Hints About Horses.

It costs more to keep a poor horse than
il does to keep good one.
Change the feed for your horses often
enough to make them relish it.
Improper feeding is the cause Of nine
cut Of ten cases Of sickness among
horses.
Every time you worry your horses you
shorten their lives and days of usefulness.
Sweat and dust cause the horses
shoulders to gall. So do poor, ill.titting
collars.
The temperature of water for horses is
not so much of an object as the purity
of il. While it is best to have the water
cool, 1t is more important to have it free
from all impurities.
Mares in foal should have exercise and
moderate work, and under no circum-
stances should they be subjected to harsh
treatment, nor should they ever be
allowed to go where they would DO in
danger of being frightened.
The horse which can plough an acre
while another horse is ploughing half an
acre, or that which can carry a load of
passengers ten miles while another is
going Eve, independent Of all considera-
tons OF amusement, taste, or what is
called fancy, is absolutely worth twice as
much to the owner as the other.
Affection cannot be pounded in. Kind
treatment insures the affection of an ami
NAL, while rough treatment is sure to
cause its hatred.
1t is alike dangerous to other horses
and men to spare the life Of glandered
horse Chambers is highly contagious,
incurable disease, and as rule fatal in
the human subject.
When horses are suffering from the
bites Of flies or stings Of other insects,
sponge the parts that cannot be pro-
tected by nets with water in which in
sect powder has been mixed--a table,
spoonful to two gallons of water.
of two colts similar in disposition aud

and valuable family horse. while the
other may be vicious, treacherous, and
unsafe ali because of difference in the

sarrsited With Excitement and Game

Newkirk's Valley, in the town of Hur-
ley. n. Y, is favorite hunting ground,
and scores Of cartridges. woodcock, and
other game have been bagged there re-
Gently. Hunter Dave burnley had a
rough sort Of time in the valley. His
bag was plethoric with diversity of
game, but he was not yet satisfied, when
his dog, which was some little distance
away. began barking tiercely and paw
ing at the foot Of tree Furnley went
to reconnoitre, aud q raccoon, closely
followed by wildcat crossed his path.
The coon sought refuge IN a hole
among some rocks, and the cat followed
after, both animals being hotly pursued
by the dog. The dog caught the cat
when part way in the hole, aud drawing
it out. gave il an unmerciful shaking.
The dog would, IN all probability, have
killed the cat il another big cat had not
appeared on the scene. The newcomer
was an ugly brute and il bit and
scratched the dog until. as Dave said,
lit fairly guy in and rolled over dead. !"
The hunter had left his gun on his game
bag when he followed the dog, so he had
no weapon but his iackknife aud stout
stick with which he laid blow after blow
on the cats. They turned simultane-
ously on the hunter aud their sharp claws
made ugly gashes in his flesh. Ills coat
was literally torn from his body. At
last the hunter succeeded in plunging
his knife in one OF the wildcats and
killed it. The other chung to him and
bit and scratched until he got il by the
throat and choked it to death.-Nep

the command of five Italian officers to
try and surprise Dedeb's force. On the
road the officers enlisted the ser
vices of 200 members OF
the Assaortin tribe. Saganati was
reached on Wednesday last, and it was
found that Dedeb had been warned Of
their approach and entrenched his po-
sition. An attack was made by the
Italian force, however, and they succeed
ed in carrying the village, but during
the assault the Assaortins proved treach-
erous and made an attack on the Italian
rear. The Bashi- Bazouks became panic.

AFFLICTED FLORIDA.
The Exodus From Jacksonville.
Business ParalYZed.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla, August 13.-The
fever panic continues. People are leav-

exodus. Outlying cities and towns, both
near and distant, are continually estab-
fishing quarantine against US. The po-
lice force has been increased and mount
ed police now patrol the streets night
and day. No case of yellow fever has
yet occurred among the negro population.
Business is completely paralyzed and
negroes out Of work gather in knots in
the streets and, it is feared, will soon
begin to plunder and pillage the hun
dreds of unoccupied houses in the
city. Rumors Of martial laws are afloat.
The situation does not yet demand it, but
may at most any hour if the thousands of
blacks remain out Of work. By reason
of the exodus from the city, the banks
have been largely drawn upon for funds.
No deposits are coming in as the mer-
chants find it impossible to collect &C.

tel balcony. There were band of music
| fireworks and cheers. When Mr.. Blaine
appeared he was escorted to the
balcony by DIR. Burden, Henry c.
| Lodge and o. w. Beard and others.
Mr.. Blaine's appearance evoked tremen-
dous cheers, which were renewed again
and again. Mr.. Blainee turned to DIR.
Burden and remarked of the balcony on
which he stood: "There is something in
secure about this" DR.. Burden reas-
sured him, however, and after some
little time it was again possible Tor Or.
Burden to make himself heard. While
introducing Blaine he used among others
these words: He (Blaine) comes to us
tonight, not with the pomp and display
of General, but as a private soldier in
the ranks, ready for orders, but our Gen
eral (Harrison) will not allow him to re-
main long in the ranks. He will issue
to him a commission as commander-in-
chief of the Republican forces in the field.
HIS BOSTON SPEECH.
Mr.. Blaine, replying said: My voice
has been so much worn to-day by SPEAK
ing that I doubt if I may be heard to the
limit of this great assembly, to give
thanks to their greeting OF me to New
England. For all the absence and feel
ing of an exile that l felt beyond the
sea, am compensated over and over
again by the magnificent welcome 1
have received since touched my native
shore. From no town, city or
State has this been more CRATE
tul than from Boston, and
the great and leading State of Massa-
chusetts. Ever since the Republican
party came into existence, more than
generation ago, at no time. on no issue,
and under no exigency has Massachu-
setts failed to respond for the right.
Never was Massachusetts called on for a
more important part than in this year of
grace, 1888, in electing Harrison and
Morton. What Massachusetts, says she
can do she will do. Already our oppo-
nents have taken the alarm, and the
Young Mems Democratic Clubs of Mas
sachusetts have set themselves the task
to prove that you can introduce
free trade in the United States without
reducing the wages of American laborers.
They are alarmed; President Cleveland
is alarmed; the supporters of the Mills
bill are alarmed the Democratic party
is alarmed, because they know the
mighty power of that host which earns
its bread by the sweat of the brow. and
it will resent the attempt to place them
on the low basis of the European plan.
We will let the Democratic party know
that this is no fight for manu-
facturers. They can take care of them
selves; but this is a fight for the strong
arm and sturdy heart of the American
laborer. If we have free trade, the fac
tories will not be closed, but if kept open
they will be run at half the present
wages. That is the issue which should
be pressed home on the Democratic
party. They should be arraigned as
arraign them-as conspirators against
he welfare of every laboring man. Let
hat be the issue and the watchword of
and defeat is impossible.
Thanking the great gathering for its
reception Mr.. Blaine withdrew.
