For Telling Horses Ages.

The full grown horse possesses twenty
four back teeth, that is, six in each
ride Of each jaw; these are called mclars
or grinders. He has twelve front teeth,
that is six in each jaw. Mares have no
bushes. Tho foal has either at his birth
or shortly afterward eight milk teeth,
that is four in each jaw; at about II
months two moro milk teeth come in
each jaw. These remain unchanged till
he is 8 years old. The Mouth of the
yearling and 2-Year old cannot be con-
founded. The yearling mouth shows
no signs Of use, and the corner teeth are
shells only; at 2 years old these teeth
are strong and well grown aud the
corner teeth filled up. A little before 3
years the two centre teeth of each jaw
fall out and are replaced by permanent
teeth. A little before 4 the two teeth on
each side Of the centre teeth are replaced
,by permanent ones. A little before 5 the
two remaining are shed and in their place
come permanent ones. The upper milk
teeth usually fall out first.
Thus the mouth is completed as to its
front teeth; the corner tooth. however is
but impcrfectly developed, being at pres
ent a she'll only; This shell at 6 years old
has filled up and is a complete tooth.
This is tho difference between a 5 and a
g years old. The tushes appear between
~ and 4 years old, and they take nearly
two years to arrive at their full growth.
These teeth, rs the horse grows older:
get bluptcr and shorter, and 30 to an cx-
pcrienced judge. are 4 sure indication Of
age.Up to 9 years old the mouth is in a
distinct and periodical state of struc.
tional change. There is no difficulty in
determining the age up to that date.
After that the age must be judged by
the shape Of the mouth and the appear
nncc OF the teeth called the mark. At 6
years OF age the cups leave two centre
teeth above, at 7 the next two above at 8
tho outer or corner teeth above.
At 8 the W. centre teeth below lose
the cut, at 10 the next two below, and at
IL tho outer or corncrtceth below. After
Il little practice the close observer can
scarcely make a mistake. The changes
that occur are the same in all horses. or

Mrs. Mosely, wife Of DR.. j. B. Moscly,
of Lowndcsville, died st the residence
Of her brother-in-law. Capt. TT. Barnes,
in this city, last Monday morning at 4
O'Clock, aged 50 years. Mrs. Moscly
had been in bad health for olne time
past, and came to this city two or three
weeks ago on n visit to relatives, think
ing that the change would prove bene-
fetal. She gradually grew worse, how.
ever, until death called her away. He,
remains were carried to Lowndesyille on
Monday afternoon for interment. She
leaves a husband and four children to
mourn her death. She was a faithful

the new corporation is backed by the
millions Of the Pennsylvania Central, the
wealthicst raili Dad corporation in the
world. This great system is looking for
q Southern outlet, and the proposed road
gives it the shortest route possible. 1t
will give Georgia two competing lines
East and will be Of incalculable benefit
to Elberton, Athens and Atlanta. The
Georgia part Of the line makes almost an
air line from Elberton to Atlanta, pass
ing through Athens, Stone Mountain
and Decatur. 1t is readily seen that this
portion Of the line. even if it were c4-
tended no further than Elbcrton, would
have one Of the best local lines in Geor-
gia.
1t reduces tho distance from Elberton
to Atlanta about half, aud from Athens to
Atlanta by about q third, putting them
within about and hour and three-quar-
tiers Of the Gate City.
The locating Of the new line will be
begun as soon as the bill for its charter
has been passed by the Legislature. The
South Carolina and North Carolina
charters have already been passed and
the road is already located from the
Savannah river to Monroe, N. c., where
it connects with the Carolina Central
to Norfolk. Portsmouth and the East.

r. j. Cluverias.

RICHMOND. Nov. 29.-As tho day (lO
Of Decembco) approaches for the cxecu-
ton Of r. j. Cluverius for the murder of
Fanny Lillian Madison. public interest
in the case increases. According to ap-
pointment the prisoners counsel had ar
ranged to call on Gov. Lee today present
ing to him petitions both for pardon and
for the comm utation Of the sentence to
life imprisonment, which had been
freely calculated through tho State and
received numerous signatures. They
did not, however, present themselves to
the Governor.
The reason assigned being that the
opinion Of Judge Hinton, Of the Supreme
Court of Appeals, upon the question of
granting a new trial to tho prisoner lin
which he dissentcd from the opinion of
the other Judges who affirmed the judge
ment Of the lower court) had not been
prepared, and counsel wished to have it
so MS to present it to the Governor to-
gother with petitions. Judge Hinton is
preparing his dissenting opinion, and
may have it ready by to-marrow but
there is no certsinty about it..
There is much speculation ;as to the
action Of the Governor but he had giver
expression to nothing that would indi
gate what he will do. 1t is generally
believed. however that even if he re.
fuses TO interfere with the execution OF
the sentence on ths prisoner, he will a,
least respite him for a time. Rumors
are in circulation this evening, tina,
Clvuerius has made a statement giving
m account of his whereabouts on the
night Of the 18th Of March, 1884 the
night Of the murder of Miss Madison
but they cannot be traced to any relia.
bic source. He will doubtless do so bu,
it is not expected that it will be made
public before it goes into the hand of the
Ghvernor. -

The Atlanta Wine Rooms.

ATLANTA, GA, November 18th"
liquor question is again to the front in
Atlanta. The law permits the sale
of domestic wine, and since prohibition
went into effect thirty-six wine looms
have been licensed, so that there is as
much drinking as ever. Twelve Of these
have been licensed within the last ten
days, and not less than $50 will bc.in
operation by Christmas.
1t is notorious that wine is not the
only liquid sold in these places, but
witnesses willing to testify cannot be
procured, while the barkeepers have a
black list Of all the Proh%ibitionists in
the city. Even the wine sold is a vile
chemical compound which crazes the
drinker. The Prohibitienists realize
that they have a law which it is hard to
enforce. For this time in the history Of
the city notices are now posted in large
workshops threatening the discharge Of
employees who drink in the buildings.
This has been brought about by the
great craze Of bottle drinking.
The Prohibitionists now intend to ask
the City Council to put on q prohibitory
wine license Of $4,000, but the present
Council is adverse to such legislation,
and the next one will be still more so.
If tho proprietor Of n wine room wants
to sell whiskey, all he has to do is to let
the fact be known to a few reliable Gus
toners, and when they come in and call
for n BEETLE of domestic wine set out the
whiskey. Each man takes his drink,
and one Of the party asks what the bot
tic Of wine is worth, and the price is
named equal to as many drinks as were
taken.

An interesting calculation has been
made by a New York paper, showing
how the steady and rapid payment of
the public debt incurred in the civil
war, combined with the reduction of
the interest rate and the increase of
the population of the country, has af-
fected the debt burden borne by our
people per capita In 1865 the debt
amou lted to 1925 per capita. Last
year it amounted TO only S2i,14. In
1855 the per capita portion of the an
nual interest charge was 81 80. Last
year it was about eighty-three cents
The ratio of the principal is now but
two-thirds what it then was; that of
the annual interest is but little more
than one fifth.-P, II. Tribune.
