SUMMER CARE OF WORK HORSES.

The grooming it is called-of
horses, is quite as important as the
feeding, and in summer time when
the teams are worked hard, II is in.
dispensable to their welfare. When
a horse is working, the excretion
from the skin is profuse, and pours
from it in the form of perspiration.
When this dries on the skin it
leaves quantity of impure matter
adhering to it, which is apt to close
the pores and prevent the escape Of
the perspiration. This produces dis
order, in the form of congestion of
the myriads of capillary vessels
which form a close network near
the surface of the body, and the ex-
erection and secretioDs being stopped,
the skin becomes harsh, dry, con-
tracted aud diseased. The impure
matter-being unable TO escape
gathers in places and forms pimples,
blotches or tumors and, If it is not
removed, there is danger Of poison.
ing the blood, and, with the appear
ance OF farcy and CHAMBERS, finally
death. All this may be prevented
by careful attention to the skin, by
occasional washing, regular curry
ing and brushing, and proper care
to avoid CALLING by the rubbing OF
ill.fitting harness. AS prevention IS
the best cure, it is well that owners
of horses should exercise all possible
precautions to avoid the frequent
disorders which result from neglect
In the direction pointed out, and
thus save much annoyance and loss.

A WORD OF REMoNsTRANcE.

The Republicans of the several
Congressional districts in this State
have had a surfeit of personal spar
ring between certain gentlemen who
aspire to be leaders. That they hare
been valued leaders in the past is
admitted, though in reality that
point is not under discussion but
that they will ever in the future be
given prominence in field or III line
depends altogether upon the celebrity
with which their displayed dirty
linen is withdrawn from view. The
party has endured in silence just
about as much of this sort of per.
sonal warfare as it can stand. The
masses of the party care nothing for
the private grievances of gentlemen,
and take no part in private quarrels.
Parade of these issues disturbs
only to the extent that it distraCts
attention from more important work,
and if it is longer continued the
people will sit down on every blessed
one of the offenders, or we mistake
the beat of the public pulse. Let MS
hear no more of it, gentlemen the
Republican party is not Keyser
convention, nor a New Martinsville
circus, nor yeta Wheeling menagerie.

came that the man had been dis

went at once to Secretary Smiths
office. "What kind of a fool have
you in the Architects Officer" said
he. "He has dismissed the only
locksmith in the city that under
stands the Treasury locks, and has
put no one in his place." The new
chief clerk was sent for. When ask.

ed by the House. The Baltimore
harbor appropriation has been In
creased to 100000, while S17,275
has been appropriated for the piers
at Battery Island, washed away by
the ice. Senator Wilson's amend
ment for $4,000 for Pocomoke river
has been incorporated in the bill.
The additions for Pennsylvania,
Virginia, Delaware and West Vir-
gina are as following: Pennsyl-
vania- Susquehanna river between
Salt Lick river and Buttermilk Falls,
$4,000; Allegheny river, for Herr's
Island dam, $4,000; Delaware
river, S2S0,00O, of which $4,000 is
to be expended between Camden,
N. j., and Philadelphia. Delaware
--Nanticoke river, $4,000; St.
Johns river, $4,000. Virginia
Norfolk harbor, s25O,OOO; Apo
mattox river, $4,000; New river,
$4,000; James river (decrease),
100000. West Virginia-Great
Kanawha river, 100000. The bill
will pass the Senate. Of course, it
will be agreed to by the House in
conference, but whether the Presi-
dent will ever consent to sigh the
bill is an entirely different matter.
There are so many jobs in it that, as
a prominent member expressed it
to-day, "The President would as
lsoon as jump over the dome of the
Capitol as sign the BILL" Those
who know claim that the President
will veto it, and that the additions
by the Senate have only added to
its death knell. If he vetoes it, will
Congress pass it over the veto ?
Those who depend on the appropri-
ations to aid taem in getting back
again to Congress claim that there
will be enough votes to pass it over
the Presidents veto. This is yet
doubtful, and cannot be told until
the President does veto it.

POETRY.
PARTED.

The silver brook will miss thee,
The breeze that used to kiss thee,
And ruffie with a soft caress thy curls
of sunny hair;
When the early dewdrops glisten
On the roses, they will listen
For thy step upon the garden walk,
laughter in the air.
The meadows gay with flowers,
The summers leafy bowers,
Will know thy joyous smile no more ;
The woodlands stand fOrlorn ;
I hear the soft complaining
OF birds, from mirth refraining,
That greeted with their carols sweet
thy walking every morn.
Poor mother! hush thy weeping,
Above thy darling sleeping,
Nor fret with aught of earthly grief
the stiffness where he lies,
Flowers in his little fingers,
Where the rosy flush still fingers,
For the angels are his playmates on
the plains of Paradise.

