OUR DISABLED SOLDIERS.
The Comptroller General Seeks the Names
of all Entitled to Aid from the Stute

of all Entitled to Aid from the State.
Comptroller General Stoncy has
recently issued the following circular:
The General Assembly, at its last
session, passed an Act instructing the
Comptroller-Gcneral "to investigate
and report to the next session of the
General Assembly the names and con-
dition ofall citizens of this State who
are unable 10 earn livelihood by rea-
son OF wounds or other disabilities in
CURED while in the service Of the State
during the war between the States"
In order to carry out the provisions
of this Act, the COmptrollCr-Gcucr
has prepared blank forms CT applica-
ton and sent the same to the Clerks of
Court, from whom they may be OBJ
tanned, aud he requests that all citizens
of the State embraced within the pro.
visions Of the Act, will as soon as
possible forward to him their names
with all Of the information required on
the blank.
The applicant must be citizen of
the State, and must have incurred the
disability while i'm the service Of the
State. lie must file the necessary Ger
lltlcatcs to show that he is unable to
earn livelihood by reason of physical
disability, and that this disability is
the effect of wounds Cor injury) re-
cclYed while in the service CT the State.
AS the Act provides for u list of such
persons only, it will be waste of
time, resulting only in disappointment,
to any others who may take the trouble
to send their names.

they are in the library attending TO

in the morning, when the House adj
jolrns. The ole. time aristocratic dim
nerhours have been abolished. "Counts

no more talking to empty benches. At
all hours there is an audience for any
one having anything to say worth
listening to, and what is equally i'm
p0rtant, an audience ready promptly
to suppress borcs. The Government
has lost its grip over members. The
word "ministcr5" is no longer law.

masters, and they will not sand any
nonsense. They vote against the min

Already they have established Par

consistent. They no longer. dare to

Treatment Of Young Colts.

! Colts should be Kept growing from

months old, the milk OF Il good Ayr

| give the colt a very good start. Besides
this, he should have d few quarts of oat 4
daily, with plenty of g6Ud sweet early
cut hay, Glover, timothy or red-tup),
with an occasional feed of good straw.
There should be rock salt accessible ut
all times, and good running or spring
water, and an occasional feed of car
rots. This treatment. with good warm
quarters and plenty of room for excl

providing his breeding is all right, he

Farming and Getting Rich.
Massachusetts Pl0ughman.


It may be wholly idle to attempt to
stem the tide that is rising with such a
force in this country in favor OF mere
riches, but in the case of farmers it il
as well to lay the simple truth before
them as to Withhold. Without in the
least presuming to dictate motives OF
aims to any class of men, we may never
tEleless say, with perfect truth and re-
spect for their status and privileges,
that farmers, Of all men, are the ye, '
last ones who need trouble themselves
about riches as other people do Pos
sessing and living upon their own pro-
ductive acres, they have all the re-
sources of wealth constantly in THEN
own hands. They are sure of shelte.,
of food and OF needful clothing to tot
and mOil, pinch and screw, starve aud
deny, merely to be accounted worth ii
certain amount of money, is only vast
ing the precious term OF life which

We will indulge in no moralizing on
the subject further than to say that to
go without in order to scrape together
il certain sum Of money, and then to
leave it behind without ever having the
productive and enjoyable use of il, is
the folly Of childishness itself. 10 pro-
vide, against the accidents of life and
the infirmties of possible old age, is of
course every mans duty, and should
supply the stimulus to exertion; but to
become slave, to starve the higher and
better nature, and to deny rational en-
joyment to ones self and merely to be
reckenptl worth so many dollars, is folly
sndefensible.
A man on his own farm, we'll cultivat-
ed and kept, well stocked with good
modern dwellings and barns and out
buildings, master of both time and acres,

ties, free to come and go according to

inc sense of that word as any man can
