A Nailless Horseshoe.

Benjamin F. Sheflall,a young blacksmith
of this city, says the Jacksonville (Florida)
Citizen, has invented what will apparently
prove a fortune to him. II is nailless
horseshoe, and Mr.. Sheital IS said to have
accomplished what many others who have
tried before him have tailed TO accomplish.
The patent department at Washington re
fers to the invention as being greater than
the Edison phOnOgraph, such IS It's value
AS is well known, the custom now in
vogue when shoeing horse is to fasten the
shoes on with several nails, which are driven
into the horses hoof, and the shoe is thus
held firmly in place. 1t frequently happens,
however, that unless the nails are driven in
the proper manner and care used, in short
time the horse will be famed, and serious
results follow. The horses hoof is also fire.
auentIy cut up with the nails, and more or
less trouble results. Hence the necessity OF
a horseshoe by which this trouble can be
obvated. Mr. Sheftall believes that he has
invented il. He has tried the shoe on about
twenty horses and mules in this city during
the past two months, and he states that they
work perfectly. Mayor Bostwick's horse
has been shod with the nailless horseshoe
for forty days, and the shoes are held in
place as firmly as when first put on. The
same is stated of horses belonging TO Thos.
McMurray, the we'll known liveryman.
The shoe is fastened on the horses foot by
means OF five Jugs, which clinch on the out.
side OF the hoof The shoe does not bind
upon the foot, but allows perfect freedom,
and, in fact, it is stated that, in test which
was made upon trotter in this city, the
horse made a mile in eleven seconds faster
time with the nailless shoe than with the
old style.
Mr.. Sheltall is very confident that he has
a good thing, and has received letters from
the Patent Office at Washington stating that
it does not infringe on any patent which is
now on file there.

G. w. WALKER,
Browningsville. Md.

Mr.. Editor In giving an account of the
Arbor Day exercises Of Comus school,
correspondent of the Sentinel failed to notice
the earnest remarks of his teacher in behalf
of the protection of our forests. He said
that it was utterly useless to plant trees
around the school house, as the trees were
being destroyed by tying horses to them.
His remarks reminded me that the trees
of your beautiful Fair Grounds, naturally
the most beautiful in the State, if not in the
United States, are being rapidly destroyed
by the same shameful practice, This is
sin and a shame and our people, one and all,
should take interest enough in their capital
city to see that those trees are protected, and
that the original beauty of the place be main
tanned, If not increased.
Let our children be taught also, that it is
their duty to protect the song and game
birds, for the trees would lose much of their
attractiveness if it were not for the birds
which sing in their branches.

Gin memory of l. M. Y, who died April
oath, 1857

lin memory of /. M. Y, who died April
oath, 1895
Sweet Spring had decked the earth in fair
est Dress
The rough March winds had ceased their
dismal moan,
The birds sang softly mid the blossoming
trees,
But sang their sweet songs in minor tone
When Irene fell asleep
The fair, fresh earth was peaceful, quiet,
calm,
The green leaves scarcely seemed to move
or stir,
| think the heart of Nature felt our grief,
And silence kept to show its love for her,
When Irene fell asleep.
The clear streams DER the pebbles glided on,
But to our ears in teardrops seemed TO flow
To US, all music held note of pain,
And voices gay were softened, hushed and
low,
When Irene fell asleep.
Was not the earth fair, sweet resting place,
For one whose spirit was so pure and bright?
And was not Spring the time for one so
young
To enter that glad Land of Heavenly Light
When Irene fell asleepH
The brightness of our lives was dmmed that
day,
A shadow fell between US and the sun,
The glad earth seemed mockery to our woe,
And hope had fled, for US all Joy was done
When Irene fell asleep.
A deep, dense darkness fell upon our lives,
The bright sky lost its tender tint of blue,
We felt sadness in the soft Spring air,
And fair flowers even lost their lovely hue
When Irene fell asleep
And is it strange our laughter lost its mirth
And all the earth was shorn Of light and love,
0 Master great and wise, when Thou didst
take
Our precious one to live with Thee above
When Irene fell asleep?
All the dark days that followed and the
pain
But now ray of light comes from the sky,
| see that He who chasteneth, loveth still,
And giveth strength and courage from on
high
Since Irene tell asleep.
o Father kind, sustain us to the end +!
Let the sweet memory of her fair young life
Comfort and gladden. US Life's journey
through,
And give US faith to conquer mid the strife
Since Irene fell asleep.
Still we are longing for the joys of Heaven,
Heart hungry for the angel faces fair,
But Time is fleeing, soon our empty arms
Shall clasp again our loved ones "Over
There"
When we shall fall asleep.