SELECTIONS.

A RELIC OF THE WAR.-An ugly
war relic was unexpectedly develop
ed in the saw.mill of the Paducah
Lumber Company, at Paducah, KY,
a few days ago. In cutting huge
cypress log, which was culled from
a raft Of timber just outside of the
Tennessee river, the saw grated up
on some substance which threatened
to demoliSh it before the machinery
could be stopped. Investigation
found an eighteen-pound loaded
bombshell embodied in the log, in
which the sharp teeth of the saw
had traced a cut a third of an inch
deep. Nothing outside the log in

turbed. The lettering and figuring
on the leaden plug to the shell,
through which the fuse passed, are
still as plain as ever, and show that
the fuse was clipped to burst the
bomb at ], 200 yards. 1t is probable

furnished the projectile, as the trees
throughout the Pittsburg Landing

SING-S0NG.

/
Sing of the bobolink hid in the clover;
Sing of the summer winds lost out
to sea;
Sing of blue skies and the clouds that
float over,
The old days and golden that once
used to be.
Sing and be glad, -clasped hands and
sing on
OF the days of your youth and the
years that are gone.
Sing of the old-fashioned lullabies,
Crooned by your mother above her
first-born
Never again will such sweet melodies
Gret life's weary pilgrim, bent,
gray and forlorn;
There's rest in the region where the
roses once grew;
There's peace in the thought as it
drifts back to you.
Sing of the land where the wheat fields
are glowing;
Sing of the green-bannered corn and
the breeze;
Sing of bronZed workers who sing at
their moving;
sing OF the birds and sing OF the
trees,
Sing of life's morn and its glorified
Mays
When your heart travels back over
old-fashioned ways.
A song or sigh may make you touch
fingers
With the youth that is gone, and let
you clasp hands
With the maiden long dead, whose
memory fingers
Like a perfume blown back from
life's fairy-lands.
Sing and be glad, clasped hands and
sing on
Of the days of your youth and the
years that are gone.

HANDIcRAFT.

Ii is the practice in some families
to have each child taught some COM
mon, useful work of handicraft.
There are two families which in re-
gard to wealth and social position
may be said to stand as high as any
in this kind of training.
The young Rothchildsare all made
to use their hands, and the sons and
grandsons of the Emperor of Ger
many have been regularly instructed
in various trades. The old Kaiser
has room in bis palace at Berlin
where he can read books that have
been bound by the Crown Prince,
and sits in chairs made by his grand
son.
often think we would all be hap
pier if we followed the example thus
set. / do not fancy that either the
kings of men or the kings of money
have educated their children in this
way under any belief that they
might be compelled to get their liv-
ing by the labor of their hands. If
the Rothchilds were to be bankrupt,
and the HohenzolleIns driven into
exile, the former could always make
a livelihood rs business men, and
tho latter as officers and command.
ers in an army.
1t is not, then, to provide against
any possible accidents to their for
tunes that they have been taught
other work than that which they
are called on as princes and bank
ers to spend their lives in doing. 1t
has been rather to teach them hab-
its of patience and industry in do
ing work where no hope of gain or
fame is present to urge the worker
on. We can all take pains when we
want to make money or get some
reputation, but very few of us think
that whatever is worth doing well
and in workman-like manner, al
though 1t is merely pastlme.
There is another view of the qnes-
ton which must not be left out of
sight. We are all of us very fond
of using our hands, and if we do
not use them to make something,
we use them to destroy something.
In this respect girls are generally
better educated than boys, for they
all learn sewing without any idea Of
ever being seamstresSes.
Give a girl needle and thread,
and she amuses herself with hum
DIRE Il useful things. Give n boy q
jackknife, aud he first cuts his fin
gers, and then cuts the school.desks.
Even when we have box of tools
given us. we are never made to
learn how to nse them properly. Jig
saws and the like never seemed TO
quite satisfy the boyish mind; the
work was too finicklng,' and not
varied enough ; in fact, it was to
real work what fancy embroidery is
to plain needle-work, and struck one
as being nearly useless.
Handicrafts differ in one pecnliar
respect fiom the labors to which
most OF us will have to give our
time. We have in everything we
do to use our hands and our brains,
but in most cases we shall have to
use our hands to carry out the work
of our brains. In handicrafts we
have to use our brains TO guide and
direct our hands, and cur minds, in
stead Of being continually on the
strain, have merely to superintend u
mechanical operation. Our thoughts
are employed without the trouble Of
thinking.-Harper'S Young People.
