A Shying Horse.

To the inquiry, Why does horse shy?
the National Live Stock Journal replies:
Because he sees something which he does
not understand, and is filled with greater
or less degree of fear, something as the
boy feels when he SHES at the burying
ground, and goes around to keep clear of
it. 1t may be some new or unusual OBJ
ject that the horse sees, or it may be an
imperfect view of it. Even q familiar
object, if it comes to view suddenly and
unexpectedly, will cause horse to shy
or jump, just as an unexpected object or
sound causes a nervous person to start.
When person is 30 startled, how much
would it improve the matter to be scolded
at or given cut with whip? Just as
much as the same treatment would in the
case of he horse. Harshness only aggra-
Yates the matter.
The more the horse is scolded aud
whipped, the more nervous be gets; and
every time he passes the place where the
flight and whipping occurred, he will re
collect the unpleasant affair, and he will
begin to pick up his ears and hdget,
ready for another jump. Give him the
lines, and he will go in hurry. The
proper way is never to strike or scold a
horse that is startled or frightened. Speak
to him coolly, calmly, and kindly; give
him time to see and collect his scattered
senses, and make him feel that you are
his friend and protector. When ne sees
that all is right, there is an end to all
further trouble. We have seen horse
refuse to cross an unsate-looking bridge
but when the driver took him by the bits
and walked ahead, the horse cautiously
followed. Next time he required no
coaxing or urging to cross the bridge.
He might have been whipped into it at
first, but was not the -milder course,
although little trouble, the better one
The horse showed his confidence in the
driver ever afterward.

How to Make Yourself Unhappy.

In the first place, if you want to make
yourself miserable, be selfish. Think all
the time of yourself and your things.
Don't care about anything else. Have
no feeling for any but yourself. Never
think Of enjoying the satisfaction of see'
ing others happy, but rather if you see q
smiling face be jealous lest another
should enjoy what you have not. Envy
every one who is better off than yourself;
think unkindly of them and speak lightly
of them. Be constantly afraid lest some
one should encroach upon your rights;
be watchful against it, and if any should
come near your things snap at them like
a mad dog. Contend earnestly for every
thing that is your own that may not be
worth pin. Be very sensitive and take
everything that is said to you in playful
ness in the most serious manner. Be
jealous of your friends lest they should
not think enough of you, and if at any
time they should seem to neglect you put
the worst construction upon their conduct.

Whenever know of anything that
be of service to my fellow.men, | desire
to impart such information hence l
give the following facts to the public:
Mrs. M. NJ. Prince, living at 3S West
Fair ST., Atlanta, Ga, has been troubled
for several months with an ugly form OF
catarrh, attended with copious and
offensive discharge from both nostrils.
Her system became so affected and re-
duced that she was confined to bed at my
house for some time, and received the
attention of three physicians; and used
a dozen bottles of an extensive advertised
blood remedy, all without the least bene-
fit. She finally commenced the use of B.
B. B., with decided improvement at
once, and when ten bottles had been
used, she was entirely cured of all symp'
toms of catarrh. 1t gave her an appe-
tite, and increased her strength rapidly,
and I cheerfully recommend it as quick
and cheap tonic and Blood Purifier.

cient to raise the hair of the settlers and
miners as neatly as if o Sioux brave
superintended the job, Prof. Hammond
adds that "terri6c cyclones, earthquakes
and tornadoes," will devastate the United
States in general and the Pacific seaboard
in particular on September 26, 27 and %.
His predictions cannot be dismissed in a
summary fashion, as he has been q de.
voted student of seismology for many
years, and, residing in country where
such disturbances are of frequent occur.
renee, he has had opportunities for
observation such as are(aforded to few
scientists. . But the most startling corrob-
Grafton of Prof. Hammond's forecast is
furnished by Prof. Andrew Jackson
Devoe, the self-taught meteorologist of
New Jersey. He is of medium height,
and apparently about 81 years of age.
His eyes are gray aud bright. They have
a. peculiar interpretive look, such as is
often remarked in the eyes of students
and of men who live good deal by
themselves. His brow is high but mar.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS.

John Belinski. of the Second ward, was
arrested by Deputy Sheriff Brook and
taken before Justice Halliger yesterday
morning, for violating the statute against
cruelty to animals. Testimony was ad-
duced proving that Belinski for some
months past, had failed to provide his
team of horses with proper food or water,
and had worked them when old, diseased
and totally unfit for use. 1t was also proved
that the only food the beasts had for some
time past, was wheat straw, not even clean
water being given them. Nothing, what
eyer, was found in the barn and the poor
animals literally died of neglect and
starvation. All these things were proven
by neighbors of the accused. Belinski
was fined $25 for his cruelty, and to this
was added $l6.16 for costs, making a sum
total of $41.16, which was not hall
enough in view of the aggrayation of the
case. 1t is hoped, however, that this
example will be a warning to others, who
think that they can abuse dumb beasts
without fear of punishment

THE JAMES S. WHITE CASE.

