Reflections Of a Man Who Has Passed the
Sprlng-Time Of Life.
The gray curtain of mist has spread
itself again over the town: every thing
is dark and dull The bells are ring
ing in the distance for some festival
with this exception every thing is
calm and silent. Except for the crack
ling of the fire, no noise disturbs nv
solitude in this modest home, the
shelter of my thoughts and of my
work, where the man of middle age
carries on the life of his student-youth
without the zest of youth. and the pro-
lessor repeats day by day the habit
which he formed as traveller. What
is it that makes that charm of this
existence outwardly so barren and
empty? Liberty! What does the alb

wanting to these rooms matter to me?

grittIeness of the Hoof.


A hard hoof is desirable rather than
otherwise, as the foot will not wear so
much when the horse goes unshOd in
the summer; but it tends to become
brittle and break away under the strain
of the shoe nails. If the hOOf is brit
tie in this way it is an advantage rath-
er than otherwise, as the injury by
breaking can easily be prevented by
keeping the hoofs dressed with a MKT
ure Of vaseline and glycerine. If the
hOOf, however, crumbles at the sole
and around the walls into soft powder,
this indicates disease of the horn in
duced by an infamed condition of the
interior Of the foot. and often follows
an attack of founder Qaminitis, or
fever of the feet). This should be
treated by the use of a cooling lax
alive, as a pound of epson salts and
bran mashes for food for a time; the
feet should be poulticed with linseed
meal until all heat about them is re-
moved, and then dressed daily with
the vaseline and glycerine mixture.
This condition Of the feet is frequently
produced by the horse standing in soft
manure, which rOts the horns and
causes the brittleness complained Of
N. Y. Times.

Good suggestions,

The Board of Trade held meeting
last Friday, and report of the proceed
ings will be foond in the HERALD this
morning. Many excellent suggestions
are contained therein. 1t is over 800
miles from this city to the State Peni-
tentiary or the State Insane Asylum.
To transport criminals or patients such
distance is a great expense. A branch
of both institutions should be established
in this end of She State at once.
Our Senators and Assemblymen ought
to rush this matter with vigor.
The passage of the New Charter is
urged. The HERALD opposed that in
srument on the ground that it was
unfair in its appcrtionment OF
the wards, and on other grounds.
The people either thought US wrong in
these matters, or they thought the OBJ
4 iections were not of sufficient moment to
defeat the Charter. At any rate, they
voted for the Charter by an overwbelm'
ing majority. The HERALD is a great re-
specter of the will of the sovereign peo
pie. Ey all means let them have wha'
they want. If it is bad, they will find i
out and remedy its defects.
Il Anything that can be done to secure
the efficiency of our watersheds, and tt
preserve our forests, is in the right direc
ton. 1t is of particular importance Il
! this end OF the State.
AS to the establishment of militar.
post in this section, it was first broache'
in these columns. 1t is wise movemen
that should be carried out.

AND now Los Angeles is to have q
girls seminary under the auspices Of the
Episcopal Church. There is 10 city OF
twice its size in any of the Oldest of the
States which can boast such excellent
educational advantages as Los Angeles.
All the churches maintain high.grade
schools or colleges here, and nearly all
of them have schools for both sexes.
Some of them, notably the Methodist
and Catholic churches, have finely
equipped colleges. Then there are a
number of excellent private schools for
both sexes, where all branches of
education and all the accomplishments
are taught. The public schools of the
city are objects of grea. care, and ample

it's Pacific Coast terminus. The compile
ton of this new trsnscontinental rail-
way will double the population of this
city and county and introduce here
elements OF growth and wealth that have
not hitherto been dreamed Of. The fact
that it's building IS under way will OF
itself give this region a guarantee Of
stability and progress which is worth
millions to us. TIE actual expenditures of
money in constructing the road, the build
ing of depots, round houses, and prob
ably workshops will of themselves count
for much, but they will by no means be
the sum total of the benefits accruing to
us. The advent of this new road will
restore to us the old trade with Salt Lake
City and the intermediate country, which
was one of the leading elements of the
'dobie town of twenty-five and thirty
years ago. The fact that the people oi
Salt Lake naturally gravitated to Los
Angeles to do their business three and
four decades ago, when the only method
of transportation was by packing anG
prairie schooner, shows that the new
road is one of the geographical demands

County.Soat War I'm Nebraska.

ELwooD, Neb. January 5.-The Sheriff
and posse of seventy-6ve mer made a
descent on Homerville yesterday, during
the absence of the county officials at
McCook, disarmed the citizens who were
guarding the courthouse with Winchester
rifles, and brought back a portion
of the county records to Elwood.
On November 30th the long and
bitter fight for the county-seat OF
Gosper county eliminated in an
election, in which the necessary two
thirds vote for it's removal from Homer
Vile to Elwood was secured. Homer
vile, however, refused to give up the
records. The latest developments, OF
course, divides the records between the
two towns and broadens the chasm be-
tween their respective citizens, with
excellent prospects OF further hostilities
in the near future.

We ARE informed by real estate men
that there is a great demand just now
for small tracts of land for truck garden
ing purposes. There is large class of
people now coming to Los Angeles who
are willing to engage in truck raising,
and who would gladly lease ten, twenty
and thirty-acre tracts for term Of years.
Strange to say, it is difficult to get such
lands in quantities to suit, and yet there
are immense areas Of moist soil in this
county on which industrious men could
not only make living, but accumulate
completeness. We could name a dozen
ranchos, like the Cerritos and Alamitos,
which could be either subdivided and
sold or leased to those desirous of culti-
waiting them. 1t would be far better for
the owners of these lands to place them
ON the market or lease them, thus help
ing to release US from dependence abroad
and enhancing the value of their prop
critics.
