How 10 Treat BaiKy Horses.

From the Country Gentleman.
The habit of baking in double harness can
be easily overcome by means of a cord one
fourth of an inch in diameter and sixteen feet
in length an iron ring about one and half
inches in diameter and piece of strong twine
some two feet i'm length. Fasten the ring
securely by means of the twiDe to the back
strap, where il is crossed by the breeching
strap, then double the cord, placing the loop
formed by the centre under the balky horses
tail like crupper. Cross the cord and pass
both ends through the ring attached TO the
back strap. Garry them forward and pass
them through that ferret ring on the saddle OF
the harness which is next TO the balky candi-
dates mate, then carry them through the
hame ring of the kind horse and fasten them,
leaving little slack, but not sufficient to al
low the balky horse to settle into the breech-
ing of the harness. Alter completing this
arrangement, step back, take the reins and
start slowly. OF course the balky one Will
attempt to hang back, but the sensation pro
duced by the cord will divert his attention
in a very short time, and before he realizes
what he is doing he will put his shoulder to
the collar and help draw the load. This Is
much better than whipping and few les
sons will generally effect permanent cure

I Yfh suit at Longview, Texas, John w.
|kuncan, ONO OF tho attorneys in the case,
vehemently argued that no value or reliance
could be placed upon petitions promiscu-
ously signed by citizens. Opposing counsel
refuted Duncan's augment scathingly and
characterized it as absurd and idiotic. The
court and the jury were also against Duncan.
They believed that petitions in any cause, if
signed by good men, were entitled to re-
spectful consideration.
Chagrined and defeated, but not convinced
that he was wrong, Duncan quietly went to
work to prove that petitions were of no value.
His ingenious zeal was rewarded Tuesday,
when in open court he read solemn petition
praying that the court would hang their fel-
low townsman Luke Howard, who is one of
the most respectable and enterprising citizens
of the place. Duncan displayed the names
of all the county officers and of fifty business
men signed to this ludicrous petition.
Among the signers were the brother-in-law
and father-in-law of Howard, Every sigma
ture was proven to be genuine and it was
conceded that Lawyer Duncan had proved
his argument

The board Of public charities of the conf

unlawful for the overseers or directors of the

Hard to Find q Treasurer.

The city of Lynchburg Virginia, finds it
difficult to secure a treasurer, owing to the
fact that bond of 100000 is required. "V.
G. Dunnington was reelected nearly three
months ago, but failed to give bonds. ID. r.
Dunn, Republican, was then appointed by
Judge Latham, and it was announced that
Senator Malone would furnish his bond.
Dunn changed his mind and declined to
qualify. John w. Hughes was appointed
and gave the necessary bond, but ten minutes
thereafter was found TO be Ineligible, not re-
siding within the corporate limits. Judge
Latham then appointed John w. Bransford,
prominent tobacconist, who gave bond and
will take charge OF the Office at once"

A Hrrcn I'm a CREMATION.
New York Friends of the Last Subject Com
plain that the Apparatus Did Not Work
Entirely satisfactorily.

Entirely satisfactorily.
Through the columns OF the New York
Tribune the friends OF the late DIR. Charles
Hoppel, whose body was cremated here on
Monday, give an account of the operation. 1t
Ii substantially like that of most cremations,
now familiar to our readers, except that In
this case 1t is said " the heavy iron door Of
the retort was opened and the platform upon
which the body rested was pushed in front of
the opening. A small wire which ran through
the retort was then attached TO the iron CRATE
and was wound around roller by means OF
crank, and tho body was slowly drawn
into the retort. After the feet of the doctor
had got inside the wire caught In the opening
and despite tho efforts OF tho attendant the
body could not be drawn any further into the
furnace. While seeking for some other means
TO move the corpse the alum sheet caught hre
and the flames were speedily communicated
TO the clothing upon the body and before II
could be moved into the retort the flesh
was already burning and tho odOr filled
the room TO the great disgust OF Dr. Hoppels
| friends, who were sadly watching the pro-
ceedings. The body finally being in the re-
| tort, the doors were closed and shut out the
| hiss of the steaming flesh"
There is some exaggeration in this account,
| 1t Is true that rather unsuccessful attempt
was made to draw the iron crib containing
| the body into the retort, with the wire cable
| attached to wheel and crank, lately con
| structed, and which mas workeu very sue
cessfully several times; for some unaccount
able reason there was hitch. the cable be
came entangled and the attendants not beinl
prepared for such an emergency were slight,
delayed in pushing the crib completely with
in the door. During this time tho shroud
ings broke into blaze, but il was only mo

was, was the first of its kind occurring Ii

spend the Christmas holidays with his
family at Albania, in Spain, and had a

the friends left, and he sat talking

number, when suddenly one end of the

the tables and shelves. They re-
NAMED in total darkness, dazed and
wondering what had happened. Pres
emily he supposed it was an earth
quake, and called to his wife and
children to come out into the street.
He reached the street door and the
street was in total darkness. The air
was filled with the dust of crumbling
buildings. Afraid to go out, he stood
shivering and undecided, when Sec
ond shock came and the kitchen fell
in, killing two servants. A piece of
wood fell upon his wife, breaking her
log. He then carried his wife out over
pile of ruins. The narrow, dark
streets were so changed by the debris
that it was hard to recognize them.
He reached the open fields, where he
found that many had preceded him.
He left his wife with friends and re-
turned for his children. He brought
three the next trip, and then the other
two. ALI the way, while crawling
over pieces of ruins, he heard the CRIES
Of those that had been caught and
could not extricate themselves. Every
voice was familiar. He met neighbors
telling each other of the loss of rela-
ives and friends. The horror Of such
IN experience was unparalleled. The
night was spent in the open field,
on the ground. entertaining
ears and suffering grief, terror and
,orrid uncertainty.-St. Louis Globe

SHUTTING OUT CARE.r

We may open the door to our neighbors,
And open the door to our friends;
We may entertain guests at our table,
While friendship with courtesy blends;
We may gather our dear ones about US
Our helpmeet and children so fair
But let us forget not TO Danish
From these tender meetings. dull care.
1t watches at doors and at windows;
1t whistles through crannies and cracks;
1t giveth the good man the headache;
Itpinches and tortures.and racks.
1t sits down unasked at the table;
1t crouches beside the down bed;
1t takes all the brightness from slumber;
1t takes all the sweetness from bread.
OF all things to make our lives happy,
or all things to make our paths fair,
There is nothing from Homes cheerful firesids
So sacred like shutting out care.