A dispatch from Madison dated May
Is says:
The papers in the case of the state of
Wisconsin against James s. White. ex-
comptroller OF the city of Milwaukee, were
certified up 10 the supreme court by
Judge A. Scott Sloan several weeks ago
The supreme court was asked to decide
the following questions OF law:
First-Were the so called bonds, at the
time they were converted by White, pro.
perty, for the taking and conversion of
which the defendant can be found guilty
of embezzlement?
Second-Did the defendant receive the
said so-called bonds as an officer, agent,
clerk, employee or servant of the city of
Milwaukee, by virtue of such office or
employment?
To-day the supreiSe court rendered an
opinion in which both questions were an
swered afirmatively. White is awaiting
sentence. and this decision will doubtless
be the means of sending him to prison for
few years.

STRANGE ACCIDENT.

Last Saturday evening at half-past six
o'clock, as the gravel train on the st.
Paul road was passing over the bridge
two miles east OF the city, John Watsek,
of the Seventh ward, one of the working
gang, fell from the caboose into the river,
distance of some twenty feet. One Of
his neighbors happened to witness the
accident and. obtaining a boat, rescued
the man, who was apparently nearly
dead from the fail. Watsek was taken
to his home and DIR. w. G. Spalding
called to attend, him. It was discovered
that his left wrist received compound
fracture, which, strange to say, was his
only injury withsthe exception of some
slight bruises on portions of his body.
Watsek can give no account of the acct
dent. He only remembers standing by
the stove in the caboose and getting over
come with the heat just as the train
neared the bridge The next thing he
remembers was when he found himself
| ia his bed at home He had not been
feeling we'll for several days, and claims
to have eaten neither breakfast nor dinner
on Saturday. From this abstinence it
is surmised that his condition must have
been weakened. At first the reports
were that the man had attempted suicide,
but it is now the general opinion that
there is nothing in the case to base this
theory upon, One Of Watsek's working
companions was witness to his falling
from the train, but he made no report of
the matter until the train pulled up at
the depot, which denoted either heart
lessness or an obliviousness that is wholly
inexcusable. Watsek is getting along as
we'll as can be expected, but will be lai d
up some weeks yet.

OMAHA. Neb., May Is. 1886.

OMAHA, NeU., May 10, 1000.
Editor Republican:-Tbis is truly the
metropolis of Nebraska. Over 20 years
ago [ visited Omaha, when it was an
Quitting point for miners and emigrants
crossing the plains. Then "Prairie
Whisky" as they called it in those days,
was sold in about every other place of
business, it was the staple commodity of
the country and [ have no doubt many
way farer took too much of the stuff, was
undoubtedly robbed and tumbled into
the turbid Missouri to rise no more to
the surface. And [ am told that few
sober men, who fall into the Missouri ever
get cut alive, the water being SO heavy
with sand and mud, it is impossible to
long keep ahOat.
Omaha to-day seems to be lively and
fourishing. They are building very
rapidly and had over $1,000 inhabitants
last year according to the census. They
have one thing in connection With their
streets, which, | think is The finest I have
ever seen. Their thoroughfares are all
laid in this De Gclyer pavement, which.
/ think is about the same as they use on
their boulevards in Chicago. They haul
heavy loads over it, some of the streets
have been laid over three years and frost
or wear has not affected it in the least.
Omaha, think has bright future.
The railroads are extending in all d.rec>
tons. The Chicago.& Northwestern has
line completed to Chadron, 442 miles
west of the Missouri river, and from there
will soon have their line done to Rapid
City, Dakota. They are also extending
their line west of Omaha and expect to
reach Fort Fetterman by Oct, 1st Fort
Fetterman is town $50 miles west of
Chadron, their line will then be 592 miles
west of the Missouri. Along these lines
OF railroads are springing up new towns,
and the young man who strikes out and
gets into some of these growing places
and gets foothold, will undoubtedly
make fortune. The older states offer
no such inducements as the great west,
elbow room is getting scarce, and Neb-
raska and Wyoming offer to the young
to-day, what Wisconsin did 80 years ago.
La 10 years more this great country will
have been supplied with railroads and
cities, and we will then have to sigh as
Alexander did for more worlds to con-
quer.
leave here in day or two for Chica.
