The Goyernm enS and the Constitution
st. Nicholas. All the way along our
national career we find the people di-
vided over the question OF federal au-
thority--some fayoripR its liberal exren.
sion, others demanding that it be held
carefully in check. The right OF the
government TO construct or aid "interneI
mprovements''-su az the building OF
national roads, the opening of water
ways, and the improvement OF navigable
etreams--to charter national banks and
carry out other great measures, has been
fought step by step; and for this reason
the later amendments to the constitution,
TO guard as fer as possible against new
doubts or conflicts, expressly confer
upon the government the power to en-
force the provisions OF such amendments.
As there are people to day who believe
that the government has far exceeded
its true province, 30 there are Others
| who believe it has not gone far enough
| 1t is suggested, for instance, that the
government should build ship canals,
and take charge of the railroads, OF the
telegraph, end OF variety OF other
great iuterests, and manage them for
| the common benefit OF the people, and
that, iflt docs not possess Sufficient
power under the constitution as it
stands, amendments shonld be adopted
| giving it more power.
| It will surprise no one at all familiar
| with the subject 10 be told that the gov.
ernment lie doing things which, under
the constitution, it ought not to DO; and,
on the other hand, that il ia not doing
things which. under the constitution, it
ought to do. And those who blindly de.
maud an increase OF power would do
we'll to first understand the power il
actually wieIds to-day. That amend-
ments will be adopted IN the course OF
time cannot be doubted; for new, condi.
tions provide new questions. But they
are serious affairs. They should be
made with caution. The person who

Enormous Demand for Eggs.

An egg merchant, who goes from house tC
house buying eggs, told us few days since
that he expected to have to pay 80 cents dozeI
for eggs before Christmas.
This is remarkable, when we reflect that III,
poultry industry of this county last veal
amounted tn nearly seven hundred million dol.
lars ; and even then, we had to import severa
million dollars worth Of foreign eggs. Our own
eggs for food alone far exceed the supply. AT
fifty cents per dozen eggs cheap as beef
steak for food. Many persons who keep hens
will probably not have an egg to sell when they
reach fifty cents Some one may ask, "what
can body do, when the pesky old hens stop
laying, and the puets refuse to begin until
spring? :" Why do as VIM. II. Yeomans, of

Clnders In the Eye.

Nine persons ont of every ten with a
cinder or any foreign substance in the

with one hand while hunting for their
handkerchief with the other. They may
and sometimes do remove the offending
cinder but more frequently they Will rub
the eve till it becomes intiamed, bind a
handkerchief about the head and go to
bed. This is all wrong. The better way
Is not to rub the eye with the cinder in 1t
at all, but rub the other eye as vigorously
as you like.

engine of the fast express from Birmng-
ham to Corning. The engineer, an old

will be out in two minutes" persisted the
engineer. | began to rub the other eye,
and soon | felt the cinder come down
near the inner canthus, and made ready
to take it out. ''Let it alone and keep
at the well eye" shouted the doctor pro

Diet for a Rundown Horse

In reply to the question, What is the
best feed to give horse that is run down
in strength and fieshS Massachusetts
Plowman says: If you cannot get pas
turage feed your horse fresh cut grass
or clover hay, with a few oats, say -four
to six quarts daily, and give him gentle
work or exercise so a to keep his appe
titc and digestion good. As he gains
strength you can substitute corn meal
mixed with cut hay for one or two
rations daily using not over four quarts a
day.
Corn meal alone is no. so safe a grain
for horses as oats; most cases of collie
we believe are to be traced to injudiciou,
use of corn meal; but horses fatten rap
idly on it and it is cheaper than oats; tt
make it safe article of diet we would al
wise mixing it with the same bulk OF
wheat bran or feeding in connection "itf

The heavy driving rains often carry
away from the barn yard deep streau
of valuable fertilizing material, which Ii

ed by keeping the yard well scraped VI
and the contents carried out promptly to
the field and spread. There they are safe
from teaching and waste, and there they

the great leaks of the farm, and yet it is
