SHERMAN AND LINCOLN.
The Generals First Impressions We're Not
Favorable.
Vo,,tb-

1OuCn companion.
General Sherman makes no secret of
the fact that his first impressions of
President Lincoln we're decidedly un-
favorable. He came to know him better
before long, however, and describes with
evident satisfaction a visit which the
president made to the army Of the PotO-
mac, soon after the battle Of Bull Run.
General or Colonel Sherman, as his
title then was, asked Mr.. Lincoln, If he
intended to speak 20 the men, and added
9hat he hoped he would discourage all
oh eering and confusion.
Mr.. Lincoln stood up in his carriage,
and, as Gen. Sherman says, made one of
the neatest, best and most feeling ad-
dresses ever listened to. Once or twice
the boys began to cheer, but the president
promptly checked them, remarking in
his own peculiar manner:
"Don't cheer boys: confess I rather
like it myself, but Colonel Sherman here,
says it isn't military, and I guess We had
better defer to his opinion"
After the speechmaking was over, an
officer approached the carriage, evident
ly in a state of great excitement and
said: "Mr. President, have cause of
grievance. This morning I went to
speak to Col. Sherman and he threatened
to shoot me-"
Mr.. Lincoln, still standing, replied ;
''threatened to shoot your"
eyes, sir, he threatened to shoot me-"
The president looked at the soldier and
then at the colonel, and then stopping
toward the soldier, said in lopd stage
whisper, audible for quite distances:
swell, if l were you and Sherman
threatened to shoot nae, wouldn't trust
him, for I believe he would do it."
The complainant disappeared amid the
laughter of the men, and the president
remarked to the colonel,
"Of course I didn't know anything
about the case, but thought you knew
your business best"

Hints About Horses.
Medical Classics.

Medical Classics.
It costs more to keep a poorhorse than
1t does to keep good one.
Change the food for your horses Otter
enough TO make them relish it.
Improper feeding Is the cause of nine
out Of ten cases of sickness among
horses.
Sweat and dust cause the horses should
ers to gall. So do poor, i'll fitting col
lars.
Its alike dangerous to other horses
and men 10 spare the life OF glandered
horse. Chambers is highly contagious,
:ncprab.e disease, and as q rule, fatal in
the human subject.
The temperature OF water for horses
is not SO much Of an obi scs as the purity
OF II. While 1t Is best 90 have il cool, it
Is more important TO have it free from
all purilies.
Of two colts similar in dis position and
sense, ona may develop into a steady and
valuable family horse, while the other
may be vicious, treacherous and unsafe
all because Of difference in the mer
handling them.
When horses ere suffering from the
bites of flies or stings of other insects,
sponge the parts which canno$ be protect
ed by nets with water IN which insect
powder has been mixed-a tablespoonful
TO two gallons OF water.
Affection cannot be pounded in. Kind
treatment ensures the affection of an ami
NAL, while rough treatment is sure to
cause its hatred.
Every time you worry your horses you
shorten their lives aud days of usefulness

Fattening Hogs.


The process OF converting grain into
pork by means of machine called hog
is by no means difficult one, provided
the machine is kept in running order.
It is folly to suppose and expect that
hog can convert any and all kinds of food
into pork. It is necessary that, if we
wan pork, we must feed those foods that
will produce flesh and fat. When hogs
arrive at the proper age of fattening ses
that every one is in a healthy condition
and is thriving. The system must be in
perfect order, that food may not be was
ted. Don't throw in wagon load of
corn, reminding your hogs that that is
all they will get for week, but gradually
and Systematically work them up to "full
feed" Do not change the diet too sud
denly, and especially use care in chang
ing from green to solid food. Adopt reg
ular hours for feeding, and the animals
will soon learn to expect it about that
time every day. With old hogs food
twice day is often enough, but with
young shoats [ would advise feeding
three times a day, as by only feeding
twice they overload their stomachs. The
food should always be given in clean
wholesome condition and never allowed
to sour. The barrels of watts in which
food is mixed should be cleaned after
each feeding, and all surplus food i

lv Hanged Himself

ly Hanged Himself.

might and main to drag her toward the
door she arose from be sea. and went,

where the grandson was moaning. The
boy was Instantly extricased from his
perilouc position though it was some
time before he recovered from his pain
and fright.

A New Russian Loan to be Issued.

BERLIN, Nov. PA new Russian loan
is to be issued on December 7th. In the
meantime German holders of Russian se-
curisies are assiduously selling, finding
Paris willing to absorb all kinds of Russian
securities. The ready buying by foreign
houses, combined with the authoritative
announcement that the contract stipu-
lates that the loan shall be used solely for
the conversion of 1877 bonds, has main
tanned the price of Russians and has har-
dened the quotation of roubles which
closed at 20750.
