There are various diseases which affect
horses more severely than mankind, and
vice versa. For instance, inflammation
of the bowels is not disease of a hope
less character in the human being, while
it is invariably fatal in the horse. If a
horse said to be suffering from this dis
ease RECEIVERS you may safely make up
your mind that the diagnosis was wrong
and that the animal had acute indiges-
ton, impaction of the bowels, or some
trouble not Of an infiammatory nature.
In some lung troubles the reverse holds
good. Horses suffer a great deal from
bronchitis and pneumonia, but the death
rate from these. affections is nothing like
as high as in the human subject This is
probably because the use of stimulants
enters SO largely into the treatment of
these troubles, and that mans system
does not respond as quickly to alcohol as
the system of the water drinking horse.
There is much to be learned from a
glance over comparative pathology,
though very few physicians know any
thing of disease except as it is exhibited
in the human race.-Dr. Ii. +. James in
Globe-Democrat.

The Man of MANY Passes.

Life with the general passenger agent
of railroad is one continued round of
pleasure. He is about the only official
connected with the management of a
railroad who can travel around the coun-
try without money and without price.
His fat pocketbook contains the magical
open sesame to all lines of road in the
country, and he also possesses the potent
pasteboard which gives to him the privi-
leges of the sleeping cars and the dining
cars. When the general freight agent
travels he has his annual railroad passes,
but he is obliged to produce to the repre-
sentatives of the sleeping car companies
and pay the usual tariff for his meals in
the dining cars. A general passenger
agent can start for New York with only
his collection of ANIMALS and the price Of
two cocktails and return home with the
entire outfit, as some one will certainly
turn up to purchase his cocktails for
him. TO paraphrase the old time chest
nut, the general passenger agent could
go around the world with paper collar
and So bill and change only the collar.

Ludlow Is IN the throes of an incip-
pient post-otfice struggle-trying to
take it by the forelock. This indie
cent haste is simply disgraceful. We
are ashamed of our Republican friends
who are already longing for the flesh
pots of post-office and making pre-
mature efforts to be first in the race.
If their Republicanism reaches no
higher than little government sine
cure, for heavens sake let them join
Nasty at "Confederit X Roads, -
and be done with it. We are no adj
vocates of the SO called civil service
reform, but we do believe in decencv
and in extending to the vanquished
the ordinary amenities of life.

The Atlanta Constitution dem. \

"For heavens sake let us never
hear again the promise of Democratic
gains in the Northwest Every e.
lection we are promised that the farm
ers OF the Northwest are going to
come right into camp. and bring sew
eral States along with them. This
year it was all fixed We were to
get them, sure. = Well, thew

teen Congressman out there, which
hardly leaves us enough for seed.
The Republican majorities are in
creased everywhere. From
the New Jersey line to the Pacific
Ocean the West is solidly Republi-
can-and is going to stay that way.
Our hope is, and has been, New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut p
But what are these states going to
amount to after the admission of the
great Northwest territories? Here
is chance for the Constitution to
raise another whine.

A TRUE TURKEY STORY.

There was time not long ago when
turkey roasted too high for the man with
a moderate rent roll, but cold storage has
changed all this. The public has but a
misty idea of cold storage, but the bust
ness is full of cold facts. In one of the
twelve warehouses in New York city, ac-
cording to certain veracious reporter who
was detailed to hunt up something curious
for the Thanksgiving number, there is a
turkey Of the harvest of 1878 still in re-
markable state of preservation. This
featherless bird has post-mortem his
tory. He was raised in Orange county
and passed an uneventful life till his neck
was wrung in the interests of the human
race. He was hung up in Washington
market as the prize turkey, weighing
forty pounds. Nobody wanted turkey
of that weight on that Thanksgiving Day
While it had been good year, nobody
felt blessed to the extent of buying turkey
by the fraction of ton.
After Thanksgiving was over the tur.
key disappeared. Patrons of Washington
market missed him, and imagined his
fate. 1t was given out that an uptown
hotel had bought him. In week he was
forgotten. A year later and forty pound
turkey was again suspended by the feet
on the same beam in the market place
He had the rosy glow of youth, and no
body suspected that it was the ghost of a
year-dead bird. Styles ran to small tur-
keys that year, and the butcher adver-
tised steaks off the big fowl, but the pub
lie was not educated up to turkey steaks
That is why the turkey remained intact,
80 hot
Years followed and still prize turkey
weighing forty pounds was displayed each
latter part of November under the inscrip
ton:
Orange county's pride. Raised by
Farmer Biggs, of Meadowlake farm
Boarders taken in summer.
Marketers began to recognize the big
turkey as coeval with Thanksgiving. No.
body not in the business suspected that
one turkey only was in the plot. Board
ers from Biggs' swore they saw the iden
tical turkey in the summer time walking
around in the best hen society.
Cold storage did it. The turkey was
this year on exhibition in Washington
market, as usual. His toughness was
somewhat tenderly inquired for so4aakh hat
early in the season, but the answer then
was that Biggs had not yet sent in his
annual carload of turkeys. Later the
order was sent to the cold storage ware
house to reproduce the monster, and all
was busy about the place in consequence
But up to the hour of going to press
there have been no advices from the
metropolis to the effect that any one had
the nerve to buy the frozen antiquity
fyou should ever visit the big city across
the North river from Jersey City about
Thanks giving time, so to Washington
market and ask for Diggs' big bird. and it
will undoubtedly he pointed out to you

