that deserved more of saga
cious consideration than had been accorded
them.

tits becoming more and more generally
recognized that intemperance is at the
bottom of two-thirds of the social, politi-
cal, and moral evils that retard progress
and perpex and harass the legislator. 1t
is being comprehended that an effective and
safe franchise requires sobrety and intelli
gence in the voter. In fact it is being
realized that the future of the country de-
pends largely in mastering the clements
which have their origin and derive all their
strength from rum, ard which initiate at

ted, our ship arsenals burned, our dock
yards annihilated. At that fatal moment,
fatal industrally speaking, at the immedi-
ate close of the war when our raw products
w>re awaiting shipment to England and the
continent of Europe, there were no dock
yards, no shp-building plant to set to work
and rebuild merchant marine.
Our New York merchants called for ships.
Their warehouses were piled up with goods
awaiting ocean transit! In reply to inqui-
ries around the ship-bui.ders Of the Atlantic
coast, along the Delaware and in New York,
it was ascertained that their dock-yards and
plant was utterly destroyed and that consc-
quently the shipping needed at that moment
could not be got, nor could be expected un-
I'll the necessary works, dock-yards built and
new plant were furnished. The alternative
was unavoidable!
All the merchandise Of New York, in 9th
er words, of the country, was emptied into
English bottoms. Were our ship-builders
ready at that critical moment to rebuild,
there would have been no wholesale trans
ference of American cargocs to English
ships no iriecoverable loss of ocean freight
age.
Now contrast Englaud's position, in this
connection of ship building, should she go to
war with Russia. Nobody is so ignorant of
facts as to assume that she cannot, at least,
defend her own dock-yards. That being
the case England will be ready, Immediately
war is over to re,enter vigorously into the
industry of building ships, for which she is
so thoroughly adapted and hablitatcd.
Additionally so, as having according to
the Herald peculiar policy, sold all her old
tubs to the United States as ocean freight
ers, and, needing new ones to replace them,
will all the more readily set to work, as she
will have in hand the money paid by us for
her refuse ships which the enterprising
Herald is so precipitately anxious that we
should buy.
Second-when the two or three years OF
Anglo-Russian war is over we shall have
gained, according to the Herald, that num-
Der of years pay in ocean carrying freight
age. We shall have on hand a given num-
Der OF secondhand ships!-but shall we
have gained ship-building ndustry9
| We put the question to aly candid reader,
does not that query bear within it the more
important point. Is it not better for this
country to be sh!p-building community
than purely ship buying community? Ad-
ditionally, ship-builders can, at will, be ship
owners and ship buyers.
We're the Heralds short-sightcd policy
adopted we shall have gained nothing
nearer to this most desired of all industries,
than that of being tinkeiers of the second,
hand ships We have bought from England
And after ali we shall have to resume oui
old course of buying from England, main