SO does the short haul bill introduced
by DR.. Holton of Brattleboro. The
House passed bill prohibiting the
manufacture and sale of oleomarga-
rlne, but the Senate killed it. Last
ednesday the bill confering munic-
pal suffrage upon women was over
whelmlngly defeated. Mr.. Mann's
bill for the appointment of a commits

Manufacturing interests passed the
house by a large majority.

The Boston journal thinks the
Vermont legislature refused women
suffrage ON account of the female adj
vocates of this and other reforms 90
ing off on third party cruise. The
Rutland Herald thinks that this is no
reason, for the men have done the
same thing. Just so, but perhaps the
"assembled wisdom thought it no
reason that they should confer suf-
1rage upon one body of cranks be-
cause the other body had inherited
the privilege. Seriously, however,
the Herald is right. But the fact re-
mains that the cause of Temperance
and female suffrage has been retard-
ed by these unwise friends of both
sexes.

Ex-Congressman, Chalmers,

Ex-Congressman, Chalmers, of
Mississippi writes the st, Louis Globe
Democrat an able letter upon the po-
litical situation, and has the follow
ing to say in reference to the sup
preston of the negro votes
"If Cleveland had carried New
York, New Jersey and Connecticut,
and been counted in by electoral votes
of States where the coored vote was
in majority and confessedly sup
pressed, it would have been a severe
strain upon the conservatism of the
Republican people to submit to it,
and there would have been imminent
danger of another civil war. The e.
lection of Harrison averted this and
it should now be the aim, as it is the
duty, of every true patriot to provide
against its possible recurrence. That
the local affairs of State are beyond
the control of the General Govern
ment all parties admit, aud no Re-
publican desires TO interfere with To-
cal affairs of the South. The junior
Senator for Mississippi made an able
argument to show that where the eff
fects of race prejudice were confined
to local affairs the General Govern
ment had no right to interfere. If
we should grant this to be true, al
though doubtful under strict con-
stluction of the fifteenth amendment,
it would seem certainly clear that
where the exhibition of race prejudice
does affect the welfare of the nation,
then the General Government not
only has power, but is in duty bound
to interfere. The suppression of the
negro vote in Congressional and
Presidential elections directly affects
the welfare of the nation. And if
counting the negro vote legally to
elect a white Republican to Congress
exciles the race prejudice Of South
ern democrat, certainly counting the
negro vote illegally by Southern
democrat to elect President is well
calculated to excite the sectional pre-
judice of Northern Republican"

The custom of life insurance compa-
relative to payments ofpolicies where
death occurs from suicide has changed
materially of late years. In the early
days Of life insurance such claims were
never paid, and there is a provision iii
most policies issued heretofore that the
claim shall Ice void if the deceased dies
by his own act. But at the present time
all large companies issue policy which
is absolutely incontestable Ter any cause
whatever (not excluding fraud in the ap-
plication) after three years. They t2ke
the ground that suicide does not happen
frequently enough to make it an clement
of risk, and further that, SO far as fraud
is concerned, if they do not discover any
thing of that nature il, three years they
are rot likely ever to do so.-Bostou
